THE NEIF CHANLERi lIS.
 7f2IC7.


 The Bosoo, published at Rison, Cleveland county. one Of tue counties proposed for the new Fourth Chancery District, bill for which is now pending in the State Senate, does nos take kindly to the measure. It says:
 Senator Grace, of Jefferson county has introduced d bill lu the Leglss lature to create the Fourth Chanc- cry District composed Of the count ies of JefIerson, Lincoln and Cleve- land.
 We are opposed to the bill for the simple reason Cleveland county don't want 1t aud don't need 1t. Her financial condition k not such as to stand an additional court and her business does not justify 1t. If Jefferson county Wauts an addition al court let her take on some other county aud leave Cleveland out. We hope oar Senator and Repre- sentative will see that Cleveland county is stricken out os the bill.
 There is utterly no excuse for the proposed new Fourth Chancery District composed Of the counties above mentioned The people of Jefferson county do not want it, a majority of the Pine Bluff Bar Associaticn dc not want it. Jeifer son county is already in Chaneerv district and the present Chancellor is satisfactory, except to pos. sible few. The new district would serve no public purpose in this county and woeld only entail ad- ditional eX pens upon sh people It has all tue appearances e a shrewd politieal scheme to oust the present Chancellor from this district and create place for somebody else It was truly designated by a mem Der of the local bar yesterday when he characterized 1t IS place mak ing scheme. . That's just about what it is. There is neither public necessity nor public demand for it, and the solons wili subscrve the interests of economy if the Legis- lature shal! refuse to pass il.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benehcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of a laxative, then 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.

ARRIVAL OF COPTIC.
She Beats the Doric's Best Time
Heir TO Corean Throne on Board.

The o. and o. S. S. Coptic, Captain
Sealby, arrived bright and early this
morning from Yokohama, a whole day
ahead of her schedule time. She made
the run over i'm nine days, nine hours
and forty-tive minutes, beating the
Doric's best time by something over
half an hour, and establishing a new
O. and o. record. Had it not been for
the heavy current encountered as the
vessel neared the islands, Purser
Goodrich stated this morning. the
Coptic would probably, at the rate at
which she was going, have beaten the
China's best time of nine days and
six hours.
The Coptic brings but three cabin
passengers for this port. Mrs. r. G..
Spaulding and O. 2. Spaulding, and
Mr.. Myamoto, Japanese school tea
cher. The steerage list numbered 53s,
all Chinese. four of whom are local
merchants and were landed direct,
Wnlle I0e remainder went 10 the QUAR-
antine station. There are $50 tons of
freight for this port. 1t will be out
in time for the steamship to sail for
San Francisco by o'clock this even

Ii is essential 10 the well being of the

they do. the kidneys fail to secrete from
the blood the watery element and the
impurities that should be thrown off by
the bladder, and both organs suffer in

incur dangerous maladies. Among these
are Bright's disease OF the kidneys, dia-
betes. retention Of the urine, gravel,
dropsy. etc. These are no triies, but
obstinate diseases, developing rapidly
and terminating too often fatally. To
prevent or check them, the safest and
most effectual means is Hostetter's

| The sandman has his female counter
part. When a boy mods, it is Hermann
that has come; when a girl gets sleepy

Reapers who fail to rest for an hour at
midday are in danger of Il ragged fe-
male demon called Pshespolniza. She
comes with a sickle bound to a pole and
cuts off their heads. She seems to have
been sunstroke p~ersonitied, but is now,
like SerpowniZa, only Il bugbear used to
brighten children away from growing
crops.
Here in the Spreewald exist many of
the superstitions COMMON to Ireland and
Scotland-the c~hangeling, the whirl-
wind, will O. the wisp, kobold, lepre-
chawn and good little people generally.
