1t is not a new fangle remedy

claim to any wonderful revela-

this ever popular remedy.
1t is perfectly harmless, you
need have no fear of becoming
habitually inclined to it's use.
For Collie, Cramps, Dysen-
terry, Colds, and all painful
affections, a few doses will GER
tainly give relief. You cannot
afford to be without a bottle
in the house.
Your forefathers used it
and found it beneficial.
Why experiment with some
remedy that is new and it's effect
on the system unknown?

THE STATE IN BRIEF.

Ex-Chief of Police Frank Botsford, of Little Rock, is dead. Work has begun on the Arkansas Cen tral, from Fort Smith to Paris, Logan county.
 August was the hottest day of the season at Little Rock, the thermometer registering 102.
 Since his inauguration, Gov. Jones has granted 129 pardons and 14 remis- sions of fines ard penalties. A postoffice has been established at Bay Spur, Cross county, and Marcus A. Green appointed postmaster. D. F. $. Galloway, a large retail gro cer of Little Rock, made an assignment. Assets, s, 900; liabilities, 6 800. The merchandise store of Wood & See at Warsaw, Pulaski county, was
 broken into and sS5 in stamps stolen. Berry Davis, white, an inmate of the insane asylum from Pope county, re- gently escaped from that institution.
 A sawmill boiler at Monroe City, be. low Pine Bluff, blew up, killing the en. gineer and badly scalding four colored labOrerS.
 A new city directory just completed for Little Rock places the population oi that city at A ,04S, gain of nearly 3, 3,00C in two years.
 Bunk Sullenberger, a brakeman on the Iron Mountain, was knocked off the front end of a eaboose and run over and killed near Gurdon.
 While engaged in a wrestling match near Marvinville, F. Farmer bursted a blood vessel, death resulting after three days intense suffering. The Commercial League of Fort Smith want the state board of railroad con struction to locate and build line from | that city to Harrison, Boone county.
 Jess and Bert Alison have been jailed at Clarksville, charged with seriously cutting another young man named Blevins at Spadra short time ago

Looks Like a Double Murdar

The remains of Lem Harper and Geo. Tucker, of Huntsville, Madison county. were found near the railroad track i. short distance from Seligman recently. The skulls of both young men had been crushed, but whether by accident or not could not be determined. They left home, presumably to go to Kan sas City, a few days previous to the discovery of their fate, and were last seen alive at the depot at Washburn in company with two strangers. But very little blood could be seen on the ground where the bodies lay, and their clothing was muddy, but no mud was near the bodies, from which circumstance it is believed they were murdered at some other point and their bodies carried and left by the track in order to creats the impression that they were killed while attempting to beat their way on a train. Both were about 20 years of age. and Tucker was a student of the Arkansas Industrial University.

-------------T ------ WASHING A FINE ART.

Washing pretty summer gowns and belongings is fine art, very easy to learn. A bright day, plenty of water and little pure soap are the necessary aids in the work. To do it, fill a tub two-thirds full of warm water. dissolve cake of Ivory soap (which will not fade the most delicate colors), add it to the water, wash the garments care- fully through it; rinse first in clear wa ter, then in bluewater; wiring, dip in thin starch; hang on the line in the shade. When dry sprinkle and iron on the wrong side. Gowns thus laun- dered will look fresh for the entire summer.

MT. J. H. Bouslog, treasurer of the proposed Springfield, Little Rock and Gulf railroad, who is now in Little Rock on business connected with the road in recent interview with Democrat reporter, said: You may say to the people positively that work will begin on the road by December 26, the time designated by the Smith bill, or even earlier. Even before that bill was passed our road had been located from Springfield to the Missouri line, and the intermediate territory is so familiar to our engineers that the Arkansas line IS practically located. All our lands have been selected and listed, and we are now proceeding to prosecute suits for confirmation of titles in each of the 4S countless

 Louisiana in 1903 included almost the whole region between the Mississippi and the Rocky mountains. 1t had been ceded by France to Spain in 17G2. Spain wished to deny to our people the right to navigate the great river that formed our western boundary, and the people west of the Alleghanies wished our gov ernment to seize the whole of Louisiana. In 1900 Louisiana was ceded back to France. In 1903 two commissioners were sent to France by President lief ferson. with instructions to buy for the United States, if possible, part of Louisiana, including New Orleans and the mouths of the Mississippi.
