STERLING M'NIEL. l.
 VICTIM OF STORM
CITIZEN OF OAK HILL NEIGHBOR- HOOD STRUCK BY llGHTEN-
 EWING TUESDAY EVENING.
HIS DEATH WAS INSTANE0US
Was in the Act of Doing Up His Chores When the Volt Landed Him
 Suddenly into Eternity.

Sterling McNiel, a well known farmer and resident of Oak Hill neighborhood, was instantly killed by a stroke of Tightening during the electrical storm Tuesday evening about six o'clock.
 MT. McNiel was at his barn doing up his chores, when the storm came on and had finished milking a COW and stepped out of the door when a volt struck the barn and with ithe feel life- less corpse. There was one bruise found on his shoulder and the hair on one side of his head being slightly singed.
 George McNiel, father of Sterling, was at the barn at the same time and was only few feet away, but was not injured. It was apparent from the start that the stroke had been fatal though every effort was made to revive him.
 The unfortunate man was in his 38th year. He leaves a wife and five small children, one of whom-a little girl-is very low of pneumonia.
 The tragic circumstance cast deep sorrow over the community, and the neighbors and friends are doing all in their power to comfort and aid the widow and orphans.
 Interment was made in the Norris cemetery, out east of town, Thursday forenoon services being conducted by Eld. Rue Porter of the Church of Christ, MT. McNiel being consistent member of that church.
 The unusual death of Mir. McNiel has called wildly to the mind of the people of that neighborhood the death of Henry Kyle in 1901, who was killed by Tightening in a very similar manner. Sterling McNiel was one of the parties who dressed young Kyle's corpse and sit up with the body at night, the two having been boyhood companions.

School Contest Postponed Until
 the I9th

The North Arkansas School Contest at Harrison, billed for the 18th has been postponed until the 18th of this month. It is expected that an excur sion train will go down Saturday morn ing and return in the evening. How ever, there is yet no official informa- tion to that effect.
 The preliminary contest for the pur- pose of selecting the representatives of the Green Forest school at the Har rison meet will be held at the Fergu son Hall tomorrow (Friday) night, at 7:30 clock. At this contest there will be three contestants in Music, three in Declamatlon, four in Recitation, three in Essays, and two in Spelling.
 In addition to these numbers, there will be some most excellent selections of vocal and instrumental music. All in all, the program will be the best and most entertaining that Green Forest has had for long time, and those who fail to attend will miss the best show of the season. Admission 25 and 15 cents.
 The Harrison Basket Ball girls will play the Green Forest girls on the school ground here next Saturday at 9:30 a. m. It is probable that there will be game on the same ground in the afternoon between the Eureka and the Green Forest teams; also one be- tween the Eureka and the Harrison teams. Every lover of good sport should see these games.

exhibited here yesterday and Shippens- burg is loud in it's praises of the two high class performances rendered. The entertainment is clean, presenting some exceptionally clever work. Every feature drew rounds of applause from the large audiences. Probably 5000 people witnessed the evening perfor- nance, so many in fact that it became necessary to erect several extra tiers of seats.

New Council Organized.

The town council met Saturday night and organized under the regime. All members of the board, together with the mayor and recorder were on hand. A brief review of the affairs of our municipal government showed that things are in a prosperous and promis- ing condition.
 Notwithstanding the various and some costly improvements that have been made, there is still cash in the till and the progressive spirit among the "city dads" predominates with some emphasis.
 There is ever reason to expect during the coming summer there will be some improvements made that will shine up with any of those that protrude so prominently out of the accomplishments of the past year.
 For instance, we expect to see that missing link in the walk to the school building from the square put in.
 We expect to see the regulation width walk span the south side of the square.
 We know that those turnstyles to the openings of the town park are coming. That is already settled fact.
 We expect to see Phillips avenue graded up some so as to further pre- vent the damage that the rains are now doing to this popular thoroughfare.

LONDON, May with the am.

A dispatch from Cettinje that the
Russian minister had delivered to the
Montenegrin foreign office strong
note, curtly advising the little king
dom to give up Scutari and not defy
all Europe was regarded as especially
cheering.
In. certain quarters it was feared
that King Nicholas was banking on
secret assurances from Russia that
the powers would not be allowed to
coerce him and that a movement on
the part of Austria-Hungary, or any
individual nation would involve the
great bear, but the official action OF
the Russian foreign office dispelled
this apprehension.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Discour-
aged by the impregnable stand of the
house democrats against amendment
of the Wilson Underwood bill, repub-
lican assaults were more feeble to-
day when the consideration of the bill
was resumed.
When the lemon and lime para
graph was reached republicans con-
fessed they were wearied of attempts
to emasculate the bill. The leaders
served notice that broadside attacks
upon the administration measure
would be succeeded in the future by
guerilla tactics. Offering OF amend.
ments, they said would be continued,
but the discussion would be limited
through sheer WEAKNESS of sunees-
sive defeats of the past four days.
The preliminary skirmish today
opened with the citrus fruit clause OF
the agricultural products schedule.
California members led the attack
against the sweeping reductions pro-
posed, particularly as to lemons The
democrats declared that California
lemon growers were asking for unfair
privileges of taxing the whole coun-
try with the intent of monopolizing
the eastern as well as the western
markets.
s. Anot ther ism brush was sched-
uled on the wine and liquor schedule,
preceding consideration of the cotton
and flax rates. Tomorrow the second

house is on the program when the

ond "insurgent" movement for duty
on wool, following the democratic
split" yesterday over free sugar.

day that he hoped to pass the com
pleted bill next Tuesday or Wednes
day, devoting one entire day to con.
sideration of the income tax.
