There was a teacher, teaching In a

daily gifts of flowers from one OF her
pupils. a ragged little boy. The flow

dollhouse blooms, sometimes simple. old
fashioned garden flowers AS a rule
they were somewhat faded. One day
the boy brought the teacher a great
bouquet of mauve orchids. To be sure.
they were much wilted. but none the

THE LIMIT OF LIFE.

The most eminent medi cal scientists are
unanimous in the conclusion that the gen
orally accepted limitation Of human life is
many year, below the attainment possible
with the advanced know edge If which the
race is now possessed. The critical period,
that determines its duration, seems to be
between so and 90; the proper care of the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; -carelessness then being fatal
to longevity. Natures bes helper after so
is Electric Bitters, the scientific tonic medi-
cine that revi'alizes every organ Of the body.

CONTEST
Governor Vardaman Will Contest Election for United States
 $ en a tor
STEALS ARE ALLEGED BY HIM.
Official Announcement Made by Both Candidates-Th Legislature May Have to Decide the Result for
 Both Senator and Governor

Jackson, Miss. Aug. 5.-Char- ging that fraudulent returns have been made, the campaign mana gers of Governor Vardaman, run ming for the Democratic nomina- tiOn for the United States sena- torship against John Sharp Will Hams, and Hon. Chas. Scott, gub- ernatOrial candidate, make off cial announcement that the cleo tion on the face of the returns of August will be contested. Steals are alleged to have been made in the counties of Alcorn, IsSaqu- enna, Pearley and Washington, crippling the chances of Varda- man and Scott. The legislature will be asked to decide the issue on which will hinge the next oc- cupation of the gubernatorial mansion and the senatorial seat.
 Says Gov. Vardaman: M y chances for nomination are equal with those of Williams. It is a close race, and the official count will be necessary. 1 think the advantage is with me The esti- mate of 600 lead for Williams is eXtravagant."
 Mir. Williams says: I've heard nothing to change the situation. I am still in the lead by the esti- mates of all the newspapers and from figures received from all counties. 1 am confident that the official count will only increase my majority"

FAMOUS
Pike County, Arkansas, Has Sud denly Found Fame Through
 Her Diamond Fields.
REPORT OF DR. GEO. E. KUMz
United States Geological Suraey Will Soon Issue an Official Bulletin Highly Favorable to Prospects
 of These Fields.

Washington, D. C., Aug. D. The recent discoveries of dia- monds in Pike county, Ark, are believed by the Geological Sur evy to be bona tide. Extensive investigations have been made by experts in whom the survey has confidence and the results are to be set forth in a few days in bulletin giving the exact facts.
 It is known that this bulletin will incline to the view that per haps the diamond field of the Un- tied States has been found in Arkansas. Many phases of the inquiry are yet to be ascertained, for instance, the relative value of the Arkansas stones compared with those from the A fir c a n fields, but it appears to be the belief here that unless favorable facts be added to those already known, Arkansas soon will be mining the most valuable miner al substance taken from the ground in the world.
 Dr. Geo. F. Lung of the cele- brated jewelry house of Tiffany of New York has made d report to E. w. Parker of the mines di. vision of the Geological Survey which is soon to be issued as an official publication by the survey, It is claimed that Dr. kunz takes strong ground in favor of Ark ansas stones and gives the result of rather careful and extensive inquiry into the subject.
 It is impossible to obtain any thing more in detail at this time or to give technical statements from the experts, who are re serving their data for the official publications which are to be is. sued, but that the foregoing epi- tomize the situation was stated today to reporter by one of the Geological Surveys Xperts,

 Month When Found.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. B. Missing for nearly month, Dr. l.. T. Lindley's body was found dead in the Arkansas river near HOlla Bend.

During 1904 he married one of Redland town ships prominent young ladies. They lived together about a year, and separated. A divorce was granted to Mrs. Lindley at the last June term of Nevada Chan cery court. Lindley left here about two years ago and has been living at different places in Ark ansaS since that time.

The proclamation to the offering of the reward was posted with the secretary of state in the middle of the forenoon and sets out that unknown person or persons rob bed ond murdered Dr. Lindley, and then threw his body into the Arkansas river. So far no trace has been found of the guilty par ty or parties.

How They Get Ahead

New towns in the southern part
of this state are growing in phen-
omenal manner and eastern people
are focking to the newly irrigated
districts by hundreds. A promin-
ent official and large stockholder
in the Twin Falls project, while in
Meadows recently, said: 'It is not
that we have so much better terri
tory than other points, but because
our people all advertise; our mer-
chants and business men are wide
awake advertisers and there is not
rancher on the tract who does not
have and use printed stationery.
1t is advertising that is building
up the southern Idaho country"
Results have ever shown the
wisdom and benefits of judicious
advertising and the older commune
ties of the state should learn valu-
able lessons from the new towns
which are leaving them far behind
