Catarrh Is frequently located In inter
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this
is known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal rem
edy which would reach catarrh at Its
source, to eradicate IL permanently
from the system-this has been the do
sire of the medical profession for o long
time. Forty years ago DR.. Hartman
confronted this problem. He believed
then that he had solved It. He still be-
lieves he has solved 1t. He cures thou
sands of people annually. During all
these years Peruna has been the remedy
upon which he has relied.

TSHERE are two things that the whole
i medical profession agree about con-
cerning catarrh. The first is that ca
tarrhis the mostprevalent and omnipres-
ent disease to which the people in the
United States are subject. All classes
of people have 1t. Those who stay In
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes have 1t and
sedentsry classes have II.
The doctor finds catarrh TO be his con-
slant and ever-present foe. 1t compli-
Gates nearly every disease he is called
upon to treat.
The second shing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, is that 1t is diff
ficult to cure It. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure per-
msnently. Sprays or snuffs amount to

TEST, OF STRENGTH.

Barnum & Bailey's circus re- gently made some interesting tests at Madison Square Garden, in New York, of the pulling strength of men and animals. The best record was made by a team of 1,6OD pound horses that made a deadpull of 3,750 pounds, or about 1.2bounds to each pound of their weight. Fifty men pulled 8,70 pounds, or nearly the same i1 proportion to weight. Two cameB pulled 2,750 pounds, and one l2,000 pound elephant pulled $50 pounds. The ele- plant in spite of his big total pull, maze the poorest record in proportim to his weight. Babe, . one of tie circus elephants, who is constantly used to help in load ing ard unloading cars, etc., is so strolg he can easily push three loadedcarS.

MEYERS CERTAIN
 TO BE NOMINATED.
Has Sufficient Instructions to In sure Nomination Unless In-
 surgents Should Object.

Little Rock, May 10. If there is anything in instructions, and there is no cause to say there is not, Hon. Harry H. Myers, reg ister of the United States land office in this city, will again be the nominee of the Republican party for governor of Arkansas. There will be 249 votes in the state convention which will con- vene next Tuesday in this city, and MT. Myers has the instruc- tions from thirty counties, a total of 152, or twenty-seven more than enough to nominate.
 This would seem to end all doubt as to the nominee of the party and set at rest any plans for the nomination of Col. C. T. Duke, Col. G. A. A. Deane, c. N. Rix or any other possible can- didate, unless demands should be made by the insurgents as one of the conditions of their re- turning to the fold that would put different complexion on the matter.
 MT. Meyers feels confident that he has as many friends among the insurgents as anyone else has, and that their entry again into the regular fold will not in any manner jeopardize his prospects.

A 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, remedy has been discovered bv modern science which in every instance effects 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 Neuralgia 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 it is 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 nores 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 xr oo bottles. Write for book of testimo- nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company Louisville, Ky, U. s. A.

GRAND GLAZE GOSSIP.

MT. Editor: Owing to press of business we were unable to contribute our little mite last week, but will now try to chron- icle a few happenings.
 School closed at the Randy school house last Thursday and we are glad to note quite an inn provement along educational lines. Mrs. Walker is an able instructress who seeks to give value received in return for what she receives in the way of salary.
 Fred Wood has quit the jour- nalistic world and gone to sur veying land, with old Beck in the lead.
 The social given at Cedar Shell ley's last week was well attend ed and an enjoyable time is re- ported. The young folks tripped the fantastic toe till the wee small hours.
 The social event of the season thus far was the union of You Know Who" and You May Know Who," the occasion being celebrated by the presentation to Miss You May Know Who" by the first named journalist of a portrait done in pastel colors and appropriately framed of her own sweet self. The work is an ex- cellent representation of one of natures lovliest creatures and was highly appreciated.
 It is said today that you can't throw a club anywhere around Grand Glaize without hitting an old maid, and sometimes you hit a whole nest of them. Matrl- mony is becoming unpopular. Really we can't help but just dote on those well seasoned mai den ladies who manifest such touching devotion which induces them to deny themselves homes in order that they may devote their lives to advising others how to run theirs; and at the same time aver that matrimony is not an essential to their happiness, as they can get a parrot to swear for them, a poodle to chew for them and a stove to smoke for them, so they don't need a man. One of the commandments given of old was to the effect that we love one another" and we have made up our mind not to miss heaven on this account, but in tend to go right along loving them just the same.

MANIFEST YOUR
 PUBLIC INTEREST.
Appeal of Superintendent Hop kins for an Interest Upon the Part of Public Schools
 Patrons.

