out into the cool night air. A wild, windy night,
clouds chasing each other over the moon whose

now resides the official who to this day bears the

But the silence, pregnant with such memories,
is suddenly broken by the clash of arms, the
tramp of feet and the hoarse cry of military COM

soldiers drawn up, and beneath the Bloody Tower
comes the guard, preceded by warden bearing
the keys. "Halt 70 cries the officer in command

response. "Whose keys?" "Queen VIctoria's

all the soldiers.

taken place. II Is now. Thoughtfully

Resolved To Please.


The author of 1.-THE Five Talents of Woman"
says that very often husband ID more difficult to
manage than children, but the wife, who keeps her
temper and perseveres in her efforts to please, will
in the end conquer by kindness. He tells the
following story TO confirm his assertion: Zachariah
was not naturally an i'll tempered man, but he
treated his wife more like slave than an equal.
II his temper was rufiied abroad, she was sure to
suffer when he came home. His meals he insisted
were badly cooked, though the good woman did
her best to please him.
One day Zacharah sent home a large fresh cod
with orders to cook II for dinner. The wife knew
that whether she boiled II, fried 1t, made It
into q chowder, her husband would scold her when
he came home. She, therefore, cooked portions of
the fish In several different ways, that for once if
possible. he might be pleased with his dinner She
did more, she secured q frog, from the brook back
of the house, and put it into q large dish.
At noon Zachariah came home, with his usual
fault finding look. "We, wife" said he, show did
you cook the fish? suppose you've spoi ed IL for
my eating" When as he took of cover, he con-
tinued: 81 thought so. Why did you try it2 I'd
as soon eat fried frog! Why didn't you boil it?"
"Ihave boiled some also" said she lifting a cover
and showing the shoulders of the cod nicely
boiled.
"Boiled fish! chips and porridge," growled
Zachariah. "If you had not been stupid you
would have made q chowder."
With q smile, she placed before him tureen of
chowder. any DEAR" said she, al was determined

"Favorite dish, indeed I" growled the surly man.
"It's wishy- washy mess. I'd rather have q boiled
frog than the whole of it."
His wife had anticipated his favorite expression
She uncovered large dish and showed ball frog,
stretched out at full length.
Zachariah sprang from his chair.
my DEAR" said his wife, IL hope now you will
make an excellent dinner"
The humor of the whole scene overcame his
sullenness: he burst into hearty laugh and de-

The Breckenridge District.

St. Louis RepuDllc: Inc prose-
cutions IN the FederalCourt at Little
Rock have been managed by the Re
publican State Committee under In
structions from the chairman of the
Republican National committee to
use the machinery Of the court with
special view to the proposed unseat-
ing of Hon. Clifton r. Breckenridge of
the Second Arkansas Congressional
District. The prosecution bias been
vigorouly pushed with this end in
view, and it is, for this end, de-
monstrated failure. The charges
made have not been sustained by the
evidence, though hundreds of negro
witnesses were summoned at ven
ture. In fact Mr. Breckenridge has
gained rather than lost by this use
of the Federal Court, for the evidence
that negro foaters were voted in
Jefferson County was too plain to be
ignored. In his reply to Clayton,
Mr. Breckenridge called attention to
some 10 votes illegally cast for the
Democratic ticket at Pine Bluff, bat
the combination in charge of the
courts machinery seems to have been
ashamed to use the information. In
the Woodruff County cases, where
lao negroes were summoned at q cost
of nearly $4,000, Mr. Clayton re.
quested Judge Rose, who represent
ed the defense, to make no objection
to opening the ballot box, and as no
objection was made it was opened in
spite of the law prohibiting the open
ing "except in case Of contested cleo
tlons." In spite of this, the combln-
alton has not been able to find in
the district a single act affecting the
election except the conceded, unde-
Tended and indefensible fact of the
theft of the ballot box at Morrilton.
The young men charged with this at
once surrendered themselves, and

THAT was most inexcusable and
indefensible occurrence at Forrest
City last Saturday IN which several
citizens lost their lives and quiet
community was plunged into deep
est gloom. Every good citizen will
most sincerely deplore the terrible
affair and hope its recurrence will
never be recorded. 1t should serve
as a a warning to every community
where factious quarrels exist to quit
such foollshness and come out on a
higher and better plane. And it
ought to serve as a notice to political
adventures of whatever race, condi-
ton or politics, to cease the delivery
of those fiery harangues which serve
to arouse the passions and jealousles
of the worst elements of society, and
pave the way for such outbreaks as
was witnessed at Forrest City Sat
urday. And particularly should the
turbulent, incendiary orator who
seeks to preclpitate race conflicts be
silenced instanter. He begets troub-
lie and lots of it.

The Forrest City Riot.

