: The chairman Of the committee Of company IL. Forrest City, desires to re- tusn thanks to the numerous friends who contributed so generously to her call for assistance ia Furnishing for the comfort Of the soldier boys toilet articles and money 10 buy same. and to say each of the eighty, four men of company II. as well as officers of same, were provided with the necessary articles and also a nice luncheon for the journey. added to waich surplas of the toilet articles were presented to men of another company. who were in need of the same. If it were in good taste the chair man would like to publish the names of several who were particularly generous in donating. as we'll as working for the sol- 'diers. but it is enough to say many hearts beat in unison, and no doubt the privates as well as officers in command left Little Rock with an abiding faith in her warm besrted citizens.

 The city is amply supplied with water for time to come, but what is needed is reservoir on the hill to relieve the pumps in case of fire. The property owners should aid the city in extend ing the mains to all parts of the city. The abandonment of cisterns and shalloy wells and the free use of this well water will add 50 per cent to the health of the community.

EXCITEMENT RUNS HIGH.
Hardie Sheffield Removed From Hot
 Springs to Malvern.

Hot Springs, Ark, December 15.-Hardie Sheffield was removed this afternoon from the jail in this city to the Hot Springs county jail at Malvern. Wm. Sheffield, ar rested as an accomplice in the murder of Mrs. Horne, is also in jail at Malvern. Ex- citement is at high pitch in the commu- nifty of Hot Springs county, in which the accused lived
 It was with much difficulty that Sheriff Moorehead prevented the lynching of Wm. Sheffield when the human bones were taken from his fire place. The news of the hor rible find spread throughout the neighbor- hood, and before the sheriff could get away with Sheffield there was a howling mob of country people in the yard clamor- ing for the blood of the murderer. Sheriff Moorehead's coolness and his promise to see that punishment was meted out to Sheffield was all that saved the prisoner.
 It developed today that during the past few years several persons have mysterious ly disappeared from the Sheffield neighbor- hood and have never returned. The people here now believe that they have been kill ed by the Shefflelds.

STONE STILL TRUE.
Has Entered Into No Unholy Compact
 With Richard Croker.

Chicago, December 15.-Ex-Governor Wiz liam J. Stone of Missouri was in Chicago today in consultation with democratic lead CTS He left tonight for New York. In an interview he said: Tt has been stated, and the statement has been persistently reiter- ated in the face of positive denial that had entered into some horrible scheme with Mir Croker and others to have the next national convention to repudiate the Chi cago platform and to do divers other dread ful things. AS a matter of fact, never saw MT. Croker in my life and have never had any communication with him.
 "All talk about abandoning the well un- derstood and long established principles of the democratic party so clearly and accur- ately enunciated in the Chicago platform of 1896 emanates only from those whose wish is father to the thought. Among those of us who supported that platform, that is. among the loyal democrats of the country, all such talk is regarded as absurd, which 1t is. The democratic party of the United States is composed of those who support MT. Bryan and will stand on the platform of the party. There are no other kind of democrats"

McKinley's Speech at Atlanta in Keeps
 ing With His Record.

Richmond, Ind, December, 15-GeneraI John B. Gordon. of Georgia. who lectured here tonight, said in an interview concerns ing President McIxinley's speech at At- lanta: ,.
 T have read the speech with much in- terest and was greatly delighted. It was probably . great surprise to some of our people, but 1t was not so to me. I have known President Mckinley for a great many years and have had the profoundest respect for him as man and a patriot. This Atlanta speech is in entire keeping with what I have known to be his liberal impulses toward the south for a number of years. He is very broad man as well a capable one." ',
