Cleveland FavOrS Parker.

The World sends from Prince ton an interview with eX-Presi- dent Cleveland in which the latter says:
 'sThe recent movement looking to a concentration upon Mir. Parker's candidacy afforded me the greatest possible relief and satisfaction, not only so far as my personal comfort is concerned, but as 6 democrat anxious for my party's supremacy and delighted with the prospect of it's return to sanity and patriotic effort.
 I do not see how any one pro- fessing to be real intelligent democrat can hesitate to accept Mr. Parker, if he should be nom- mated, as a fit representative of safe and democratic principles, entitled to the hearty and unre- served democratic support.
 Some of us may have been of the opinion that another nomina- ton might be more expedient. But that should be mere matter of opinion, which should pass out of sight immediately if the choice of the convention should fall on Mir. Parker.
 "Feeling assured as I do that the nomination will be made rep resenting true democratic prin- ciples, l am only concerned about the platform which will be pres- ented tc the people with our can- didate. l do not believe can be mistaken that in this campaign, of all others, our platform should be short and to the purpose. There are certain lines of battle which promise better than others, successful results.
 These lines having been care- fully selected and plainmarked out should be followed persistent ly and with faith and enthusiasm.
 q earnestly hope that our plat form will be short-so short that the voters of the land will read it.
 ''I hope that in this platform our party will say precisely what it means and that every word it contains will bear it's share of meaning in 8 declaration of principles free from debate, evasion or disingenuous compro- mise.''

Lumber Business Cornered.

A few months ago this paper foreshadowed a condition soon to be brought about by the local lumber combines. We did not make it a whit to strong. It is with difficulty that building material of a respectable quality can now be had at greatly ad- vanced prices.
 Silas Hanby, ''the lumber king of Northwest Arkansas" has been dethroned and is left without a stick of lumber or a wheel of machinery to tell the story of his long career as a manufacturer and dealer in the pinery. He has been bought out, lock, stock and barrel, by the syndicate at Berryville, which has absorbed every mill now operating in that country.
 Since assuming control of the entire pine lumber output of that section, 1t appears that the Berry vile capitalists have decided to put the price on second and third class lumber where it has been on the higrest grades before and ship all of the good lumber out of the country.
 A few hundred feet of lumber was needed for the finishing of the building soon to be occupied by THE TRIBUNE office. The stock in the local yard has been ransacked, several trips made and special requests placed with the piney mills and yet we have had to get most all of the material desired from Berryville and ac- cept a very inferior quality; hence we are prepared to speak ad- visably upon this subject.
 The local demand now for lum- Der is good and will be steady from now on and a mill and yard should be established and main tained in Green Forest. There are other channels through which supplies could be secured, if suf- ficlently encouraged and it would certainly be a good business policy for Green Forest people to give the matter attention.

Our Next Congressman.

Hon. J. c. Floyd of Yelleville, Marion county, was born in Tennessee, is son of Squire J. w. Floyd, who served in the Confederate army under Generals Morgan, Wheeler and Dick Taylor from the beginning of the war. After his surrender in 1865 he retuned to his farm in Smith county, Tennessee; in 1859 moved with his family to Benton county, Arkansas; settled ard improved farm near Bentonville, Benton county, Ark ansas, where he now lives. Young J. C.. Floyd then about 10 years old, remained with his father and worked on the farm until 1878, when he entered the Arkansas Uni versity at Fayetteville. Being poor, he worked his way through the school and graduated with high honors in 1879. Taught school at Springdale, aSh1nCOn county, III loiS ana 1880. In 1881 taught scho ol at Butram Chapel on Pea Ridge, Benton county Afterward studied law with Col. Sam Peel at Bentonville; admitted to the bar in 1882; moved to Yell ville, Marion county, where he now lives; was elected to the legislature from that county in 1899; was elected prosecuting attorney for that judicial circuit in 1900; re- elected in 1902. Served four years and voluntarily retired. He married the daught- CT of H. Berry, relative of Sena- tor Jas. H. Berry of Benonville, MT. Floyd is now AS years of aOe.

Good Fruit Prospects.

