In Mem0riam

At lllG uOIlIG OI HIS Ia lHcI, near Barkada, Ark, on the eve ming of Nov. 10th, 1902. Benja- min Curry Hearn departed this life, gently and without a strug- gle. The deceased was the son of Mir John A and Mrs. S. Y Hearn and was a native of this county. He was born Oct. 1st 1879, age 23 years, one month and ten days.
 A few weeks before his death he was attacked with fever, par tially recovered but relapsed and fingered on to the end He leaves his parents. grand-par- ents, brothers and sisters, be- sides other relatives and friends to mourn his death.
 He WAS in the full vigor of young manhood in mind and body, in statue 6 feet and 2 in. 1 have known him from his in- fancy and can say, truly, that he was in many respects a mod el boy and model man. He was unselhsh, pure in mind, a loving son and brother and q devoted friend. Chaste i'll language, and 1t is said by those who were his daily companions that no vul gar expressions or words derog atory to others ever passed his lips.
 He was kind and courteous tC all, simple and unaffected in his mauners, warm and generous II his nature, sunny in all the aspects of life, and apparently without an enemy in the world All who knew him honored anC respected him Those who knew him best not only honoret him most, but loved him best Among his virtues. were to SC feet one that was pre-eminent, Ii would be the Sacredness of hi. affections and duty to his par ents, brothers and sisters. Tn, true va lue of good life can nev CT be lost the good which mer do. live after them. No one eve dies all forgotten, and no one ev CT wholly perishes from the fac, of the earth The influences of { life, even in this world. are etern al. The tomp cannot inclost them. While his deathIh Ihas caus ed grief and regret, his memory will be cherished with lasting af lection and regard by his rela tives and friends. He will be sadly missed in this community, and at his home near Barkada the body sleeps, and we laid il loyingl " away, where the wick ed cease from troubling and the Weary are 1t rest We know how the death of the statesman or warrior sends a thrill of sor row through the body polite and how the sad feelings that fills the breast of those who have learned to lean on their strong arms will find expressions 1T words that teem with the elo quence of sorrow. But the pri vate citizen is mostly lamentec in the home circle; he passes into the shadow land, only with tn, lamentations of his family anC immediate neishhors accompa nying him Yet, many were al the burial in honor Of his memo ry and regret of his departure Garlands of beautiful flowers were woven by tender hands and laid upon his fresh made grave The bereaved family have my sincere sympathy in the loss ot their son and brother.

From the AtchiSOn Kan, Duly Globe.
 This is the season when the wo- man who knows the beat remedies for croup IS in demand in every neigh borhood. One of the most terrible things in the world IS to be awakened in the middle of the night by whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case ot croup, as revolver is sure 10 be lost in ease of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrap and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain s Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quick CT, and gives relief in a short time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safo to take. For sale by Brown, McQuiston X Go.

MISS STONE NOT
AS YET RELEASED
Fifteen Days Have Elapsed Since
Ransom Was Paid, and De-
lay is Unexplained.
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Gilt is
estimated at the State Department that
fifteen days have now elapsed since the
money for Miss Stones ransom was paid
over. AT least five days have elapsed be-
You'd the time fixed to place her in the
hands of her friends. There is no eXpla-
nation for the delay. 1t is Hoped that
physical conditions, such as heavy SHOWS
and adverse weather may account for the
failure to secure her delivery. The Of
ticials are loath to believe that there has
been breach of faith on the part of the
brigands, but even if this were SO, they
do not regard themselves as blameworthy
for having trusted them.
From the first the United States Gov
ernment has been adverse to paying
ransom, but in response to appeals from
every quarter, reluctantly authorized Mr..
Leishman to deal with the briganos.
However. if it turns out that the brigands
have broken faith, and that they either
have taken the ransom money and spiri-
tied the captives away again. or that they
have killed them, then there will be no
futher attempt to deal with the brigandS
on the part Of the United States Govern
ment, but its entire power will be directed
upon Turkey and upon Bulgaria to procure
the swift and certain determination of the
brigands, regardless of cost or effort.

streets are in a worse conoition than be-
fore thousands of snow shoVellers went

During the evening tho temperature
dropped enough to turn the downpour of

Many branches fell. This condition pre-

Traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge was al

Heavy trucks could scarcely be moved,
even with four stout horses to each, do

were attached to all those cars, and hao

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

Some Action.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. I.-The
Cuban reciprocity problem was again be-
fore Republican members OF the Ways
and Means Committee to-day, who were
in private conference for two hours, then
adjourned until tomorrow without reach
ing an agreement 1t developed to-day
that an informal vote had been taken
early in the conferences, not on any spe-
cific proposition, but on the general ques-
ton as to whether anything should be
done. resulting in an expression favorable
to action SO long as existing American
industries were not endangered by the
extent of concessions.
After to days conference it was stated
with much defniteness by those in po-
sition TO know that there would be an
agreement later, and the belief was, ex-
pressed that the concession to Cuba would
be about 80 per cent, probably as re-
bate.
