LOOK OUT
FOR MALARIA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol-
low the wet season and the high waters
which have prevailed all over the
South. Malarial and kindred fevers
will develope to an alarming extent.
General health conditions will be bad;
every precaution should be taken.
The System Must Especially Be For.
tiasd to Resist usIsrial Attacks.
A trial of fifty years has demonstrate
ed that for this emergency, DIR. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is
the fighting element in the blood, and
the kind Of iron supplied by DR.. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the
system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don't wait until
you are attacked. Take it now and for
tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard
and, at the same time, it is the best
tonic and invigorant for the entire sys-
tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis
turbs the system and its cumulative
poison begets greater physical troubles
than those it is employed to remedy.
Where bad case of chronic Malaria
already exists, take DIR. HARTER'S

guaranteed to cure. Price so cents.

Company regrets to state that GER
tain of its conductors, who were
members of Conductors Organi-
zation, and certain Of it's brakemen,
who are members of the Brother
hood Of Railway rrainmen, have,
without notice to the management
as to time or date, left the service
of the company today, giving their
reason therefor as follows:
lst. That no train OF over 80
cars, loaded or empty, shall be
run with two engines, without
double pay, and double overtime,
has beeh declined.
End. That the percentage of in
crease OF pay as demanded by
them has been declined.

CotHinlGtce5 OI engineers ana ure-

after discussion, amicably agreed
on rules Of service, and percent

ry to the engineers and firemen
and to the company, no. rule of
management entering into the con-
ferences.
Rules Of service and rates of
pay for overtime were mutually
agreed upon by this company and
a committee representing the con-
ductors aud brakemen, but the
company denied the right of the
employee to dictate a rule for the
management OF it's property and
believing that the percentage of
increase demanded by these EN-
ployees was unreasonable, like
wise declined it.
Since April lst the conductors

The Strike.

The strike OF the freight con.
ductors aud brakemen on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad is en-.
crossing the attention of the pub
lie along the line of that road to
an extent which has not been an
proxlmated by any event in it's
history with the exception of the
lease or the road to the Southern
railway company. All classes of
people are discussing the strike
and all are specializing about the
causes which led up to it's culmi
nation and the probable length of
it's duration. TIE general inter-
est in the strike is intensified bv
the fact that this is the first strike
that has ever struck. the ''old re-
liable. For fifty years it has per-
formed its functions as a public
carrier with varying degrees of
satisfaction to its patrons. 1t has
had a somewhat checkered career.
1t has met many misfortunes and
has encountered many sore trials
and tribulations. It's progress
has been retarded by changing
fortunes and, at times, peril and
disaster have confronted it.
Through all of its periods of
trouble the people along it's line
have felt for it that kind of tender
solicitude and kindly interest that
grows out of mutual depend
ence and mutual support. The
officials of the road have been our
sort OF people, bound to us by
ties of friendship and brotherly
sympathy. Our people knew them
and they knew us. The employees
have been selected from our fami
lies and generations of them,
fathers and sons, grew npi in daily
contact and association with ii
families Of the roads patrons.
The old road has been considered
as sort of family property in
which every body had an interest.
In view of all these things the
strike has awakened a feeling of
deep regret in the minds of all
classes of our people. Every body
regrets it and all would rejoice to
see the differences that led up to
it adjusted to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
At this time the strike is fully
on, A few freight trains are be-
ing carried All roads leading in-
TO the M. Il 0. are still receiving
freight for it. The mail and passen-
ger trains are running regularly
and there is no prospect of their.
being discontinued. Travel is un-
interrupted and nobody need fear
any trouble about going aud com
ing
We do not know enough about
the strike and it's causes to sit in
judgment upon the merits of the
case. AS public journal which
desires to do full justice to all
persons at all times, we can not,
pre- end to say which side to the
great controversy is right nor
which is wrong. The road is a
necessity to the country. Both
the employees and the officials are
essential to it's operations. The
courts have been invoked to de-
termine between them and it is
our devout hope that the courts
may not err but d. full justice to
all concerned.

