Rest is the great restorer. We Tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; yet a great many of
us do not stop to think how little rest
we give to our stomaehs. AS a usual
thing no part of our bodies is so
generally over-worked as our
dig estive organs. A tired and over
worked stomach will give signs of
distress to which we pay nc heed until
at last dyspepsia takes hold.
Indigestion is just a warning, and if
we heed the warning we can easily
avoid further consequences. XODOL
IS a most thorough stomach relief.

TWO MILES FURTHER

The commissioners of Improvement District No. 1 of Jefferson County met Saturday afternoon in County Judge Gould's office. At this meeting tha bond issue for the continuing of the work was fully discussed. An offer |of 96 cents On the dollar for thu bonds was rejected by the commission CTS, as they think they can do better
 with them. At meeting recently 1t was decided to extend the macadam road to the county line, thus making the twelve miles in length, insteai |of ten as was first intended. To fin ish the work on this road will re- quire the greater part of year, even though the first rock was spread ou

alleged by Murray to be copy of the original, was filed. Another copy of an alleged receipt, given by Jones to MT. Rutherford, in which it is stated that $4.000 was given Jones by MT. Rutherford to resign, was also filed.
 The petitioner says that Jones al- so gave MT. Rutherford, among the effects or Wiley Jones, a diamond stud and diamonH ring. He charges that the attorneys for the estate and for MT. Rutherford ac- cepted $5,O0O as their fee for ser vices, from MT. Rutherford.
 The petitioner claims to be a creditor of the Wiley Jones estate in the sum of S12,0O0 or more. Some of his claims were allowed, but were afterwards appealed and the cases are now pending in the circuit court. He charges further that the Pine Bluff Trust Company is not a proper administrator, in view of the fact that MT. Ruther- ford owns six hundred shares of the stock in that institution.
 It is also charged by the petition CT that County Judge James Gould had pecuniary and direct interest in appointing the Pine Bluff Trust Company administrator in success sion, as he also holds stock in the number of 12O shares in the bank ing company. The whole proceed ings, the petitioner charges is a fraud.

below the burned end of the fuse was found a partially burned match, showing that 1t was used to start the process which was intended to loosen the death dealing force of the explosive. The sticks were se- curely tied together, and the length of the fuse was sufficient to have required several minutes in it's con- sumption before the caps would have been reached, and the work of destruction started. This would have given the intended murderers time to get out of harms way. The opinion of experts is that there was enough dynamite in the two sticks to have destroyed the house, seriously damaged the homes on ei- ther side and killed or maimed for life their inmates.
 In the room just over the spot where the instrument of death was dlScOyered, three children were sleeping the sleep of the innocent, little dreaming that, but for tue accidental dying out of little spark, Heaven only knows by what agency, they were saved from a most horrible death.
 The dynamite was taken to po- lice headquarters this. morning, and is there being preserved. The entire force has been galvanized in- to action by it's discovery and the realization of what awful fate came so near shaking the community, tiguratively as we'll as literally.

Men Have Been Working Night and Day to Repair Cables Damaged by Small Boys and a Storm
MANY PHONES OUT
More Than Two Hundred Telephones Were Out of COmmissiOn-Causes of the Recent TrOubles-Cables Burned by Small Boy.

/ About two hundred phones in this city, operated by the Southwestern Telephone company, have been out of commission during the past week.
 The company now thinks, how ever, that they are about all fixed, and that
 those that are not~will be repaired in the next day or so.
 There are several reason for the trouble, one of which was that the cable on Walnut street, which carries
 10 wires, was shot into by someone with small rife, and the rain dam peAed the insolation, and thus afford
 ed conductor for the electric cur rent, burning out the cable. All of the trouble has happened to this one
 cable, the one running south on Wal nut street.
 In another case the cable was bro ken at the joint by the recent storm
 and the wires broken. In another case the cable fell down on a live
 wire, and the cable was again burned. At another time the cable backs were left open and the rain wet the inso-
 lation on the cabled wires, and the same cable burned again.
 The entire force has been working
 day and night and Sunday as we'll, in order to repair the damage. Man ager Dorman said Saturday tha he
 thoght the troubles of the telephone
 company at this time were about set
 tied. He further said that several Of
 the small boys of the city have a bad
 habit of shooting into the telephone
 cables whenever they feel like it, and
 that in every case it causes the cable
 to burn This causes trouble not
 only to the telephone comany, but also
 to the patrons whose phones are out of use on account of it. "It fact" he continued, "it is nuisance to the en-
 tire city"

Attached to these sticks were sever al feet of fuse, and the end of this; for an inch. or more, had been burned. Then, through special dispensation of providence, the fa- tai spark evidently had died, there by granting new lease of life to the intended victim, as we'll as a score of others, who dwelt in this, and the neighboring houses.

 That MT. Cockrill is alive today, and that his wife and family are merely in state of nervous ex- citement and fear, can be explained only by the apparent failure of the fuse, attached to the internal ma chine, to burn until the explosion would have followed. At 2 o'clock

 an Exciting Twelve In-

WARES TIMELY HIT
Won the Game For the High Lifes- Mullen Allowed Only Four Scat tered iHts-"Sandy' Reeves Was Pounded for Eight.

The Miller High Life team defeat ed the Arkansas Nationals at Forest Park Saturday afternoon in one of the most exciting twelve-inning games ever seen on the local diamond by d score of 3 to 2. The feature of the game was the playing of Carl Ware at short for the High Lilies. Wares hit in the twelfth also brought in the winning run. A big crowd witnessed the game.
 The run-getting started in the third when the High Lilies, by hard hitting, scored two runs. In the eighth the Nationals tied the score, and the tie remained until the twelfth when Wares timely hit with White on base brought in the winning run.
 Mullin pitched a good game for the High Lilies, allowing the Nationals but four scattered hits, while his team mates made eight off of Reeves. This is the second game the High Lilies and the Nationals have played. The first was a tie, sixteen innings, neither team scoring. So it seems that local amateur ball is about as good as can be found in the minor leagues.
