MORE O'SULL|VANS TIMOTHY VS. TIMOTHY WRONG STATEMENTS BY
 JUDGE CARTER. A MIXING OF THE MIXED.
Florence O'Sullivan Died 1ntestate and Leaves a Big Estate
 That Causes Trouble.

A Graphic reporter called on Coun. ty Judge ". D. Jones this (Tuesda4) morning to inquire as to the cor rectness of the statement made in our columns recently by Judge H. G. Carter, of Mound City, H., who says be is here represen sing the heirs of the late Timothy O'Sullivan, whom, he claims, was a brother of the fate Florence O'SulliYan, of thls city.
 Among other things published by us, as we supposed was truthful statement and which was made by Judge Garter, was to the effect that the administrator of. the O'Sulllvan estate, O'Rouke by name, had only given bond to the amount of $500. This is incorrect, for Judge Jones made the administr ator give a sub. stantial bond to the amount of 1000, and this bond is signed by Hon. V. D. Wilkins, one of Pine Bluffs best and wealthiest citizens. Another statement made by Judge Carter was to the effect that the bondsman and.his security were non residents of Pine Bluff. This is also false. Mir. O'Sullivan, with his family, resides in this city aud his name has been entered as tax payer upon the tax books.
 The affairs of the estate of Flor. ence O'Sullivan each day become shrouded in more mystery. Only a short time ago local attorneys an- nounced their claim for Timothy O'Sulliyan, whom, they say, repre- sents himself to be son of Florence O'Sulliyan's brother. This brother, it appears, haG been uniden tified with the family for many years, his brothers altogether losing sight of him ard knowledge of his wherea- bouts.
 Now, in the appearance of Judge Garter, another Timothy O'Sullivan, who is dead, but whom his heirs attorneys say was a dear brother of Florence O'Suliyan, has ''butted" in for share Of tte O'Sul- livan estate. Ia the first instance, the lawyers represent that they are ready to produce Timothy, the nephew, at the proper time.
 At the funeral of Florence O'Sul- livan, which took place in this city several mon tbs ago, there was ore| mourner, Mortimer OSullivan, a brother, who came here from Indi- ana to attend the obsequies. He bears perfect likeness of Florence O'SulliYan, the dead brother, and our people generally do not deny his relationship. Immediately after the funeral Thomas O'Rouke, son. in-aw of Mortimer O'oulivan dropped in" from-nobody knows where-tho9gh, he says, Indiana too. From that time to thls Mortimer iO'Sulliyan and bis son.in law, ORouke, have resided in this city with their home on West Sixth avenue and they still hold the fort ir the OSuIliyan property.
 The man who left the estate in volyed was Pine Bluffs most eccen tric character. Pine Blufians learned nothing e his antecedents or connections. The circumstances of bis death were peculiar. He died only few days after the death of bis wife, wao fell into the flames Of grate, and was cremated before his very eyes. He was unable to

4 PRETTY
II Is Told of the Ruined Indian Pueblo
of PecoS.

Marion Hill. in Frank Leslies Pop
uIar Magazine tells the following ro-
mantle legend about the ruined pueblo
of Pecos. around which so much ro-
nance has been woven:
Through all the groteSque darkness
Of Pueblo superstition runs a bright
thread OF poetic legend: and one le-
gend is woven around the ruined es-
tufa in the ruined pueblo or Pecos.

straint and wrong. Montezuma woke
against them the aid of his brother
gods in heaven. These told him to
plant a tree upside down beside the
chief estufa of Pecos. and to light Il
holy fire upon the altar. and II the fire
kept burning until the tree fell. then
would there come to the rescue OF the

SO the fire was lit. and a sentinel
was posted to- guard its sacred flame;
and the tree was planted-under the
circumstances the planter would be
eXcusable in planting the tree as inse-
curely as possible. But year after year
passed. and the tree remained standing
Sentinel succeeded sentinel and the
fame lived IN. Generations withered
away. yet deliverance seemed no near

old Santa Fe that the city had surren-

this the band of deliverers? That day

NEW MEXICO'S EXHIBIT.

The people of New Mexico have good
reason to be proud of the fact that
their mineral exhibit won third place
among the exhibits of that kind at the
Paris exposition. 1t WAS a splendid
collection of specimens. and it is not
surprising hat a territory so rich in
mineral resources was able to make so
creditable a display.
Winning this prize will advertise
New Mexico all w the world and at
tract to it the attention of both min
eralogists and miners. The
of the territory need for their speedy
development just hat kind of adver-
Using. They are rich and varied, but
capital has not taken hold of them as
il has the mines and prospects Of GER
tain other parts of the Rocky noun
Itains. For this cas- New Mexico has
not become so widely known as more
favored localities.
But its day of actige growth and
prosperity cannot bemuch longer de-
layed. Patient effort. although aided
by but little capital. is bringing to
light the wealth of districts little be-
yond the borders Of the territory. n

CAPT. HoUsToN's MOTHER.
Her Son Fought With Roosevelt and
Afterwards Died Fighting in the
Philippines.

