CAPTAIN G. W. HURLEY.
Old Citizen of Jackson County
and Prominent Odd Fellow
Died Sunday Night.
In the ripening of old age,
when youth and middle life’s
ambitions have either been
achieved or found unworthy of
the struggle and the veteran of
busy life is left to contemplate j
and act upen the true purposes
of living, another Jackson county i
pioneer has been called home to j
rest from the afflictions and trials |
of human existence.
The solace of the companion- ;
ship of a lovely helpmeet had
been denied him in his last few
months, but the loss of this be
loved one had in a large measure
resigned him to the call that
would reclaim to him in immor
tal ties the soul of this preceding
pilgrim. Through the suffering
of these last months, caused from
a cancer of the face, whose con
quest was inevitable, the happy
memory of this sweet compan
ionship. was ever present in the
.reunion promised by their com
mon faith.
The end came at 9:10 o’clock
Sunday night, the family circle
•of the departing soul gathered
about, ministering with tender
ed devotion. Death had not
come unexpected, for it had been
realized for several months that
he was gradually sinking.
Funeral Tuesday afternoon at
2 o’clock from St. Paul’s Episco
pal church, conducted by Rev.
George Norton. Burial at Wal
nut Grove cemetery in the family
vault.
. . LIFE OF DECEASED.
George Washington Hurley was
born in Baltimore, Mainland,,
1829. The death of his parents:
early in life, threw him upon his
own resources. His first employ- j
ment was as an apprentice to a !
tailor, and from that he continued;
to climb in business pursuits. At!
the time of his death he was vice- J
^resident of the First National
Bank and one of the city’s largest j
property owners.
In war, he served with distinc-j
tion, responding to the call of the |
national government in the dis-1
pute with Mexico over Texas.
When the struggle between the
North and South rent the country :
in twain, he cast his fortunes |
with Dixie land and participated
in a number of the battles of the
Western army, winning a cap
i • 1_1. • _1_
tcUU^y vy UiO vaiui.
In coming West he first located
at Augusta, then at Newport in
1872, being one of the pioneer
settlers.
He has been prominent in the
circles of Odd Fellowship for
many years, and in recognition
of his work and devotion to the
order, had been honored with
the highest office in the gift of
the Odd Fellows of Arkansas. To
him may properly be ascribed
much of the credit lor the estab
lishment of that beneficent insti
tution, the orphans’ home at
Batesville.
His heart was in the great
work. He loved it better than
his church, though he had been
• confirmed in the Episcopal de
nomination. The bx*otherh *<>d ol
man was as much his religion as
the fatherhood of God. ^ And in
the floral tribute that rill bedeck
his grave will be offered a testi
monial of the esteem of his fol
io wmen.
To those who are bowed in the
sorrow of his demise is extended
the sympathy of a tender-hearted
community and people.

FORTY DAMAGE SUITS.
Hot Springs, April 23.-Circuit
court will take up the celebrated
exptesion cases upon convening
here Monday. There are forty
of these damage suits, which
grew out of the Turf Exchange
explosion a little more than a
year ago. The explosion is al
leged to have been caused by the
man delivering the gasoline per
mitting it to run over the tank,
charging the floor beneath the
Turf Exchange and causing an
explosion from lighted cigars in
the pool room. There were
about fifty persons injured, three
deaths and a number crippled
for life.
All the injured brought suit for
damages against the Waters
Pierce Oil Company, Chambers
& Walker and the lighting plant.
Only one ease has been tried,
and that was decided against the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company, the
court holding that company’s
agent solely responsible for the
catastrophe.
TWO MAIDENS
KILL PANTHER.
Van Buren, April 23.-This
morning Misses Ella Dyer and
Kate Strong, aged 15 and 18 re
spectively, discovered a large
female panther in Mr. JDyer’s
barnyard "and decided to capture
it. They followed it to its lair
in a rocky ledge in a canyon and
could see the animal plainly, and
tried to dislodge it with poles but
failed. Miss Strong remained on
guard while Miss Dyer returned
home, secured some rags, satur
ated them with oil and returned
to her companion. Tying the
rags to a pole they ignited it,
thursting the burning mass
through the opening through
which the panther had crawled.
Blinded by smoke and dames the
infuriated beast finally crawled
out into the open air and as it
writhed in agony on the ground
was beaten to death by the young
ladies with clubs.
GETTING TOGETHER.
Little Rock, April 24.—It is
now practically settled that the
two factions of Arkansas Repub
licans will get together when the
two conventions meet in Little
Rock on May 17 and drop all past
differences. Chairman H. L.
Remmel of the regular Republi
can state central committee and
B. ivl. f oreman oi rexarKaim,
the leader of the insurgent wing
of the party, met. at the bankers’
banquet in this city the oth.r
night and shook hands for the
first time in four years. The two
leaders had a brief conference
and parted good friends. Am
bassador Powell Clayton will
reach Little Rock from the City
of Mexico the latter part of next
week, when the matter will be
finally disposed of. It is well
known that Gen. Clayton is very
anxious to see his party again

COIN HARVEY
HAS A TALK.
Don’t Approve of Candidacy of
Either Parker or Hearst.
Says People Dis
trust Former.
Fort Smith, Ark., April 24.— I
YV. H. (Coin) Harvey was in the
city yesterday morning for a
little while, and in talking of the
possibilities of Judge Parker,
i said: “To me Parker lacks so
i much of being the right man
! that I do not feel competent to
forecast his chances for the Dem
ocratic nomination. T do not
think Parker is the man to poll
the large vote of the West and
South. He will not poll the full
1 Democratic vote of those sec
tions, and this lack of strength
! will be found among the plain
people. There is a growing dis
trust among the plain people of
men whose environments are
those of the money magnets and
trust makers of the East, and if
Parker is nominated a large nura
ber of them will stay at home
i and not go to the polls.
‘ ‘There is a growing opinion that
| a power is using the government
for the benefit of the special
nsincr one nolitical nartv
and then the other to effect their
purposes, not caring which party
is in power, and using either to
stack the cards on the people,
j This sentiment is so widespread
that it will not be an easy matter
| to fool the people this time. The
Parker movement looks to me to
be one of this kind. We want a
statesman, broad of views and
i in no way narrow of mind, who.
will deal justly with the condi
tions as they exist, but always
looking forward as circumstances
will permit to a more just condi
tion of government and a bright
er civilization. There are men
of this class who might be se
; lected, but their names have not
yet been mentioned.
“As to Hearst, he is yet an
unknown quantity. He has not
as yet developed any statesman
like qualities. He is unknown
and untried. If I were to make
i a guess as to the result of the
| national Democratic convention
11 would say that if wisdom pre
vails, there will be a man se
lected whose name has not yet
been mentioned, but it is possi-,
ble that he is being thought of.’’
