OUR BOYS TO THE FRONT.

The first Arkanas Regiment to
which is attached our Texarkana
company, under CAPTAIN Haywood,
will be given a chance to fight in
Porto Rico, or do garrison duty If
the fighting should be over before
they are landed there.
The First Arkansas Regiment has
been assigned to the Second Bri-
gade composed of the First North
Carolina, FIRST Alabama and First
Arkansas. There are five brigades
made up of volunteers now at
Chickimaugua who will go with
this expedition and they will be un-
der the command of Mayor Gener-
al Wade.
AS the officers of the First Regi-
ment Arkansas Volunteers have
been telegraphing to the powers to
move them to the front, we know
they had hot time in camp when
they learned that they would be
given a chance to show that they
went to war to fight and not to be
mere "tin toy soldiers.
We hope that each and every
Texarkana boy will win public mem
tion as to bravery should they get
into fight with the Spaniards,

EDWARD BELLAMY is DEAD.
Author OF "Looking Backward.
Passes Away in Massachusetts.

Author OF 'Looking Backward
Passes Away in Massachusetts.
Edward Bellamy, the author and
humanitarian, died early Sunday morn
ing at his home in Chicopee Falls, Mass,
in the 49th year of his age. Mr.. Bellamy
has been in feeble health ever since he
finished his Equality" some eight months
ago. At the earnest solicitations of his
physicians and family he resolved to try
the effect of the Colorado climate and early
in September last removed with his family
to Denver, Colo, where he was welcomed
by a host of friends. He received, how
ever, little or no benefit from the change,
and since January has been rapidly failing.
1t was in 1883 that his famous book, "Look-
ing Backward" vas published, the sale Of
which up to the present time is over 45O, 900
copies in America and probably over half
a million of copies have been sold in Eng.
land and other countries.
On the 30th day of December, 1891, Mr..
Bellamy, being convinced that it was his
duty to supplement his efforts in "Looking
Backward" by educating the people
toward reform in government, issued the
first number of "The New Nation" a
paper destined to become widely quoted
and influential. He leaves a widow and
two children, besides two brothers, Charles
j. Bellamy of Springfield and Frederick
Bellamy of Brooklyn, N. Y. His funeral
will take place at his home in Chicopeo
Falls, and by his special request will be OF
the simplest possible character.

The tornado which passed through
portion of northwest Arkansas Friday
night did immense damage to property
and caused the death of at least seven per-
sons. Reports of the destruction are com
ing in slowly and it is feared that later
details will add other names to the death
list. The storm came from the southeast,
passing through the great fruit belt o.
the Ozark fruit region, and tore its way
through the southern end of Benton
county, spending its force in the White
River valley. Everything in its path was
destroyed, the greatest damage being done
near Elm Springs, Lowell and Midtown,
the latter place being entirely swept away.
At Elm Springs houses were blown down,
orchards destroyed and stock killed. Ono
man was killed by falling timbers.
Two miles east of Elm Springs a man
named Killingsworth and his wife were
killed. A mile away a farm house occu-
pied by an Italian family was wrecked
and the inmates were instantly killed.
in the vicinity of Elm Springs. One life
was lost near Fort Smith. The home of
w. S.. Kimbrough, near S%pringdale, was
blown down, and Kimbrougn was in
stantly killed. Several other farm houses
were blown down near %Springdale and six
TO eight persons more or less injured.
Some damage was also done at Rogers

No News of a Fight
The navy department has settled down
to quietly wait for definite results in the
naval program in West Indian waters.
Every inquiry is directed toward the loca-
tion of the respective squadrons, and the
chances of an early conflict. But the sum
total of the official advices throws little or
no light on the time when the battle may
occur. 1t is said by those best acquainted
with the situation that a decisive fight may
occur within the next few hours, or it may
not occur for several days, possibly weeks.
At the same the authorities believe the
chance is greatly lessened of Admiral Ger
vera's %prolonging his elusive plan for any
considerable time. There are several rea-
sons for this, but the main one is that the
Spanish ships have made inroads on their
coal supply. The run across from Cape
de Verde used up the greater part, if not
all, of this supply. Since then stops have
been made at Martinique, Curacao and
Santiago, but at no one of these places has
it been possible to take OF more than
enough cole for temporary uses.

Work of Cattle Thieves.

Herman Oehlrich, a prominent stock
feeder and merchant of Columbus, who
owns a large ranch one mile south of Ben
ton, in Colfax County, discovered that
someone had helped himself to two car
loads of cattle. About a week ago parties
head of 2-year-Olds and last week they
took nineteen head of ~3-year-olds. The
parties shipped from Lambert, and as the
stock was billed from Schuyler it naturally
attracted the attention of the local ship
pers, as the party who shipped them gave
the name of Stell and was unknown to
them. They investigated and as a result
the South Omaha commission firms were
notified and payment on the last car was
stopped, although Stell tried hard to get
a small advance on the consignment.

The accidentinsurance companies, which
carried Si3, 900 of insurance on the life of
j. S. Collins, whose mysterious death in
his home in Topeka, Kan, May IS, are
trying to prove that he committed suicide.
The old line life insurance companies,
which carried 5000 insurance on his life,
will insist and attempt to prove that he
was murdered, and by a member of the
family. Between these two the mystery
of the death may possibly be cleared up.
Within the last few days many things
came to light in this most remarkable case
in support of the theory that j. S. Collins
committed suicide. 1t has developed that
instead of bling wealthy, as nearly everone
supposed, Collins wa financially en-
barrassed to such an extent that he bor-
rowed money right and left from friends,
and it is even declared that in some in
stances be reSorted to misrepresentation 10

hard, and he was worried about money
matters so that he could not sleep at night.
Those who belive in the suicide theory
say that the family knew he contemplated
suicide and that was why the son, John,
went home so often from the university at
night, to watch his father and to prevent
his killing himself.

Carbonel, a former Cuban banker. When
Carl Decker went to Havana with the ex-

came Carbonel was at Decker's side dur
ing the entire affair. To Carbonel was
intrusted the duty and privilege of accom-

the usual details of courtship followed,
with the result that a wedding will shortly
take place, probably before Lieut.. Car
