A GOOD JUDGE DEAD.

Fort Smith, Ark, Nov. H.
Judge /. G. Parker, the famous
Arkansas jurist, died at his home
in this city at 2:30 o'clock this
morning of Bright's disease.
Judge Parker was famous all

imposed the death penalty upon
more criminals than any other
Justice in the United States. For
81 years he had presided over
the court without missing a day.
Week before last he was seized
with an attack of heart failure,
but rallied. Friday, however, he
was again taken seriously i'll, but
withstood the attack and imprOv-'

degeneration of the heart was the
cause of the first attack and was
augmented by Bright's disease
with complications.

ed to Chicago of his own accord.
COOney reached the city Satur-

neyings or his movements during
the half dozen years which have
elapsed since he fled after the
discovery of DR.. Cronin's body in
the manhole of the Lake View
Sewer. COOney is stopping at a
house on north side, near his for
mer haunts. His friends say he

why he should longer avoid Chi
cagO.

as "COoney, the Fox" is the man
whom Mrs. Andy FOy accused of
being implicated in the Cronin
murder. In her story of the crime
Mrs. Foy told how the conspira-

perform the murder. Cooney, she
claimed, being unmarried, agreed
to take her husbands place, since
Foy had a wife and a large fami-
ly of children.

from a notice in a paper, and in
reply was assured that she would
accept him. The white haired

4 POLITICIAN LIBELLED.
Congressman Hess Wants $780,
600 From the Press.

New York, Nov. 17.-Charles
\. Hess, the late candidate for
congress, in the Twelfth district,
who was defeated for that office
by George b. Mcclellan, has be-
gun an action for libel against
the New York Press, claiming
$4,000 damages. The alleged IL
bel arises out of the charges made
by the United Press that he paid
$4,000 to Amasa Thorton and
others for the purpose of procur-
ing his Hess nomination and use
in the district to purchase votes
for him on election day. The
Press declared, the complaint al
leges, that Hess was nOn-resi-
dent in the district, and, it is al
legged, made other charges, which
are made ground of the suit.

A CABINET POSITION.
TEXAS REPUBLICANS WANT REP
RESERVATION THIS TIME.
DR.. Grant Said to Have a Splendid Show
ing to Be Our Next Post
Master General.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 17.-(Spe-
ciaD-It seems as though Texas
was to have a place in the Nc
Kinley cabinet this year for the
first time in the history of this
country. At least Texas will have
the representation if the voice of
the people is heard, for they are
now rapidly declaring themselves
as to their preference and the
like. Their preference is un-
doubtedly John Grant, of Sher-
man, and they seem determined
to get him the position of post
master general if such is possible.
While his friends in the northern
portion of the state are busy at
work trying to get his name as
well known and as popular in
Canton as in Texas, his friends
in Austin and all the southern
portion of the state are equally
as busy. Many of the influential
Republicans of this and other
southern cities say that Texas
has never before asked for a cab
met position for the reason that
they did not expect nor want one
because they had no man fitted.
for it. Now, however, the situa-
ton is entirely different. Texas
wants representation for the rea-
son that it's the biggest state in
the Union and will, the Republi-
can leaders claim, go Republican
in 1900 if they have sufficient
backing in the way of a leader.
They claim that they have that
leader now in the parsonage of
John Grant and they want him
given this high position, as his
merits and the Importance of the
state as a political factor de,
mand. They claim. that with
Grant leading them four years
from now that the state can be
carried for Republicanism and
that none but John Grant can do
it. They think that he should be
in the cabinet for the reason that
his presence there would be ben
eficial to McKinley's administra-
ton, beneficial to the people of
the United States and would be
pie of the United States andcmh
but just appreciation for his Ia
bOrs during the past and the
and the future in this the biggest
state in the Union. Texas will
be a big factor in politics four
years from now and her people
are anxious that she should be
recognized by the national Re
publicans in time for the state
leaders to gain prestage for the
battle. They want John Grant
as a member of the cabinet and
to that end are now holding meet
ings or at least will in the
next few days to endorse
him for the postmaster general
ship and urge his appointment
by Mckinley. As yet Grant
knows very little of this move
ment. The people of Texas pro-
pose that when he does hear it
the noise will be a mighty one of
victory. Such it will be Judging
from the way the Republicans of
this section are talking, all of
whom are saying that John
Grant will certainly get the po>
sition, as they will send the
strongest petition from the great
est state in the Union and Nc
Kinley will doubtless see his way
clear to please the million of Tex
ans who will four years from now
be looking for the election
booths.

That may look as if he has come TO
