Bad Storm In Sebastian County.

Bad Storm In Sebastian County
Special to the Fort Smith Times.
Montreal, Ark. June IA cyclone
passed less than two miles from here
late Saturday evening and much dam
age was done to the surrounding coun-
try. The path of the storm lay along
a small creek and the Frisco track.
The timber in the path of the storm was
twisted off, large trees were uprooted
and nothing escaped the tornado that
lay in its path. At one place along the
Frisco track its course was up a noun
tain side and the sight, after the storm
resembled a man 5 head after his hail
had been closely cut.
A man by the name of Baker wa'
killed and several others were injured
In many places along the Frisco th'
wires are down and all creeks are ou
of their banks.

Judge Little win Not Be Candidate
For Governor.
IN ihe Li1Ile Rock Gnzette

From the Little Rock Gazette.
Congressman John s. Little has
declined to he a candidate for gov
ernor, although he was strongly
urged to enter the race. The
news of his declnatiOn was CON
firmed yesterday by Capitol Com
missioner II. w. McFarlane of
Greenwood, who is a close per-
sOnal and political friend of the
congressman. Judge Little's re-
fusal to enter the gubernatOral
lists recalls an explanation he gave
several years ago, when he was
asked to submit his name as a
candidate for governor. In de-
clining to rnn for chief executive,
Congressman Little said he was
like the man who attended church,
when the preacher called on all
present who wanted to go to heav-
en- 10 rise. All rose except one
individual. Then the preacher
requested that all who wished to
90 to hell arise. The same man
again kept his seat.
"How is this9' inquired the
minister, speaking to the unmov-
able fellow. "You do not seem
to want to go to either heaven or
hell.n
NO." replied the imperturb,
able listener, "I'm satisfied to stay

the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain III passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled TO go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists i'll ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill

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 a very severe diarrhpa
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 a 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 complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel CRATE
full The season for bowel disorders
being at hand suggests this item. For
sale by John O Kane.
