Mr. Bartley's literary tastes were
Of high order. Gray's Elegy and
Thanatopsis were his favorite poems.
He wrote many obituaries and the
lines:

priately.
the boast of heraldry. the mp of power.
Aud all that beauty, all that wealth e'er
Await alike the inevitable hour
The path OF glory lead but to the grave"
was another favorite quotation.
It seems unbelievable that he who
has so frequently penned these lines
in loving remembrance of some old
neIghbor, should now be their silent
subject.
In his political affiliations Mr..
BARLEY was a Democrat all the time.
His loyalty to his party has never
been ques Toned, as he has been for
many years high in its councils. His
acquaintance, politically, was state
wide, His answering devotion must
have been from principle, for he new
Sr asked nor received any of the re-
wards of the politician.
In his religious views he was liber-
al, believeing with Thomas jefferson
that every man should worship God
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. He often said: "When
YOU are dead you will be long time
dead and again he would quote
with approval the following lines of
Robert Ingersoll:
Life is narrow vale between the cold
aud barren peaks of two eternities. We cry
aloud. and the only answer is the echo OF
our waihng cry. From the voiceleSs lips of

In our local political arena and took
their results with equanimity and in
good temper. If he won, he took the
results of victory as his right of con-

himself, Jacksonian Democrat, he

SSTO the victors belong the spoils;"
and if he lost he took his defeat phil

to wear the toga of victory without
i'll will.
When a man has passed out of this
world it is we'll to pause and take
stock of his life, to the end that we
may emulate his virtues and cast the
mantle of charity over his faiIngs,
which, being human. he must have
had. Among Mr.. Bartley's virtues
may be named steadfast honesty,
absolute integrity, pure character,
a tender heart He was a man of
strong likes and dislikes. If you
were his friend, he would not permit
anything derogatory of you said in
his presence, and would go out of his
way to defend you. When he had
tried man out and determined for
himself that he was worthy of con-
| fidence, he thereafter placed ulimite d
trust in him, and it would take over
whelming evidence to cause him to
change his opinion. When you made
him your friend, you made real
friend, one whose loyalty you could
depend upon under all circumstances.
1t took something more than idle Cos
sip and rumor to form his judgments.
On the other hand, if you wilfully
wronged him he never forgot it and
he lost no opportunity, in season or
out of season, to voice his injury.
You knew it straight from him when
he declared hostilities. He accepted
Polonius' advice: Beware of en-
trance to a quarrel; but, being in,
bear't that the opposed may beware
of thee" and made it good. He did
not consider religious or political diff
erences sufficiently important to
found friendships or enmities upon
it was only stain upon character
or criminal act that he resented.
Another characteristic was his strong
love of country. He religiously be-
lieved in the Republican form of gov
eminent, the Democracy. While
teaching school in Bloomington he al
so studied law, and was admitted to
the bar, and at his death was men,
Der of the Grant county bar. His
law studies, of course, included the
Constitution of the United States,
and his teaching of the Constitution
of the United States was illuminat-
ed by a profound knowledge of the
former and a patriotic admiration of
the sacrifice and struggles of the
revolutionary fathers. He was proud
OF his service in the civil war and
glad that he had helped preserve the
Union. Any veteran of the war met
warm welcome from him, and many

DRESDEN is STRANDED
BRITISH FLEET DRIVES GERMAN
CRUISER ASHORE.
Last Unit of Won Specs Squadron
Wrecked Off Argentine-Turks
Kill 100 in Russ Town.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 14.-The German
engaged by the British warships off
Falkland islands, and which took to
fight, has stranded on the Argentine
coast near the port of Ballegos.
1t is believed here that the British
fleet under Vice-Admiral Sturdee
forced the Dresden into a corner, and
rather than fight against overwhelm-
ing odds the German commander ran
the cruiser ashore.
London, Dec. IA dispatch re-
ceived here from Constantinople by
way of Berlin says a Turkish fleet
bombarded the environs of Batum, the
Russian seaport on the eastern coast
of the Black sea.
One hundred Russians were killed
and number were wounded by the
fire.
Buenos Aires, Dec. 14.-Three hun
dred beds for the wounded in the
Falkland naval engagement have been
requested by wireless messages re
ceived at Montevideo from the British
fleet
According to wireless, the wounded
will reach Montevideo today. 1t Is
supposed that practically all of them
are, Germans, rescued by the British
warships from the Scharnhorst, Gneis-
enau, Leipzig and Nuremberg.
Only those vessels under Sir Fred
erick Sturdee's command having
wounded aboard are expected at Mon
tevfdeo:1*
The ships bearing the wounded will
then detach from the squadron and
put into the Uruguayan port. .''
It is believed that the desire of the
British to have German sympathizers
10 take care of the German wounded
is responsible for the landing at Mon
tevideo instead of at 4 port in the
Falkland islands, which are British
colony.

