The American .irchitect makes the
following statement in regard to the
cost Of the big buildings of the country
by the cubic foot:
With materials and labor at the same
price, two buildings of the same char
acter, although of different sizes, will
be found to cost approximately the
same per cubic foot; hence the cost Of
proposed building may be closely esti-
mated by multiplying its cubic contents
by the known cost per cubic foot of u
similar structure built in the same
locality. The cost of similar buildings
in other localities can be estimated nc
cording to the difference in cost Of labor
and material. The cost per cubic foot
Of wcll-known buildings in various
cities was as follows:
Rookery building, Chicago, eleven
stories, iron and steel interior, ten pas
senger elevators, 81 cents percubic foot,
Monadnock building, Chicago, six.
teen stories, rich marble work, 42t cents
Masonic Temple, Chicago, twenty

The Governor Talks About the Lynching
Riot at Washington Court House.


Riot at Washington Court House.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct 1S.-Governor
Mckinley, being asked about the lynch
ing affair at Washington Court House,
said:
"rhe act speaks for itself. Troops
were sent to act in aid OF the civil
authorities, who We're powerless to quell
the mob that was seeking to overthrow
the law and its orderly administrator"
The governor was up all night in a
sleeping car and in direct commune
cation until s Il. M. with his adjutant-
general, and came through Washington
Court House about Il. M, leaving Gin.
clnnati Mt $50 4. m. He says he will
not leave Ohio so long as there is
possibility of trouble, He has formally
Withdrawn the troops. He has received
number of kilograms to the effect that
his stand for law and its proper en-
forcement will be heartily approved
by all wise lovers of State and country"
He has cancelled speaking engage.
ments at louisville and Nashville, and
the meeting at New Orleans will depend
upon the developments of to-day. The
feeling here is that the governor would
be Justified in going to New Orleans,
but he says: at is better to stay here a
little too long than to go little too
SOON"

Arctic Exploration.

llarper's Weekly.
Judging from the experiences of per.
sons who have stayed ut home this sum
mer, ard especially of those who have
stayed in town, the season just passed
ought to have been an ideal one for
Arctic exploration. 1t has not proved
so. None of the expeditions that have
started north has had any success.
Wellman was promptly routed by the
mlsadventures he met with; even the
moderate northing that DIR. Cooks party
attempted on the Miranda was denied
them. And now the Falcon brings the
story of Lieutenant Peary's complete
discontinue, and the upsetting of his
plans Tor the season US long ago us last
March, by fierce storm that crippled
half his party and a disease that de-
moralizea his dogs. The lieutenant,
with two companions, has remained in
north Greenland to finish his work; the
rest Of the party the Falcon brings back,
including Mrs. and Miss Peary, and all
in health and in such spirits as Arctic
explorers may enjoy. Lieutenant Peary
has indomitable perseverance, and seems
TO thrive on Arctic weather. No one
who Is trying to reach the upper end of
the earth seems more likely to attain it
than he. 1t seems acuriously attractive
quest, that holds its devotees as long as
strength remains to them to prosecute it,
and is ever Turing new victims into its
line AS fast as old ones drop out. A
sportsman who was assured of the merits
Of golf said, rather incredulously {:
swell, it beats you, and, after all, that's
all any game doesr That must be the
charm OF polar exploration. 1t certainly
beats you, and as long as it does there
will continue TO be men TO attempt it.

Vino drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but II day.
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword of fame;
The dust will hide the crown
Ay, none shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet
And left to heaven the rest,

A kiss he took and "A back ward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter;
triile, you say, to color u day,
Yet the dull gray morn seemed brighter.
For hearts are such that a tender touch
May Danish look of sadness;
A small bright thing can make us sing.
But a frown will check our gladness.
The cheeriest ray along our way
Is the little act of kindness,
And the keenest sting some careless thinp
That was done in moment OF blind,

We can bravely face life in home where
strife
No foothold can discover,
And be lovers still il we only will
Though youths bright days arc over
All, sharp as swords cut the mkind words
That are far beyond recalling.

And bitter tears are falling,
We fain would give the lives we live
To undo our idle scorning.
Then let us not miss the smile and kiss
When We part in the light of morning.

