KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, yon will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Texarkana to Fort Smith.

Day by day the news Of progress
along the route of the Texarkana and
Fort Smith railway and rapid advan-
cement all along the line of construc-
ton becomes more and more definite
and certain. On the several divisions
of the road between Texarkana and
Kansas City, Mo-, where contracts for
construction have been let, and the
work of converting preliminary lines
into permanent survey are being
pushed, the reports are more than
favorable, and labor in these several
departments is progressing as rapidly
as time and conditions of weather,
etc, will permit. The road, which
will, when completed, be one Of the
most important trunk lines in the
South, is fixture and its ultimate
completion mere question of time.
The amount of interest already mani
fest in the cities, towns and farming
settlements, along the proposed route,
is Of itself sufficient evidence Of the
importance attached TO the building
of the road, not to one section alone,
but to every acre of land over which
Its vast expanse of steel will be laid.
The latest news from the engineering
corps, upon the progress of which the
rapid work of construction so largely
depends, indicates favorable advance.
ment in that quarter. Concerning
their movements and present where

The last sad rites, the performance
of which testify the love and honor of
the living for their dead, have been
performed over the remains of Arkan-
sas' great flnancier, Col Logan II.
Roots, at his late home in Little Rock.
The funesal services were both i'm
presslve and beautiful and were par

ooncourses of people ever assembled
In that city on q similar mission.
The remains were escorted from
his late residence, to Trinity Episcopal
cathedral by Hugh DePayen com
mandery Knights Templar and the

sas, and 400 prominent bankers and

ment was led by q brass band.
The services at the church were
conducted by Bishop Pierce, assisted
by Rev. John Davis, those at the GEM
etery by the Knights Templar. All tho
banks and leading business houses in
the city were closed during the hours
Of the funeral. The procession was
the largest ever witnessed in Arkan-
sas, every vehicle in the city was in
the line, and the streets through which
the cortege passed were literally lined
With people
1t required two large express wag-
ons to carry the floral offerings, which
were magnificent indeed, Tho active
pall-bearers were all the past grand
commanders Of the Grand Command
cry Knights Templar of Arkansas.
The honorary pall-bearers consisted
Of twenty prominent business men
and attorneys and United States
Circuit and District Judges Caldwell

FLOODS IN ARKANSAS.

The news which is just now being
received shows that a great portion
of the state has been swept by devas-
tating storms followed by angry
floods, sweeping death and destruc-
ton before them in their path. Some
adequate idea of the ruin wrought by
the wild fury Of the wind and waves
combined may be gathered from the
reports which have been sent out
from several cities in the midst of the
storm-swept and flood-ridden com-
try, which read as follows:
FORREST CRY, June News came
in last night that cyclone had passed
four miles west of this place and had
done much damage, but as that part
of the country was completely isolat-
ed from here by the hurricane, no
particulars could be gained until this
morning. 1t proved far more disas-
trous than was imagined. A two
story frame house occupied by Mrs.
Thomas, widow with a large fami-
ly, was completely demolished, and
Mrs. Thomas and her 13-year-old
daughter were instantly killed, while
other members of the family were
badly bruised. Many other houses
in the track OF the cyclone were de-
molished or unroofed. Not tree or
fence was left standing in its track.

tails from points in Columbia county
are to the effect that disastrous cy-
clone passsd over there yesterday eve

big trees were blown across the Cot
ton Belt railroad track near Waldo
station. Damage was done to all
property in the track Of the whirl-
wind. 1t is a great yellow pine re-
gion and saw mills and stacks were
injured. No loss Of life is reported,
the people fleeing to excavations and
ravines, and one man jumped into a
well to save himself,
ARKANSAS CRY, Ark, June O.
The river Is still falling here, the
guage tonight registering 1915 feet, a
fall of one and one-half tenths during
the past twenty-four hours, and to-
tai fall of six tenths. The back water
is rising at the rate of two-tenths in
twenty-four hours. II is about 1.8
feet below the highest point reached
by the high water of 1890. The wa
ter is running over the Missouri Pa
cific tracks at several points between
here and McGehee and all trains south
of there have been abandoned. The
mail is carried from here to McGebee
in a skin. The back water is running
into Crooked Bayou at several points,
but as yet it has done but little dam
age on the west bank of that stream.
There are yet other points be heard
from and it is greatly feared that much
of the bad news is yet to come.

BLOOD MAY FLOW.
Latest News From Hawaii Forebodes
Trouble and Possible Bloodshed.

Trouble and Possible Bloodshed.
If succeeding reports are to be re-
lied upon, the situation at Hawaii
grows more interesting and decidedly
more complicated each day, and the
inhabitants of the Islands are greatly
wrought up over the latest develop
ments.
First came the arrest of Bush and
Kenyon, editors of native papers, on
charges of libeling the provisional
government and Minister Stevens;
then the publication of Secretary
Gresham's instructions TO Commits
sioner Blount, and the warning by
the latter to the annexationists that
they could not depend upon help
from the United States in case the
royalists attempted to reinstate the
queen; then the news of Blount's ap-
pointment as United States minister
to Hawaii, and finally the attempt of
the provisional government to silence
Charles Nordhoff, correspondent of
the New York Herald, and Minister
Blount's interference in his behalf.
All sorts of alarming rumors are
afoat, and even Mr., Blount, who all
along predicted that there would be
no trouble, is now not SO confident.
On May 10 Commissioner Blount
gave out for publication his letter of
instructions from Secretary Gresham.
The instructions are quite voluminous.
They request Mr.. Blount to investi-
gate thoroughly the condition of
affairs on the Hawaiian island, and
say: "Your authority in all matters
touching the relations of this govern
ment to the existing or other govern
ments of the islands, and the protec-
tion of our citizens is paramount, and
in you alone, acting in cooperation
with the commander of the naval
forces is vested full discretion and
power to determine when such forces
shall be landed or withdrawn"
Among other things it was stated
by Secretary Gresham that Minister
Stevens would be instructed to fur
nish Blount needed assistance and
would perform the usual functions of
minister and that while the United
States claimed no right TO interfere in
the internal conflicts of this govern
ment, it wonld adhere to its consis-
tent and established policy and not
acquiesce in domestic interference by
other powers.
At the end of his instructions Mr..
Blount added the following postscript:
"While | shall refrain from interfer-
ence between conflicting forces of
whatever nationality for supremacy |
will protect American citizens not
participating in such conflict"
