Relief in AguinnIdo,s Death.

Manila, May S-The belief is grow
ing that Aguinaldo was killed by the
Igorottis. There is no proof that he
has been alive since Major Peyton G..
March, of the Thirty-third regiment,
abandoned the chase after the Filipino
leader in the Benquet mountains In
4urgent General Tino holds this belief
Tinio held regular communication
with Aguinaldo until Dec %, since
when he has heard nothing from him,
and Tinio thinks Aguinaldo would find
means to communicate with him if
alive. Friends of Aguinaldo's wife as
sert that she has heard nothing from
him since they narted.

withdrew her claim to a seat in the

status of her male colleagues. The
step taken makes the Methodist church
a democratic body; the rule of the
preacher passes with the century. The
episcopacy in the church long since
has been restricted to a superinten-
dence without any authority beyond
the placing of ministers and sugges-

Philadelphia, May 3.-The strike
which was begun Tuesday by the
building trades for an eight hour work
day, with increased wages, has spread
to several additional Industries con-
nected with the building trades. In a
number of trades some of the masters
have signed the workmen's scale, and
the men have returned to work. A
large number of others, however, have
been forced into idleness by reason of
the fact that the operations on which
they were working were blocked on
account of strikes. This was particu-
larly so of bricklayers, who could not
work because of the strike among the
hod carriers. Fully 1000 men who are
employed in the erection of buildings
are out, and the number is likely to
increase.

with line construction or setting up of phones, but the reader may rest assured that the work is not so difficult that one need to hesi- tate on this account if they desire to erect a line. From two up to twelve or fifteen phones can be connected on single wire if the ground circuit system is desired, and it is by far the best for gen. eral use as it very seldom gets out of order, which cannot be said of the metallic circuit. A first class long distance phone will cost from seven to ten dollars. The entire cost of mile line, ex- elusive of labor, native poles to be used, should not be over forty dollars. This estimate includes two instruments and batteries, all set up ready for service. The more phones connected on a sim gle line the less the cost to each subscriber ;

Uniform Primaries.

The recent Democratic Con- vention passed resolutions estab- fishing uniform date for the holding of the primaries in the different counties. If this rule can be forced upon the party it will be of great value to it and just to all candidates. Hav- ing primaries occurring all over the state from February to June is a nuisance, and it's influence upon the result is not good. Too many like to ride in the band wagon, to give each claim fair consid- eration after one man has taken the lead in primaries already held.
 Here are the resolutions as passed:
 1. Resolved by the Democratic party of Arkansas in convention assembled, That a convention of the Democratic party of said state for the nomination of state off cers is hereby called to convene at Little Rock, in said state on the second Tuesdayin June, 1902.
 ?. Resolved, That said con- vention shall be composed of del- egates who are to be chosen by county conventions or primary election, which shall be held in the respective counties on the first Saturday in the month of April, 1902.
 3. Resolved, That meetings, whether conventions or primary elections, as each county may determine, shall be held in the various voting precincts in all townships of the state on the last Saturday of March, 1902, for the purpose of voting for candidates for state offices and selecting del- egates to the respective county conventions to be held on the day designated above.
 4. Resolved, That the state central committee selected by this convention shall be empowered to fix the basis of representation for the respective counties in said state convention, and that said committee be directed to give due notice of these resolutions by fur nishing to the chairmen and sec retaries of the respective county central committees copies of the same at least sixty days before said township meetings are to be held as above provided.

IS TT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
 MedicineS2

From Sylvan Valley News. Brevrad. N. c.
 It may be question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary med icines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medi- cine in our family for twenty years, and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any med icine for cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the in ception of an attack much suffer- ing might be avoided and in very many cases the prsence of a phy- sician would not be required. At least this has been our expe- rience during the past twenty years. For sale by Harbert & Sheldon.

THE CELEBRATION.
Leading Features Were Patriotic
 Speeches and Fire Works.

Speeches and Fire Works. The 124th anniversary of our national independence has come and gone and Green Forest land- ed one of the biggest celebrations in the history of the town.
 Perhaps the biggest feature of the day was the immense crowd that began to gather even the day before. Old timers say it was by far the largest crowd ever as- sembled in the town.
 While the big oratorical guns billed for the occasion were all conspicuous by their absence, yet the day was not devoid of patriot ic speeches.
 The Green Forest Band ap- peared in all it's grandeur, clad in beautiful uniform suits and dis coursed national airs throughout the day.
 At 9:30, a. m., the procession was formed on the square under the command of Capt. l.. E. Har- bert, and the vast concourse of people marched to the Braswell grove, one half mile west of town.
 Rev. Armstrong opened the ex- ercises with prayer, and acted as master of ceremonies throughout the day.
 The Declaration of Independ- ence was read by Miss Cliffie Ramsey, followed by the welcome address delivered by Mayor A. J. Russell.
 Patriotic speeches were made by l.. E. Harbert and J. M. Caldwell.
 After dinner had been served on the ground speeches were made by Hon. John I. Worthing- ton, Rev. Isaac Standlee and Ev- erett Faulkner.
 At night fire works were dis played on the public square, and general jolity and merry making engaged in.
 With heavy force of town marshals assisted by Constable Wells, the very best of order was maintained, there being but few attempts at infraction, when ar- rests were promptly made.
 Lemonade and confectionery stands did a rushing business, aggregating something like a S1 ,O00.

be known till midnight, the count OF the
ballots not beginning until 6 p. m. Inc
day was very quiet, the city having the
general appearance Of Sunday, except Tor
the large number of coaches on the
street hired by the contending parties
to carry voters to the polls free OF charge
Most Of the voting was done early. Some
Of the voting booths had voters waiting
before six O'Clock in the morning when
the elections began. At 10 a. m. probably
half the total number Of Inscribed VO-
tcrs had east their ballots. The election
boards. nearly all of which were composed
of members of the National party, were
extremely contentcd, claiming to be alb
s~olutely sure of winning. The Associated
Press correspondent visited a great many
booths, which were clean and orderly.
There was no confusion, the rows OF vO-
ters were awaiting their turn. The Gu
bans, members Of the boards said, were
conducting the elections in an exemplary
manner, being anxious to show their fit
ness for independence. One booth at CerrO
was the scene of q disturbance. An in
spector OF elections representing Estrada

with a watcher of the National party as
TO the right of a voter to obtain assist
ance in marking his ticket, the Mora
man was taken to the police station.
Up to nine o'clock tonight General
Wood had received nothing but satisfac-
tory accounts from all parts of the island
concerning the behavior of the people
during the elections. General Lee, Cen
eral Wilson and Colonel Whiteside all
make similar statements to the effect that
everything was a model of quietness and
order. MatanZas, CienfuegOs and Santa
Clara are all recognized as overwhelming
~ in favor of the Republican party. 1t is
net likely that the results in Havana will
be known before the hour for closing the
cable. but the Nationalists are claiming
the election by large majorities. The adj
hcrcnts of Mora say that the vote was
very close. Followers of Mora, however
refuse to take bets of 8 to ) and Mora
claims that his chances were hurt by the
issuance of twenty thousand copies of &

circular Mora is quoted as saying tina
after an interview with General Come;
he had decided TO resign. Later in the
day Mora issued a denial of the circular.
