He died with Swamp fever, his
Illness lasting only about 40 hours,
when the dark clouds OF death
lowered over him.
Wiley leaves a wife and hve
children, father and mother. three
brothers and one sister, besides
hosts of friends, to mounrn his
death. The chain that bound
family ties so close is now broken
There is missing link that can
not be replaced. oh, how sad IT
Is to know that we must part with
one so near and dear, although we
know his spirit has been borne
away by the snow white Angel
Band to that peaceful home
beyond the skies where there Is
no more pain, temptation and
sorrow. Weep not dear friends
and family, for it is the workings
Of an Allwise Providence, the
Giver and Receiver of our spirits.
So we'll say farewell, dear

AN EQUAL DIVISION
Prof. Owen Still 1T the Head of
the School.

Ever since the present session
of the Winfield High School
opened. over month ago. il
seemed ike our splendid pros
poets for good school would
amount to nothing aad that the
good start made during the past
sessions and the high hopes of the
patrons would fall through and
the school go to the eternal bow
vows. Some of the patrons of
the school objected to Prof. W.
| +. Owen, although we have not
learned why. aS principal. He
was elected - principal and made
his arrangements to teach the
school, bat a few days before the
school opened the new Board of
Trustees. who were elected after
Prof. Owen had been employed
for this session, decided they
wanted another teacher and that
they wanted the opening Of the
school postponed to the first o.
| the present month. Prof. Owen
went ahead and carried ont the
terms agreed upon between him
self and the old Board which
required that the school should
open first of September. Many
of the patrons refused 10 patron
ize the school under Prof. Owen,
but he went marriiy on, aad the
new Board proceeded to employ
a new principal. Prof. Thomp-
son, of Claiborne parish. was the
gentleman selected and it was
proposed that he should occupy
the upper story of the school
building and that his school
should commence Monday of this
week.
Prof. Thompson arrived latter
part of last week and. after be-
coming acquainted with the sit
uation of things. met Prof. Owen
and between themselves they
compromised on a plan that has
harmonized matters and the
school is going on as it should
with a liberal patronage. The
arrangement between Profs. Over
and Thompson suited the differ
ent factions and everything Is
moving along nicely. Prof
Thompson was given the position
of First Assistant. with Mrs.
Owen as Second Assistant, tn,
pupils being graded and divided
equally between the teachers an'
the teachers each receiving a thirt
of the total tuition. Prof. Over
retains the principalship as he hao
a legal right to it. being dul,
elected by duly authorized
Board of Trustees.

amicably adjusted and the schoo
is progressing nicely, which i

Police jury Contracts for
a Modern Building to be
erected By April First
Next Year.
WILL COST S8,Soo.oo.
Hull Brothers, of Dallas, Texas,
the Contractors.

The Police Jury contracted this
week for modern Jail building
for this parish. The question o.
new Jail, one that would be OF
service and at the same time he
conveniently situated to the
Courthouse and place of safety
for prisoners. has been discussed
for some time by the people Of
the parish, and the question has
been before the Police Jury, but
no definite action was taken until
this week. Mr.. Hull, of the
contracting firm of Hull Bros, of
Dallas. Texas. together with nis
architect. Mr.. Sam Ewing, were
here with plans to lay before the
body and figure with it on a new
building.
The Police Jury was ready for
such proposition and but little
time was required for a contract
to be drawn up and signed which
will give the parish new modern,
two-story building. The building
will be located on the southwest
corner of the Public square, will
be completed by April lSt. 1902,
and will be paid for in five IN
stallments. the total cost. interest
and all amounting TO $500. The
building will he modern in every
respect, being provided with ar

The Police Jury is To be COM
mended for this action. The old
/ excuse we have been using for a
Jail is entirely inadequate for a
growing country. 1t is not safe
for keeping prisoners unless they
be placed in the cage and it Is
entirely too small for more than
two prisoners. The parish Is able
to build the Jail and the good
judgement shown by the Police
Jury i'm selecting and contracting

of the parish at present and in
the future is a matter for con,

see our parish continue in the

ANOTHER FIRE
Visits Winfield and De-
strOys the Handsome
New Store of Hart
& Holmes.
ALMOST A TOTAL LOSS.
The Building and Contents Par
italy Covered by Insurance.

