sCoIn" Harvey.

w. II. (Coin) Harvey addressed a
large and enthusiastic crowd at the
Opera House Monday afternoon and
again at the Court House yard at night
The Opera House was filled to over
flowing and many were turned away
The crowd at the Court House yard was
much larger, if anything There was
one peculiar feature of the audiences,
they were mostly composed of farmers
and laboring men and showed that the
question of the free coinage of silver is
paramount to all other questions
agitating the public mind at this time.
There Is general uprising among the
people and the financial question is
uppermost in their thoughts, and the
attempt of the Republican leaders to
divert their attention to the discussion
of the tariff has and will prove failure.
We have never known the great mass of
the people SO thoroughly aroused as at
this time and the party that stands in
the way of the renewal of the free
coinage of silver and gold will be ground
to powder.
Elk Gov. Fishbaek and number of
other Fort Smith gentlemen were over
to the night meeting and felt well
repaid for the efforts made to hear
Mr. Harvey.
The address was not a political one
but in closing he advised his audience to
vote for Mr.. Bryan as the representative
OF the free coinage of silver.

More Fires at Fort Smith.

From the Fort Smith Times Democrat
Fort Smith is having an epidemic of
fires. Following Friday night s fire,
which was more disastrous than was at
first supposed, came another Saturday
afternoon when two dwellings and ten
barns We're destroyed, the path of fire
extending block between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets and between Pine
and Oak streets It occurred shortly
after clock. 1t originated in the
barn of Capt. J. D. Berry and COM
munieated to the other barns on either
side of the alley, the flames gaining
rapidly and licking up everything near
it. The water pressure was very poor
and the firemen were at a disadvantage.
The dwellings were owned by James
Sparks and Mrs. Rutherford and We're
burned to the ground. They were
occupied by A. J. Kendrick and Lee
Slaughter The dwellings of Charles
Jewett, Capt. Berry and Tom Grubbs
were badly seorched. Residences in
that and the adjoining block are close
together and it was feared that the
flames could not be subdued at all. The
loss is estimated at $40, 900, about &C
per cent. covered by insurance. 1t is
thought that ashes from pipe ignited
/ the hay in the Berry barn and caused
the conflagration.

Van Buren, Ratified.

A large crowd of Democrats and
silver men ratified the nominations of
Bryan and Sewall last Friday night at
the Court House.
One of the best speeches made was
that of Berkeley Neal. He has taken
no part in politics for years until now
but is now thoroughly in line for
Democracy and the silver cause, His
speech was thorough and convincing
and was enthusiastically received by
the large audience.
Congressman j. S. Little followed in
thorough argumentative address
Judge Little strikes from the shoulder
in language so plain and simple that all
can understand. He made the speech
of the evening and was loudly cheered.
The speech making was closed by our
Congressman-Hon Hugh A. Dinsmore
in one of his happiest addresses.
The meeting was most successful
throughout.

| Mayor Smith visited the power house OF the
| Water Company yesterday and examined as fal
as possible the quality of water being furnished
the city by the company. He reported the
results of his Investigations to the Board OF
| Health this morning. The Mayor states that
| the pipe which runs into the creek, and through
which the water supply is drawn, does not
extend beyond the mouth ofthe slough running
into the creek and that the pipe is exposed
| above the surface of the water, This being the
| case, the water furnished is not what 1t should
be, for the pipe should be extended fully fifty
feet from where IL now leads in order TO get good
water Ths Board of Health will visit the point
and examine the matter this afternoon
| Venture.
Now that the Mayor and Council have
taken hold of the water question they
should not hold up in their efforts until
the company fully complies with their
contract with the city. To read the
warning notice sent out to the citizens
by the Water Company one would think
there was but one party to the contract.
Let the Mayor and Council see that the
city is protected under the ordinance
granting the franchise.
Our ice factory and the cold storage company
both failed TO supply the demand of our citizens
| for ice yesterday. and as consequence many
had TO do without this necessity And yet each
company three months ago thought there was
one company too many in Van Buren.-Argus
The Van Buren, Ice Co. have never
failed to supply their customers with
ice in any quantity they desired and the
Argus clipping is misleading. At the
opening of the ice season the Van Buren,
Co. engaged their ice to every party in
the city they could at 30 cents per
hundred The output of the company
was largely in excess of the demand of
their customers in Van Buren,.
Consequently they had to look to other
places for market for their ice and
did so. Every pound of ice that was
not needed for their customers here Is
shipped to various points every day and
then not all the orders completely filled.
The parties having contracts with d, j..
Young for ice for the season, and from
whom they have until now been
receiving all the ice they needed. have
no cause of complaint against the Van
Buren, Ice Co. for being out of ice just
at this time with the weather so
excessively hot. This failure of Mr..
Young should be lesson to the citizens
of Van Buren, to patronize home
industry all the time, whether 1t is IN
manufacturing ice, or the iron foundry
or the laundry business. Patronlze all
home industries and we will have less
occasion to "kick ourselves.

The Gazette gives this sketch of the
Democratic nominee for Governor:
Daniel Webster Jones was born in
Bowie county. republic of Texas, in
1899. He was taken to Hampstead
county, Arkansas, when a child.
There he was studying law when the
war commenced In April 1881 he
was chosen captain of a company. The
first battle in which he took part was on
the 18th of August, 1852. He was
elected Major of the regiment and was
in the battle near Corinth, October a,
1862, where he was wounded, the ball
passing through his body near his heart,
and was left on the field as dead. The
enemy took charge of him, he finally
got we'll and was exchanged and
returned to his regiment. For galantry
on the field in this battle he was
promoted to Colonel before he had
reached his twenty third year. AT the
siege of Vicksburg he commanded a
regiment. At the close of the war he
was commanding a brigade. Com
mencing the practice of law Immediately
after the cessation of hostilities he soon

For years Mr.. Watterson was 8

For years Mr.. Watterson was a
staunch advocate of the restoration Of
silver to free coinage. The position of
his paper, the Courier Journal, on that
subject was changed in a night, its
conversion being quite as sudden. if not
so miraculous, as that of Paul. There
fore when Mr.. Watterson cables from
the other side, where he is enjoying
himself amid the delights of European
capitals, that it is necessary to organize
a bolt from the Democratic party in
order to save it from the "dishonor
of carving into effect the very principle
for which Mr.. Watterson contended for
wears, one turns sadly away from a
shattered journalist idol and wonders
what subtle power it was that could
bring Henry Watterson to this degree
of self qualification and make of him an
aid of Mckinley and lackey to the
Painted Harlot of Protection. If we
had doubted before that free silver were
right, we should doubt no longerl-

Allotment Wins Among the Choctaws.

PARIS, Tex. Aug. 10.-Although the
full returns of the Choctaw election,
held last Wednesday, have not been re-
ceived, enough is known to insure the
election of Green McCurtain, the allot
ment candidate for governor, by about
800 majority. He is the third of his
family who have been thus honored.
his brother Jack was governor from
1880 to 1884, and his brother Ed. from
1884 to 1888. Their paternal ancestors
were Scotch Irish, and they are noted
for their physical and mental strength
as we'll as for their courage. 1t is be-
lieved that majority of the council will
favor allotment, and that an early open
ing of the Choctaw country may be
looked for.
