SENATOR BERRY WILL RUN
Will Measure Strength With Gov.
Davis for United States Sena
torship at Polls in 1906.
The Arkansas Gazette of .Satur
day says: “While in the city yes
terday Senator James II. Berry
stated positively that he will be a
candidate for another term, which
means that he will measure
strength with Gov. Davis, who is
an avowed candidate for the sena
torship, to succeed Senator Berry
in March 1900. For some time
there has been an element of doubt
•concerning the intentions of the
senator, and it lias been stated that
if he did not enter the race there
would be others who would become
candidates against (Governor Davis.
Much interest lias attached to the
senator's probable course in the
matter, and the announcement
made by him yesterday of his in
tention to ask another term will
be read throughout the state as an
important political item.
tin iiiijii uiiuuau*u
that tin* senator might conclude
not to run is not generally known.
Jt was supposed by many that the
plurality plan adopted by the state
convention at Hot Springs in June
would have the effect of throwing
a damper on all senatorial candi
dacies save that of Gov. Davis.
When asked about the matter,Sen
ator Berry's friends scout the idea
that his candidacy could be thus
affected.
Little more than a year and a
1mlf will intervene before the last
Wednesday in March, 15H)6, when
the senatorial light will be settled
in the primary elections. If cust
om is followed, the formal open
ing of the campaign will not be
-delayed longer than next summer.
At this time the opinion prevails
in political circles that Berry and
Davis will be the only entries in
the vote-getting contest.
ASSASSINATION PROBED.
Texarkana, Sept. 6. The coro
ner has completed his inquest in
the case of Henry Bates, the ne
gro farmer who was shot to death
in his bed three miles north of
liere last Thursday night. The
verdict is to tie* effect that deceas
ed cfme to his death at the* hands
of Levi Johnson and Ellis and
Ilense Warren, all negroes, and
they were all held for the grand
jury without bail. Johnson made
a confession, at first secretly to
the coroner, and subsequently re
peated it in the presence of the
other accused negroes, to the ef
fect that the three entered into a
conspiracy to kill Bates, and that
all three were present at the kill
ing. Ellis Warren is named as
the one who fired the fatal shot.
Both the Warren negroes stoutly
denied the story and protested
their innocense.
PAYING FOR STATE CAPITOL.
Caldwell & Drake, state capitol
contractors, yesterday drew a war
rant in the state treasury for $10,
580.39 on their contract. There
has now been paid out on account
of the new capitol a total of $231,
140.03, and there remains in the
treasury about $250,000. I nder
the present law the capitol fund
accumulates at the rate of about
$105,000 a year. It is probable
that the next session of the legisla
ture will adopt sonic measure by
which this can be expedited, in or
der to push the work to an earlier
completion. Arkansas Democrat.

COMMON SENSE ADVICE.
Here is some common sense ad
vice given by a Missouri editor to
the girls of his town: Don't hang
around the depot unless you are
going away or there to meet a
friend. Don’t go to the postoffice
and shove about in a miscellaneous
crowd. Don’t go to church and
sit in the back part with an es
cort and whisper and giggle
throughout the sermon. 1 )on’t be
loud, boisterous and slangy; stand
on your dignity and don't form
acquaintances quickly. Don’t car
ry your heart on your sleeve and
don’t throw yourself into the arms
of every good looking drummer
or well dressed stranger who comes
to town. Be womanly, be modest,
he thoughtful and serious at times
Don't unsex yourself and thus lose
woman’s sweetest charm. Don’t
regard your long-legged brother
as a nuisance, don't turn up your
nose at your old-fashioned father
and his grammar, and don't nhv a
Hot lime on the piano while
your old mother is having a still
hotter time at the wash tub with
your dirty clothes.
