DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR.
Chief Donoghue Also Benefited by
Paine's Celery Compound.

Paine,S celery compound.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-In all the de-
partments at Washington Paine's celery
compound has become the office express
sion for an ideal invigorator when one is
run down" by overwork, combining du-
ties, or any Of the many causes that re.
suit in i'll health.
Here is what prominent official in the
Department of the Interior says OF Paine's
celery compound:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
It affords me much pleasure to state
that Paine's celery compound has been
to me an excellent spring remedy, and
particularly beneficial to the nervous sys-
tenn and digestive organs. l cordially
commend its use.
M. F. DONOGHUE,
Chief OF Contest Division.
Among the thousands of voluntary let
tiers of acknowledgement for benefit de-
rived from Paine's celery compound,
there have already been published in the
Washington papers testimonials from
men representing every department Of
the national government-not only from
many of the best known Congressman,
but from hosts OF Woodworking clerks
unknown outside OF theirimmediate circle
of friends. Some of those who have vol
unfairly Endorsed Paine's celery COM
pound are:
Congressman Powers of Vermont.
Congressman Meredith of Virginia
Congressman Bell of Colorado.
Congressman Neill of Arkansas.
Congressman WILDER of New York.
Congressman Grout of Vermont.
Congressman Otey of Virginia.
Mr.. Carlisle's Private Secretary.
Hon. William R. Smith, Supt. U. S. Botani-
cal Garden.
Maj.Gen. Birney.
Commodore Howell.
Lieut.. c. A. McAllister.
Paine's celery compound builds up the
run down" health in sure, uninter-
rupted, steadfast fashion from which
there can be no relapse. 1t wipes out
unhealthy humors from the blood, opens
up the skin and makes it do it's full share
in purifying the blood. This cleansing
the blood through and through is one Of
the unfailing accomplishments of Paine's
celery compound.
From lifelong contact with the many
forms of nervous debility and impure
blood, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D.,
Ii. D., of the Dartmouth medical school,
was led to the discovery of Paine's celery
compound as the browning achievement
Of an extraordinarily active and success
full professional life.
No acceptable substitute for Paine's
celery compound exists. Each year fur
Their accumulates evidence of the un.
equaled capacity OF this greatest of all
known remedies for restoring health and
vigor.
Now that spring has come, nerves,
blood and vital organs cannot remain
clogged by poisonous humors nor ST arved
by overwork and lack Of sleep without
great risk. Paine's celery compound is
the most intelligent, wisest means any
one can employ for driving out disease
and restoring healthy tone to theentire
system.

The Excursion.

Between one and two hundred visit ors came up on the excursion from Shreveport and Texarkana Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday in Mena. They came on the regular evening train which brought them in just in time to console the Texarkana ball team after It's defeat at the hands of the Mena Fans.
 The Texarkana band which accom- panied the excursionists furnished some good music on the streets, and quite number of the visitors and home folks danced to their music at Jackson's hall in the evening.
 The negro part of the excursion failed to materialize, which caused the cake walk and dance, winch had been prepared for their amusement, to be failures. Most of the crowd returned Sunday and Monday.

 THE WAR MUST STOP.

Purported Interview with the President In
 Which He Is Quoted as Saying Such.
 NEW YORK, June 8.-Herbert J. Brown wires the Journal an interview by third party with President Mckinley in which the latter said, concerning Cuba:
 Unless MT Calhoun's reports differ very ma terially from the overwhelming facts already in my possession, can have but one policy in the matter. This bloody war must stop as we'll in the interests of humanity account of the lives and property of Americans which have been and being needlessly sacrificed. have every confidence in Consul General Lee, his integrity and his painstaking accuracy in reporting the situation. But I felt that the American people would be better satisfied were my action based upon reports obtained by the confidential agents and advisers of my own ad- minlstration, and for that reason I concluded to send, in the first place, Judge Day, and later Mir. Calhoun, to make the investigation. The situation does not admit of delay

Holdar is quite enthusiastic in sug- gesting that canning factory be es- tablished in Mena to make market for the surplus fruit and vegitables. He thinks that the value of the huclxle- berries and blackberrles that will go to waste in the woods of Polk county this season would be more than the entire cotton crop will be worth, and that all this could be saved If arrange ments could be made to properly pre- serve them and send to the markets.

Negotiations with the Cherokee Indians
 Receive Probable Quietus.
 BARRYMORE, l. T., June S.-The nego- tiations between the Cherolxees and the Dawes commission have received a se- were, if not permanent check, and the entire tribe is in state of feverish exA citement over claim presented to the commission by R. C. Adams, John Bull lett and R. l.. Owens, in behalf of the Delawares, asking for the segregation to that tribe of 167, 900 acres of land. Adams and Builett are both Delawares, but citizens of the Cherokee na- tion. Owens, Aa a Cherokee citizen, who is acting as attorney for the Delawares, has figured largely at the Washington end of all the big money deals of these tribes for several years past, and is one of the richest men in the territory. The Delaware claim rests upon treaty entered into with the Cherokees several years ago, through which, upon payment into the general funds of the Cherokee tribe of a certain sum, they were to become equal citizens, and upon final allot- ment to have not less than 160 acres each of the public land. In addition to those named, there are behind the movement ex-Chief Bushy- head and ex-Attorney- General Hast ings, both heretofore influential men in the tribe. The commission has left Tahlequah and express but little hope of reaching an agreement.

A few weeks ago when many people in northern and eastern. states were seeing" airships, it was reported that a member of the Arkansas legislature proposed a bill imposing tax on ships that pass in the night with glaring light. Since that several editors of eastern Journals, who should have known better, have stated that our legislature actually passed such a bill, and then pro ceeded to write wise editorials on the folly of such a measure. Much to the credit of the people of Arkansas none of them have ever been known to have seen an airship as yet.
