FAVOR THE WHITE METAL.
The Silver Wing of the Ohio Democracy In the Maj jority
 at the state Convention.

COLUMBUS, O., June 23.-If doubt existed in any minds as to where the Ohio Democrats stand with re- gard to the currency question it will
 now be dispelled, such was the en- thnsiasm manifested for the white metal during he opening proceed ings of the State convention today. The convention is simply the culmi- nation of the triumph won by the silver wing over the sound money wing of the Ohio Democracy at the recent primaries, and what was be- fore considered a probability is trans formed into an absolute certainty. None but pronounced silver men will be sent to the Chicago convention, the silver plank of the platform will be as strong and unequivocal as it is possible to make it, and the candi- dates to be nominated on the State ticket will be chosen from among those who have all along declared themselves in favor of the white metal The opening session today, confined wholly to the work of or ganization and the appointment of the usual committees, attracted a great crowd which occupied every available inch of floor space in the convention hall. Allen W. Thurman, Virgil P. Kline, of Cleveland, Con- gressman Sor%. eX-Gov. Campbell were among the speakers and each wos accorded q rnusing welcome.
 Talks with the delegates indicate that there is little chance for any administration or gold democrats to he chosen as delega gates-at-large or to be included among the candidates on the State ticket For the four delegates-at-large numerous names are mentioned. The Cinclnnatians are shouting themselves hoarse for John R. Mclean, while James Kill bourne, of this city Virgil P. Kline, of Cleveland. ex-Gov. Campbell and other have been brought forward.

 The houses were insured for $400 and $l00 with Bell and Vernon. There was no insurance on the fnrniture

EPWORTH WORKERS ENRoUTE TO
 THE STATE CONVENTION.
Magnolia. TeNarsann and fordyoe Unions Received and Welcomed at ths

They were all here, or nearly all, and they met the rest of them at Altheimer and iourneyed together to the State convention at Little Rock.
 The north bound Cotton Belt train wrich arrived at l:30 o'clock this afternoon brought more than it's usual load It pulled three banner bedecked cars filled with members of the Texarkana, Mag nolia and Fordyce Unions Of the Epworth League. They were met by committee and escorted to the First Methodist Church, where an informal reception was held. As the crowd it was more than a bevy-came up Main street it re, minded one of d female school out for walk; only girls don't take walk in the rain,
 At the church the meeting was opened with song. As the chorus told the old time hymn, All hail the power of Jesus name let angels prostrate fall, spectator could but be impressed with the earnest ness and zeal of these workers in the greatest cause.
 At 3:15, after several addresses and songstthey left the church for the dapot This time the crowd was augmented by the Pine Bluff union, all in badges bediaht as enthu- siastic and jealous as any of the rest. They will arrive in Little Rock at 7:30 tonight.
 Mr. Hart spoke truly when he said that Pine Bluff always had a warm welcome for members of the Epworth League

ALTGELD AND SILVER.
THE CRY OF THE ILLINOIS DEMO
 CRAFTS.
The state Convention in session at
 Peoria

PEORIA, ILI... June 23-Altgeld
 and Silver is the cry of the army of
 Illinois Democrats in State conyen.
 ton here today 10 select delegates
 to the Chicago convention and to l nominate Il full State ticket to be
 voted for in November. More than
 GOO delegates and m equal number
 of alternates packed the Tabernacle
 when the convention was called to
 order shortly past noon, and in the spacious galleries sat an enthusias-
 tie audience which shouted itself hoarse at every mention Of the white
 metal. The big hall was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting and was an agreeable surprise to those who had not seen it before. Nearly every delegate and spectator wore button inscribed to A tgehi and Silver. The immense throng was in d happy mood, and rousing welcomes were accorded Governor Altgeld, A. $. Trude, of Chicago, W. H. Hinrichsen and other silver lead CTS as they entered the hall and took their places upon the platform. The convention was called to order by W. H. Hinriehsen, who congratnlat- ed his hearers upon the large attend ance and enthusiasm manifested. He then D resented Alexander II. Bell Of Carlinville, as temporary chair man of the convention. Tn assnm- ing the chair MT. Bell made vig0r- ous speech congratulating the dele gates that the Illinois Democracy was to be found safely enrolled under the silver banner, approving the administration of Governor Altgeld and prophesying his re-elcc- tion this fall. The mention of the | Governors name was the signal for | an enthusiastic demonstration on the part of the delegates and speeta- tors to which he made Il graceful acknowledgement. The roll was then called by Secretary Joseph II. Well and after the appointment of the usual committees a recess was taken to allow the committees on platform, resolutions and nomina- tons time 10 complete their work | and report. The platform will con- tain the strongest silver plank 1t is possible to devise, and the national administration will come in for a round of denuneiation for the flnan- eial policy it has pursued the past four years.