The fifth of series of fires in
and around Winfield during the
present year occurred about 9
O'Clock Friday night of last week
when the handsome new store
house on Main Street near the
depot, the property of Hart &
Holmes was completely destroyed.
together with large stock of
general merchandise. The ori-
gin of the fire is unknown, but
the trend of opinion is to the
belief that the building was fired
from the outside. but what the
motive of such act could be no
one knows. as all doors were
closed when the house was reach
ed after fire was discovered.
The fire was discovered about
9 o'clock and the alarm given.
In few minutes hundreds of
excited people were on the
ground. but it was too late to
fight the fire. The front doors
of the building were broken open
and everybody went to work
carrying ont such things as could
be reached. About $500 worth
of goods, show cases. trunks.
writing desk, etc., was carried out.
More could have heen saved but
for the intense heat Of the fire.
The entire building was soon in
flames and it looked as if the
residence occupied by II. W.
TugweIl and situated on the
corner lot next the one occupied
bv the store house would be
burned. All available energy was
directed toward the residence and
soon everything was carried out
to safe distance. After the
house was emptied buckets were
secured and then the "Bucket
Brigade" began to show what it
was made of. The boys worked
manfully and kept the house
flooded with water until the store
house had burned TO the ground.
For a time matters looked Sc
r,ous. 1t looked as if the house
just opposite the burning building.
and occupied by Hughes restau-
rant would also burn, but the
timely application of water Kept
it from catching and the fire was
confined to the one building
(which, within half an hour. had
burned to the ground,
The loss on this fire Is between
$4,000 and $4,000, with $1,000
insurance with the Pennsylvania
Fire Insurance Co.
| This fire is another reminder
that Winfield needs some means
of fighting fire and we must make
some preparation in the near
future. Neither of the fires di-
rectly in town during the past few
months have been serious ones,
each house being separated from
Iother buildings, but some time
fire will break out where there
will be no way of stopping It,
The ..Bucket Boys" deserve
special commendation for the
lheroic work they did on the oc-
casion of this last fire. but fire Is
IHkely to get started where they
can do nothing with their buckets
and then we will need waterworks
and plenty of hose, and a fire de-
partment with some systematic
lpIan of action will be needed
tLet the people of the town study
| this matter and take some steps
toward protecting themselves
against fire.

came through his kidneys. His back got so
lame ne could not stoop without great pain,
nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions.
No remedy helped him until ne tried Electric
Bitters which effected such wonderful change
that he writes he feels like new man. This
marvellous medicine cures backache and kidney

Silk Growing in the United States.

Whether we shall grow the thirty to
forty million dollars worth of raw silk
which we are now importing depends
more upon the question of feasibility
than that of possibility, says O. P.
Austin in Everybody's Magazine. Silk
has been produced in many of the
States, even as far north as New Eng
land, and as far south as Florida; but
for various causes, chiefly lack of ex-
perience and the competition of the
cheap labor of the Orient and Italy, it
has not been a financial success. The
application of the intelligence and skill
which have brought success in other
lines of g-neglected industry may
change all this. The number of silk
manufacturing establishments in the
United States is increasing every year,
thirty nine new plants having been es-
tablished in 1900 alone; and their prod
uct now amounts to over one hundred
million dollars annually. 1t is not i'm
probable that American gepius sup
ported by American capital may yet
find a way of supplying from our in
dustries the forty million dollars worth
of raw materials which these factories
require.

Fairfeld's Good Fortune.

The whole State joins in congratula-
tions to Fairfield upon the occasion of
the dedication of the handsome new
Lawrence library building. This
splendid structure, which means so
much for the social and educational
future of the town, is another evidence
that Fairfield is particularly favored in
the public spirit and generosity of it's
leading men. With all due respect to
Carnegie and his many wise benefac-
tions, it is better, we believe, for a
community to possess library which is
the product of local pride and loyalty
and of local understanding of local
needs. The dedication exercises, July
18th, were in keeping with the struc-
ture and the spirit in which it was Civ
en-. Fairfield was highly favored in
having as the dedication orator that
eminent scholar and writer, Hezekiah
Butterworth. Long may MI. Lawrence
live to witness and share in the blessing
he has conferred upon the town he
loves.-Kennebec Journal.

To the Editor of The Republican Journal.
Dear Sir: | sent you poem last week
and asked you to publish it in your paper.
You declined, and returned it to me with
the crushing reply that l was no poet, and
that you ''cOuld turn out better poetry out
of a sausage machine" Now l won't be
crushed, and propose to show up your at
tempt to throttle budding genius. Publish
this card and the following poem in your
columns and charge me at your advertising

THE POEM.
l stood upon the oceans sandy beach,
And with a reed l wrote upon the sand these
words:
"Agnes, 1 love thee!"
But the winds came and the waves rolled noun
tain high,
And blOtted out the fair impression.
Cruel waves, treacherOus sand, fragile reed;
No longer will 1 trust to thee,
But from the highest mountain peak Pll pluck
the tallest pine,
And, dipped in the crater of Vesuvius, with it I
will write
Upon the high and FURNISHED heavens these
words:
ga Wise woman is drawing the largest audi
ences ever known,
And giving an entertainment that will take your
breath away"
And would like to see any dog gone wave wash
