The determination of the Pine Bluff
board of health to maintain the rigid
ity of the quarantine now in force
here was shown Monday, when the
board refused to permit carload of
sugar consigned to the Gillespie and
Brother Grocer company to enter the
city. Late Monday afternoon the fol-
lowing telegram was sent to DR.. Can
trell. president of the state board Of
health:
Your order permitting molasses
and other freight from New Orleans
IS dangerous and will be resisted by
the Pine Bluff board of health.
'slsned) H. Il Williams.
president Board of Health.
n. King White. Mayor"
The following telegram, bearing up-
on the incident already mentioned
was also sent to the state board of
health by S. c. Johnson of st. Louis:
The Pine Bluff board of health re-
fuses to allow us entrance to that
place OF carload Of sugar from New
Orleans consigned to the GilIesnie
Grocery company. although the car
mas your certificate attached. Plea SO
advise me what can be done concern
ing this matter.
(Signed) "S. G.. johnson
In reply to the message of the Pine
Bluff board of health, DR.. Cantrell
last night sent the following letter
to President Williams of the board
of health and Mayor White:
Gentlemen: Your telegram is at
hand, as is one from S. C. Johnson.
which relates to the same matter. Tn
| answer will say that our order con-
corning the shipment of freight from
New Orleans was issued by authority
of telegram from Surgeon General
| Wyman and telegram from Surgeon
White at New Orleans. Our order
was to the effect that all cars with
freight, except bananas. loaded and
fumigated by direction of the marine
service, should enter the state with
the proper certificates attached. This
sugar you hold is in barrels and in
no way do see how there can be the
least risk to the people of Pine Bluff
and of the state of Arkansas. I would
suggest that if you will fumigate the
contents of this car certainly all Git
there is any, danger would be remov-
ed. Most respectfully,
(Signed) &c. M. Cantrell."

MAYOR WHITE RECOVERED
Out Again to Qualification Of His
Many Friends.

Mayor H. King White was able to
be mo and about on the streets this
morning and apparently seemed to
be as hale and as hearty as ever. His
r,any friends throughout the city
trust that his recovery may be a per-
manent one. One, man was heard to
remark:
"Pine Bluff can ill afford to be
without H. King White at this time.
He is always useful4 citizen; but we
need him worse now than we have
ever needed him."
This seems to express, briefly, the
feeling of the entire city, and there is
universal qualification that he is able
to be up again.

City Warrants Question.

Alderman Nichol. for the police
committee. stated that the police de.
partment was in a quandary about its
city scrip. The banks of the city, he
said, had about as much city scrip as
they cared to handle just now, and it
had become a problem with the po-
licemen as to how to dispose of their
warrants He didn't understand why
the city treasurer could not pay Off
these warrants. The police could not
work for nothing. and something had
to be done. These We're only II months
warrants and the banks had been TAX
ing Is months. He didn't understand
why they should turn these down.
The bill for the water company was
read and ordered paid.

OPENS FIRE ON FAIRBANKS
Shaw Gusts From Office Fairbanks
"Boomer."

Washington, D. c.. Aug 15-Secre-
tary Shaw has started a general polit-
ical "mix-up" in Virginia by removing
Asa Rogers. collector of internal rev.
enue for the eastern district Of the
state. alleging inefficiency
Mr. Shaw declared that Commission
err Yerkes recommended the removal
because Mr.. Rogers was incompetent
to perform the work This has anger
ed the friends of Mr.. Rogers and all
those who support Mr.. Fairbanks as
presidential candidate.
Rogers and his friends say his res
ienaticn was requested because he co
operated with National Committee
man Bowden, who openly advocates
the nomination Of Mr.. Fairbanks
three years hence. They claim the
charge of inefficiency was not sug-
gested until after Secretary Shaw
learned of the activity of Messrs.
Bowden, Rogers and their followers
in behalf of Mr.. Fairbanks.
Rogers was appointed internal rev
enue collector in 1897, and was reap
pointed less than year ago. His re-
appointment was based on the good
record made during his eight-year
term.

CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS FOR 75c.

Mrs. George ]. Steese, of 7o1 Coburn
St, Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, after
physicians, and all else had failed: 81
feel it my duty to parents of other poor
suffering babies to tell you what Cuti-
eura has done for my little daughter.
She broke out all over her body with a
humor, and we used everything recon-
mended, but without results. I called
in three doctors, they all claimed they
could help her, but she continued to
grow worse. Her body was mass of
sores, and her little face was being
eaten away; her ears looked as if they
would drop off. Neighbors advised me
to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment and
before l had used half of the cake of
soap and box of ointment the sores had
all healed, and my little ones face and
body were as clear as newborn babes.
would not be without it again if it
cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five
cents, which is all it cost US to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever"
