Rev. Ross Moore, 3i years old, pas tor ot the First Deptist church, of this city, one of the largest in Ar kansas, and prominent in religion3 circles throughout the State, died at 3:l5 o'clock Thursday morning at the Florence Sanit1rium nere His death removes one of the most pcp,liar and honored ministers in the state. a. vel as one c! the most brilliant and in fluential pulpit orators. The end had been expected for several fs.ya fer his condition was most critical. All of his relatives were with him when he passed away.
 Reverend Moore had been confined to his bed at intervals since his re turn from the State Baptist conyt h. tion, November l7. He underwent ] serious operation at the inGrmary No ycmber 27. being on operating table

 The Graphic approves the sugges- 'tions made by President Byrd. Mayor Toney and the Committee on Safety in requesting that Judge Gould and Dr. Caldwell remain in the National 'capital until they accomplish the ob- |ject of their mission. By remaining lin Washington and making a person |al visit to the various repre- sentatives in Congress these officials can secure the early passage of Congressman Joe IT. Robinson's bill. appropriating $250.00O for government work here If the matter dies out the bil1 is liable to meet the same fate of so many measures of like nature which are presented in the Congressional body The business men of Pine Bluff re- alize the necessity of securing the appropriation and they arc demanding that the matter be not permitted to die. The damage done here by the
 river is still fresh in the minds of the members of Congress and it requires only a determined campaign among them to induce them to give us i'm mediate relief.
 Judge Gould and .Dr. Caldwell ar able men. They can readily convince the Senators and Congressman of oul immediate needs and their servic as there will be appreciated more by their constituents than all the serv- ice they could render at home be tween now and the holidays, when Congress will take a temporary ad- journment.

for more than three and a haif huurs.
 He enjoyed splendid health after his
 return from Europe. but he suffered
 a physical collapse last May and be-
 cause of the fact that he had taken
 no substantial nourishmcnt for more
 than three months preceding his
 death, the operation naturally left him in a weakened condition and for
 two days his condition was alarm ing. He rallied however and hopes
 were entertained for his ultimate re- covery, for four or five days Bat last Monday he took a turn for the
 worse and he sank rapidly. Human skill and medical science were r.- |sorted to save him. but it proved of no avail. Surrounded by his aged lparents, his devoted wife and daugh- |ter and sister and brothers, the end came Thursday morning.
 Reverend Moore is survived by his wife and little daughter, three years | of age; his parents, Mr. and Mrs, E. N. Moore. of Obion, Tennessee; two sisters, Mrs. Hattie Milan and Miss

 President Roosevelt, has addressed a letter to Mayor w. l.. Toney. of this city, ill which he discusses the pro- posed cutoff ill the Arkansas river, opposite this city. The letter is in |reply to a letter sent President Roose- welt by Mayor Toney in which the latter requested the chief executive Ito authorize the United States engi- |neer at this place to make the cut off on the Boyd place, to protect Pine Bluff.
 MT. Loeb encloses a letter from Secretary of War Luke E. Wright in which the latter explains why the cut off is not advisable at this time.
 Mir. Loeb's letter to Mayor Toney follows:
 The White House, Washington, Dec. z, 1908. My Dear Mir. Mayor: Referring to recent correspondence requesting that the United States en- gineer at Pine Bluff be authorized to make cutoff in the Arkansas river opposite that city in order to relieve the city from threatened damage by flood. l beg to send you. by direction

ciition.
 Reverend Moore was man of q
 high sense of honor; exceptional abil-
 ity~ compelling eloquent and attractive
 influence, He was devoted to his
 work and his accomplishments were
 the results of untiring efforts, char-
 teriZed by earnestness and sincerity
 His love for his church and his con-
 grcsation was illustrated on many oc.
 casions, when he arose from 8 sick bed and although almost too weak ta walk, he would go to his pulpit and
 prs ach sermons full of knowledge and
 religious teachings. The sick were never overlooked by him nor the des- |titute or poor forgotten. Few per- sons in the South enjoyed such popu- larity and it is doubtless if there is Ia minister where who is so much loved by his people.
 Death loves a shining mark" No
 where can the truth of this be more fully illustrated than in the loss of
 this beloved man. He was kind and |sympathetic at all times, happy in his work and he guarded we'll the sa- cred trust committed to his care. Can we wonder at the influence he excrted over his people, when we think how he gained their love and es- tetm by the power of his love and sympathy,
 You may break, you may shattnr the vase, if you will
 But the scent of the roses will hang round it still"
 His influence in the home was equally as great. He was kind gentle and affectionate son, brother husband and father.
 It seems that the Master has chosen the fairest flowers with which to gar land the gardens of Heaven. We are born for a higher destiny than earth There is realm where the rainbow
 never fades. when the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, where deatl is like sleep. leaving the darknes!
