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 we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Arkansas City Under Water.

Inch by inch the threatening waters
Of the great floods in the Mississippi
and other rivers that take their course
through the several Southern States
Of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkan-
sas, have continued to encroach upon
the lands adjoining the overnowed
districts, until there now appears to be
absolutely no limit to their mad pro-
gress. Yesterday the news came that
Arkansas city was under water and
today the news is augmented by the
report that a break has occurred at
Brooks Mill short distance above the
city. In this break it is said that the
opening was fifty feet wide when last
heard from. The volume Of water
coming through the break will aug
ment the flood coming out Of the
Lakeport crevasse, and will help to
flood the parishes east of the Macon
Hills in Louisiana. 1t is also feared
that il will add to the water that is
going into the Tensas levee district
and will made matters worse there.
In other portions of the State reports
are less depressing.

In the death of Mr.. James Rightor.
at Helena, Ark, on the evening Of the
10Th Instant, the State lost great and
good man, one who combined the
qualities of excellent citizenship with
those of truly remarkable genius as a
man. 1t was this man who in the
flfties, when Jefferson Davis was Sec
retary Of War, had contract with the
government to deepen the Southwest
Pass at the mouth of the Mississippi
river and successfully accomplished
the job. He was under contract TO
maintain the depth of water secured,
but failed on account of his participa-
ton in the war. Years afterward he
confded to Mr.. Eads his plans for
maintaining deep channel at the
mouth Of the river, and was promised
q share In the profits of the contract
which Mr. Eads obtained. lie never
realized anything from this promise.
Mr.. Rightor made two or three for
tunes, but died poor at the age Of sew
enty years. lie leaves wife and six

PRESSING FORWARD.
Work on the Texarkana & Ft. Smith
Railway Progressing Rapidly.

Contracts for grading the first ten
miles of rosdbed, on the extension of
the Texarkana & Fort Smith railway,
north from Its present terminal point
at Wilton, Ark, having been let to
Mr.. w. c. Merritt, the work
Of construction will be pushed
rapidly forward to completion.
The work of grading has already been
commenced, under the personal super
vision of the contractor, who has
fully two hundred men aud ninety
teams engaged on the work. The
contract provides that the work of
grading sh all be completed and the
track lain over this ten miles of the
route by or before the 1st day of July,
in this year. The engineering corps
is now engaged in running the third
preliminary line of survey between
Texsrkana and Ft. Smith, which is to
be located throug to the latter city, by
the 18th of June. There will then be
three distinct lines of survey from
which to select permanent route,
said selection to be made without de-
lay, upon the completion Of the third
preliminary line. Chief Engineer
Bruce, who has been engaged in run
ming lines on the south end, has been
transferred to the northern extension,
and is at this time actively engaged
in the location of permanent line of
survey to given point, heretofore de-
termined upon. Contracts for con-
struciion, grading, ETC., are
being let upon this line
as rapidly as same is completed. These
contracts are let after the usual man
ner of such work, in ten and twenty
mile sections. On another division of
this road the work of extension ap-
pears to be progressing equally as
successfully as upon that which ap-
proaches more closely and concerns
more nearly our own interests. We
allude to the work of extension in
Benton county, Ark, of which the
following report is made:
Several cars Of tools and forty or
fifty teams arrived at Sulphur Springs
last week, and work began on the
southern extension of the railroad
Monday morning. This is thing
that has been looked for and it will
give new courage to the people there.
1t will give an impetus TO business and
stimulate development to an extent
that has not been heretofore known.
"There is no doubt that some good
towns will spring up along the line,
and that industrial interests will de-
velop rapidly, causing great enhance
ment in the value of property"

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

A rather romantic and prospective
ly happy marriage was solemnized in
this city last evening, at the hospita-
BILE home of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Crenshaw. The contracting parties
to this interesting hymeneal event,
were Mr.. Il. ID. Britt and Miss Ellie
Head, both of Richmond, Ark. The
marriage was the result of long
standing attachment between the
parties, who are both members of ex-
cellent families occupying high social
position. The meeting here, which
resulted in happy consummation of
the marriage tie, was by previously
concerted plan, usually termed an
elopement. On arrival here the
license were at once procured, and the
services of Rev. Ernest Thompson
brought into requisition to pronounce
the all important words which united
these loving hearts in the sacred
bonds of wedlock. The bridal couple
leave to-day for Paris, Tex, on visit
to relatives and friends in that city.
The DEMOCRAT tenders Its most sin
cere congratulations and hopes for the
happy couple bounteous share Of
life's joys in their new relationship.

a Decided Success.

