Obituary.

On the 18th of May, 1907, the death angel visited the home of our brother and sister, l.. l.. and Ella Dallas, near Vilonia, Ark, and claimed fot the land of heavenly bliss the sweet spirit of little Yer non Lloyd.
 Two years ago the 10th of May this precious jewel came to bless the home of our brother and sister. From it's opening on earth to its transplanting in the Garden of Heaven, this sweet little flower shed fragrance and beauty on the lives of all 1t touched. His inno- cent little life, though short it seemed to us, brought sunshine and joy to many hearts, which will finger to bliss and hallow with sa- cred influence long after its close. The presence of the little one so precious to papa and mama, broth CT and sister, was still more precious to the great loving Father in Heav- en and the holy angels, hence He, in his infinite wisdom and unspeak- able love, both for little Vernon and the dear ones left behind, has taken him to Himself
 Dear papa and mama, little Lon 70 and baby sister, our darling is safe from the allurements of the world, from the power of sin and Satan, and he reaches back his sweet little hands fondly beckon- ing you and all of us to come on. With fearful but complete submis sion to the will of our heavenly Father, we again take up our heaven-appointed duties comforted and encouraged by the thought ex- pressed by the poet:
 Farther along we'll know more about it
 Farther along we'll understand why"
 Written by one who loved little Vernon. LUTHER T. GRAY

The long drouth was broken last Sat urday evening with a fine rain which will help cotton so much ill the way of maturing. It will stop it from opening premature and the bolls will grow larg- CT.

DONAGHEY FOR GOVERNOR
Former Citizen of Conway Favors Election
 of His Old Friend.

Editor Log Cabin Demoorat:- l see by your paper that Geo. w.. Donaghey has decided to make the race for governor, and as I lived in Conway IS years and have known George, as l must call him, almost from boyhood, 1 feel 1t a friendly duty to say something in his be- half. l have had numerous deal ings with George, having worked for him when he was a small con- tractor and 1 never had dealings with a better man and I have worked for many.
 MT. Donaghey is a big hearted man of splendid intellect and abil- ity and never does things by halves. He has always taken an interest in the welfare of his state and her people, though not poli- tician or a lawyer. 1 don't think the grand old state of Arkansas or her people would make a mistake in selecting him as their chief execu- tive. There may be some as good as MT. Donaghey, but none better fitted for the position.

TRIP TO THE DENTISTS.

Written by Hope, the ten year-old daughter of
 Rev. and Mrs. E. A. Tabor. I went to the dentists today, And must go there again on the nor I look forward with quaking and fear And my mother looks forward with
 sorrow. If you've been to the dentists you'll
 know
 But if you have not I can tell you
 lot, And I'll not have to describe my deep
 woe Then you'll know what to expect when
 you go. First he says, Alright, little lady, We're ready for that tooth of yours now. Jump right up in the chair And the pain try to bear; know you'll not make any row" If the tooth is going to be filled, You may feel you are going to be killed For when he filled mine, felt most like cryin' For he drilled and he drilled and he
 drilled. First he took glass and examined the
 tooth,
 Then he took a pick and picked He then took a needle hitched on to
 wheel
 And, oh, how that old tooth kicked. Then he put rubber over my mouth "To stop up my yell' (Gladys said) And then he sawed and buzzed and
 picked,
 Till I was almost dead. Then he put in some filling and pound
 ed and pounded And put in some more and did the
 same He kept that up for about thirty min
 utes,
 And I tell you! didn't feel very
 tame. But l received some education while in
 the chair
 For I learned something by heart. Twas a Coca Cola sign on the opposite
 wall
 And 1 learned it twixt many start. And now, my dear, I've finished my say
 And hope you are not very tired For wanted to warn you right away So trip to the dentists will not be
 required.

from the treasury than their work is worth, releasing themselves from their bond or any liability in the matter.
 We have said the contractors were to be blamed, but really the large part of the censure should go back of them to the commissioners who have permitted the present condition to arise. They, together with the states architect, have been iu league with the contractors throughout, taking their side of every contention instead of the side of the state which employed them. We do not charge any graft upon their part, but, as business proposition, the state capitol com missioners are an egregious failure.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She scaldS it thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun bath to Sweeten 1t. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taint the butter that is made in it. The stomach is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro- cesSes which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into it?
 The evil of foul stomach is not alone the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem- ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn-a bsolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele- ment. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
 If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and Respondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom- ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter r'sings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any consider able number of them, indicate that you are suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy liver with the usual accompanying indi- gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant Arrangements.

