Simple Home Made Treatment Said To
 Overcome Rheumatism.

When an eminent authority an- nounced in the Scranton (Pa. Times that he had found a new way to treat that dread American disease, Rheumatism, with just common, every day drugs found in any drug store, the physicians were slow indeed to attach much importance to his claims. This was only few months ago. To- day nearly every newspaper in the country, even the metro politan dailies is announcing it and the splendid results achieved. It is so simple that any one can prepare 1t at home al small cost. It IS made up as follows: Get from any good prescription pharmacy Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsa- parilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking in bottle and take in tesspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. These are all simple ingredients, making an absolutely harmless home remedy at little cost.
 Rheumatism, as every one knows, is a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is a condition pro- duced by the failure of the kid neys to properly filter or strain srom the blood the uric acid and other matter which, if not eradi' cated, either m the urin oI through the skin pores, remains in the blood, decomposes and forms about the joints and mus cles, causing the untold suffering and deformity of rheumatism.
 This prescription is said to De splendid healing, cleansing and invigorating tonic to the kidneys and gives almost immediate re lief in all forms of bladder and urinary troubles and backache He also warns people in leading New York paper against the dis criminate use of many paten medicines.

Hidden Dangers
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
 Nobody Can Afford to Ignore.

Danger Signal No. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. We'll kidneys execrete a clear amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out thin, pale and foamy, or a thick, red, illsmelling. urine, full of sediment and irregular of passage.
 Danger Signal No.2 come from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of the coming of dropsy dia- betes and Brights disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys aud cure them permanently. Here's proof:
 s. Pickett, bookeeper, of 401 West Broad street, Texarkana, Arkansas, says: ''For several years l had attacks of dull ach- ing in the small of my back just over the kidneys. 1 knew from the action of the kidney secretious that my kidneys were disordered rbut l was unable, although tried l faithfully, to find any remedy or medicine which would check the attacks, let alone cure them. An advertisement about Doan's Kid ney Pills came to my notice. reasoned if they performed half they promised they might at least bring relief so l tried them. The treatment undoubtedly acted diretly on the kidneys and in a short time the weakness or irri' tation of these orgaus ceased and as result the backache disappear. ed.

ARKANSAS CONTRABAND GOODS.
United States Marshal Seizes $l,400
 Worth of Canned Fruit.

Kansas City, Feb. 1.-The United States district attorney was today notified that $l, 400 worth of canned goods had ar rived here from Arkansas with Michigan labels on the cans. United States Marshal Durham seized the entire lot. The fruit will be sold and the proceeds turned into the public treasury. This is the first seizure made here of contraband goods under the new national pure food law The law does not prohibit ths manufacture of impure food, but 1t demands that the labels on ths containers tell the truth. Michi' gan packed fruits command [ higher price on the market, snt fruit packers, therefore, hav' been buying crops in SoutherI states and putting Michigan pacl labels on the cans.

Harry D. Ravenscraft, chiei clerk of the freight department at Mena, has balanced up his books for January, and reports that the receipts for freight for January tn is year amount to $l,000 more than for last year. The passenger receipts are said to be about the same this year as last.
 This is certainly mighty good showing for Mena business in face of the general slump result ing from the money stringeucy u1der which the country has la bored.

STOLE PAIR OF SHOES
Hobo Arrested, Fined $50, Given 10 Days in Jail, and Then Lost
 the Shoes. Too.

A fine of $50 and ten days ir l jail was the package" handed
 out by Justice Smith Monday
 morning to hobo, who gave his
 name as Walter Manaha an, when
 arrested and brought before the
 Squire charged with stealing a
 pair of shoes valued at $2.50. From what could be learned, it seems that this hobo blowed luto Mena some time during last night
 with his foot gearing somewhat delapidated, and early this morn ing starred out to see what he could secure in the way of better shoes. About 8 o'clock while strolling along in front of the Locbridge dry goods store, his eyes fell upon pair of shoes about his size which had been placed out in front of the store for display.
 As no one was looking in his direction at the time, he reached over and secured tile box which contained the shoes, and placing them under his arm started of up Honert avenue toward Janssen park. On reaching the rear of the building he was met by a gentleman who took notice of the box under lis arm, which con- tained no wrapper around 1t, and becoming suspicious, the gentle man stepped into the store and notified Mir. Lochridge of what he had seen. An examination was at once made of the goods placed on display in front of the store and 1t was soon discovered that pair of shoes had been sto- len. Mir. Lochridge at once no- tified the officers, aud a search for the man with the stolen shoes was commenced.
 He was traced out through the west part of town and was finally located in box car in the rail- road yards near the derail, and placed under arrest. He had dis carded his old shoes and had on the pair which he had stolen, which were taken from him and returned to the owner.
 On being tried before Justice Smith he plead guilty and was fined as above stated.

SADDLE FOR HARD SERVICE.
Dickens & Steel Make Fine One for
 Forest Guard J. B. Earle.

Dickens & Steel, the harness and saddle makers on South Mena street, have just completed fine saddle for James B. Earle, who recently received the appointment of forest guard for the district adjoining Mena on the south and east.
 The saddle is of the heavy cow boy type and is made with view to the comfort of both rider and horse, and of the very best ma- terial throughout. All metal trimmings are of brass. Aside from being nicely decorated, on each side of the pummel there is shield, or badge of authority of the forest ranger. On the shield in raised leather is pine tree, with the letters "U. S." on either side. On the back of the seat in raised letters IS MT. Earle's name. This is also stamped on other parts of the saddle. Good sized saddle bags are attached and a fine saddle holster, also made by Dickens & Steel, for the reception of an automatic rifle, complete the outfit.
 The saddle complete will weigh something over 50 pounds, and cost a tidy sum.
 Mir. Earle is now in active ser. vice and says that he finds a great deal of work already mapped out for him. He vii make Mena his headquarters.

ESCAPED VACANCY LAW.
Men Arrested for Hoboes Make Good With Squire Smith ard Are
 Released.

esSAS8SSos
 A bunch of nine men hailing from different sections of the country, were rounded up, part from the sand house iu the Kan sas City Southern yards and others from hobo camps along the railroad, by Deputy Con- stable J. T. Donaldson who placed them in the county jail where they spent the remainder of the night.
 On Tuesday they were taken before Justice Sam Smith, who sized them up as being working men and not hoboes, and upon examination it was found that all of the men were ''horny- handed sons of toil.' Each one of the men had little money and stated that they were not going over the country begging, but were looking for work.
 Justice Smith, believing these men to be what they claimed, released them, and after thank. ing Mir. Smith for his kindness took their departure for other parts of the country.
