THE BREWER oUARTETTE,

should term his enemies, Quin,
Riley, Tally and Stovall the
brewer Quart ette". Every one
understands it is the field against
Bilbo. Neither Of the candidates
will renounce the help of Brewer;
every one knows that Brewer
would give his right arm to des-
troy Bilbo. He is malicious and
unrelenting and this is true even
though for about two years after
he had begun his administration
as governor, he went to Europe
and left Bible az acting governor
knowing that Bilbo was ''self
confessed bride taker," as he
now talks so loud, yet Gov. Brewer
even paid Gov. Bilbo the COVER
nOr's salary out ofhis own pocket
when the law is that the state
shall pay it: that is not all, he
even knew of the Hobbs CASTLE
man matter before he went to
Europe and yet left Bilbo on the
job: he at many times compliment
ed Bilbo in the highest terms and
it never occurred to Gov. Brewer
to break this confidence and
praise until he and Judge Robert
Powell found that their little
scheme to join forces with Bilbo
and thus defeat Vardaman for the
United States Senate would not
work. After Powell and Brewer
found they could not play ma
chine politics with Bilbo then it
was Bilbo must be destroyed;
then it was the Burns gang came
into play in Mississippi and the
peoples money was used by the
thousands to destroy Bilbo with
a view of furthering the interests
of Brewer.
Brewer did his best The dragged
the courts into the mire; he even
went on the stand himself to
bolster up this gang of perjurers
and the jury refused to regard
our governors word any more
than they did this gang of thugs.
Had they believed Gov. Bilbo, /
Hobbs could never have come
clear. Gov. Brewer cannot escape
the fact that Hobbs was tried by
ais enemies, he cannot deny that
lie, Brewer, refused to allow a
'hange OF venue to another coun-
v, the court, the district attorney
Brewer and all said Hobbs could
,et fair trial yet after after all |
his Hobbs was declared innocent,
'et Gov. Brewer is still attempt
ng to go about over Mississippi
Ind retry this famous case. What
will the result be? Ii will be that
the people will rise up and re-
pudiate any effort of this kind in
more emphatic terms than they
did his sworn to testimony in the .
Hobhs case
Governor Brewer Is out now
aiding his quartette-the four
candidates that think they are
running against Bilbo. These
men ought to be made to say if
they accept the aid of Brewer in
this crusade of villificatiUn;if they
accept it they should say SO, if not
denounce his methods. Brewer
don't care anything about these
four, he is for anybody as much
as he is for them he is for defeat
ing Bilbo. What will this quartette
do?. We await with interest their
public declarations in this matter.
1t is the field against Bilbo in
GLIDING Brewer and that means
that if this quartette don'tpublicly
denounce Brewer in this matter
that Brewer will make it pracd-
cally unanimous for Bilbo. The
day OF villification and abuse is
gone in this state SO far as destroy.
ing reputstion--the people won'l
stand for it.

ARABIC SURVIVORS SAY
 SHIP WASN'T WARAED
Also Assert U-BOdt Used An-
 other Vessel as DGCOy,

FOrty-five survivors of the White Star liner Arabic. which was tOrpcdOed by a German submarine on Aug. l9. have arrived in New York city ou the American liner St. Paul and the White Star liner Adriatic. All united in affirming the statements forwarded from England that the Arabic was sunk without warning and added the point that the German U-hoat which sent her to the bottom used as deroy another vessel. the Dunsley. which waS sinking at the time from a previous attack.
 Among them was John Doherty, a young engineer. whose home is In Providence, k. l.. who was on the same raft with Captain William Finch of the Arabic, after the sinking. He was sitting on the hatch of No. hold, just abaft tine engine room, after break fast that morning.
 The Arabic. he said. discovered the Dunsley. which was a freighter loaded with horses and mules, sinking some 1isrance off.
 Captain Finch made for her in the hope of saving the crew. who were in their boats. The DunSleys men way ed to them. warning them not to come near. but they did not understand un- til within half a mile of the ship. when the officers realized that the German submarine must be i'll the neighbor hood.
 Before the Arabic could change her course to escape the torpedo struck her, having been fired from the am bush of the Dunsley.
 "I was stunned" Doherty said. "I was surprised to find that the water was over the ships rail and up to my knees.
 'I didn't have to dive off. 1 just swan away amid the wreckage. l came to a raft with seaman on it. l remember he was holding a tiny baby in his arms.
 "Then l saw Captain Finch. He was holding on to the raft and must have swan up to 1t just then. He couldn't climb aboard either. because he is d heavy man. and he had bad wound in his leg. We hung on until the patrol boat Magnolia rescued us and took us to Queenstown"

Advice to Younn People.

Be not q counterfeiter. my boy. Counterfeits don't make good.
 Seek public office If you will, but where many things occur, few take place.
 My daughter. always give the cen sus takcr your present husbands name. Why confuse him with n recital of past divorce or future alimony?
 Ability, my children. k not all of one kind. One man gets what he wants because we like his suitability; another because we fear his irritabillty. Some professors are accounted wise because of their incomprehensibility. and know pan who draws pension for total disability.

Yellowstone Park Fossils.

Of the fossil forests which have so far been discovered probably the most remarkable is 10 be seen in Fellow stone park. where the greater part of the trees stand upright in their natural position instead of being recumbent and scattered about the ground. as in other parts of the world. In Arizona the foSsilized trunks have evidently been carried long distance from where they originally grew. In the Yellowstone the trees new stand where they grew and where they were entombeI by the uutpuuring of various volcanic materials.
 Now as tl>o softer rocks surrounding them are gradually worn away they are left standing erect on the steep hilisides just as they stood when they were living. In fact. 1t is difficult at a little distance to distinguish some Of these fossil trunks from the lichen GOV cred stumps of kindred living species.
 It should not be supposed. however, that these trees still retain their limbs and smaller branches. for the mass of volcanic material falling on them strip ped the trunks bare.
