If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish 1t, put fifteen or twenty drops oI Scott s Emulsion in its bottle three or four times day and you will see a marked change.
 We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other food fails to nouriSh them.
 It IS the same with larger children that are delicate. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try t Ii your children do not thrive. It IS as useful for them in summer as in winter.

HORSE THIEVES CAUGHT.
Kun Down By the Sheriff Whose
 Horses They Stole.

Sunday afternoon Sheriff Tackett of Montgomery county came riding into town from the east with two horse thieves securely handcuffed and under arrest The horses they stole be- longed to him and were taken from his place at Mt Ida last Saturday night.
 The men, who refuse to give their names, are without doubt the same parties Marshall Hill has been watch ing for, and who are wanted at Hot Springs for horse stealing. Sheriff Tackett did not know of this until he arrived with them in Mena. Monday he left with his prisoners for Mt Ida where they will probably be held for their last stealing instead of being sent to Hot Springs.

LITIGATION OVER BOND sUB-
SCRIPTION,

Washington, Sept, 3O.--Two manda- mus cases were filed to-day in the su- preme court of the District of Columbia against Secretary of State Gage, grow ing out of the issue of bonds to carry on the war In the first case, William Fl. Wharton of Jersey City sets up that he was subscriber for $52O of the bonds. He empowered the Produce Exchange company to make the neces- sary advancements on the bonds, hold ing them as collateral. Thereafter, Secretary Gage refused to make this allotment of bonds on the grounds that the subscription was not bona fide but was made in the interest of third party. The second suit is instituted by George B, Whitman and seeks to re- strain Secretary Gage from setting aside many bids. The court fixed the hearing for October IA.
