His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo Mont
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrh9a
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be.
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain s Col
ic, Colera and Diarrhea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the ground
in great agony and in u few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good effect
of the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight,
That one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel CRATE

being at hand suggests this item. For

frOm lNG llNllt ttvNA 'dfNNsN'
Ex-Governor Dan w. Jones and
Arthur NeiIl, acting as the attor'
news of the historical committee
of the United Confederate Neter-
ans of Arkansas, yesterday filed
in the Pulaski circuit court, see
ond division, a petition for writ
of mandamus against State Audit,
or y. G. Monroe to force the issue
on the validity of the $3.50 appro-
priation for the collection OF a
roster of the names of COnfeder-
ate soldiers Of Arkansas, which
was vetoed with nearly 100 other
bills by Governor Davis on May
%. Summons will issue against
the auditor and the matter will be
brought before the court at an
early date.
Attorney General George w.
Murphy, who will represent the
auditor on behalf of the state in
the case, stated yesterday that his
course wOuld he to answer the
petition as soon as possible and
TO submit the question to the
court, by an agreed statement OF
facts, after the examination of sew
eral witnesses regarding the time
of the presentation of the contest
ed bill. Whatever may be the
decision of Judge Winfield, 1t is
the avowed purpose to carry the
matter to the supreme court for
decision, and either the attorney
general or the plaintiffs will ap'
peal.
The decision Of the supreme
court regarding the Confederate
roster bill will affect all the other
bills vetoed in like manner by
1he governor in the proclamation,
which has been dubbed "The On
nlbus.'
Several intricate legal questions
arse in the case. Some Of them
are:
Whether Sundays are excepted
in the twenty.day limit for pre-
sentation of bills to the governor
after the legislatures adjourn.
ment.
Whether the governor has the
constitutional power to veto with
ont making separate proclama-
tion and stating therein his rea-
sons for the veto, the Confederate
roster bill having been vetoed in
n single typewriter sentence, with
the exception of the caption to
the proclamation, which applied
TO all the bills. This incidentally
includes the question of whether
it is possible to go behind the
governors veto for any cause.
Whether the bills were legally
presented to the governor, and
whether he did not waive present
alton by selecting out of Il large
number Of bills, by means of lists
or personal inspection, certain
ones which he favored.

JpG Davis In Town.
From the Fort Smith Times,

From the Fort Smith Times,
jeff Davis was in the city Sunday on
his way TO Fayetteville To attend the
commencement exercises of the state
university He was accompanied by
Judge J. V. Bourland who was reward
ed for his faithful service to Davis in
the last gubernatorial campaign by be-
ing appointed the chancery judge of
this district Davis was driven to the
Hotel Main and Immediately went on
dress parade in front Of the hotel but
sat there for full half hour unnoticed.
Then Col. John Howell came along and
shook hands with the chief executive,
and, sympathizing with him in his lon
illness. sat down and began chatting
with him. Davis keenly felt the lack
of attention paid him and remarked that
the newspaper representatives were not
flocking around him like flies around a
lump of sugar in an effort to secure
from him RI expression of opinion on
current events, and that there WAS no
civic expression of delight at his com
ing in the way of brass band or ad-
dress of welcome by the mayor. He
emphatically, though in very prudent
tone of voice informed Col. Howell that
he did not want the friendship of the
people of Fort Smith or Sebastian coun-
ty and that he would be reelected in
spite of the opposition of this section of

Some Good Advice.

My son, before the present cam paign for governor is concluded 1t is going to get mighty warm, judging from present indications, and between the partisans of the diffrent candidates there is bound to develop more or less bitterness and i'll feeling. Keep cool, do not be swayed by passion or prejudice, but investigate the situation calm ly and deliberately and show that you are worthy the right of suf- frage. And above all, do not al- low your zeal for any candidate, who, the chances are, never heard of you, cause you to insult life long friends who may happen not to look at the matter just as you do. -Springdale News.

Some Sensible Talk.

In an address before q farmers meeting not long ago one of the speakers said: Asa rule the farm CT has no frmer friends than the country press. The home paper is distinctly the farmers own paper, supported directly and indirectly by farmers who compose the back bone of the subscription list, and largely for what the enterprising merchants advertise. Now, broth CTS, let Us not forget our friends. Let us see that our subscription is paid up the first of January of each year in advance if we can af- ford to do it. The man or the pa per that fights my battles shall have my support. Another thing, the merchants who advertise are the ones who make 1t possible for them to get out good local paper, and men or firms who are too pe- nurious to advertise and help the local press have no right to the farmers patronage. 1 propose to go to a live advertiser and 8 man who will do his share in support ing local press, rather than buy of a man who proposes to take all and give nothing in return. If farmers as a class would support their friends the others would soon get out of business.

About Good Roads.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.
 The cost to this country of main taining our authority in the Phil lippine Islands for one year would build more than 16,000 miles of macadam roads without the assist ance of state, county or precinct.
 It is we'll known that farmers pay more tax than city people in proportion to the value of their property. The cities get their tax money back, because salaries, cost of pulic perks, and practically all governmrnt expenditures are dis bursed in cities. When farmers pay their taxes there is very little of it that ever returns to them. Therefore, is it all unreasonable that the government should aid the states and counties in building country roads? Just how this mat ter may be arranged we are not prepared to say. It is plain, how ever, that an economical admins tration could save enough money from present direct and indirect taxes to go far towards enabling localities to build good roads. Surely it is not necessary, as is now the case, that the government expenditures should be ten times IS great as when the population was one-half what 1t is now.
