In the state election last Mon.
day, Arkansas went democratic
by an increased majority, proba-
bly 25.000
It is said that the rooting of
the new state capitol, which is of
copper is defective. The con-
tractora claim that the work was
done according to the contract
bat that galvanized iron would
have been better.

Seventeen Outlaws Shot Dowh.
News from Paladors, in the
public land strip, says that tbo
farmers and herdsmen of that
section who had lost many horses
and cattle recently, suspeoted a
band of campers who claimed to
be catching wild horses, and find-
ing evidence of guilt, forty well
armed vigilante surrounded the
camp and sent in a committee of
six to demand the surrender of
the horses. The reply of the des-
peradoes was a volley, which
wounded one man and three
horses. Thisangered the vigilant
aud firing was at once begun.
The outlaws wore shot down
without mercy. They fought
desperately. No quarter was
asked or given. In twelve min-
ntes the tiring ceased and seven-
teen outlaws were found to have
been killed. The jigilant had
three men killed and nine wound-
ed. Two horses also killed and
seven wonnded. Sixteen stolen
horses were recovered. Not one
outlaw escaped alive.
Dmp Water.
The deep water convention at
Denver, Colorado, adjourned last
Friday the 31st. The sentement
of the convention, with perhaps
the majority of those from
Texas, was that no particular port
be recommended but that matter
be left to the government.
An earnest appeal was made to
congress for an appropriation
sufficent to “secure a deep water
port on the northwest coast of
the Gulf of Mexico west of nine-
ty-three and a half degrees west
. longitude, capable of admitting
the largest vessels and at whioh
the best and most accessible har-
bor can be secured and maintain*
ed in the shortest possible time
and at the least cost.”
The matter is to bo placed be-
fore the President with request
that he make such rcccommenda-
tions to congress as he may deem
expedient.
The entire delegation to con-
. gross from the territory interest-
ed are urged to do all in their
power to'secure the desired re-
sult. Nearly uvery state between
thcMissihsippi river and the Pacif-
ic slope won represented, and the
enthusiasm manifested showed
the determination to have con-
venent deep water.
From The Denver Republican.
Texas brought her heat with
her.
Goveuor Gibbs is demo strati ve
when enthused.
The diginity of the convention
was somewhat shattered.
Colorado had the slim man aud
Kansas the little’ man.
California is deeply interested
in dee]> water on the Gulf.
Deep water at Galveston is bet-
ter than deep water at New York.
Dakota wheat, it is said, will be
worth 10 cents more per bushel
when deep water is secured.
The high altitude and so much
Citizen.
The cotton plant was king
when only cotton could be gath-
ered from it. Then came the dis-
oovery that the seed was of
great valne for oil, and also for
meal to be fed to stock. But this
does not end the list of avail,
able uses to which may he put
this single plant. In the office of
the Clerk of the Superior Court,
at Atlanta, there have been for
weeks on exhibition samples of
patfer pulp made of the hulls and
stalks of the cotton plant. The
pulp is as white as suow, and can
be converted into the finest wri*
ting paper. This pats to use the
only parts of the cotton plant up
to this time considered valueless.
Instead of being $4 a ton for fuel
or for fertilizer, this material be-
comes worth $40 a ton. Under
the very fiugers of the shiftless
man rots that wealth whioh enter-
prise devises the means to ex-
tract and apply. Millions wait
for ns in’ tho most unpromising
materials.—Ex.

A great many of the farmers of

have alre%dy learned by exper-
ience that in order to succeed,
and to really be tbe independent
people they might be, aud which
their calling naturally makes
