and Protective Order of Elks.
IN MEMoRIUM.
Whereas, The Supreme Ruler having
seen fit to pluck from our midst our
Brother John ]. Kirby:
Be it resolved. That in his depar-
ture from us we have lost one of our
guiding lights.
AS the presiding officer of our lodge
he commanded the highest esteem and
respect of every member. AS a broth
er member he was the embodiment of
all that was generous and noble. As
a friend he was all that that word sig
nihes in it's purest sense. To the
world at large he fully practiced the
justice and charity he so often instill-
ed into the hearts of others.
His loss to our order will be greatly
felt, and while his welcome presence
will be seen no more in our midst, MS
precepts and example will remain with
us so long as memory shall last. 1t
is hard for us to express proper
sense of the heavy stroke which has
fallen upon us, and we can only seek
consolation by not dwelling on the
dark side of the picture, but rather
look to it's brighter aspect, in the be-
lief that he has gone to higher
sphere, and that what is loss to US,
is to him "unspeakable gain" We
have lost a brother below, but gained
an advocate above"
1t is our fervent prayer that his be-
reaved family may be divinely comfort
ed in their sore trial. by feeling that
though dead he still liveth."
There is no death! An Angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away;
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate
lie plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
Resolved, That a page in our min
utes be devoted to his memory, and
that a copy of these resolutions be
suitably inscribed and transmitted to
his family.

10 session for period Of twelve days
during which time we have gone care
fully over all OF said records, books !sc-
counts and are gratifed to state that we
have found no lack OF diligence on the
part Of our worthy county officials, and
hereby congratulate them upon the
efficient service they have SO faithfully
rendered the county.
OF the various warrants redeemed and
ready for burning we find as follows:
County general warrants. $2.67l 5S
school warrants. $35, 1884, As, and road
warrants, fl2, ,068. 90.
After very careful investigation OF
the books of Treasurer ]. s. Grammar. /.
we find cash on hand, $26 Os2 33: county
scrip, 81, ,023. 90; road warrants, " 96l &.
Al school warrants, q, S92. %; total.
49,, ,959 81.
We find Sheriff Pitcock,s accounts
correct in every way, having made his
settlements with both county and state.
Our worthy clerks. D. W. Moore .Jr.
and R. B, Winfrey, are due our special
commendstion on the manner In which
their respective books and accounts
have been kept.
Upon the findings In the matter Of the
county poor farm. it would seem that the
cost of keeping patients on the farm Ia
$50 per head per month, but under the
faithful and diligent management of the
present superintendent, o. W. White, an
abundant crop and harvest has beer
made, and 1t is the opinion OF this com
mission that the cost Of keeping patients
for the next year can be greatly reduced
otherwise it would bs better for the
county to sell the farm.
In the matter OF the reports Of somt
of the justices, they have failed to make
said reports on the forms furnished for
the purpose, and In a great many In
stances failed to date same or report tc
whom the fines were paid.
In concluding we would not fail t.
thank our county officials for kindnesseI
and courtesies during our work In theil
midst.

TO take such action as will induce
the local authorities of Arkansas
to comply with the provisions OF

Mr. Loomis states that he Is IN.
formed by the British ambassador
that the British consular officers
IN the United States report that
not only have the local authori'
ties generally failed TO carry out
the procedure enioined by the

SiIcker was Wrecked.

From Sundays Fort Smith Times.
Train Nc. 95, commonly known as the
'Slicker, - of the Frisco system, due in
this city at S:45 pm, was wrecked at
the corner Of First and II streets Friday
evening. No one was killed but Fireman
Henry Smith Of the passenger train was
seriously scaded and was taken to Belle
Point hospital.
There are two versions of the cause Of
the wreck. One is that the switching
crew had flagman stationed in the lower
end of the yards to warn the passenger
that the track was not clear and the en-
gineer either disregarded the flag or else
did not see It for he ran by and collided
with the switch engine No. 2703 as she
was making u siding, The other version
is that the train left here In the evening
and was late. The switching crew was
appraised Of this fact and was not ex.
pecting them 80 soon. The engineer on
the passenger had made up some OF the
lost time and appeared Unexpectedly.
The lights OF the oncoming train were
noticed but II was supposed to be the
local freight train and when the switch-
man saw 1t recognizing 1t as the Slicker.
he "highbslled his engine to get into
the clear and the switch engine WAS jnst
entering the siding when it WAS struck,
The engines struck qusrtering, the
switch engine being the heaviest WAS
the least damaged, the cylinder on the
left side was torn of and the front Of 1t
bent and twisted. This engine remained
on the track. With the Slicker engine
No. 80, the wreck was complete. The
pilot was torn completely OIL and lay by
the side Of the track, the pony trucks
bent and twisted lay on either side, while
the remaining portions Of the engine
were piled into heap beside the track
ready for the scrap pile The only part
that remained intact was the boiler,
Engineer Bush jumped and received no
injuries. while Fireman Smith WAS less
fortunate, and was caught In the wreck
and badly scalded before he WAS released
1t WAS thought at the time that he could
not recover, but late reports state that he
will, The train was delayed Ave hours
while the wreckage WAS being cleared
away and the track placed In condition
30 traffic could be resumed.
