WILL WATKINS
 WANTED VENGEANCE.
Jealous Husband Shot Another Negro John Valentine Monday Evening at Rear of Da vaups Store
 Recovery Probable.

Will Watkins, a young negro in the employ of Riley Mayhan, on Monday evening about 6:30 o'clock in the alley to the rear of Da Vaul's store oN lower Front Street, shot John Waller M tine, another negro working for ts M Iron Mountain, with a 38 calibre N volver. Four or five shots were tfiz z but only two took effect and it was thought at first Valentine had been killed, though the chances now favor his recovery. He was shot in the chest and at very close range.
 Watkins, who has always borne a good reputation as industrious and peaceable, was placed under arrest but later released on bond and on Tuesday morning his preliminary trial on the charge of assault with intent to kill was set for Thursday.
 Watkins claims that Valentine had insulted his wife and tried to lock her up in room, when he appeared upo the scene and brought his gun int action.

PLANS OF GOVERNORS
 CAPITOL COMMISSION.
Body Met In Little Rock Monday Mandamus Proceedings To Be Begun To Compel Auditor To
 Accept Their Bonds.

Little Rock, June 9.-The "govern- or's" capitol commission, so desig- mated to distinguish it from the com mission appointed by the legislature, held brief meeting yesterday after noon, but on account of the absence of George R. Haynie of Prescott, one of the members, an adjournment was taken until this afternoon, when the commission will get down to work. The members present are Thomas Cox of Little Rock, J. H. Brawley of Lon oke, Hugh Corry of Texarkana and Charles Wilmans of Newport. Just what the commission will do and how they will do it is not plain at this writing, and the commissioners are not doing any excessive talking about it. Hugh Corry, good natured and courteous, as always, said there was much to be done, and that it would be done, but he did not care to anticipate the commission, and would wait until something had been ac- complished before talking for publi- cation.
 J. H. Brawley, when asked what the commission was going to do for plans, smiled far-away smile and said: "Well, reckon we'll hold fast to what we've got, and just worry along and build new state capitol on the site the law directs and in the manner the law directs.'
 There will today be report from an advisory committee, consisting of Commissioner Haynie, it is thought, and the next step will probably be mandamus proceedings to compel the auditor to recognize and accept the bonds of the commissioners. It will be remembered that when the com missioners brought their bonds to Auditor Monroe he refused to accept them and file them, though he agreed to keep them in his safe for the mem bers of the commission. Until these bonds are accepted the commission, it is held, is not a commission and has no standing in court.
 After being recognized as a com mission, the next step will probably be proceedings against the 'legisla- tive" capitol commission, enjoining them from proceeding or interfering with the work of the governors com mission.
 This, however, is surmise. Until the commission takes some action, what it's plans are cannot be definitely known.

DANGEROUS KIDNEY
 DISEASES CURED
Pe-ru-na Creating a National Sensation in the Cure of Chronic Ailments of

Fred R. Pennel. pianist, Grand Opera house, Hot Springs, Ark. writes:
 Two years ago I came to Hot Springs to take the baths and be treated for bladder and kidney trouble. After spend ing two months here under the care of one of the most prominent physicians and receiving little or no benefit. l was persuaded to try Peruna. I had little faith in it, but after using one bottle I noticed a marked improvement. Three bottles entirely cured me. I can cheer fully recommend Peruna to any one af- flleted as I was."-Fred R. Pencil.
 Thomas M. Hicks. 1131 18th St, Louis- vile. Ky, writes
 Neglected colds, irregular habits and overwork brought on serious kidney and bladder trouble. My blood seemed in- famed with poison, my stomach be- came entirely demoralized, a bad odor emanated from my urine, and I realized l was a sick man. The doctors dosed me to their hearts content. but I kept growing worse. Then fortune brought Peruna to my notice and at once began to mend. I kept taking it for five months before I was completely cured. I feel now that I owe my life to Peruna, and will never cease to be grateful."- Thomas M. Hicks.

 MT. J. Brake, of Petrolia, Ont, Cana da, writes:
 -Four years ago I had q severe attack of Brlght's disease, which brought me so low the doctor said nothing more could be done for me. I began to take Peruna and Manalin, and in three months I was a well man, and have con tinued so ever since."- J. Brake.
 At the appearance of the first symptom of kidney trouble Peruna should be talk en. This remedy strikes at once the very root of the disease It at once re- lieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stag nant blood, preventing the escape of serum from the blood Peruna stimu- lates the kidneys to exerete from the blood the accommodating poison, and thus prevents thee onyulslons which are sure to follow If the poisons are allowed to remain. It gives great vigor to the
