If you want to know how to select a
good hair mattress just step into the
Hustlers mattress department in the
Atkinson building and see how they
take horse hair and by running it
through a machine pick and grind it SO
it comes out clean, elastic and thing
Of life. A genuine hair mattress is a
luxury, and one of the most comfort
able articles the human body comes in
contact with. There appears to be a
sort of sympathy in this product of the
horse, mans best friend. for the ills
and aches of the flesh. But few people
realize how easy it is to be deceived in
:he purchase of mattress as there is
a kind of Southern moss that fairly re-
.;embles the hair. but it is devoid of the
elasticity and life and does not prove
to be a joy forever. The Colonel is
making up some very fine mattresses
ut the present time and he reports
very thriving business in all his de-
DartmentS.

Rectors Awkward Position.

Representative Rector, the author of the infamous insurance clause in the antitrust bill. is trying to crawl back into the hole out of which he emerged thin and lean, and hungry for fame and franchises of the people when it comes time to elect a successor to Gov ernor Jones, but he has found that hole so hutch to small to admit him after his puffipg up, caused by little cheap notoriety, that he has boldly denied that he ever occupied the hole at any time.
 Mr. Rector, has entirely forg oten that he stated to number of insur- ance men and in the presence of Au- dtor Sloan. that it was the purpose of the bill to restrict insurance companies from combining in the state only, and that if any attempt was made to en- force it beyond the limits of the state the courts would deelar such efforts ineffective as being extra territorial The Hon. E. W. Rector so talked when insurance men went to him to secure his interpretation of the objectionable clause and it was because of his state rnent made on that occasion that no fight was made against the bill during the course of it's passage.
 Now, Mir Rector denies that he ever said that any other construction could be placed upon the insurance clause than the one put upon it by Attorney General Davis. and he has gone to the trouble to wake this denial in a letter to the Texas legislature which has under consideration like bill
 That Mir. Rector should make such a denial is not wondered at. In the first place, he stole the bill bodily from the brains of a Missouri legislator and and passed it off as a child of his own mental being. As no time during the discussion of the bill from the time of it's introduction until it's final passage did MT. Rector intimate that he was shining in reflected light or that he was simply voiciDg the thunder of effective thunder, if he ever was pos sessed of any. It fell to the lot of his compatriot, with the magnificent gall" Jefferson Davis, to give credit to 6 Missourian in order to give strength to the position assumed by him that the bill was just what was wanted to course, the inference to be drawn from this is that Jefferson Davis felt that anything which was the coinage of the brain of any average Arkansas legislator bore upon it's face the signs of mbecility, and to give strength to the reason of the law he traced its or was necessary, IS not to the credit of Mir. Rector. That Mir. Rector should have concealed the fact tn at he was making political capital out of the bralns of Missouri man, who was not here to sight him." is still less to his credit, and that he should inform the Texas legislature that he never gave to the bill any interpretation other than given by the attorney general, takes from him what little credit that might attach to him as fair minded, we'll meaning representative of al always deceived people.
 Every time Mir. Rector opens his mouth concerning the bill he puts his foot in it, and unless he stops talking he will have so many feet in his mouth he will choke to death in obedience to the eternal fitness of things-Fort Smith Time Record.
