IS HE BROAD MINDED :?

Because John Keel, represen- tative from Jackson county, un- til recently an ardent supporter of Gov. Davis, has now turned against him the Beebe News has this to say:
 Heretofore the News has looked upon MT. Keel as a broad minded statesman, but this act on his part has changed our mind in regard to this gentle man..

GEORGE GOULD ON
 HIS RETURN TRIP
From Inspection of Mexican Line Party Lay Over at Homan
 for Nights Rest.

Little Rock, March 3. 3.-George Gould and his party reached Lit tie Rock last night in a special train on their way back to St. Louis from Mexico, where Mir. Gould has been for the past ten days on an inspecting tour. No information was given out as to the result of the inspection tour, but the trip is looked upon as the first step in new move by the Gould system. The fact that MT. Gould made a close in- spection of the port facilities of Vera Cruz has given rise to the report that the Gould interests contemplate a line of steamers to ply between Galveston and Vera Cruz.
 It is reported that the Goulds are also interested in the Mexico Texas Steamship Company.
 Mir. Gould and his party were joined at Texarkana by Vice. President c. s. Clarke, General Manager A. w. Sullivan, Assist ant General Manager J. w. Hig- gins and General Superintendent w. T. Tyler.
 After spending an hour in Lit tie Rock the special left for St.. Louis by way of Memphis, but will hardly reach the national capital for the inauguration. The amount Gould had paid for a vantage point on Pennsylvania avenue was published, but if such were ever his plans, he has dem- onstrated a characteristic of his father, the eminent Jay Gould, and broken his plans without a moments notice, for the stop over for the night Thursday at Homan, where there is no tele- graph office, was in contradiction of the arranged program.

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

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri- nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning symp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous malady. When the kidneys are ailing 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, pufiness under the eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim incal- culable misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin ming of the trouble it cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages 1t will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prickly Ash BitterS with the
 large figure in red on the front label.
