error, let each advocate Of bimetallism
continue the work. Let all silver clubs
retain their organization, hold regular
meetings and circulate literature.
sour opponents have succeeded in
this campaign and must nowput their
theories to the test. Instead Of talk
ing mysteriouslY about sound money
and AN honest dollar they must now
elaborate and defend a financial sys-
tenn, Every step taken by them should
be publicly considered by the silver
clubs. Our cause has prospered most
where the money question has been
longest discussed among the people.
During the next four years it will be
studied all over this Nation, even
more than it has been studied in the
past.
PREDICTIONS MADE FOR 1900.
"The year 1900 is not far away.
Before that year arrives international
bimetallism will cease to deceive
Before that year arrives those who
have called themselves gold standard
democrats will become bimetalliats
and be with us or they will become
republicans and thus open enemies
Before that year arrives trusts will
have convinced still more people that
trust is q menace to private well
fare and to public safety. Before
that year arrives the evils of gold
standard will be even more evident
than they are now, and the people
then ready to demand an American
financial policy for the American peo-
pie, and will join with US IN the i'm
mediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver
at the present legal ratio Of 16 to /
without waiting for the aid or consent
Of any other nation.-W. J. Bryan"

His Death a Mystery.

Did w. F. Skipper suicide or was he murdered? That is the question the officers of Drew county are endeavor- ing to solve. He was a prominent mill man and planter, and there was no req son why he should take his own life. Skipper was found on the bank of the Bayou Bartholomew, near Baxter, knife was in his hand and his throat cut. He had been in the water, and there was evidence of struggle. His vest hung on a tree near by and noth- ing had been stolen. The place where he was found was guarded till the water receded, and the tracks of man and woman found in the mud. Of the four negroes arrested on suspicion all were discharged but one and the evi- dence against him is not strong.

,.,.Ii.tion to be Rssortsd to If the Cattle
 Quarantine is Not Raised
 Commissioner W. G. Vincenheller, of .h. state bureau of mines, manufactures and agriculture, held a conference ~itb the officials of the state of Mis- souri relative to the rigid quarantine established against Arkansas cattle. There appears to be no valid reason Cor the maintenance of the Missouri quarantine, except, perhaps, to pro- note the home cattle industry and nlace Chinese wall against the inva- sion of Missouri territory by Arkansas c.ttle sellers. Doubtless Commissioner vincenheller laid down the law to the Missouri officials and threatened them with an Arkansas quarantine against Missouri horses and mules if the Mis- souri ukase against Arkansas cattle continues in force. Arkansas is one of the best markets that Missouri enjoys for horses and mules, and the Missou- rians will probably come to their senses when they realize the contingency of an Arkansas retaliatory quarantine.
 The result of the conference was that the Missouri officials refuse to change the cattle quarantine line until Arkan- sas adopts sanitary measures against in- fected districts.

BROWNS ADVICE.
Testimony Of a Young Woman at the Now
Famous Trial.

TdmOuS lTldls
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13. AT the even
ing session of the council before which
Dr. c. o. Brown is being tried only news
paper reporters and witnesses were ad-
mitted. Attorney Nagle, DIR. Browns
counsel. was not permitted to remain In
the room and before departing made sew
eral sarcastic remarks about the manner
in which the trial is being conducted,
which may prevent him from attending
any of the remaining sessions.
The session was devoted 10 the hearing
of the testimony of young lady, a nem-
ber of the church, who swore that some
time ago DR.. Brown threatened to cir
culate scandalous story about her un-
less she should cease her opposition to
him. She said the story was based on
the fact that two years ago while assist
ing in decorating the church, out OF curl
osity, she accepted an invitation of an
organ repairer to go inside the big organ
in the church. She remained but a few
minutes, but met DIR. Brown as she step
ped out. She said she supposed DIR. Brown
drew parallel between this incident
and his alleged meeting with Miss Over
man In lodging house. Dr. Brown ad-
mitted part OF the story, but said he had
never threatened the woman. He said
he told her that her actions on this oc-
casion might be easily misconstrued as
his had and advised her to be more char
liable in her criticism OF him.
