PINE BLUFF. ARK, JAN. 2s, 1899
A Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
 Editor.

Wicked Jimmy Adams of the Pine Bluff Graphic, has made the discoy- cry that Uncle Charley Newman of the Pine Bluff Commercial is a reg ular Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of an editor It seems that Uncle Char ley has pretended for some years to be in bad health, and has taken in numerable trips to distant parts for the purpose of building up his wasted tissues and enriching bis at tenuated blood. It1now transpires that upon these occasions Uncle Charley has been in tke habit of visiting the city of Albany, New York, where al unknown to his Arkansas friends, he-owns a news. paper property known as the AL bany Times-Union. While in Al bany Unele Charley would devote his time to the preparation of mum erous editorials upon divers sub jects, confning them, however, largely to ethical and philosophical questions Of worldwide interest h the preparation of these editorials Uncle Charley has shown remark able aptitude for deep research, and his conclusions have almost invari- ably been in accord with the most correct thought of the era. Natur- ally, when he had returned to Ar kansas, Uncle Charley, after the manner and practice of the itinerant preacher, reproduced few of these dissertations in his Pine Bluff pa per, much to the edifcation of his friends and readers. Now, mark the wickedness of Jimmy Adams. A copy of the Times Union falling in- to his hands, he immediately repro duees au article therein which also appeared in the Commercial, and proclaims that he has discovered a great mares nest, just as if Uncle Charley didn't have the right to re- produce his own work in as many publications as he controlled. Un
 less Jimmy Adams can prove that Uncle Charley copyrighted his work for the Times-Union and did not re- lease it in favor of the Commercial, he might as we'll admit he has dug up more snakes than he can take care of. If Jimmy can impeach Un
 cle CharleY's wisdom, or prove he doesn't own and edit the Times Uu- ton, then we will take some stock Tn his campaign against him. Until then we refuse to gloat single gloat. Helena World

A SMALL FORTUNE PAID FOR A BEAUTIFUL
 CARNATION.
S3O,0OO THE AMOUNT
Which Thomas F. Lawson Paid the Owner Other "FlOWef
 News.

"A dispatch from Boston an- nounces that the famous Lawson canatlon, which has been the won der of florists all over the country, has been purchased for $30,000 by Thomas r, Lawson conditioned that 1t bloom in public gardens of the Hub and that it receive the name of the purchasers wife, Says the Fort Smith News Record.
 That a single carnation plant should bring such price has aston ished the world, and the attention of the world has been attracted to the wonderful flower, and the methods of it's production. In a conversation had with Arthur G. Lee, who recently embarked in the seed business, in this city, concern ing the new variety of carnation he said:
 I am not conversant with the manner in which tbeese new variety of plants are produced, but I know with reference to seed that if you plant, say, one species of peas and another species of peas and another species of peas and another species in the next row, that there will ka produced what is known as 'spari which will produce an entirelf ferent variety of peas. Those 53 raise for seed have to be very @re- full to pick those sports wLiIe ahe plant is in bloom in order that the variety of seed may remain distinct. One theory of the production of sports is that the blooms of the different varieties inoculate one another and produce. an entirely different variety l know nothing of the Lawson carnation, but pre- sume it was produced in much the same way. New varieties of vege- tables come through that process, and the new varieties are given the name of sports until that particu- lar seed is planted, when it is given specific name, In Toledo, Ohio, there is a gardner who found Sports among his watermelon seeds. He planted them and they promised a melon, the like of which was un- known to any one, and of such deli cacy of flavor that people went out to bis farm in great numbers to get the fruit. Now he is raising seed of that variety and putting it on the market. Thareis no accounting for the freaks of nature, and yet, when you come to look into the matter, we find that nature worKs according to fixed laws"
 "There is nothing very strange about the price paid for that flower, j said A, A. Pantet, the well known florist and gardner. "Thcre is a standing offer of $40, 900 to any flor ist who W produce perpetual blooming yellow rose that will thrive In the eastern climate. So far as this carnation is concerned, it will in time furnish many slips that will command good prices, and thus the money in seed will return good profit. I have no idea what this carnatiou is like, but it must be something very handsome"

FOR THE GRIP
Hot Lemonade Recommended AS a
 Valuable Remedy.

Charles T, Hirzel, of Brooklyn, writes to the Kansas City Star of the value of lemons in the cases of influenza or lagrippe. The remedy is so simple and harmless that it is certainly worth a trial in such cases, and we reprint it for the ben eft of our readers
 It may interest the public in general to know that during the great influenza epidemic in London in 1889 the board of health of that city advised the public to make an abundant use of hot lemonade. The precipitation caused thereby is suf- eclent to relieve the patient in most cases of severe colds and saves him from taking refuge in quinine and other drugs, which often leave un- pleasant results.
 In bronchial troubles the acids of the lemons relieve the irritation in the throat, acting at the same time as a natural disinfectand
 Fresh lemon juice, even when di- luted in small proportions with water, will kill the therein con tained cholera bacillus; hence it is not surprising that it will also de- stroy the so-ca1led influenza bacill- nc

LAUNCHING THE LIFE-B0AT.

There are greater dangers than those of Ehe angry sea. That dread disease-cons sumption kills more men and women in generation than the sea has swallowed up since the earliest history of navigation.
 There is a sure and safe life-boat ever ready to be launched for men and women who suffer from this merciless destroyer. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Diseov- cry. It cures oS per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, laryn- gitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood and throat and nasal troubles. It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. It soothes and heals the mucous membranes of the lungs, bronchial tubes. throat and nasal cavities. It restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and as. simiiation perfect, invigorates the liver, and purifies and enriches the blood. 1t fills the blood with the life-giving elements of the food that build new and healthy tisSues. It tears down, carries off and excTefes the diseased and half dead tissues upon which the germs of consumption thrive. 1t checks the cough and facilitates expectoration until the lungs are thor oughly cleared. IL IS the great blood maker and Aesh-builder. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not build fabby flesh, but the firm, muscular tissues of health. It does not make corpulent people more eorpulent. Thousands have testified to their cure under this great medicine after they were given up by the doctors, md all hope was gone.
