NEVADA, June 2.-Iohn E. Blair and
his son Alva Blair attacked the former's
son-in-law, Henry Anthony, on the

his throat in the presence of two hun
dred people. Both ofthe Blairs at once

are in Jail.

WEEK IN CONGRESS.

The most notable events of last
week were the passage by the Senate
of Senator Buffers Bond Bill, to pre-
vent the President of the United States
from again issuing bonds without the
consent of Congress. Also the passage
of the River and Harbor bill which
carries altogether over 50 millions Of
dollars appropriation. 1t will be re-
membered that the President had
vetoed this bill in a ringing message
to Congress, but both the Senate and
House have passed it over his veto
with more than the necessary q ma
jority. Z

Spanish Cruisers on the Jersey Coast.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 81. 1t is
believed by some here that Spanish
gunboats are patrolling the lower New
Jersey coast on the watch for filbuster-
ing expeditions. John and David An
drews, two local yachtmen, have re-
ported to Lighthouse Keeper Kolf,
of the Absecon light, that searchlights
proceeding from vessels off this city
were seen late tonight. Searchlights
have been seen on the coast on several
previous occasions within the past four
days.

Elevator Accident.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 3-The pas
senger elevator of the Friedenwald
Printing Company, Baltimore and
Eutaw streets, fell from the fourth floor

this morning. Fourteen men and
women were in the car as it shot down
the shaft. The elevator conductor had
miraculous escape, coming out un-
injured. The other thirteen persons
were terribly injured, broken legs and
arms being the fate of many. Two of
the injured are in a dying condition

Letter From Gomez.

The following is an extract from a
letter dated May 16, from Gen. MaXimo
Gomez to Senor Estrada Palma, the
delegate in New York, and was given
out at the headquarters of the Cuban
delegation Tuesday:

umphal course, and every day that

its fourth period, in which the conflict
will assume servere character for

There is no spirited soldier when his

THE wreck of the City Savings Bank It Hot Springs seems to have been complete. The Receiver has made his official report which shows that the liabilities of the bank are $207 200.67, with assets which are practically worthless. The bank holds Hogaboom's individual notes, without indorsement, to the amount af S135, 900, while the total amount of overdrafts is $49, ,669. g, of which sum $44, 343.59 represents the indi- vidual overdrafts of Hogaboom. The official report shows that Hoga- boom deliberately helped himself and literally footed the bank of all it's assets. It was 3 cold blooded deal, and depositors and creditors will not receive one cent. In the meantime Hogaboom's whereabouts seem to be a mystery, and what he did with the banks money is un- known. The theory is that he lost it in speculation and gambling.

CAMPBELL OF OHIO.
SHORT SKETCH OF THE FAMOUS ex-
 GOVERNOR.

A Eos Who Is Not vengeful-As to the
 Third Tsrm-His Family-A Tribute to
 His wife-His Record Clean One.
 Campbell is above middle height and weight, alert and powerful physically and with mentality to match. The current of his thought is clear and strong and his mind is eminently quick, ac- curate and decisively executive in its sort. Campbell has the mind of com mander, with the temper, the courage, the optimism, as we'll as the physique, to make him leader among thousands.
 Campbell is woefully seant of hair and as bald as ex-Speaker Crisp, gentle man, by the way, he resembles not 8 little in looks. Such hair as remains loyal to Campbell is light of hue, while his eyes are blue and his mustache the color of corn silk Beard he has none, and his face, keen, apprehensive and withal of rugged strength, shows as kindly, as generous, as charitable as ever did Abe Lincoln's.
 Campbell has few foes and no feuds. While in no sense of yielding or all easy nature, and tenacious of right to the point which dies defending it, Camp bell is too magnanimous to foster yen-

representing human toil Is can only be so produced, and all that the government can do is to recog
 nize and equitably regulate that which is and always has been money -gold and silyer-the one being equal with the other in purchasing and debt paying power. Democracy wants no fiat issue, It simply wants silver restored to it's eonsti- tutional place as money and coined as gold is coined, by the govern ment, free of cost, and upon an equitable ratio with gold.
 When this is done there will be money enough to meet the demands of trade. Whatever paper money there is must be redeemable in coin. ;"

OUR esteemed evening contempo- rary sounded the "tocsin of alarm" Saturday afternoon in regard to the shops. We think our e. c. has al lowed itself to become too easily frightened. Pine Bluff need have no fears of the removal of the Cotton Belt shops. Railway corporations don't build $10O,O00 plants just to tear them down again. The pro- posed shops at Tyler, Texas, simply means that the Cotton Belt will build repair shops there for the Texas end of the line, while the Missouri and Arkansas divisions will furnish work for the Pine Bluff shops to their fullest capacity. This is not official, but it is very likely correct.

