Senator ToMliMHi Dead. Daniel Wol^y Voorhwe, ex-United States Senator from the state of Indiana, died at 5 o’clock last Saturday morning at his home in Washington, D. C., No. 105 Maryland avenue, northeast. The Senator has been in poor health for several years and for at least two years past had taken but little part in the proceedings of the Senate. He had been a constant sufferer from rheumatism of the heart, and hits friends therefore had come to expect that they might hear of his death suddenly. The last reports of him, however, were that he was showing some signs of improvement and his death, therefore, while not entirely unexpected, came with the suddenucss of a shock. At the time of his retirement from the Senate the “Tall Sycamore of the Wabash,” | as the Seuato^ was affectionately called by [ his devoted followers in the Hoosier state, j was the ranking democrat of the finance I committee, and by virtue of this position I the nominal leader at least of his party on ! the floor of the Senate on tariff and finau- ; cial questions. Mr. Voorhees was seventy-six years of I age last September, and priqr to his retirej inent from public life oil March 4 last, had ! been for many years one of the most picturesque figures in the Senate. lie was I born in Liberty - township, Butler county, | Ohio, and in his early infancy was carried | by his parents to their home in the Wabash , valley tn lndiana. In 1849 he graduated | from the Indiana Asbury (now DePauw) 1 university, and, studying law. -began its | practice in 1851. H is first public office was | entered upon in 1858. since which time he j had been almost constantly in offiee. Mr. | Voorhees* death was caused by an attack of ! agin a pectoris. The Senator’s health was so poor during the recent political campaign that lie could not [iarticipate in it, but after I his returii to Washington in November he | seemed to improve iu health. Two weeks ! ago the old rheumatic troubles returned i and four days ago they became even more [ alarming, but the Senator still did not con- * fine himself to his bed, and his family felt no immediate alarm. It was not, indeed, | until half an hour before the final summons ! cauie that any one realized death was near.

Bryan was injured here Thursday afternoon by the caving in of the piazza from which he was speaking. Nearly four hun-! dred men and woraeu were precipitated, about twenty feet to the ground and many I of them injured, but none fatally. Mr. Bryan was picked up unconscious and re- j moved to a physician's office, wlietv an examination revealed that he had received no injuries of a serious character. It was deemed best, however, to abandon the reception which was to be given him this evening. Mr. Bryau arrived here at 4:50 p. ro. and was greeted at the station by a large crowd of |«eople. At 8:30 he addressed fully three thousand people from the piazza of the San Marco hotel At the j close of his speech hundreds of people ! flocked about him and so great was the * strain that oue section of the jHazia, forty feet square, fell through.

Front Arkansas. . Prescott, March 29, 1897. Editor Democrat: . Thinking you and ' the home people might value a stray shot . from a Pike county boy who is way down I in Arkansas, I submit some rambling thought which if not worth your valuable space can find room in the waste basket. We are now having balmy spring weather now and the farmers are happy and the : plow-boy’s song alternates with the whip- | poor-will. The creeks are alive with fish j and it is real sport to “drop a line” to them I and receive an immediate reply. Gardens , grow without hothouses are now supplied i with fine radishes, lettuce and onions, with J englL-h peas in full bloom and a free-for-all | race with beets, cabbage, tomatoes and other products known to the gardener. Corn is about all planted here and many fields already show a fair stand. Now and , then we find a progressive farmer who has his corn plowed the first or secoud time. We have had no snow here during the past | winter and very little ice. It seems that the | people are just beginning to realise what | kind of a country this is. The iinmigratiofi ; to this part of Arkausas has more than doubled in the last three years. We have | a good state government, good towns, ; good eourt houses, bridges, public roads, i sehod and church houses already built. It | is a wonder to me that these attractions do I not overcome the prairies of the far west, j Prescott is situated in a beautiful little ! prairie and is known as the “Gem of Prairie ; DeAnue.” It is a new town but is quite an | historic place. During the civil war a | battle was fought right where the towu now stands. It was here that Gen. Steel's advance on Red river was checked by Gen. Price. Prescott is also the home of one of the champions of free silver, Hon. Thomas C. McRae who is and has for many years been a member of congress and an eloquent speaker and earnest worker in the cause of bimetalism. The home of Hon. James K. Jones is only twenty miles away and of his fame you alreadyIritow. I need not state how we stand for democracy and bimetalism for everyone knows what Arkansas did last i fall. Hoping that wheu the next election rolls around that glorious old Indiana will be as solid for free silver as Arkansas now j is*. : P. F. Chappell.

The mbment he liits the earth he starts for the/grave and the longer he travels the faster he goes. | His visible re wan! for long days of labor and nights of walking the floor with a teething baby, is an epitaph he can't read and a tombstone he don’t want. In the first seven ages of man he's licked, in the last he is neglected, and in all others he's a target for a meddlesome, mischief making woman, who won’t tend to her own business. If he does not marry his first love, he will always wish he had, and if he does he'll always wish he hadn’t. Yet no man ! ever follows freedom’s flag for patriotism. \ with half the.enthusiasm that he. will trail the red. white and.blue that constitutes the banner of female beauty. He will brave the lion in his den, face the booming cannon, j tread the ocean foam beneath his feet and | yet will tremble like a half-frozen, egg1 sucking dog when called to account by his wile for some of his cussedness. He goes forth m the morning to plow corn with a crus-eyed mule and a roan steer, works hard all day anti comes home at night to find his seven half-clothed children hungry as bears and no bread iu the house and his j wife gone over Ur one of the neighbors to j borrow a hat to wear at a church social. 1
