Tendency OF the Times.

The tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. Ii is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one Of
the most dangerous diseases that medi
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack Of
influenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy connteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no dan
ger is apprehended until it is suddenly
discovered that there is fever and diff

Some of Davis PardOnS.

The following extract from the
speech of Judge Wood should
cause the thinking voter to think
hard and long before he again
endorses Jeff Davis for governor !:
"There was the Stuckey case.
The defendant was a dude young
man of Mena vino went iii good
society. He secured keys to the
stores of other merchants and
during the night would pilfer them
of goods which enabled him to
undersell his competitors so that
some of them went to the wall.
Then he was caught and sent to
the penitentiary. When called to
account for the abuse of the par.
donng power in this instance Da-
Wis said that he and his wife were
visiting the penitentiary and they
heard issuing from one of the cells
the sweet strains of "HOme Sweet
Home" and that he said to his
wife, "Any man who can play
Home, Sweet Home so patheti-
cally on a violin is not criminal
and ] am going to pardon him."
Then it was discovered that when
arrested Stuckey had an $4,000
stock and $4,000 in bank and
guess that tune was played so
sweetIy because the bow was
rosined with some of that money.
His attorney told me that he got
$500 for procuring the pardon
There was the Simmons case. Sim
mons ran a blind tiger and accum'
ulatcd a bank account OF over
| s3S,500 in less than year and q
half. He was convicted and fined
in sums aggregating $4,000 and
was pardoned by Davis. Davis e1
planned that Simmons was an old
one.armed Confederate soldier and
that il was for that reason the
pardon was issued. When we
spoke in the town where Simmons
lived the man was pointed out to
me and though he had but one
arm, he had lost the other in a
steel trap, reckon ! saw that he

Congressman Little After Bad Officers
In the Indian Territory.

III inc lnuihu Itilltui1'
Washington, Feb. 22.-Repre.
sentative Little of Arkansas has
prepared a bill for introduction in
the house, designed to put a stop
to alleged misuse of authority and
power on the part of United
States officials ia the Indian Ter
ritary. so many charges have
been made against government
officials there, none of which have
been proven true upon investlga-
ton, that Mr.. Little thinks con.
gressiOnal action is necessary and
that such legislation be enacted
that will have a salutary effect
toward preventing croOkedness in
connection with dealing with the
Indians. When asked relative to
the proposed measure, Mr.. Little
said:
II think three-fourths Of the govern
ment officials, from those in high posi-
ton down to deputy marshals have been
guilty Of wrongfully using their posi-
tions for private gain, and there are re-
ports and memorials that have been pre-.
sented to congress at this session to show
| it. No man who is intrusted with the
! 81, ,,,,t. 6 ka a.,ip Of a In
dams should be permitted to do this
sort of business. There are federal off
GERS in trust companies, banks, private
corporations, partnerships aud in individ
ual business who are protiting by their
government authority and power to en-
rich themselves. This has been proven
conclusively, and my bill is designed &c
put stop to it. If u man wants TO con
nnue business let him resign his fedora
Job, which gives him opportunities anc
advantage which he is not slow to profit
by. -
Mr.. Little's bill provides that
+ hereafter ii shall be unlawful fol
any officer or deputy of the United

ritory, to buy or lease any lands
