An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

A KILLING AT COVE.
Landlord Durham Kills Young Man
 For Slanderlng His Daughter.

A travelling man up from Cove, seven teen miles south of this city on the Pittsburg & Gulf, late Tuesday night reports that just pricr to his leaving that place Mir. Durham, the landlord at Cove shot and killed young man who had been staying with him.
 It appears that trouble had been brewing between the two men all day, Mir. Durham declaring that the young man had slandered his fourteen year old daughter, and he gave the young man notice to leave the place within a certain number of hours or he Dur ham-would kill him. The young man, whose name the Star is unable to learn, did not heed the warning. and when the time was up Durham made his word good and promptly killed him.
 Sheriff R. W. Johnson was at Hat. field and was wired to come and bring coroner, but no other particulars are obtainable at the court house or sheriff's office here.

Gathered by the wayside.

A correspondent travelling overland from Mena to Hot Springs sends the following:
 After passing over eighteen miles of country in the direction of Hot Springs find that most of the farms are in a prosperous condition. There is fact very noticeable, that where land is carefully titled the results are in- variably good. This is especially noticeable in corn fields-on one side of the road there will be a fine crop of corn and on the other there is nothing but mulberries.
 So far we have found little or no fruit, but all orchards are in good con- dltion except few which have had no care. In a conversation with Mrs. Standridge she pointed out to us a magnificent apple tree which is twenty nine years old, measuring forty-two inches around the trunk, and shades a spot ninety feet in circumference The tree las not dead limb upon it. and has produced twenty-five bushels of marketable apples in one season.
 AT BLACK SPRINGS
 The condition oi rops around Black Springs is very poo, 10 rain having fell in four weeks.
 MT. Rowton, the pr, 9rietor of the Travellers Home, talked with us for some time regarding what the farmers thought of Mena. 400 bales of cotton were ginned in Black Springs, 300 of which came to Mena. Cotton will start to Mena this fall, but unless they can get dry goods as cheap as they can in Hot Springs they will take their trade the other way. Groceries are cheaper in Mena but dry goods are higher than they are in Hot Springs

A JUMP FOR HIS LIFE.
Dreams lie Is on Bridge and Jumps
 From His Hotel Window.

John Pearson, a brdgeman working On the Pittsburg & Gulf Railway. and stopping at the Clark hotel, had a strange experience resulting in a bad accident last Sunday. He had been at work recently on a high trestle south of Mena and says that during the night he dreamed he was at work and saw train coming and heard the foreman order him to jump
 The first Mir. Pearson knew after this he was laying on the walk in front of the hotel and directly after some persons coming in late found him and helped him back to his room. pr. Davls, the division surgeon. was called and found Mir Pearson's left shoulder and one bone of the left arm below the elbow broken.
 MT. Pearson says he is subject to similar dreams, having only recently found himself sitting across the sill of his open window after dreaming that he had crawled out of river upon a log, thinking in his dream that the window sill was log. Mir. Pearson will go to Kansas City tonight for hospital treatment.

Good Copper Result.
TRAvELER.

As mentioned in the Star recently, MT. w. l. Boyer and MT. Il. J. Rad cliffe, who are driving tunnel into a mountain near the shelter, struck what looked to be good copper bear ing ore at depth of hfty-seven feet, and an assay was made which showed the existence of that metal. Worh was continued, and the tunnel is now about sixty eight feet, and test was made Tuesday which showed more copper than any prospect in the county that has been assayed. Prof. Soest, the chemist at the Durham & Batson assay office showed the ore tested was and 57 i00 per cent copper with u trace of gold This is equivalent to about slo50 in copper and sl.5O to g. in gold per ton, Work will be continued, and it is believed that the deeper the tunnel IS driven the better the rock will be.
