Democracy Made Great
Gains in Many States and
Numbers of Democratic
Governors Elected.
West Virginia Lost to the
Elkins Machine.

Colorado and Nevada, originally
conceded to Bryan, take their place ID
the Taft column.
In Indiana the Democrats, in addi-
ton to electing the governor, control
the legislature, which wi name
Successor to Senator Homenway, and
have captured eleven Of the thirteen
congressional districts.
Taft's plurality in Maryland is now
placed at 1856. The Democrats have
not abandoned hope. A 81 Lit electoral
vote is possible.
The electoral vote OF Missouri is IN
doubt, later returns practically whip
ing out Bryan's lead.
The Democrats won sweeping VIC
tory in Nebraska, carrying the State
for Bryan, eleoting the governor and
ave of the six congressman, and Sc
curing an overwhelming majority in
theiegislature.
Judge Harmon has been elected gov
ernor of Ohio by 10000 plurality
Taft's plurality in the State is $1,000
The legislature democratic by small
majority.
The next House of Representative
probably will stand: Republicans, 2lS
Democrats, lib.
Mr.. Taft has carried Greater New
York, by Is 600 and the who.e' state
by probably 100000.
The latest news gives Z OF the cleo.

but indications point to the fact thai
taft has carried the State of Missouri
and the legislature Is in doubt.
The Baltimore Sun finds that it doe {

patrons who will never come back.

DEATH OF MRS. DAN WYlDS
One of Nt. Francis County's Most Gem tie. Christian Characters, Answers
 the Summons.

Mrs. Dan Nylds, who died at the family homestead, seven miles south east of Forrest City, at noon on We'd
 nesday. October 23, 1908, was born in i Indiana in lSi5. She grew to young
 womanhood, receiving the common school education, and cultivated her naturally lovely disposition and char. i acter, until she was known far and
 near by host of admiring friends for l her truly southern geniality and hos
 pitality. Everybody who knew Mrs 1 Dan Wylds could not but love and
 admire her for her sweet, pure charac-
 ter and gentle motherly manner. She
 was stricken with that dread malady
 from which she passed away, several years ago, and has been more or less an invalid since, though she bore her sufferings patiently and without mur- mering and continued at most times to attend her usual household duties. For two or three years she had been growing worse and weaker, and last year went to Arizona, and spent sev- eral months there with her daughter, Mrs. Mcdowell, with the hope that the genial climate might restore her, or at least prolong her life. But even this and all that skilled physicians could do could not avail against the great white angel, and the Lord called her home to cease her sufferings and rest forevermore with the host of the redeemed.
 Mrs. Wylds was q fond wife and mother. She leaves broken hus- band two manly sons and a devoted daughter Mrs W. r. McDowell.) the latter being and residing in far away Arizona and not being present at the funeral.
 The precious remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Wylds cemetery at II o'clock on Thursday forenoon of last week, Rev. Boone l.. Milford, of the Methodist church, of this city, con ducting the last sad rites, in the pres ence of large and sorrowing number of relatives and friends.
 Her happy and cheerful presence will be sadly missed by her devoted family. Her hearty. hospitable well come will be no more in that desolate home. The home will never again be the same. Her place can never be filled and she will be sadly mourned
 We sincerely and deeply sympathise with our friends in their awful be- reavement. Their loss IS great and ir- reparable. We hope God will bless them, heal their lacerated hearts, and comfort them with the thought that they may see her again and be reunited on that great last day.

Rel nion of the Hens.

This summer, little cottage in Manitou, Colorado, was the rendezvous where a number of Arkansas friends gathered and enjoyed to the fullest extent the beauties which that west ern wonderland has to offer Because there were only ladies in the party, the cottage was named the Hen House. name which caused much comment and much merriment to all.
 It was rather a sad party of hens who broke up at the end of the sum mer, but reunion in Forrest City was looked forward to with no small de- gree of pleasure.
 On last Saturday evening the re- union took place at the Hotel Marion and to say the Hens had a royal good time, but feebly expresses it. Upon entering the parlors the guests found the walls and tables covered with pic lures of Manitou, band concert pro- grammes, menus, railroad time tables, etc, all suggestive of Colorado.
 An art contest was entered into with zest. Miss Jean Weld, of Narianna. came out winner. and was rewarded with box of homemade candy, which brought to each one memory of many cosy evenings spent in the Hen House at Manitou. Old songs were sung, old experiences related, stories told, and the summers fun lived over again, until supper was announced.
 The supper table presented a pleas ing appearance with it's graceful deco rations. In the center of the long ta- bic rested bowl of Cosmos blossoms, the flower which bloomed in such pro- fusion around the mountain cottage.
 Queer packages served as place cards, l and when they were opened the con tents proved joke on each member present. being handed down from the summers fun.
 The menu consisted of the things most enjoyed i'll Colorado-fred chick en with cream gravy, hot biscuits, French fried potatoes, fresh peaches with cream, cake and bonbons
 Only Manitou soda water was served l until the end of the feast, when small glasses were filled with grape juice, and Miss Jordan, rising, asked all the guests to drink to the first bride of the Hen House, Miss Irene Manning, whose marriage to MT. Guy Mathis, of Clarendon, is soon to take place. The toast was drunk long and deep. and others given to the "Luckiest Guy in the world, " to Manitou, to the Hens, and to the next Hen House Bride.
 At q very late hour the delighted guests took their departure declaring that this evening was only second to the many happy ones spent in beauti- ful, picturesque Manitou.

The Devil Coming Soon.

The greatest sensational play of the age and which has taken the country
 by storm is entitled "The Devil" The story is human to the core, and holds
 the audience i'll a vise-like grip until | the last curtain. "The Devil" is a play that has started the world talk ing but this "Deyil" is not the devil of horns and cloyen feet, but rather
 he is q symbol Of thought. He is Il gentleman with the poise and polish of one who has tr0d the floors of ball. rooms, draWingr0oms, and the homes of people of culture and refinement. The story of the play centers around q man and woman who mean to do what Is good, true and honorable, but who
 fail through the weakness that is
 within them. The portraying of His Satanic Majesty as cool and finished
 albeit cynical and thoroughly deyilish gentleman of today, is an idea that
 has never before been so carefully or as well worked out as in "The Devil. ]"
 The acting of the play is a difficult
 and necessarily studied work that is
 admirably done. The Devil" is full
 of invitation to come early and avoid
 the rush. Becker & Lewis opera

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi- nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in common cold. Consumption is not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It is the same with all infectious diseases. Diph- theria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in d cold than in any other of the common ailments The easiest and quickest way to cure cold is to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made 1t staple article of trade over large part of the world. For sale by J. T. Sanders.
