THE PRESS ON MIR. HENDRICKS.
How the News of the Vice Presidents Death
Was Received.

Chicago Inter Ocedn.-No public man was
more completely identified in every fiber Of his
nature with the party TO which no belonged
than Thomas A. Hendricks His private life
was honorable and conscientious, and it Is only
fair TO assume that this mergence OF himself in
his party was due TO the conviction that his
party was right in all its fundamental purposes,
II not absolutely perfect in detail OF action.
Net0 York World.-The death Of Vice-Presi-
dent Hendricks falls upon the country so unex-
pectedly and with such awful snddenness that
1t will be shock as well as n of deep grief
to the people. It leaves blank i'm the structure
OF the government, as well rs In the social circle
and by the domestic hearth.
Chicago Tfnes.-For many years, more than n
generation, Mr., Hendricks has been bright and
prominent In tho political consultations of the
American sky. Few there have been of the
stellar host whose light has been more steady,
enduring, than that rndiated from tho heights
on which he stood. Ho was an infuen-
tlal factor, than which there was none more
potent in his own State. At his death no had
no peer among his own particular people. He
was apparently less great from national stand.

THE MONARCHs DEATH.
The Queen Appointed Regent-POlitical
Future of Spain.

London dispatch
King Alfonso of Spain died at Madrid on the
morning Of Wednesday, Nov 25, of consumption,
accelerated by dysentery. Throughout Monday
night the King had spasmodic fits, the result OF
fever and debility Six doctors from
Madrid and two physicians Of Ell Parde
were in constant attendance upon him.
They decided ON Tuesday morning that
his Majesty was in n dangerous condition.
The he. fits -. continued throughout Tuesday, and
diction arrived before he expired. All officers
OF state and the Cabinet members, except the
Minister of War and the Minister Of the Interior,
We're present at the death-bed. The Cabinet
met immediately, and the Queen was appoint
ed Regent. In accordance with the law, the
members Of the Cabinet have rendered their
designations, but will remain in Office pending
the Regents pleasure.
Grave fears entertained Of n disturbance.
and orders have been given TO have the troops
confined in the barracks. 1t has been decided
to proclaim n state of siege at Madrid. A large
force OF military and police is being quartered
throughout the country as precaution against
n Carlist uprising.
Princess Mercedes, the five-yeAr-old daughter
OF Alfonso, will be Queen under the regency of
her mother, Christina. Senior Sagasta will form
new Cabinet.
Washington telegram.
The Spanish Legation on Massachusetts, ave-
nue. is draped in mourning on account Of the
death OF King Alfonso. Mr. Valera the Spanish
Minister speaking Of the probable effect Of tho
Kings death upon the political future of Spain,
said to-day:
Il see no reason why it should materially dis
turb the existing condition of things. 1t is
natural to suppose that the Queen will be ap-
pointed Regent until her eldest child now five
years old, shall reach her majority The King
had grown in popularity ever since his success
sion to the throne eleven years ago. At that
time the republican spirit was very strong
among n certain portion Of the Spanish people
and Alfonso had many bitter prejudices to over,
come. This he gradually did"

McRaes Victory.

Sufficient returns have been re- .cciyea from this district to show that Hon. T. C. NcRac has been ,clctcd by over 1000 majority over c. F. Mitchell, Independent. In another column we give as full an account of the vote as possible NIT. McRae has increased the Dem ocra,ic majority in the district very largely, which shows the pop ularity of the man, the faith ill his pure democracy by the people, and a full endorsement of the Demo cratic administration.
 The Democrats of the country, the State and the Third district particularly, are to be congratuIa ted, upon the grand showing made in Mir. McRae's election. The Democrats of Nevada county, the home of Mr. McRae, deserve the meade of praise, for the noble way they came up with geod Democratic majority, as she had been an opposition county for years past We are truly g.ad It cannot he said the nominee could not carry his own county or town shap.
 Cousin Elmoro' has been snow ed under by the biggest Democrat ic majority ever cast In the dls- trict, and this, too, when only q light vote was polled i'll the dis trict.
 1t new looks as if MT. McRae was the best and most popular man the Democrats could have put ont.
 The PICAYUNE has laborod zeal ously for mouths for Mir. McRae s nomination and election to Con cress. When Col, Jones was made Senator in February, we came out fer him, and now we are satisfied
 We confidently look forward to bright future for this rising, de serving and able young statesman. Nevada is proud of him, and we predict will be still moro so Tn the future.

