Obituary..

JEFFERSON WILLIAM DowD, aged
26 years, died on Monday, May
10, 1899, after an illness of two
weeks.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Williams, of En-
porium. Interment in West Creek
cemetery. The deceased had been
a resident of Beechwood nine
years. On December oath he was
united in marriage with Miss
Myrtle Morrison, an excellent
young lady of this place. "Jeff,"
as was Familiarity called by his
friends, was a reliable, honest man
and he possessed the virtue of saying
only that which was good and kind
of all persons. His genial and
kindly disposition won for him a
host of friends, and at his burial
a great concourse of neighbors and
friends paid their last tribute of
respect to his memory, by their
presence. The young widow, who
will remain at her home in this
place, and the father, brother and
sister who reside at Little Mea-
dows, Pa, have the sympathy of
all their friends. Thus one by
one, earth's treasures leave us for
the other shore, where we hope to
meet them in more beautiful sur
roundings, in that land where all
is joy forever and where sorrow
can never enter. #.#

UNDER A BIG TENT-Uncle TOMS
Cabin. For the hundredth time, and
then some, the resultless effort of try
ing to explain why the people will
never cease going to see Uncle Tom
might be made here and as usual fail.
1t is fact that more people have seen
this play in America than have ever
seen any other play. OF course, as a
basis of why, il might be said that
more people have read the book upon
which it is founded than ever read any
other book, the Bible excepted; but
this explanation does not explain why
hundreds of people in every community
go to see this play as often as opportu-
nifty presents itself. Other plays have
as much pathos, as much tenderness,
more comedy, better tragedy. 1t may
be that the key is found in this, that
none deal SO much with human liberty.
Be that as it may, age adds to Uncle
Toms Immortality
The excellent Forest Company will
! appear at Emporium, Thursday, June
1st, in Uncle Toms Cabin.

Yale hit the Dust,

New Haven, Conn.,, May l4.-Harvard
won a decided victory over Yale in the
annual dual athletic games and as a result
comes into permanent possession OF the
long fought-for trophy cup, having won
the games five times to Yale's three. Har-
ward won by superior form. Despite the
heavy track and the inclement weather
conditions the time on the whole was
good. There were about 1000 spectators
on the bleachers when the games began.
Throughout the games showers made con-
ditions disagreeable. The performances of
Boardman, the young Yale freshman, be.
come remarkable when considered in the
light Of these conditions. In the 220-ya d
fiat he came down the LAST 25 yards ful, y
four yards behind Quintan, the Harvard
crack, but pulled away from the bunch
and finished six inches to the fore, win
ming what seemed to be a sure race for
Harvard.

General Gomez adds that he had ar

ficially, but he felt he could no longer
represent the Cuban army because a cabal
composed of many of the subordinate com

defeat the plans for partitioning the
money.

Had n Desperate Fight.

Valladolid, Spain, May IA dispute
between student and a naval cadet led
to a desperate fight between the students
of the University of Valladolid and cadets
on the Promenade Acera yesterday. The
students used sticks and chairs and the
cadets fought with their swords. Trades
men were obliged to close their shops dur
ing the affay. A number of the combat
ants were injured before officers inter
vened and subdued them. The fight was
renewed in the evening when workmen
took the part of the students, shouting,
Long live the people"
Several cavalry officers also Joined in
the fray, which continued until the gen.
darmes charged and dispersed the crowd
Several people were wounded and one
death has resulted. Fresh disorders are
feared.
There was a renewal OF the rioting to-
day and three students and four cadets
were badly wounded. The gendarmerie
finally quelled the disturbance.

Otis Goes Right Ahead.

In his dispatch Gtnelal Otis shows, de-
spite the fact that Aguinaldo states his
purpose to send commission to arrange
peace, he is making preparations to con-
tinue military operations.
1t is evident to the officials that Otis
has found it necessary to change his
plans. lie has been making preparations
to attack Bacolor, where 5000 insurgents
are believed to be camped, and it is pre-,
sumed that the movements reported to-
day still have that point as their object.
General Lawton is making excellent p. O..
gress in his northward march and the dis
patch of Major Kobbe with 1900 men up
the Rio Grande, supported by gunboats
and canoes, is with the purpose OF enab-
Ing Lawton to cross the Rio Grande wi h.
out molestation by the enemy. The PIN
apparently contemplates the rapid swing
ing of Lawton in the west, General Mac
Arthur to remain at San Fernando be-
tween the insurgents at Bacolor and those
at Mexico, and Kobbe is to take station
so as to prevent them from crossing the
Rio Grande. Macarthur is also needed at
his present point to protect communica-
4, n with Manila.

1t is estimated at the navy department
that Dewey will reach the United States

For that Definite Purpose-will be no

the ighting-MaoA Arthur and Lawton

New York, May ia special from
Washington says:
\ satisfactory conclusion is expected by
the administration from the conference
which will be held by the American
Philippine commission with the Philip.
pine commission Aguinaldo proposes to
send to Manila.
In his dispatch to the war department
General Otis announced that Aguinaldo
had sent a messenger to him expressing a
wish to send the commission ito arrange
terms of peace"
The administration officials express the
opinion that this commission will submit
TO President Schurmn and his associates
the answer of Aguinaldo to the PROPOSE
tions made by the American commission
TO Colonel Argueles, Aguinaldo's emissary,
regarding the character Of the terms which
would be given the Filipinos and which
Argueles declared was sati-fActory.
1t is probably apparent to the Filipinos
that there was nothing 10 be gained by
conducting negotiations for the purpose
OF obtaining a temporary cessation OF hos
tilities. General Otis will not grant an
ar1nistice and he has shown that he does
not propose to stop fighting, no matter
how many peace ennis aries Aguinaldo will
send to Manila, unless they agree to un,
conditional surrender.

TO ENLARGE ROUNDHOUSE.
THE CONSTANTLY INCREASING
 BUSINESS NECESSITAES IT.
MIR. GILLIAN PRAISES MENA,
Additional Evidence of the Perma- nency of Mena as the Division
 Point on the Pittsburg & Gulf.

It has been apparent for long time. that as the midway division point on the great Port Arthur route, the roundhouse here was not large enough to house half the engines in use, and that at some time 1t would have to be en- larged.
 During General Manager Gillham's s stay in Mena, yesterday, he took occa sion to personally inspect the railroad yards and roundhouse, the latter with a view to see how best it could be en- iarged; and to Townsite Agent Landes he stated that if a portion of the street at the west side of the rouadhouse could be vacated he would order crew of men with necessary appliances to blast away the hlll at that point, and double the size of the roundhouse.
 Later Tn the day Mayor Hamilton had an int erview with Mir. Gillham in his priva te car and after talking the situation over, Mr. Gillham was assur- ed that whatever might be needed of the city to help carry out the changes desired. would be cheerfully granted Mr. Hamilton further stated that Alderman McMahon was the chairman of the street committee and he felt sure that he would give the matter his attention when asked to do so and re. port to the council
 Prior to starting on his return to Kansas City, Mir. Gillham spoke in warm praise of Mena stating to arepre- sentative of the Star that every time he came, he was surprised at the rapid and substantial growth made and that he had always said and believed that Mena would make big town. yet he was surprised at the growth made, as he saw it while riding around town during the day.