his death he was seized with an un-

MUNN'S CLOTHING WAS
 BURNED BEFORE TRIAL

On last Saturday the clothing worn by Wesley Mum at the time he was said to have been shot to death by J. C. Whitley, on the morning of Jan uary 2, last, and which should have been taken care of by the sheriff, was burned by H. R. Whyte.
 Mir. Whyte, in his statement to a reporter of the Advocate, claims he did not know the contents of the bun dle he destroyed, believing he was de- stroying a bundle of clothing that had belonged to Belle Delaney, a woman that was discharged by the grand jury at the March term of cir cult court and who had been confined in the county jail on a murder charge.
 The bundle had been left in the building formerly used as court room by the county and which is now occupied by MT. Whyte as law of flee. MT. Whyte says he notified the sheriff of the bundle that had been left behind, and after giving him am- pie time to remove it, which he failed to do, he (Whyte) burned it up.

ITS A MISTAKE
MADE BY MANY CONWAY RESJ.
 DENTS.

Many people in a misguided effort to get rid of kidney backache, rely on plasters, liniments and other make shifts. The right treatment is kid. ney treatment and remarkably rec. Commended kidney medicine is Doan's Kidney Pills. Conway is no exception.
 The proof is at your very door, The following is an experience typical of the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Conway:
 Mrs. W. o. Durham, S. Locust St., Conway, Ark, says: "One of the fam. fly was troubled by weak kidneys nearly all of her life. Her kidneys acted too freely day and night and she was weak and nervous and didn't have any energy. She also complain. ed of tired, wornout feeling. We became anxious about her condition. We heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and decided to give them trial. They helped her right away, an dafter she had taken two boxes, her kidneys were normal. Doan's Kidney Pills certain ly did her a lot of good"

EDUCATIONAL BODIES
 MAY BE CONSOLIDATED
PRESIDENT DOYNE SAYS TWO ORGANIZATIONS MAY UNITE
 AT LOUISVILLE.

The Conference for Education in the South and the Southern Educa- tional Association, both of which will be in session at Louisville this week, will probably be consolidated to form one strong southern educational or ganization, according to President J. J Doyne of the State Normal School. President Doyne is a member of the board of directors of the Southern Educational Association and is secre- tary of Conference for Teacher Train ing, the most important department of the Conference for Education in the South. He left today to attend the sessions of the organizations and will be away the greater part of the week.
 In an editorial in the current num- Der of the Arkansas Teacher Presi- dent Doyne discusses the Louisville meeting as follows:
 "Teachers and other friends of edu- cation should be much interested in the coming Louisville meeting, April 7-1O, of the Southern Educational As sociation and the Conference for Ed ucation in the South. For many years these two organizations have main- tained separate existence, but 1t IS the expectation of those who have the interests of both at heart to see them merge into one.
 "It seems expedient that this should be done. Those who attend the form CT are usually to be found at the meetings of the latter. The questions to be discussed and the interests in- volved as indicated by the programs of these organizations are, for the most part, similar in character.
 "The great work done by the South ern Conference deserves the highest commendation. The memory of MT. Robert c. Ogden will long be cherish ed by those who knew him for years as it's honored president. It is true that there were those who were suspi- cious of the purpose of the confer ence and they were not slow to pass adverse criticism on those who stood as leaders in it's councils. The sober judgment of others, who are as loyal to the south and her interests as the most sacred ties and associations can make them, has decided that the mo- tives leading to the establishing of this conference and the results that have followed from it's working de- serve the highest commendation.
 "The Southern Educational Asso- citation has from the first been recog- nized as one of the most potent int1u- ences in bringing about educational reforms, encouraging higher intellect ual standards and placing a correct evaluation on all movements looking to the upbuilding of the South and se- curing for it that recognition to which it's native wealth and acknowledged talent justly entities it.
 "The coming meeting will be of much value to all who attend and participate in it's deliberations. Ar kansas has had a fair representation at the meetings of each of these or ganizations in other years, and this year should prove no exception. The program will be varied and interest ing; entertainments of various kinds will be provided and pleasant and profitable time is assured
