Possible Cause of Cancer.

Does tobacco cause cancer? This ques-
tion has been disputed, when answered in
the affirmative, largely because among the
vast number of smokers in the world SO
few Of them have cancer. Yet In English
statistics it has been shown that out of
seventy-eight cases OF cancer OF the mouth
treated in a cancer hospital only ten cases
were those of women. Taking this show
ing. and the fact that a wound of any kind
on person disposed to cancer may produce
the disease. Ii is not too much to suspect
that the pressure of hard pipestem on the
lip with the constant irritation of nicotine.
may be the direct cause.
Aside from these most serious conse-
Quences of smoking. We have the unmis-
taxable evidences that weakened muscles
and tremulousness result in nearly all cases.
This is so well recognized that for athletes
in training smoking is prohibited. For rifle
sicoting the smoker suffers as much from
shaky nerves from his eyesight, and few
records have been made by men who were
invetcrate smokers. Yes, smoking is some-
thing more than a bad habit. Give dose
of it daily to a dog, and he soon loses his
hair; keep il up and his teeth VIII drop
out and pursue 1t still further and the
animal will become blind. However, x In

ments of fact.the final end to tobacco smok>

SEARCY AND DIES ARC
 RAILROAD EXTENSION.

The long talked of extension of the Searcy and Des Arc is taking some definite shape. The surveying party previously mentioned after running the line from Hazen to Des Arc, made a number of surveys about town and finally settled on line out of town as follows: Leaving the main line near the east end of the depot by a gradual curve across the Public Square and striking Thornhill street just north of it's intersection with Main St., thence south out of town by Thorn hill St. This was deemed by the rail- way people as the most satis. lctory route. This route was selected of course subject to the will of the prop erty owners located thereon and the City council in regard to streets and public property .Des Arc Guidon.

RECEPTION TO MERCHANTS.

The St. Louis merchants, manu- factures and bankers were enthusias- tically and cordially received by the business men of this city. After the drive over the residence portions of the city and through the business section, they were taken to the rooms of the Newport Club.
 The address of welcome delivered by Hon. J. M. Stayton was responded to by H. S. Futile, president of the St. Louis Merchants & Manufacturers Excursion Association, who is also manager of the St. Louis Furniture Building Trade. His remarks were timely, and happily expressed, thank ing the business men of Newport for their hospitality and evidence of good will and assuring them of good credit.
 In one corner of the club rooms, a beverage of sufficient age to tickle the palate of an Epicurean was served and the health of guests and hosts were here toasted.
 After this informal reception, the visitors were taken to the business houses of the merchants, that they might have ar idea of the stocks car ried by Newport houses and form the acquaintance of members of the firm, who could not be present owing to the rush of business.
 The special train left at 4:15 p. m. after a stay of hour and 45 minutes, for Walnut Ridge. Only one other stop was to be made, Corning, and the St. Louis representatives expected to reach home Sunday morning after their two weeks excursion through Louisiana and Arkansas.
 They were very pleasant gentlemen, who made most favorable impress sion with Newport and we hope that these excursions into their trade territory may become annual visits.

 "Good and lawful jurors of said Cross county, who, being sworn in due form, say that the said Elias Wells came to his death at the hands of un- known parties by hanging him by the neck and blow in the back of his head. c. M. Grain, foreman of the jury.n

PRAISES PARAGoULD PASTOR.

As the annual conference of the Methodist church draws near, and the moving time for the pastors of that denomination is close at hand, in terest in the pastoral fate of Rev. M. B. Umsted the popular minister of the Paragould church, becomes matter of public concern says the Soliphone.
 From his entrance on the ministerial work here, Rev. Umsted has grown in popular favor and has ably maintained the high standard set by his pre- decesso., Dr. Jeffett. While his style in the pulpit, and his manner in ming ling with the people differ from that of Bro. Jeffett, the church and cause of christianity at large have lost noth- ing under the ministery of Rev Um- sted. His sermons make up in prac- tical, consecrated power, for the fervid eloquence of his predecessor, and all have been made better by coming in contact with him and his truly pious wife.
 It is the well-nigh unanimous wish of the people of Paragould that the conference return Rev. Umsted and his good lady to this charge again. And as it would be contrary to the customs of the church and to the wishes of the people in general to re- move him after the first years work here, it is confidently expected that l there will be no change made in the Paragould pastorate by the Bishop.

APPEALS FOR AID.
Legislature Asked To Support Or ganization Of State Militia By
 Liberal Appropriation.

Little Rock, Nov. 23 Adjt. Gen.
 Charles Jacobson Saturday addressed
 letter to each member of the com
 ing legislature asking for liberal app
 propriation for the State Guard.
 Among other things he says: "I ad-
 dress you because the State Guard has
 risen to a dignity and assumed such
 proportions as to challenge the favor 1 of the people of Arkansas. It has
 attained it's present standing without any legislative aid, by appropriation or otherwise from the State, and has
 now two fully organized and equipped regiments, containing twenty four
 companies; also third regiment in process of organization, which we are not actively encouraging for the req son of our inability to equip them as they should be, the State necessarily depending upon the national govern
 ment for everything.
 sIhe State Guard cannot maintain it's standing without some financial assistance from the State, and to this end enlist your sympathy and CO., operation. The office of adjutant- general, as well as all other military positions connected with the Guard, being without an allowance, the period
 has now arrived, it is believed, when 1 the State should supplement the act 1 of the Federal government by making
 reasonable appropriation for it's
 military establishment. The national
 government contributes one million
 dollars annually, apportioned accord l ing to representation in congress, to
 being solely available in arms and equipments. No money allowance is granted, therefore the need of Arkan-
 sas lining up with her sister States by
 making suitable appropriation for l handling the supplies annually fur nished by the government at Wash l ington, also for the general conduct of I concerns relating to the State Guard. l Arkansas alone of the States has not
 in many years assisted with funds the
 organization of it's active military es-
 tablishments, it's only direct support
 having been the commissioning of of 6cers, whose efforts have brought to l it's present efficiency force aggre- Igatlng twenty well organized and
 we'll appointed guardsmen."

 Texarkana, Ark, Nov. 22. The heavy rains which have fallen throughout this section the past three days have seriously affected railway travel and traffic. Big washouts are reported on the Cotton Belt and Texas & Pacific lines west of here. No train over the latter road has come in or gone out since o'clock last night and traffic will not be renewed over it be- fore tomorrow or possibly later.

STREET FAIR
 FINANCIAL SUCCESS,

There can no longer be a doubt re- maining in the mind of any one in re- gard to the financial success of our street fair says the Poplar Bluff Sentinel That it was bowling success every other way, has never been disputed The financial com mittee has finished settling all ae- counts, and check for 30 per cent of the original donation has been pre- sented to all who contributed. 1t is certainly encouraging and the pros poets for another one next year are very good. The managers who took such an interest and worked so un- ceasingly for the success of the fair, certainly deserve great credit and the thanks of the community.
