PREPARING PENSION VOUCHERS

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-The force in the auditor of state's office is busy just now making out the vouchers for payment of pensions to Arkansas Confederate soldiers.
 The list this year shows slight in- crease over last year, there being 6,15O pensioners to be paid, as against $500 last year. In all there is about $l62, ,0OO to be disbursed. The average amount paid to each veteran is be- tween $27 and $28. Disability, in stead of rank, decides what a veteran shall receive. In the pensions paid by the national government to the ex- federals a disabled colonel receives more than a disabled captain, and a disabled captain more than disabled private. h the pensions paid to ex- Confederates by the state of Arkan- sas disabled private receives more than colonel who is not so badly disabled as the private.
 The pension vouchers are sent tc the county clerks of the various counties and by them distributed tC the veterans. It is thought all of tht vouchers will have been mailed by the last of this month

SOUGHT TO WRECK
 BATESvILLE PASSENGER.
Williams Place Obstruction on Track Near Earnheart to Derail Pas
 senger Train.

Some one made deliberate attempt to wreck tbe south bound passenger train just below Earnheart Thursday evening at trestle No. g, says the Batesville Bee. The parties had se- cured a couple of locust crossties and placed them in the track in manner that would have caused a serious ac- cident and perhaps number of peo- pie killed or seriously hurt had not the plans of the wreckers been thwarted
 Late in the afternoon about thirty minutes before the time for the train to arrive, w. H. Harris, who is build ing the spur to Leiper & Mills quarry discovered an unusual obstruction on the track and upon investigation he found that it had been so arranged that the engine would have been thrown from the track had he not made the discovery. MT. Harris at once went to work and after some time succeeded in removing the tim l bers.
 There is no clue to this attempt to destroy life and property, but it is truly hoped that something may lead up to the identity of the williams.

Navigation on Black river is almost at stand still so far as Poplar Bluff is concerned, says the Citizen. The Alma Jane has been taken to Current river and the Bernice is cruising around in the neighborhood of Black Rock.
 This leaves the Roy the only big boat here and it is at present dry docked for heavy repairs. There are a number of small craft, such as pleasure launches, etc. left, but that is about all. The boats will probably be returned here later.

cage was addressed to the Endeayorers
Of New YORK state through their state
paper, Empire State Notes. 1t is as
follows:
Ny Dear Fellow Workers:
want to extend TO you my hand Of CO.
operation ana at the same time assure you
Of my deep gratitude for your splendid
achievement Of increase for Christian En-
deavor. 1t surely is an added earnest Of
larger things TO come. Never has the
need OF men physically and spiritually
been the subject OF private talk and pub
lie considers ton and the object Of effort
90 much as now, and never 80 profound
and widespread the conviction that the
one help for that need IN all its perplex-
ing complications is Jesus Christ. Beiiey-
ing that no labor is worthy which does
not somehow aid in bringing the world Of
needy men to Him who alone can gave.
let Us wisely study and continually work
that our great organization may nors
and more be effective TO that end Yourt
sincerely.

have increased in annual value from

STORY OF EAU DE COLOGNE.
Famous Toilet Preparation Was Discovered by
an Italian.
Pail Mall Gazette

Pail Mall Gazette.
How many of those who use eau de
cologne, daily, one might almost say
hourly, are aware of the fact that it
was invented by an Italian and not by
son of the fatherland which gives it
name?
Almost 200 years ago an Italian
priest, Giovan Maria Farina, whose
name is seen on every authentic bottle,
eked out his modest fortune by selling
perfumery, little art objects and so
on, at Domodessola. In 1902, happen
ing to be in Cologne and making use
of some OF the finest vegetable produc-
tions Of the country, he discovered the
secret of the miraculous perfume,
which has never been revealed TO this
day, except to his descendants. He
soon devoted himself to the sale of his
invention, which was so satisfactory
that, needing help in its manufacture,
he had his brother and nephew join
him from Italy.
The increasing fame OF the water
brought increasing difficulties of riv-
airy. New firms, who stole his name,
his trademarks, stamps and go on,
sprang up like mushrooms, but they
could not steal his secret. The diff
Guilty OF the name they overcame by
importing a peasant from Italy, who
declared his name was Farina, and
made him head OF the firm. One OF
the distinctive marks of the true Far
ina cologne are the words Opposite
Julich Platz." The spurious manu-
factories come as near as possible and
put " near" next" "behind," abe.
fore" Julich PLATE, or Opposite"
Platz with a somewhat similar name.
These maneuvers, of course, in the
lapse of years have had their effect, so
that half OF the cologne bought in the
city of it's birth is not made according
to Giovan Maria's recipes. In buying
your cologne always look for "oppo-
site Julich Platz." Those are the
magic words which will enable you to
breathe your cologne as the old priest
inteuded, to the glory OF his own faith.
erland and the enrichment Of his
adopted country.
