MISS MOSHER'S LECTURE.

Miss Rena Mosher delivered an interesting lecture at the Methodist church Wednesday evening. She was presented to the audience by Mrs. M. A. Dorsey, who said the distinguish ed speaker needed no introduc- tion to our people, as we all knew so much of her great work we almost felt we knew her person ally.
 Miss Mosher said she was not hing to preach a sermon on the

IRON MOUNTAIN WASHOUTS


 The Iron Mountain is making every effort to repair the wash outs on the Missouri division. The greatest difficulty lies be- tween Bismarck and Williams vile, a distance of about fifty miles, the most serious washout being at Piedmont. There are numerous small streams in that locality.
 At present the Iron Mountain is detouring it's trains by the Bald Knob branch to Fair Oaks, thence over the Cotton Belt to Delta, Mo, from which some trains go by the Belmont branch to Riverside, and others cross at. Thebes and go to St. Louis by the Illinois division.
 It is probable that the main line will not be opened for four or five days. All trains are now running about ten hours late. Little Rock Democrat.

DAMAGE AT
 POCAHONTAS.
Railroads Crippled, No Trains Having Gone North For
 Two Days.

Pocahontas, Ark, March 30. Current river, about eight miles north of here, is very high. All bottom farms are overhowed and a great deal of damage done to tenant houses and fencing. Quite a number of hogs and cattle have been drowned, and all people living in the bottoms have de-. serted their homes and moved to the high lands. More than 100 feet of the dump on the St. Louis, Memphis 6 Southeastern rail- road north of the river is washed out,. and about a mile of the track between Current and Pourche rivers is covered with water from 6 to 12 inches deep.
 No trains have gone north from here for two days, and it will be several days before the damage can be repaired, even after the water subsidies.
 Black river here is rising rap idly. It is already over the bot toms on the east side, and the low lands in the southern part of town, where the mills are located, is overhowed.
 All the mills are shut down and the hands are busy keeping the logs from the river. Speice Bros. had over 100000 hoops on the yard at their mill, and the switch being covered with water the railroad company would not furnish them with cars, and they were forced to haul them to higher grounds with teams. The river will rise here for two more days, if no more rain falls.

CONTESTS PROMISED.
Wood Men are Only Beginning to Fight for Victory Says the
 Little Rock Democrat.

Little Rock Democrat. On the face of the returns re- ceivgd, Jeff Davis has the great u lmber of the counties, and
 ns a delegate vote of 308 out
 22. Judge Wood s managers,
 Eever, are claiming the nomi-
 tion on the allegation of fraud
 a number of counties where
 majorities are close, and it is
 aimed that when the returns
 Ee purged he will have enough btes to insure his nomination.
 The Little Rock Democrat says that contests are inevitable in so many counties that the nomina- tion is by no means assured to Davis, and will not be until after the state convention is held in Hot Springs in June, if it is then. The Wood men propose to fight to the last ditch and are conced- Ing nothing. The feeling is run hing high, and the appearances are that, like John Paul Jones, they have only commenced fighting. Gross frauds are al- legged, and the Wood managers say they will be proven, and this makes the outcome still a matter L of grave conjecture. Warm times (are in prospect. County conven- kions will be held Saturday. 4 Outside of governor the state Ticket appears to be as follows: Auditor, A. E. Moore of Faulk- ner county; associate justice, probably w. L. Moose; chief jus tice, Joe M. Hill leading, will be settled in convention; attorney Igeneral, Robert L. Rogers of Crawford county.
 The legislature, both senate ind house, is coming in largely 1.flti- Davis.
 BRUNDIDGE FOR SENATE.
 
