BAD CHECKS BEHIND.
Roadmaster Collins On Frisco Passes Up His Jonesboro Friends And
 Leaves For Parts Unknown.

The Jonesboro Daily Enterprise of Saturday tells of railroad man who succeeded in "duping' a number of business men of that city and then shook the dust of the town from his feet. The Enterprise says:
 "Roadmaster R. P. Collins who re- signed position with the Frisco last week, saying that he was going to Bowling Green, Ky, to take po- sition with the L. & N. road, turns out to be first class rascal.
 "In the first place his resignation with the Frisco was matter of com junction, and his job with the L. & N. was cleverly devised tale to fool t e people and right well he did it. He gave several checks for large amounts to Jonesboro parties and owed con siderable to his fellow employees on the road. One check to I. Goldstein for over $50; one to Max Meyer for over $100 and one to J E. Wilburn at Nettleton for over $1OO, besides others of which we cannot secure definite information. His shortages are over $500 It is even said here that Collins was not his name, that R. P. Collins, known all over the country as an ex- cellent railroader is dead and that this fellow is using his name in order to secure work with the various rail- roads.
 "He drew his money out of the Jonesboro Savings & Trust Co.,, where he had deposited Thursday evening late, and left, he said for Bowling Green, but his whereabouts are not known-there are few here however, who would like to know.u

 The delegation from Arkansas is composed of very prominent and in tellectual womenS Among them is Mrs. John H. Keel, very bright and handsome woman, and the wife of one of Americas most prominent politi- clans.
 Mrs. Chas. H. Wilmans, recording secretary of the Arkansas Division, is a daughter of the late Capt. Green Brandenburg, who was a loyal Con- federate soldier and well known in New Orleans in the days of the old South. She stands out conspicuously among the bright women of the con- vention.
 Mrs. R. M. Johnson of Newport, Ark, is one of the most charming and prepossessing women in the eonven- tion, and is very ardent worker in the U. D. c. cause. Mrs. Johnson's father, J. A.

and yet within one year Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, the new catarrh cure. has met
with such success that today it can be
found in every drug store throughout the
United States and Canada.
To be sure a large amount OF advertis-
ing was necessary in the first instance to
bring the remedy to the attention of the
public, but everyone familiar with the
subject knows that advertising alone
never made any article permanently sue
cessful. 1t must have in addition abso-
Lutte, undeniable merit, and this the new
catarrh cure certainly possesses in a
marked degree.
Physicians, who formerly depended
upon inhaIers, sprays and local washes or
ointments, now use Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets because, as one of the most promin-
ent stated, these tablets contain in pleas
ant, convenient form all the really eff
cient catarrh remedies, such as red gum,
blood root and similar antiseptics.
They contain no cocaine nor opiate and
are given to little children with entire
safety and benefit.
