as are the members of the unions of

from The mayor of the city to make

“1 want to compare the splendid
con dir on. of the labor organizations
'n Pine Blu'f at present with the con
dition of the unions when the fi'i-s;
convention was held here a few years
ago. Then the Pine Bluff unions
w.ere represented at the convention
by two delegates. In this convent.on
j there are seventeen delegates from

i Bluff and the State Federation should
i indeed feel i'rend of the tank ..ml f’le

The local entertainment commit

GERMANY ISSUES
IflCITWARNING
Speaker in the Reichstag
Says Germany Will Stand ,
By Her Allies.
i
WAR SEEMS CERTAIN
Crocks Object to Armistice Between
tile Balkans anti Turkey—Total
Bulgarian Losses i (1,000.
London, Dec. 2.—Out of the dip-j
lomatic duelling over the Austro
i
Servian controversy today came the I
definite warning to all the powers;
involved that Germany, should the oc- j
casion arise, will draw her sword to
assist her allies.
Bethmann Holloweg discussing the j
Balkan situation in the Reichstag to
day, declared that Germany would
stand by her allies, Austria-Hungary
gnd Italy, in whatever trouble those
two countries might become involved.
The chancellor’s speech was re
garded as Germany’s warning to self
seeking powers to keep their hands
off and to England especially that a
formal protectorate over Egypt,
which is rumored to have received
consideration by the British minis
ters', would not be tolerated.
Neither will Germany tolerate any
interference by Russia, whose first
move to arms will be followed by the
German war cry.
The situation tonight cannot be re
garded as more hopeful than at any
time during the past week. Vienna
is optimistic in the extreme. By many
of the Vienna newspapers, war is re
garded as the only solution of the
entangled controversy.
New obstacles to the signing of the
'armistice between the allies and Tur
i key has appeared in the unqualified
organization of Greece, which coun
try first of all is in favor of fighting
the war out to a finish, is a settle
ment is to be arranged, insists that
Adrianople, Scutari, ;famina and the
other mbri important fortresses be
unconditionally surrendered. The
Greeks declared today that if the
provisioning of these fortresses is to
be permitted Turkey then would be
in a position to push the war vigor
ously in the event of the negotiations
for permanent peace failing.
Two estimates of the total Bulgar
ian losses in the war, which may be
considered as dependable, were re
ceived today. An official dispatch
from Vienna places the number of
! Bulgarian dead at 16,000 and the cor
respondent of the Berlin Tageblatt
puts the number of dead at 10,000 and
the wounded at 60,000.
A Triple Alliance.
Berlin. Dec. 2.—The triple alliance,
the collusion of Germany, Austr!a
and Daly, was renewed this afterneon
for a period of three years. The
statement wmcn was maae oruciauy
is 'regarded as spec ally significant in
the tight of the present d’sturbed
condition in Europe, glowing out of
the Balkan war.
The triple entente, .the alliance of
England, France and Russia is still
in effect.
Russia Is Ac-live
Vienna, Dec. 2.—Tide official
Reichs 'Post says that Russia hasi
concentrated 500.000 troops behind
t.b'e girdle of the Polish forces and all
the Polish regiments have been s'ent
either to Caucasius or to the interior.
Nearly 200 Russian spies have been
arrested in Galicia.
Armistice Assured.
London, Dec. 2.—'A definite con
clusion regard ng Eve, a'rmistfce was
assured for Wednesday a.t the latest
and possibly Tuesday when the
plenipotentiaries at Tchatalja ad
journed late this afternoon after a
long conference,.
Off'cial dispatches from Sofia to
night convey the foregonig informa
it'on. King Ferdinand accompanied
by his staff and the minister of fi
nance have left for Tchatalja to be
at the scene of tide negotitions when,
the armistice is signed.

Washnigton, Dec. 2.—Witli clieers :
for Cham;) Clark, William Sulzer and ,
I Joe Cannon in the House and with j
j expressions of regret for the death of!
I Vice President Sherman, Senator Ray- j
! ner and Senator Hayburn in the Sen- ;
; ate, the concluding session of the Six- j
ty second Congress began today,
i The Senate, after a session of j
j twenty-seven minutes, adjourned out j
| of respect to the memory of the '
1 vice president and the two senators.
I The House sat for an hour and fifteen
i minutes and then adjourned also as
| a mark of respect to the dead. This
| will be a short session, but not an
j unimportant one.
i Immediately after adjournment j
there were informal meetings of the-i
members of both houses and plans |
were made for the swift dispatch of j
la Dig grist, including me rosiomce
I appropriation bill, bills ordering in
i vestigations into the transportation
| monopoly of New England, the Money
! Trust prove and a political racket
; which will be engaged in by Mr. Taft
‘ on the one side and the Democratic
senators on the other,
j This row will involve Mr. Taft's
j intentions to make new appointments
I to the number of one thousand or
more and the Senators’ determination i
not to confirm any of them.
The Senate will spend most of its
time between now and the Christmas
holidays trying the impeachment
against Judge Archbold, of the Com
merce court. After that it will take
up the appropriation bills sent over
from the House. JjpfeL g vejrjr jyourn
i ful Senate just now for this is the
j final strut it will have upon the poli
j tical stage as a Republican body.
| All the galleries in both houses
j were crowded for the opening. Sixty
j six senators were in their seats and
i 275 answered roll call in the
I House.
j Champ Clark got a big hurrah
| when he came into the House a few
j mjnutes before noon to declare Con
gress officially in business at the old
stand. The enthusiasm was so great
that he broke two gavels trying to
restore order. As a result he did not
have a whole gavel left when William
Sulzer, governor-elect of New York,
came in a few minutes later and an
other yell went around the chamber.
The speaker, smiling good naturedly,
let the cheers for Sulzer run their
course.

