Too Great A Risk.

In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of collie or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or physician summoned. A re. liable remedy for these diseases should be kept ut hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy has undoubted- ly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suff- ering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon. For sale by Brown, Me- Quistou X Go.

EITHER ONE OR rHiE wsREK.

"The eightv-6ve bills involved Tn the present controversy would either work good to the, state and the people of Arkansas or they would work harm.
 If Gov. Davis thought they would work harm it was his du ty to veto them.
 "If he thought they would work good 1t was his duty tc warn the enrolled bills commit tees that all bills not presented to him by last Wednesday would fail.
 He did neither of these things Instead, he seems to have Celib> eratelv set trap for the com mittees and to now rejoice tlra about half the work of the last legislature" has failed-if his contention holds good. /"
 The above comments. from the Arkansas Gazette, are elicited from the fact that Governor Dat- wis claims that S5 bills passed by the last Legislature were net presented to him for approval or rejection within 20 days after the adjournment of the General Assembly. The proof, however, is to the contrary, for the Chief Clerk of the house certif es that he presented to Davis private Secretary, Harry Jacobson, on the day the Legislature adjourn ed every House bill and took his receipt therefor; and the Senate Committee on enrolled bills, al so, state that 1t rendered to the same person, who as absolutely. unequivocally and without question the agent. representa- a. tive and authorized medium for the transaction of business be. tween the Governor and the Gen tral Assembly all the Senate bills, and so now there your are. But suppose the Governors conten- tion IS true. what sort of a Coy. IS he to sit patiently and wait for an opportunity for the work of the Legislature, which had cost the people ofthe state SfO0,- 900. to become imperative, when he could have so easily have notified the committees of the consequences Of delay.

 After many other pleasant and complimentary remarks, the Du- mas News concludes long article as follows
 Now word about the city herfelf: Her advantages are so superb and numerous, that 1t were much easier to enumerate her dIs- advantages. and after serious thought upon the subject, we find but one-the city stands sadly in need of better railroad facilities we can say this truthfully and without disparagement to the love- ly city or its good citizens for we verify believe that if they could have their way, not alone would the present train service be inn proved, but the city would have q competing road and, as an after thought, we believe that those peo- pie will accomplish both these de- sirable quantities before many years pass.
 "One of the great advantages that Monticello has and which goes far to make 1t one of the pret- tiest towns in the state is that 1t retains within its corporate limits much of it's forests foliage and at tcndant beauty; the woodman' S ax has not ruthlessly marred this landscape as has been done in many of our younger cities. We saw some of the loveliest residences such even as millionaire might be content with.
 Monticello numbers among her live industrial enterprises a cotton mill, cotton seed oil mill, canning factory, ice plant, cotton compress, electric light and water works the last two being owned by the city); pressed brick frctory and steam laundry. The only industry in the city owned by foreign capi- tai IS the cotton compress.
 "The water supplied the city Is from an artesian well and of the purest quality. These industries are owned, controlled and operat- ed by home capital-mark that not dollar of foreign investment in either one of them, and with such community. and all it's nat ural advantages, ,.what a bright out look for the future.

 With a competing railroad to facilitate transportation and re- duce freight rates, the city of Mon- ticello would rapidly increase its population and develop an indus trial aflluence second to none. Ev- en under present conditions the population of the city continues to increase surprisingly and is made up of the "fnest in the land. "

FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
SPOIL SWINDLING GAME
Arrest kossuth Ligon at Los Angeles
on Charge of Using the Mails
to DcfraUd Southerners.

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 19.-Kossuth
Ligon, we'll dressed and in the posses
sion of plenty of money, is a United
States prisoner in the County Jail,
charged with being implicated in one
of the most gigantic schemes to de-
fraud through the mails that has ever
been worked in the Southern States. A
United States officer is now en- route
from Memphis, Tenn, to take him back
for trial.
The postal authorities had noticed
that a vast quantity of mail was being
sent to addresses throughout the South
and West b. one Robert II. Banks of
Memphis and that he was receiving
thousands of letters daily. many of
them containing money orders. Banks
represented in his circulars that he
was receiver for the Mississippi Valley
Planters Publishing Company. and
that a court of claims" at the instance
of the Chicago Paper Company" had
ordered the distribution to subscribers
of all premiums which had been adver-
tised. The list Of premiums had been
partly destroyed, and Banks was or
dered to make out a new list. The pre-
miums ranged from q mule to a piano,
and all that was asked of those receiv
ing the circulars was that they remit
express charges and receive their pre-
miums free. OF course, there were no
such concerns as the publishing COM
pany," the court of claims" or the
Chicago Paper Company" and no sub
scription list, but the victims fell over
each other in biting at the bait and
sent express charges, the amounts of
which depended upon the weight of the
article selected and the distance. The
swindle netted the operators many
thousands of dollars.

