COM MMERCIAL
 CLUB MEETING
Elect Officers and Transact Other busi' ness Looking to the Welfare of
 mena.

At the annual meeting of the Mena Commercial club held last night at the robin hall the fol- lowing officers were elected 10 serve for the ensuing year:
 President, A. W. St. John; vice president, Wright Prickett; secre- tary, E. H. Donaldson; treasurer, F. N. Haucock; members of the executive committee, George Le- gate, E. T. Roach and k. B. Board.
 Several propositions were taken under consideration, deemed of i'm mportance to Mena, among which was the Mena special road law, the railway hospital pro- feet, a sewerage system for the business portion of town, etc.
 The concensus of opinion seemed to be that the law passed at the last session of the legisla- ture regarding the Mena road dis trict should be changed or re- real ,d, also that the committee previously appointed by the club to try and secure an act in the legislature enabling our city to give good title to Stilwell park tor the location of the railway hospital, should push that pro- feet at the earliest practical moment.
 There appeared 10 be a uniform sentiment in favor of sewerage system for at least the business portion of the town to be added to later and 1t was suggested that a public meeting be hcld in the near future to get the sense of the people on the question.
 Several other questions of more less importance were considered and after a vote of thanks to G. E. Dennis for the use of the hall the meeting adjourned.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Brlght's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages

Kidney diseases are so destructive tc human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many ptysi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is 10 apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the frSt aPpearaare of the symptoms. 4 little uneasincss in the small of the back. digestive troubles, bowel Irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment i'll the estina- ton of strong men and women, yet tllcv have a serious meaning. They slio,s clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forti. coming at once 10 prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar ill a bottle ct Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease IS yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fastcn itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Pr:ckly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as a last resort, ill cases that dcfed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown it's superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- mcrable.

DR. THOMAS REMAINS IN ARKANSAS.
Mississippi Bishop Appoints Him to
 Educational Work in This State.

Eoucaii0nai Wufk m HIS otate.
 Corinth, Miss, Dec. 6.-Rishop Hendrix, who is holding the North Mississippi Conference of Methodist Episcopal church here, has appointed Rev. James Thorn as commissioner of education for Arkansas. Dr. Thomas will re- main in Arkansas and continue his work in behalf of Hendrix and Galloway colleges.
 The announcement contained in the foregoing dispatch, that Rev. James Thomas has been ap- pointed commissioner of educa- ton for Arkansas and will re- main in this state, disposes of the reports that Dr. Thomas would leave the state and accept a pastorate in the North Missis- sippi Conference, to which he was transferred by Bishop Atkins at the recent session of the Little Rock Conference. While Bishop Atkins and pr. Thomas had de- clined to make any statement in regard to probable further action in the case, prominent members of the church in this city had stated that they had been given to understand that Bishop Atkins had arranged with Bishop Hem drix to have Dr. Thomas assigned to an important pastorate in the North Mississippi conference, and that Dr. Thomas had signi- fled his willingness to accept such an assignment.
 It was understood that the ar engagement had been made m order to remove all the discord- ant elements in the Little Rock conference and to put an end to the trouble which has existed in tue Little Rock conference for several years as the result of the charges preferred against Dr. Thomas.
 The action taken yesterday by Bishop Hendrix, however, indi- cates that while he is no longer a member of the Little Rock con- ference, Dr. Thomas will continue his work in this state. It is ex- pected that this will be as effect i've in ending the strife within the Little Rock conference.
 pr. Thomas resigned some time ! ago from the pastorate of the First Methodist churca at Texar- 1 kama to take the position of com tor Galloway and Hen lrix colleges, and he has already aised consider able stun of money for those institutions.

 RAILWAY HOSPITAL
a,;,der Here With Architects Plans 10 Procure Estimates and Arrange TOT Construcation-To cost
 S45.0G0.

Sur announced few days ago that General Manager Coughhn of inc Kansas City Southern stated during a brief stay in this city that the vote of the employ ees of the road from Pittsburg, Kas., to Shreveport, La, WHO were interested in the building oi the proposed hospital, and whose money was to piy for 1t, had been canvassed and was found to be unanimous for Mena as the loca- ton.
 On the strength of this vote which removed all llquestion of any other place being chosen, Mir. Coughlin stated that at the next meeting of the hospital board, of which he is president, definite arrangements would be made for the work to commence as soon as the architects plans were ready and estimates of costs secured.
 Yesterday afternoon Mr. r. Martin of Kansas City, who is to have charge of the construction arrived with all plans and speci- fications as prepared by Archi- tects Root & Semons, expecting to remain several days conferrlng with Messrs. Clayton and Tobip, W ho are members of the board, and local builders and contractors regarding the cost of the build ing. The architects estimate ;,laces this at $45, 1000 but 1t IS b eieved that under the very favorable circumstances prevail ng here regarding labor and material this estimate can C materially reduced.
 Mr. Martin kindly called and gave Star representative ar opportunity to examine the plans The building as shown on paper presents an imposing as we'll a: beautiful appearance.
 The building will be SS fee, front by 66 feet deep with three l full stories above the basement The basement floor comprises three dining rooms, kitchen boiler, couvalescent and batt rooms, porter's quarters, etc.
 The first floor is devoted tt office, hall, waiting, nurse, thre' bath rooms and a number O wards for patients. The second floor is divided into wards, fou baths, sewing room and rooms for male help. The third foo comprises operating, surgica dressing, X-ray rooms, witl laboratory and several wards. The building is to be of bricl with cut stone trimmings, IS wei supplied with porches ant 1 yerandas, and the front show tour massive composition tiutet columns, with capitols and Ioni' designs reaching from the first tt the third floors.
 The designs call for inclined stairways reaching from thu basement to the top story upor which patients can be placed upon trucks and wheeled bv easy stages to any portion of the larg, building.
 Taken as whole this proposed hospital building is to be strictly nodern in every particular, { home for sick and disabled rail way employees that they can cal their own and will all be proud of, and located upon one of tho elevated plateus or foot hills ad jacent to the business portions o Mena will be an ornament to th' town and a constant source O. pride to every citizen.