The Forrest City times., 1894-08-24

BOTH of the MarianDa papers are sending out reports and insinuations that the visitors from that town were not treated right while in our city last week. It is well known fact that the reputation of Forrest City is made as to it's hospitality. It may not be well known that our young folks are so hos pitable that they invited the young people of Marianna up to ball recent ly and paid their admission fee and gave them board and lodging while here. and even then there were some so narrow that they could not appreciate the excellent treatment given them and on returning home made ugly in- situations through the Courier. Every body else seems to have enjoyed the festivities here last week, and if the Marianna people were not entertained the fault perhaps lies with them. We cannot help the ways of nature.
 The Index asserts that it was gotten up as money making scheme, and as such was bowling success While this is absolutely untrue-the Rifles having spent considerable more money than they received-it shows the ''bug under the chip" They were disap- pointed because it cost them couple of dollars to take it in."
 We feel sure all this fuss" is being made by one or two dyspeptics. We have many friends in Marianna whom we know do not endorse the silly and unfounded kick" being heralded abroad by the papers of their town.

Died.

The barbecue at Widener is past and gone and in spite of the unpropitious weather was well attended and success. But it is not of this we would write, for our heart is fllIed with grief at the death of our old friend Wm. F. Myers. of Wide per, who died Tuesday morning, the Fist inst, at the age of 52. We believe that when death strikes down the old gray hair. ed man. bowed beneath the weight of many years, with his iife's work done that pity and sympathy can find solace in the thought that his mission was ended and that death has but taken his due. But when the man in life's prime is taken. .leaving little orphaned children behind him. not only fatherless but mOtheress. we stand appalled, at death's cruel work and our heart goes out in deep sympathy for little Ida Myers and sweet Nellie and iArtie Ward.
 r Wm. F. Myers was no mans enemy We shed no tears for him. While he as no believer in exciting revivals. while he may have no profession of religion, he told the writer only few days before his death that he was going to try to lead a christian life. No tears therefore for such man as this, but rejoicing in the in the belief that his soul has gone to meet with loved ones above.

The Democratic party of Arkansas in con- vention assembled. hereby reafiirms it's faith pies of the National Democratic party s as '" ea. pressed in its platforms and ratified in its leg islation throughout the history of the gov following specific declarations:
 We insist upon strict compliance with the repeated declarations of the party in favor of proteotion favored by the Republican 'Ia party ray and crystalized in the infamous discrimina. tions of the Mckinley tariff bill, shall be an nuied and fair competition in the markets of all classes in the United States, and fair ex change for our surplus products thereby se' cured.
 Tothe end that ta xation may be distributed on an equitable basis and accumulated proper ty pay its fair share of the expenses of the government. which have for so long a time been borne by the consumption Of the people We favor an income tax.
 We still consider the act of 1s73 whereby silver was demosetized. as the greatest legis- lative crime Of the century, and demand the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at a ratio of Is to as it then existed.
 We believe the constitutional power to bOr- row money should he exercised by congress only in the event of great emergencies when the power 10 levy and collect taxes commen- surate with the requirements of the occasion cannot be enforced without manifest oppres- sion of he,peopic. Therefore we are opposed. to the issue of bonds In ti,ne of peace.
 We congratulate the Democratic party and the people upon the repeal of the odious Fed eral election law.
 We favor the continued maintainance of our free public schools in the interest of gen. erai intelligence aud public information.
 Believing that home ruls and local self government are cardinal principles in Re- publican government, we therefore endorse and approve the action of the legislature of Arkansas in enacting laws reiegating to the people the right Of settling the liquor Ques- ton for themselves in accordance with the wish es and sentiments Of the country affect ed

Gold in Alaska.

Four miners arrived in Tacoma from
Alaska recently. bringing each 500, 600
in gold dust, which they said was the
result of two seasons work in the
Yukon country. They said that all
the old timers who have been long on
the ground and have mastered its
peeuliarities have struck it rich during
the last season. There is good evil
dence of this in the fact that a steamer
called at Tacoma not long ago en- route
to San Francisco from Alaska, having
aboard about $1,000 in gold dust,
which her officers said was usual thing
this season. Some big nuggets, aver
aging twenty to thirty ounces, have
been found. But the mining is ex-
ceedingly difficult. About 500 miners
will winter in the Yukon district this
year. The influx Of miners has been
so great that there is likely to be a
great scarcity of provisions before
spring. A big rush to the region is
looked for next year because the
placers have panned out so well.
