WHEN THE KIDNEYS
 ARE AILING.
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora- tive Measures is Something That Every One Should
 Understand.
IA Stitch in Time Saves Nine."

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri- nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning synp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous malady. When the kidneys are ai1ing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prick1y Ash Bitters is the remedy needed. Taken on the ap- pearance of the first symptoms, such as pain in the back, puffiness under the eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim incal- cu1able misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin ming of the trouble it cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages it will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prick1y Ash Bitters with the
 large figure in red on the front label.

WOMAN's CLUB.


 The Woman's club met with Mrs. L. E. Willis as hostess Fri day. Feb. 24. The study for the afternoon was Napoleon and some very interesting papers were read.
 Mrs. w. E. Bevens, who is a most excellent reader, gave se- lection by BalzacA Mrs. B. M. Crows paper on The First Con- sulate" was splendid, as she handles all subjects with the same skill. Napoleon" by Mrs. R. M. Johnson, and Madame de Stael' by Mrs. o. D. Watson were both good papers, and a piano solo by Mrs. Geo. Sink was much enjoyed.
 A discussion, Josephine versus Napoleon, led by Mrs. c. H. Wilmans, was the most interest ing feature of the afternoon.
 Those who took active part showed that they had not been too occupied with other things to freshen their memories in the history of the Napoleonic era, and many thrilling as well as ridiculous facts were discussed with as much spirit as is possi- ble among men of the gown at the bar of justice. But the bit terest against Napoleon could not deny to him the name and fame of the greatest maker of war and winner of victories that the world has ever known, while it was decided that Josephine was not celestial, but human.

ferent persons have different reasons, no doubt, but one paints Devoe for beauty, to be in the fashion and keep out water.
 Fashion says paint; we all paint. There is beauty in paint; we paint a good deal for that. And buildings are costly and fashionable; put on a waterproof two or three coats of paint, and your buildings last as long as you keep them dry. It costs nothing to paint; it costs your buildings not to.
 Devoe IS the paint that lasts; disappointing paints are the paints that cost.

NEWPORT. ARKANSAS MONDAY. FEBRUARY 27. teo5
$1, ,5OO,OO FIRE AT
 HOT SPRINGS.
Forty Blocks Destroyed Two Thousand People Homeless Churches, Business
 Houses and Court
 House in Ashes.

One of the greatest fire losses of recent years, and perhaps the highest for a city of it's populs- tion, was suffered Saturday by Hot Springs. 1t was the most serious confagration ever report ed from Arkansas and precedes but a few weeks the operation of a law which will undoubtedly drive from our borders and re- nounce the protection of practi- cally all the old line insurance companies now doing business in Arkansas.
 The Hot Springs fire originat- ed about 3:30 in the morning in the Grand Central hotel, a two story frame building at the rear of the Central Methodist church, and for five hours the flames drove back the squads of valiant firemen and encouraged by a strong wind broadened their pathway of destruction.
 To stop the spread of the fire, buildings were laid low with dy- namite and the whole city was awakened, as for time it was feared the whole town would be destroyed.
 Many hotels, but none of the very large ones of this health re- sort, the Garland court house, Methodist, Cumberland Presby- terian and Jewish churches, hun- dreds of business houses and even more residences lay in smouldering ruins next morning.
 Probably 2,000 people were left homeless. Some of the smaller hotels immediately sought to take advantage of this, but their attempts were early squelched. The homes of the city were thrown open for the sufferers, and to offers of assistance which came pouring in from other cities Mayor Bedding was able to reply that the people of Hot Springs would be able to take care of themselves. A fund of $7, 1000 for the relief of the needy was subscribed at a public meeting there in fifteen minutes.
 The amount of insurance car ried upon the property destroyed is estimated at $500, Such a loss would have put into the hands of a receiver every mutual company in the state and it is indeed a kindness of Providence that this awful catastrophe should have happened before the Logan antitrust bill became ef- fective and much of this insu- rance allowed to drop or placed with companies whom such a loss would have rendered in- solvent.
 Will this awful fire not prove an object lesson and create a sentiment over the state for the repeal of the Logan bill that will soon refuse to the merchants and people of our towns adequate protection against fire and thus destroy the credit rating of many merchants of no outside re- sources?
 The words of Gov. Davis in his message to the legislature when he said "I am no believer in fire insurance at the best" are well answered by Mayor Belding of Hot Springs in commenting upon Saturdays fire: T shud- der to think what the confagra- tion would have meant to Hot Springs had it happened little later, when the merchants and residents of the city would have been unable to secure fire insu- rance. It should come as a les ] L 4 l =

MURDER MYSTERY
 COMPLETELY CLEARED.
Christmas Tragedy at Last Solved in Finding of Elder Woman's Body, Which Establishes
 Newt AllWhite's
 Confession.

