Blood

If the blood in sufficient guam
tity leaves the body because of
a wound or hemorrhage of the
lungs the result is death.
Life depends on the blood
because the blood carries to all
parts of the body the nutritive
elements necessary to sustain it.
What if these nutritive ele-
ments are absent?
What if they are supplanted
by poisonous, effete matter and
disease germs?
The first result is disease-par-
tial death. The final result is the
same as from loss of blood.
All disease is traceable to i'm
purity or weakness of the blood
and that is the reason the
z" Golden Medical Discovery"
cures so many different diseases

blood = makes it rich, red and
healtliy-fills it with nutriment

ease of the blood-so is scrofula
so is rheumatism. They look
like different diseases but one
medicine will relieve all three.

medicines IN my practice" writes

OF The. Waite Comic Opera Company at
the Wheeling Park Casino.
The audiences increase in size at
each performance of the Waite Opera
Company at the Wheeling Park Casino.
Yesterday afternoon and evening the
crowds were very large and the ex-
cellent music and dramatic action were
very much appreciated. The matinee
bill was La Mascotte," and at night,
Bohemian Grip was sung. The work
of the principals in the solo parts in
the evening was especially good.
Tonight the company will sing
Paul JONES' an opera with which the
people of this city are not very famil-
lar. There will be general desire to
hear it for this reason, and for the adj
ditional reason that it has enjoyed such
a degree of popularity elsewhere.

crops has always proved successful in the South. Recently the Gov ington {Ky) Leader had some thing to say on this subject which applies to every state in the South and is worth reproducing. It is well worth the consideration of the farmers of Arkansas. It put the case very forcibly in this way {:
 "The top notch beef cattle are being sold at $6.6o per hundred. A fine fat steer weighing Loco or I 200 pounds will buy two and a half bales of cotton at prevailing prices. Unfortunately the South is as short on cattle as long on cot ton. It does seem that the profits of the two would cause the cotton raiser to stop and consider a bit. Cattle are seldom below the cost of production and yet the fact is the cattle of the South have deteriorat- ed rather than improved in the last ten years. Many an old, poor field might be made profitable while be- ing made richer with cattle.
 It is true every farmer has not the capital to go into the extensive raising of cattle, but few acres of grass, clover and peas, with care and attention, would raise half a dozen or more steers, that would give more profit than many broad acres of cotton. This cannot be done with a mongrel breed of Jerseys and scrubs that could hard ly be made to weigh 1,ooo pounds at 6 years instead of two. If some attention was given to breeding the better grade of cattle for beef purposes and few dollars expend ed preparing pastures, the farmers would find the profits of farming materially increased ,
 Bat few farmers in Arkansas are engaged in raising stock of high grade; not because they lack the facilities for raising such stock, but because they have no means of reaching the markets. But now the conditions are changing, We are getting more railroads in the state, and they are being built

DO THEY WANT IT.

Do the people of Arkansas de sire an extra session of the legis- lature? If so, why? If not. why not2 Let us discuss the question in all it's bearings in newspapers and let us find out the wishes of the people If the people want the extra session, it IS their government, sustained by their taxes, and they have q right to it, although 1t might be an expensive luxury If they are opposed to it they have a right to say so, and they ought to say so. Let Us sound public opin. ion through the press. see what the people want-and then give 1t to them. If they want this extra session the thing to do IS to cry for 1t, cry for 1t loud and long, and Coy. Jones will give 1t 10 them. If, on the other hand, they believe 1t will prove an evil, let them sound an alarm. We can settle this question through the newspapers right away.  Let's take the vote: All who are i'll favor of an extra session, say Ave; yon who are opposed to it say, No! The Democrat will keep the record of the vote as 1t comes in. .'-Arkansas Democrat.
 If there IS anybody in this sec tion of country clamoring for an extra session of the legislature we have not heard of him. There may possibly be some who want the legislative body re-convened, but they do not go in droyes, and are, unquestionably, woe fully in the minority.
 If our people have done any wrong to the Gov. which causes him to think of,inficting thepun- ishment of an extra session upon them. they are ready and will ing to offer all necessary apolo- gies; but spare them of the Legislative burden.

through territory especially adapt ed to stock raising. If our farmers will seize the opportunity the new railroads are giving them to better themselves, they will soon discover that farming can be made the most profitable industry in the state. We have just as intelligent and thrifty farmers in Arkansas as are to be found in any section of the country. They desire to prosper and if given half a chance poverty will be banished from every farm house in the state. This chance has come with the advent of more railroads, and the farmer who does not change his method of conduct ing his farm will have no one to blame but himself if he is no bet ter off a year hence than he is now. Everything is coming his way and the progressive ones will be sure to take advantage of the situation. Those who do will render greater service to the state than all other influences combined. They will make Arkansas one of the greatest wealth-producing states in the union, and at the same time rescue her people from the clutches of the trusts, by making them independ- ent and Self-supporting.-Ga- Gette.

ury department, where they were the most frequent and of the worst character, notwithstanding Secre- tary Gage has always declared that he was in favor of upholding the law.
 The only department that did not ignore the law was the navy department. Secretary Long fol- lowed the statutes, and even filled the temporary appointments made by him during the war with Spain under civil service rules. This is the only exception pointed out by the commission in it's report. The promise of Mckinley and his party to uphold the civil service was one of the most solemn pledges made during the campaign of I8o6, and was the first to be broken. There were too many Democrats in office when Mir. Mckinley was inaugur- ated, and the spoilsmen who raised the corruption funds and used them to secure the election of their ticket insisted that these men should be discharged and the pres ident had to do their bidding. The civil service system has been ignored and by the party that has long taken the credit of introduc- ing it in our system of govern ment and which promised to main- tain and extend 1t wherever possi- ble.-Gazette