cure. The effects of such disorders are not limited to mere local discomforts but ex- tend over the whole body. Perhaps the nerves are most affected, and this III turn distarbs the digestion After that there IS no telling what form the trouble may take. With irritable nerves and poor digestion woman is on the straight road to the grave. Women are notoriously negligent in mat ters pertaining to their health. Too many of them understand too little about their own physical makeup. They do not uti- derstand their possibilities or their iiniita- tions, and they do not know enough about themselves to know when symptom IS really serious and when it is not This nat urally makes them overlook the plainest of danger signals The start of everything Is simple. The start of so-called female cofsplaints may be very slight thing ill., decd. It may be that i'll the beginning soue small hygienic measures would stop the trouble Certainly at this time, little bit of the right medicine would stop it. When the trouble becomes worse, 1t is harder to cure, but still it can be cured. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will posi- lively cure any trouble of this character. It may be absolutely relied upon. 1t affords immediate and lasting relief to woman whose natural modesty has kept her from consulting physicians.
 ,rne whole story of the "Favorite Pre- scriptioy and what it has done for thou sands of women is told ill Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. This is a 1908 page book, profusely illustrated. written in plain language for the use of every day people, and gives in clear and lucid way an immense amount of valuable information about health and medicine. It will be sent free on receipt of 2I one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing onLy.

seFIAT FOLL1.n

The Hot Springs Daily News is a strong free silver paper, but it don t believe in the Populist "fat" doe urine advocated by the Gazette, The Gosette's teachings, the Neaos thinks, and truly, are undemocratic and
 'mischievous. " No power on earth can create money by fiat, truly says the Ne1cS Money must possess an intrinsic value of it's own, or represent a value. Fiat money means an issue of paper currency, not redeemable in anything. with merely the decla
 ration of the government upon it that it is money. Such a declara- tion without any promise to redeem in something of value could not pos sibly endow paper with currency value. This old folly has long since been exploded among all intelligent people. The Democratic party new CT did and never will countenance such idiocy. Money represents a value-represents toll, is created by human labor The Democratic par ty believes in gold, silver and paper money, but none of it as fiat issue. It believes in gold and silver equal with each other, as the moneys of commerce, and as the ultimate basis of all other issues. It believes in a paper currency based upon these metals, but such paper money is not fat money because it rests upon and represents coin. The stamp of the government upon gold or silver coin is not a fiat impart- ing value to it as currency. It is only the recognition of t as legal tender, and fixing it's ratio, and it's denomenational value. It's value as money is inherent. Money does not,
 nor can it come from the govern ment. It comes from the people,

It was because the Re- publicans forged shackles for defeated south after the war had ended that Campbell left the party for the De- mocracy.
 Campbell was in congress during the four years of the first Cleyelandiad. Ha was not often with the administration and belonged to the Randall camp of the house Democracy Speaking of Cleveland, Campbell declines the belief that the president would take third term.
 He would scarcely ask, " says Camp bell, for what Washington wouldn't take and Grant couldn't get. D
 During his terms in the house Camp. bell voted always to pass the pensioz bills, veto stabbed by Cleveland over the latter's veto.
 "The veto power, " said Campbell on one occasion, when asked why he was aligned against the White House will in this pension behalf, was never meant for so small purpose. do not believe in using battery of Rodman guns tc kill gnats and midges with. "
 It was Senator Jones who told 8 story in the senate in response to Cleveland { veto of an old woman's pension bill oR the grounds that she got drunk
 Once ill San Francisco" said Sena. tor Jones, a man fell into a hole in the sidewalk and sued the city for his in- juries. The defense put in was that the man was drunk. This nightly incensea the court.
 ''There is nothing in such a de- fense, said the judge sayagely. A drunken man has as much right to have a perfect sidewalk as sober man, and needs one worse.
 That, concluded Jones, lis the way I feel about this old lady's pen sion. ' And he voted to pass it over the veto. So, too, did Campbell, who took much delight ill Jones story.
 Campbell has wife and four chil- dren-two sons and two daughters The elder daughter, Elizabeth, is married and resides iii Columbus. The younger, Jessie, a beautiful girl of 18, would be the success of the White House should her father come i'll for the presidency.
 The ex-governor home is in Hamil- ton. His house, within and without, if perfect i'll it's appointments. There is no more of beauty ill any other home in the state. Yet it was taste-Mrs Camp bell's-not money, which brought this home marvel about, for Campbell is not rich. Every dollar he ever had, how ever, he honestly earned which is 2 boast not always to be made about an Ohio Democrat. There are some who don't answer that description On Campbell's $ money there is no dirt
 Following the war Campbell studied law, and then practiced it. He has been prosecuting attorney of Butler county, member of congress and governor of Ohio. His record ill each office is white as wool He not only kept faith with the state, but with the party, too, and today, whatever his political belief, there is no man to be found who doubts for moment the wisdom, the integrity and the superb courage of the Hon.
