A remarkable display of northern
lights commenced about half past six on
Friday evening, reaching from northwest
to northeast. The flashes of light ex-
tended nearly to the zenith, and were
varied by masses of delicate coloring,
rose color, green and violet. Atone time
very dark bank of heavy lead-color ex-
tended up about ten degrees above the
horizon. At another time the light seemed
to form two arches, one above the other
similar to double rainbow.

LILLIAN LEWIS.

To say good by, sweetheart, is not
SO difficult a matter, but very often
it hurts to such an extent that the
wound never heals and such is the
case in the play Good Bye Sweet
Heart, which Miss Lillian Lewis
will present to a Texarkana audi
ence, at Ghio's Opera House, on
Monday evening, next, Matinee.
Credit Lorraine" in the after
noon.
"Was it not beautiful, " Charm
ing indeed" are the comments
made upon the production Of this
really elegant and attractive drama
wherever produced.
In this play Miss Lewis plays La
Tisba, a beautiful, a good and pure
woman, and true as steel Victor
Hugo wrote great play and as
simple as simplicity itself. Miss Lew
is shrewd woman for even this
generation of shrewd women-she
has studied public taste and deter
mined that no production short of
a great one would fill her Golfers
with the golden contents wanted
a beautiful dance-splendid cos
tunes, and charming apothosis
vision, coupled with fine acting and
a great play, are the combined in
gradients with which she made a
bid for success in the production of
Good Bye Sweet Heart. She deser-
YES success and she receives it, ana
she is by no means the whole show,
as many stars aim to be. She has
splendid company in each particu-
liar. Matinee Credit Lorraine"

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 perfect lax
atiye cfectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and feycrs
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 aIl drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it IS man
ufactured by the California Fig SyruI
Co, only, whose name is printed on ever

IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.

Concerning the qualification of
voters, at the coming city election,
and determining who will, as well as
who will not be, qualified to vote
thereat, under the recent election
law of Arkansas, Attorney General
James p. Clark, of this State, has
written the following clear and ex-
plicit instructions thereon;
LITTLE Rock, Feb. 9th, 1894
Mr., ]. V, Scott, Clerk,
Dear Sir:-Yours of a late date
come to hand in due time. The law
requires you to furnish to the sher-
iff not less than three certified prin-
ted lists for each voting precinct in
in the county at least ten days be-
fore any general or special election.
This will of course include city
election. The copies you are to
furnish are to be made from the
list last filed in your Office by the
collector. You have nothing to do
with making the list; that is to be
done by the collector. He files his
list after he has collected all that
he can before his settlement in Ju-
ly, The law does not contemplate
that he shall file but one list during
any one tax gathering, This list
for the present tax collection will
not be due until July first. The list
filed last July is the one you will
furnish to the sheriff for the ensuing
city elections. OF course those who
have the orher qualifications pre-
scribed' by law, will be. entitled to
vote upon a payment of poll tax for
represent year, but evidence Of
this payment must be furnished by
the receipt of the collector exhibi-
ted to the election judges, 1t is al
so true that such as paid taxes at
the last collection may vote at the
ensuing city election notwithstand-
ing a failure to pay this years poll
tax, since the time for the collect
tion Of the present years taxes will
not close until next July, and no
one can be said to be in default un-
til after the last moment within
the payment can be made has pass
ed, Answering you directly, l will
say that you will furnish copies of
the collectors list now of record in
your Office and which was filed
there last July. Neither yourself
or any other officer can make up
any list for the special purpose of
the city coming elections.
Very truly yours,
JAMES p. CLARKE,
Attorney General of Arkansas.
