REDEEMING THE LAND.
Already the Good Effects of the
 Smith Bill Are Apparent.

Since the passage of the smith bill the number of redemptions and in quiries looking to the redemption of forfeited lands has greatly increased, as shown by the records of the State land office. Fifteen tracts, compris- ing 93S.5 acres, have been redeemed in Logan county along the proposed line of road, and this is only the be ginning. A citizen Of Missouri formerly | resident of Arkansas, has written to ascertain the amount re- auired to redeem 3,000-aere tract in Arkansas county.

HAWAIIAN QUESTION
England Conservatives Will Cues
 tion Lil's Removal.

WAsHlNGroN, June 24 The Ha- waiian annexation treaty formed the principal topic of consideration by the senate committee on foreign relations at it's brief session yester- day. The treaty and accompanying papers were received and referred to q subcommittee consisting of Senators Davis, Foraker and Nor. gan, with instructions to inycsti. gate the entire question and report to the full committee The papers read included the protest made by Japan against annexation.
 Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has introduced Q bill to regulate the an- nexation of Hawaii 10 the United States.
 The committees on investigation will involve the study Of all Hawaii's treaties with other countries. This inquiry necessarily will require eon= siderable time, and no effort will be made by the full committee 10 take the subject up until the sub com. mittee shall be able 10 report on all details.
 The realization of this fact has led the members Of the eommitte to conclude that 1t is impossible for the committee as q whole to be able to pass upon the subject during the present session. The complexion Of the committee is believed to be s in favor of ratification and 3 against it.

AN OLD CITIZEN DIES.
MT. Maleom eurrie k No More. He Died at His Home Near
 Sulphur Springs.

CuRRIE-1n Jefferson county, Thursday, Jrne 24, 1897, Mir. Nal com Gurrie, aged 72 years.
 The above death occurred at the home of the deceased, near Sulphur Spring, at 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Gurrie had for years been affiict- ed with cancer, and this malady caused his death. He was a good citizen, one respected and honored by all who knew him, and his death is greatly deplored The following is brief biography of the deceased
 Mr. Maleom Currie was born in North Gal olina in 1925, and was a soE Of Daniel and Anna (Ray) Cur rie Of North Carolina, both Of whom were born in 1901. They died with in five miles of their birth place, the father in 1871 and the mother in 1868. They were of Scotch descent, their ancestors having come to the United States some tune before the Revolutionary war, with large number of families who settled in the Carolinas; as might be supposed, they belonged to the Presby yterian Church. Malcom was the oldest Of nine children. He was reared on
 
 the farm in North Carolina, and having received a classical educa- tion in the best schools in the coun- try, at the age of 21 years com menced teaching school In Octo- Der, 1857, he moved to Arkansas, settling near White Sulphur Springs. In 1862 he ceased his pro fessional duties for . time, aud served eighteen months in the Con- federate army on post duty. After the close of the war he resided near Pine Bluff for two years, raising cotton, but soon returned to the place on which he died.
 While in North Carolina Mr Cur rie was married to Miss Eliza Davis, whose birth occurred in that State in 1925. She died in Arkansas in 1861. In 1860 Mr. Cnrrie was elected common school commissioner of Jefferson county, holding the office  eight years. In 1883 he was elected County Assessor, serving one term, and he was a school director many years. He was principal of the Pine Bluff High School, closing his connection with that institution in 1877, which terminated his career as a professional teacher. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
 Perhaps no citizen of Jefferson county occupied warmer place in the affections of the people as an advocate and promoter of educa- tional advancement than the de ceased,

THE CAPTURE OF MARTINEZ.


Floresville. Texas. June 15.-The story
of the capture of Maxine MARTINEZ, the
self confessed triple murderer was made
GERS rode up to the house a boy cried TO
them: Are you all hunting for that man
who was here?" Before an answer came
he said: He is right over yonder," point
ing toward the brush. The officers spread
out and made a dash for the place.
The brush at this place is very thick
and the cactus stands six or seven feet
high. a man on foot as was MARTINEZ, could
keep whole company of cavalry guessing
forever except a streak Of good luck should
happen TO the searChers The fates were
with the officers in this instance All the
officers were riding here and there through
the brush and cactus when suddenly Dep
uty Sheriff Juan Cara of Wilson county
saw head shoot up from the brush.
Quicker than 1t would take n flash of light
ming 10 kill a little pig CARA had his
Winchester pointed toward the head and
had given the command: Throw UP your
| hands,"
The head was the property of Martinez
and as he saw who held the gun he rushed
| toward CARA and held out his hand 10
shake. But Cara shook the Winchester in
his face and told him to stop. At that mo-
ment Deputy Sheriff Wright OF Wilson
county rode up, dismounted and searched
the prisoner. a horse was borrowed from
Mr.. Osborn and the prisoner was taken TO
| Completion. where buggy was secured
The officers who followed the trail so
unremittingly deserve the thanks OF every
citizen of Southwest Texas as also do the
ranchmen and others who supplied them
with fresh horses and food. for neither of
which could the officers lhy.
There is another thing connected with
the capture that deserves mention This
is the second case on record where fusi
tive on foot was captured after he reached
the other side of the Nueces river. When
they get that far toward the land. of lib
erty they are generally as safe, If not safer,
from capture as II they had crossed the Rio
Bravo del Norte.
