Crawford County horticultural So
ciety.

At meeting of the Crawford County
Horticultural Society last Saturday the
subject of Incorporating the society
under the laws of Arkansas was brought
up by motion by Mr.. H. A. Meyer to
appoint a committee to investigate and
report to the society for action.
1t appears to have developed during
the past season that the society, not
being incorporated, has no legal stand
ing in court and therefore cannot sue or
be sued. Considerable discussion pro
and con was had in regard to this
matter Messrs Stevenson, Steele,
Denton, Decherd, Kagy, Scott, Camp
bell, Rea and others taking part, the
first two named being opposed to
Incorporation. Mr.. Stevenson moved
as substitute that the society leave
things as they We're, and served notice
that if the society should decide to
incorporate the Flat Rock delegation
would withdraw Mr.. Stevensons
motion was defeated by a rising vote.
Mr.. Meyers motion to appoint com
mittee TO investigate was then carried
and on motion the president appointed
the following committee, TO report the
first Saturday in January: Judge
Decherd, Henry Steele, H A Meyer,
Prof. Kagy and P. d. Scott. Mr.
Scott moved that they be given
authority To call in legal assistance and

Killed a Negro.

Conductor Stevens, of the local on
the X. & A. v, is out under bond for
the killing of negro at Muldrow, l. 7.
1t appears from those who saw the affair
to have been clear case of self
defense and Mr.. Stevens will have nc
trouble in proving it such. The injury
from which the negro died last Tuesday
was inflicted week ago Thursday
The negroes of that section are quite
impudent and number of them got on
the train at Muldrow, among them the
one killed. Refusing to pay their fare
they were put off, but persisted in
getting on again. When Mr.. Stevens
went to the deceased and demanded hi
fare the latter made move as if tt
draw pistol and was promptly knocked
down by Mr.. Stevens with a piece Of
iron. The whole affair was witnessed
by Engineer Brock, who corroborate(
Mr.. Stevens version of the affair
Mr.. Stevens surrendered himself to the
marshal at Muscogee and was released
on bond.

Housebreakers Have an Inning.

1t almost appears as hough Var

an era of house breaking and robbery
Mr.. Chas. Pape on rising Monday
morning found that housebreakers had
been at work during the night and
relieved him of gold watch and chain
a suit of clothes and some money The
noise had been heard by some of the
family, but they, thinking it was one

Mr.. Joe Casebeere s residence was
also visited, but the providers were run
off. Mr.. Earl Byers also received a
visit and now mourns the loss of a pair
of pants and some money.
Other residences were visited Satur
day night, which almost causes it to
appear as though there was well
organized gang at work. A good dose
of shot, they say, is the best burglar
antidote in existence and we hope some
of our citizens will get chance to
apply generous dose to some Of the

in the almost frantic effort to make the
Republican majority in the next senate
safe beyond question. Senator Proctor,
who is the personal friend and CO.
worker of Mark Hanna, and who is
recognized as one of the Mckinley
senators upon the floor. was engaged
yesterday in making inquiries as to
certain Republicans in Utah who are
friendly to the Mckinley policy and who
might be aided to the senatorship.
among them being the father of Senator
Cannon. Similar inquiries are being
made regarding Republicans in other
states.
CAN THE SILVER MEN BE cAPTUREDf
Talks with the silver Republicans,
who were not at the caucus yesterday,
make it very clear that there is no
justification for the belief that they will
abandon their present position. They
will not declare positively that they
have placed themselves in the attitude
of opponents of the protective policy,
but they say they will not go into the
Republican caucus, and they propose to
keep to their independent line. There
is no doubt that some of the Eastern
Republicans leaders are ready now to
make overtures in the way of higher
duties on lead ore and wool. and on
other items in which the far West is
vitally interested in the hope that these
offers will seduce the boilers into the
ranks again.

Their Mexican Troubadours are very

THEY FACE A CRISIS.
Next C0ngress-the Tariffs
Narrow Margin.
From the Washington Post Dec. 9.

From the Washington Post Dec 9.
The absence of the silver Republican
senators from the caucus yesterday
brought their former party colleagues
face to face to a situation which
amounts almost to u crisis. 1t is within
the range of possibility that the Repub-
lieans may not be able to pass tariff
law in the next Congress. An appre-
citation of this fact caused the greatest
amount of uneasiness yesterday, and
radical means will be resorted to to
insure a safe, even though narrow
majority ON the Republican side when
the next senate eonvenes at the extra
session.
Anxious to conciliate the erring
brethren who had gone out of the party
at st. Louis and willing to forgive them
because their votes will be needed, the
Republican manager in the senate, as
stated in the The Post yesterday, con
cluded to let by cones be bygones, and
invited the boilers to commune once
more with their old party associates in
caucus. There was hope, somewhat
dubious, but still sufficient to be grasped
at as a last chance, that the olive branch
would be accepted. Nothing would
have been warmer than the welcome
which would have been extended to
these silver Republicans. The fatted
calf would have been fguratively killed
for the returning prodigals, and there
would have been joy unconfined. The
caucus met, but the prodigals returned
not. They were in the city. but their
steps did not trend in the direction of
the marble room where the caucus was
held. Some of them, like Senators
Dubois and Cannon, We're within
stone S throw of the meeting place,
looking over their morning mail in their
rooms. They had held a
on the night previous, and
had decided that the Gordian knot, cut
after due deliberation last spring was
not to be retied. And the most
important development is that they are
out for good.
NOT A MAJORITY IN SIGHT.
The fact is. therefore that if the
silver Republicans persist in their
attitude, the Republicans
will be several senators shy of a
majority in the next senate AS the
now stands, the Republicans
can only count with certainty upon
forty two senators in the next congress,