 The most significant feature of Saturdays Democratic primaries in the state was the vote for gov- ernor in Benton county, the home of United States Senator James H. Berry. Before enter ing upon the campaign for a third term Gov. Davis announced publicly that he was also cam Ididate to succeed Senator Berry, whose fourth term expires two years hence. For that reason the governor made desperate efforts to carry Benton county, making three series of speeches in the county and sending several other speakers to help him.
 Now that his efforts were crowned with success it is con- ceded by well-informed politicians that Northwest Arkansas for the first time in thirty years will lose it's representative in the United States senate.
 It is freely admitted that other sections of the state will place candidates in the field to oppose Senator Berry and Gov. Davis when the senatorial campaign opens next year. The man most prominently mentioned to oppose, Gov. Davis for senator is Con- gressman s. Brundidge of Searcy.
 Gov. Davis carried Benton county by 245 majority.

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;
antisecptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injur-
les before inf ammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura-
ton and in one-third the time required
by the old treatment. Chamberlain s
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an anticeptic and when applied
to such injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness. Keep a 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
druggists.

The editor of the Forsyth Times, in
the last issue of that paper puts him
self on record in defense of gambling.
We thought that he would soon be COM
ing out boldly for the lawbreak-
ers if we would leave him to select
his own path, and sure enough, his
last issue was full of criticism and at
tempted r;dicule for those who have
taken a stand for law and order in our
town.
BY reading The Times now, the peo-
pie of this county no longer will find
it necessary to accept our statement
for it that The Times is the organ of
the grafters, boodlers, 1aw-breakers
and the like. 1t stands selfcon-
demned.
Last week during the holding of
court, gambling became so obnoxious
as to make it necessary to again call
the matter to the sheriff's attention;
but that good officer and citizen re-
fused to do anything to stop it. Com
plant was then made to the county
attorney with the request that an in
formation be filed, but that good off,
Ger and citizen also refused to take any
notice of the demand upon him until
the attorney general of the state had
been notified of the condition of at
fairs.
Now, since Mr.. Lyndes has received
a communication from the attorney
generals office, he is evidencing some
interest in the matter. Against his
will, of course.
1t is barely possible that the people
will have some voice in their own gov
eminent when the town has finally
beer cleansed of this parasitic gang of
gamblers and loafers.

resent united democracy, and with
the confidence of the party. Despite
divisions in the past, this convention
clearly demonstrated that all of the
old sores of the party have healed and
not even a scar remains. Democracy
is united. When one recalls the con-
vention held in Butte four years ago
for similar purpose, and then COM
pares it with that held in Great

clusion to which he can come-what-

The democratic state convention held
last week in Great Falls did it's work
we'll. The delegates were representa-
tive men who had the interests of their
state and party at heart. Many of
them were well-to-do farmers who left
their work and paid their expenses
for the sake of good citizenship. These
men performed their task with credit
and proved themselves worthy of the
trust reposed in them. The delegates
selected to attend the national conven.
ton are satisfactory to the party. In
the selection of Governor Toole and
Senators Clark and Gibson as dele
gates at large by unanimous vote the
convention obeyed the will of the party.
The honor and compliment were due
these men for the splendid work they
have done for the party and the peo-
pie as whole. The others are demo.
Gratis of prominence and leaders in
their section of the state. In electing

With a view to eventual retirement
from the outer positions the Rus

stakes concealed among the high Chi

the lines were thrown into confusion.

Today's dispatches indicate that
the tide of battle around Lao Yang
has turned in favor of the Japanese.
With tremendous and sustained as
saults on his right and center and
threatened on the rear with a heavy
force which crossed the Taitse river,
General Kuropatkin has been forced
to fall back from his first line of
battle to the fortified position he had
established in the town of Lao Yang
st. Petersburg dispatches say that
the Russians had withstood the artil-
lery and infantry attack from dawn
to midnight, but that the Japanese
pressure was too great to permit its
execution. Kuropatkin feeling proba-
bly, that a retrograde movement at
that time might result in a rout.
A dispatch from Toxic. however,
bringing the battle up to this after
noon, says the Russian right aud
center is now falling back pursued
by the japanese. Kuropatkin's object
in crossing the Taitse river is evi-

Lao Yang the Russian base and the
northward movement, which if sue
cessful would cut off Kuropatkiu