COLORED CHURCH DEACON
THREATENS TO USE RAZOR
Wife Alleges That lie Vowed to Cut
Her Throat If She Allowed New
Pastor to BaDtize Her.
sstOr to Baptize Her.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 19.-Because
she wished to be baptized by the new
pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church,
Deacon Edward T. Asberry threatened
10 cut his wife's throat with a razor.
This is the allegation made by Mrs.
Asberry and it lead to her husbands s
arrest. All the parties to the episode
are colored.
Rev. j. Gordon Mcpherson, who was
a member of the Twenty-fourth In
fantry which took part in the famous
fight at San Juan Hill, recently came
TO Sacramento and opened a season of
revival meetings, which greatly stirred
the colored population. Mrs. Asberry,
the comely young wife of one of the
leading deacons in the church, was so
impressed by Rev. Mr.. McPherson's s
manner that she announced to her
husband her intention to be baptized
next Sunday night. It appears that
AsberTy has not looked with favor
upon Mcpherson and his jealousy was
so aroused that Thursday night he
threatened 70 cut his wife's throat with
a razor if she persisted in her pur-
pose to be baptized by the new pas
tor. Deacon Asberry when arrested
said he Would not hurt his dear
little wife for the world" and that the
only reason he did not want her to be
baptized next Sunday night was that
she did not have as good clothes as he
would like TO see her wear on such an
impressive occasion.

Continental Building and Loan
Association Adding Greatly
to the Prosperity of State
IT'S MARVELLOUS ADVANCE
Subscribed Capital Now More
Than $15,0O0,O00 and Busi-
ness Extends to All Localities

The Continental Building and Loan AS
sociation of California with offices at
3Ol California street, corner Of Battery,
outranks to-day in the volume OF busl-
ness transacted any other institution
of a like character in the United States.
This not only gives the Continental
proud position in the public estimation,
but il speaks well for the growth of the
city of San Francisco and the State OF
California, including the many thriving
interior cities, whose people have availed
themselves in a large degree of the ben
eflts offered by this concern.
The Continental Building and Loan As
sociation not only gives an opportunity
to the prudent to acquire homes of their
own, but it serves as a method OF saving
and accommodating money to those who
aIe not ready to or do not desire TO
build.
The excellence and high standing of
this institution and the great benefits
derived from it by investors are thor
oughly demonstrated by its steady and
phenomenal growth since its rounding.
This years growth of the Continental
has broken the record. The subscribed
capital has increased by over two
and one-half million dollars during the
year and the total subscribed capital is
now $15.6S3, 700.
The paid-in capital has increased by
half a million dollars and now amounts,
IN ROUND NUMBERS, TO S0.UUU,OOV
During the year 743 loans have been
made, amounting to $780, 400. OF this
number 362 were building loans.
The personnel of the directorate of the
Continental is of the highest. This is
the list of officers and directors:
Or. Washington Dodge City and
County Assessor), president; James
Mccullough manager of Armour
Packing Company. vice president;
William Corbin, secretary and gen
eral manager Gavin McNab, attor-
ney, and DIR. Joseph G.. Crawford Omitted
names stand for a great deal. They mean
integrity and intelligent and progressive
business methods
The Continental believes that the
doorstep Of ones own home is long
step toward success. It also believes
that ii is better to buy home than to
borrow one. The report of Secretary and
Manager Corbin shows a total of 362
new homes built for members during the
year. During the previous year 1S4 were
erected.
The Continental has now $1,000 mem
bers who are not home builders. but are
using the association for the purpose OF
saving such money as they may be able
from time TO time to deposit and thus ac-
cumulate On all such money they are
being paid liberal rate of interest.
The six per cent certificates of deposit
issued by this association are among the
best investments in the State. The in
terest is payable semi-annuaNy on the
first day of January and the first day of
July of each year.
The comparative statement. showing
the increase in subscribed capital of the
Continental each year. from June so,
1894 to June 80, 1908. is interesting
showing the marvellous growth of the
ing concern. This statement is as fol-
