Telegram 0-Senator Thurston addressed a
large and enthusiastic meeting al Water
mans hall in this city this evening. Judge
Sullivan presided and introduced the
speaker. The senator discussed the issues
OF the day in candid and logical manner.
He took up the money question to some eX-
tent, recalled Bryan's prediction OF disaster
" the gold standard was continued and
showed how they failed. He discussed the
trusts and defined the republican position
OF opposition to all unlawful and oppressive
combinations Of capital and showed that re-
publicans have always opposed any combna-
tion intended to interfere with competition
in business or to decrease the price Of labor
or increase the price of things the people
buy, but denying the policy Of attacking
combined capital used in lawful ways and
for legitimate and beneficial purposes. The
republicans expect to elect the entire county
ticket.

THE LEAGUE REFUSED
To Endorse the Plan of Messrs.
 Smudd and Armstrong.

A special m eeting of the Executive Committee of the Com mereial League was held at the Leagues rooms on Pine street Wednesday, night to con slider the proposition of Messrs. Smudd and Armstrong relative to issuing under the Leagues auspices an illustrated write-up of Pine Bluff in pamphlet form.
 Mir. Smudd presented his plan to the eommittee and after he had been given respectful hearing the League declined to indorse the scheme, for the reason that it was Of too expen- siye 8 character and Of 8 circulation too indefinite and uncertain as to receive their Endorsement. h addi- ton to the other expense the fact that 1t could not Le entered at the postoffice as eecond-class matter would also make it too expensive to send out through the malls, the League thought. 1t was also the consensus of opinion of tie League that the Pine Bluh newspapers are amply able to give the city all the advertising it needs in every respect, and it was suggested to Messrs. Smadd and Armstrong, 80 We are in- formed, that it would be much bet ter if the promoters of the enterprise would direct their efforts to getting up a souvenir edition of some one of thelocal papers, instead of issuing a pamphlet, as they proposed.
 In it's action the Commercial League has again demonstrated the fact that it is ever on the alert in the interest of our people sand is amply capable of taking care of Pine Bluffs interests.

DIR JORDAN SUING THE AR KANSAS 6 TEXAS ICE AND
 COAL COMPANY.
ICE WAGON AND BUGGY
In the Case-Damages Asked in Sum of s32o-Negligence
 Charged on Both Sides.

Jordan against the Arkansas & Texas Consolidated Ice and Coal Co.,, is heinz tried. Alp bearing for the plantiff is Mes SITS. White & Altheiner, for the defen- dant company Messrs. Austin & Taylor.
 The case is one for damages in the sum of $320 The complaint alleges aoout the following. That on the 18th day of August, 1899, pr. A. c. Jordon was the owner of two horses of tne value of $250, one buggy of the value of $50, and set of double harness valued at S25. He used the same in the practice of his Drofes sion. That on the day as above set forth he visited the home of John $. Bell, corner of Fourth and Oak streets. That he alighted and went in the house leaving his buggy and team in charge of hls driver.
 nr. Jordan further alleges in his complaint that the ice wagon drawn by mule and driven by negro, was at the time driven so carelessly aud negligently, that it knocked bis buggy oyer, throwlngs the driver out, dragging tbe buggy for some distance and frightening the horses. The runaway thus caused by the ice wagon running in to his buggy broke his buggy ana harness, so the complaint alleges. The further damage alleged to have been done by this accident is that, it destroyed the usefulness of said horses in his business, and that he has been damaged in the sum Of $320. He prays judgment for same in court today.
 The Arkansas & Texas Consoli- dated Ice < Coal Co.,, through it's manager. Mr. Jeff Hicks, denies the statement and charges so made in the Doctors complaint. The de. fendant company alleges in it's an swer that if any damages has been done, it was due to the driver of Jordar's s buggy.

It might have tendency to cause young men like Evans to pursue the annals of criminal his tory by placing them in the peni- tentiary so young, and upon this, no doubt, leniercy was given Evans.

LOST HIS LANTERN
But Saved His Life-Negro Brake
 man on the Valley.

Last night between the hours of F and l o'clock, on the tracks of the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern, at this place, an accident happened, which came very near causing one of the train crew, a colored brakeman, to lose his life.
 The train, as is customary, was cut in two, as it is put in railroad parlance; one negro brakeman whose name we were unable to as certain, was under the car arrang ing the brakes, when the fore part of the train was backed, hitting the car underiwhich the brakeman was, fortunately for him his lantern caught and he rolled from beneath the car, losing his Ian tern, but say ing his life.
 The fellow was scared so bad that he turned almost another color from that which nature gave him.

THE CUBAN LEADER AT TACkS THE AMERICAN
 ADMlNlST RATION.
HE WANTS INDEPENDENCE.
Says the Cubans Have Fought and Would Fight
 Again.

HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 7.-Tuesday in public speech, General Maximo Gomez, the famous Cuban leader, at- tackled the American administration ia Cuba, and said the Gubans had fought before for independence. and, if need be. would fight again.
 The speech created great sensa- ton.
 For some time there has been re- ports Of cret meetings between differen6 Cuban leaders, and ru- mors of a rising come in regularly. It would now appear that Gomez has decided to join the dis turbing element of the island. and. if the United States congress does not take action looking to the granting of complete independence, intends to- fake the field.
 American army officers here believe that Gomez, who is a willy politician, is simply taking for the benefit of congress, hoping to fright en that body into granting indepen- dence at once rather than bring involved ih another war. Gomez, in the event of uhan republic, ex- D, cts to be it's first president.
