RIOT AT FORREST CITY.

A desperate shooting afray,
amounting almost to a riot, is re-
ported from Forrest City, Ark, the
details of which we're given yester-
day, in the following dispatch, from
that place:
This town was thrown into few
er of excitement yesterday over
a terrible shooting affray which oc-
CURED on the streets. 1t will be
remembered that some time ago a
number of arrests were made of
men charged with completely in
White Cap outrages, Twenty three
of the cappers have been confined
in Jail at this place awaiting trial
which began today and streams of
witnesses and friends of the accus-
ed poured into town. Red liquor
fowedfreely, and dangerous threats
against officials were INDUCED in.
During the adjournment of court
for dinner general pistol practice
was INDUCED in between sympathiz-
ers of the cappers and detectives
and officers who captured the gang.
j. II. Webster, a Memphis detective
was killed; Henry Gore, a friend of
the cappers, wounded in the arm;
Frank Sherman, special deputy
sheriff, wounded in side; P. D.
Gowan, a friend of Webster's from
Memphis, wounded in arm. The
coroners Jury rendered a verdict
to effect that Webster came to his
death by pistol shot from Henry
Gore, who was remanded to jail

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANs.

NASHVILLE, May 24.-The Gener-
al Assembly of the Southern Pres
byterian Church upon re-assembl-
ing today received the report of the
Committee on Narrative. The re-
port says there seems to be a steady
growth in the churches. Last year
the average addition to each church
was something over seven, Judging
from the numbers given in the mar
ratiye the average for the present
year will exceed that Of last year.
Taken altogether the report is Of a
very encouraging nature. The vote
on the organic union matter taken
Yesterday was corrected and found
to be ayes, 1877 nays, 81. A formal
protest was offered by Dr. Ellwang
and others against the action Of
the assembly yesterday in refusing
to appoint a committee on organic
union. The protest will be allowed
to 90 on the minutes but will be an
swered by committee to be appoint.

ORGANIZED WANT.

Representatives Davis and Tau
beneck, Populist members of the
lower House of Congress, have
been making what they claim to
be careful estimates of the bands
of Coxeyites on their way to Wash
ington, and they claim there are
5000 men tramping or riding on
boats and borrowed trains toward
the Capital Mr.. Davis does not
believe in the wisdom or efficacy of
the Coxey movement, and has writ
ten a magazine article which points
out that the movement is the re-
suit of currency contraction, and
summarizes it as organized want. )"
If the Government should yield to
Coxey's demands, other armies
would march on the Capital with
other demands and the result would
be government by the multitude.
The remedy for the present state
of business he finds in the ballot,
which he defines as recorded opin-
ion. ''No Coxeyites come from
Kansas" he said, in conversation
on the subject, because Kansas
expressed herself properly by cleo
tions, and Nebraska, which is large
ly Populist state, has contributed
not more than seyenty-fve men to
the movement. u
By imprisoning the Commonweal
leaders he says the authorities
made swan out of a goose. The
chief danger from the movement,
he thinks, will develop next fall,
when the weather becomes too cold
for the men to camp out of doors.
Then he looks for trouble.

PROTECTION ON WOOL.

That protection" does not al
ways protect, " may be ascertained
from the fact that the enormous
duty that has been imposed upon
raw wool for the purpose of pro-
tecting the sheep farmers of the
United States does not seem to
have Stimulated or Encouraged
that industry to any great degree,
for the census statistics show that
during the last ten years the small
est increase in the whole range of
agriculture of the United States
has been in sheep and the produc
tion of wool. The increase from
1880 to 1890 in the total number of
neat cattle was 42.97 per cent. The
increase in mich cows was 32.70 per
cent; the increase in other cattle
was 500l per cent. The increase
in mules and asses was 26!63 per
cent. The increase in swine was
20.40 per cent, The increase in
horses was 44.50 per cent, but the
increase in sheep was only 2,11 per
cent.
The census of 1890 shows the in
crease in the number Of farms dur
ing the previous ten years to have
been 1886 per cent; the increase in
acres titled $3.50 per cent; in the
value of farm lands and improve
ments an increase of 1928 per cent;
in the value Of farm implements
and machinery of 1858 per cent;
in the value of live stock H.21 per
cent; an increase in the production
Of cotton of 36.7l per cent; an in
crease in fax of 93.77 per cent; an
increase in cereals of 3044 per cent,
but the increase in the production
of wool was only 527 per cent-the
lowest on the list. During the same
period the population of the United
State increased 86 per cent.

