 l do now, even in my younger days l am naturally a robust man, but that stomach trouble, together with rheumatism, which atterward set in, were making fast inroad4 upon my health and 1 am satisfied that it would have been but a short time before my comrades would have been conducting the regulation funeral ceremonies over my re- mains, had l not chaneed to read of and taken Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 There are several others in the home who are taking these pills and are receiving great benefit" RICHARD DUNN. Subscribed and sworn to before me, this lst day of Nov, 1897.
 HENRY GIBSON, Notary Public. Sergeant Dunn is perfectly willing that anyone should write him in reference to his case provided stamp is enclosed for reply. All the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves are contained in a con densed form in Dr. Williams Pink Pils. They are also specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregular. ties and all forms of weakness. In men they cure cases arising from mental worry, over work or eYcesses of whatever nature.

FROM POVERTY TO WEALTH.
Father and Daughter, After n Separation of Twenty Years, Meet By Accident
 in a Hot Springs Hotel.

After a separation of 20 years, dur ing which time neither knew the where abouts of the other, wealthy New York banker and his daughter were re- united at Hot Springs last week. The story of fathers long search for his lost child, and her stuggles for existence all these years, is pathetic and inter- esting one. Years ago A. Hughes, q sturdy youth of Scotch parentage, read at the freside of his home in the old country of the wonders of the New World, and a few years later, being of age, sailed for America. Landing in New York, he soon procured employ
 ment, and by stret attention to duty was in few years advanced to a re-
 sponsible and lucrative position by his employers. Young Hughes was elated, as his salary was sufficient to enable him to keep a promise made to one across the sea before coming to this county. A letter with ample funds was dispatched, and in few short months, which seemed to the young lovers to lcnghthen into years, a beau tiful Scotch lassie stepped from a ship at New York harbor into the arms of her handsome sweetheart. They were mar rled aid their cup of happiness was filled 10 overfowing by Jhe birth to them of sweet baby girl. But it is the old. sad story of mans duplicity and woman's weakness. One day the wife met handsome stranger. who, by the arts born of Satan, poisoned her heart against the one who had proven himself so noble and true The faith less wife ran away with her new lover, taking the child with her. The broken hearted husband hunted in vain, but was unable to locate either his wife or child. The woman deserted her child in Chicago, where it was taken by a kind family and raised. When she grew to womanhood she was compelled to go out into the world and battle for living. Here is where she displayed the qualities inherited from her father For years she has worked in hotels and restaurants, attending strictly to her duties. She recently went to Hot Springs and secured place at leading hotel. MT. Hughes, after the disap- pearance of his wife and child, found solare only in hard work and amassed a fortune. He arrived at Hot Springs last week for the purpose of enjoying a season of rest. In passing through his hotel he was attracted by the beauty of the young lady who, upon inquiry, proved to be his lost child. Miss Hughes will, of course, accompany her father back to New York at the end of his visit, and her services are no longer available as hotel waitress.

Hanalers of the Queer Arrested.

Secret service officers arrested J. II.
 MeQuirk and James Coyin at TexarlS- ana n few days ago on the charge of counterfeiting, and found in their pos session s6,3l0 in counterfeit Sl0 silver certificates. The details of the capture are interesting. Operator Dickey, of the Little Rock district, received notice that a box had been shipped from Fair Oaks to Texarsana about which there was suspicion. The officer immediately went to Texarkana and examined the contents of the box, which he found contained the spurious certificates. He waited at the express office two days before any one came to claim the pack age, when McQuirk, giving the name of Covin, called for it. After he had taken the box into his possession Me Quirk was arrested. He acknowledged his name was not Covin, but informed the detective where Covin could be found, and in a few minutes the latter was also under arrest. The money was all ill sl0 bills, and is a poor counter felt 1t is believed the men captured are part of a gang that has been oper- ating in the rural districts of southern states for the past two or three years.

PATRIOTIC MEXICO.
Excursions Arranged From Arkansas and Texas on the Occasion of the Repub-
 lies National Holiday.

Of all that extensive empire which once acknowledged the authority of Spain in the new world no portion for interest and importance can be com pared with Mexico. Its variety of soil, climate and inexhaustible stores of min eral wealth are incompara In seen cry Mexico is grand and picturesque beyond example; and traces of it's ancient inhabitants still remain, show ing fl degree Of intelligence far surpass- ing that of other North American races The conquest and final independence of this great domain furnishes a thrilling story of adventure and romance, equal ing in interest any legend devised by Norman or Italian bard of chivalry.
 On the night of September 18th begins the national holidays of Mexico. Pres1- dent Diaz was born on September 18th, and the nations independence was de- clared on the l6th The two days are given up to celebrations, which, for extravaganza and pomp, outrival any festivities ever witnessed in the United States. In Mexico City alone there are usually a quarter of million of people in attendance, and from every city, town, hill and dale over the great re- public, one mighty shout issues from million freemen's throats, Viva Mexicol" "Viva el Presidente
 It is not importunate, therefore, on an occasion of this kind, that citizens of Arkansas and Texas-now more happy than ever that freedom reigns in our sister epublie-should be offered an opportunity to pay it friendly visit. Mir. D. J. Price, the ever thoughtful and clever passenger agent of the In ternational < Great Northern railroad, is given credit for planning an eXcur- sion to Mexico on this occasion, and the Iron Mountain Route, operating in con nection with the above line, will place tickets on sale from all principal sta tions in Arkansas, good going on Sep tember 9th, 10th and 11th. Tickets to Mexico City, limited to return 30 days from date, will be sold from points in Arkansas at the following rates: Little Rock, $37 25; Pine Bluff, s37.40; Fort Smith, S39; Russellville. S39; Conway, S3S : l5; Kenset, s3s 70; Philadelphia, S35 30 Tickets to Monterey or Saltillo will be sold from any of the above points at proportionately less rates; the return, however, being limited to use within ten days from date of sale. See local ticket agents for further particulars.

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularityis is a matter of importance in every woman's life. Much pain is, however, endured in the belief that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble.
 Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time.
 The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular per formance of natures function. The statement we print from Miss GER TRUDE SYKES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed in every city, town and hamlet in this country. Read what she says:
 DEAR Mas. PINKHAM:-I feel like a new person since following your ad vice, and think it is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies have done me. My troubles were pain ful menstruation and leucorrhna. I was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies l never had any faith in patent medi cines. l now wish to say that I never had anything do me so much good for painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound; also would say that your Sanative Wash has cured me of leucorrhna. I hope these few words may help suffering women."
 The present Mrs. Pinlham's expert ehce in treating female ills is unparaI- leled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia |. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as hundred thousand ailing women during single year.
 All suffering women are invited to write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for advice about their health.
