Killed the Man Who
Stole Wife and Baby,

Calico Rock, Ark, Sept 3
Meagor reports OF a killing IN
Stone county, ten or twelve
miles from here which occurred
the first of last week, reached here
Friday.
A man by the name of Branum
did the killing and Frank Rorie
was the victim.
1t is said that Rorie was pre-
pairing to leave the country with
Branlm's wife and child, and
that Branum warned him not to
take his child on penalty of death.
It seems that he did not object to
the woman leaving, but would
not consent to give up his child
Rorie and the woman, however,
disregarded the warning, and
taking the child in the wagon
with them started to leave, but
we're overtaken by the husband
and father, who demanded the
possession of the child, and again
warned Rorie that he would kill
him if he did not give up the
child. Rorie attempted to draw
a gun at this junoture and Bra
mum poured the contents Of his
gun into him. Branum appears
to have been as cool and collected
as he was determined, for it is
said he helped to remove the
wounded man from the wa
gon to the shade Of "a tree, and
later to his (Branum's) own home
where he died sometime the next
day. While Rorie lay mortally
wounded, it is said Branum re-
marked: 81 told you would kill
you if you took my baby" to
whiaE Rorie replied, Eyes and
yor! i,ay g d--near done it.'
The latest reports from the
neighborhood where the killing
occurred say that Branum is
pursuing the even tenor OF his
way unmolested by the authorl.
ties, and that the woman is either
insane or feigning.

STATE HOUSE WORK HINDERED.
The Pieiiicr Quarry at Batesville is mol
Furnishing Necessary Stone.

Progress seems to be at a
standstill on the state capitol. 1t
is all due to the inability of the
Pfeiffer Stone Co. of Batesv vile to
furnish the stone rapidly enough
TO enable the contractors to push
the work with the requisite expe-
dition to complete the building
within a reasonable length of time.
Something will have to be done,
and for this reason the next meet
irg of the state capitol commission
on September the 13 will be a
most important one.
When Supt. C. W. Caldwell,
brother of Contractor Caldwell, OF
Caldwell & Drake, was seen with
reference to the situation he SAID !:
"We had intended to close
down yesterday evening for lack
Of material, Lut at 4 O'Clock two
more carloads of stone arrived
from Batesyille, which will keep
our limited force at work for two
days. We have thirty stone cut
ters, and total Of about forty
five men on our rolls, when we
should have 500. Our first car
load of stone was received May
q and the promise was that we
would have at least a carload a
day. Instead of the ninety-nine
loads this would have given US,
We have received only thirty, and
since it will require about 500
C lrloads tc complete the work, q
school child can figure out how
Il1ng it will take to get enough
stone at that rate. We shall go
before the board and present the
case plainly, and recommend a
change in the stone to Bedford
limestone or Cleveland sand stone
and if that should be done we
could get fifteen carloads a day
if necessary, and easily complete
the building in two years. Some
thing of this sort will have to be
done if the present generation
want to see the new state capitol.
The first story could be complet-
ed of the Batesville stone, and
the rest Of it of the other stone. J"

Arkansas Apples On Top.

A dispatch from st. Louis says:
Great interest and enthusiasm
nave been manifested in the Hor-
ticultural hall over the contest as
to which state could show the
largest fruit. Arkansas, from the
opening of the fair until August
23, has kept the flag waving over
the largest apple in the building,
having on display all the time
APPLES weighing twenty-three
ounces and measuring fifteen and
one half inches.
On August 90 the superintend-
enr of the Oklahoma exhibit came
over with an apple measuring
fifteen and one-half inches and
weighing twenty-four ounces and
demanded the flag. 1t was sur
rendered cheerfully, with in
structions to take good care OF it,
"a Arkansas would call for it
again in a short while.
The morning of the 241h
brought from James Howard the
apple that redeemed the flag 1t
was sixteen and one-half inches
in circumference, and weighed
twenty-nine ounces, go Arkansas
brought the flag back, and now
it waves over the largest apple
that has been exhibited in the
Horticultural hall.
The victory of Oklahoma was
very short lived, lasting only the
small space Of twenty four hours

Had this expenditure been eliminated, in

a surplus. Does anyone believe that the

such a cost? Is there anyone who doubts
that the $12000,G00 expended for rural
delivery will breed other millions, which,
although not directly discoyerable in pos

entry on the credit side of the great pub

AN INFAMOUS ACCUSATION
Senator Bai1ey's Charge that Roose-
Welt Advocates Lynch Law.