The entertainment given by the
ladies Of of st. James Episcopal church,
at Ghio's opera house, in this city, last
evening, proved an unqualified sue
cess. Each participant in the even
ing's excellent exercises added fresh
laurels to the crown Of splendid
achievement Talent Of the highest
order in amatuer performances was
exhibited by the participants, indi-
vidually and collectively. Especially
was this true Of the visiting perform
ers, who literally crowned themselves
with hoDors richly deserved and grace
fully won. The recitation Of Miss
Viva Moody was a masterpiece Of ar
tistic grace and elocutionary skill.
Messrs. Allen and Sedberry, assisted
by our Mr.. James Motley, did them
selves great credit as accomplished
musicians. The Misses Mamie and
Cuggie Hynson sustained their de-
servedly excellent reputation as Mis-
tresses of the musical and vocal arts.
Misses Katie Taylor and Ollie Mills

spectivc exhibitions Of elocutionary

An Imposition and Outrage.

AT the last term OF the Federal
court here, rantankerous Third party
cranks went before the United States
Grand Jury and had Mr.. III. M. Allen,
of Prescott, indicted, for interference
with Federal supervisor, in the last
national election. Mr.. Allen acted as
one of the election judges in that cleo
zion, at Prescott, and simply did his
duty in enforcing the new State cleo
ton law, which forbids any person
from meddling with or interfering
with voter, while preparing his bal
lot. He and Mr.. w. B. White Zone Of
the other judges made Federal SUI
pervisor keep away from the voting
booths and polling place, as the law
directed. The Indictment was a piece
of spite work, and the case all the way
through, an imposition and an out
rage. The case is now pending in
court, and can hardly be settled other
wise than by the acqulttal of Mr..
Allen.
A large number of Prescotts most
prominent citizens are here, either as
witnesses or interested spectators.

accomplishments. Miss Fannye VIII.
Jams, our local "queen of song" won
fresh laurels, while Miss Oracle Finch
delighted all with renewed evidences
of her vocal gifts. Little
Valerie Reeves, as the leader of a
beautiful bevy of petite misses, ap-
peared her usual faclnating little self.
Messrs Ben Williams and win Fergu-
son contributed literally to the sue
cess of the occasion, while Messrs
Will Mccartney, Claude Skeen and
others made display of their aptitude
for startling clImaxes and awkward
situations. The music by Brewers
Band and its members severally was
simply splendid. To Mrs. Pitcher, a
world of praise has been accorded,
both for herself and assistants, for un-
exampled excellence of both arrange
ment and management of this exquis-
ite affair.

A Striking Comparison.

One can scarcely realize how highly
civilized is the age and truly peaceful
is the country in which we are happily
permitted to live. This fact will be
brought to mind with perhaps start
ling as well as unexpected force by the
following aptly prepared statistics on
a most important, though little COM
pretended, subject: Uncle Sans army
of ofllceholders is just about seven
times as large as his army of regular
soldiers. About $4,000 people are
enrolled in the civil service, of whom
10000 are included in the postal SER
vice in various capacities, from post
masters of the first rank down to those
who keep a postofilce in the corner of
a crossroads grocery. or the civil SER
vice army only about 20 per cent en-
joy the protection of the civil service
law. There is plenty of room for the
extension of the merit system in the
civil service. The opportunity is
ready, but the spirit seems weak.

He Has Slept a Week.

DLooMER, WIS, UcU. zI.-An ora Iarn-
er named John Granville, ST., living
fifteen miles northwest from here, went
to sleep on Friday evening of last week
and is still sleeping. The gentleman
was not well previous to this and
the family had been up with
him at vario; times during the
night. Last Friday night, how
ever, he slept without waking and
as he continued to sleep through Satur-
day an effort was made to arouse him
but without success. A physician was
called and he used every means possible
to awaken him, BIT had to give up the
task. During the past few days he has
shown signs of reviving at times, but
quickly dropped back into comatose
state. Liquid food has been given to
him in small quantities. It is one of the
strangest cases known in this vicinity
and the local physicians are baftled
by it.

Criticised for Not Carrying Out His

LA CROSSE, Wis, Oct. 2S.-Some days

OF his choice Tor 4 chief Of po-
lice. Yesterday he expressed him
self in an interview that he would
not close the saloons at present.
The Peoples Reform Club also
passed resolutions asking the mayor at
his bidding not to enforce the act. Last
night the Rev. Wilbur T. Crafts, Of
Pittsburg, a member of the Wisconsin
Sabbath Reform Association, de-
nounced the mayor because he took an
oath to enforce the law and then was
ruled by a small body of men. He fur
Their said that the mayor had constituted

Desperate Fight for life.


ASHLAND, Wis, Oct. 2.-Some wood
choppers from Belknap's camp, near
Brule, found James Laughren, hunter
and homesteader, lying unconscious in
the forest yesterday. Laughren was
lying beside the body Of a large buck
deer. He tells story of fearful con-
test with the buck, which charged him
after having been MORALLY wounded by
q shot from the hunters gun. One
prong of the deer's antlers had pene-
trated Laughren's body. A hunter
from Superior, who was out with q
bullseye lantern hunting at night,
which is contrary to law, had
his headgear torn away by
mysterious bullet last night.
He had the lantern strapped on his
head.