A Successful Convention,
The State Sunday School Makes
good Showing.

The twenty fourth annual State
Sunday School Convention, which
has just been i'll session in Can
ton, was an evident Of unusual
Importance to the great body of
Christian workers in our State.
The meeting was characterized by
a spirit of earuestness aud zeal
which promises we'll for the future
of this great department of religi-
Gus activity. The general ver-
diet of those who were permitted
to be present was that the ses-
sions were both intellectual aud
spiritual feasts, and it is thought
that the work is now on frmer
basis than for some years past.
Unfortunately a conflict of dates
and misunderstanding with re-
gard to proposed change in time,
operated to keep many away who
had purposed to come, notwith-
standing this, however, the dele
CATION was larger than last year,
and prospects for a greatly in
creased interest in the work du-
ring the coming year are bet
ter than were thought possible be-
fore the Convention. The work
done by the speakers was of un-
usual excellence. The workers
from the International body were
superb, and to say that our own
native talent did not suffer by the
comparison is to express but light
ly the satisfaction with which
their labOrs were received.
More money was raised with
which to carry on the work in the
state than was ever secured be-
fore, about twice the sum SUBJ
scribed last year. The full official
roster is as follows: Isaac D. Bor-
ders, president, Brooksville Judge

dent; Eugene A. Howell, Canton.

members of his family on May
9Th, to renter the remains Of his
father and mother. Arrangements
for these sad rites had been made
some four months nrior and the
grievance com lnittees had advance
information of the date fixed upon.
When Mr.. Clarke reached Fred
rick, Maryland, on the morning Of
May 5th, message from the
heads of the orders of conductors
and trainmen awaited him, to
which lie repli ID AS follows:
81 found your message of Nay
9th, awaiting me on my arrival at
eleven-thlrty today, at Fredrick,
Maryland, with the remains of my
father and mother, accompanied
by funeral party of f .mily, accord
Ing to arrangements made last
January. You must realize the
lmpossibi.ity of my meeting you
on the eighth in st. Louis, in ac-
cordance with 'your request and
the sorrowful mission | am on and
which all Of us must perform for
those we love, is, | am sure, suffi-
cient reason for your agreeing to
date of May 9th, in Mobile, where
| am compelled to 60 from here
on business. | will be pleased to
meet you there and confer fully
about all matters at ISSUE"
While ell route to Mobile to
fulfill his engagement on May 9th,
he received telegram from the
chiefs of the orders demanding
that he come to st. Louis. This
was impossible, in view of imper-
atlve business awaiting him at
Mobile aud knowing that hs could
handle~the business in hand and
demands Of these committees on
the same day, he wired them that
he would be pleased to meet them
on Nay 9th, and believed an am
icable solution of all differences
could be reached. On arrival at
Mobile on the morning of the 9th,
at 6 o'clock he found the follow
ing message awaiting him:
1--WE decline to come to Mobile
and discuss matters, and unless
you accede to our demands at
once trouble will ensue."
simultaneously with the re.
celpt OF this message, Mr.. Clarke
was informed that the men had
received an order to leave the SER
vice and wer4 then actually aban
doring their duties.
"From expressions have
heard | am sure many of our en-
ployes deeply regret that the or
der for strike was given.
"Ihe management equally de-
plores the situation on account of
the property, on account of the
employees and on account of the
Inconvenience tn which it's patrons
aud friends are subjected, and We
all hope for an early aud amicable
termination.
"You, OF course, know that the
general manager gave this employ
es who went out on this strike at
10 o'clock Saturday morning the
option of returning to the service
without prejudice at any time
prior to Z O'Clock this morning.
| hope many of them have availeL
themselves Of the offer, although
| am not in a position to say just
how many have done So"

Public School Opens.

