Since early morning the re-
port that a destructive storm
destroyed the town of Fort

the theme of conversation on
our streets the whole day.
kilograms were sent to Fort
Smith for verlfcation of the re-
port, which was of the most
meagre nature. Until 4 p. m.
nothing had been heard from
there, when a special bulletin
brought the following:
--latest advices estimate the
killed at one hundred. Several
squares completely demolished.
Everything confusion"
AS many of our people have
friends and relatives there, the
anxiety to know the result is
most painful.

One of those pleasant remi-
niscences of the late war which.
as time rolls on, will sooner OF
later come to the surface, was
disclosed here on Main street
last Sunday.
Charles Frank. who works IL
the shoe shop of w. Ii. Money
smith. chanced to meet Captain
Sol henson and sought further
acquaintance with him, stating
that he believed he knew him.
Both gentlemen are veterans
of the civil war, the latter hav
ing been captain of a company
i'll the First Louisiana infantry,
while the former was member
of the 4th Independent Battal-
ion of cavalry, which was after
wards consolidated with other
troops and formed into the 18th
Ohio cavalry.
At the battle of Cross Keys,
in Virginia, fought on the 10th
day of May, 1862, these two
forces were engaged against
each other. Upon learning this
fact the two gentlemen became
reminiscent and the following
incident was recalled:
During the battle Henson fell,
shot through the hip and was
picked up by members of his
company, who were retreating,
and leaned against a "A few
minutes later the federal caval-
ry advanced past the place
where Henson was sitting. The
wounded man, racked with pain
and burning with fever, hailed
a blue trooper as he was pass
ing and asked him for water.
The big heart of the trooper
was touched and his noble soul
responded to the call of dis
tress; the man in blue handed
his canteen to the man in gray
and bade him drink. Thus
Captain Henson and Charles
Frank met for the first time.
The fortunes of war soon gave
the confederates their original
position and Henson was saved
from capture.
After thirty-fve years they
met again last Sunday, and a
Joyous meeting it was.

False to Its Pied ges.


Such influential Republican news
papers as the st. Louis Globe Demo
craft and the Chicago Tribune are
beginning to vigorously score the
present administration for it's action
in persistently ignoring the Cuban
plank of the st. Louis platform
This plank, in express language,
commits the administration to the
cause of Cuban Independence; but in
spite of the fact that more than
twelve months have elapsed since
President McKinley's inauguration,
not one step has been taken in this
direction.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
which has persistently upheld the
present administration in most of its
party measures, goes SO far as to
state that less consideration has
been shown to the Gubans since the
adoption of the st. Louis platform
than prior to that time.
Not less caustic and to the point is
the language of the Chicago Tribune
Without mincing words this loyal
Republican newspaper severely up
braids the administration for it's
temporizing attitude toward the
Gubans, and furthermore, charges it
with being indirectly responsible for
the blowing up of our American
battleship.
