cagO will be controlled by silver men
and the four chosen as deleg ates- at
large will go to Chicago prepared to
put up q strong fight for the recog-
milton OF bimetallism. Furthermore,
with the chances of their controlling
the State convention apparently
growing brighter day by day, the
silver leaders have gone about quiet
ly arranging their plans to launch
the Boies Presidential boom which
has long been nursed by certain
prominent Democratic leaders in
this State. The ball will be started
rolling at Dubuque on Tuesday when
resolutions will beintroduced asking
for the endorsement of "Uncle
Horace as the unanimous choice of
the Democrats of Iowa for the Pres
idency. They are expected to be car
ried through the convention with q
whoop, rivaling in vim and vigor the
hearty endorsement of Allison by
the late Iowa Republican convention.
1t is the prevailing opinion through
out the State that if the free silver
men succeed in capturing the Nation
al Democratic convention, the nomi-
nation will naturally come to the
| West and to Ex-Governor Boies as
! the strongest of Western candidates.

PROHIBITIONISTS
OF Wisconsin in Conventional
Full State Ticket to Be
Nominated.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May l3.- Wis
consin Prohibitionists are gathered
here in considerable numbers for
their State convention which will
elect delegates-at-large to the Pitts
burg convention and nominate n full
State ticket. The convention of the
Congressional districts are also be-
ing held i'll conjunction with the
State convention. Chairman Cronk,
OF Madison, called the convention to
order shortly after noon. The dele
gates were welcomed by Mayor Day
and brief addresses were delivered
by several prominent and energetic
foes of the liquor traffic. There are
several candidates for the guberna-
torial nomination and the contest
has become unusually spirited.

serving as a deputy constable, Goode
entered the Chinese estaurant and
beat up a Chinaman, for which he
was deposed. Prior TO that time he
had been on the police force and was
dismissed because OF his reckless
shooting at a prisoner, at which
time young lady of this city mar
rowly escaped receiving u stray bull
let. Goode has the reputation OF
being II dead-beat and bully, and
is known to have attacked and
beaten up several individuals who
refused him credit.
AS we have before stated, Goode
has been a policeman and subse-
quently deputy constable under
Constable C. NJ. Philpot, and was
each time discharged because OF his
bullying disposition and ungovern-
able temper few days ago Con-
stable Philpot lett with several citi-
zens on a camping expedition, and,
it is said, under promise of good be-
havior, appointed Wiley Goode a
deputy constable to serve during
his absence, and how well Goode
carried out his promise can be-seen
from the above.
After the shooting Wiley Goode
was arrested and placed in JAIL
where he now languishes. Indigna-
ton is supreme. and condemnation
and censure of the man who has
abused every confidence and trust
reposed in him, are universal.
Poor Frank Howe was removed
to the Infirmary about l O'Clock
where his wounds are now being ex
amined and the bullet probed for by
Drs. Orto and Runyan at this writ
ing. His condition is critical and his
recovery is almost impossible.
OF all the upjustifiable and mex
eusable tragedies that have been
committed in this community recent
", this is the most wanton; and
should Howe's wounds prove mortal,
Goode stands a good chance Of serv-
ing a long term in the penitentiary.
The Chinaman's wounds are not
dangerous or serious, and he will
easily recover.

MRS. BELLE E. EVANS LOSES
HER SUIT AGAINST A
LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.
The Contention That the Insured
Did Not Make Correct
Answers to Medical
Questions Sus-
tanned.

The following is from today's
Gazette and will be read with re.
gret in this community:
Mrs. Belle f. Evans lost a suit for
$4,000 against the Mutual Reserve
Fuad Life Association, OF New York,
in the United States Court yesterday
morning. Mrs. Evans sued on n
policy for that amount issued ON the
life OF her deceased husband, Wesley
q. Evans.
The insurance ass ociation did not
deny the issuance of the policy, but
contenteded thateertain stlpulations
had been violated, hence the policy
became null and void. 1t alleged
that in the series of questions asked
Evans prior to the policy's issuance,
he did not return correct answers
when asked ii he had ever been afflic-
ted with any Illness, local diseases,
mental or nervous diseases or in
trinity. The association cited the
names Of Pine Bluff and Little Rock
physicians who had treated Evans
for tensilitis, rheumatism, etc., and
contrasted evidence to that effect
with the contrary answers given By
Evans.
After the Introduction of evidence
in support OF the contentious made
by the Insurance association, Judge
Williams instructed the jury to re-
turn a verdict in favor OF the defen-
dant and this was accordingly done.

As was plainly extmRlified in the dis
trict convention Yesterday and still
further in the opening proceedings ol
today 8 gathering, the overshadow-
ing issue is the free silver idea, and
presidential preferences and all
Kindred questions are completely in
gdlfed therein The delegates are a
unit for free silver; the bone of con-
tenti0n is whether the convention
shall send n delegation to st. Lonis
or decline to attend the National
convention. On this question the
delegates have taken sides One
faction, following the counsel and
leadership OF Senator Teller, is in
favor of bolt unless the Republican
party shall declare for free coinage,
while the other and less radical ele-
ment takes Senator Wolcott's view
OF the matter and is inclined to
stretch a few points in their financial
dogma rather than quit the party
ranks. Senator Wolcott's letter de-
filming his position in regard to the
ST. Louis convention has produced
an impression among those on the
other side and the Indications are
tint his views will prevail to the eX-
tent of sending II full delegation To
st Louis. Senator Teller is lighting
to have the delegates instructed to
withdraw il the National convention
refnses to recOgnize silver.

