A LITTLE HORSE SENSE.

Never get directly behind a led horse.
Keep the stalls clean and neatly bed
ded.
Now is a good time to whitewash the
stables.
Never tie horse when hot and
sweaty in draft.
Shredded corn fodder is excellent
feed for horses that are idle or doing
light work, but it must be dry and free
from mold.
Good for Gen. Miles. His latest gen
eral order before retirement was to
prevent the docking or mutilation of
horses in the army.
The lenses of a horses eye are sc
shaped as to greatly magnify objects
at which he looks. Then don't beat
him if he "boogers" little.
The muscles of horse used for
heavy work become used to heavy
strain, but are not accustomed to quick
motion. Remember this when tempted
to drive fast
Close up the cracks, as drafts cause
stiffness of muscles and much grain is
needed to keep in GOOD work trim and
provide warmth Boards and nails. OF
paper and shingles, are cheaper than
feed
Sole leather nailed on under the shoe
will protect the frog from sharp points
of frozen ground and prevent snow
balls forming in the hollow hoof, be-
sides giving confidence and sure-foot-
edness to the animal. 1t is easily put
on and easily removed after the icy
weather has pasSed.-Farm and Home

Skipworth at Whitmore, in this county yester- day, three negroes are in jail, one with a bullet hole in his neck.

 Later when Skipworth attempt ed to arrest them a negro named John Homer interfered and in the trouble which ensued he shot four times at the deputy, though none of the shots took effect.

FIND CLUES AS TO
 MOTHER OF BABY.

Sheriff Randy, who is being assisted by Dr. w. P. Shelley in trying to find who left the baby in the woods north of town to meet death by starvation, has unearthed several clues which almost establish the guilt of a woman of bad character who has lived in Oil Trough bottom and cannot now be located.
 Doctor Shelley made a search of the ground where the body was found, and about 30 yards away discovered where willow basket, a woman's belt and an envelope had been practically burned. On the envelope was the word "Magness," thought to have been her home postoffice. On a bottle containing camphor was the sticker of Sulphur Rock drug firm, Wright & Ow- .ens.. Sheriff Randy also found a .baby's cap about $50 yards north of this place.
 f Negroes living in the north end of town say that they saw a woman carrying such a basket as the burned one was, going tow ard the park Thursday morning.
 Sheriff Randy went to Sulphur Rock Monday morning and is confident he is on the right trail, as the skirt near which the baby was found has been identified as the property of the woman in question.

CONVICT DROWNED.

Pine Bluff, June 21. Thornton Hale of the Holderness Senyard Company has returned from Fair, where he went to identify the floater which was found at that place Saturday. He says the body was that of convict and not that of Harry Duck of Little Rock, as was at first supposed. The convict's name could not be learned, but it is understood that he jumped off the Rob Roy bridge one day last week and was drowned. The body was dressed in the prison garb of a convict and could not have been that of MT. Buck, who was partly un- dressed at the time he was drowned.

 All the language at my com mand would be inadequate to properly express the sentiments of our souls. Your hospitality was boundless and 1 speak for the entire membership in at tendance when 1 say that we were simply overwhelmed by the spirit of good cheer we encoun- tered and the hospitable welcome we enjoyed.
 While this was our initial out ing, it was nevertheless a pro- nounced success, as far as the good citizens of Newport were concerned, and no matter what character of entertainment is provided at our future conclaves, it can never dim the luster of the occasion, which was indeed, one long to be remembered, and will be cherished on the pages of

BENEFIT RECITAL A
 COMPLETE SUCCESS.
and is in a !

The benefit recital given under the auspices of the Ladies Aid society of the Methodist church in the parlors of the Hazel hotel Tuesday evening was a delightful affair socially and financially. The program as rendered rep- resented some of the best mu- sical talent of the city and the vigorous applause received at the hands of the appreciative audience proved that each num- Der was well rendered.
 The piano solos by Misses Mae Whitaker and Mary Bailey, who are considered two of Newport's most talented pianists, were ex- ceptionally well rendered upon this occasion and were liberally applauded. After rendering their selections Miss Della Bernstein, in her clear, full soprano, sang "Carmena," which was loudly applauded.
 Miss Imogene Randy, who has long been a favorite in musical circles of the city, contributed two numbers, which were among the best on the program, a violin and contralto solo.
 Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse, who is known over the state as possess ing a voice of unusual sweetness, sang in her clear, musical so- prano La Fioraja," which was much enjoyed by the entire audience.
 The solo, Spring Time," by Miss Hester Phillips, who has one of the sweetest and most highly cultivated voices in New port, received a mos. deserving encore.
 This was the first of a series of entertainments to be given by the Ladies' Aid society of the Methodist church during the summer and fall. Much of the success of this entertainment is due to the efforts of Mesdames R. w. Randy and c. B. Crook, who are among the most untiring workers of the church.

