Rev T. E. Doran Dead.

Rev. T, I. Dor..n fell dead in bis room at Eureka Springs on last l Friday morning.
 The particulars as we get them are about as follows:
 He had been in I'll health for some time and had been at Eureka Springs tor medical treatment. He got up Frlday morning, dress ed himself and built fire in hls stove, but was complaining ot not feeling so well as usual. Nothing more was seen of him until he was called to break fast when it was found that he was dead, and from all appearances had fallen from his chair instantly dead.
 The sad intelligence was commu- nicated over the telephone by the Masons of Eureka Springs to the Worshiptul Master of the Green Forest Lodge ot which Rev. Doran was member. The message also stated that his remains had been sent to his home near Golden, Mo.
 On account of the down pour of rain. nothing was done Friday toward going to see what the fami- Iy desired the Masons to do, but during the night A. J. Russell left for the home ot the family, and upon arriving there learned that it was a request made by the deceased last spring that he be buried by the Masons.
 Arrangements were at once made to have the body brought to Green Forest, together with the family, arriving here late Saturday after neon.
 Services were conducted Sunday Il a, m. at the Nj. E. s. church by Rev. Matney of this place and Rev. Armstrong of Carrollton. Hon J, P. Fancher, on behalf ot the Masons delivered an eulogy on the life of the deceased brother.
 be body was then conveyed to the Pickens cemetery by the Nj asonic fraternities of Green For est, Berryville and Carrollton and laid to rest with Masonic honors.
 The large concourse of people that attended the funeral attested he high esteem in which Rev. Doran was held by our people.

The rapid decadence OF the silver

driven "Coin" Harvey and his assoc
iates to a mad search for any new
scheme which will catch vote and re-
tain their grip upon that element Oh
the voting population to which they
appealed with the 16 to-1 idea in 1890
A vote is to be taken in the lodges OF
their secret order, known as American
Patriots" on the second Tuesday OF
the next month, upon series OF propo-
sitions with an idea of testing their
popularity. Among the propositions
are paper currency redeemable in me-
tallic money not redeemable at ALL
the demonstration of gold and silver
and substitution of Government paper
money, socialism, single tax, income
tax, direct vote by the people on all
political issues, and the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 1e to WITH
out reference to its actual value in the

The Freshman Contest.

A defamation contest will be held at
the High School Dec. 90, each of the
four classes being represented by two
members. Three prizes of FIVE, three
and two dollars will be awarded. The
Freshman class decided that the best
way to select those who should repre-
sent the class in the final contest
would be to hold preliminary contest
Eleven members of the class took part
in this contest, these members being
nominated by the class.
The con test took place Friday even
ing, Dec. 10. The Freshman class and
teachers of the High School were in
vited to be present. The judges were
Mrs. Hart, Judge Leeper and Rev. Mr..
Boyer. The contest lasted for one
hour and each contestant acquitted
himself with honor.
After due dsliberation the judges
awarded first place to Mr.. Lawrence
Macdonald and second place to Miss
Ada Torner. Mr.. Robert johnson and
Miss Helen Dye were chosen as alter
mates. The members of the class have
reason to believe that with their rep
resen tatiYes they may hope to receive
at least one of the prizes which will be
awarded at the final contest.

Horrible Death.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, Dec. 15.-Brent
Exline, way train brakeman on the B.
& O., met a horrible death on that road
a about 1880 o'clock this morning.
He fell from his train, as it was pass
ing the Long Run grade, falling direct,
ly on the track, the trucks of the
caboose passing over him.
He was terribly mangled and died
almost instantly, life being extinct
when his Mortified comrades stopped
the freight and went back to where
the accident occurred. The dead mau
valued employe of the B. & O., hay
ing been in the service of that road for
several years and was member in
excellent standing, of Lewis Wete1
Lodge, B. of r. T., of this city. he
leaves wife and one child to mourn
his untimely death.
Exline had just returned to work
after long siege of fever.
A peculiarly sad feature of the acci-
dent was the fact that the unfortunate
mans brother, Capt. Thos Exline was
conductor of the train from which the
former fell to his death.

Character who Had n Way for CIR
commenting Inspectors.
Citizens of the Second district Of the
Fourth ward, says the Rochester (N.
w Democrat and Chronicle, are having
considerable fun with q well-known
character of the vicinity who developed
n novel idea of the blanket ballot sys-
TEN of voting, on election day. For the
purposes of this narrative the char
acter NAV be called Tom. He was given
a ballot by the election officers, and re-
tired into one of the compartments to
make his little cross marks. After re-
naming in the booth for time Tom
emerged with self-satisfied air, but
empty handed.
"Where's your ballot?" asked an cleo
ton officer.
"Oh. that's all right" replied Tom.
"I put It In there all right"
"You haven't voted yet: go back and
get your ballot"
"Yes. I have; you can't fool me; l
voted it in there; You can't get sight
at my vote"
After little more argument on the
same line an investigation was begun,
which resulted in the discovery that
Tom had carefully marked his ballot
to his own satisfaction, folded it up and
slipped it through crack in the back
of the booth. From there it had slipped
down into a pile of agricultural imple-
ments stored in the place. and it was
with no little labor and some difficulty
that it was "fished" out and returned to
the would-be voter. who, much against
his will. was obliged to permit the in
spectors to handle it before it was de-
Dosited in the hox.
