Absolutely pure is the claim made
in every advertisement of the Royal
Baking Powder and absolutely pure
is the verdict of every housekeeper in
the land using the Royal. 1t is the
standard among baking powders,
worth the price sold at, because of it's
purity, healthful ead-making quail
ties and the strength that makes
small quantity go a long way. No
trouble about delicious biscuit and
pastry when the Royal is used.
The Accident Creamery Co., formed
at Accident during the past two or
three months, have completed the
building. The machinery has all
been put in and satisfactorily tested.
AS soon as q few necessary appliances
have been fitted the plant will be put
in operation. Mr. John E. Gnagey is
the uperintendent, with DR.. Raven
scroft, VIM. Englehart, Mahlon Glot-
felty, Henry Georg and VIM. Lohr,
directors.
There is q possibility that Accident
will have a roller process mill. a
practical miller recently visited this
place and was delighted with the sit
uation, and the farming prospects of
this beautiful valley. Our farmers
are ready to render material aid to
the gentleman, and that earnest and
wide awake business man, J. E. Gna-
gey, is doing everything he can to
help on the enterprise and if he can
induce this gentleman to locate the
mill at Accident he viii do so.-Moun-

1t should be remembered that every
newspaper treasures up in it's memory
the names of its friends and likewise
Of its enemies. 1t seldom if ever over
looks an opportunity to assist the for
mer, but never goes out of it's way to
boost the latter. Human nature is
pretty much the same everywhere.
People who show the newspaper men
kindness never make a better invest
ment OF one that more surely pays
them a hundred fold sooner or later.
May fire and tempest destroy our
abiding place and robbers carry away
our substance; may plaques reduce
our frame and Jersey 'skeeters suck
our blood; may our cattle perish in a
blizzard and our mules fall into a fit;

and the doctor fill us with calomel;
may our daughters run away with
book agents and our sons be sent to
the Legislature. Suffer all these
things to come upon me, but 0, Lord.

Contract to Extend Their Road to
Swallow Falls.
Messrs. A. Knabb & Co., who oper-
ate extensive stave and barrel mills
at hrug. a few miles south of Friends
vile, in this county, have given out
the contract to extend their narrow
guage railroad from Hoyes Run to
Swallow Falls, about seven miles wesy
of Oakland. Knabb & Co.'s road
connects with the Confluence and
Oakland Railroad at Krug and runs
from the latter point to Hoyes Run,
which is about fourteen miles north
west of Oakland. 1t is the intention
of this company to place passenger
coaches on the road next spring and
open it to traffic as far as Swallow
Falls. At that point a stage coach
will be placed on the road to convey
the passengers to Oakland Oakland
will have a direct railroad communi-
cation with the city of Pittsburg,
which will shorten the distance be-
tween the two places about sixty
miles, and which will be a great ad-
vantage to people from that city who
desire to come either to Oakland, IA
Lake or Deer Park to spend the sum
mer season. The time will be short
ened to about seven hours instead of
ten. This road will eventually be
completed to Oakland, and then it
will bring into market some of the
most valuable timber and mineral
rights to be found in Garrett county

Prince Bismarck is Dead.

This "strong man" of his race passed away at Friedrichsruhe g little before II o'clock on Satur- day night of July the 3Oth 98 at the advanced age of 83 years.
 Prince Karl Otto Won Bismark Schoenhausen was born at Schoen- hausen, Prussia April 1st 1915.
 Young Bismarck was sent to school in Berlin at the age of ( years. Here his ambition was aroused by finding himself in a class of boys younger than hlm- self. He applied himself dili- gently and was soon promoted to class of seniors. He was g great lover of athletics, and was also very puguastlc, having com bats with hls playmates almost daily. Yet his good behavior and studious habits in the schoolroom made him . favorite with his tutors. His university education was obtained at Gottingen while here he fought 27 duels, and received one scar which he carried for life. After graduati on he practiced law in Berlin, and afterward obtained his military education by serving in the Prussian army. His public career began at the age of 31.
 His life purpose was to unify the detached German states and bind them under the authority of the imperial scepter. He al lowed nothing of any nature tc come between him and his pur. pose. He was first a member o1 the Provincial Diet of Saxony and one year later went into tht Prussian Diet. During his life ht served as Prussian and French Ambassador and almost every high office in his Government His life was somewhat turbulen and extremely active.

CLARENDON ASSASSINATION
Jno. T. Orr, the Hardware man, Meets Death at the Hands
 of an Assassin.

l One sof the most mysterious crimes ever committed i'll the state was the assassination of Jno. T. Orr, the we'll known hardware merchant and bicycle rider, at his home i'll Clarendon last Saturday night between 9 and 9:30 o'clock. i MT. Orr who is a member of the Methodist church and choir, had been out to choir practice and re- turning found his wife and little daughter in bed sleep. He went into another room to get some ice to make him a lemonade before retiring. While in this act the assassin shot him, using shot gun loaded with buckshot, and shooting through the open tho screened window. Only one of ! the buckshot struck MT. Orr but 1 that entered his forehead directly over the right eye and was imbed- ed ill his brain. After the shock the victim regalned consciousness Hong enough to say that he had Ut the slightest knowledge of having an enemy anywhere. The alarm was given at once and a telegram sent to Pine Bluff for blood hounds and for Sheriff Jackson who had gone up to Brinkley to spend Sunday with friends. On acconntof the intervening rain it was impossible for the blood hounds to trail and thus it was made plain that the designing assassin had laid well his plans in selecting Q time when the ele- ments favored his crime. No cleW whatsoever has been secured, and in all probability the. assassin will never be known. Mir. Orr finger ed until Sunday afternoon when he died of his wound. MT. Orr was a member of the K. of F. H which order he carried insurance
 He formerly lived in Batesvillt 1 and was a versatile comedian and actor, theatrical manager, tinnel mechanic, bicyclist and sprinter holding a ten-second record fo1 100 yards. He also held the l Monroe county bicycle champion ship, and was to ride a race in this city on Aug. 25th, with Horner Folbre of Forrest City. Mir. Orr was a clever and agreeble gentleman we'll liked by a large acquaintance and was not known to have an enemy It is needless 1 to say that every person in this section will live in hopes of the diligence of the officers being rewarded, and the cold blooded assassin being made to pay ths severest penalty for his heinous crime.
