Mrs. Maud Boyd simpson. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles NJ. Boyd. and wife of MT. Claude Nj. Simpson, was. born in Monticel- 10, Ark. March I3th, 1878. and died in her ehew and beautiful home in the same town, Sept. 2Ist 1901. She had been married five yrs. and a,,member of the Methodist Episcopal Church six years. Her infant babe preceded her d few hours, which helped to reconcile her to her death. Indeed, when told that it was dead she seemed anxious to depart and be with 1t They will occupy better home over there, even mansion" in the skies, and together with her father, sister and loved ones in that God built city, watch and wait at the beautiful gate for the ultimate homecoming of the dear ones she left behind.
 Maud was a dutiful daughter, an affectionate sister, a sincere friend, consistent Christian and a devoted and faithful wife. Brief, but happy were the years of her earthly pilgrimage; but the rest of the Saints into which she recently and so triumphantly entered, is as enrapturing as it is eternal.

 THE GANAL1TREATY.

With the arrival in Washing ton of Lord Pauneefote, the British Ambassador to this country, there Is reason to be lieve that negotiations will be gin which will terminate only in the ratification of an Isthmian canal treaty i'll which the plain rights of this Government are distinctly recognized by Great Britain.
 The announcement has been repeatedly made, and Is now again reitera ted frow the nation al capital, that Lord Paunce- .fote brings with him the draft oi ,. treaty abrogating the Clay ton Bulwer treaty. consenting that the neutrality of the canal shall be guaranteed solely by the United States Government and not forbidding the erection ot Notifications. Such a treaty would doubtless be promptly confirmed by the United States Senate.
 Should this prove to be the case, the final result, the enact ment of a treaty in which Amer ican rights are distinctly reeog- nized and protected, would sig nally demonstrate the power oi public sentiment in this country, The Hay-Pauncefote treaty. so disadvantageous to Us and so ful, of undue advantage for England, was defeated solely by the American protest against such surrender to British dictation. Secretary of State Hay was severely condemned for agreeing to such treaty. There was no exercise of governmental influence capable of compelling the treaty's ratification by the Senate. To England's discom- fture and disgust, the treaty failed of acceptance, and the fact became plain that the United States meant to build and con- trol an American canal with or without England's consent. The present likelihood of satisfac- tory treaty is the outcome. The people have triumphed over the diplomats Republic.

Last winter an infant child Of mine had croup in violent form, says Elder John ". Rogers, . Christian Evangelist, of Filley, Mo. I gave her few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in a short time all danger was past and the child recovered. This remedy not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the first symptoms appear, will prevent the attack. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by Brown, MeQuiston, < Go.

A FEW of the Arkansas news papers, who are following the example oi Clark and claiming that Jones IS man of no mark ed ability, are simply displaying their own ignorance.

IN the recent State elections things did not go overwhelming ly Democratic; but there are q few crumbs of comfort to be picked up from the result Mary land has chosen a Democratic Legislature, which insures that state a Democratic United States Senator, and the same, also, in Kentucky.

THE defeat of Tammanv, in New York, may result in bring ing Senator D. B. Hill to the front as the leader of the Democracy of that State. Mir. Croker will most likely be set aside. If Mr. Hill takes matters in hand and succeeds in recognizing the par ty on a safe and sound basis, he will be the logical candidate for President in 1904.