For long time A. M. Medley and
G. w. Ingram, two leaders of the
colored population of Forrest City,
ST. Francis county, have been very
arrogant and offensive in their course
toward the whites and the law and
order portion of the community, and
their incendiary talk and actions had
so wrought the people up to the
highest pitch of excitement that it
only needed the slightest provoca
ton to cause their pent up feelings
to break forth in open resentment.
The trouble began three years ago
in a political contest between the
straight democrats and an independ-
ent movement In which there was a
considerable number of negro voters.
The III feeling thus engendered fl
nally eliminated in riot and blood
shed at a school meeting last Satur-
day.
1t seems that the colored leaders
referred to had asserted that 1t was
their intention to GUST certain white
democrats from the board of school
directors and secure control of the
school affairs in that district and for
several weeks they have labored with
this end in view. Last Saturday af-
ternoon a large crowd of excited peo-
pie were gathered at the polling
place where the election for school
directors was being held, and Nicely
became involved in a quarrel with q
white man and was knocked down.
He sprang to his feet and ran to Cir
cult Clerk Parham for protection.
The town marshal, Frank FolDre,
went TO arrest Medley when he got
into an excited alteration with
Capt. Parham. Tom Parham, who
was deputy clerk and at work in the
clerks office near by heard the loud
talking and thought his father was
about to get into serious trouble.
He ran quickly down stairs to the
street and without investigating mat
tiers fired at Folbre, the ball entering
the back Of his head inhicting fatal
wound. Before he fell Folbre fired
two shots, one of which pierced his
antagonist and be too fell mortahy
wounded. The sheriff, ID. NJ. Wilson
came hurrledly upon the scene to
command the peace and just as he
turned a corner bullet from some
ones pistol entered his left breast
killing him instantly. 1t is claimed
by some that young Parham killed
the sheriff, others claim that Folbre
killed him and still others assert
that the negro Nicely fired the fatal
shot. In the melee Capt, Parham
and Nicely were also wounded. Nee.
ly was shot through the shoulder but
il is not known the extent of Par
hams wounds.
Nicely took refuge in an old build
ing where surrounded by his friends
he refused to surrender Sunday
morning an officers posse surround
ed the building and captured Nicely

NOTES.

Gov. Eagle has appointed v. B
lizard to act as sheriff until a special
election can be held.
The following is brief history Of
the principal actors in the tragedy.
Capt. John Parham for years was
a democrat of the strictest school,
but about year ago severed his
connection with the party for some
reason and united with the union la
Dor party and succeeded in carrying
his county for that ticket.
Tom Parham was young man
and a democrat. He regretted the
political course Of his father, but was
ever ready to defend HIM in all per-
sonal encounters.
d. NJ. Wilson, the sheriff, until
last year had been q pronounced
democrat, having been elected sher-
if two terms as such, but in the con-
test of last year he acted with and
was elected by the union labor party
with the aid of the merge and repub-
lican vote.
Frank Folbre, the town marshal,
was a young man and always dem
ocrat. He was brave and fearless.
The negro Nicely was republican
Of the most turbulent character, al
ways stirring up strife between the
races.
Prof. j. w. Stuart about twelve
years ago was elected principal of
the schools at Forrest City He is
an educator of acknowledged ability,
but for some reason acquired the bit
ter enmity of portion of the com
munlty, which feeling spread and
grew in intensity until the entire
population was dlvived into the
Stuart and anti-StuaTt factions.
Each year the matter was made an
issue in the election of school dlrec
tors, and the factions got farther and
farther apart, until the breach had so
widened that there was no hope of
closing it. Two or three weeks ago
Prof Stuart announced that under
no circumstances would he be an ap-
plicant for the principalship. He
did this solely in the interest of har-
mony with the sincere hope that the
dissension would be dispelled. As
there were to be four directors elect
ed, two for the full term and two to
fill vacancies, the Stuart faction,
composed of the best element of the
place, proposed to the other faction
to make up compromise ticket, two
from each side, but to this it seems
the anti. Stuart people, the majority
Of whom were negroes under the
leadership Of Nicely, would not agree
This action OF the anti Stuart faction
seemingly conveyed the impression
that they wished to elect the entire
number of directors to be voted for
and that impression was emphasized
by the incendlary Nicely, who pub
licly proclaimed that the negroes
would GUST the whites from the board
and control the school affairs of the
district.
The foregoing facts are CLEANED
from the accounts published In the
Little Rock Gazette, Fl. Smith Time:
and the st. Louis Republic.
The Russellville Democrat. [volume] (Russellville, Ark.) 1875-1898, 1889-05-23

The difference in the methods OF
the federal courts in Arkansas and
Indiana is thus aptly delineated by
the ST. Louis Republic:
The federal courts appear to have
experienced little difficulty in ferret
ing out and punlshiDg the compar-
atiyelY unimportant election frauds
in Arkansas. The punishment of
the UNNECESSARILY more fragrant and
outrageous election frauds in Indi-
ana was deliberately prevented by
the instructions of federal Judge,
acted upon by federal district attor-
ney, who had been appointed under
circumstances that served as a plain
notice upon him that the prosecution
of the Blocks of Five frauds was not
TO be pushed.

that is eatarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to

constitutional disease, requires a
