John ~. Atkinson.

We learn that Mr., John
w. Atkinson, an old Sharp
county boy, is a candidate
for representative in the
General Assembly from
Saline county before the
democratic primary with
good prospects of election.
Much of Jno, Atkinson's
boy.hood was passed in this
town and county. He was
chiefly educated in the old
Evening Shade College and
began his trade, that of a
bricklayer and contractor
here; he was distinguished
for his probity of character,
integrity and uprightness
through all the years he
lived here and was particu'
larly noted for his thorough
ness in every enterprise he
undertook. He is a life
long democrat, was always
an active worker in the party

ment. If the good people of
Saline county will honor him
by making him her repre-
sentative she will be well
served and all the older
democrats Of Sharp county
will have occasion to make a
profound bow of gratitude to
Saline's democracy.

Ehe FrObscpsR Solved.

The Mississippi County
Democrat gives the follow
ing solution to the greatest
question now before the
South:
Let the proposition be
fairly made. 1t is said by
the greatest economic writer's
that there can be no such
thing as overproduction of
food and fabric so long as
people are hungry and need
clothing. Commissions have
been appointed and treaties
nego lated to encourage the
use of American manufact-
ures abroad; conces Sious have
been made to Germany and
France to prevent them
from discriminating against
American meat and bread
stulTs, but the American
cotton-grower whose product
brings in nearly as much
money as all other exports
comblned--is not only left
defenseless in the markets of
the world, but Disseminated
against and robbed at home
through the contrivance of
his own government, Be-
sides being taxed to enable a
mere handful OF people to
pile up enormous fortunes,
a Chinese wall has been
erected between the cotton
grower and nearly his only
customer, and every effort
has been made to destroy by
taril legislation the foreign
market Of every farmer IN
the land. This is the situa-
ton. Now for the solution;
"Instead of seeking to
limit the production let the
cotton and mercantile eX.
of the country move
NJ congress, and demand in
tumistakable terms that the
government shall
ease to bolster UP uuprodt. .

WILL BE BURIED AT ARLINGTON.
n Military Funeral to BE Given Capt
Allyn n. Capron.

The remains of Capt. Allyn K Capron
and Sergeant Hamilton Fish, who fell in
the first fighting in front of Santiago, left
Santiago "Wednesday. and it was expected
would reach this country late in the week
The body of Hamilton Fish will be buried
in New York city by the side Of his grand
father for whom he was named
The remains of Captain Capron are to be
inferred at Arlington.
Steps are being taken to have a military
funeral in accordance with the rank of the
young officer, who died as he had wished,
on the battlefield. As he was bidding his
father beod-bye, when they separated to
take different vessels at Tampa, his father
remarked to him: "Do you know you may
never return to your native land?'
He replied: We'll, father. if / have a
choice of deaths. L want to die on the bat
tlefield at the head of my company. leading
IL on to victory
a monument will be erected to his mem
ory at Muskogee, Indian territory.
The governor of Indian territory, Mr.
John r. Thomas, who knew Allyn from the
time he was three years old, has written as
follows to the widow of the officer at Fort
Sill. Oklahoma:
Words cannot express the length the
depth, the breadth of the sorrow L feel over
the news which come to me by wire that
your gallant husband, my adopted son.
Capt. Allyn K. Capron, Troop L, lst United
States Volunteer Cavalry, fell while gal
lantly leading his troop the 25th instant
against a force of Spauiards double the
number Of his command.
Captain Capron was to me an ideal SOL
dier-brave. true, chivalrous, handsome
Our personal acquaintance was not of long
duration, but l have known his father for
many years, and knew him as strapping
youth at Old Point Comfort. l was a mem
Der of Congress when he was a visitor to
his father during his collegiate vacation.
My son is the first lieutenant of Troop
L, and in the unfortunate but glorious
charge, where your husband lost his life,
my only son, John r. Thomas, jr., was
seriously wounded in the right leg. Capron
died as did Marco BozZaris, and 1t may be
said of him as was said OF that proud Gre
clan patriot: His is a name that was not
born to die
My wife and daughter and all the many
friends he made while here join me in
sending their profoundest coincidence, and
with you, feel proud of his glorious life and
more glorious death for his country. | in
tend to see that proper monument is
erected to his memory here at Mushogee
as he was the leader OF our Indian terrific
ry forces, and upon that monument there
shall be inscribed the legend: He was a
man without fear and without reproach.'
We loved him for his sunny disposition his
manly traits, his soldieriy qualities, his
dash and chivalry. Oh, how poorly can
this age and generation spare such men!
But he is gone. Peace to his ashes and
may great country recognize his spotless
character, his ideal and Incompatible gal
lantry and his distinguished services
with heads bowed in sorrow We and all
his friends send you this tribute from our
hearts,"

LIEUT.. BLANDlN'S DEATH
Nervous Shock Kills an Officer Who Was on
the Maine.
He Never Recovered From the Ter
rible Experience on the Night
of the Explosion.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nc, July 16-Lieut. John
J. Blandin, United States navy, died at
the Sheppard-Pratt Hospital today. Lieut..
Blandin was the watch officer on the bat
tie ship Maine when it was destroyed in
Havana harbor in February. He has been
weeks undergoing treatment for nervous
trouble brought about by his experience
when his ship was blown Up.
The terrible night of February Is was
forever before him. He constantly called
out that the ship has been fired upon,
gave orders to his men and made reports
to Capt. Sigst ee.
Lieut.. Blandin was also with the Ameri-
can feet at the time of the Samoa catas-
trophe.
Lieutenant Blandin, after giving his tes-
timony before the board Of inquiry at Key
West, was assigned to duty at the United
States photographic Office in this city. His
wife and two sons lived here, and 1t was
thought that the comparatively light duties
would aid in restoring his nervous system.
This did not prove to be the case, how
ever, and from the day of his return to
his home in this city his friends noticed q
marked change in his demeanor.
On july 1 he broke down under the strain
and was removed to the hospital His wife
was with him constantly. but for the past
week he has been unable to recognize her.
1t was hoped until yesterday that he might
recover, but his illness took an unfavorable
turn and last night his physicians gave
UP hope.
