Good Health

And good appetite go hand in hand. With the
loss of appetite, the system can not long sus-
tain itself. Thus the Notifications of good health
are broken down and the system is liable to at
lacks of disease. 1t is in such cases that the
medicinal powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are
clearly shown. Thousands who have taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla testify to its great merits
as purifier of the blood, its powers to restore
and sharpen the appetite and promote a
healthy action ofthe digestive organs. Thus
it is not what we say but what Hoods Sarsa-
parilla does that tells the story and constitutes
the strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine Why not take Hood S
Sarsaparilla now?

SOVEREIGN'S HOME.
The Great Labor Leader VIII
Have Apples and Cool
Air Next Sum-
mer.

A recent dispatch from Sulphur
Springs, Ark, Mr.. Sovereign's home,
says.
Grand Master Sovereign, of
the Knights of Labor, is too busy
to sell those 1000 barrels OF apples
he put in his natural cold storage
cave when they were worth one
dollar barrel, albeit, they are now
worth twice as much. In fact, he
is SO busy that he won't have time
to sell those apples before mex
July and he won't be to blame ii
they are worth $5 a barrel
then,
MIR. Sovereign Is busy mauling
fence rails and so much in earnest
in the work that today he broke Il
ten pound maui. He Is making for
himself a home and when he COM
pletes it he will defy the heat of
summer. 1t is to be of rough stone
and stand just in front OF his apple
cave, to which 1t will he connected
by pipes through which an electric
fan will drive cool air into the
domicile. It's a great scheme and
has already found a new convert-Mr
Stillwell, President of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Trust Company
who owns a lot and cave and is
going to share summer resort
temperature along with Mr..
Sovereign. Prof. Walters, geolo-
gist OF the Pittsburg and Gulf road
has property near by, but no
cave.
This town in which Mr.. Sovereign
lives has 900 inhabitants, not includ-
ing the lean and razor backed
shoats which roam the streets
The natives take kindly to the new
corners. One whose various patched
trousers could be mistaken for u
lithograph map of the township,
was heard to remark: The Soyerins
is good fellers.'

A Large Audience Present and
Every One Perfectly satis-
fed With What
They Saw.

The fistic carnival which took
place before the patrons OF the Pine
Bluff Athletic Association last even
ing was an immense success. and
every one was thoroughly satisfied
with what they saw.
The club room was well filled. and
in the audience were many OF Pine
Bluffs foremost business men who
had assembled there to witness the
contest between four pugilists who
are well known to the sporting fra
ternity all over the United States.
viz: Billy Layton, Frank White.
Shadow" Maber and Casey.
The first event on the program
was three-round bout between
Casey, OF Chicago, and Shadow
Maber, the Australian. Both men
entered the ring about the same
time and took their respective cor
ners. Maber was seconded bv kid
Ryan and Casey by Robinson.
The gong sounded and both men
bounded to the center of the arena
and the contest begun. From the
start it was plainly evident to all
present that Casey was not Gin 1t"
with Maber and in the second
round the Australian landed Sc
we're blow on his opponent which put
a stop to the contest.
The chief feature of the entertain
ment was the twenty-five-round con-
contest between Billy Layton aud
Frank White, of Colorado. Both
men are superb and scientific box
ers. In the second round White
landed a chance blow on Layton
which knocked him off his "pins. !"
de quickly sprang to his feet, how
ever, and made a rush for White,
and succeeded in getting in punch
with his right on Whites jaw, and
down he went. White saw that he
would be defeated, SO he allowed the
referee to count him out and Layton
was declared the victor.
BY request of the audience Layton
and Maber then engaged in two
round contest. These men are more
evenly matched than were any OF
the Others and the exhibition they
gave of the manly art of self de-
Tense" was the finest ever witnessed
IN Arkansas. At the end of the two
rounds honors were about even.
Throughout the entire exhibition
the most perfect order was main
tanned and while there were some
severe blows exchanged none of the
contestants were injured and there
was nothing indicative of brutality.
