an Illness of several months. Mrs.
Hawley had reached and passed the
age of ninety years and was among
the first women to reside in OttumWa,
which place she has made her home
for the past fifty-three years. Her
friends in Ottumwa were legion, and
general sorrow is felt throughout the
city today on account of her death.
Mrs Hawley was born September

~, N. Y. She was married on her
twentieth birthday to James Hawley,

STORY LOOKS GAuzY.
Alleged That William Buckworth Was
Not Robbed.

[From Tuesdays DAILY
From the information that has
come to light today grave doubts
have arisen in the minds of the police
officials as to the authenticity of the
report given by William Buckworth
yesterday morning about his being
held up by Dave Chesser and Lyle
Russell. 1t is said in police circles
today that Buckworth was not held
up at all. 1t is also stated that he
did not have $40 bill as he claimed
1t has also been learned that he re-
ceived the cut on his head which ne
cessitated DIR. Williams taking sever
al stitches, by being elected from a
saloon with the help of the toe OF the
proprietor.
A Careful Investigation.
After the case had been reported
yesterday Chief Gray made careful
investigation of the matter. He found
that Buckworth Lad been drinking in
several places in the east end of the
city, and that he became very obnoX-
ious in one or two Of them. In one
place he tried to purchase gun fro II
Grip" Lewis, but he only had $3.50
on his person at that time, and Lewis
refused to take this for the weapon.
This was some time before he claim
ed that he had been held up. Lewis
says the currency that Buckworth had
on his person was a one dollar bill in
stead of ten.

Joe Ballanfant's Horse.

Senator Carmack's comparison
of President Roosevelt to Tenn
essee horse whose natural gait
was to run away" has touched
the risibles of the nation. 1t was
an apt as we'll as a humorous IL
Illustration of the presidents pro-
pensity to precipitate speech and
action. The stenographic report
of Senator Carmack s remarks in
the Congressional Record shows
his exact language to have been:
"He resembles in his habits of
speech my friend Joe Ballanfant's
horse, of which remarkable ami
NAL it was said thatrunning away
was his natural gait"
The Columbia Herald says the
incident upon which the witticism
was founded occurred while SEN
ator Carmack was a school boy at
Gulleoka. Joe Ballanfant was
then a dashing young cavalier
and an eX-COnfederate soldier,
and was very much admired
among the ladies. He rode in
those days what the Herald de-
scribes as "a crazy gray horse, "
and one day, it is related, che
came careering down the road in
a cloud of dust riding this horse
at the top Of his speed" AS he
passed the school the boys, among
whom was the future senator,
watched with glowing admiration
the gallant equestrian and his
caracoling steed, and one of them
shouted:
''Is he running away Joe?"
Running away?" replied Joe.
"Thunder Running away is
his natural gait"
The story has survived all these
years in Maury county, but it re-
NAMED for Carmack to tell to the
nation and thus immortalize that
remarkable steed. - Nashville

All With the People.

II was the late Mr.. Barnum
the prince of American show
men. who declared that if there
was one thing more than another
that the people loved, it was to
be humbugged. 1t is a rule in
politics as in the show business,
The people have nobody to blame
but themselves when they find
ignoramuses, boodlers ard dema-
gogues in office. We know, for
instance, that there were several
boodlers in the legislature, men
whose hands were always -"be-
hind their backs" for purpose.
Who sent these men to the legis-
lature? The people. 1t is well
understood there We're demagOg-
ues in the legislature, men whose
only purpose was to advance
their political fortunes without
regard to any principle in morals
CT to the welfare OF the people
who sent these demagogues to
the Arkansas legislature? The
people. We all know that there
was at least a small sprinkle Of
ignoramuses, blockheads. Who
sent them? The people. There
were many good and true men,
also, men who were well informed,
incorruptibIe and Jealous in pro-
noting the public interest. II
the sovereign people are deceived
It isnot creditable to their intelli-
gence about which we boast 50
much; if, with knowledge, they
place unworthy men in office, it
is not creditable to their morals.
But the sooner we dismiss the
idea that the people are powerless
to correct existing evils, the soon
err shall we get at the truth.
Whatever government we have
is by grace of the people, and we
have it in our power to make it
as good as we want it.-Arkan-

Thinks Little Of The Negro.

In the general assembly Of the
Northern Presbyterian Church
recently in session in New York
a prominent preacher said;
"rhe negro was not religious
10y nature. He was only emo
.tional and superstitious. The
average colored preacher in the
south, he said, was ignorant.
They play upon the emotions Of
their people on Sundays, he said,
by preaching about a paradise Of
laziness as a reward for the good
and a hell for the wicked. On
week days they set examples
which will lead those that follow
them to eternal perdition."
That is putting the negro below
the opinion the southern men
have for him. Our northern
friends seem to have no conserv-
ative estimate Of the negro one
way or another. - Arkansas
