 Again in Court.

The Pine Bluff water works is again the subject of contention in the United States Court. This time the City of Pine Bluff files a counter claim against the one recently pre- sented by J. NJ Clifford, the late re- ceiver. for $2,176.42. The city pre- sents a counter claim for $7 ,OO0 here tofore paid by the city to the water company as rental for the use of hyd- rants out of repair. The claim is based upon an ordinance requiring the fire department chief to notify the water company ana in case any such hydrant shall remain out of repair three days or more after such notice, the city shall be entitled to certain reductions.-Arkansas Bureau of the Commercial-Appeal.

1t Is In Kentucky-A Quaint Legend
 About 1t.
 A remarkable lake has been discov- cred ill Marshall county, near Benton, Ky. It is known to very few even i'll the county, but a person who explored it vouches for the following facts: The lake is about 50 yards in width and 150 yards in length. The remarkable part of it is that this sheet of water, which is said to be bottomless, rests on the brow of an elevation 150 feet high The water is exceedingly clear. and rain and drought have no effect upon the stage of water.
 It is evidently not supplied by springs, for it freezes in winter. All manner of fish abound in its clear depths There is legend 10 the effect that the Indians sought the brow of this steep mount to dig place so deep that the palefacs could never find their treasures, and finally the mighty interior of the mount filled with water. Another theory is tat in the remote past vol canic eruption or an earthquake caused the phenomenon Enquirer

 She does this with lightninglike rapidity. She has been visited by a number of professors, who have piled her with intricate mathematical prob lems, only to be answered quickly and correctly. She says that Jesus Christ was born on Monday. y.-Cincinnati En- quirer.

READY AT REPARTEE
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE RUSSELL TO
 VISIT OUR SHORES.

He Is Said to Be One of the wittiest Men
 In EngIand-Will Be the Guest of the
 American Bar Association While In This
 Country.
 So the American Bar association is to entertain the lord chief justice of Eng land It is to be hoped that he will not wear his wig. If he does, it will rain icicles in Saratoga If he doesn't the American Bar association will vote him jolly good fellow.
 He is an Irishman too. The great pop ular lawyers in London are Irishmen. They possess the ready wit to compel at- tention and the necessary gift of 'gab, :" love of politics and the urbanity to win friends and influence.
 Lord Russell of Halloween was one of the greatest trial lawyers in England. He played star part in the Gordon Cumming baccarat scandal and ill the Parnell case. Then politics landed him in the chief justices chair. Because he is chief justice it must not be taken for granted that he is the greatest lawyer in England He is not. He was more of 8 criminal lawyer than lawyer of the type of Mr. Choate, MT. Root or MT. Coudert He got some of his greatest glory out of cases which in America would have gone by common consent to Abe Hummel.
 An unknown lawyer with great office practice, such as Mr Fuller or his predecessor, MT. Waite, could never become chief justice of England. MT. Russell worked hard for the Liberal party, and the Liberal party rewarded him.
 His lordship is more of the type of great lawyers whom we knew ill Amer ioa in Webster's time than the leaders at the bar we know now He is fine orator The lawyers will enjoy hearing him speak at Saratoga
 He has touch of the Irish brogue. which, when combined with a genius for ''blarney, :" is delightful and ire sistible. He, Sir Richard Webster, his old antagonist and now attorney gen. eral, and Wr Balfour are said to be the three readiest men at repartee in Eng land
 Many thought that his love of repar- tee, his cumulative nature and his inn patience would prevent him from real izing anything like judicial ideal. But your Irish lawyer, with his ''blarney" and his brogue, is nothing if not versa tile. So Lord Russell disappointed his enemies again by ultra patience and ealmness on the bench. Lord Russell ia Cambridge man. His memory and his stock of knowledge are something pro digious. He is tall and fine looking.
 Sir Frank Lockwood, who will &C., company him, is even taller, with more flesh to his account, and with round, ruddy cheeks, and he always wears wig four sizes too small for him. He may be Lord Russell's successor on the chief bench. He is as yet young man. wears bart, " "Q. O., on his name, and is also an M. P, by the way though he is rarely in the commons as most of the foremost lawyers are.
 If he had not turned his attention to the law, he might have become Jer- ome K Jerome. AS it is, he is one of the best after dinner speakers in Lon don. The lawyers at Saratoga ought to get him, MT. Choate and Mir. Depew into story telling match.-New York Press

 lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to his children. But there is no reason in the world why the weakness should be allowed to de elop. There is no reason why the lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs predispose child to consumption. They provide a place for germs to settle That Is all that IS necessary. Once let the germs of disease gain foot-hold, and they in. crease with deadly rapidity. Pretty soon the blood is full of them, and so loses it's healthfulness and its strength giving quail ties. If the weakness is in some other organ, the disease will show itself in that organ. The germs will get into the blood, just the same, and the body will begin to lose strength. We speak particularly of consumption because 1t is most common because 1t causes more than one-sixth of all deaths in the world.
 If there Is a weak and crumbly spot in the foundation of house, the owner clears out the decaying material, supplants it with new, strong stuff That's all there is to do. That's Il that's necessary.
 That is exactly the thing to do with the lungs Keep them full of rich, red, whole some blood, and the weakness will disap- pear Decaying tissues will be thrown of, and new material will be added untn the lungs are well and perfectly strong again. This is the thing that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery does. This Is what makes 1t cure oS per cent of all cases of consumption where it is taken according to directions. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be in the body 1t ex- terminates them completely and forces them out of the system. It supplies the blood with rich, ife-giving properties IL makes the appetite good, digestion perfect. It supplies the needed nutriment to all the tissues and makes sound, healthy flesh.
 There are some interesting facts about it told in one chapter of Dr. Pierce's great work, Com mon Sense Medical Adviser" This book of Ioos pages will be sent free receipt of twenty-one tzIl one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing sniy.
