EX-SENATOR J. K. JONES DEAD
Succumbs to an Attack of Heart
Failure.
Was Bryan's Campaign Manager in Both
His Presidential Campaigns-To
be Buried Today. III

Ex-senator James K. Jones of
Arkansas died at Washington, D.
c., at 5, SO Monday afternoon, his
death probably being due to heart
failure following slight indisposi-
ton of the morning, which caused
him to remain at his home during
the day.
Senator Jones was apparently
we'll and hearty Sunday and re-
tired Sunday evening with no in
timation of approaching illness.
Monday morning, however he was
indisposed and chose to remain at
home. During the afternoon his
condition became more serious
but was not considered critical un-
til few minutes before the end
came. While it is believed that
heart trouble was the cause of
death physicians have not fully de-
termined the exact cause.
1t is believed by members of the
family that the heavy load of bus
mess cares and worries of the past
few months, coupled with an ac-
tive interest in the Democratic
party of the nation, contributed to
the condition which brought
about his death.
Senator Jones returned to Wash
ington last Friday, having spent
some time visiting his daughter,
Mrs. S. M. Carrigan of Hope and
also visited friends in Little Rock.
He was at his law Office in the
Colorado building on Saturday
and on Sunday attended church as
usual.
To Be Buried Today.

Senator James K. Jones of Arkan-
sas, who died at his residence in
this city yesterday, will be buried
in Rock Creek cemetery here
Thursday afternoon. The funeral
services will be held at the family
residence.

elected permanent secretary. Mr..
Robinson delivered splendid ad-
dress to the convention, pointing
out the great evils fostered by the
Republican party and the opportu-
nifty for Democratic victory at the
November election.
The convention then adopted an
order of business and took a recess
until 3 p. m.
At the beginning of the after
noon session Senator James P.
Clarke addressed the convention,
thanking them for his unopposed
nomination to succeed himself.
Donaghey is Nominated.
Hon. Sam Frauenthal was then
recognized, and in an eloquent ad-
dress, presented the name Of
Faulkner county's favorite son,
George w. Donaghey. The NOM
ination was made by acclamation
and tremendous ovation was
given Mr.. Donaghey as he mount
ed the rostrum to deliver his speech
of acceptance. He very fervently
expressed his gratitude to the
Democracy for the trust they were
imposing in him, at the same time
assuring them he had not the least
illwill toward those who had sup
ported either of his opponents. He
did not attempt to outline any pol
icy of administration, but said that
he believed that the people had
elected him because they thought
he could do something for the
State, and in this he earnestly
hoped not to disappoint them. He
would be Governor of all the peo-
pie and would strictly confne him
self to the duties of the executive
without attempting to interfere with
any other department.
Mr.. Donaghey was at his best
and his speech aroused the conven-
ton 20 a higher pitch of enthus-
iasm than was displayed at any
time during the session.
The Big Four Named.
The only real fight of yesterdays
session was precipitated when the
election of the four delegates-at-
large was taken up.
Judge Jeptha Evans, in an i'm
passioned speech, put in nomina-
ton for two of these places of honor
Senators James P. Clarke and Jeff
Davis. Governor Elect George w.
Donaghey was nominated by John
T. Hicks of Little Rock. Judge
Elliott of Pine Bluff placed before
the convention the name of Hon.
Clifton R. Breckinridge of Sebas-
tain. Former Senator James H.
Berry was nominated amid great
cheers, but asked his friends not to
press his election and in turn NOM
mated Prof. John H. Hinemon of
Clark county. Other nominations
were Hon. James H. Harrod and
Secretary of State O. c. Ludwig
of Little Rock and M. V. Tomp-
kins of Prescott.
Three Faulkner Men Selected.
The roll of delegates by counties
was called and the vote was scat
tered among all the nominees, the
ballot being vica voce, free and
open, without any evidence of
wire-pulling. At the conclusion Of
the vote, Chairman Robinson an
nounced the result and it was seen
that of the four delegates, three
are men who may be claimed by
Faulkner county as their own, the
successful candidates being George
w. Donaghey, James P. Clarke,
James H. Harrod and O. c. Lud-
wig. Mr.. Donaghey, of course,
being a citizen of this county, Mr..
Harrod a native of Faulkner, and
Mr.. Ludwig for several years one
of our leading citizens and editor
of this paper.
The ballot stood as follows:

 FOR EMPoRIA oRoUF
,I'rom Thursdays DaIIy)

So we'll pleased is Richard !. Lynch, representative of the New York syndi. cate that recently purchased the Elm pofia group of mines, with the develop ment of that property, that he and his associates in the management have un. der consideration the installation of a ten stamp mill at m early date. The appointments of the plant will be such as ,o admit of the doubling of its ca. pacity at n small expense whenever de. sired. The boiler and engine capacity will be double that required for tho ;en stamp mill and will also be con- strueted with view of furnishing power to run a Huntington mill which will be installed in connection with the other plant, provided the development of large vein of low grade orc now being opened, warrants it.
 The new working shaft is now down %5 feet. The ore body has been widen. ing as depth is gained until 1t is now the full width of the shaft. A hoisting plant is now under installation which will be ready to run in week. It Is the intention of the management tc push the shaft down several hundred feet and develop the vein by drifts from each hundred foot level.
 Tents and houses are being erected al the camp for the accommodation of the force of miners employed which will bs increased from time to time as fast a' there is rom for economic employment in tho development.
 The Emporia group of ten claims Il located seven miles south of this cit, on the Prescott and Senator stag, road. The Emporia claim, one of th principal locations of the group, has good record in gold production, al though it was never opened to any cor siderable depth. There k mill sit with never failing water supply GOV cred by the locations of the group. an

He returned at li:3C O clock and on nearing the place, saw the house enveloped in flames. H' made n dtermined bu, futile effort {, quench the fire, which consumed th' buildings and it's contents, but was on ly successful in keeping it from spread ing to the forest.
 After the burning cmbers had beer | extipguished he left for the camp of miner a short distance away, where h' borrowed n shirt and came to this city Fortunately his trunk, containing hi wearing apparel, was stored in hote in this city.
 Kelly is an old time miner of th county and has been engaged in the dc velopment of the Hearst group O mines, which he located some year ago, since the closing of operations a the Humboldt smelter. He will renal in the city to enjoy the Fourth of Jul festivities, after which nc will retur to camp and rebuild his place prepars tory to resuming the development Q
