GEN. ADLAI E. STEVENSON.

Vice-President Adlal l.. Stevenson
was rendered a grand ovation in the
hospltable city of Memphis, Tenn, on
Wednesday, on his arrival in that COM
munity, en-route to Little Rock, in
this state, on private business.
He was met at the depot by large
delegation of prominent citizens OF
Memphis, headed by w. A. Collier
and G. G. Mathews, of the Appeal
Avalanche, who had received pri-
vate telegram announcing his coming
only an hour before he arrived. Mr..
Stevenson was Immediately escorted
to the Appeal-Avalanche building,
where an informal reception was held
and where large crowd and plenty
of champagne provided by the Appeal
Avalanche awaited him. AT the re-
ception Mathews presided and gave
him a most cordial welcome in an elo-
quent address. He was followed by
W. A. Collier, who was delegate to
the Chicago convention and an active
supporter OF Cleveland and Stevenson,
and who was also member of the no.
tification committee and chairman of
the subcommittee that prepared the
formal addresses to the President and
Vice President in New York last
July. Many of Memphis most distin-
guished townsmen were present at
the reception. Mr.. Stevenson was a
guest Of Napoleon Hill while in the
city.
His arrival in the Capital City of
Arkansas yesterday was the signal
for an equally royal welcome and
hearty greeting from Arkansas citi-
zens to their distinguished guest.
Gen. Stevenson, on receiving a cordial
invitation from the Judicial canven-
ton, addressed that body at 2 o'clock,
and at O'Clock held an informal re-
ception at the elegant home of Col.
Ratcliffe, where large number of
delegates to the convention, and citi-
zens generally, met and shook hands
with our distinguished visitor.

g. B. Farmer Dead.

The sad intelligence has reached us
of the death of Mr.. G. b. Farmer,
editor Of Populist paper at
Conway, who fell from tres
tie in Fort Smith on Wednesday
night Of this week while in that city
in attendance upon the Arkansas
Press Association. The unfortunate
man sustained compound fracture of
the skull, from which he suffered in
great agony until death came to his
relief at 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
Death came gently and he passed
away without struggle. A number
of friends were at his bedside, and
since the sad accident he has had ev-
cry care which medical science and
loving hands could bestow. His
death has cast a shadow over the com
munity.

SENATOR STANFORD DEAD.
Sudden Termination of Long and
Eventful Public and Private Career.


AT his palatial home in Palo Alto,
Cal, shortly after II o'clock Wednes-
day morning, United States Senator
Leland p. Stanford quietly departed
this life. He was apparently as well
as usual and appeared in the best OF
spirits on the day preceding bis death,
indulging himself in the pleasure so
rarely permitted him for months past,
by reason of his delicate health, of a
drive over the broad acres of his beau
tiful stock farm. On returning from
from the drive he expressed himself
as feeling more than usually well aud
retired without any evidence of a
change in his feelings promptly at 10
O'Clock. About midnight the valet,
going into his masters bedroom, dis
covered that he was dead.
II has been evident for some time
that Senator Stanford's demise was a
question of but a short time. His
sympthms were appoplectic and his
weight was increasing alarmingly
There was 4 Fitness about his limbs
that made locomotion an exceedingly
difficult task. His body was fast be-
coming too heavy for his limbs to
support. He could take only the
slightest exercise.
DR.. Curtis of San Francisco pre-
scribed heroic treatment, but the Sen
ator was not ready to undergo drastic
methods for the reduction of flesh and
the restoration of his waning
strength. This appoplectic symptom
increased and his situation became
such as to cause serious alarm. About
six weeks ago it was found necessary
to impose severely plain diet upon the
Senator, and since that time his sole
food has consisted Of fried hashed
meal with hot water as the only liquid
accompaniment. The Senator adhered
to the severe requirements of physi-
clans, and it seemed for a while that
its results were beneficial and might
possibly effect permanent cure. The
Senator expressed himself as much
encouraged and looked forward hope
fully to the time when he could de-
vote himself with renewed energy to
public affairs and to the completion OF
certain educational and other enter
prises that were very near to his
heart, but his strength was not sufli-
GENTLY strong to respond to the de-
mands upon 1t. Its fundamental
weakness suddenly manifested itsell
and he passed quietly away.

