This is Meant for You.

It has truly been said that half the world does not know how the other half lives. Comparatively few of us have perfect health, owing to the impure condition of our blood.
 Butwe rub along from day to day, with scarcely thought. unless fore ed to our attention, of the thous- ands all about us who are suffering from scrofula, salt rheum and other serious blood disorders, and whose agonies can only be imagined. The marked success of Hoods Sarsapar- fila for these troubles, as shown in our advertising columns frequently, certainly seems to justify urging the use of this excellent medicine by all who know that their blood is dis ordered. Every claim in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla is fully backed up by what the medicine has done and is still doing, and when its pro prietors urge it's merits and its use upon all who suffer from impure blood, in greater or small degrees
 they certainly mean to include you

THE bill before the legislature ask ing for an appropriation for the pur- pose of properly representing Ark ansas at the Worlds Fair does not propose to take one dollar from the treasury that will have to be replac- ed by taxation. The amount is to be taken from the direct tax fund which remains undivided and unclaimed in the State treasury. In Missouri this fund was appropriated for the use of their State University, here 1t is pro posed to expend it in exhibiting our resources at Chicago. The money could not be more advantageously applied, and wherever the people un- derstand the matter large majori- ty approve and commend it. We appeal to our Representatives in the Lower House and also our State Sen ator to give this bill their cordial support.

A DOCTORS EVIDENCE.
The Rationale of the Cure of Chronic
 Catarrh.

HOW PERMANENT CURES ARE MADE
 The order in which the symptoms of chronic catarrh occur are nearly always as follows: A cold. which hangs on longer than usuals sen sitiveness of the air passages by which one catches cold easily; a continual settled cold in head, throat or chest; discharges growing thick CT and more offensive; loss of flesh despondency, loss of appetite, head ache or cough, and general lassitude Now this is about the order in which symptoms of chronic catarrh make their appearance, and if the sufferer is fortunate enough to find cure the symptoms will begin to disap- pear in exactly the reverse order There may be at first no perceptlble improvement in the earliest symp- toms while the latter symptoms show prompt improvement.
 This is exactly what Pe-runa will do in the cure of chronic catarrh
 It first invigorates the system, in creases the appetite, then the patient begins to gain flesh, hope takes the !
 place of despondencv, and all the mischievous symptoms which the chronic catarrh has produced vii disappear one by one in the reverse order of their appearance. The last symptoms to yield are often the onei which the patients expect to disap pear first, but all should remember that the first symptoms to appear are usually the first ones to disap
 pear. Cures made in this way ar' permanent cures. A patient euret by Pe-ru-na is no more liable to ca tarrh than as if he had never had it l A complete treatise on chronic ca tarrh in all it's stages and compllca tions will be sent free on application by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufactnr ing Company of Columbus, Ohio.

WE quite agree with the Little Rock Democrat that tho bill before the legislature to legalize primary elections is a move in the right di- rection, and deserves the careful consideration of the general assem- bly,. There is no more reason why men should be permitted to act dis honestly, to falsify returns or sup
 press votes at a primary than at a regular state or congressional elee- tion. But so long as the restraints of law are not placed upon them there is nothing to prevent them from doing so. Let the primary be invested with the sanctions and re straints of law and there will be more satisfactory results, not only in the matter of the primary, but in the election which is to follow it.

IN the lower house of the legisla- ture last week MT. Lawrence Rus sell of this county presented reso- lution requiring all appropriation bills to be reported within twenty days, the object of which being tc enable the body to consider and pass these necessary measures and bt ready to adjourn by the close of the regular session, thus obyiating ar extention. Mir. Russell made 8 strong speech in behalf of the res olution and worked assiduously tC secure it's passage, ably assisted by Mir. Buchanan, but without success. The defeat of the resolution is taken as an indication that majority of the members oppose an early ad- journment and favor taking adyant- age of any sort of dilitory tactics to prolong the session. If further evi- dence confrmatory of this suspicion be given, the State would be benefit ed by the retention of. these mem bers at home in the future MT. Russell's speech in favor of the res olution is given in another column.

A sensation in financial circles was created last Thursday by the failure of the First National Bank of Little Rock o.open it's doors for business. The bank has been known to be shaky for some time and run was made on January l6 but the other banks came to it's rescue. Col Lo- gan H. Roots was prevailed upon to accept the presidency and it was thought that the bank would come out all right. The failure is due to the management of the bank while H. G. Allis was president. Large amounts were loaned the Electric Street Railway Company, Mccarthy & Joyce and the Press Printing Company, all of which have passed into the hands of assignees. In ad- dition to this the bank held $450, 900 worth of Allis paper and it was recently discovered that about $250,- 900 more was out that was not on the books. The funds of the bank in the hands of their New York cor respondents had been tied up by at tachments and the banks paper went to protest. This, and the un- certainty of the liabilities of the bank, caused the directors to close the doors.
