HEA I DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
 INCREASE or HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look Tor the
 Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among the A mericaHs, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Ameri- can business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, Of poor digestion.
 Real organic disease is incurabIe: but not one ease in hundred of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion Is be- cause both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, tie Sympa- thetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way, also the heart ia effected by the form of poor diges- tiOn, which causes gas and fermenta- tion from half digested food. There is q feeling of oppression Eand heavi- ness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering awith t1eir actien; hence arises palpitation and shoit breath.
 Poor digestion also p0isons the blood makinzs 1t thin and watery, which irIitates and Weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the di- gestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 TT can he done by the regular use after meals "fsome safe, pleasant and effective digestive prepara ton, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valuable, harmless digestive clements in u pleasant, cor venient form.
 1t Is safe to say that the regular persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except can cer of the stomach.
 Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, Mar shall, Mich.

Memphis, Feb PA special to the Commercial Appeal from Hernando, Miss, says:
 Robert Campbell, deputy sheriff, shot and instantly killedl Lewis Norvall iu 9 court room here today, while the court was in session.

The negro Lhttlefeld nave never been captured and Foster is in Arkansas, the gov- ernor of that State having refused to grant requisition papers for his return to Mississippi.
 After the shooting today Judge Stevens immediately adjourned court and Campbell was arrested and jailed.

 Penitentary.

Memphis, Feb. 23.-Wednesday morning, A. K. Ward, who gained a national reputation because of his troubles and trials in the courts of this county, was found guilty of ut terlng and passing forged paper and sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary as punishment for the crime.
 Ward is already under sentence of three years In the penitentiary for forgery.
 The first conviction occurred some months ago.
 Every resident of the South is familiar with the Ward trials Tn the Criminal Court. They have been long and tiresome and have con- sumed time and labor. Attorney General Patterson has been most energetic in his prosecution of Ward and it was not until several mis- trials had occurred that he succeeded in conyicting the prisoner. After the first convection the Attorney General did not stop, but proceeded to prosecute another indictment, t, and the prosecution may even ex- tend further, but it is not thought that it will.

AND THEIR GUESTS HAVE A MOST PLEASANT
 EVENING.
A MOST DECIDED SUCCESS
Was the Verdict of Those Present. Eloquent Speeches By We'll
 Known Men.

Wednesday evening, February P, 1899, will long be pleasantly and most happily remembered by the Elks of our city, their wives, sisters 1and sweetnearts, and any other of the fortunate mortals who partook of the hospitality of the Brother hood of Elks at their new hall last evening.
 In previous issues we have en- deayored to faintly picture how the hall was decorated but as the guests assembled at an early hour and were ushered into the room the exclama- tions of astonishment mingled with delight that were uttered by all was 8 positive proof that the pains and taste exercised in the adornment of their quarters were noted and ap pseciated. And, iadeed, the flags ard flowers ere s0 artistically ar ranged as to elicit praises from any one. Bunting was everywhere. By eight o'clock fully 300 of our most representative men ana wom- en had assembled and were comfort ably seated in the spacious ball.
 Exalted Ru.er 6. G. Newman in a few well chosen wm ds O welcome made everyone feel perfectly at home, after which Chaplain w. D. Baekner delivered a most impress sive prayer.
 A quartette composed of Messrs. Benton, Barlow, Huntley and Wright sang several sweet solos. which were loudly applauded.
 Arthur Meblinger, in his cute musical monoloxuo, was forced to respond 10 an enchore.
 Grand Exalted Ruler T. E. Web Der delivered the star speech of the evening. He is a forcible and i'm pressiye talker. He complimented the Pine Bluff Lodge of Elks on their progressiveness, and spoke very warmly of the lovely ladies who graced the occasf ion.
 Ex Governor Jas. P. Clark was then called on and gracefully re- sponded.
 The Secretary was then requested sto read the letters of congratulations from Adolphus Bush, the brewer, and Roland Reed, the king of &C., tors.
 Mr. Braun, of St. Louis, then made a short talk.
 A brief recess was taken during which committee passed refresh ments. Following is the menu:

The Daily Texarkanian., 1899-07-20

The politicians are doing their
utmost to dethrone W. j. Bryan
from the affections of the people;
carefully prepared interviews are
given out by these men to the
effect that the crisis demands a
new leader. These men would do
themselves greater credit if they
did not spend so much time trying
to upset the prevailing opinion of
the voters that Bryan is to lead
the democratic hosts in 1900.
What should call more loudly for
his nomination than the supreme
place he holds in the hearts of the
host of democratic voters in every
section of the union? Who shall
furnish the votes to elect the nomi-
nee, these plain laboring demo
Gratis, or the bosses; the demo-
cratic party ought never to win a
victory after it ceases to regard
the common people as its chief sup
port. Down with any politician
who would scheme to set aside the
known and prevailing sentiment of
his party by trickery and fraud.

PENSIONS

Granting, as the Courier esti-
mates, that the roll of pensioners
will be increased to lO,0u0, aud
that the yearly allowance to each
should be 500, or $3.50 per month,
we desire TO call the attention OF
the public to the sum required to
meet this condition; 10000 pension
ers at $50 per year each, would re-
qsire yearly expenditure OF
5000. 600. If the Uuited States
government should adopt as liberal
a policy toward the Federal soldiers,
its expenditure would be approx
mately $3OO,OOO,OOO per aunum;
the Courier is noted for its ability
to be on all sides of the various po
litical questions that agitate the
public mind, if d few months time is
given in which to change its skin,
but we never dreamed that IL
would outstrip the United States
commissioners of pensions in its
liberality for the old soldier.
Demagogy has grown aud
hourished iu the northern states in
this pension soil, and it seems that
the South is to have the same re-
peated by its demagogues; for this
is one of the best subjects for the
developing of mountebanks.
There should be great care eXer-
cised in this matter before it goes
so far that the state would be EN-
barassed to be compelled to re.
trench upon these pension expend-
itures.
