Wind Storm.

Yesterday the weather was very
threatening and nearly all the after
noon the wind blew with considerable
velocity. The clouds had every ap-
pearance of a storm, but it did not
materilize at this place.
Mr.. j. G. Lindler, writing to US
from Wessinger, says that about S
o'clock that vicinity was visited by a
fine shower and a heavy wind storm.
While setting in the back part of his
house he felt sudden jar and it ap-
peared as if the house was lifted from
its pillars, but by the time he
got his family out the storm was
over. The storm moved in q south
westerly direction. The storm
blew down trees in his yard and
dashed one of them at his door and
some timbers were blown into the
piazza. His fruit trees were almost
ruined and his wheat shocks torn to
pieces and scattered over the field.
We have heard from no other Sec
tion, but from the appearance Of the
clouds we would Judge that the
storm was severe in some sections of
the county.

such thing as hard times; why we
have plenty Of money and can buy
more with it now than we could
some years ago. If the gold stand
ard is not a special benefit to the
moneyed men why do they hang to
it so rigidly? Men are so selfish now
a-days, they favor that which ben
efts them without regard to the in
juries it may inhict on others. I am
unwilling that sixty nine millions OF
people of our country should be pau
perized just to allow one million to
own the wealth of our blessed land.

securing impartial history, and to
enlist each State in the compilation
of the history of her citizen soldiery:
the benevolent care through State

to see that they are annually deco
rated, the headstones preserved and
protected, and complete lists of
names of our dead heroes with the
location of their last places furnished
to their friends and relatives through
the medium of our camps, thus res
cuing their names from oblivion and
handing them down in history; to
participate in laying the cornerstone
of the Jefferson Davis monument at
Richmond, Va; the consideration of
the different movements, plans and
means to complete the monument to
the memory of Jefferson Davis,
President of the Confederate States

monuments to other great leaders,
soldiers and sailors of the South;

rl- The Editorial and Business Management Of
this Paper Guarantee this generous Proposition
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-06-15

He not only ruled that he had juris- diction, but agreed that the com mittee erred, and issued an order commanding the committee to re- convene and count the Silve Lake returns, or, Eff they SO desired" submit motion to dissolve at the July term of the Desha Circuit Court.
 That was the straw that broke the camel's back
 The committee expected the order. The great majority of the party felt that in as much as this was contest simply for party nomination. and not and office, the court oyersteppe1 it's bounds to interfere. Even Mir kiteley's friends, in many instances, felt that he committed mistake W hen he appealed to the courts and that the courts were equally wrong in exercising their personal or official opinion from the bench.
 "The reason given is that although the primary was held under the la w legalizing primaries, this law fails to appoint a returning board or name its duty, leaving the rules to govern primaries to be adopted by the party itself, and, therefore, this matter be- ing wholly a party question, it by rights belonged to the party and to the people for settlement, and not to the courts.
 The question is asked, what right has Judge Elliott, or any other Cir cuit Illdge, to name our party nomi- nees
 sBnt, in so far as am personally concerned, l do not believe Judge Elliott would stoep to bend his official duty in order to secure per sonal gain. l know him. He is too honorable for that. At the same time believe him wrong in his de cision, but l further believe if he is convinced he is wrong, Judge Elliott has the moral courage and manhood to ackno wledge it.
 Motion to dissolve will be argued before Judge Elliott in this city either today or tomorrow.
 Notice has been served on Mir. Kiteley, says Mr. Trice, by the com mittee, thus the motion will he sub mitted now rather than delay until July.
 Judge E. F. Merritt, of this city, formerly of Desha county, will rep resents the defendants.
