SHOW THE TRUTH

Republicans, forecasting events
from the September elections in Yer
mont and Maine, should not allow
themselves to be overconfident Of re-
suits of the presidential election In
November.
There is no doubt as to the fact that
Roosevelt will win, but he ought to
be given great vote of confidence, an
outpouring of national affection and
trust, aside from mere majority of
electoral votes.
A rebuke is deserved for the men
who so falsify facts and sentiments,
SO distort, prevaricate and invent as
to make it appear that Theodore
Roosevelt is anything but the strong,
thoughtful, loyal American citizen
that he is.
The silly bosh about "fmperialis p
and "militarism," the groundless fiub-
dub as to fancied personal dictation
by their executive to the American
people should be rebuked by the PEG,
pie in such manner as can never be
forgotten.
Let Republicans appear en- masse at
the polls in November, to show what
they think of Theodore Roosevelt.

with broad powers, which, in the ma
ture Of things, must steadily grow;

4 WORD OF COMFORT
To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism in all its various forms, in. cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects a speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific prin- ciples which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts drug habit which leads eventually to decline of the physi- cal and mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and 1t is a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the pores and allows the healing, soothing oils to penetrate the sore, infamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti- nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used as directed. Paracamph can be procured at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and S1 oo bottles. Write for book of testimo- nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company Louisville, Ky, U. $. A.

The most disastrous fire that has occurred in Newport since the big compress confagration of 1898 was the one discovered in the upper portion of the An derson elevator about 9:20 o'clock Monday night.
 The blaze was discovered by railroad men in the local yards, and the alarm immediately given by the footing of the switch en- zine whistles, which in very remarkably short time attracted crowd of several hundred peo- pie to the scene.
 The fire department made good time in the run of about three blocks and soon had the hose connection made at the corner of Front and Main streets and a stream of water playing upon the burning building, but by this time the flames had gained such leadway that it seemed the Xwater only added fuel to the already doomed building.
 In avery short time the fire had spread to the Lemp Brewing Company's warehouse adjoining the elevator, and it did not then require much time to communi- cate to the big freight depot of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain < Southern railway, the pumping plant and the big frame elevator and warehouse which stood upon the banks of White river.
 The reflection of the brilliant hues against the skies was dis cernable for miles, and railroad men arriving here from Hoxie Wednesday morning stated that it looked like the whole section was in flames.
 When the fact became appar- ent that the fire department was utterly powerless to handle the rapidly spreading confagra- tion the switch engines in the wards began removing the hun

MURDER THEORY
 NOT SUSTAINED.
Exploding Lamp is Now Given as Means of Dr. Lightle's
 Death at Searcy.

About 12::30 Sunday night Marshal Bob Jones discovered the wood shed of Dr. R. G. Lightle on fire and at once hast ened to the scene, says the Scar cy Citizen. Messrs. T. E. Prew- ett, Sam Brassfield, Eugene Cy- pert and others saw the fire and were soon on the spot. Upon reaching there the men discov- cred an odor, the like of which they had never before smelled and upon looking closely found something that they thought looked like a bone. Procuring a long pole, they struck the object and discovered that it was a human being. After pouring about fifty buckets of water on it they succeeded in dragging the burned object from the flames, but not until both arms and both legs were entirely burned off and the brain exposed. So badly was the body mutilated that rec ognition was impossible. A short time ago Dr. Stilwell had done some dental work for Dr. Lightle and this work was identified by Dr. Stilwell, also some article of clothing that he had seen him wear. His watch, physicians thermometer and keys aided in the Identification. MT. Barton Watkins left him at II o'clock last night and Dr. Lightle re- marked to him that he could not retire until he filled his lamp.
 The supposition is that he went out of the back door with his lamp to the wood shed to fill it and that there the lamp exploded and the shock from the explosion caused him to fall on the wood, where he was burned to death. The back door of the house was found open, the cover turned down, and his cuffs and hat lying on the bed, every indication points to the fact that he was ready to retire. It was hoped fer some time that he had been called out, being a practicing physician, but when time passed on and he still did not return and the above identification being made, nothing could be done but accept the facts and submit to the inevitable.
 Dr. Lightle was a member of a very prominent family in Scar cy, president of the Board of Health, deacon in the Presbyte- rian church and practicing physician. The whole of Searcy mourn with the family because of the horrible fate of this useful young man. Mrs. Lightle has been telephoned for and will arrive tonight at 8:30. His re- mains will probably be laid to rest tomorrow morning.
 To his wife and two little daughters who are away on a 1 visit to relatives, we extend our deepest sympathy, also to the poor bereaved mother, sister and brother.
