was read, as follows;
In view Of the recent events
and subsequent Developments, L
have this day decided to and do
hereby withdraw from the race
for tax assessor Of Sharp county.
1.-The great misfortune that re-
Gently befell me has been seized
upon those who seek my down
fall, not only to add further calu-
my and disgrace upon me and
my family-where peace, love and
sympathy now reign supreme
but seek to belittle and disgrace
the fair name Of the Democratic
party. And | hope that, that
party whose infamous record,
while in office in Arkansas, is SO
infamous foul and nauseating as
to make any decent Democrat
who feels an interest in his COM
mon country, to be willing to
sacrifice his own personal inter-
ests, and future aspirations, and
ambition, to avert such a Gala
maty as would result from the
election of a Republican to office
in Sharp county.
Fellow Democrats, | take tuls
opportunity to thank you for the
great honor you have conferred
upon me in electing me to the
honorable position now hold.
You have twice nominated me
over a number of the best Demo-
Gratis in the county, men whose
characters are above reproach.
Having Of my own choice, from
honest conviction of right; torn
loose from my youthful trainings,
and cast my lot with the Demo-
cratic party which has done so

this time to stand in theway. and
thereby jeopardize the success Of
the party, and possibly lead to
the election OF the Republican
nominee.
/ l sincerely hope that the or.
ganized democracy Of Sharp
county through its com mittee or
otherwise, will endorse a true and
/ tried democrat for the place on
the ticket, made vacant by my
withdrawal, and THAI the demo-
Gratis OF Sharp county will, at the
polls on the first Proximo, rally
to his support and thereby thwart
that infamous8chem now being
pushed by the Republicans Of
Sharp county to ride into office,
not upon merit, but upon our
party's misfortune and ny weak
ness.
AS to unfortunate incident
which made it necessary for me
to take this step, l do not, in this
article, deem it polite to go into
detail but sincerely hope that the
people of Sharp county will be,
charitable enough to withhold
further condemnation OF me until
they know all the facts in the
case, and not take as true, the
many exaggerated and false state
ments which have gone out.
Remember that one small spark
of fire, can, and often does, cause
great conflagration.
Sincerely Yours,
j. A. Harrell.

lowing candidates announced |

ed as follows: Horn 8; Clear 8;
Phillips 2; Buchanan 1. The

ing vote: Horn 8; Clear s: Phil
lips 2; Buchanan 1. No nomin-
alton being made, the fourth bal

assessor, and all democrats were
urged to support him.
The meeting of the committee
was harmonious and good feeling
predominated in every respect.
Mr., Horn who received the en-
dorsement for the Office of asses
sor, is a man well known to the
people Of the county. He is well
qualified to fill the position, and
is in every way worthy of the
support Of the democracy of the
county. 1t is the duty Of each
and every democrat to rally to
his support and elect him over
the republican aspirant by an
overwhelming vote.

Dog Crossing watchman who Saved
Many Chiid's Life, succumbe.
"Dude." the railroad dog, is dead
Dude" was only dog. His name was
not written among those dogs Of high
degree, for his ancestry would be abso-
lutely untraceable, but he possessed a
wider circle of human acquaintances
than falls to the lot Of most dogs.
"Dude" was the property of Fred
Blume, of Edwardsvilc. but for several
years was unofiicially recognized as
on detached service Of the several rail-
roads entering the uptown station in
the capacity Of crossing watchman.
The Blumes live near the depot, and
soon after he came into their possession
the little terrier becaine possessed of
the idea that he must watch the grade
crossings, Of which there were num-
Der in the vicinity.
For more than two years he has met
every inbound train and preceded the
locomotive, barking an energetic warn
ing. His plan of action was to dash
down the main line as soon as train
whistled 10 the lower yards, and, turn.
ing about speed ahead Of the engine
until 1t stopped at the platform. TO or
dinary switching he paid no attention.
Watching the crossing became a mania
with him, and as the companies pro-
vide no watchman he was really useful,
and many schoolchild has been
warned Of the approach of danger
by the frantic barks of the dog when
the warning bell, by reason of its IA
miliarity, might have passed unnotlced.
Dudes" end came yesterday after
noon. A Terminal train, several min
utes late, and making time, proved too
speedy for the little pilot ahead, and
he was run down directly in front Of
the door of the ladies' waiting room.

did enlist. The United States Army
was not aware Of 1t, however, for his
enlistment papers were filed in the ar
chives OF a little country church back

clares that II was the most satisfactory
enlistment that he ever made-all the
more satisfactory since the crippled