happened in and the Republicans
started a cheer for him in which the
Democrats joined. About that time
“Uncle Joe’ Cannon, who will not
come back next year, and perhaps
never in this life as a representative,
came strolling in from the cloak
room.
“There’s ‘Uncle Joe,’ shouted a man
near the door and a shout for the ex
Speaker went to the roof and echoed
back again.
The first bill dropped into the
House hopper was one proposing a
i general reform of the currency sys
I tem, drawn by former Reresentative
j Fowler, of 'New Jersey.
It was followed by fourteen other
general bills and sixty-two private
measures.
Proceedings in the Senate today
were unusually brief owing to the
deaths during the recess of Vice
President Sherman and Senators Ray
ner, of Maryland, and Heyburn, of
Idaho.
Tomorrow morning, in order to ac
commodate itself to the previous or
der, requiring it to sit as an improve
ment court at 12:30, the Senate wili
meet at 11 o’clock. This will give
time to receive the president’s mes
sage and transact such routine busi
ness as may come up before proceed
ing with the trial of Judge Robert W.
Archbold.
THE RIGHT WAY
The man who picks his “SPEX” from off the counter or from
the hands of some peddler or traveling fakir, will some day find that
he has been groping in the dark.
The proper and only way to be safe is to have our optician give
you a thorough examination of your eyes aqd furnish you glasses ac
cording to this finding. \

At the outset of my brief and

Dre now so onee will each and all of I
us he, when we make that journey!

The dull cold ear of death can
not be soothed with flattery; were it

dead tutuum leaves crumble to ashes
in the hand, wt.iose love and affection
remained buried and hidden till death,
st ile the heart, closed the eyes and
sealed the lips of hint who was to be
remembered.
It is sweet to th irk of those that
are departed.
This day reminds us that the
virtues of ruv honored dead are in
scrio°d .upon the tablet of memory
and engiaved upon the hearts c{
those among the living. To be thus
affectionately remembered is not to
die, for he wlho lives in the hearts of
those he leaves does not die!
There is no death-the thing that we
call death.
Ts hut another, sadder name for life,
Which is itself an insufficient name,
Fain recognit'cn of that unknown

That Power whose shadow is the
Universe.
The faults of our departed brothers
are written open the sands of the
seashores of life, so that the mighty
waters of forgiveness may wash them
out on the bosom of the tempestuous
ocean, there to flutter a moment and
then-pass to darkness, silence and
forgetfulness; for the cloak 'ol char
ity covers one’s faults in death as
well as in ffe. 'It is supreme Justice
Shat It be so,, because that Justice
which is just is tempered with mercy.
Mtan is God’s masterpiece.* We are
told that wuen God conceived the
thougnt. of man’s creatoin, he called
to Him, three min'stering virtues,
who wa't constantly upon the throne,
Justice, Truth and Mercy, and thus
addressed them:
oii.in wtj matvt; man .
‘‘O, God, make him not” said jus
tice .:ternly, for lie surely will
trample upon thy laws.”
And Trutih what sayeth thou?
“0, God, make him not, for none
but God is perfect, and he. will sure
ly sin against three.”
And Mercy, what sayest thou?
Then Mercy dropp'ng upon her
knees and looking up through her
tears, exclaimed:
‘‘0, God, make man; I will watch
over him with my care through all
the dark paths he may have to
tread.” And thus, we are all cf.iild
ren of a merciful God dealing merci
fully with our brothers. In forget
ting the faults of our departed bro
thers our justice is Godl’ke because
merciful.

Kurt Worth, Texas, Dee. 2.—The
case of John 1!. Knead. chanced with
Mie murder of Captain A. (!. (toyre Sr.
was riven to the jury at .">:2h o'clock
this afternoon. Consideration of the
evidence by the jurors was postpon

night the jury retired without return
ing a verdict.
Senator Hanger, in closing for the
state severely denounced Snead. L«
nore Snead, the defendant's daughter,
was in court as was Mrs. A. U. Hoyce,
wife of the murdered man. I Toth wo
men were in tears the greater part of
the afternoon. Snead himself sat
with bowed head and aside from a
frequent twitching of the mouth, liis
face showed no emotion.
Judge Swayne's charge to the jury
was short and was against Snead. He
practically instructed the jury to
bring in a murder verdict, either in
the first or second degree. No sei,"