PASS THE TARIFF BILL.
Senator Berry Makes Speech in the
Senate Urging Immediate
Action.

The st. Louis Republic of May "a
contains the following:
The Senate made some little pro-
gresS today, but it was very slow
and tedious work. Senator Berry,
of Arkansas, in strong, eloquent
and forceful speech this morning,
stirred up the Republicans by ac-
cusing them outright of filibuster-
ing and endeavoring to prevent a
vote on the bill. He reminded
them that the people of the United
States had decided by an over
whelming majority for Tariff re-
form in 1892, and that any filibus-
tering against the tariff bill was
fighting the mandate of the major
ity of the American people. Mr..
Berry said the Republicans pre-
tended to be discussing the meas
ure. but really we're killing time.
He referred to the three or four
days speeches, or rather essays,
read by Quay and Gallinger, which
nobody needed and nobody would
read.
Mr.. Berry said it was so palpable
that the Republicans we're filibus-
tering that it was time the coun-
try should be made aware of it in
plain terms. He called attention
to the fact that the tariff bill had
now been in the Senate since March
20, and that it was high time that
it should be disposed of. He said
that if there we're AZ Senators of
his mind in the chamber the bill
would be brought up and voted up
on Immediately and passed. Mr..
Berry remarked incidentally that he
was not particularly in, love with
the pending measure himself. He
had believed it was the duties of his
associates to pass such a revenue
bill as the people of the country ex-
pected, and to defy any Democrat
who opposed such a bill. He be-
lieved, however, that any bill the
Democrats would press, that would
reduce duties, would be preferable
to the Mckinley law, and he would
support it, and believed that the
best interests of the country de-
manded that it should be brought
to vote Immediately.
Half a dozen Republicans we're on
their feet to reply to the Arkansas
Senator. Hoar was recognized, and
he taunted the Democrats with re-
treating step by STEP changing
their bill every week or ten days,
and not knowing exactly what they
wanted.
Aldrich and Chandler took
whack at the Arkansas Senator,
but he gave them back more than
he received, and finally said that he
would waste no more Of the Sen
ate's time in replying to the Repub-
lican Senators.

WORK OF AN INCENDIARY Y.

At 4 o'clock this a, m. fire was
discovered in the frame building in
Fairview owned by the Texas Pro
duce Co., and occupied by Little &
Maxwell as grocery store.
The fire alarm was sounded, call
ing out the fire department, which
responded promptly, but, owing to
the distance and the progress of
the flames before being discovered,
was unable to save either building
or contents, both being a complete
loss, without insurance,
The fire was clearly of incendiary
origin, as the store had first been
robbed and then set on fire, to COW
er up the work of the thieves. 1t
was impossible, ofcourse, to ascer-
tain the amount but it is believ-
ed that one or more wagon loads OF
goods had been removed by the
thieves before the torch was ap.
piled.
The officers are earnestly at work
on the case, and have, we under
stand, a clue that will lead to de-
lection of the perpetrators of this
dastardly double crime, by which
two worthy gentlemen have suffer
ed 80 severe a loss. We trust that
the guilty wretches may be run
down and punished as they deserve

The Watches of Night.

When of the repeated kind exper-
fenced by persons troubled by in
somnia, soon bring about an alarm
ing condition of the nervous system.
The shaking hand, confusion of the
brain, lapse of memory and loss of
appetite indicate, with terrible pre-
cision, the ravages produced by loss
of sleep, which if unremedied must
destroy mental equilibrium altogeth-
er. No better or thorough nervine
exists than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, Common sense and exper-
fence points to its early and steady
use in cases of insomnia. it
strengthens weak and relaxes the
tension of overstrained nerves,
which, by the way, a resort to un-
medicated stimulants will never do
permanently, while the after effect
of such excitants is most prejudical.
Under the influence of this benign
invi gorant, appetite, digestion and
sleep return, and bodily comfort
and health are alike promoted. 1t
Is invaluable in chills and fever, liv-
er complaint, constipation, rheumat-
ic and kidney trouble.

NO. 222.

Fox Country saw that the house of
John O'Connor was on fire and by
hard work succeeded in extinguish-
Ing the flames. After the fire was
out they discovered the body of
O'COnnor sitting in chair at the
supper table with his skull crushed
in and by his side the body of
strange'girl about 10 years old with
her throat cut. The motive of
OConnor's murder is accounted for
as he had 5000 on his person, but
the presence of the strange
girl makes the affair deep
mystery.