 At the state mass meeting of the prohibitionists in Little Rock Wednesday, Capt. J. E. Will mans was nominated for govern or. He has long been a consis- tent and able exponent of the temperance cause and his nomin- ation will reflect credit upon the party whose standard bearer he has been made.
 The prohibitionists boiled 5000 votes in 1902, and Capt. Wilmans will no doubt increase their strength in the coming Septem- Der election.

SENATOR BERRY
 DENIES REPORT.
There Was No Compromise Be- tween Davis and Himself Says Governor Worked
 Against Him.


 The Fort Smith Times prints the following from Senator Berry, under recent date:
 There was no compromise, agreement or understanding be- tween Gov. Davis or his friends and myself or my friends con- corning the delegation to St. Louis or anywhere else. When l reached Hot Springs on Mon- day was informed that Gov. Davis had announced that he was going to beat me for national delegate and that MT. Smead was the candidate to be put for ward for the purpose of encom- passing my defeat Gov. Davis sent me word that he intended to defeat me.
 "On Wednesday it became evi- dent to everybody that l would be selected as one of the big four, and then I was approached by a friend of Gov. Davis, who told me that the governor said that if Benton county, when called, would vote for him for delegate he would ask his friends to vote for me. I replied that Mir. Hinemon, the superintsnd- ent of public schools, was a can didate for delegate also, that he was a friend of mine and that Benton county would vote for Mr. Hinemon, Senator Clarke, John w. Crockett and myself, and would not vote for Governor Davis, and that I would rather be beaten a hundred times than enter into any agreement with him under the conditions of which MT. Hinemon or any other friend of mine would be sacri- feed. I therefore refused to enter into any agreement with him with reference to the matter.
 Sometime after that Mr. Smeed, who was put forth as a candidate against me, informed me that he was going to with draw; that when he became a candidate he did not know that he was being put forward for the purpose of beating me, and that he thought was entitled to an election. He said that he didn't want to beat me if he could. l told him that l did not ask him to withdraw, and to use his own judgment in the matter. MT. Hinemon withdrew and then Gov. Davis, Senator Clarke, Jno. w. Crockett and myself were elected by exclamation.
 T was also approached by a friend of Gov. Davis with refer ence to the fight on for chairman and secretary of the state cen tral committee. The proposition made me this time was, that if Benton county would vote against Carroll Armstrong and Gray Car roll for chairman and secretary, respectively, the Davis faction would vote for me for delegate. told them that l would much rather be beaten, and that Ben ton county would vote for Car roll Armstrong and Gray Carroll that had never yet made an agreement with mortal man to vote for him or his friends, and that never would. There is nc truth whatevor in the statement that owe my election as a dele gate to any compromise or agree ment with Gov. Davis or any o1 his friends"

 M places between two X distinguishing the fires al- N< and the railroad has 6nA fven to the extremity of providing an extra high engine to pull the trains out of certain low places where it is impossible to keep up fires. The platforms of the passenger coaches are un- der water for miles.
 It takes three hours to run from Dumas to Fairfield, and for that entire distance there IS nothing but a sea of water, show ing, of course, the trees and un- dergrowth that has been able to withstand it's ravages. The stench from the decaying vege- tation is something terrible, and millions of frogs make day and night hideous.
 It is a we'll known fact that many bayous and lagoons are crossed by this line, and the cul- verts over which the rails are laid must be exceedingly danger ous. The trains are therefore compelled to creep over the rails i It . snail's pace and the engineer ! no doubt expects every minute to plunge through a washout that ( is hidden by the four or five feet s of water.
 Passengers who care to open the windows of the coaches may z easily drag their hands through : the water, which reaches within a foot or so of the window sill. ?

Hanson g. Emerson.
The popularity and remarkable sales
OF Hyomei have broken all records.
In nearly every city and town in the
c.: untry, this guaranteed cure for Ca
tarrh has given most astonishing
results.
The leading druggists are so enthus-
iastic over the remarkable PERCENTAGE
of cures following the use of Hyomei,
that with hardly an exception, they
advertise TO their customers that
Hyomei will be sold with the under
standing that it costs nothing unless it
cures.
In Sank Centre, Hanson & Emerson
are endorsing it and guaranteeing to
refund the money unless Hyomei cures
catarrh. They have sold a grea,
many Hyomei outfits, and to-day, nc
other treatment for the cure of catarrh
has as many friends in Sank Centre
and vicinity, as Hyomei.
1t is scientific, yet common sense
method of treating and curing this toe
