FROM ARKANSAS.

CHICAGO, November II. = Prof.
Shinn received from the Bureau OF
Awards forty gold colored cards
signed by John Boyd Thatcher, each
of which bears the legend, "this ex
hibit awarded" These cards are for
the awards in liberal arts, and evil
dence to the holder his right to a
medal and diploma. Mr.. Shinn will
forward one to each of the forty win
ners in his department to be display
ed until the medal is issued, which in
all probability will not be before next
May. The entire Arkansas exhibit
was today packed in baggage car
for shipment. This leaves everybody
free except Mr.. Shinn, who is in the
tolls of the custom houee trying to
free gift from Germany to the Ed
ucational Department.
Red tape overtowers everything.
1t is the prayer of every Arkanssan
that he may get out of Chicago by
Saturday night. All are broken
down.
This is about the last echo from
Arkansas at the Worlds Fair so far,
as the public press is concerned. But
the achievements of the State and her
people at the great American EXPOSE
ton will live in the minds and memo
ries Of the public many years hence
and continue long to rebound to the
honor and credit of those who labor
ed so zealously in the cause.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
Bill Lemons Is no Other than Tom
Brady,a Farmer of Benton County.

Aauy,a FARMER OF Benton County.
After SO long time the actual iden-
tity OF the men who robbed the Iron
Mountain passenger train and mur-
dered its conductor, w. p. McNally,
at the little town of Oliphant, in the
northern portion of this state, has
been discovered and disclosed. as the
following special dispatch to the Ar
kansas Gazette will show:
HIcA, ARK, Nov. 15.-This little
town in the western section of Benton
countyone mile from Sloan Springs,
has been thrown into fever of ex-
cltement over the report that the train
robbery committed at Oliphant on the
Iron Mountain road recently, was
done by men living in this immediate
vicinity, all of whom are well known,
having lived here the greater portion
OF their lives. At first no credit was
given the report, but recent events
prove beyond doubt that five of the
bandits were from near this place and
one from the Indian Territory, just
six miles from the Arkansas line.
Three of them have always borne a
good reputation and were farmers OF
moderate means. The three others,
one of whom is under arrest, bear an
unsavory reputation.
About three weeks ago this gang
left their homes telling their friends
and families they were going to the
Indian Territorg to hunt up u saw
mill site and would be gone about
two weeks. On their way they stop
ped at Sloan Springs and purchased
saddles, Blankets ETC., also borrowed
winchesters from their friends. About
the time they were expected to return
home the robbery was committed.
1t was there that some suspicion was
aroused. Immediately following this
came the news that the horses of the
gang were captured and the descrip-
ton sent here which tailed exactly
with the horses rode by these men
When they left for the territory. Still
the people were 10th to believe that
these men were concerned in the hold
up. Recent developments, however,
proved convuIsively that they are the
guilty parties and their capture only a
matter of few days.
AS it is an assured fact that the
fugitiyes will, sooner or later, make
their way back to their old "stanp-
ing ground" the country i'll
and around their home places is being
well guarded by numerous officers,
who are eagerly awaiting their com
ing. Should the looked for guests
put in an appearance. as expected,
they may depend upon a warm wei
come. Iudeed it will be memorable

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
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 a 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.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

The Musical Barbers.

The Alveraz Family, known Europe
over as the Musical BARRIERS of Seville,
have been engaged by the Al. G.. Field
Columbian Minstrels for the season of
1894. The performances of these
people are said to be entirely different
from anything in the musical line ey-
or seen by the American public The
stage is set to represent the interior
of handsomely furnished barber
shop. Solos, concert musical selec-
tions, including classical and popular
airs, are played upon the razors, shay
ing cups, bowls, etc.
The barber chairs are so construct
ed that the music produced from them
is similar to that Of large church
Pipe organ. Tempting offers have
been made these people by numerous
American managers heretofore, but
Mr.. Field VIII have the honor Of in
Producing them to the American pub
lie II the half that is claimed for
them is true they will certainly be a
powerful magnet for the AL. G. Field
Columbian Minstrels, which appears

TERRIBLE REVENGE.

One of the most horrible tradgies
ever yet recorded, in the ensanguined
history Of the famous "Black Hills"
country, occurred at noon yesterday,
in Saw Pit Gulch, S. d., two miles
east of Deadwood. The narrowing
details of the tragedy in the telegraph
ic reports of the awful affair is as fol-
lows;
JoOeph Tha, an Italian, was married
a year ago to cousin of Jacco Ia
meta. A few months after his wife
left him and made her home at her
cousins. Tha, after her repeated re-
fusal to return to him and her failure
to refund the money he had sent her
to come from Italy, made several eff
forts to blow up Tametta's house.
Today at noon he went to Tamettas
under the influence of liquor and
shortly after shots were heard by the
neighbors. Nothing was thought OF
it however, until several hours later,
a peddler raped at the door and
getting no reply but hearing groans
within, entered. Lying around the
room in horrible confusion, broken
and scattered funilurc, lay Mrs. Tha,
shot through the mouth, Tametta,
with bullet through his breast, and
Mrs. Tametta, with frightful cash in
her forehead inflicted with an axe, all
still in death. In the woodshed Tha
lay gasping for breath with bullet
through his head. In the midst of
all this bloody horror Mrs. Tametta's
two children, 1 and 8 years old, were
playing. Tha lived only a few hours
and the others were doubtlessly killed
instantly.

