A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick kidneys Weaken the Whole Body -Make You Ill, Languid and
 DenreSSnd


 Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of life giving albumen from the blood into poisonous acids that goes broadcast through the system, sowing the seeds or disease. Loss of albumen causes weakness, langour depression. Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, ner- vousness, nausea, cricks in the back, gravel and kidney stones The proper treatment is a kidney treatment, and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great Pine Bluff cures prove it. D. Horner, farmer, living three and half miles northeast of Pine Bluff, Ark, says: "The action of my kid neys was irregular for quite a while, although l had no pain in my back like most people suffer It was blad- der trouble and I had no control over the kidney secretions, and had to get out of bed as often as ten times dur i'll the night I tried different rem edies but obtained no relief until a neighbor advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. After I purchased a box and began their use I was aston ished to notice the good effect it had and the use of less than three boxes completely relieved me of the trouble. have always kept this remedy by me since to have in case of need"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inhamed condition of the mucous ln- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con- dition of tho mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free.

PINE BLUFF LINE
 SEEMS ASSURED
Stockholders of Intcrurban Meet and Devise Plan of Popular Sub scriptiOn to Bonds to
 Complete Project.

At meeting of the stockholders of
 the Little Rock and Pine Bluff Inter- 1 urban line, held yesterday at the office
 of the secretary, J. NJ. Rose, plans
 were formed for financing the project, and it is believed that the construc-
 tion of the road is now assured, says
 the Little Rock Gazette.
 After the stockholders have con
 tween Little Rock and Pine Bluff first
 mortgage bonds will be placed upon the market to raise the balance of the money and the public generally will be given an opportunity to purchase these bonds and aid in the construc- ton of the road.
 The usual procedure in work of this sort is to dispose of the bonds to some bond-buying firm. the stock holders and contributors from the cut side having second chance at getting
 their money back. Under the plan adopted the bonds will be offered to the public at large
 John M. Rose, secretary of the com pany, stated last night that it was estimated that $1OO,00o would con- struct the grade and minor bridges between Little Rock and Pine Bluff Approximately. five miles of grading has been done on the line on the J. R. Alexander place.
 The greatest cost will be the bridge across the Arkansas river at Bells Ferry, it being estimated that $30,000 will be required for this bit of en- gineering.
 The route that has been selected is one that offers no particular difficulty in the way of engineering problems. The first stop on the route is Gallo way. and from that point the road passes through the c. N. Alexander place to Scotts Crossing, skirts the banks of Old river, crosses the Rob inson and J. R. Alexander places to Clear Lake, from which place a branch three miles long will be extended to England From Clear Lake the line follows the general direction of the Arkansas river to Bells Ferry, where a bridge will be constructed to carry the line across the river, and from the point of crossing it runs in a dlrect line to Pine Bluff

The hall was still ringing with the
cheers of the triumphant Foster root

men moved forward on the edge of
their chairs and Marian's face went
deadly white.
For moment Graves stood INSTEAD

which Marian's stood out distinctly.
Even at that distance he could see
that she was intensely interested, and
the thought that she counted on his
treachery hurt for a moment, even
though he realized that it was natural
that she should be interested In her
fathers success.
To him the time seemed an hour; to
others 1t seemed full minute though
1t was not one-quarter of that time.

serters.
AS for the hundredth time his eye

Crosby county stood committed to

eleven votes added and the eleven tax

The head Of the Crosby delegation was
Howard Graves. The others would
vote as he voted. And only few days
before Graves had asked consent to
marry Marian WOODLAND!
At the time Woodham had refused
because Graves was young attorney
still struggling for recognition ut the
bar, while Woodham was ambitious
for his daughter. Now he drew q
sheet Of paper toward him and wrote
rapidly for a moment. Then he thrust
the sheet into an envelope and called
a messenger.

Standing
The Test.
BY 6O. r. Bryan.
Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated
Literary Press.

EXCITEMENT was at white heat in the
convention town. The ring was in the
last ditch, fighting gamely. Robert
Woodham, who had led many another
forlorn hope and who had grown gray
IN the service of his party (as he had
understood that service), shook his
head as he went over the columns of
figures In the inner Office at the tenn
porary headquarters.
Try as he would he could not figure
q victory. The two-thirds rule pre-
vailed and he could count barely a
majority for the ring candidate. The
nomination Of Dudley for governor
meant the triumph Of the reform fac
ton and the utter disruption Of the
state machine, for Foster stood
pledged to investigate to the fullest
the graft charges brought against the
ring.
On the other hand, Graham Bailey
was secretly pledged to forget the
same promises he had made Appar-
emily both men were eager to uncover
the graft that was the disgrace Of the
party, but Foster alone was sincere.
The exposure of the graft scandals
would not affect Woodham directly.
He had always kept himself clear of
the crooked work in the party. Could
1t be accomplished quietly, he would
welcome the feat of Kidding the party
of those politicians who were respon-
sible for the scandal, but here lay the
trouble! The graft was widespread.
Its uncovering would disrupt the en-
tire party machine. New and mex
perienced men would be placed in
charge of the party interests, and no
members of the old ring could find a
place In the councils.
To Robert Woodham politics was as
the breath of life to his nostrils. He
had played the game from the day
that he had organized the Junior
Marching club in the little village
which had been his boyhood home.
1t was his sole relaxation. Other stra-
tegists played chess. He preferred
the political pawn to the bits Of carved
wood or ivory and his board was an
entire state
Now he saw the end of 1t ALL I'm
less on an early ballot he could swing
