Democrats Win Arkansas.

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark. last
night says: The democrats carried Arkan-
sas today in the state election by plural
ity less than four years ago. when it was
1900. The result Is due to the unpopular
ity of Governor JEFF. Davis, who was a can
didate for reelection.
Davis was opposed by H II. Myers as the
republican candidate for governor. State
Chairman Holt, for the republicans, gave
out an interview tonight charging whole
sale intimidation. In spite of this feature
of the election, he said:
Davis vote will be the smallest ever re-
ceived by a democrat and the republican
vote the largest ever given a republican
candidate since the present Ubiquitous cleo
ton law was enacted.
This is largely due to the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt's nomination has the Endorsement
OF large element of the conservative bust
ness men of the state, who are satisfied
with the prosperity prevailing all over the
south.

pulled off after the report of The Star had
closed. The crowd Of spectators increased

ed 1000 persons were on the grounds. The

The auto races were somewhat of dis
appointment and of the eight events sched-
uled, only four were pulled off. The entries
in these races were few and even then some
of the entries did not show up on the track,
resulting in poorly-contested events, with
the possible exception of five-mile contest
for 81, coo gasoline machines. This produced
all five of the original entries, and was
won by Mr.. Kull III Ford ten-horse power
road car. The last race, ten miles, open to
all, was interesting for few laps, but only
three of the five contestants finished, the
winner being Mr.. j. w. Boyd, in an ordi-
nary ten-horse power Franklin.

hibitions were given by the Ford racing
machine, in charge of Mr.. A. L. Kull, and a

PANAMA CANAL IN EIGHT YEARS
Declaration That Zone Will Be in Good
Sanitary Condition Shortly.

dispatch from Asheville, N c., says:
Hezekiah A. Gudger, consul general to
Panama, arrived here Sunday for two
months furlough. He says he will take
an active part in the present campaign
and will offer his services to the state re-
publican committee to do the work outside
of his own congressional district.
In this distric. Mr.. Gudger is excluded
from active work on account Of the candi-
dacy of his brother, ]. NJ. Gudger, jr.,
democratic candidate for reelection to
Congress. Mr.. Gudger, when asked about
conditions at Panama said:
There is nothing to conceal with regard
to the isthmus. Everything Is moving along
smoothly and harmOniously. Owing to
little misunderstanding there was friction
about a month ago but that has been ami
cably settled and the relations between the
republic of Panama and the United States
officials on the isthmus are cordial. The
plans and surveys In regard to the canal
made by the French canal company are be-
Ing verified and work in earnest will likely
begin within the next twelve months. Per-
haps 1000 labOrers are now engaged in dig
ging and others will be employed as they
arrive on the isthmuS. No effort is being
made to induce laborers to come, the
time has not arrived when II Is beneficial
to employ a large number of men. There
will be no trouble In getting z sufficient
number of laborers, most of whom will
probably be brought from the West Indies.
Skilled laborers and the occupants of all
posts of responsibility will rule be
Americans.
The sanitary board has made wonderful
progress on the lines indicated in the canal
treaty, and will in short time have the
canal zone and the cities of Panama and
Colon in first-class sanitary condition.
Many think that the canal will be COM
pleted In eight years. while others do not
expect to see IT done within ten years. An
effort is being made to rid the isthmus of
mosquitoes. Swamps have been drained,
stagnant ponds of water have been obliter-
ated and breeding places for the insects
have thus been largely abolished.

able gathering will take place in Chi
cago. The Council Of the Union Of
American Hebrew Congregations will
then meet in biennial session. At least
one hundred and thirty congregations
may be represented by nearly five hun
dred delegates. Matters Of great impor-
tance to American Judaism will be de-
liberated on and no doubt important ac-
ton taken, which will largely influence
the course to be pursued to further the
interests and advance the prosperity Of
matters Jewish throughout the United
States.
For more than thirty-one years has
the Union Of American Hebrew Congre-
cations been in existence and what it
has accomplished may be judged by the
work that has been done and is being
carried on by the one hundred rabbis
who have graduated from the Hebrew
Union College, and who occupy pulpits
throughout the land. The great work
of bringing Jewish instruction to the
small communities and enabling the
children in the small towns to have
equal religious school facilities with
those Of large cities will Of course be a
subject Of careful consideration by the
council and nj doubt measures will be
adopted having for their object in
creased efforts to carry on the hitherto
successful efforts Of the union s commit
tee on circuit work.
The board Of delegates on civil rights
should receive strong support by the
council in its work looking to our gov
ernment's efforts to have all discrimina-
ton abolished in the matter Of passport
privileges abroad when such passports
are given to American, citizens Of Jewish
faith
The Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations may well be called the great
national Jewish organization of the
United States, and being such, it should
receive hearty support not only by the
congregations which are members Of the
Union, but by many others who can be-
come such by merely asking to be affil-
lated.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressing are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in one third the time required by the old treatment Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quikly. It also allays the pain and soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to mention the inconvenience and suffering which such injuries entail. For sale by all drug uggist.