the entire membership.

schedule and finally passed upon by
the entire membership.
Upon the vexed questions concern
ing which the subcommittee have
been unable to arrive at a definite con-
clusion the principal discussion OF
the members will be first directed
Among the most important of those
problems are the question of revenue
schedules and contemplated additions
to the free list There is a difference
of opinion among Democratic mem
bers over adding iron ore, coal and
salt to the free list, and the discussion
will be sharp as to the wisdom of such
action. Free wool, free lumber and
free cotton bagglng seem to be assur-
ed, though there is eyed some discus
sion ON these points. The Alabama
members are up in arms against put
ting coal and iron ore on the list, and
still demand that appeals to commit
tee be heard. The internal revenue
schedules will not be so radically re-
vised as at one time supposed The
proposition of Hon. David A. Wells
to double the tax on beer is hotly OPP
posed by the brewers and does not
seem to be very fayorably received by
the committee, the brewers insisting
that if aay changes are to be made
that an increase be levied on Whlskey,
and this seems to be the most likely
policy of the committee at this time.
The suggestion to increrse sixty cents
per gallon on the whiskey tax comes
somewhat as surprise, as until re-
Gently the highest increase generally
discussed only added thirty-fve cents
per gallon to the present tax. The
practical abandonment of the propo-
sition to increase the tax on tobacco
leaves but little choice, if any. Mate
rial increase in revenues is to be de-
rived from an income tax.
The objection to adding anything
to the present tobacco tax has been
so sharp and emphatic that few Dem
ocratic members now give it any pub
lie approval. The most vexed ques-
tion to be sottled by the series Of con-
ferences with a full Democratic mem
bersnip begun yesterday, is that Of a
graduated income tax. Messrs. Bry-
an of Nebraska and Tarsney of Mis-
souri, are the principal champions of
this proposition in the committee, and
they appear in fair way to carry
their ideas to practical results.

FELLOWS GREAT SPEECH.
The Eloquent New Yorker Addresses
Large Audience at Little Rock.

Large Audience at Little Rock.
In the course of his great speech
at Little Rock, on night before last,
Col. John r. Fellows, the distin-
guished New Yorker and ex Arkan-
sas, gaue forth the following utter
ances on the vital question of silver
Now single word upon a question
that is agitating you a great deal and
which has more seriously, perhaps,
agitated that body Of which | am
member, this much vexed silver ques-
tion. You understand, | suppose,
without my finding it necessary to
make the assertion, that there is some
conflict of opinion between the East
and the Wet and South upon upon
this subject. But yet, after all, when
we come down to a recognition of
what there is in this subject, and what
underlies it, and what its possible
outcome will be, the difference is not
nearly so great as it has been repre-.
sented. Let me say as a representa-
tive in Congress from an Eastern con
stituency, from a New York City con-
stituency, the financial center of the
nation, the place where the most mon
ey accumulates and the place where
the opposition to certain ideas which
have prevailed regarding silver is the
strongest and most deep seated, that
| have never found an individual of
intelligence there, nor have found
in Congress but three that | know OF
who are opponents Of the free use Of
silver as a money metal in this coun-
try. All of us believe in the free use
of silver. There will be none the less
silver in circulation as money now
that the Sherman bill is repealed, and
we in the East are not unfavorable to
$50, 100000 Or $40,0O0,000 more in
our currency as we readily under
stand that we can absorb $75, 100000
or $80,000,000 Of cur currency with
out any danger
Continuing his remarks on the sub
ject ne pointed out the rock upon
which the eastern and western or
northern and southern Democracy
had split, in an attempt at legislative
action. In the eyes Of the eastern
representatives the one question para
mount to all others was the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the iniqui-
tous Sherman law, while those of the
West and South look beyond the rem
edy in search Of the ultimate cure In
presenting both sides Of the question
the speaker made many striking and
forcible illustrations, leaving ne single
phaze of the monetary question, from
an eastern standpoint unpresented.
On general topics the speaker carried
the hearts of his hearers "by storm
aid won, as his due, the unstinted
applause of his auditors The address
was delivered under the auspices of
the Young Mems Democratic club of
Little Rock.

In his speech on the Wilson repeal
bill, Representative johnson of North
Dakota made the point that nearly all
the mortgages made in North Dakota in
recent years are made payable in gold
coin, while the 100000 due depositors
from the banks of the country, the S.
0O0,000,000 for which the life insurance
companies are liable to their policy hold
ers. and all similar obligations of the
great rich creditors, are payable in cur
rent funds. And yet Mr.. johnson voted
for the Wilson bill to perpetuate this
very thraildom on the poor OF the nation
by restricting our financial basis to so
narrow a limit that 1t can be controlled
by a few monied men OF the country.

and make the silver dollar equal to the
