rHr MANN INJECTION.

The result OF the election in the
Maine Third congregation district is
line with the results from Michi-
gan, et. Louis and other places
where elections have been held since
last November. II shows a tremen-
dous slump in the Progressive vote
and adds to the general impression
the country over that the Progress
siye party is doomed to an early Q
mise.
In this district all three parties
had made a bitter contest. The
leaders of the Democratic party, In
Guiding Mr.. Bryan, made addresses
all over the district. while the Pro-
gressiyes sent their biggest guns 10
encourage their followers. They
smoke in every hamlet and no cleo
ton in years has seen so thorough q
canvass in advance. II the Progress
siye party voters were sincere In
tba,r adherence to the alleged prin-
ciples put forth by Mr.. Rooseveit
thew certainly would have STOOD
fast in the ten months since the ma
~tlonal election, but the figures are
"a sore disappointment to the 0
lowers of the Colonel. Last NO
vember he received 1885 votes
now his party candidate receives
onIy 64S7 votes and is a poor tnlre
in the race. The Taft vote last NO
vember was 1859; the Republican
candidate won the election by a Vot'
LOT 15,1O6. Wilson received last NO
vember 1892 votes and his candi
date received practically the sam
vote, 1853.
The lesson to be drawn from Tn
election in this district is patent U
the most careless observer. Il goe
70 o what has been Manifesto
heretofore that the ProgresslV
vote last fall was a vote for Hoose
Welt and that with MS personail'
withdrawn the party cannot hold u
support. 1t has in the first plac

at any cost. The very fact that q
was perfectly willing to run to

form. and so expressed himself {

One Of the most important branches of

hundreds OF cars yearly. None OF the
foreign motor car manufacturers build
medium priced car which will compare
with American cars OF the Oakland type.
This IL explained by the fact that there

cars year. and the average cost OF these
cars is 600. American cars. manufactured

than this amount and American manu-
facturers are quick TO take advantage OF
this fact.
This year Oakland Australian dealers

GOVERNOR ORDERS
MILITIA INSPECTED
CAPT. SLOAN In CHARGE
WILL DETAIL RESULT OF IN
VESTIGATION TO WAR DE-
PARTMENT.

Little Rock, July 30.-Acting on
command of Acting Governor j. NJ.
Futrell, special inspection of the
Arkansas National Guard has been
ordered by Adjutant General B. w
Green, to begin August 4. Capt. A.
B. Sloan of the United States army
will make the federal inspection and
Major W. c. Bradford, assistant adj
iutant general, will make the inspec-
ton for the state Of Arkansas.
This inspection has been called in
an effort to account for the missing
property of the militia 1t was the
loss of this property that caused the
United States war department to
threaten to withhold federal aid from
the Arkansas militia. Much of the
missing property has now been ac-
counted for and it is believed the spe-
cial inspection will reveal the where
abouts of most of that which still is
missing
The order for the inspection issued
by General Green says the inspection
and unserviceable, issued to the Ma
tional Guard for its use, except such
will include all property, serviceable
articles as may have been condemned
and ordered dropped before the date
of inspection.
1t is stated explicitly that credit
will be given only for property which
actually is placed before the federal
inspector, and in determining the ac-
countabilty between the United
States and the state of Arkansas, the
report of the federal inspector will be
taken as the true account.
In order to hasten the inspection d.
rections have been issued that pre-
vious to August property be assert
ed and arranged neatly for the in
spector. Special attention is called
to the preparation and keeping of the
company records. These must be fur
nished the inspector in proper order.
Brigade, regimental, battalion and
non-commissioned officers will report
the property for which they are held
accountable, at the nearest armory of
the organization most convenient to
them, on the date scheduled for the in
spection of the company using the or
mory.
All the property will be inspected
during daylight and must be ready
for inspection upon the arrival of the
inspectors, who will be met by COM
missioned officer of the organization,
and ascertain what will be required in
the inspection.
The date set FOR the inspection of
the Conway company is August II.

IN MEMORIAM.

In memory of Sovereign Hettie NJ
Marble.
Whereas, it has pleased the Divine
Father, the Creator and Preserver of
the Universe, to call from our midst
our beloved sovereign, Hettie NJ Mar
BILE.
Be it resolved by Holly Grove No.
95, Woodmen Circle, that, while we
bow in humble submission to the Di-
vine Will we mourn the loss of our
dear sovereign as We would the loss
of mother.
She was recognized not only as a
Christian of sterling quality, and an
interchangeable worker in the fraternal
cause, but as a loving, patient, tender
hearted sovereign, friend and adviser;
mourning with us in our sorrows, re-
joicing in our joys and always ready
with kind and cheering word, she
was ready at all times for any SER
vice, and throughout her entire life
presented herself as living sacrifice
for God and the right.
Her death has cast over us indi-
vidually and collectively a shadow of
deep gloom. Sovereign Marble can
never be replaced. What she meant
to US as a member of our grove and
co-worker in. all our fraternal work,
we can find no words to properly de-
scribe.
We shall always cherish the men,
DRY of our departed sovereign and
render to her mourning loved ones the
true and faithful allegiance of our or
der.
Be it further resolved, That a copy
of these resolutions be sent to the be-
reaved family, copy to the Tidings
and a copy recorded on the minutes of
our grove.
