 The commander of the Maine, Capt. Sigsbee, is a favorite in the navy de- partment. For four years he was chief of the Photographic office and by his energy brought the office up to high standard. He was lucky to get so important ship as the Maine, considering his actual rank. which is that of commander, but he immediately justified the depart ment's judgment in the selection by running his ship straight into dock in New York harbor to avoid run hing down packed excursion boat. This was q display of quick iudg- ment, nerve and pluck that pleased the department so highly that the captain was sent complimentary letter.

FIGHTING THE BOYCOTT.
The Pittsburg & Gulf Road Secures a Restraining Order Against
 the Frisco.

KANSAS CIrY, Feb. 15.-The Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad has secured through Judge Phillips, of the United States circuit court, an order restraining the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railway from enforcingits boycott that was to have gone into effect today. The order will be effective until the 18th inst. This is the first legal step taken by the Pittsburg and Gulf to fight the southwestern roads who gave notice recently that they would refuse to accept or deliver freight to the com plainant road at Texas points be- cause of it's refusal to enter the Southwestern Traffic bureau. Each of the eleven railroad and steamship lines who announced the boycott gave the Pittsburg and Gulf road from ten to thirty days notice. The Santa Fes limit was the first to ex- pire. The same action will, it is said, be taken against these roads as their time limit expires and an attempt to enforce the boycott is made.

SPURIOUS DOLLARS.
THE BEST TEMPTATION EVER
 SEEN.
The Counterfeit Coin Resembles the Genuine so closely as to
 Almost Defy Detection.

Some party or parties have been Showing the queer', in this city, says the Hot Springs Neaos, the past day or so with rapidity and dexterity that has completely con- founded some of it's victims. The bogus money is the most perfect imitation of the silver dollar that has ever come to our notice, and we advise all to look out sharply for the fraud, as it would "pass" with out danger of detection from any one save q bank teller or an expert money changer.
 The merchant who had been vic- timized asked several to change the money and afterwards told them of it's character, but they insisted on him keeping the change and ridi- culed the idea of it being anything else but genuine.
 The counterfeit coin has the me- talie ring similar to the genuine, and in fact is fac simile with the ex- eeption of weight, being just frac- ton lighter, and unnoticable to the unsnspeeting.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Negro Girl Became fingered at Her Mother and Tried to Destroy
 Herself.

Julia Johnson, q negro girl about 20 years old, tried 10 commit suicide Monday night. She is the daughter of Hattie Brady. Julia became an gered at the treatment her mother gave her, as her whims were not humored. She toek poison Monday night with suicidal intent. She was discovered before the effects of the poison became fatal and was restor- ed by the physicians aid.
 She is still quite sick. No doubt in future she will follow without a murmur the precepts of her moth CTS wisdom, as she did not find the expected comfort in being martyr to a parents stern rule; nor did she find committing suicide "what it's cracked up to be.

DR. WURTH's OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDt
 CINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy fol Dyspepsia, Indigestion and stom-
 aeh Troubles.

Dr. Wurth, in commenting on re- cent discoveries in medicine, said :: There is none which is certain to be so valuable and far reaching in bene- fit as Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets, the new stomach remedy; 1 say far reaching, because people little realize how important Il sound stomach and vigorous digestion is to every man, woman and child.
 Indigestion is the starting point of consumption, heart disease, Bright's disease, diabetes, nervous prOstra- tion, liver troubles; why is this SO? Simply because every nerve, muscle and tissue in our bodies is created and nourished from the food we eat. If that food is, by reason of q weak stomach, compelled to lie for hours, sour. fermenting mass of half di- gested food, it poisons the blood and nervous system, creates gas which distends the stomach and bowels, causing pressure on the heart, lungs and other organs and seriously inn peding their action.
 He says further, the point to direct atten tion is not the nerves, nor heart, nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the STOMACH, the first cause of all the mischief.
 The remedy to use for indigestion and weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but n remedy which will digest the food, increase the flow of gastric juice, absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will ac- complish exactly this result in any case of stomach trouble, because these tablets arc composed of the di- gestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleasant to taste, and not being patent medicine, can he used by anyone with perfect safe ty, I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets will cure any form of indigestion and stomach trouble except cancer of stomach.
 Full size packages of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 30 cents. A book on stomach dis eases together with thousands of testimonials will be sent by address Ing Stuart Co.,. NJ arshall, Mich.

