How to.Bulld Up a Town.

The following from the Fort Smith
Times will prove equally applicable
TO Van Buren, and should be constantly
borne In mind
1.-THE best way to build up town Ia
TO stand by every man In the place who
Is trying to do right and shows a ten
dency to promote the business interests
OF the town. Whenever q man Is doing
well do not decry him or try to tear him
down, II his business IL respectable and
legal and honestly conducted. All res
idents should DO partners for the best
interests Of the community and not OPP
ponents. Every business man who
treats his customers honestly and court
eously and fairly will get his share OF
trade, and the more business that can
be secured for the town by united effort
the better II will be for all, When q
town ceases TO grow II begins to die.
and the more people try TO kill each
other In business the more rapidly ruin
comes to all. Stand together for tho
advancement OF every deserving citizen.
II man shows ability to prosper do not
pull him back through jealousy or weigh
him down through cold indifference.
Patronize home manufacturers. Ifyou
do u portion Of the money comes back
10 you through himself or his employees
What you send away TO the foreign
manufacturer Ia gone for good and aye

FAIR CASE DEVELOPMENTS
Some Very Startling Ones win Soon be
forthcoming,
skulls Of Both Preserved VIII Upset
Testimony Given by Frenchmen
In New York Courts,

San Francisco Cal,April 1.-THE Can
this morning says that startling devel-
opments are promised In the Charles l.,
Fair will case, now before the New
York courts. 1t Is alleged that facts
have come to light here most damaging
to the testimony given a few days ago
in New York by Lucien Mas and Alfred
j. Morane, the Frenchmen, who were
called TO recount certain incidents at
tending the death OF Charles Fair and
his wife In France, which, II true, would
strongly tend to establish as fact mat
Mrs. Fair survived her husband and
thus left her own relatives the direct
heirs to the fortune inherited under
these circumstances from her hus-
band,
II has been learned, continues the
Call, from one OF those who are deeply
concerned in the Fair case that the
skulls OF the late Mr. aud Mrs. Fair
whose bodies were shipped back 10 san
Francisco after they had been relin-
pushed by the French authorizes, have
been preserved and are now in the cas-
tody OF responsible persons here, ready
TO be produced when the time comes
for refuting the evidence given In New
York. Whether they viii be sent 10
New York or remain here Is a matter
that is TO depend wholly upon a move
that is 10 be made shortly to have the
case transferred TO the courts OF this
city,
When the bodies Of the Fairs were re-
celved In New York from France they
were discovered to be- in such a de-
composed condition that il was deemed
advisable to hasten the funeral in san
Francisco, Ii is now stated that the
funeral was followed by an autopsy
that included the decapltation Of both
bodies-an operation that was made by
Drs. GallWey and Robinson
The testimony Of Mas and M0rane
that Mrs. Fair was living when they
approached the bodies and that blood
was streaming down one side Of her
face is oontradicted by concrete evil
dence-thc woman's skull. II can be
shown by the skull that such would
have been an impossibllity, II ia
claimed.
The skull OF Charles Fair, now IN tho
safe keeping Of his friends, was not
crushed in the manner described by the

ABOUT vlh0I

When blood is watery and thin, or,

ically wrong.
We would advise everyone who has
such symptoms 10 start at once to
take a proper remedy TO overcome this
trouble.
That remedy is Vinol, the greatest
and most modern tonic and rebuilder.
Vinol owes its virtue TO the fact that
IL contains in a highly concentrated
state the active curative principles ex.
tracted from Gods livers, the same ele.
ments that have made cod liver oil
famous for wasting diseases
These medicinal elements are dis.
solved in delicious table wiae 80 that
Vinol is most pal atable.
None OF the vile.smelling obnoxious
grease that charaoterizes cod liver oil
and frequently makes il an impossible
remedy for those who should take it,
Is found in Vinol.
We could relate many instances
where Vinol has done good and re.
stored the roses Of health to the pale
cheeks OF the sufferer.
The following is fair sample Of the
way people write in regard TO Vinol
For several months | suffered lassi.
tude and tired oil the time. Also a
sinking feeling in my stomach, which
nothing would relieve, and was pale
and weak. AS an experiment | tried
Vinol and II wrote pages ! could not
tell all it has done for me. "-MRs. A.
X. LA PRuscH, Amesbury, Mass.
Because we know Vin0l so we'll,
and because we know so surely
what II will do, and how II will
accomplish the good II does In a
scientific way, we unreservedly en-
dorse and recommend 1t, and in
every instance guarantee to refund
10 any one what they pay US for
Vinol If they do not find II entirely
satisfactory.
