We have saved many doctor bills since We began using Cham berIain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep bottle open all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and IS a result we never have to send away for doctor and incur large doctor bill, for Ghamberlain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly q medicine of great merit and worth.-D. s. Mearkle, General Merchant and farmer, Hattie, Bedford county, Pa.

That was q terrible affair at Hot Springs. Five men killed and another wounded in q street duel is a record seldom attained by the wild. reckless elements in new western towns. Rival political factions met in deadly conflict, and the result is told in the forego- ing statement. Ii is needless to say the whole state was shocked by the news of the tragedy. Hot Springs has indeed been unfortu- nate, and in common with her good citizens we deplore the bloody affair. It is an unhealthy scnti- ment that fayors the Use of guns in the settlement of political differ ences. It is d regrettable state of affairs when the authorities come into conflict and resort to lawless methods to settle their differences. There is a serious fault somewhere, of course, and it ought to be eX- posed. In the first place, officers ought not to be permitted to be- come offensive partisans in any lo- cal political contest. They are supposed to represent the whole people, and when they engage in political wrangIes their useful ness is seriously impaired. When officers engage in these factional fights deplorable results frequently follow.-Ark. Democrat.

 The above is rather a bad showing for the state; but we hardly think it quite so bad as painted. Out of the 16O kill ings a great many of them were not murders; but self-defense homicides, which the slayers doubtless regretted, more than the communities possibly could. \ man is extremely unfortunate to have to take the life of a fel- bowman under almost any cir cumstances, but when it comes to taking lie to save ones own life, 1t is not murder and should not be so set down.

 It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dalryman call ed at T drug store there for doe tor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not find ing the doctor in, he lett word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In q few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, is the child was much better. The drug gist, Mir. Otto scholtz, says the family has since recommended Cham berIain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.

AGUINALDO IN HISTORY.

After recent occurrences in the Philippines in which the Philipino ehieftian has 50 eonspieuously fig ured, it would appear almost treas onable in the eyes of some to speak word in his praise, but the current facts of history, now mak- ing, will vindieate his character from much of the aspersion heap ed upon t, and lis name will stand out in bold relief as one of the greatest men of the age.
 Gp to the point of divergence from our policy in the Philippines wherein the attempt is made to bring his people under subjection to American rule the name of Aguinaldo rang with praise throughout this country; but since the issue has been made, and the Malay chief has dared once more to strike for freedom, We hear him defamed and his good name handed down as the synonim for everything that is mean.
 The starting point with his de famers dates with his birth. and runs through l life of varying vicissitudes to the grand elimac- tefic-his treaehery to Spain. During all these years he has been, so to speak, an outlaw and a vil- Han of the deepest dye; and, now that he is in arms against Us, in defense of what he conceives to be the liberty of his people, he is d traitor, doubly dyed, and should be hung.
 History. will write him another chapter, and after the bloody war heis now waging for independence is over Aguinaldo' name will stand high up on the scroll of fame.
 Treachery, so llippantly charged to his account cannot be sustained either in his dealinas with tbe Spaniards or Americans. Of this there is abundant evidence. He bargained with Arolas, tis true, 10 lay down his arms and leave the country, but it was on che express condition chat such reform would be inaugurated as would bring peace and prosperity to his people. ltwas onIy=a ruse on the part of Spain to rivet tighter the chains of slavery on the Philippines. and his indignant spirit broke afresh through all restraint and he reor- ganized the rebellion.
 His attitude to America has never been concealed. Made to believe that we were friends and our mission one of disinterested friendship, he eo-operated with Dewey and Otis in driving the Spaaiards out, His appeal to this government was q masterpiece of its kind and his manifestoes all betrayed frankness in dealing with the question of government at is- sue between his people and ours.
 Much stress is laid on lis talk ing the initiative iu making war.

 ol1pVc 1t free and untrammeled. Besides, If the pardoned crini- nal Is not such a man as would make a good citizen in Arkansas he would just as likely not make one in Texas, Oregon or in our recently acquired possessions, and it is unjust for our EXecu- tive to dump our"bad men from Bitter Creek on the inoffensive and unsuspecting population of other States or Territories. Then, again, the pardon with the annex IS even more cruel than the original punishment. To banish a man from Arkansas for all time to come Is too horri- hle to contemplate. Every par don granted should carry with it joy and sweet consolation; but when the average maureads that to leave the State is a part oft, he feels that he S driving h:s own funeral car, and there IS lit tie wonder that now and then we read of men, who have thus been set adrift, returning to the State and begging to be again put into the penitentiary. As soon as our Governor gets over his whim of sending people out of the State when he pardons them, he will make those whom he favors with clemency truly happy and nine times out of ten will make them better men and more useful citizens.

Ii helps be- cause the pores of the skin readily absorb it, and it comes into direct contact with and is absorbed by the parts involved. Morning sickness Is quickly banished, and nervousness is kept completely away. The sense of dread and foreooding is not experienced, even during labor itself.
