Death of A. 6. Word.

"Adlai Word is dead, u was the sor-
rowing sentence repeated by so many
of Forrest City's best men and women
last Saturday evening, that gentleman
having expired at his home near River
side, Ark, on April l..
No more honest man ever lived than
Adlai; brave, patriotic, and as tender
hearted as babe. Selfshness he alb
horred. In loyalty and fidelity to his
friends he equaled Damon and Pythias.
He was characteristic Kentuckian.
He came to Arkansas in 1872, and for
many years was closely and pleasantly
associated with our people, and when
it was learned by his many friends
here that he had been stricken with
pneumonia, and subsequently that he
had succumbed to the dreaded and ia
tai disease, universal sorrow and SYM
pathy prevailed.
He leaves wife and one child.
Amid large concourse of sorrowing
friends, with tear-stained cheeks, we
registered Adlai as an inhabitant of
the City of the Dead, at Forrest City.
April 3, 1899. We covered his grave
with flowers, and left him in the hands
of just and merciful God.
May that God watch over and pro-
tect the devoted and sorrowing wife,
and his orphaned girl now just bloom
ing into womanhood, and who was
Adlai's idol and in the by-and-by may
they be a reunited household with the
dear children who have preceded them
to the home of God.

GREENBACKS
or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
"If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in tina; country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. Ii will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth Of
all countries will 90 to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR IT WILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE"
The famous Hazard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell.
Bank circular to United States Bank
ers, both emanatlng from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
ST., 500, 900, were the agents that Sc
cured the closing of our minis against
silver.
The "walk into my parlor" policy
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the Latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny Of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
Of wheat, the Spanish War, and iabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding Of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence Of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. II is a paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas

PERMISSION having been granted
him to reply to certain charges recently
made about him to the Senate. Rear
Admiral Schley addressed commune
cation to the committee on naval al
fairs. which utterly refutes them and
nullifies the attempt OF the navy de-
partment to place him In false light.
He shows by dispatch from Admiral
Sampson that he was acting under or
ders from him during the Santiago
campaign, which dispatch has been
willfully suppressed to iDiure him.
Speaking of "the retrograde move

the language OF Admiral Sampson,
characterizes as ''repreheusible con-

the straw that inally broke the cam
els back and awakened the people to
the realization OF the enormity OF the
numberless crimes that had gone un-

assassination was Jacob 5. Keller,
cashier of the freight department Of

of the highest standing, who never

King Mcnamara, a young shoulder

the result of his cowardly work. Gov.
Bradley offered reward OF $500 for his

and to fight crime generally; Judge
Parker ordered a special grand jury to

Great Advertisers.

1t is impossible not TO admire the en-
terprise and talent displayed by the
modern advertiser. No art has ad-
vanced more rapidly in the last 20 years
than that ofletting the customer know
what is in the stores and what Its
adaptabilities are for his uses. The
American leads the world in this impor-
iaut branch OF business. a comparison
of leading European and American
journals easily establishes the fact.
The American advertiser presents his
matter with far more clearness vnri-

Of space and Of pictorial and other en-
