Arkansas Prosperous in 1906.

The entire state of Arkansas en- joyed a prosperous year in 1906 and the outlook is bright for 1907. The Mercantile Agency of. R. G. Dun x Co.,. whose branch office in Little Rock is in touch with all parts of the state, forwarded it's annual review of trade conditions in Little Rock and Arkan- sas to the home office yesterday. The report will be published in Dun's Re view. The following is an extract from the report:
 Trade conditions for the year of 1906 in Little Rock and throughout the state of Arkansas show pros porous condition, and the state to have kept pace with the general develop ment of the country.
 ''The volume of trade has been greater than ever before. More new houses were established, more new mills put in operation, more farming lands cleared and more coal mined and more lumber cut than ever before fn the history of the state.

The instructions from the re- spective senders of the plates I read with avidity. Each fresh letter was like the arrival in the prison cell of a warder-welcome, even if accom- panied by task.

 The tension was not relieved when found a note a month old, left by my predecessor in office, intimating his intention of committing suicide. The cheery manager shook my hand each day, surreptitiously feeling my pulse the while. The hope that springs eternally in the human breast received a slight encouragement a few days later. Slowly developing before my eyes, and distinctly visible was a scene of busy quay-a steamer, gangways, and people hurrying on board.

 Pink Pills.

Mrs. S. c. Wellock, of IA Cleveland Avenue, Everett, Mass, the wife of an employe in the government works at Chelsea, says:
 T had been troubled with nervous. ness for ten years and the disease kept growing on me. Then I learned that I was suffering from locomotor ataxia. I had terrible tremblings in my right leg which would get rigid and when this happened in the street I mad to stand still until it passed away to keep from falling. My right arm felt as if a thousand needles were pricking it. The sheet touching my knee in bed would nearly cause me to scream out with pain and both knees were so weak I could hardly stand.
 q had to use cane and be helped about by my son. Then the pain be and the muscles became numb and quivered constantly. The cords un- der my knees seemed to be drawn up tight and the terrible shooting pains in my legs would nearly drive me in. sane. My toes became numb and at times would prickle as if needles were being thrust into them. My eyes be- came dull and black spots floated be fore them. My heart was very weak
 My attention was called to Dr. Williams Pink Pills and I bought sev. eral boxes right away and soon felt relief. I was so pleased that I kept on taking them until they cured me entirely, and I have had no symptoms of the trouble for over a year"

Safe. Sure and Speedy,

No external remedy ever yet de- vised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manu- faetured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingre- dients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which plaster is re- Quired. They are speedy in their ac- tion because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin.
 Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively initiated, therefore always make cure and get the genuine.

 '"The bank clearances of Little Rock have increased s10,000,000 over 1905. Mercantile inquiries have been great CT than ever before, which indicates a great increase in the volume of business.
 ''The records show that the number of failures in Arkansas for 1905 were 352, against 351 for 1906. And while the failures are nearly the same, the number of new traders, manufacturers and other commercial enterprises have been growing, and, taking these into consideration, is shows relative decrease of commercial disasters. Or these failures, B occurred in Little Rock and 15 in Argenta. Most Of these failures were small and unim- portant.
 Local records show that there were 346 new concerns that went into business in Little Rock during the year 1906. and only 302 concerns discontinued during that time, which shows a healthy increase and general activity.
 "Argenta shows S2 new concerns which went into business in that city and 6S discontinuances.
 During the year substantial head way has been made toward the up- building of Little Rock in many ways. One of the handsomest hotels in the Southwest has been built. The first modern steel skyscraper has begun erection. The new Union station is now in the course of erection. and, when finished. will be one of the fin- est in the South.
 "The state capitol building is now approaching completion and when fin ished will compare favorably with any in the country. The commanding site of the new capitol adds greatly to the beauty of the city, and pre- sents an imposing appearance.
 Last, but not least, survey has already been made for an interurban
 
 the enterprise has been practically completed on terms and condition usual for enterprises of such import ance and magnitude.
 "A new jobbing district has been established in the lower end of East Markham street, and handsome build, ings have been erected with spacious and modern up-to-date equipments.
 'In the vicinity of this district new and up-to-date cold storage plants have been built, with modern equipments, which greatly facilitate trade in tropi- cal fruits and perishable merchandise. New storage houses are being bull for the receiving and forwarding of merchandise, grain and other commo' dities.
 Everything points to large volume of business for 1907.'

On January 1, 1905, there was in the general revenue fund S361,- 433.44. The expenses of running the state government with the legislature in session was such two years ago that State Auditor Moore was com pelled to send out circular letters to sheriffs over the state asking them to pay in their part of collections to the state prior to making their settle ments with the county court in July. Had he not done this, there would not have been sufficient funds in the general revenue fund at the close of the legislature to pay salaries of state officials. With but S190,S46.14 ill the general revenue fund at this time, Auditor Moore is of the opinion that unless something is done before June 1, there will be deficit of more than s100,000 in the general revenue fund.
