A photographic swindler has been making his way through Crawford county, imposing upon the country people by pretending to take pictures of their families in exchange for meals and lodging. From what we can learn of his methods, he would select his vic tims, make a few fake exposures, promise to leave the finished pho tographs at certain place on a certain day and then take his de- parture. Of course his victims were always disappointed, for by the time they called for their pie lures the fakir was miles away Van Buren Argus.

My neighbor across the street was sick for over week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were ill a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that 1t was almost bloody Aux. l asked him if he had tried Chamberlain Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, : No. 1 went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose told hinto take another dose ill fifteen or twenty minutes if lie did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured.

Hanging of Colbert.

Sheriff Geo. T. Harrell is to hang Charles Colbert at Green wood and in discussing the matter said to Fort Smith News Record man:
 ''The gallows will be built at the north end of the jail at Green wood and within the enclosure. The law provides that the execu- ton shall take place between the rising and the setting of the sun and 1 guess about the turn of the day will be a good time to exc cute the law. If I am there 1 shall pull the lever which springs the trap, for I would not ask any man to do that which l would not do myself. The law limits the num- Der who shall witness the execu- ton to twenty-five, and shall ob- serve the law in that respect. I have been importuned already by quite number for tickets to see poor Colbert expiate his crime, and that man is much less perturbed in spirit than many others. He has never shown any sign of weak ness since he was convicted. l have not been home since the gov ernor refused to commute the sen tence, so do not know how the boy feels now that all hope is gone but from what 1 know of him he will be a great deal calmer than those who are there to swing him off,
 Judge Blythe, who has taken a great deal of interest i'll Colbert s case, is very much depressed be- cause of the governor refusal to interfere. Said he:
 "Yes, Charley is done for now. The trouble was that the governor was deluged with letters asking him not to interfere with the death sentence, and then, too, there was a large petition sent in from Hart ford where Charley lived, protest ing against any commutation of sentence. I don't believe that Charley Colbert killed that man. It is case of mistaken identity just as sure as you are alive, and the time is coming when that will prove to have been the case, and those who are crying so loudly for his crucifixion will regret their action.
 The wonderful self-posession of Charles Colbert was never better il- lustrated than when he looked out of the window of his cell and be- held the carpenters saving and erecting the timbers upon which he will die. The gallows is being erected ill one corner of the jail yard and almost in front of Col bert's cell. He takes a great deal
