FORTY DAMAGE SUITS.

Hot Springs, April 23. Circuit court will take up the celebrated explosion cases upon converting here Monday. There are forty of these damage suits, which grew out of the Turf Exchange explosion a little more than a year ago. The explosion is al legged to have been caused by the man delivering the gasoline per- mitting it to run over the tank, charging the floor beneath the Turf Exchange and causing an explosion from lighted cigars in the pool room. There were about fifty persons injured, three deaths and a number crippled for life.
 All the injured brought suit for damages against the Waters Pierce Oil Company, Chambers & Walker and the lighting plant. Only one case has been tried, and that was decided against the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, the court holding that company's agent solely responsible for the catastrophe.

 It is the intention of the officers and men to make the Newport company one of the best in the state, and this can be easily ac- complished if the proper interest is taken on the part of the young men and a little encouragement given by the people.

the ripening of old age


 h the ripening of old age
 Then youth and middle life's Ambitions have either beer achieved or found unworthy o1 the struggle and the veteran o1 busy life is left to contemplate X and act upon the true purposes A of living, another Jackson county m pioneer has been called home to 1rest from the afflictions and trials bf human existence.
 The solace of the companion ehip of a lovely helpmeet had een denied him in his last few 10nths, but the loss of this be-
 Sed one had in a large measure resigned him to the call that would reclaim to him in immor- tal ties the soul of this preceding pilgrim. Through the suffering If these last months, caused from ' cancer of the face, whose con- quest was inevitable, the happy memory of this sweet compan- ionship was ever present in the reunion promised by their com 81non faith.
 The end came at 9:10 o'clock Sunday night, the family circle of the departing soul gathered about, ministering with tender est devotion. Death had not come unexpected, for it had been realized for several months that he was gradually sinking.
 Funeral Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from St. Paul's Episco- pal church, conducted by Rev. George Norton. Burial at Wal nut Grove cemetery in the family vault.
 LIFE OF DECEASED.
 George Washington Hurley was born in Baltimore, Maryland, 1929. The death of his parents early in life, threw him upon his own resources. His first employ ment was as an apprentice to a tailor, and from that he continued to climb in business pursuits. At the time of his death he was vice president of the First National Rank and one of the city's largest property owners.
 In war, he served with distinc- \tion, responding to the call of the National government in the dis pute with Mexico over Texas. When the struggle between the North and South rent the country in twain, he cast his fortunes with Dixie land and participated in a number of the battles of the Western army, winning a cap taincy by his valor.
 In coming West he first located at Augusta, then at Newport in 1872. being one of the pioneer settlers.
 He has been prominent in the circles of Odd Fellowship for many years, and in recognition of his work and devotion to the order, had been honored with the highest office in the gift of the Odd Fellows of Arkansas. To him may properly be ascribed much of the credit for the estab- lishment of that benefcent insti- tuition, the orphans home at Batesville.
 His heart was in the great work. He loved it better than his church, though he had been confirmed in the Episcopal de- nomination. The brotherhood of man was as much his religion as the fatherhood of God. And in the floral tribute that will bedeck his grave will be offered a testi- monial of the esteem of his fol lowmen.
 To those who are bowed in the sorrow of his demise is extended the sympathy of tender-hearteo x,nr,o7,,t11aifxy and f1Q0nla

REPUBLICANS NoNpLUssED.

Six months ago when the Repub'i-
cans believed the Democrats would
not nominate Folk, there were a lot
OF them eager for the Republican
nomination for Governor. Nov, how
ever, nobody wants The empty honor.
Pat Dyer declines with thanks
Assistant United states District At
torney Bert d. NorLoni has received
the indorse,uent Of several counties
and Congressional districts for the
Gubernatorial nomination He has
given IL out TO his friends that he is
not a candidate now lie says tDat he
Is attending strictly to his duties as a
Federal ofllceholder, says the Shelbina
MOI Democrat.
Some time ago in AN interview he
said:
"My work caunOt be compared with
that OF Mr.. Folk. He Is entitled TO
great credit. am entitled TO none."
A member of the Republican COM
mittee said the otler day:
"There won't be any close counties
they will all be for Folk. The idea
Of our fighting Folk is preposterous.
Another member OF the Republican
committee said:
"I think that Mr.. Folk will carry
the State, while we may carry 81.
Louis II the present light continues. !"
But William II. Hahn, former Re-
corder of Deeds and one of the best in
formed Republicans in north St.
Louis, said:
"There is no use in Republicans
putting up ticket against Folk. He
will be elected without doubt, SO
what is the use OF wasting ammunl-
tion. The State is aroused and when
the people feel as they do at the pres
ent time, 1t is better for the party to
stand with this sentiment than op-
pose it,"
Ex-Mayor Walbridge had big boom
for the Republican nomination. three
months ago, but now close friends OF
bis make no bones Of stating that he
said he will not run against Folk un-
der any circumstances.
Thus Republicans, save the Globe
Democrat and some other blind
partisans, are one by one conceding
the election of the Democratic ticket
in Missouri this fall.
