LETTER TO MIR. J. w.
 GRUBBS, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: You are interested in the prosperity of your town. You can contribute to it materi- ally, and give it a far more pros porous look at the same time.
 Perhaps the public property needs a good coat of paint.
 Devoe will supply that coat with two thirds of the number of gallons required of any other. Devoe is all paint and full meas ure. Devoe is the strongest paint known. Devoe will take care of the property, in the long run, for half the money required by any other.
 The reason is stated above; Devoe is all paint and full meas ure; the strongest paint known.
 E. D, Jewel, Corry, Pa., paint ed his house 5 years ago with a mixed paint; took IA gallons. Last spring he repainted with Devoe; bought 14 gallons and had 4 left. Saved S15 to S20, for painting costs two or three times as much as the paint.
 Yours truly,
 F. w. DEvoE & Co.,, 95 New York and Chicago.

FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic Has Achieved Such Wide
 Popularity.

Established for nearly a cen- tury and read regularly by more than 5O0,000 persons in the west and southwest, the Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable dis tinction, "Favorite Home Pa per-"
 It is great because it has al- ways aimed to inform, instruct and entertain it's readers on all matters of public and home in- terest. In 1904 it will be espe- cially interesting and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for it:
 This is campaign year and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re- ports of the great national and state conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports of the election, etc.
 You will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30 to December 1, 1904.
 You will be interested in and kept well informed by the farm visitor, a regular supplement of the paper, prepared especially for the farmer and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every line of activity, and through the un- surpassed news and special ser vice of the twice-a-week Repub- lie you will not be disappointed.
 In short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest to women, children and household suggestions the Twice-a-Week Republic easily leads among the weeklies of the great West.
 If you want the Twice-a-Week Republic sent to your address, order it at once direct from the office at St. Louis, Mo-, or through your local newsletter. It costs only S1 a year.

 Any woman who Is silently suffering untold pains because she is too sensitive to undergo physicians examination and treatment can find no excuse for not securing relief when Wine of Car dui is offered to her. There is no pulp licity to deter her. She can take Wine of Cardui in the privacy of her home, with as much assurance of a final cure as though dozen doctors recommended it. Many physicians do recommend Wine of Cardui to their patients.
 Why not get $1 .00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist today?

thought better to try the men under
the United States statutes rather than
under the territorial law The latter
affixes the penalty of death for train
robbery. while under the United
States laws the maximum Is twenty
years in prison. As no lives we're
lost in the hold-up and as the robbers
secured little or no booty. II was
thought that II might be more diff