The awful dual crime and dou- ble murder which marred the Christmas of 1904 in Jackson county has at last been complete ly cleared of mystery in the find- ing of the body of the elder woman, Mrs. Rachel Kinkannon, Sunday afternoon at the Minor bar, five miles below here on the White river.
 The justice of the death pen atty meted to the father, Loui Allwhite, at the hands of a mob Saturday, December 31, an act based upon the confession of the sol, who has since been sen- Eenced to the penitentiary for Ftwenty-one years, is now proven, for the story of the boy is cor roborated in every particular by the mutilated and partly de- composed body.
 A. raftsman saw the dress, which had hung upon some driftwood about ten feet from the bank, and upon investigation found that it was the body of the long and muchly-sought-for woman, whom White river had refused to give up to grappling hooks and the explosions of dyna- mite.
 Parties who knew Mrs. Kin kannon had no trouble in recog- nizing the remains. The wintry weather and icy coldness of the water had doubtless kept intact the body which bore the gunshot k wound as described by Newton AIlWshite and inflicted by his father. IYse bullet had entered the side and emergea\ from the abdomen, after passing through these vital parts. While the wound would have been fatal, it is probable that death by drown ing relieved her suffering when thrown into the watery grave that has after two months given up it's dead.
 CORONER HOLDS INQUEST.
 Coroner Harrison of Tucker man was notified and came down Monday morning, when an in- quest was held at Drummond's undertaking rooms, whither the body had been removed, and after hearing of the facts and examination of the remains the iury found that the body was that of Mrs. Rachel Kinkannon and that she had come to her death from a gunshot wound. At whose hands they did not de- clare, but the judgment of the mob is further entrenched in the minds of all who have read and heard the story of the crime.
 OLD MAN SENT HOME. < Old man James Kinkannon, for whom there was much pub .licI Sympathy in his grief and snoyerty, was not there to iden- tifv the remains of his wife, which were buried immediately after the inquest in the city cem- etery. A brother named Davis, living in the country, arrived after the burial.
 The aged Kinkannon had been sent to his old home in Illinois last Monday night by the New port Relief society, to which fund the $2 contributed for his help by two charitable read CTS of the Independent was ap- piled.

without Looking For Them.
Few people are aware, says Fred w.
Saxby in the Strand Magazine, that
we are all constantly "collccting" Curl
Gus things without looking for them:
In the very act of looking up at the
ficcting spectacle of n fiery orb the
reader with the big, wide open eyes
may easily receive in one of his own
orbs tiny sphere from afar that was
produced in a glowing streak of light
like the one he Is admiring.
Mctcoric dust is ever falling and up
on all parts Of our planet. The little
spheres have been found upon the
decks Of ships far out at sea, In all
tie deserts of the earth and on the
tops of snow clad mountains. Dredg-
ings brought up from the silent depths
of the ocean give testimony of their
universal presence. The particles all
contain iron and are easily collected
by the magnet from the roof of any
outhouse or other place exposed di-
rectly to the sky.
Seafarers are sometimes pelted with
Dust of quite different kind, compos-
ed Of the microscopic flinty skeletons
Of beautiful plants called "diatoms."
These tiny plants live in both salt
aud fresh water and occur IN enor-
nous numbers in some localities. Oc-
casionally water courses and inundat-
cd areas dry up, and the fiinty shells
of the diatoms which grew there are
blown about as dust. There are sew
eral instances ON record of diatoma-
ceous dust falls at sea. During the
thickeSt part of the fall the sailors
have experienced much pain In their
eyes, the Inflammation being caused
by the little flinty shells.