Enrolment FIRST week reached $50
pupils. This is the largest attendance
in the history of Ritzvil.e. The teachers
this year are: Prof. J. H. Perkins prin-
cipal, Miss Griffin assistant in high
school, Miss Mayer grammar, Misses
Getz and Day first and second inter
mediates, Misses Newland, Moorehouse,
Hunter and Williams lower primar ies.
The enrolment in the high school was
Sc first day. This means that the enroll
ment in the high school will reach IS
this year. There are only three grades
in the high school now but the fourth
grade will be added next year and Ritz
vile will make application to be put on
the accredited list of high schools.
Many new faces are noticed among the
high school pupils, many parts OF the
county being represented. Pupils and
teachers seem to enjoy their new sur
roundngs and Prof. Perkins is the hap
piest man in town. 1t is encouraging to
the taxpayers to know that an effort is
being made to give their children the
very best. Another very noticeable feat
ure is the effort being put forth by many
young men and women to build Il good
high school in their home town by re-
turning to school here instead of going
away to college. 1t all means better
town, for nothing brings more people to
a town than good school facilities.
The board of education consisting Of
Messrs. w. r. Pete ), o. X. Holcomb and
w. H. Martin ave made many COM
mendable Improvements in the buildings
both interior and exterior this year and
in the face of general conditions it was
no small task. The identifying of the
grounds was placed in charge OF Prof.
Perkins and he has performed the trust
in very satisfactory manner and at this
time indications point to a most success
full school year. The new principal
comes to us from the nearby city OF
Davenport, where he has built up one of
the finest schools in the state. He is re-
ligiously devoted to the work in Which
he takes genuine pleasure in promoting
and raising to higher standards. The
present faculty is not an experiment but
is composed of a strong force of teachers
who have passd through sufficient expert
ence to eminently qualify them for The
various positions they occupy an the
confidence expressed in their ability as
instructors is encouraging to all. From
now on there will be plenty to occupy
the mind and daylight hours of our boys
and girls and it is to be hoped they may
rise to the occasion, embracing the gold
en- opportunity to acquire that which once
obtained cannot be lost good cduCa.

CATE WITHDRAWS FROM
 CONTEST FOR SPEAKER
Hon. John Keel And Other Supporters Of Craighead County Candidate Flock To Support Of Toney
 Of Pine Bluff.

Hon. w. w. Cate of Jonesboro, Craighead county, wired the Toney delegation Friday the announcement of his withdrawal from the race for speaker of the next house, says the Little Rock Gazette. As the result of his withdrawal the Toney men claim that the better part of the Gate sup porters have gone to H. K. Toney, among them John Keel of Jackson county, who has been one of the foremost Cate lieutenants in the race up to the present. Though MT. Cate's Withdrawal had been rumored, it was the political sensation of the day, and Immediately brought matters between John Ike Moore of Phillips county and H. K. Toney to a head. The Headquarters of both candidates for speaker were 8 scene of hustle and activity throughout the day. Col. R. w. Crisp of Searcy, White county, was also in the city Friday, and an nounces that he is in the speakership race to the finish. He has not opened headquarters, but will do so when more of the representatives arrive. The fight between Moore and Toney has become intense.
 John Keel, formerly of the Cate forces, who has become one of the Toney lieutenants, assures that gen tleman the support of the votes pledged to Mir. Cate.
 Both sides are equally confident, and claim that success is certain. While the race managers are reticent as to giving figures, it is believed that none of the candidates for speaker has majority of votes pledged. The first ballot, however, it is thought, will settle the contest According to one man, not member of the house, it is "toss-up" as to who will pre- side over the deliberations of the low CT house.
 There are perhaps little more than one third of the members of the house in the city. Many were expected to arrive Saturday.
 The interest in the race for presi- dent of the senate has not created, so far, the same interest as that for the speakership. The candidates, all of whom have rooms at the Capital, are Joe Short of the Twenty second, Creed Caldwell of the Eleventh and Thomas Hardy of the Nineteenth. All announce that they are in to the finish.
