MR. BRYAN predicts that the time IS not far distant when there will be a decided change in the alignment of the two leading political parties. Some who are now Democrats will be found in the ranks of the Republican party and vice versa. The Democrats, he says, will secure their recruits from the west and the Republi- cans from the east. Those who have been observing the trend of events will not doubt that Mir. Bryan is very near correct in his surfnises.

 when she would succumb to the disease. Funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church
 Friday afternoon at , o'clock. conducted by the pastor. Ed. J. 4. Smith. and the remains were laid to rest in Bluff Ceme- ! tery.
 ] Mollie Nj. Pendergrass was born in Yell County, Ark. Feb ruary 15. 1872. and moved with her parents 10 Morrilton in lss4. and from there to Springdale iu November, 1893. She was edu- cated principally in the schools al Morrillton, and after aequir- ing an education she began teach ing there and after the family came 10 Springdale she again took up her school work. having taught number of terms in the public schools at this place. Her work in the school room was characterized by patience and gentleness, and her pupils were her devoted friends. At the age Of eleven years she united with the Baptist Church and was an enthusiastic worker in both Church and Sunday School.
 IL was in Springdale that she met Dr. Meehan and 1t was here that he wooed and won her. When the Doctor left Springdale in December. 1898, to make his home al Staplehurst, Neb.. the knowing ones predicted that when he got the home ready there would De wedding The predictions proved true, and in April following Miss Mollie join- ed him in Nebraska and they were married al the home of Dr. Potter of Seward. Tn time sweet little girl. Ida, came to bless their home and bring added sunshine into the lives of the loving parents. It was an ideal little home where love and laugh ter reigned. The doctor prosper ed in his profession and counted as uaught the hardships and ex- posures incident to the life of successful country physician when he thought Of the treasures for whom he labored. Until q few months ago no cloud had cast shadow over the home, but then 1 1t was discovered that tuberculos- is had become implanted in the system of Mrs. Meehan. Every effort was made to stay the dis ease and prevent it's reaching her lungs. She was taken to Hot Springs, and then to Boston, where the services of the best specialists might be procured. but all to no purpose. The dis ease had marked her for it's vic tim and nothing could check its merciless course. In October the little family came to Springdale from Boston to await the end. The deceased was woman of beautiful character, and to know her was to love and respect her. Her life was characterized by kind and unobtrusive acts, and throughout her illness she bore her afflictions with characteristic patience. In her death Dr. Nee han and little Ida have sustained an irreparable loss. In their sad bereavement they have the heart felt sympathy of all.

BECAUSE OF REMORSE
Domestic Scandal and Death
of Daughter Prey Upon
Mrs. Tracy.

Tragedy seems to be the predominant
hue in the life of Sarah A. Tracy, who
killed herself yesterday morning at her
residence, 124 Plymouth street, Ocean
View. by swallowing carbolic acid.
On December e of last year her 20
year-old daughter, May Tracy. was suffo-
Gated by illuminating gas in the Prescott
House, Kearny street She and girl
Eamed Nellie Lanigan, alias Johnson. en-
gagged a room shortly after o'clock in
the evening. They were very much un-
der the influence of liquor and at O'Clock
in the morning they were found dead in
bed, the gas escaping from q partly
opened burner. The girl had lived with
her mother at Ocean View. Her father,
Thomas Tracy, who gave his address as
3l39 San Jose avenue, paid the funeral ex-
penses.
About two weeks ago young English
man named Wilson. who had been living
in the same house with Mrs. Tracy,
killed himself with carbolic acid just over
the line In San Mateo County. 1t was
reported at the time that he and Mrs
Tracy had been accused by Mr.. Tracy OF
having been on too intimate terms.

With q forlorn hope the Mohrs waited