SOUTH COMMON,
IS A VALUABLE STRIP OF LAND LYING ALONG THE VALLEY
 ROAD.
Right of Possession of This Properly
 to be Settled in the Courts.

A civil case is being tried in the Chancery Court today wherein the heirs of Thomas s. James, deceased, and of James Yell, deceased, are suing the Iron Mountain road and the City of Pine Bluff for the right of possession to strip of property lying along the Iron Noun tain road. The property is called South Com mon and lies North of the railroad from Chestnut street running Eas t halt mile. It is 120 feet wide at Chestnut street and 60 feet wide at the eastern extr entity. Being in the business part of the city it is very valuable. This property be- longed to Dawson, Chowning and Pinckard, the originel owners of the town. In the 40's they sold a large lot of the old town to Messrs James & Yell, the deed also conveying "abbutting property. In 1890 the heirs of Messrs. James & Yell brought suit against the railway company and the city to recover the property. The case is very com plicated, and the majority of the lawyers in town are interested in the suit, representing either the principals or adjoining property omnarc

CERVERA MAY STAY HERE.
Spanish Admiral Now Prisoner at Annap-
oils Likely to Become Citizen of
the United States.

New York, July 2l.-It comes from q
very reliable source that Admiral Ger
vera will renounce his allegiance to
Spain and become citizen of the
United States. Admiral Cervera, it Is
said, has come to this conclusion for
various reasons, the principal one be-
ing that he is convinced the Spanish
government will order a court-martial
to try him for losing his ships off Santi-
ago. The report that Gen. Toral is to be
court-martialed for surrendering at
Santiago only strengthens Cervera's
conviction in this regard, and while
he acted strictly under orders in run.
ming out of Santiago bay and put up a
courageous and noble fight, he is
convinced that his government is
ready and willing to sacrifice any
officer of the army or navy to recon-
cile the public in a degree to the rap
idly following disasters. Cervera
cites the cases of Admiral Monteio,
who did such splendid battle to Dewey
at Manila and whom the Spaniards
will order court-martialed, as we'll as
the commander of the revenue cutter
which surrendered to Dewey after be-
ing fire upon, and when there was no
chance of escape. The latter was
court-martialed and shot. Now comes
the case of Toral, and Cervera is con-
tident that he is to be the next victim.

READY TO TAKE HIS GALL.
The Surprising Offer Of n BanlkruDt's
sOulless Creditor ut an As
signment Meeting.

Not long ago a substantial looking New
Yorker came to Chicago to engage in the re-
tail cigar business, He had seemingly good
credentials and rented an attractive little
store on the North side, buying his fixtures
on credit. On the same terms he laid in quite
a large stock of goods and opened his doors
for patronage. He seemed to be doing quite
good business and none of his numerous
creditors manifested the least alarm as to
the safety of their accounts. Suddenly he
made an assignment. His creditors were
notified and full meeting was held in the
Office of his attorney, the sorrowful bank
rupt not being present with them.
The attorney made polite and pacific
speech. An eastern creditor, who had Sc
cured judgment on a fraudulent claim, had
attached and carried away everything ex.
cept go cigars and $6.30in money. The un.
fortunate debtor owed over SO, 900 to the men
present, which he would liquidate at the
earliest possible moment.
"My client suffers far more acutely than
any of you" continued the lawyer Gle

not much, it is true, but trust it will serve
as an earnest of his future intentions He

doubt in administration circles of the