KNOWLEDGE

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

WINsToN's REPLY.

In yesterdays issue of the DEMO
GRAFT we published an account Of the
discharge of a number Of prominent
officials from government service be-
cause of an alleged conspiracy for the
importation of Chinese emigrants and
the smuggling of opium across the
northwestern boundary Of the United
States-- Among the officials SO dis
charged, for alleged completely in the
conspiracy, was Patrick Winston, Esq,
late United States district attorney for
the state of Washington, who, indig-
nant at what he declares to be a per-
sonal SANDER, has published the fol-
lowing card of denial and denuncia-
ton in the New York Tribune:
10 the editor of the Tribune; Sir
"A dispatch sent from Washington
city and purporting to emanate from
the Office of the secretary of the treas
ury, and to have been inspired by that
official, appears in this evenings pa
per; charging in substance that the re-
cent removals of Federal officials in
the district of Washington, including
my own Office as United States attor-
ney, were occasioned by the discovery
that many officials had formed the
most extensive and successful con-
spiracy ever formed to smuggle Chin
csc and opium into the United States.
So far as this dispatch concerns me it
may be necessary in this era of parti-
san politics to say to those who do
not know me that whoever inspired it
is common liar. / have already
stated in an official communication to
the President under the date of May
30th the cause Of my removal, | in
vite him or any one authorized by
him to give different reason.

That Terrible Scourge,

Fever and ague, and its congener
bilious remittent, besides affections of
the stomach, liver and bowels, pro.
duced by miasmatic air and water, are
both eradicated and prevented by the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
purely vegetable clixer, indorsed by
physicians, and more extensively used
as a remedy for the above class of dis
orders, as well as for many others
than any medicine of the age. A Ian
guild circulation, torpid state of the
liver, want of vital stamina, are con-
ditions peculiarly favorable to malariaI
diseases. They are, however, surely
remedied by the great preventive
which, by invigorating the system and
endowing it with regularity as well as
vigor, provides it with resisting
power, which enables 1t to withstand
disorders, not only of malarial type
but host of others to which feeble
and i'll regulated systems are subject
The bitters are safe as well as
searching eradicant, and have widely
superseded that dangerous drug, qui
nine, which palliates but does moi
eradicate malaria.

The case of j. IL. Draughon VS.. In
surance Company of North America
was decided in the Miller Circuit
court this morning in favor of plain
tiff. The jury returned a verdict CIV
ing judgement for plaintiff in the sum
of $4, 700, less 5000 salvage and allow
ing 35 per cent damage on $4,000
worth Of goods, instead of 40 per
cent, as asked by plaintiff The suit
grew out of the failure of the insur-
ance companies to satisfactorily adjust
the loss occasioned to Mr.. Draughon
by the fire which partially destroyed
the stock of goods owned by him, in
what IS known as the Gallagher store.
We regret that unpleasant personal
feeling has been engendered during
the trial of the case. Such things
should be avoided in the courts of the
country above all other places.
Rev. Sam Jones, the famous Georgia
evangelist, is engaged just now in
turning sinners from the error of their
way in the city of Jackson, Tenn. His
series of sermons at that place are
said to have been powerful ones and
much good is expected to result. In
the course of one of his sermons he
said that in the past year there had
been more sudden deaths than in the
history of the world. The gospel had
also been preached more widely. His
sermon was an exhortation to sinners
not to wait and harden their hearts,
lest they be cut off. We trust that
the proposition recently entertained of
inducing the evangelist to visit this
city will be kept alive until every nee
essary arrangement has been per-
fected.
