Significant Figures.

The production of steel rails in the
United States in 1902 was 2,876, 293
tons, which is only slight gain over
1901, but it is much more than double
the output of any year in the country's
history previous to 1890. In 1869
there were only 8.616 tons of steel
rails produced in the United States,
and those were at the rate Of 1892
ton In 1902 the price was $2S ton.
The immense gains which have been
made in steel 1ail production and in
the reduction of the price in the past
generation is one of the triumphs of
the tariff policy of which the Repub-
lican party is the author. A few
figures like these-and many can be
procured--will go a long way towards
making the Republican majority in
1904, the biggest in the party's days.

Another Killing in Union Attributed
to the Tucker-Parnell Fued.
EVENTS lf Aweek BRIEFLY CHaoHIcleD
The Remains Of Dad Newell Buried in
Pine Bluff-Two Brothers Retutn
After Long Absence.
Another Killing in Union.

Another killing took place a few
days ago four miles west of Ell Dorado
which is attributed to the Parnel-
Tucker feud The victim was Dallas
Hunter and he was shot from ambush
while riding along the public road.
Hunter had just been acquitted by
justice of the charge of killing w. l..
Lee last July and was on his way to
consult relative about leaving the
country, as he had been notified that
his life was in danger
The assassin stood behind a tree,
and at distance of about thirty feet
shot Hunter from his horse. A load of
twelve buckshot struck him full in the
back. Appearances indicated that the
assassin had been there for twenty
four hours. If the assassination of
Dallas hunter and the murder of w
+. Lee on July last are chargeable
to the Tucker Parnell feud, this is the
fifth violent death as the result of that
feud. With them as two of the vic
Tins. the complete death list is as fol-
lows:
October 8. 1902-Tom and Walter
Parnell and Constable H. l.. Deering,
killed in street fight in Ell Dorado
July 6. 1903-W. P. Lee assassinated
near Lisbon.
August s. 1903-John F. Parnell
killed by Guy B. Tucker
September 2, 1903-Dallas Hunter
assassinated.
Earnest efforts have been made by
the citizens of Ell Dorado and of Union
county to prevent a recurrence of the
troubles, and law and order league
was organized by representative peo-
pie for the purpose of bringing about
peace and preventing lawlessness. AL
though it cannot be asserted conclu-
sively that the assassination of Hunter
and Lee is traceable directly to the
Tucker and Parnel troubles, each
forms chapter in the series Of trag
edies that have stirred Union county
and aroused the citizens to organized
action for law and order.
