HAVE JUST INSTALLED
ONE OF THE NEW 2Oth CENTURY MANGLES-IN THE LINE OF
 IMPROVING HEALTH.

It is we'll known fact that U re- quires boiling heat to kill all germs. It is also known that you cannot get your clothes boiled when having them done by your washerwoman, as nine out Of every ten wash your clothes with the same water and never boil them-and al the most they only use two waters, one to wash with and then 10 blue them. Now, as the city has been having a lot Of fever and oth CT sickness, we think you can over come some Of it by having your work sent to steam laundry. In the first place. we boil them with steam; in the second place. we give them eight diff ferent waters, overcoming the soapy smell you have from washerwomen; in the third place, if garment is missing you have recourse, while in nine cases out of ten if anything is short from the washerwoman they say nothing for fear of losing her; fourth. prices are such that it is as cheap 10 have them done by us; sixth, if it rains 1t is the same, you get your washing; seventh, you don't have to worry about your washwoman not be- ing after your linen; eighth, We are prepared with our new machines 10 turn out 5o,oo0 pieces day, and, as We have gone to this expense, we feel that the people of Pine Bluff will give us trial, and if your work is not satisfactory it costs you nothing.
 Our motto: We guarantee you clean. white, beautiful linen. The American-Excelsior Laundry Co. ex- cells all others. barring none As We lead others follow.

C0UN NTY
 GETS SCHOOL FUND

{ Yesterday the department of educa- tion apportioned to the county Of Jefferson it's share of the common school fund, placing to the credit Of the school children of this county $34,- 55947 The enumeration of the chil- dren of school age in the county shows that the number is 1S,4S1 and this means that each child out of this fund > Will receive s1.s7. zzz-zzz-.
 This is by far the largest per cap ita ever paid by the state for school purposes It is more than twice as much per child as was paid even as late as 1898, and more than one and one-half times as much as was paid per child last year.
 The following table shows the per capita for school population paid by the state since 1890:
 1890 $0.7o; 1891 SIP: 1892, s0S0; 1893, s07S; 1894, so7S 1-2; 1895, $o.7S; 1896. so72; 1897, s076; 1898. so74; 1899. sO9S: 1900. s1o1; 1901, so.9S; 1902 $l.09 1903, SLOT: 1904, $1.1o; 1905. s114 1906. SIPS: 1907. $1.27; 1908. s1.S7. The largest appor- tionment for 1891 was due to the fact that the apportionment was made out Of time and should have been aver aged with that of the previous year, which would have made s09l for each year
 The following is the school fund, showing the various sources from which more than million dollars has been gathered, and the list Of school children and the apportionment that was made Monday:

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be IN effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof hat Peruna is in real
lty such a catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
nays of the principal ingredients of
peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs Of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient OF
Peruna. The United States Dispense
tory says of the action Of cedron that
1t is used as a bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter-
mittent diseases as q substitute for
quinine.
Send to us for a free book of testi-
monials of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who
have tried it.

BATTLE WITH ROBBtR GANG
Electric Alarm Tips OFF Their Presence
and Ar0uses Officers and
Citizens.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 29.-After a bat
tie with local Officials and a posse,
two robbers escaped at Tower Oty,
In this county, early yesterday. One
of the men is believed to have been
shot by the posse.
w. w. King, head of a mercantile
company there, recently had a burglar
alarm system installed in his store
and connected with his house. He
was aroused by it at 2 a. m. and sum-
moned officers and neighbors to help
him surround the store. Two men APP
peared at the door and ran in different
directions after firing a fusillade or
revolver shots. Citizens returned the
fire and probably wounded one OF tie
robbers, but evidently not seriously.
The robbers obtained little money.
They had tied up several hundred dol
lars worth of goods preparatory to re-
moval before they were surprised.
