Road building is vexatious

mistake is made Of permitting in.
dividual interests to interfere with
public rights. The average Aneri-

worthy of a better cause. The
government gives the selfish man
a homestead and he will meanly
contend with the public against

The farmer who obstructs travel

The Presidents Message.

President McKinley's last mes.
sage to the Fifty-ffth congress is,
perhaps Disappointing to the mass
ss of thinking people. 1t is not,
in any sense, discordaut with the
well defined political policies Of
the administration. II is disap-
pointing because too much was ex.
pected Of the President, aud not
because the President failed to do
bis whole DUTY in the premises.
Mckinley has inaugurated a con.
sentative executive policy that is
safe aud strong.
The history Of the war with
Spain illustrates a new executive
policy. This departure from the
arbitrary methods Of his predeces-
GOV, has distinguished President
Mckinley. o. every important
issue since the war became iinmi-
nent, McKinle, has lead the PEG
pie up to the issue. acquainted the
public with tn plans and invited
them to act with him in the pro-
D,otioD Of public Interests.
This policy Is manifest in the
presidents message. He advances
conservative ideas On all pending
issues aud waits for the support Of
the people.
This policy is miscous,yued by a
fanlt6ndIug opposition. The pres.
ident Is charged with indecision
while he deserves the credit Of
wisely inaugura,ing a new execu-
tive policy. the policy Of leading
the publicity wisely directing
public sentiment to a better under,
standing Of questions Of state and
to broader and stronger support
than could be gained by arbitrary
commitment of his party and his
administration to his own plans
More than any other president.
Mckinley has been called upon to
,a.e' great questions. Had he not

takes would have been PROBABLE

Mrs. A. D. Terry Dead.

Mrs. Abb d. Terry, who has been
sick for quite while, died last
night at an early hour.
Mrs. Terry spent the past spring
in San Antonio, under one of the
leading physicians there, who did
all in his power to restore her to
good health, without avail, aud
after much suffering she passed
away.
Mrs. Terry was member of the
Maple street Presbyterian church
and was a consistent Christian, a
good wife and a watchful mother.
She was a splendid neighbor-well
thought of by all. She leaves a
husband and three children to
mourn her loss.
The funeral services will be con-
dacted at the residence, 92O Maple
street, at o'clock p. M, interment

today the day trains will run only
between Pine Bluff and Texarkana,
but the night train No. 4 will run

the stringent quarantine regulation

The Osceola Times says: "At the
time of the declaration of war with
Spain, Uncle Sam, bless his old in
nocent soul, was, strictly speaking,
on a peace footing. Without eth
er an army or navy to speak OF, in
in less than three months he
brought proud old Spain to her
knees at his feet. Such feat Of
arms was so much of a surprise to
the foreign powers, who are bur
dened to the verge OF destruction
with national armaments and stand
ing armies, that at last civilization
is asking the question, docs all this
tom fooery and pageantry really
tend to preserve the peace, and Sc
cure happiness and prosperity to
humanity" The Car of Russia,
who, like his predecessors, has al
ways had chip on his shoulder, and
ready to fight on the least provoca-
ton, is the first to propose an In
ternational Peace Conference, with
the view of terminating the pro-
gressive increase of armaments,
which is crushing all nations Of the
earth"

WILL DRIVE OUT AGU|NALDO.
General Otis Gave Aguinaldo
"a Hours TO Vacate the
Suburbs Of Manila.
THE PRESIDENT IS DISTURBED.
Should Agulnaldo Show Fight, the
President Will Send 81, 900
Additional Troops.

Washing ton, September Pres
ident Mckinley fears trouble with
Aguininaldo, the Philippine insur
gent chief. Today he is in receipt
of a message from Major Gen. Otis,
in command of American troops at
Manila, that Aguinaldo had been
given twenty-four hours in which
he must leave the suburbs of that
city. Should he fail to do so, Gen.
Otis will drive him out by force.
This message has most alarm
ing effect. If a shot is fired against
the insurgents it means the immedl-
ate reinforcement of Gen. Otis
command by at least 10000 volun-
teers. Mastering out will be stop
ped and an army will be hurried
across the continent to San Fran
cisco and from there to Manila as
rapily as possible to convey it.
Once begun, there is no telling
when this war will end.
Reports from Manila have shown
for some time that Aguinaldo was
very restless and inclined to push
himself where he was not wanted.
When Gen. Merritt arrived at
Manila with the last reinforcements
just before the city was cap
tured, he found it neces-
sary to make an authori-
tative stand with the inSurge Mt
chief. He ordered his men out of
the trenches and marched in the
Astor battery and the California
volunteers. Since then troubles
have accumulated and from the
tenor of Gen, Otis's cablegram
they have reached a point beyond
endurance.

1T MADE HIM WEEP.
But He Gave His Daughter with Clear
COneclonoo

But He Gave His Daughter with q Clear
Conscience.
Delaney Wallingford hesitated with
the hand upon the knob of the door to
the private Office, says the Cleveland
Leader. He was about to ask Henry
Faversham for the hand of his beauti
full daughter. For moment the young
man was inclined to procrastinate, but
he drew himself together at last and
walked in. The rich man received him
kindly and asked him to sit down. Be-
fore Wallingford had begun upon the
subject that was nearest his heart,
however, the voice of Mrs. Faversham
was heard in the outer Office and her
husband requested his visitor to step
into an adjoining room until the lady
had got through with him. "Look
here!" said the mother Of the only girl
that Delaney Wallingford had ever
loved, as she rushed into her husbands
presence, II want you to give an ac-
count of yourself! You didn't get
home until long after the hour set
for you last night, and you have
guilty look. Who's that young woman
out there in the front ofice-that
brazen thing with clothes that are too
rich for any working girl to wear?
Where do you intend to take your
lunch today? I'm going to go along
with you! Here, need $3.50. Indorse
this check. Let me see those letters
in that pigeon-hole! You're up to
something, Henry Faversham, and I'm
going to find out what it is! Discharge
that girl out there and get homely
one! I'll be down here again tomor-
row to see whether you have obeyed
my orders or not. When you get home
tonight-and see that you're on time
XII have some more to say to you. Re-
member, expect you to come to Muir
kle's for lunch. I haven't time to talk
to you this morning, Give me those
letters you have in your pockets"
One of her lady friends was waiting
for her outside in the carriage, so she
had to leave him long before she had
finished her remarks.
When Mc. Faversham was alone
again Delaney Wallingford returned
and sat down in front Of the benevo-
lent-lcoking old gentleman who asked
him to proceed with the business in
hand. "Your daughter, Gladys" the
young man said-"we love each other.
have come to ask you for her" There
was deep pity in the look that Henry
Faversham bestowed upon his visitor,
and, after a long silence, he said: GIVE
always had a sort of liking for you.
I've thought you were pretty sensible
sort of chap. You heard what was said
in here few minutes ago, didn't your
Delaney confessed that he had heard
it all. well, all right, then. My
conscience is clear. Take her, and
may the Lord have mercy on your
soul. Her mother was sweet and timid
once" When they shook hands De-
lancey Wallingford saw tears in the
old mans eyes.