The NeWpOrC puDllc dIlu HlSiI school will close it's years work on Friday, May 20. It is desired that the patrons and friends of the school visit all it's depart ments during the last week, in order that they may form some idea of the character of work done during this school year.
 As the course of study for the high school department has been made to embrace three years of work instead of two as hereto fore, of course we shall have no graduating exercises at the close of the present session. Up to January, 1904, the school has had no regularly adopted course of study. We now have an excel lent course which admits our graduates without an examina- tion to all the colleges of our state and to the University of Arkansas.
 There are cities in the state twice as large as Newport which have not yet accomplished this end. Several of them continually boast, through the papers, of their magnificent system and yet are not accredited to any of the higher institutions of learning.
 In many ways we have labored at great disadvantage, but in the face of all difficulties most of the children have done a fair years work and many have succeeded exec. +t;;c"ally we'll. Their efforts demand ~e. ognition by their parents and friends. Will you, parents and friends, show them your interest by spending a day or a half day in witnessing some of the final review and eXamina- tion work ? Everybody is in- vited.
 The following special commit tees have beenFappointed by the school board and sanctioned by the faculty:
 High School-Rev. c. Pope, chairman; Revs. G. B. Norton, II. c. Mahan, Dr. Hiram Camp bell.
 Intermediate Hon. Gustave fones, chairman; Prof. J. D. Neal, Hon. M. M. Stuckey, Judge E.. L. Boyce, Mrs. w. R. Stew art, Mrs. T. J.~ Watson, Mrs. o. V. Scarborough.
 Primary Mrs. Dorsey, chair
 Ian; Mrs. Ike Goldman, Miss
 earl Martin, Mrs. w. w. Dut-
 In, Mrs. D. w. Anderson, Mrs.

An Unbeaten Racer.

II have never allowed Lou Dillon to
be beaten by another horse when in
training. She has never yet been
passed by a horse in a race She feels
that she can beat anything In this
world, and such confidence is neces-
sary for the best results. 1t is not q
question Of nerve or spirit. But when
it comes to supreme test, like the one
at Readville or at Memphis last year
a heart-breaking trial. want her to
feel that she is supreme, and that moth
ing can beat her. In that race against
Major Delmar at Memphis last Octo-
Der, which Dillon won in such splen-
did style, at the quarter Delmar was
right at my shoulder. Dillon was dash
ing along with that tremendous stride
and with perfect ease. Delmar was
making his supreme effort l heard
him grunt. He knew he was beaten;
he was heartbroken. and then and
there he gave up the race. X. G..

The Word Picnic.

The derivation of the word picnic is
uncertain. In London Notes and Que
ries Of 1853 attempts were made to
trace its origin.
One correspondent says:
Under a French form the word ap-
pears in a speech of Robesp.erre, 'C'est
lei kqu'il doit m'accuser, ct non dams
les piquesniques.' An earlier instance
occurs in one of Lord Chesterfield &
letters, dated October, 174S."
Another writer Of the same date
tries to trace the word from France
into Italy. Starting with the assump-
ton that piquenique in French implies
a party at which each guest provides
some particular dish or performs some
special duty he finds the Italian ex-
pressions nicchia duty and piccola "a
trifling service). and from these be
coins piccola nicchia (picnic).
A French encyclopedia. 1913, has II
that the word is compounded of the
simple English pick Ito choose) and
nick Tin the nick of time. on the spur
Of the moment). In France the term
is also used for indoor picnics.

Japan May Be Using an American
Boat that Went to Holland.
As far as Uncle Sam knows, Z tor
pedo boat, made in this country. may
have been sold to Japan within the Las
two months. The boat, which Is Of thu
submarine type, Ia known as the Pro
tector, and was built at Elizabeth. N
J., by the Lake Submarine Torpedo
Boat Company. R @. Wilde, of Nerd
Ian, Conn, a stockholder Of the con.
Germ, who Is at Newells Hotel, said
last night that the boat had been sold
and, to the best OF his knowledge, II
likely now is part of the japanese
navy.
The sale was made two months ago
he said, to q private person. and the
transfer was made on the high seas
The price was about $500 900. The boa,
was taken apart for transportation
and it easily could have been iaLded
in Japan without the interference OF
Russia.
II know that the Protector has been
bought for use in the Eastern seas. The
stockholders Of the company have not
been acquainted with the name Of the
purchasers, If they ever will be. We
have been given to understand that
