ESKIMOS' ORIGIN.

A pioneer of the Northern land
 who now resides at Juneau, says
 Alaska was tropical.
 There has been at different times
 Considerable discussion by eminent
 men as to the origin of the inhabi- tants of this country, known as Els
 kimos. The general theory is that these people have descended from
 some Asiatic race. have given this question some little study. I find that three theories as to the origin of the Eskimos are extant. First, that they are descendants of an Asi- atic people. Second, that along with the Indians of North America they sprang from the Aztecs of Mexico, migrating northward. Third, that they originated in this country. This
 last theory appears to me to be the most plausible and shall proceed to state my reasons.
 Let us consider first the theory of the origin of man. Evolution teaches
 us man is the product of ages; per haps aeons, of the operation of the law of natural selection on organic life. Like conditions will produce like results. It is reasonable then that man can have come into exis- tence in different parts of the world, wherever the conditions were right. There can be no question that Alaska
 was at one time a tropical cline.
 Hence these deposits of coal and car
 boniferous substances that can follow
 once great vegetable life, on what
 other grounds can the presence of
 mastodons be explained, than that this was a warm climate where plant
 and animal life developed very rap idly. Why is it not possible then,
 that animal life developed to the hu-
 man stage in this land.
 Again, let us look at the habits of
 the Eskimos themselves. They are
 not naturally adapted to life in the
 barren, frozen land. The food they
 eat gives them vile diseases. They
 nave practically no conception of how
 to prepare their food to make it
 either palatable or healthful. Their
 abodes have been of the very poor
 est until improved upon by more in-
 telligent people, who have come
 among them. Now a people coming either from Asia or some other coun- try would have advanced only as they were able to conform to conditions. They would have adapted them selves to existing climatic conditions. The Eskimos are primitive people or iginating in their country, when it
 was a tropical climate, and where

ROSPERITY
COUNTERFEIT PEACE OFFICERS.

Some of the cons abies OF country
townships in jefferson county need to
be cautioned against carelessness in
issuing commissions as deputy con-
tables. Reports reaching Pine Bluff
indicate that young men, whose only
reason for desiring to be deputy con-
stables is to have some semblancc OF
excuse for carrying a pistol AMI
illuminating negroes, have been made
deputies This is bad practice.
The law does not authorize an Of
ficer to 60 about armed except when
lie is n the discharge of his duty as
peace officer. And SO far as We
can learn, the maio ity of these
deputy constables seldom do any hing
to justify their classification as peace
officers.
The young buck who desires to be
deputized simply that he may carry
a pistol is the last one in the town
sll D the constable should so deslg-
nae, because it is probable he will be
among the first the constable will be
called upon to arrest--if the con-
stable enforces the laws.
Two of these counterfeit peace Of
ficers recently bull-dozed two negroes
who had procured two pints OF
whiskey for their own consumption.
This happened in a township NORM
of the river. Flour shlng their pis-
tolls, the deputies" seized the whiskey
ard told the negroes to "get." The
poor darkies, glad to escape alive,
hurried way. Later, they reported
the matter to their employer
No charges were filed aginst the
negroes whose whiskey was seized,
nor was the liquor turned over to any
court.

1t is not improbable that the grand
jury will inquire into this situation
when it re-convenes ON March 81.

THRIFT OF A NEW KIND.

Mary was good wife. William
was good husband. But William
was making considerably less than
John d. Rockefeller, so Mary often
had to worry along ON less fancy
furniture and fewer modern kitchen
appliances than she could use to en-
nance her home.
So Mary thought Of a new system
She wanted nice library table t.

table" in "the parlor," but felt sure
William wouldn't be able to spare
the money.
So she sad: "Eill, whenever you
come home with ~cupuers-cents-in
your pocket, hand them over to me
III put them i'll box and see what
they amount ito at the end of SIX or
seven months. Maybe therell be
enough to buy the library table, and
you won't miss the money that way
So Bill handed over whatever cents
accumulated in his pockets for eigh+
months. He never missed them, any
more than he missed the little "spend
ing money" he frittered away down.
town.
And now Mary has nice library
table.

J. H. BAILEY OUT
 OF JUDGES RACE ILL HEALTH OF WIFE FOR WITHDRAW AL OF FORMER CLERK AS
 CANDIDATE.

The latest development in county politics IS the announcement today by J. H. Bailey of Conway of his with drawal from the race for county and probate judge. MT. Bailey's action comes as quite a surprise to his friends, who felt that he had an ex- cellent chance to win the nomination, but he states that the condition of his wife's health will make it impos- sible for him to make vigirous campaign. Mrs. Bailey was stricken with paralysis some weeks ago, and while she has improved it has become cvident to MT. Bailey that her condi- tion is not such as would permit him to leave her and make a canvass of the county.
 In the opinion of many of his friends, MT. Bailey is peculiarly fitted for the position he sought, hav- ing had much experience in the building of roads and having also served as county clerk and county treasurer, and they will learn of his withdrawal with much regret. He wishes to thank all who had intended Ito support him and to assure them that he appreciates their support as much as if he had remained in the race and been the successful candi- date.
 MT. Bailey's withdrawal leaves two candidates in the race for the position, and it is hardly considered probable that anyone else will enter The next county judge will, in all probability, be either Elias L. Smith of Walker township or I. c. Williams of Conway, the only candidates now in the race.
 Whether the opposition which arose several days ago to the second-term Icandidacies of w. w. Bishop for sheriff and A. M. Ledbetter for cir cult clerk will develop into races for these positions, is still somewhat prob lematical. Since announcing that he would be candidate for sheriff, w. E. Clibourne has re-entered his work as state game warden, temporarily suspended by court action, and has made no further statement. J. M. Downing, who stated that he was considering the matter of entering the race for circuit clerk, has not yet made definite announcement, as is also the case with J. s. Johnson, for mer sheriff, who several days ago stated that he would probably get in the race for tax assessor.
