A Des Moines woman who has been
troubled with frequent colds, concluded
to try an old remedy in new way,
and accordingly took tablespoonful
-four times the usual dose) of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy just before going
to bed. The next morning she found
that her cold had almost entirely dis.
appeared. During the day she
took a few doses of the remedy Zone
teaspoonful at time) and at night
again took tablespoonful before going
to bed, and on the following mornin :
awoke free from all symptoms of the
cold. Since then she has, on sever i
occasions, used this remedy in like
manner, with the same good results,
and is much elated over her discovery
of so quick way of curing a cold. For

WILL NOT SETTLE.


The West Virginia State Senate on
Thursday took up and passed the joint
resolution which was passed by the
House OF Delegates on the 18th of Jan
uary, declining to appoint commission
ers to treat with the commissioners sp-
pointed by the General Assembly of
Virginia for the settlement of a, part If
the Virginia debt, held to be due fro N
West Virginia, on the basis proposed by
thai State-namely, that West Nir-
GINA should pay ore-third of the pub
lie debt of Virginia existing at the be-
ginning of the late war.
Referring to the dispatch sent to the
President of the Senate last month by
the Virginia commissioners, 10 wbich
they agreed to enter upon the settle
ment of the debt on no other basis than
that proposed in the resolution creating
the commission, Chairman Whitaker, OF
the finance committee, said the Virginia
commissioners exceeded their powers
and authority when they proposed TO
settle the debt on any other basis than
that stipulated in the resolution ap-
pointing them, and for that reason
settlement with them on any other
basis wonld be considered null and
void by Virginia.
The committee, therefore, refused to
consider the proposition of the Vir
ginia committee.
Senator Finley moved to amend the
resolution by adding statement show
ing he reasons for which this State de-
ciined to enter upon negotiations with
the Virginia commissioners, but thu
Senate refused 10 amend the resolu-
ii IN, which members thought was ex'
plicit enough to be perfectly under
stood.
The resolution recited simply that
the legislature of West Virginia de
clinrd to treat with the Virginia CON-
missioners for the settlement of the
debt on the basis proposed-namely,
that West Virginia should pay Que.
third of the debt. The amendment OF
Mr.. Finley was rejected, and the reso-
luton adopted without dissenting
voice.

A CHRISTMAS FIRE.
Contractor Fleet Jones' Residence Totally Destroyed-The Family Absent
 st the Time.

This morning all that remains of the handsome home of Contractor Fleet Jones, which on yesterday stood on Fourteenth avenue and Cherry street, is the blocks and a few charred pieces of timber. Last evening Mir. Jones and family re- paired to the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church to be present at the Christ mas tree. Shortly after their de parture from home their house was discovered to be in flames. An alarm was souded but the flames had gained too great headway when the fire department arrived at the scene for the house to be saved. The con- tents and house were destroyed. MT. Jones was insured for small snm in companies represented by the w. H. Parker agency. How the fire originated is unknown.

After the marriage the bride and groom returned to Pine Bluff, and last night were guests of tht Arlington Hotel.

An Oversight.

Through an oversight of the prin- ter, the notice of Kastor < Bluthen- thal's show windows in an article in the last issue of the GRAPHIC was omitted. The GRAPHIC regrets this sincerely, for the display made by this firm was one of the prettiest in the city. The stock of clothing, shoes, neckwear, etc., carried by this firm is one of the largest in the South and the house is a credit to Pine Bluff.

The American public at its present time is eagerly looking for an ideal Hamlet, such as the theater-goers have been educated by Edwin Booth to expect. All of our tragedians nowadays favor new plays, either from lack of talent, or owing to the excitement they derive from new productions, they avoid the great tragedies. Creston Clarke is un- doubtedly the most promising of our native actors to enact Hamlet. " and as the Prince he strongly resem- bles his distinguished uncle, Edwin Booth. He will be at the Opera house in this city Saturday night. No advance in prices.
