Monday's Election.
The state and county election
passed off quietly here Monday,
only 92 votes being polled where
there should have been at least
200. The Democratic candidates
on the the state ticket received an
average vote of 80 to 9 on the
Republican ticket, while the Social
ist candidate for governor received
one vote. The Democratic candi
dates for county offices had no op
position and received a full vote.

amendments to be voted on as they
should and many voted for what
they believed and a number refused
to vote either way. The following

Christian Scientists Bother Unde Sam.
J. J. Kapsa, a gunner in the navy,
is a steadfast Christian Scientist.
When the orders came round that
all men in the navy must be vacci
nated with the anti-typhoid serum
he rebelled. He took the ground
that it was against the tenets of
his religion to submit to such an
operation and that under the con
stitution he could not be forced to
undergo such persecution, as he
considered it.
The rules of the navy, however,
allow of no exceptions ( unless of
course you “stand in" with some
one) and so the recalcitrant Kapsa
was court martialed for willful dis
obedience and was finally sent to
the "disciplinary barracks" at Port
Royal. S. C. He sought the help
of Senator Works of California.who
is also a Christian Scientist, but
though the senator put up seme
very good arguments and tried *o
have the rules suspended, he was
not successful. At last he advised
Kapsa to take the practical course
and not make a martyr of himself
any longer but to submit to the
vaccination. Kapsa has now done
this and been restored to duty.
The precedent is of some import
ance as the same question has
come up at a number of other
points in the government service.
Si hool Population.
There are no negroes of school
age in the counties of Clay. Baxter,
Cleburne, Marion and Polk. In
the counties, however, of Ashley,
Chicot. Crittenden, Desha. Drew.
Hempstead, Jefferson. Lee, Lafay
ette. Lincoln, Monroe, Ouachita,
St. Francis, Phillips and Woodruff,
the negro children outnumber the
whites. The greatest difference
is in Chicot county, where there
are 8 467’ colored and 1366 white. !
In Desha county there are 4.4£5 \
colored and 933 white, and in Je -
ferson there are 1 5,51 8 colored to ;
4.960 white.
The statistics for the whole state j
are: White males 218,700. fn- |
males 209.023. total 427,723:!
colored males 87.289, females j
88.214. total 175,503; aggregate
603.226.
There are 5143 school districts
in the state, and only 20 failed to j
report.
Preventing Pain After Operations.
It quite often happens in the:
case of a surgical operation that
"while the operation was success
ful. the subject died of the shock." j
There is nothing astonishing about
this either. It is the secondary
rather than the primary pain and ;
bodily disturbance that causes the '
main trouble. Anesthetics could I
be applied locally which would
prevent the pain of the operation
being felt, but there was no way to
head off the pain of healing.
Nov/ Dr. Forbes Ross, a Lond )n
physician, tells the world of a m w
way of handling surgical cases so
as to rid of this post-operation p in
also. The procedure, he says, is
so simple as to put it within tne j
reach of all. The anesthetic used j
is a solution of quinine and ui eaj
hydroch'orid. This is injected into
the body in the region where the |
operation is to be performed, and
the effect of it is to produce in
sensiDility of the part for from one
to six days. This gives time for
the crisis to be passed. Dr. R< ss
says that the healing is even me re
rapid than ordinarily, because of
absence of the pain, which natural
ly aggravates a case. The n 3w
discovery is being widely heralded
as a great forward step in surgi cal j
science.
Fishing With a Trolley-Wire.
The sale of large quantities of i
fish by dealers and peddlers in La- j
fayette, Ind., says the Electrical
World, recently attracted the at
tention of the fish and game ward- j
en of Tippecanoe county, who.
after investigation, assured himself
that no seines or nets were in use
in his district. Setting about to
ascertain the source of the unusual
supply of fish, he discovered two;
men near an interurban railv/ay j
bridge, one of whom from time to ;
time indulged in the extraordinary I
practice of striking his fishing pale
against the trolley wire, after which j
the other would gather in a b <at'
load of the dead and stunned fish :
which floated to the surface. In-j
vestigation showed that an insu
lated wire ran down the fish pole
and dipped into the water under
the bridge. The 500-volt cont ict
with the trolley served to electro
cute all fish near the wire, kill ng
them outright, it is declared, in
stead of stunning them as in the
case of dynamiting.

Smaller Si/rd Paper Money Planned.
!f Secretary of the Treasury Me- |
Veagh has his way th» government
will adopt a new policy, in cutting
down the size of the paper curren
cy. Now our bills measure 7 28
by 3.04 inches and the new siz'
suggested is 6 by 2 '2 inches. It i'
also proposed in connection with
this improvement to adopt uniform
designs, instead of having so many I
different ones. Thus would make 1
a great saving in engraved plates
and would be an advantage to the!
public. The distinguishing por
traits would probably be as follows:
$] note, Washington: $2, Jeffer
son; $5. Lincoln: $10. Cleveland:
$20. Jackson: $50. Grant: $100.
Franklin: $500. Chase, and $ 1.000.
Hamilton.
It is believed that there would
be a total savmg of about $1.000.
000 a year by making these1
changes though it would cost
about that much on the start to
make trie new plates and prepare
for the new sizes of bills. The
people will probably not complain,!
if the purchasing power of the bills;
is not cut down at the same time '
as their size: the smaller sized bills
would be more handy than the
present blanket sheets.
Advam ‘•rnenl in Wirrlrss.
Optimistic workers in wireless
telegraphy are of the opinion that
the Atlantic cable may soon have
outlived its usefulness. Experi
ments are constantly being carried '
on with the end in view of sending
wireless messages across the1
ocean. A new system has been
devised which aims to control con- j
tinuous waves, and by which mes- j
sages wilt, if the prospectus is not
mendacious, be transmitted from
continent to continent at the rate
of 200 words a minute.
The first stations are to be
erected at Washington and at
Lyons. France. With the stations
in operation the eager scientists in
France and America will strive to j
come into communication. The
great interest of the virgils of the
men at the keyboards may be
imaginged. and importance of the
first message to be transmitted can
scarcely be overestimated. A
F.urpoean telegraph company will,
it is reported, supply the capital for
this stupendous experiment.
If these experiments are suc
cessful the telegragh business of
the world will be revolutionized.
For telegraphing on land the wire
will probably continue in use. as
they avoid confusion and assure
privacy. But for telegraphing
from continent to continent it
seems certain that the wireless
once it is proved practical, will
supersede the ccble in a large
measure. Moreover, it will bring
widely separated parts of the earth
into closer contact than would be
possible with wires. It will greatly
facilitate railroad building in wild
and remote places. It will bring
other changes that no one today
can even dream of. Already wire
less telegraphy is the greatest
scientific accomplishment of the
century, and the end of its story is
net nearly at hand. Cleveland

Spectacular Pyrotrchnccs at Stair lair.
The Arkansas State Fair man
agement offers to the people of
the state each year some particu
larly spectacular exhibitions which
constitutes one of the big attrac
tions.
Experience in the past has prov
en that nothing attracts the public
attention like the day and night
fireworks which have been the
features of several fairs in the past.
This year the management has
contracted with the Pain Fire
works Co., for one of the greatest
pyrotechnic spectacles ever wit
nessed. “The Last Days of Pom
peii," a reproduction of the de
struction of this historic city.vididly
shown in a daily spectacle and on a
grander scale than this event has
ever been attemped before.
