If it required an annual outlay of Sl00. % to insure family against any serious consequences from an attack of bowel complaint during the year there are many who would feel it their duty to pay 1t; that they could not afford to risk their lives, and those of their fam fly for such an amount. Any one can get this insurance for p cents. that being the price of a bottle of Chamber laln's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In almost every neighbor- hood some one has died from an attack of bowel complaint before medicine could be procured or a physician sum- moned. One or two doses of this rem edy will cure any ordinary case. 1t never fails. Can you afford to take the risk for so small an amount? For sale by J. II. Tipton, Druggist.
 Luther Bazel, the supposed negro rapist, confined in jail at this place since last Thursday night, was liber-
 ated Tuesday morning by order Of Sheriff Williams. As heretofore stat ed in these columns, BaZel was captllr- ed on Cat Island in Crlttenden county and brought to this city by Detective Paul charged with having committed an assault upon a white woman At Mablevale, in Pulaski county, near Little Rock. Sheriff Booker was noti- lied and a deputy was sent after the
 prisoner, who failed entirely to fit the niche for which his captor designed him. The detective then cast about to have him fill vacuum caused by tie perpetrator of a similar deed upon q ] i3-year-old negro girl near Arkadei- phla, this move also failed of it's pir. pose. the deputy sent to investigate disowning him.

 W transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper eff forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated eondi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and k everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. It's beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without facilitating the organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore all important, in order to get it's bene- feial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. Ii afflicted with any actual disease, ono may be commended to the most slSillful physicians, but if in need of laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

LINcoLN's HAT.
The Subject of a Controversy il
Washington Courts.

The Subject of n Controversy in
Washington Courts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The hat
that President Lincoln wore the night
he was assassinated in Ford's theatre,
this city, was the subject of a contro-
versy in the district courts, which
ended today in a judgment for the
custodian of the Museum of Lincoln
Relics, contained in the house where
the martyred president died. The evil
dence in the case disclosed these facts:
The hat, now a rusty beaver, was pre-
sented by Mrs. Lincoln to Rev. DR..
Phineas D. Gurley, then pastor of New
York avenue Presbyterian church, who
preached the sermon at the funeral of
the dead president. After DR.. Cur
ley's death the hat was placed on eX
hibition by his son in the patent Of
fee, where it disappeared after some
years. 1t was next seen in the Smith
sonian museum, without the card stat
ing that it was loan from the Gurley
estate At that time it was seen by
representatives of the Gurley estate
but they made no effort to reclaim it
until some years later, when it had
been transferred to the Lincoln Relic
museum Judge Cole held that this
delay was fatal to the Gurleys, under
the operation of the statute of limita
tons; that having failed to assert til
tie, they could not now do so.

"ROYAL SPANISH LOTTERY"
A swindling Concern of the Most
Pronounced Type, but it Has
Doubtless Made Money for its
ManipuIafors.

CHICAGO Oct. ia gigantic swim
ding scheme, carried on in America for
the last five years, is said to have been
laid bare by the Chicago police. Seven
men have been arrested in connection
with the charges of fraud. The men in
custody are William Benson; Philip Lau-
tenschlager, James Maskovitz, G. H.
Matte. r. j. Simpson, alias James Singer,
R. S. Smales, Mayo Taylor.
The name under which the alleged
manipulators of the scheme and their
agents are said to have been operating
is the Royal Spanish Lottery Company
of America, which has been represented
as branch of the concern of that name
having its base in Madrid, Spain. In
stead of being genuine, the police say it
has no connection whatever with the for
eign concern, and its patrons have been
led to believe that they were investing
their money on possible returns. Tne
charge against the accused, summed up,
is that they have been selling tickets reg
uiarly every month to peonle who have
been led to understand that they were
entitled to chances in the drawing held
in Madrid. Each month a card was sent
to patrons indicating what the winning
numbers were.

CROPS IN NORTHWEST INDIA 81 AVE
BEEN SERIOUSLY DAMAGED
Unless Rain Falls Very Soon Much
Suffering Must Ensue-Merchants
in Calcutta Selling Americsn
Wheat.

LONDON, Oct 16.-The viceroy OF
India has cabled to the government
that owing to the lack of rain. the
crops in northwest India in several
districts of Central India and upper
Burmah have been seriously damaged,
and that unless rain falls shortly
famine will be inevitable. There is
some local feeling in the unaffected
districts, owing to the expectation of
wheat to the districts in which the
crops are damaged, and this has
caused a rise in prices. Merchants in
Calcutta are now selling American
wheat, the importation of which is ex-
pected to favorably affect the price,
but the present DEAFNESS is the cause
of the government granting some re-
lief to the sufferers. A grant of ten
lakhs of rupees has been sanctioned
by the government in the north for
wells and other public works of neces-
sity.

Notwithstanding that searching parties
have been at work since the perpetrd

last evening when two men entered the
saloon and at once commenced Kidding
the place of it's customers by flourish

into the air. and the men left imme-
diately. Approaching Joseph Bauer,
they commanded him to throw up his
handss one bandit striking him upon
the head, while the other shot a bullet
into his side near the heart. The money
drawer was then opened and some cash
taken. The shooting attracted the at
tention of some of the neighbors, but
before any reached the saloon the rob
bers had left through a rear door.
Early this morning a large party
started out, armed with rifles. Farmers
have joined the posse and yearly 300
have spent the day searching the woods
but without result. If any are caught
they will undoubtedly be lynched.