Today shortly after II O'Clock
Wiley Goode. ex-polieeman, ex-depu-
ty constable and a local character
we'll known from the many broils
and disturbances he has kicked up
in this town, walked into the Chinese
restaurant on Main street and
ordered q meal.
This was not Goodies first visit to
the Chinese restaurant. He had been
there many times before and eaten
meals for which the Cinnamon had
received no pay. Therefore, when
Goode walked into Quong Wah's
establishment today and ordered
a dinner, Quong Wah asked for a set
Element of what was already due
him (about 500, and declined to
serve the dinner until it was paid for
in advance.
At this Goode became enraged and
jumped up from his chair, caught
Quong Wah by the pig tall and
began beating him over the head
and in the face with his fist. Quong
W8h tried to defend himself, and
called to his partner. Hung Tom,
who was in the kitchen, to help him.
As soon as he could release himself
from Goodies grasp, Quong Wah
licked up q chair and tried to use it
over Goodies head. At this Goode
ierlled cut his pistol and began
shuoting-firing three times. One
shot was Intellectual, the other
struck Hung Tom, who by this time
had arrived to assist his partner, the
ball going through Toms right arm
above the wrist and lodging in the
left arm about half way between the
wrist and elbow. The third
shot struck Frank l.. Howe, a gun
smith, who was n customer, and at
the beginning Of the shooting was
seated at one OF the tables eating
dinner in the rear end of the restau-
rant. After the beginning Of the
shooting Howe jumped up and at
tempted to run out the front door,
and in doing go received q stray ball
through the stomach. Howe, upon
reaching the sidewalk, was forced
to lie down on account OF weakness.
and soon became unconscious. Be
fore becoming unconscious, however,
Howe made two statements OF the
shooting. One was to the effect that
he had simply received a stray bullet,
and the other that as he was run
ming out, he supposed Goode took
him for Chinaman and deliberately
leveled his pistol at him and fired.
Up until a short time ago Howe
was in the employ of j. I. Lloyd as
II gnnsmith, but recently opened up
little shop on his own account. A
few weeks ago his wife returned to
her home at La Coma, New Hamp-
shire, where Howe intendede to soon
Join her. Today Howe disposed Of
his little shop and was preparing to
join his wife in New Hampshire, from
whom he received an affectionate
letter this morning. As Howe's
wounds are believed to be mortal,
instead of receiving husbands
embrace and kisses within few
days, as she had doubtless antiei-
pated, she will probably receive the
cold and lifeless remains of her hus-
band whose death was caused by no
fault OF his own, but who was rob
bed OF his life by a reckless rufiian OF
murderous instinct.
This is not the first time tioode
has been in trouble, nor the first
time he had created a disturbance
in the Chinese restaurant. For some
time this bully has been imposing
upon these quiet and inoffensive

Editor Pine Bluff Graphic
Sir:-A report has been in circula-
tion for some time in Pine Bluff that
| have been acting in the capacity OF
''spotter" upon the A. P. A. organi-
zation of this city. I wish to say
through the columns of Your paper
that such a report is absolutely false
and that those who affect of their
own knowledge to speak of me as 81
spotter upon said organization, or
as attempting to spy upon the
secret meetings of the A. P. A., tell a
willful and malicious lie.

GRAND JlIRY'S REPORT.
ADJOURNED YESTERDAY AFTER
A LONG AND ARDUoUs
SESSION.
Over 260 Witnesses Examined and
172 True Bills Returned
the Report in Full.

To the Hon. J. NJ. Elliott, Judge of the 1lth
judicial District.
Strive. your Grand Jury for the
Jefferson Circuit Court, Spring term,
1896, beg to submit this, our final re-
port
According to your Honor's instrue-
lions we have made diligent search
into all criminal charges brought to
our notice, and in every ease have
acted after due consideration and in
almost every case the jury have been
practically unanimous in their decis-
ions. While our session has been
longer than we wished it to be, yet
we think we have transacted a good
deal of business.
We have examined 263 witnesses
and returned into court 172 true
bills and discharged Is cases. We
did not go into an examination OF
the accounts OF the various county
officers, but acted upon the report Of
the County Commissioners OF Ac-
counts, which report we attach as Il
part of our report, marked exhibit
"a"
We appointed committee OF five
of our number 10 visit and examine
the county farm and attach their re-
port as a part OF this report, marked
exhibit "B."
We also appointed committee to
visit the county poor house and at
tach their report as part of this re-
port, marked exhibit &c
We visited the county jail body
and we are sorry to have to report
that we did not find it in as clean a
condition as all expected. We would
recommend that the Sheriff e We this
matter his personal attention and
see that it is kept in u better SANTA
ry condition.
We find that very few OF the road
overseers have made their reports
according to law, and that no legal
blanks are furnished them OH which
to make their reports. We would
recommend that the County Judge
have these blanks printed and fur
nish the overseers with them and
they be required to make their re-
ports on said blanks. We would
further recommend that tire County
Clerk receive no reports unless prop
erly made out and sworn to.
In conclusion, we wish to thank
the Court, States Attorney, Sheriff
and Circuit Clerk, and their deputies,
for their many courtesiesextended to
the Jury during the entire session.

will be very few indeed, unless your list
includes but very young men.
1t has been said that every woman
