When satisfactory arrangements are concluded the mains will be extended, the power house removed to more commodious quarters, special efforts being now made to furnish the resi- dence portion of the city with gas. Newt. C'Neal of this city and Miss Ada Wood of St. Louis were married at s:3O Thursday evening in the Grown Hotel parlors, Rev. H. w. Robinson of the Episcopal church officiating.

 Charles H. Wilmans on Thursday evening received a notification from the secretary of state of his appoint ment by Governor Davis as one of the five state capitol commissioners. MT. Wilmans has been one of the chief executives most influential support CTS and his business qualifications fit him for the duties of the honor and position conferred. Though we are not supporter of Davis, we admire his habit of standing by his friends.
 The Bradford correspondent of the Searcy Times says: "The St. L., l. M. & s.

It is now near 400 feet deep, and when they get the new depot built anyone most would mistake Bradford for Newport" Country correspondents usually write under nom de plume and we would suggest that the Brad ford scribe sign himself IA wind bag from a flag station."

Douglas, James Waters and other members of the family were sit ting on the porch, and when the fusilade commenced Douglas remark ed, "I guess it will come off," and al- so commenced shooting. When their pistols were emptied and the smoke of battle had cleared away it was found that no one was hurt and the participants resumed their usual Sun day siesta.

She was so ab- sorbed in her work that she neglected to give her health proper care-failed to take warning that the symptoms of approaching kidney trouble gave her, the sallow complexion and torpid liver. But Wine of Cardui cured her the same as it has cured thousands of others and Mrs. Mcdonald has written this letter in order that other suffering women may secure from Wine of Cardui the same relief she got from it.
 "For four years ] suffered with torpid liver until my skin looked yellow and dull. then found my kidneys were affected and had severe pains across my back, and felt

 No suffering woman can afford to ignore such letter as Mrs. Mcdonald writes. Her plans and advice have proved valuable in building up one of the greatest women's organizations in the United States and she takes time to give advice which she knows will help you.
 Do not delay in securing this medi- cine. There is nothing to gain and everything to lose by delay. The choice is before you. Will or will you not secure relief now by taking Wine of Cardui? All druggists sell s1 00 bottles of Wine of Cardui as well as 25c pack ages of Thedford's Black -Draught.

 As an evidence of the awful con- dition of the streets of this city, an incident may be cited which occurred Friday night on Laurel street. A rut became so deep that the water pipe connecting the main was left exposed and passing wagon bursted the pipe, allowing stream of water to play upon the house of s. Brasch through out the night. The family thought it was raining and were not cognizant of what had happened until morning came around.
 The Keel bill, exempting Newport from the effects of the three mile prohibition law, was defeated in the Senate Wednesday morning by a vote of 19 to 8. In the words of Senator Norwood: "It is not right, it is not just and it is undemocratic that the little town of Jacksonport should rule the city of Newport in this matter. The liquor men at Newport had al- ready paid into the treasury the sum of SIP, ,500, and these prohis were now undertaking to say that they should not exercise the rights and privileges guaranteed to them under the law"
