Read 1t in His Newspaper.

George Sceaub, a well-known German citizen, of New Lebanon, Ohio, is constant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in it's columns, and when he saw Chamberlain s Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buy ing a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, T feel as though born anew, and before using the en- tire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up her household duties" :" He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery This valuable liniment is for sale by the Green Forest Drug Co.

words and the instances cited were convincing, and as they were not wholly in line with the modern educators, were some- what of surprise to his hearers.
 Prof. J. H. Caldwell, the con- ductor of the institute, is super intendent of schools in the neigh boring city of Harrison, and is among the ablest teachers in the state. The impression made by him upon our teachers was most favorable, and the fixed attention accorded him testified to their appreciation of his work. At the close of the last days work very complimentary vote of thanks was given him for his work and to Examiner Butt for securing his services.

TAKING MINERAL OPTIONS.
Work Has Been Suspended on
 the Green Forest "Oil" Well.

So far as the Kansas City 6 Arkansas Mining & Development Go. is concerned, the proposition to drill @ 1400-foot prospecting we'll in Green Forest is abandoned before depth of 200 feet has been reached, but this does not mean that the we'll is not going to be drilled, however.
 Maj. E. s. W. Drought, the superintendent of the company, is not so easily discouraged and if sufficient inducements are se- cured for him in the way of min- eral options in this locality the work will be more vigorously prosecuted than heretofore, on his own account.
 Maj. Drought came in again from Kansas City Tuesday and work was at once suspended on the well to await developments in the matter of securing options.
 Attorney F. o. Butt, A. J. Rus sell and c. R. Blasingame have been engaged this week in ne- gotiating for options upon the land desired and have met with fair success. The right to mine the land is all that is desired by Mai. Drought and for this he pro- poses to pay liberally.
 Maj. Drought declares there has nothing so far developed that lends any special encouragement to the enterprise, nor has he really expected it to do at the depth so far reached.
 Maj. Drought is a very fair, open hearted man, and is easy to deal with. He employs no bulldozlng or underhanded methods, but is always in pleas ant and agreeable mood, and we have no doubt but that his prop osition to continue the work will be met promptly and satisfactori- ly.
 If everything is adjusted as de- sired by Maj. Drought, he in forms us that drilling will be re- sumed at once.

 that fellow Clayton. He footed his horn again and the old office holders answered, Here we are, boss They got a lot of the Cap ltal Hotel paper, gathered around all the tables available, and com menced making out credentials until they had about one hundred delegates that never had belonged to a club in their lives, and many of them never heard of a league until Clayton told them that was what he wanted them to meet him in Little Rock for. He telegraph ed Remmel in New York to know if he would accept the presidency of the state league. Remmel answered, Yes Mind you, Remmel had never been in a league meeting in his life; did not have league in the county where he lived and did not belong to the league farther than an honorary membership of the Lin- coin Club of Little Rock.
 l appreciated the fact Clayton would die unless he got his hand on the throat of the league. He did not have twenty men in the league convention that were en- titled to vote, and l could Gas chairman of the convention and having my own secretary and the appointment of the committee on credentials) have ruled the last one of them out who did not have legal credentials, and that would have taken all except perhaps 8 dozen of the responses to the tooter of the horn. I became so thoroughly disgusted that I re- fused to be a candidate for the presidency of the league, and was only too glad to wash my hands and step aside. 1 then made up my mind to resign as chairman of the central committee; for, with twenty five years experience of Clayton's methods, l became thoroughly convinced that the re- publicans of Arkansas can never progress further than to retain a machine to grind out the federal patronage, so long as Powell Clayton has anything to do with the party, and I believe, in all sincerity, that he has done more to retard the progress of the re- publican party in Arkansas than all the democratic legislation, ballot box stealing and counting out in the state."
 While Col. Fowler was indorsed by the state committee for the position of marshal, it is known that his appointment was prac- tically agreed to by President Roosevelt with MT. Foreman and others who succeeded in securing the removal of Mr. Cooper from the position. The state commit tee simply followed suit in the matter. It is stated that Col. Fowler has never retracted a word he said in this famous letter.
 The Stuttgart Republican sup plement is 8 hard hitter from 8 start to finish and it will be interesting to see what answers l the regulars can make to the wholesale charges of corruption that it makes.
 The insurgents are up against a hard combination, but they seem to stand in good favor with the president and if enough en- couragement is received to carry the, fight beyond the coming state convention it will be fight to 2 finish.

THE REPUBLICAN, RUMPUs.
Insurgent Element Issues Some
 Warm Literature.

A supplement- to the Stuttgart Republican is being given broad circulation throughout the state bv the insurgent element of the republican party. The sheet is what might properly be termed a sswarm number.'' It is the bit terest sort of arraignment of the alleged machine methods prac- ticed by the leaders of the party in the distribution of federal pa tronage. Almost every member of the executive committee, which has been used as the vehicle for dividing the spells, comes in for a personal mention and the terms made use of are anything but complimentary to the subjects.
 Perhaps the greatest hit made by this frey piece of literature is the republishing of a letter which Hon. Harry Myers wrote to the Stuttgart Free Press in 1896, when that distinguished gentle man was himself in rebellion against the powers that be in the republican affairs of Arkansas. The Myers letter is a strong de- nunciation of the methods and practices of the leaders of his party. In view of the fact that Mir. Myers now proposes to ssac- rifice'' himself as the regular republican candidate for gover- nor, this letter is quite an inter- esting document. But, of course, the letter was written a long time before Hon. Harry was given seat at the pie counter and per- mitted to draw good salary as register of the Little Rock land office.
 Another chapter in this rather celebrated piece of campaign lit- erature is a letter written to the same paper about the same time by Hon. A. s. Fowler, who suc-  ceeded Hon. H. M. Cooper as marshal for the Eastern district of the state. Fowler is the father of the republican league clubs in Arkansas, and in this letter he tells how the leadership of this or ganization was wrenched from him, an extract from which reads as follows:
 ssI attended every national league meeting for the past five years, and at some of them not another man from the state but myself was present to represent Arkansas. I stuck to it, deter mined that the Arkansas repub- lican league should succeed. Fi- nally it became quite an organi- zation, and it's power was being felt throughout the state, and through the medium of the league ! organization the republican party Was progressing too fast for Ssthat fellow Clayton" so that he toots his horn and gathers lot of his old office holders together (on the promise of giving them office again when Mckinley is elected, and he gets in the cab . inet, and he brings them with him to our state league meeting and tells them i've must stop this fellow Fowler Che has too much business.) So he sees me ana takes me to his room at the Cap ital Hotel, locks the door, and be- gins by saying, Now, we are will ing to re-elect you president oi the state league, but you must give us the secretaryship.' said! Who do you mean by us? thought this was republican meeting and didn't know there were two factions. He sad Well, I mean my friends; tha will harmonize your friends ane mine.'
