WATER RECEDING. The Riser Falling Rapidly at Ft. Smith and Dar-
 ddneHe.
Crops Damaged Throughout the Ark ansas River Yalley-The Chism, Ward and Field Places
 Inundated.

Arkansas Democrat, 2d'l
 Reports from points up the river this morning are that the river is falling rapidly and no further dam age will occur. A fall of 1.3 feet oc- cured at Fort Smith within twen- ty-four hours ending at ' o'clock this morning and the water is reced- ing at Dardanelle. It is expected the river will come to stand at Little Rock tonight with a stage not exceeding 25.6 feet The rise at this point from.6 o'clock last night to ' o'clock this morning was 6 feet At o'clock the government guage read 24.5 feet. The water had reached the twenty five foot mark at II o'clock, but from that hour to ' o'clock this morning it had only climbed I feet higher. Since ' O. clock this morning the water has come mp very slowly, and this after noon it is nearly at a stand
 As it is considerable damage has been done to the crops above and below Little Rock.
 The strawberry crop in Crawford and other counties through which the river runs, has been damaged to the amount of several thousand dol lars.
 Large portions of the crops in Jefferson county are inundated, and when the water recedes replanting will be necessary.
 The pontoon bridge at Pine Bluff was swept away yesterday afternoon but was caught some distance down the river
 Grave fears are entertained for the safety of Arkansas City. The river continues to rise rapidly at that point, and it is expected that the city will be overfiowed,
 Reports from Southeastern Mis- souri and Northeastern Arkansas are to the effect that that the water is receding.

SPRING TIME
The Best Season of the Year to Treat
 Chronic Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that q great number of people have been cured of chronic catarrh by taking Peru na during the past cold season, yet it cannot be denied that the cold, wet, stormy winter has retarded many cures, and in some cases actually prevented a cure. But, after un usual delay, spring time has come at last and now is the time for all catarrh sufferers to begin system atic course of treatment for this disease. The greatest difficulty in the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch cold during the treatment, and thus delay cure. This liabil- ity at this season of the year is, VI a great measure, removed, and no one should neglect an opportunity to begin treatment. Send for free eatarrh book.
 As a spring medicine Peru na is never-failing remedy. It cleanses the blood through digestion, and gives tone to the whole system by increasing the nutritive value of the food Spring fever" as it is some times called, which produces tired out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do much mental or physical work, is the result of a sluggish digestion, and no blood medicine will be of any use whatever unless it is able to rec tify the impaired digestion. The great popularity that Peru ma has is due to the fact that in all such case it at once eorrects digestive de engagements and enriches the blood by purifying this very important source of that vital fluid. Send for free book on spring medicines and spring diseases. Address, The Pe- ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com pany, Columbus, Ohio.

A chiId's Great Suffering
Physicians Failed But Hoods
 sarsapariIla CURED.

However poison may get into the blood, Hoods Sarsaparilla is the sovereign rem edy for it's removal. Read this:
 We have used Hoods Sarsaparlla with the best of satisfaction. When our oldest boy was about year old he was afflicted with skin disease caused by poison oak. His feet, legs. hands and face were literally
 Covered With Bisters, which also extended over his whole body. The blIsters were at first white, but when matured they would discharge a ycllowlsh watery sub stance. Sometimes a number of blisters would run together forming wGtery looking sore. Sometimes tespecially if the night was warm) we could get no rest, for the child would cry and fret all aight. Finally, after being almost completely worn out by work through the day and the want of rest at night physi- clans failing to do him any good was induced to try bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla. I am able to say the result was
 Simply Astonishing.
 Almost from the start our boy slept well and we were able to enjoy whole nights rest, and before the bottle of medicine was all gone the

THEY'RE NOT ALL ALIKE blood medicines There's only one that is so far-reaching and so unfailing in its ef fects that it can be guaranteed to do all that's promised for 1t. That Is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If that doesn't benefit or cure, you have your money back. It's not like the sarsaparillas or ordinary Spring medicines. They claim to do good in March, April, and May. All the year round, and in all cases, the Discovery purifies the blood as nothing else can. Every blood -taint and disorder, Eczema, Tetter, Salt-rheum, Erysipelas, Boils Carbuncles, Enlarged Glands, Tumors and SweIlings - the most stubborn Skin and Scalp Diseases, and the worst forms of Scrofula, are completely and permanently cured by it.
 Buy of reliable dealers. With any others, something else that pays them better will probably be urged as q just as good It may be, for them; but it can't be, for volt.

If person could believe the marvel

tertainment, how princes and princesses
were by some magical enchantment
turned into horses and other animals,
it would be easy to understand the intel
ligence with which the educated horses
are gifted. A believer in these remark
able tales, could readily comprehend
how Nellie had once been a princess of
noble blood, and transformed bv some
evil genii into horse, or now C;eSer had
been warrior bold" and shared the
same fate, and the Imagination could
run on in this channel, and trace another
life for each Of these wonderful animals,
but fortunately the light of the nine
teenth century has dispelled these
illusions, and the performance can now
be viewed as another illustration Of the
power given to man at the creation over
the inferior animals. Those who wit
ness Prof. Bartholomew and his pets on

their inimitable performance will see
the highest result OF human patience
and animal intelligence. That these
