symptoms of female
troubles For relief they turn to the many
alcoholic stimulants, malt extracts and
other "compounds, so widely advertised
to cure the ailments of women. These
produce a false stimulation, and the suf-
ferer finds herself compelled to take more
and more as time passes, and soon becomes
an unwilling slave to strong drink. What
a weakly woman needs is DIR. P1erce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, which contains not a
grain of opium or single drop OF alcohol
or other dangerous stimulant. 1t acts
directly upon the womanly organs. stop,

having a wonderfully beneficial effect upon

do so by mail, addressing him at Buffalo,

The Gargons Head.

There is a great store of iron at Elizavetpol, but it is so heavily associ- ated with tltanium, and this is so ex- pensive to cast off, that it is not believ- ed it can be profltably worked. AFrench engineer who studied the Caucasus products, said that this ore is of so little value that mountains of it in the United States are considered worthless, and passed over by capital In order to work it at all, coke is necessary, and there is no eoking coal in the region. A Russian engineer, interested in de- veloping the country, says that a coal that will produce coke has been found at a place thirty yersts from Kotais, but this has yet to be demonstrated. Kotais, by the way, is the place to which the Argonauts came, and whence they brought back the Gorgon's head, with it's flaming eyes, its hair of snakes and its appearance of fearful ferocity, the whole being symbolical of the feYer-producing climate and fierce wild beasts which still render the locality one to be avoided. The coal which perhaps gave flame to the Gorgon's eyes, is in character something between Ignite and anthracite-a high grade of Ignite.

When Bismarck was Prussian Am bassador at Frankfort, an interesting incident occurred to him. At that mo- ment he lodged in the house of mer- chant who detested the Prussians. Bismarck asked the landlord to put a bell in his room. The latter replied that it was not in the house, and that if he wanted one he would have to put it up himself. A few days after the whole house was suddenly aroused by a pistol shot fired in the room. The landlord rushed into the apartment out of breath and found the ambassa- dor quietly smoking a large pipe, seat ed in front of pile of documents. On the table was the pistol which he had just fired.

Bombardment statistics.

Here are some official statistics to prove that bombardment is not such a terrible thing after all In 1870-71 the bombardment of Belfort lasted seyenty-three days, during which 99,- 453 projectiles fell within the city, and there were but sixty victims killed or fatally wounded At Strasburg, dur ing the siege of thirty-eight days. the Germans fired upon the city, mostly at close range, 193.7 shells, with a rec ord of only 300 victims. Finally, at Paris, where the bombardment lasted only twenty-three days, 10000 siege shells were thrown, killing and wound ing 107# persons.

 And so would the Graphic. There also needs to be some "equalizing" along these lines. For instance, why should the Governor receive a salary of only s3,000 year, and the Sheriffs of Jefferson, Garland and Pulaski counties make from SIC, ,O00 to $l5,000 a year in fees out of thelr offices. Increase the salary of the Governor and al. other State officers and reduce the income from the big county offices in the big counties oi the State.

The ratio of men killed to the amount of whiskey drank in the "16 to 1" saloon at Texarkana is rapidly increasing. It is said that three men have been recently killed in that saloon. The "16 to 1" dram shop must dispense a mighty mean quality of liquids. The good people of Texarkana owe it to their good name and reputation to abolish sa- loon of so bad a character.

Over in Tennessee the Legislature is making an effort to abolish use less State offices, and here in Arkan- sas the Legislature is making an eff fort to reduce emoluments of county offices by placing the officers on a saIaried list.

Editor Democrat-Sta

Editor Democrat-Star.
In reading carefully the decision of
Judge Thomas j. Duggin in the de.
murrer fer VIM. A. Cox, wherein the
meaning OF territorial government
and military occupation OF a country
is clearly defined. and wherein is made
the declaration that ''the flag Of the
United States proclaimS its sovereign
~ and dominion" we are forced to
pause and reflect.
W. fully agree with the eminent
jurist that wherever Our flag is raised
it SHOULD proclaim the sovereignty
of the United States, but does IT.?
Experience has taught many of our
citizens that there are some grave in
constituencies In the manner in which
our dignity as a nation is maintained
on foreign shores which cannot now

floats from the top OF the flag stats
over them. There is one department
OF our government that is so inter
woven with our local interests that
the attention Of the entire shipping
ports should know of the experience
or n or our most prominent vessel
captains. Sailing into u Of the BAYS
OF Cuba. he was compelled to take
aboard a pilot who steercd the vessel
safely into the harb0r and stuck her
into the mud. After the removal of
several thousand feet of lumber. the
captain had his anchor raised in order
to move in toward the dock and low
cred it again within twenty feet of
his first position. Calling upon the
customs officer. IA lieutenant from the
regular army appointed to iii the 90
SitiUnl the captain was ordered to pay
an unreasonable fine for attempting
to 10Y his vessel without a special
permit; was presented IA bill for in
terpreter's fees. and compelled t. pay
for an incompetent pilot. instead OF
receiving redress for being stuck in
the mud. When asked by the captain
for an explanation Of these fines and
charges. he was handed IA copy Of the
old Spanish customs code, and told he
must abide by those rules.
Pointing to the flag floating above
them. Il vessel captain asked what
that flag was floating over that build
ing for il he was to be held subject to
Spanish rules.
Indignantly turning to the customs
officer he declared his determination
to be governed by the customs statute
OF the United States and no other as
long as that flag waved over the GUS
toms Office. This is II very grave con-
ditlon of affairs and means the unjust
paying out of many dollars Of the
vessel owners money unless a prompt
investigation is demanded. Every Of
ticer sent from the United States to
take charge Of the customs ports Of
Cuba was provided with a statute of
the United States governing customs
rules and regulations. Why Il stat
ute should be Ignored and the old
Spanish code raked out and used is
what these home ports want explain
ed.
This is not the only department un.
der our government that needs strin-
gent investigation. but the knowledge |
OF these discrepancies causes one to
wonder whether the flag means SOW
ereigntv or farce, or worse.
