His constant daily acts of unselfsh love and affection to his children is their richest and most cherished leg acy. His unfailing solicitude and tenderness exhibited througnout his busy life will constitute to them the sweetest and most hal lowed memory. No one could be more devoted to his family than MT.

 Gods finger touched him and he sleeps
 Thy will, Oh God, be done, should be the sentiment of every stricken heart on earth. But this should not suppress our natural grief over our departed friend. It does however mellow that grief and infuse into it the con- solation of hope. May the grief of the children and relatives of our friend b. thus satisfied by submission to the will of God.
 Farewell, my friend, a fond and tender farewell.

HON. EUGENE E. WHITE.

The subject of this sketch de
 parted this life at Sulphur, Okla
 last Saturday, and will be buried
 there today. His death is a grea, surprise and shock to his many friends in this county. He was
 born, educated, and until 1895 resided here. He is remembered and loved by all of the old set. tiers of this locality. He was for twenty years identified with the best interest of Prescott.
 During his residence here he was called to an unusual number of positions. He was efficient in all and in many he excelled. He and his brother established the flrst newspaper ever published in this county, "The Banner. " The name was afterwards chang ed to 'The Picayune," under which name it is still published.
 AS an editor he had no super for and few equals in the State. His forceful pen was always welded on the side of justice, right and good government. In an effort to maintain a daily in Hot Springs when conditions were not favorable. he suffered great financial loss which left him considerably in debt.
 He served at one time as school director. town alderman and dep- uty clerk. He represented the county in the General Assembly and was a careful, conscientious legislator. He was a member of this bar and a good business law yer.
 He served the Federal Govern ment during President Cleve- lands first administration as spe- cial Indian Agent and during the second as Chief of the Division of Indian Affairs in the Interior Depart ent. In both places he displayed great executive ability and held to a marked degree the confidence and respect of the Chief Executive and also of Sec retaries Smith and Lamar, who to him some of the most investigations that had to be made.
 He was genial, gentle and kind.
 He was forcible in expression and fearless in conflict. His con- victions and conduct were the product of reason. not of passion. He was deferen tial to all woman hood and courteous to all man. hood always a gentleman in his manner and department. But when wrong threatened the pre- ,erves of right he started up Not like the fox that shuns the
 snare,
 But lion of the hunt aware. '"

and the tree is fenced in on his pro-
