Some of the English fnauciers
are beginning to take gloomy view
of the future of the Philippines.
Mr.. Ernest Ruaert, the head of a
Lombard street house who bought
large tracts of land about Manila,
said to a representative Of the As
sociated Press: "The land is useless
under the present conditions. We
could not plant crops with the pos
sibiity of the natives destroying
them over night. The United States
will be unable to rule more that the
fringe of the islands without an
army Of one hundred thousand men.
They might buy the native leaders,
but they would not stay bought and
the United States must re-buy
them periodically. The end of the
matter will be that the United
States will sell the Philippines.

How 70 Prevent Pneumonia

You are perhaps aware that pnen-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of la grippe. Dur
ing the epidemic Of la grippe few
years ago when so many cases re-
suited in pneumonia, it was OBJ
served that the attack was never
followed by that diserse when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency
of a cold or la grippe to result in
that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world tor bad
colds aud la grippe. Every bottle
warranted. For sale by Smith Drug

The Morrilton Democrat says: A
man living near Russellville bought
his boy nice double barrel shot
gun last week and when he took 1t
home the FIRST thing the boy did
was to look down the barrel and
ask il was loaded. The father
didn't say word, but got his horse
aud took the gun right back to the
dealer and took in exchange a saw
buck, an axe and some other farm
ing tools That boy has learned a
lesson by experience that he will

One important measure has al
ready passed the house and we hope
will pass the senate and become a
state law-the GanaWay change OF

change Of venue to be signed BY
three witnesses, instead of one, as
at present, and that the witnesses
be citizens Of the county. Judges
are given discretion as to whether
the change be granted. As at pres
ent there is mere form for peti

this is done the circuit Judge has no

use of the comforts that belong 10
all, The government, which is all
the people acting in concert, is, or
ought to be, the only agency au-
thorized to lend money, and all pri-

As the republicans have very
large majority in the House it
is thought that the new financial
measure retiring abot $500, 600, O0O
in greenbacks will pass, and gold
made the only standard of value.
as the republicans are committed
to this policy we may expect this to
happen. Next congress is republic
can in both branches, so if the
measure fails in this one, 1t can be
passed by it. We had hoped the
era of contraction had passed, but
it seems not-with the greenbacks
out of circulation, still lower prices
may prevail.

The depressing effects Of the
present epidemic of Grip are ap
parent everywhere. Teachers, clerks
business men, mechanics laboror,.
street car drivers, school children,
police officers aud even the doctors
all furnish victims by the hundreds.
No remedy yet discovered can
show results equal to DR. Miles Re-
storative Nervine. 1t quickly over
comes the excessive exhaustion, in
vigorates the appetite and assists
nature to throw of the deadly mic
robes from the system. In times Of
epidemic hike the present it should
be taken as a preventive of disease.
Grip had left me a physicd
wreck; weak, helpless and miserable,
] could not eat; could not sleeri
could not gain any steugth, aud
had nervous prostration of the
worst kind. Our home physician
could not help aud | commence

States the great honey bees found
in the Philippines. These bees are
twice as large as those Of this coun.
try, and produce five or six times as
much honey They have extra long
tongues, and can reach the nectar
in many flowers that our own vari-
ETY. cannot. While this move will
be of material bepeht, it will not be
any more so than Hostetter's Stom-
dch Bitters, which reaches and
cures many ailments that other
remedies fall short of. Among them
may be mentioned dyspepsia indi-

malaria, wasting diseases, and affec-
