Tremendous Popularity Of the Vegetable PIescrip- tion'' Is a Great Sur prise.
DRUGGISTS KEPT BUSY
No Sufferer af kidney CT Bladder Troubles 8r Rheumatism SItould Leave it ntried-Vrry Few Cases Which Fail to Find Relief,

That the readers of this paper aD- preciate advice when given ill good faith is plainly demonstrated by the fact that one Well-known local phat-
 macy filled the vegetable -preserip- tiona many times within the past two weeks. Most Of these folks naturally i bought the ingredients only and mix ed them al home. The announce ment of this simple, harmless mix ture has certainly accomplished mnca in reducing the great many cases 3l kidney complaint and rheumatism 1 here, relieving pain and misery, e5s- pecially among the older population who are always suffering more or less with bladder or urinary trou- bles, backache and particularly rehu- matism.
 Another wellknown druggist asks us to continue the announcement of the prescription. It is doing so much real good here, he continues, that It NouJu DC q Ci llHC HOL tO llO SO. It CGn not be repeated too often, and further
 states many cases of remarkable
 cures wrought.
 The following is the prescription,
 of vegetable ingredients, making a
 harmless, inexpensive compound,
 which any person can prepare by
 shaking we'll in a bottle: Fluid Ex-
 tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
 ounces. Any first-class drug store
 will sell this small amount of each
 ingredient, and the dose for adults
 is one teaspoonful to be taken after
 each meal and again at bedtime. There is enough here to last for one week, if taken according to directions. Good results will be apparent from the first dose.

Eight Thousand Troops Arc ill Guaten1alan Border, and 5000 More Are With in If Hours Reach.
ASSASSINATION FAKE
American Business Man Returning From Guatemala Declares It Was d Powder Cap Affair Matched Cp by Cabrera.
by Cabrera.

Mexico City, May 27.-MeXico has 5000 men fully equipped and on war footing now on the Guatemaan frontier Distributed at strategic points to the south of the capital are 5000 additiona troops. which bodies of soldiery can be transported to the border on twenty-four hours notice.
 While there is a disposition in official circles to modify the height of the tension existing between President Estranda Cabera and the Mexican government, it is ad- lhitted on all sides that should Ca brera carry out his intention o shooting the nineteen men accused of complicity in the alleged attempt to assassinate him, Mexico would be forced to intervene.
 More light is thrown on the re- cent alleged attempt to assassinate President Cabrera of Guatemala by A. P. Hawley, an American busi- ness man who has returned from a trip to Guatemala and Central Am erican republics.
 Two days after the alleged at tempt,' said Mir. Hawley, cit was known all over Central America that the whole business was a sadly garbled plan framed up by Cabrera himself in an inspired mo- ment to arouse the sympathy of the country and of the neighboring re- publics.
 "All he got was thinly veneered note of regret and sym pathy from the various diplomats who were, as matter of courtesy, obliged to accept the statement of the government on the subject.
 "In Guatemala City everyone knows that the explosion of a few harmless powder caps was all pre- arranged affair. Cabrera had an- other motive in the business. too. Nineteen men were arrested, charg- ed with the crime, and. after fast ening the charge upon them, he is going to show his great and good magnanimity to all the world by pardoning each and every one of them. This little play is to gain the confidence of the outside world.

PINE BLUFF
 POSTOFFICE
Receives Notice of Proposed Issuance of Assortment of New Designs for Stamped Envelopes and
 Newspaper Wrappers.

The Pine Bluff postoflicc has rv- cpiVcd notice that shortly after June 90 the department will begin the issue of embossed stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers of q now and original design in four denominations, 1c, % 4c and 5c.
 The form of these stamps will be an elpse on end The subjects and the colors of their back grounds will be:
 One cent, Benjamin Franklin, green.
 Two cents, George Washington, red
 Four cents, Benjamin Franklin, black
 Five cents, George Washington, blue
 With a border surrounding the subject in bas relief will appear in White embossed capital letters the words united States" and the de- nomination cone cent,'' "Two cents, etc.). The denomination will appear also in large minerals q, a2, etc.,, one on each side of the subject.
 AS soon as the new envelopes are ready they will be issued upon postmasters' special request and office request acquisitions, but no plain stamped envelopes or news paper wrappers of the new designs will be issued until the depart ment's stock of the old designs is exhausted. Postmasters must moi make requisition for the purpose of securing office request or plain en- velopes or wrappers of the new de- signs until it becomes necessary Tn regular course of business to re- plenish their stocks. The depart- ment will not expedite the filling of acquisitions merely to give post masters envelopes or wrappers of the new design.
 Postmasters must not send in their undamaged envelopes and wrappers of the present designs for redemption. They will continue to be valid for postage and postmas- ters will sell them until exhausted.
 Soon after June 30 the United States stamped envelope agency will be moved from Hartford, Conn.,, to Dayton, Ohio, where the envelopes and wrappers are to be manufactured under a new contract, taking effect July 1, 1907. The removal will cause the filling of acquisitions from that agency to be somewhat delayed at first. Postmasters will understand the reason if deliveries on their requi- sitions are not made in the usual time, and avoid unnecessary cores pondence on the subject. To prevent their supplies from becoming ex hausted because of such delay, post masters should make acquisitions to reach the department not later than June P for an ample stock of office request and plain stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers to be fur nished before the removal of the en- velope agency; and regular users of special request envelopes should be notified that their orders for envel- opes needed promptly should be plac- ed to reach the department by June P.
