When you have cold you may be
sure that it ha. been caused indirectly
b. constipation and consequently you
must first OF all take something to
move the bowels. This is what has
made Kennedy's Laxative Cough Sy-
rup so successful and so generally de-
manded. 1t does not con.tipate like
most of the old Fashioned cough cures,
but on the other hand it gently moves
the bowels and at the same time heals
irritstion and allays inflammation OF

POSTMASTER 1T RANGER LOST
w. Nj. Rogers, Prominent centerviile Merchant. Missing Since Last Thursdsy-When Last Seen
 Had $500 or More.

Centerville. Ark-W. M. Rogers. postmaster of Ranger. and a promin- ent merchant Of this eitv. has mysferl. oHsly disappeared He vas last seen on Thursday. April g. when h. vas on a fishing trip with several friends Several theories arc advanced as to the cause of his sudden disappear ance. one Of which is to the effect that he was robbed. as he Was known to have had a large sum Of money on his person at the time he vas last seen. and then killed and possibly thrown into the river
 Thursday of last week Mr. Rogers together with two Of his friends went up the Petit Jean river on fishing trip. After the party had landed af a certain point Mir Rogers stated that he believed he would go on up the river about half mile He has never been seen by anyone in this vicinity since then

Unable To find him after an extended search they returned to Centeryille. where the authorities were notified of Nlr Rogers disap- pearance Friday and Saturday sev- eraI posses searched up and down the river for traces of the missing man, but none were found
 Two thories are advanced as 10 the cause of Mr Rogers sudden dis appearance. One is to the effect that he may have drowned in the riv- CT. Another is to the effect that he may have been robbed. killed and his body thrown into the river or hidden somewhere. When he left his fishing party he was known to have had about $500 on his person He left the postotfice at Ranger about II a. m. the morning he went fishing. and before Ia left the office received sev- eral pieces of mail, opened them and put them into his pocket
 MT Rogers was about 30 years old and has wife and two children. He was man of good standing and was very prominent in this section of the country.
 A man whose name is not known says that he saw Mr. Rogers at Ha- yana immediately after he disap- peared. He also claims 10 have seen Alr Rogers board Rock Island train there.

Referee In Vanderbilt Suit
Hearing Evidence.
Custody Of Child and AIimony
the Only Questions.
Vanderbilt willing to Pay Ills Wife
Million and 4 Half.

New York, April 3.-David Mcclure.
the referee appointed to hear the case
of Mrs Alfred G. Vanderbilt, who has,
brought an action believed to be for
absolute divorce. has begun taking the
evidence. The first witness called be-
fore the referee was Howard Kemp
ster. who was the valet of Cornelius
Vanderbilt and who became valet for
Alfred G. Vanderbilt when the latter
became the head of the family upon
his fathers death. He testified n,
some length yesterday and was ex
pected to be on the witness stand
again today, as the hearings We're
conducted behind closed doors the M
tire of his evidence Is matter of cor
lecture
It IS said that Kempster has enjoyea
Il position with Mr.. Vanderbilt consid-
crably more confidential than that OF
he ordinary valet and the fact tllat
he was left behind as witness when
his employer sailed for Europe is TAX
On to Indicate that the taking OF tho
evidence will proceed rapidly and that
The hearings will reach an early con-
clusion. This is said to be in accord
1nce with the wishes of all concerned.
.ncluding the immediate relatives az
10Th men and Mrs. Vanderbilt. No,
acmber of the Vanderbilt family il,e
vet attended the hearing but it IS be-
lieved Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt wiz
ne called to testify to the date Of her
marriage. This is expected to be the
extent of her testimony.
The custody of the 6-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt is exoect~
ed to be one of the questions which tne
referee will have to decide. 1t is un- .
derstood that Mrs. Vanderbilt insists
that the child be left in her charge
subject to such restrictions in the mat
ter of paternal visits as the court may
see fit to impose.
The principal question at issue fs
said to be the amount of alimony to
be paid by Mr.. Vanderbilt. It is re-
ported that Mr.. Vanderbilt has con-
sented to the payment Of lump sum
of $1,5O0,Q0O and that if this is ACCEPT
ed as satisfactory his defence will be
of q passive character. but If rejected
the action will be actually contested.
The ground upon which Mrs. Wander
bits suit is brought has not been
made public the papers in the case re-
vcaling nothing upon that point. In
that connection it Is said that Mrs.
Vanderbilt might have brought action
for divorce in Rhode Island where she
WAS living upon any one Of several
grounds An action for divorce in New
York must be based on the statutory
cause.
