rLD.TsAAC sTANDLEE DEAD
Veteran Baptist Minister Passes Quietly Away Last Saturday.

Ed. Isaac Standlee is dead!
 This announcement will be,re- reiyed throughout this country with S feeling of much regret. Especially will it bring a sense of deep sadness to the old time res- ;dent. who can but feel in his death personal loss; no man who ever lived in this country has had wider circle of personal friends than did Elder Standlee.
 The weary eyes and tired hands of the veteran Baptist minister were sti1led forever at the home of his son, Charley Stand lee four miles north of Berryville, on last Saturday, Oct. 4, the inn mediate cause being heart fail- ure. His remains were laid to rest in Pleasant Hill, familiarly known as Black Jack, cemetery Sunday afternoon.
 "Uncle Ike,o as he was affec- tionately known among all class es, has been 8 shining light in Baptist circles for more than a half century. He has preached by the fireside, in the log school house and under the arbor, yet in the prime of his ministry his services have been sought in leading Baptist pulpits of North west Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. He-was a deep student of the bible, possessing a broad, progressive, christian spirit; yet he was decidedly aggressive in a doctrinal sense, being for many i, years regarded as authority on ; Baptist doctrines and practices.
 Itmay be truthfully stated that no man who has ever lived in this country has left a deeper imprint for the cause of christianity than he. His life was thoroughly con- seerated in the ministerial work and whatever may have been the mistakes of his head no one could impugn his motives. He preached the gospel as he saw 1t and he lived it.
 For many years past Eid. Standlee's natural forces have been abated on account of age and disease, but he never ceased to preach. He was always ready for service when he could stand up and go, and notwithstanding his efforts were feeble in a physl- cal sense, he never lost his abll- lty for sound, scriptural reason ing, and an Announcement for him always brought out large and respectful congregations.
 It was only during the summer of 1901, a little more than a year ago, Shat Eld. Standlee held a snort series of meetings in Green Forest. During his stay here at that time, he told THE TRIBUNE scribe thathe began his minister lal career in 1851, having taken up the work at the age of "A Years. He was ordained by Pleasant Hill church, in which Church yard he was laid to rest a little more than fifty years later. At the time of our conversation he estimated that he had wit hessed more than six thousand conversions. Of these converts ne had baptized many. His rec ord book up to the breaking out of the civil war contained the names of 1l6l persons converted n his meetings, but by some misfortune this book was destroy- Pa during the war, and after that e made no attempt at keeping
 memorandum of his work.
 Eid. StandIee assisted in the
 fganization of a Baptist church
 Green Forest in 1869, before a
 Pwn was thought of. The only
 ouse that marked the scene
 as a log church house, which

People kiss their dead who never
stoop to kiss their living; they hover
over caskets with hysterical sobs, but
fail to throw the wealth of affection
about those loved ones who are fight
ing the stern battles of life. How IN
heedingly we permit the opportunities
for carrying sunshine into the lives of
those we love to pass by. A word of
cheer to struggling soul in life is worth
all the roses in Christendom piled
high on casket covers. The dead
cannot smell the fragrance of the
flowers, but the living can; scatter
them broadcast In their pathway,
therefore, and pluck out the thorns.

No Gold There.

but it it is growing feebler every day.
For years the miners claimed that if
the United States would only let them
into these rich fields they would carry
the gold out by the bucketfull, and a
rush would ensue that would put Cali
fornia in the shade. Now they have
free entry into the country and the
right to dig up the ground clear to
China and the only thing that has
been found is glittering quartz.

of the tax, amounting to $2,SSS.99. The
company was originally assessed $29, 900
in Washington county, and the state
board of equalization raised the assess
mGEt of 900. The attorney for the
company claimed that taxes amounting
to $574.V should be deducted from the
amount assessed for real estate at Wild
wood, consisting of the pavilion and other
property. State Auditor Dunn, in letters
to County Auditor Browne stated that
the state board of equalization had made
its raise Upon the capital stock of %he
corporation. The question was considered
at considerable length by the board of
county commissioners at yesterdays Ses-
sion. but rather than test the question in

BIG DEAL IN PINE.
Purchase of 3OO,oOO,OOO Feet at
Cost of $1,000. 600.

DULUTH, Jan. Sit was reported in
lumber circles yesterday that the Clark
jackson Lumber company has purchased
3OO,OO0,000 feet of standing pine from the
Weyerhaeuser-Sa untry interests, stu
ated in Douglas county, Wis, for a sum
in excess of 100000 An investigation
of the report revealed that the deal is in
progress, but the details have not been
completed. In lumber circles it is taken
for granted that the big purchase will
be accomplished, and that a thorough
understanding already exists between
the parties to the transaction Fred B.
Clark, of the Clark-Jackson Lumber
company, returned yesterday from Grand
Rapids, Mich, but declined to discuss the
reported purchase of pine William
6auntry was also in the city last even
ing, but he too was reticent. He said
that the deal had not been completed.
The purchase of 300, OOO, 900 feet of pine
for the Clark-Jackson mill will be of
special interest to the people of the
West end, where the company's saw min
is situated. 1t means that the plant
would have enough timber to keen if in
operation night and day for five or sfx
years. The logs would be rallied to On

PATENT MEDICINE DISCOUNTS.

DULUTH, Jan. sc. H. Chapman, of
Cleveland, representing the National Re-
tail Druggists association, is in the city
this week endeavoring to arrange an I'M
Outstanding between department stores
and drug stores on the patent medicine
proposition. At present the department
firms have frequent sales of patent medi-
cines at from 10 to rs per cent discount
from regular prices, to the dissatisfac-
ton of the retail drug dealer. Mr..
Chapman is endeavoring to induce the
medicines more than 5 per cent, while
the druggists will sell at full prices The
scheme will probably carry.
A meeting of the Retail Grocers' as
ISOLATION last night which includes the
120 odd groceries in the city, an ultima
tum was given to the jobbers and COM

continued selling to individual copsum-
ers, the grocers would do their buying
outside the city. The Produce exchange
and Jobbers' union were represented at
the meeting, and after a long discussion
the wholesalers agreed to cutoff
the selling to consumers.