GREETs OUR GREAT EFFORTS
 ON ALL SIDES.
Neither Time, Labor Nor Expense to Re Spared to Make it the Finest Issue Ever Got
 ten Out Tn Pine
 Bluff.

Since the announcement of the GRAPHIc's special edition, Nlr. Hal David, the well known descriptive
 writer, whom we have employed t4 manage the getting Cup of our special edition. has met with cour- icons round of success. The good work is rapidly being pus.ed for ward and we believe that those who endorse the effort will never have cause to regret it.
 When the GRAPHIC announced to the putlic that it would issue Il grand special edition, three ideas, or rather three branches of the same idea were in mind.
 First: To issue an article brist- ling with the advantages that a location in Pine Bluff offers.
 Second; To show thoroughly the manner and kind of city and county government we enjoy and the men wEo hold the reins of these govern ments. Also to give thorough description of our bar and medical fraternity and the men that com pose these.
 Third; To give our merchants and manufacturers an uuparalled medium by which they can reach every citizen in Pine Bluff, Jefferson county and the surrounding coun- ties.
 For these purposes the GRAPHIC secured the services of Mr. Hal David who has had a thorough eNper- lance in these matters and as descriptive writer has no equal in the South.
 The citizens of Pine Bluff are re- spending heartily and nobly to our effort \ bona fide circulation of 7,500 copies is an enormous eirenla- ton and will reach not less than 50,- G00 people The edition will certain ly fill a long felt want and will be compiled in such n manner that you can send it abroad, refecting credit upon the best city and county in the State.
 We mean business and the great success attending the effort is signifi- cant that the people believe in the effort.
 Every citizen who has the welfare of Pine Bluff at heart, every member of our county government, our bar, our medical fraternity. and every business man who desires to dispose of his goods ought to patronize this affair. The papers will be circulat- ted direct by mail with the names written plainly on each wrapper in- surfing a complete, rigid and diversi- fled circulation. In fact we assure the public of the most complete epietome of Jefferson county ever published in Pine Bluff

 OTHER THINGS.

 hawks.

The historic HRobber of the
 Rhine would not have attempted
 such thing. Industry and prompt
 ness are commendable traits in
 every line of business, but the burg
 lars of Sunday night exercised
 their sagaeity d little too freely.
 The residence of Mr. J. Wertheimer
 was feloniously entered about 930
 p. m. and Mr. l. Dinkelspeil is minus
 a suit of clothes in consequence
 thereof, One hour earlier the same
 thing was tried at the residence of Capt J. B. York, but he was caught in the act and as the novelist would say, ahe fled precipitately1
 MT. DinkeIspeil tells the story of his loss as follows: Sunday morn ing he had placed his clothes in the wardrobe. And he hasn't seen them since. About a week ago a purse containing s and check was stolen from the same house. Yesterday at the new house being built on Bar raque street the contractor found an old pair of pants taining two letters addressed to Mr. Dinkelspeil. The thief had appropriated the pants but didn't care for the letters. It is believed that the one who com mitted the crime was thoroughly familiar with the house and sur- roundings. The police have the mat ter in hand and think tdey will soon make capture.
 The one who did the act at Capt. Yorks s residence was little too early. Birds who wish to be early in order to catch She worm must not overdo the thing. Any burglary is q proceeding calculated to make one nervous, butat s o'clock on aSunday night is rushing business at a ter rifle rate. It proved not to be the best policy in this instance Miss Grace York had just gone to her room when behind the door she saw the unwelcome figure of negro man. With wonderful presence of mind the young lady pretended not to see the intruder and in a few seconds she left the room again. Once on the stairs her woman's nature asserted itself. She dropped the lamp and screamed. Then the wretch made his escape.
 Itis a matter for speculation as to whether or not the two burglaries were effected by the same man.