John P. Logan president of the state horticultural society, was in Little Rock a few days ago and talked to a reporter for the Gazette, concerning the fruit prospects. He said:
 "The Elberta peaches were damaged some by the cold in March, but there are yet good prospects. In fact, the fruit out look in Benton and Washington counties is fine. This is especial ly true of apples. The straw berry season with us does not open until May 1. The crop will be a fine one.
 ''I am going to St. Louis about the 18th,'' continued Senator Logan, "and will remain there during the exposition season to look after our states horticultural display, which l think will be second to none. We will be able to make splendid showing of fruit and herald to tie world the superior advantages of Arkansas as fruit growing state. We have a large quantity of material in storeage in St. Louis ready to be placed on exhibition and i am sure every Arkansan will have cause to feel proud of the state's
The Green Forest tribune., 1904-04-16

Now that is the way we think the job was done. As to the ones who participated in the act we have only one man that it looks rather shady for. He was absent from Berryville during that Sunday and could not be found. Don't forget, either, that he was searched for, and no one could account as to where he was.
 ssOf course, my theory is.based solely on circumstantial evidence, and as to the hour that the bal lot box was taken and when it was brought back and how it was obtained, would be hard things to prove. Later develop ments may make this an easier task.''

Now. Don't This Settle It :?

Eureka Springs, April 10.- The first Hearst club in Arkan- sas was organized here Friday night, with the following officers: President, Jas. T. Smith; vice. president, Col. c. D. James; l; treasurer, Nick Kizer; secretary Judge Wade Ii. James; corres- bonding secretary, Jas. T. Pom eroy. The aims and objects are declared to be: "To labor unceas- ingly for the candidacy of W. R.. Hearst for the democratic presi- dential nomination at St. Louis, in general; and more immediate- ly, to work for the instruction of the Arkansas delegates, to be selected at Hot Springs in June, to vote and work in the national convention for the nomination of w. R. Hearst. Expressions, coming from all parts of the country, indicate that this organi- zation will become the largest and strongest political club ever organized in this part of the state. Arrangements are being made to go to Hot Springs in special car, and it is not unlikely that a speci- al train may be chartered.
 Besides Carroll six other county
The Green Forest tribune., 1904-04-16

conventions have instructed for Hearst, one for David R. Francis; and only one Judge Parker. The fact that the remaining sixty six counties are uncommitted, with a strong popular sentiment for Hearst, is construed as a con- dition favoring the success of the Hearst movement.
 A break by Arkansas from the solid column claimed for Parker in the south, it is belived, would be followed by other southern states if it did not stampede the entire gre up.

DEATH OF J. ONA COLLIER.
Passes Away Rather Suddenly on the Night of the Sth Inst.


 on the Night of the Sth Inst.
 J. o. Collier, county clerk of Carroll couty, died at his home in Berryville on Friday night of last week after brief but severe illness, the cause being rheuma- tism superinduced by pneumonia fever.
 Some weeks ago he suffered an attack of rheumatism which had incapacitated him for the duties of his office, but he was able to be up and out part of the time, and the announcement of his death came both as great surprise and shock to the people of the entire county.
 The funeral sermon was preach ed at 12:30 on Sunday at the Methodist church by Rev. E. W. McCracken of Cassville, Mo. He paid fitting tribute to the memory of the honored man who had so suddenly and unexpected ly fallen among us. He found in his life many commendable traits of character and few that were not. In his sudden taking away he saw an alarming example of the necessity of being prepared for the fateful hour of death.
 After services at the church the body was taken to the 1. o. 0. E. cemetery for interment. It was one of the largest attended oc- casions of the kind ever witnessed in the county, and in point of at tendance on the part of the fra ternal orders was perhaps the largest ever held in this part of the state. There were almost if not quite 100 Masons and prob- ably half as many Odd Fellows participating in the ceremonies. Large delegations of the members of both orders were present from both Green Forest and Eureka Springs.
 BIOGRAPHICAL.
 Joseph Ona Collier was thirty one years old. He was a son of Yell Collier of Carrollton town ship, and was one of the most prominent citizens and politicians of the county.
 In 1896 he was married to Miss Lillie Ross of Berryville and to their union has beon born three girls, Meta, Marie and Cathleen, all of whom survive him.
 In 1900 Mir. Collier was nomi- mated by the democratic party and elected to the office of county clerk, being nominated and elect ed again in 1902. He had held the office with credit of himself and to the satisfaction, we believe, of the people of the county.
 He was prominent in the fraternal orders of the county, holding membership in three lodges, Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. At the time of his death he held the office of master of Ashley Lodge No. 66, F. 6. A. M., at Berryville.
