In combination, proportion and process Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
 No other medicine ever possessed so much curative power, or reached such enormous sales, or made such won- derful cures, as Hoods Sarsaparilla.
 It is undoubtedly the best medicine ever made to purify, vitalize and en- rich the blood.
 That is the secret of its success.

Thayer.
 The trial of Dr. J. Edward Lee will begin in the criminal side of the supe- rior court to-day before Judge Thayer and jury. This will be the third time that Dr. Lee has been placed on trial on the charge of murder in the second degree.
 There will be sixty-nine jurors from which to make a selection in the supe- rior court to-day to try Dr. J. Edward Lee, and it is believed that this number cannot be exhausted before a panel is selected. As the case is one charging murder in the second degree each side, the state and defense, can challenge peremptorily but ten. That will leave forty nine from which to draw twelve. A long list of witnesses will testify, among them Dr. Bacon, Dr. Fleischner and Medical Examiner White Dr. Wolfe of Hartford win testify for Dr. Lee.

His Third Trial for Murder in the Second
 Degree-The Life Insurance Cnse-The
 Kitty Rogers ase-ISloptomaniac-G
 eral Court News.
 The brief which the plaintiff will submit to the supreme court i'll the case of pr, Austin B. Fuller of this city against the Metropolitan Life h. surance company is finished, It was compiled by Talcott H. Russell of this city, leading counsel for Dr. Fuller, and embraces 130 pages of printed matter. Twenty-nine points are raised relative to the recent finding of Judge George Wheeler in the superior court, declaring the insurance company guilty of fraud.
 The brief claims that the company has been derelict in its agreement to keep up a reserve fund, and states that President John Hegeman of the com pany misrepresented the actual condi- ton of affairs on the witness stand and that the company has misrepresented to Dr. Fuller what rights the assignors of an insurance policy have. The plaintiff will claim that while the meaning of the term reserve divi- dend" is not necessarily the same for all policy holders, it must be the same for all the members of the class to which Dr. Fuller belongs. Besides T. H. Russell the counsel for the plaintiff are John W. filling and E. F. Arvine of this city and l.. A. Full Ter of New York
 The law firm of Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol of this city have charge of the defense.
 The plaintiffs represent policy hold CTS in the Metropolitan Life Insurance company to the amount of $100,000.
 The case came up in the superior court last fall and Judge Wheeler gave finding declaring the insurance conn pany guilty of misrepresentation and fraud. The hearing in the supreme court this week is an appeal from the finding of Judge Wheeler.

IT SHOULD BE McRAE.

The Democracy of the state, when
in convention at Little Rock will be
called upon to select some one for
the place as national committee
man for the State of Arkansas.
In looking over the field we find
many worthy of the honor, but
none more so than Hon. Thos c.
McRae.
Mr.. McRae has already been
selected by the Arkansas Congress-
men, as chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional committee and
it looks to us just at this particular
time and in conjunction with this
position, he could also serve the
party more efficiently On the
national committee than any other
man in the state.
Mr.. McRae is the best qualified
man in the state for the work to be
performed. He is a man eu-
dowed with emery, good judgement
and discretion, and goes about
the duties to be performed in a
business like way and is almost
alway successful.
We hope the Democracy will not
overlook Hon Thos. G. McRae
when giving out this position.

W. A. WILLIAMS BACK.
He Thinks Hot Springs will be Given
a Branch of the Gulf Road.


We mentioned a few issues back,
that General Manager w. A. Viii
hams, of the Texarkana & Fort
Smith railroad had left our city for
Kansas City, iu company with a
committee from Hot Springs, look
ing toward the building of 4 branch
into that city. They arrived in the
grasshopper city all right and met
the officers of the ROAD and after a
conference of a few hours, terms
were offered by the road to put into
Hot Springs a branch of the Port
Arthur Route" and the committee
said the terms were acceptable to
them, and they thought the people
of Hot Springs would accept them
as soon as the matter was laid be-
fore them. We see from the Hot
Springs papers that the committee
is back and a meeting has been
called for the purpose laying the
matter before them. General Man
ager Williams says the offer isbased
on an equitable basis and he thinks
the gulf will be throwing up road
bed soon in the direction of Hot
Springs. We trust such may be the

Farewell and Reception.

The congregation of the Maple
street Presbyterian church gave
Rev. Ernest Thompson a farewell
reception last night at the West
side city hall, and at the same time
received his brother, who is here to
fill his pulpit while he is absent in
Europe.
The reporter was on hand the
forepart of the evening, and learn
ing that there would be no program
as to speeches or songs, and that it
was an informal "leave taking" of
the old and a we coming OF the
new" minister, he knew his services
in a reportorial sense would not be
required and he did not tarry Ion
ger than to see that an elegant
gathering of the good people in the
city, and members of the congrega
tion over which Mr.. Thompson
presides and possibly some OF their
friends, were filing the large and
beautiful hall above stairs, while
ladies and their cOlored help were
ousily engaged in spreading a feast
in the long council chamber below
stairs.
Mr., Thompson has endeared him
self to his congregation and they
were Ioathe to give him up, even
for year, and thai for the pur-
pose of spending his years time in
a theological school in order to i'm
prove and store his mind with use
full knowledge for their benefit.
The reporter numbers Mr.
Thompson, not only among his ac-
quaintances, but trust as friend
and he in sympathy with those who
have an intimate association with
him hate to see him 60 so far away
from home. We trust his voyage
will be free from breakers, and that
his stay will be a pleasant one and
safe return to his native shore, and
his adopted home, Texarkana, will
be as glad to welcome him back as
they were saddened to see him de-
part,
Before all the goodbyes were said
between the minister and his flock,
Mrs. Eaton, who was selected for
the pleasant task, slipped up to Mr.
Thompson and put in his hand a lit
tie bundle, saying this is a token
from your congregation and they
ask you to accept it in the spirit it
is given. We learned the package
contained a nice purse with one
hundred dollars in gold. OF course
the gift was appreciated and added
one more link of love, between pas
tor and congregation.

To keep babies from crying, an
ingenious device is resorted to in
India. The moment child begins
to cry It's mother places her hand
oyer its mouth and nips its nose, 50
that it cannot breathe. Then it is
allowed to breathe freely again,
but should it make use of the OPP
poltunity to again set up howl, it
is at once suppressed in the same
way, This is repeated till the baby
imagines that the painful stoppage
of the breath is caused by its own
effort to scream, and so is careful
to keep quiet