Senator Bai1ey's Charge that Roose-
Welt Advocates Lynch Law.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, in a speech
made in Brooklyn, August %, and re
ported in the class of journalism known
as yellow" and disreputable, declared
that the President had been an advocate
Of lynch law. The Senator goes further
and becomes more definite. He refers
to the shooting and lynching of sixty
horse thieves in Montana and then makes
q blunt accusation against the man who
will be again President of the United
States.
Here is a man." said the speaker,
''who advocates lynch law as a penalty
for stealing something unheard of in my
part of the country. Lynch law is APP
Piled there sometimes, but only for one
crime, an unspeakable crime"
Here is man, Senator from Texas,
who BADLY and recklessly makes the
statement from the platform that the
President of the United States advo-
Gates lynching for certain crimes. The
thing is infamous, but so shallow and
so false upon its face that it cannot
affect the thought or action of any Amer
lean citizen. Senator Bailey has be-
come conspicuous in the political affairs,
not merely of the largest State in the
Union. but in the conduct of affairs by
the Senate of the United States. He
has the gift of oratory, he has a GER
tain forcefulness, but it is most unfor-
tunate that in the makeup of his men
tai composition he does not recognize the
fact that orators should never tell bald
lies, even in the utmost heat of politi-
cal campaign.
The thing is so absurd, so utterly out
of the question that one cannot under
stand why this Texas Senator was 50
lacking in tact. sense and Judgment, as
to intimate that Mr.. Roosevelt could
compromise with lynching under any cir
cumstanCes.
The attitude of the President has al
ways been to demand the utmost observ-
ance of all enacted laws He has shown
it at all times. throughout his whole
career. rislling at one time. his political
future. ny enforcing in the State of
New York the laws, which he may not
have himself countenanced, but any
where and everywhere he has shown him

self such a delicate and forceful regard
er of all laws enacted, that, in this one
respect, he stands almost splendidly
alone.
Now comes one Of the Senators Of
the greatest State-in area-in the
Union and says that Theodore Roosevelt
is an advocate of lynch law! How came
it that he has uttered such false and
foolish words?
The condition and mood and proper
ton of all things among the American
people is such that no campaign of vii
iication will be endured this year. So
grossly in bad taste, SO utterly inexcus-
able from any point of view, is this
assault from Senator Bailey, that it
passes almost beyond the realm Of ques-
tioning. 1t is ipcomprehensible.

PROSPERITY AND POLITICS.
Why Should Anyone Desire a Change
of Existing Conditions?

Why Should Anyone Desire a Change
of Existing Conditions?
When Mr.. Mckinley was first elected
President in 1896 the country was in the
midst of an Industrial panic. Business
was depressed, trade was paralyzed and
confidence was destroyed. This was the
result of four years of Democratic rule.
The election of Mckinley was followed
by an immediate revival of trade, which
continued throughout his administration
and to the present time.
Our foreign trade increased enormous
ly during Mr.. McI<inley's administration.
In 1899 we sold foreign nations 81, 227,-
443, 425 worth of American products and
in return bought only 1896, 007, 1888, or a
balance of trade in our favor of $531,-
366,037; for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1893, we sold foreign nations $1,231,-
800, $50 worth Of products, and in return
bought only S616,2O5, 159, a balance Of
trade in our favor of $615, 100000. The
total balance of trade in our favor during
the two years was 81. 145, 100000
Compare this with the last two years
of Cleveland's administration under the
tariff act of 1894 During those two
years the balance of trade in our favor
was only $2S7, 100000, as against ST.
14J, 100000 during the last two years of
the Mckinley administration. One was
under the Democratic tariff of 1894 and
the other under the Dingley law, which
is still in force.
Since the election of Mckinley in 1896
the country has been lifted out of chaos,
stagnation and financial depression and
brought into an era of prosperity the
like of which was never before written
on the pages of history. Why should
any patriotic American wish to exchange
present conditions for those which pre-
vailed under a Democratic tariff and ad-
ministration?

ALMOST LIKE PROPHECY.
Rooscve1t's View as to Qualifications of
the Vice President.

the Vice President.
Theodore Roosevelt is not a prophet,
nor the son of prophet but he looks at
things very straight and sees into them
pretty clearly.
During the presidential campaign of
1896 the editor of the Review OF Reviews
asked Mr.. Roosevelt, who was then Pres
ident of the New York Police Board,
to write an article on the Vice Presi-
dency, together with comments on the
three candidates who had been nominal
ed respectively by the Republicans the
Democrats and the Populists Following
is an extract from Mr. Rooseyelt's arti-
Gle:
1.-The Vice President should so far as
possible, represent the same views and
principles which have secured the nomi-
nation and election of the President, and
he should be man standing well in the
councils of the party, trusted by his fell
low leaders, and able, in the event of any
accident to his chief, to take up the work
of the latter just where it was left
This was written nearly four years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was even mentioned
for Vice President, and before his cleo
ton as Governor of New York. He was
nominated for Vice President against his
own wishes because the Republican party
believed that if elected he would be able.
in the event of any accident to Mr. Nc
Kinley, to take up and carry on the work
of the latter, and history has proved the
correctness of this view.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's first public utterance
after he succeeded to the office of Presi-
dent was promise to carry on the work
OF his lamented chief to. the best of his
ability and strength. How faithfully and
successfully he has done so is shown by
the history he has helped to make In
the light of subsequent events what he
wrote in 1896 regarding the qualifications
of Vice President seems almost like

Wa. rh.re ANY crimea

1.-THE crime of '73," when silver was
'sdemonetized,' seems TO have been for
gotten by the Democratic party, which, in
1896 and 1900, SO bitterly accused the
Republican party of the ''crime." Or
has the party really discovered that there
was no crime, after all-only a premedi-
tated scheme of the Republican party to
ally itself with the intelligence of the
country and win popular gratitude by a
financial policy that brought prosperity ?