Polk Boys Roast ,d Alive.

-ArkaDsas Gazette.
 Washington, Ark, Sept. 7.-News has been received from Murfreesboro. Pikec coun- ty, of a terrible affair enacted there Sunday night. It will be remembered that the no- torious Polk boys. who have thus far escap- ed the Eallows for murdering a German Pcdler were in jail. Two unsuccessful at tcmpts had already been made by mobs to give them the benefit. of lynch law only z short time ago.
 Late Sunday right another mob visited tiic jail, armed and determined to shoot the prisoners, who were locked up in the cage. But they could not gea within range, and dc- termnod noc to be foiled this time, they in- yohod destroying element not heretofore employcd.
 Carrying to the jail pile of seasoned wood from point near by, the mob piled the wood about the iron cell CT cage, satua- ted t with oil, and then set the pile ou fire. The flames burned rapidly, md soon thc smoke penetrating the interior became stiff. ling. h few moments the iron was neat cd, and when the horrid work ended, both prisoners bad been literally roasted alive. Only the bare uasightg brick walls of the jail were left standing.
 The Polk boys had iaHlm.d tho whole community b. their brutal murder of Ger man peddlcr. And they had sacccoded in de- feating je.doo by obtaining second trial. Two previous efforts to mob them having failcl the third resulted as above stated.
 Mir. Ward, the pedler, who was murdered and his body burned in a pile oflogs, by the "Polk boys" was an Irishman, and a brother to Daniel Ward of this city.
 Mr. John Kelly, one of Murfrees- horo's business men was in town Wednesday and says the burning of the Polk boys in the jail at that place Sunday night was done by a mob of about l50 well armed men. The bodies of the two Folks were almost crematcd. MT. K. said the screams and distress of the mother of the two men burned, when she came 10 the town Mon. day and learned their fate by sec ing the smoking jail, was very urpat.

REFORM continues to be the motto and watchword among the Democrats all over the country, and especially at Washington City. This fact of carrying cut their plat form. and the general belief ot the country that the party is the one of true Reform, causes the Repub- lieans to vince, and all their vol lies of misrepresentation and sian. der are leveled against the admin istration. Mismanagement and corruption have been unearthed all over the country, and publicly exposed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved the gov enment ny Democratic Admins. tration, and the good work of re- form o.ntindes.

The above gives the report from the official vote of eight counties. In addition to this. reliable reports have been received here, of tho vote of the following counties:- Clark, TOO majority for McRae; Howard, 800 majority for him; Scvier, 300 majority for him; Un- ion, GOO majority for him. These four counties, together with the official vote of the eight above, give the democratic nomiaeo 3,496 majority over the Independent candidate. From current report, Little River county it is believed also gave q democratic majority. ,- Assuming that the vote of Ashley, Calhoun, Dallas, Hot Spring. Pike and Polk counties have given in this election tho same democratic majorities they gave Col. Jones last iali, Hr. UcRae will carry the district by a little over 5000 ma jority.
 We do not think the final result will vary mach from the above fig ures.

History of Dog Days.

The ancient dog days were forty in number, and extended from August to September l4. They were so called by Egyptian as tromers for the reason that Sirus, the Dog Star, rose with the sun during that period, and uniting it's influence to that ofOld Sol, caused extreme heat and sickness. Mod ern dog days depend upon no such conditions, however, and it would be difficult to ascribe any reason for their particularization, except that it embraces the period of in tense heat during the season. In England dog days are supposed to last from the 3rd of July until the l2th of September; in America. from the 2Jth of July till the 9th 0. September. Exchange.