At Hamilton. Ohio, October 10. while
Gov. Roosevelt was addressing a big
audience word was brought to him that
the mother OF Captain Houston was in
tho crowd and wished an introduction.
Roosevelt stopped talking N asked
that Mrs. Houston come upon the
$ and.
Captain Houston died in the Philip
pines fighting with Lawton. He was
one of the eight captains whom Roose-
welt took with him TO Cuba on the ex-
petition which made the rough-rider
regiment famous. -Four of these cap
ain have died since Ell Caney and
two OF them yet bear the wounds OF
Mauser bullets. Houston was one of
Col. "Teddy's" favorite officers, and so
he asked. to see his mother.
She came through the crowd wearing
the weeds of mourning for her boy.
Willing hands helped her up the stair
way and Roosevelt took her arm and
grasped her hands. with God bless you
Mrs. Houston: your son was an honor
to you and to his country"
Her voice was choked with sobs as
h put aside her veil and looked tear
fully at the man VINO led her hero TO
victory in Cuba. She said:
He thought the world of you. Col.
Roosevelt. That's why / wanted to
meet you. l hope you will win. sir. My
son thought you should be president
some day. and | hope you will. | think
you mean TO stand for the things that
he stood for and for which he died. so
| hope you will win"
Few heard the words oil the mother
except Roosevelt and those nearest to
him. but the audience knew her and
her story N the women there wept
with her as h left the platform and
mingled with the crowd.

WHAT IS IEFTl

Next to VIM. ]. Bryan no doubt w
r. Heast did more hard work for the
success of the ticket nominated at
Kansas City than any one else comet
ed with the campaign What his OBJ
ject was in so doing is hard to discern
In the light of the fact that he has now
renounced the only planks OF the
platform that found any Judgment in
the hearts of the public.
The paramount issue OF that plat
form was the plank denouncing the
Philippine policy. yet Mr.. Hearst says
that this plank was un-American in
the following language: The policy
of cutting loose entirely from the Phil
ppines was not in accord with the spir-
it of h American people"
He also ~denounces the free silver
heresy in the following language:
Free silver was dead. n so I'M
popular that even its corpse was
enough to drag any man down to de-
feat"
Now in these admittances Mr..
Hearst practically acknowledges all
that the republicans claimed in the
campaign. or. in other words he ad-
nits that he vas spending his energy
and that of his co-workers on the Ex-

but its TRADE against trusts and the in
sincerity of that plank a shown by

as well As by the party vote when il
had a chance to make a record.
Mr.. Hearst will be a long time in
convincing the American people that
he was justified IN trying to defend a
platform whose planks were so rotten
that at the crossing they went down
burying the votes of nearly seven mil
lion people in Cultivation and yet he
but failed to warn the readers of his
several dogonatic sheets.
In justification of its position the Elk
aminer says:
Beyond a doubt a great lea of
money has been used in this election.
and yet we are not inclined To believe
that any state has actually been
bought. The result may be accepted
as the will of the people Of the partic-
ular issues that he people chose to on

managers shows that the position of
the Examiner had been well known

TEXAS AGAINST 10 ES

Chairman Jones was correct in his
anti-election prophesy. when he said:
The country is now aroused as it has
never been before since the great civil
war;" but he drew the wrong conclu-
sion therefrom when he fortold the
triumphant election of the national
democratic ticket. The moral con-
science of the people was aroused. but
it was the threat of debased money
and national dishonor hat became the
motive power for this decisive verdict.
The American flag. h integrity of the
supreme court. and financial honor are
as dear to the American people now.
as at the founding of the government.
Texas is still loyal to the democratic
party. and returns a large but decreas-
ed majority for her party leaders. The
decrease is TO be attributed to dissat-
faction with the Bryan platform. IL
ILL be remembered that at the Kansas
city convention. the Texas delegation
was unanimously opposed TO the free
coinage of silver plank. as they con-
sidered that issue dead and buried.
The brains OF the party from the be-
ginning, favored the expansion policy
OF the government. and realized the
great national wealth and prosperity
which was flowing into he state.
Fifty thousand democrats staid at
home and half as many voted for Nc
Kinley.
The Texas democracy never liked
Governor Jones of Arkansas as Il lead
er. They fought him viciously at the
convention. They remembered his
former prophecies which acted as
boomerangs and his weak policies. and
only acGuiesced in his selection when
they received word that Bryan insisted
on him. His connection with the
cotton bale trust robbed them of the
only thunder issue they could advocate
and as was frequently a during the
campaign Jones is the last man to fight
the trusts.

The latter generally voted for McKin-

what struck Billy Bryan. These opin-