FOR GOVERNOR GEORGE w. DONAGHEY OF FAULKNER COUNTY
GENERAL KIRBY,S OPINION.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby on last Saturday rendered an opin- ion, which is printed in full in another part of The Log Cabin Democrat, to the effect that no further funds were available from the state capitol fund. The con- missioners had asked MT. Kirby to decide whether or not they were authorized to use the one million dollar appropriation in construc- ton work above the basement floor line, or whether the cost of this work, amounting as they claim to $I75,oo should be sub tracted from the original appropri- tion.
 MT. Kirby, however, did not discuss this phase of the question, but proceeded on the broad consti- tutional provision that no funds at all were available, nor indeed had any been available since last April, for the reason that the constitution provided that no appropriation should be made for more than two years. This million-dollar appro- priation was made by the legisla- ture of 1905 and was not renewed by the last legislature.
 Unless, therefore, the opinion of MT. Kirby is reversed by higher court or a special session of the legislature is convened, no further money will be available for the capitol work.
 The question naturally arises, "Who is to blame for this condi- ton of affairs?" The Little Rock papers, in their zeal to defend the capitol contractors, Caldwell & Drake, of course lay the blame upon the legislature and the "ob- structionists' who blocked the ef- forts of the contractors to railroad big appropriations through the general assembly,. But neither the $500, 900 appropriation, which Caldwell & Drake boodled some $2o,o 900 in a vain effort to get through in 1905, nor the S325, 900 attempted this year was to apply on the original contract, but to pay for extras
 The truth of the business is, Caldwell Sc Drake are themselves to be blamed for the condition. They took contract under which they agreed under bond, to con struct the capitol as planned for $e4o ,ooo and guaranteed to com plete the building by December g, 1905. If they had done their work even within sixteen months after the expiration of their allot- ted time, there would have been no lapse in the appropriation. The money was in the treasury for them and they never experienced any difficulty in cashing their warrants. But they purposely delayed the work, and devoted their energies to fruitless endeavors to poodle graft measures through the legisla ture.
 We believe that the opinion de- livered by MT. Kirby is just what the contractors wanted. They have seen the futility of bribery and cor ruption in obtaining graft appro- priations from the state; they have learned that if they make any money on their contract they must make it honestly, fact which they did appear to grasp in the begin ming; and they are now ready to quit, leaving, the building half completed and having drawn more

Sible for Accident.

ifornia was held here today. Mr.. john

the party, his wife and Mr.. and Mrs John
II. Blake Of Philadelphia, were seriously
injured.
The inquest lasted three hours, and the
Jury brought in a verdict that de
ceased met his death by the upsetting Of
the motor car. and great blame attaches
to the driver for allowing the car to get
beyond control. He should be severely
censured, and the jury believes the aus
thOrities should give more prominent nG-
tice of the danger presented by the cor
ner where the accident occurred"
After the delivery of the verdict the
coroner censured the chauffeur, a man
named Kent. in strong terms for his care
result OF his injuries and the shock, ap-
peared TO feel his position keenly.
At the opening of the inquiry, J. T.
Mabey. resident Of Berkeley, Cal, gavs
evidence as to the identity of the de-
ceased. The evidence of Mrs. Johnson
was taken in her bedroom. She said sha
believed Kent slowed down on approaches
ing the scene of the upset, but according
to other witnesses. the car was travelling
at a dangerous speed. Kent testified that
he started down the hill at eight miles
an hour. He gained a speed of fourteen
miles an hour and then applied the sids
burst When the crash came, he said, he
certainly was not exceeding eight miles
an hour. He was not aware that the hill
was so dangerous.

them full instructions as to their course
of conduct towards the strikers He

patible with the proper maintenance OF
the law.
In the meantime the municipalities
continue to join the anti-tax strike.
Altogether some fifty local bodies in
the four departments mostly concerned
have handed in their designations. The
outgoing municipal officers in some
cases are walling up the doors of town
halls. with the object of keeping out
any temporary commission the prefect
may appoint to carry out the local ad-
ministration.
The time set by the general growers
committee for the resignation of all the
municipal officers expires tonight If
this movement is to become general

number of towns left without local
government.
The central committee of the wine
growers met tonight at Argaliers and
adopted number of resolutions of Sc
rious import which show that the
growers have no present intention of
abandoning the fight. Circulars will be
