MUST FURNISH
 STONE AS NEEDED.
Pfeiffer Company Given Time to
 Show What It Could Do.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of state capitol com missioners was held yesterday, but no action was taken in re- gard to the supplying of a stone to take the place of the Bates vile product, which the con- tractors allege is not furnished in sufficient quantities to meet their demands.
 The commissioners adjourned after transacting routine busi- ness, to meet October 1, at which time the Pfeiffer Stone Company, owners of the Bates vile quarry, will have had time to demonstrate whether they are able to supply the material, which the contractors allege they need and are not getting. During the interim Batesville stone will be used.
 There is no question in the minds of the commissioners as to the advisability of using the Batesville stone. All are agreed that it is the best material and want it used, and the whole sit uation hinges on the proposition as to whether the quarry can fur nish the contractors with stone in sufficient quantities.

Weldon, Ark, July 30, 1904. To Whom it May Concern:
 This is to certify that we had our church house insured against fire and wind in the American Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark, and the house was blown over in a storm. The company very promptly put 1t back at large expense in better condition and stronger than 1t was before the storm. We thank the American Insurance Company for it's promptness in replacing our church to our en- tire satisfaction, and we recom- mend the company to those who have houses to insure.

SERVICE
 ON MAIN LINE.

Little Rock, Sept. IA. -Passen- ger service was resumed last night over the main line of the Iron Mountain between Little Rock and Texarkana, for the first time since the wreck of the bridge over the Ouachita river at Philadelphia on last Sunday night. The through express No. 1, which left Little Beck at 1;30 this morning, was run over the main line to Texarkana with only a loss of about two hours. 1t IS expected the regular main line schedule will be in operation af- ter today. Two wrecking crews were at work on the bridge since early Monday morning, the last relief crew leaving this city early yesterday morning.
 The passenger traffic of this road is increasing at a wonderful rate, and it was absolutely neces- sary to get through for it's trains. The past few days have shown great gains in the average num- Der of passengers which are be- ing taken into St. Louis over this line, and with the resumption of traffic over the south end this will no doubt continue.

Through The New Jersey Gen.
trail, IT is Said.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29:-Rumor has it
that the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroads system will soon acquire the
group of railroads owned by the Lehigh
Coal an Navigation Company and recent
ly merged under the name of the Lehigh,
Lackawanna and New England Railway.
The Reading, it was said, would get pos
session of the roads through its ownership
of the Central of New Jersey. The coal
company has made an offer to theC Central
to sell or lease the group, and, whereas
no formal acceptance was made, it was
understood the deal would go through.
1t was to prevent outsiders from getting
a foothold in the coal region through
purchase of one of the little roads that
the merger was made, and anything
tending to strengthen that result WIS re-
garded as a ~foregone conclusion.
The New Haven ROAD is regarded with
suspicion by all the trunk lines, and they
are doing their best to prevent it from ex
tending its grasp on the anthracite fields,
obtained by purchase of a controlling
interest In the New York, Ontario and
Western. Tie Lehigh Coal Company is
the only big corporation OUT of the trust,
aud it is said the coal combination will
take good care it doesn't fall into the
hands of the New Haven.

CHRONIC CATARRH CURED
Hyomei's Wonderful Action 10 Curing A
Case Of Thirty Years Standing.
Guaranteed by 9. A. Sexton,

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach. 1t cannot be
cured in that ann The only way
in which this common disease can be
cured is through a direct application
that will kill the germs of catarrh and
prevent their growth. Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
accomplishes this. 1t is the simplest.
most pleasant, and only absolute IRE
for catarrh that has ever been discovered
Mrs. c A. Derby, Of Beverly, Mass,
writes my husband has had catarrhal
trouble for thirty years and Hyomei is
the first, thing which has ever helped
him. He had catarrh in its worst form,
and nothing except Hyomei ever had
any effect on it whatever. This gave
him relief from the first and he has
steadily improved, until now he is
cured"
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, consisting of an inhaler and
sufficient Hyomei to last for several
weeks. Extra bottles can be obtained
for fifty cents. Mr. Sexton has SO much
confidence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh that he will sell the
treatment, under his personal guaran-
tee to refund the money if the purchasers
can say it did not benefit. Ask him to
show you the strong guarantee und e
which it is sold.

Leading specially trained bodies of

kin wishes to secur twenty automo

NATURE SPARES


What a fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height Of its
blooming glory. that a canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
s~tore-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair. and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
Of young women. but thanks to the in
designations of scientists the true u
OF hair destruction is now known to be
