A BIG TOBACCO SHIPMENT.
Cash Store Prepares Against an Ad-
 vance in Prices.

A representative of The Star iu passing The Cash Store Thurs day was surprised to sec a great stack of more than 200 to- bacco boxes being unloaded. On inquiry of Mir. B. F.. Addison it was learned that this was but a small part of what he has pur. chased recently, realizing that the war of the night raiders ia Kentucky was sure to cause a marked advance in prices in the near future.
 The Cash Store does a ve-y large jobbiug business in tobacco, supplying many country mer. chants, which business is grow ing because of satisfactory prices resulting from large purchases for cash. The sales last year aggregated over 10000 pounds. aud they will be much larger this year.

GETTING READY
 FOR EMERGENCY
Treasury Department Preparing Cur rency Notes to Meet Requirements of Aldrich- vreeland Bill-May
 Never Be Needed.

Washington, June 5.-IHe Treasury Department is losing DO time iu preparing for use the emergency currency notes author ized by the Aldrich. Vreelaud bill It is announced that the new notes, iu denominations of x5, SlO and S20 will be ready by July i. There is no anticipation that the notes will be needed by that time or al any time in the near future, but treasury officials feel it their duty to be ready at the earliest possible day 10 meet any financial emergency that may arise.
 1t has been decided that 1t will not be necessary to engrave new plates for the emergency notes. The present plates used for bank currency will be utilized with the addition of the words Tor other securities" Not only will this save time, but it will materially reduce the cost of preparing the new notes. As il is the theory of many experts that the Aldrich- Veerland notes man never be put into circulation, that the mere fact of their availability will operate 10 prevent a need tor them. Treasury officials do not want to spend any more money than is necessary in getting them ready for use.

No Need of Suffering from Rheu-
 matism.

II is a mistake to allow anyone to suffer from rheumatism. as the pain can always be relieved, and in most eases a cure effected by applying Chamberlain's Isniment. The relief from pain which lt affords is alone worth many times it's cost. 1t makes sleep and rest possible. Even in cases of long standing this liniment should be used on account of the relief which 1t affords. Do not be discouraged until you have given it trial. Many sufferers have been surprised and de- lighted with it's pain-relieving quali- ties. D and 50 cent sizes for sale by J sckson Drug Co, and ali dealers.

RED RIVER HAS
 BROKEN LEYEES
Tea Miles Wide and Flowing Through . Bayou--40. 900 Acres of Arkan- kansas Laad Flooded Near
 Index.

Shreveport, La., June 5.-The Red river broke out of its levees south of Index, Ark. yesterday and has flooded the entire region west of the river and more than 40, ,000 acres in Arkansas. The waters on the western side are flowing through Bayou Mckinney for a distance of 75 miles, the stream being 10 miles wide, and more water passing through the bayou than the river channel proper.
 While the waters on the eastern side are doing considerable dam- age to crops and cattle, those on the Louisiana side are passing through timbered region and doing no harm, The waters are re-enterlng the, stream at Sul- phur, causing 8 heavy rise in the lower section of the river, the gauge at Shreveport showing Is inches rise during the past 12 hours.
 Discoufaging at Van Buren.
 Van Buren, June 4.-At the rate of an inch an hour the Ar kansas river has been rising dur ing the last "A hours, and if there has been any change noticeable it is that the stream is now five feet above flood stage, the gauge showing 25 feet here at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Eighteen inches more of water is predicted for tonight, which will put the river at 29 feet, or enough to overflow practically every acre of ground inundated last week.
 Reports from up river are very discouraglng. The river is over. flowing its banks at a dozen differ cnt places between Van Buren and point three miles down the rlver, and the lakes and sloughs are rapidly filling up and spread ing out over the farms.
 Best Levee h State Breaks.
 Texarkana, June 4.-Long Prairie levee, in the lower part of Lafayette county, broke yester- day. This was the best levee in the state, and it was confidently believed that it would be able to withstand the food. It was much larger and stronger than the levees further up the river toward Texarkana. Notwithstanding this, the river rose above it, flowed over the top and cut it in three different places. There are AZ, 1000 acres in the Long Prairie levee district and between 1,500 and l,800 of this is under cultivation. The entire district. including the cultivated land. was covered with about four feet of water Tn SIX hours. s