BICYCLES FREE
To Boys and Girls Who Will Get Subscribers to the Daily and
 Semi Weekly Graphic.

The school season has about
 closed. and books will soon be dls-
 placed in the mind of every boy and 1 girl by sports and amusements
 There is nothing so popular at the
 present day as bicycles, and nothing so coveted hy the young of
 both sexes. Most children, however cannot afford the luxury of wheel owing to their great cost. In order
 therefore, to give everyone an oppor- tnnity of securing a good bicycle the GRAPHIC has decided to make the following offers
 To every boy or girl who secures fifty sub eribers to the Daily GRAPHIC for period of two months or fifty subscribers to the Semi
 Weekly GRAPme for period of one year each, will be given u $40 De- tiance bicycle.
 To every person securing sixty two-month subscribers to the Daily or sixty yearly subscribers to the semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given a $50 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing seventy two-mohth subscribers to the Daily or seventy yearly subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given Il $G0 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing eighty five two-month subscribers to the Daily or eighty-tive yearly subscrib- CTS to the Semi-Weekly GRAPHIC will be given $75 Defiance bicycle.
 It is not necessary that the whole number be made up of subscribers to the same paper, but it may be com posed of part Daily and part Semi Weekly subscriptions.
 The above offers apply only to new subscribers or to parties taking neither the Daily nor Semi Weekly GRAPHIC at the present time-May 2 The subscription prlce--65 cents a month for the Daily and $f. 50 u year for the Semi -Weekly-must accompany every name, else credit will not be given the solicitor. In the event three or four month subscriptions to the Daily are secured. corresponding decrease in the number required will be allowed. but no person will be permitted to subscribe for a longer period than Tour months to the Daily or one year to the Semi Weekly. One canvasser can transfer his list to the credit of another should he foil to get the required number to get q bicycle
 Defiance bicycles are manufactured and guaranteed by the Monarch Cycle Mfg. Co, of Chicago, and are made of the same material used in $lO0 wheels. They are, therefore. far superior to most cheap bicycles. The $40 and $50 wheels are for boys and girls and the $6O and $70 wheels for adults Catalogues containing a detailed description Of each machine and blanks for canvassing may be had free at the GRAPHIC office.
 Now is the chance for industrious boys and girls to get bicycles for little effort, and the sooner they get to work the easier will it be to secure the required number of sub scribers. Who will Lbe the first one to get wheel?

A NEW IMPROVEMENT.
The Ice and Coal Company Now Use
 Their Own Electric Light Plant


 The Arkansas and Texas Ice and Coal Company now have their own electric light plant. 1t was started for the first time at o'clock this afternoon and works to perfection. The machine has capacity of fifty l0-candle power incandescentlights, and the ice plant, office and stables of this company are now lighted throughout by about forty of their own electric lights. The machinery was set up by MT. W. H. Adams and the wires strung by MT. w. M. Cunningham. A test was made this afternoon, as above stated, and the machinery worked satisfactori- ly. It is very valuable improve ment to the immense ice plantof the Arkansas and Texas Ice and Coal Company, and we congratulate President Hicks on his enterprise. Nothing has been left undone to makeit one of the best and most perfect ice plants, in every detail, in the South, and it is certainly a credit to Pine Bluff.