THERE has been some talk on the
streets of Clifton of late to the eff
feet that the South Clifton school
house was in bad shape and had been
damaged by the recent heavy rains.
The ERA reporter made trip to the
school house yesterday and inspected
it from the outside. He found that
the water from the wash in the rear
of the house did not come within fif-
teen feet of the building and flowed
the other way, hence the foundation
could not possibly have been dam
aged. There are no cracks in the
foundation and the building appears
to be as firm as the day it was turned
over. Those who are interested in
the school house and desire to see
for themselves should take a look at
the building and they will be con-
WINGED that rumors haye been mis-
leading.

IN THIS issue of the ERA will be
found the announcement of A. A.
Anderson as a candidate for the office
of sheriff, subject to the action of the
county republican convention. Mr..
Anderson does not need to be identi-
fed to the people of Graham county,
having resided here many years and
is known by nearly every one in Ora
ham county. AS representative OF
the republican party he was elected
two years ago as sheriff of this county
and it can truthfully be said that he
has filled the office in an honest and
judicious manner. That he has fully
served the people satisfactorily there
is no doubt and the fact he is willing
to serve them another term should
receive the consideration of the
voters of the county. The republic
ans will make no mistake in nominal t.
ing Mr.. Anderson and if elected the
sheriff's Office will be in good hands

Ell PASO LOST THREE STRAIGHT
Are Entirely 0utcIaSSed on the Local
Diamond Clifton Wins Two and
MOrenCi One.

The E. p. & S. w. team of the FL
Paso city league has come and gone,
taking with them the good will of the
fans and teams of this district, but
no victories. OF course we were sOr-
ry to take all the games of the series,
but we needed them on our string of
victories. The story of the games is
probably familiar to most of the peo-
pie in Clifton, so we will give but a
brief synopsis. In the first two in
nings of the Saturday game FL Paso
had but six men up, while Clifton had
four up in the first and six up in the
second, scoring two on hit, a sacri-
flee and an error. In the third, fourth
and fifth neither team had a man
past second, although O'Malley was
caught trying to make two sacks on
Harrigan's single in the 5th. Ell
Paso's half of the sixth was fruitless,
and up to this time they had no hits
to their credit. In Clifton's half Bar
oldy lined one down to first but was
thrown out, Albright to Sprinz; Mason
got first on an error, stole second.
Ward flew out to Woollen. O'Malley,
Quilting and Brock each drew hits,
the first scoring Mason; then Pique
was hit by Taylor, filling the bases.
Williams put one through Shanes, al
lowing Quilting and Brock to score,
while Pique scored on Longwell's hit
which Hays got to third in time to
catch Williams who was trying for
two on a single. Shane started the
seventh with single, while Wooden
and Hays followed with a two Dagger
each, giving Shane and Wooden time
to score. Albright walked, Finney
sacrificed. Quilling's error allowed
Hays and Albright to cross the pan
ana Mooney reach first. MOntOya
drove one to right that looked impOs-
sible, but Baroldy was there by d
| hairs breadth and saved the game.
Sprinz hit and scored Mooney, but
| Sprinz was caught at second. in
| Clifton's half BarOldy reached third
ON d walk, Mason's sacrifice and a
| steal but died there after Ward flew
out to right and O'Malley tried to get
one through the infield. In the first
| of the eighth three men were up, and
| Quilting was put out of commission by
a sprained ankle when Longwell ran
into hun as he was pulling in d fly.
The second half drew two more hits
for Clifton but no runs. The first
half of the ninth looked bad for d
minute but was harmless. The score
| fellows.
