~The Blood is The Life.''

Science has never gone beyond the
above simple statement of scripture. But
1t has illuminated that statement and
given it a meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth Of knowledge.
When the blood is "bad or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded. VIE mind and judgement are

manifestations of impure blood.

In the cure of scrofulous swellings, en-
larged glands. open eating ulcers, or old
sores, the vGolden Medical Discovery has
performed the most marvellous cures. In
cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers,
it is well to apply to the open sores DR..
Pierce's All-Healing Salve, which pos
sesses wonderful healing potency when
used as an application to the sores in con-
junction with the use of rGolden Medical
Discovery" as a blood cleansing consti-
tutional treatment. If your druggist
don't happen to have the "All-Healing
Salve" in stock, you can easily procure it
by inclosing fifty-four cents in postage
stamps to DR.. R. V. Pierce, 663 Main ST.,
Buffalo, N. Y, and it will come to you by
return post. Most druggists keep it as
we'll as the "Golden Medical Discovery"

Without a job printing plant in
connection the average country
newspaper could not exist. OF
the total volume of business done
by the publishers of the Log Cabin
Democrat nearly three-fourths is
in job work. Nearly any country
publisher is satisfied if his news
paper pays its own way, trusting
to his job department to make his
living for him. For these reasons
it is, we believe, the duty of the
business people and other citizens
of community to have their print
ing done at home, whenever and
wherever possible, just as it is the
duty of the citizen to buy every
thing else at home. There are
cases, perhaps, where the merchant
can obtain his letterheads or cir
culars few cents cheaper than
the home printer is able to supply
them. And there are cases where
the consumer of merchandise can
obtain certain goods little cheap
er from the great mail order houses
But if this procedure were car
ried to its logical conclusion the
community would be without both
merchants and newspapers, and
the land would soon be without a
community.

SOME ELECTION FIGURES.

SOME ELECTlON FlGUkES.
The Soliphone publishes in this
issue an official tabulated statement
of the vote by counties cast in the
recent democratic primary election
in every case where there was a
contest. This table was taken
from the Arkansas Gazette, and it
will be of interest to all who study
the political situation. The table
shows Donaghey's plurality over
Kirby to be 1884, the vote of the
three candidates for governor being
Donaghey $3.50, Kirby ALIAS
and Hinemon $3.50. The most
remarkable feature of the campaign
was the solid vote that Donaghey
received lie his own county where
he polled 90 per cent of the vote,
his vote being 2,767, Kirby's 1S3
and Hinemon's 40
An interesting study of this
table is to take the counties where
the three candidates for governor
and Senator Davis have heretofore
lived and where they now live.
Senator Davis is included because
he was Mr.. Kirby's chief sponsor
and made Sc speeches in the state
for Kirby. Since his residence in
Arkansas, Prof. Hinemon has lived
in the counties of Jefferson, Drew
and Clark, the latter being his
home at this time. Donaghey has
lived in Union and Faulkner,
Faulkner being his home at this
time, where he has resided for
thirty years. Senator Davis resides
In Pope county, but in his early
life lived in Little River, while Mr..
Kirby lives in Miller. In these
eight counties Donaghey received
1898 votes, 1854 and Hinemon
2,7I3. Donaghey carried Drew,
the former home of Professor Hine-
mon, defeating the professor IN
that county by 457 votes. He also
defeated the professor by 32o votes
in Jefferson county, where Prot.
Hinemon lived at the time he was
elected state superintendent. DON
aghey carried 40 per cent OF the
vote in Hinemon's present home
county. He carried 40 per cent OF
the vote of Miller county, the home
of Mr.. Kirby. He carried IS per
cent of the vote of Union county,
where he formerly lived. He car
ried s. per cent of the vote in Pope
county, the home of Senator Davis,
his vote in that county 1885 to
S75 for Kirby, while Hinemon
received $50. He also carried AZ
per cent of the vote of Little River
county, the former home OF Sen
ator Davis, his vote being sos with
RIA for Kirby, while Hinemon re-
ceived 3I5. Donaghey carried six
of these eight counties, he having
lived in two of them Prot. Hine-
mon these, Senator Davis two and
Kirby one. His vote was more
than double that of his opponents
in these eight counties.
Hinemon only carried 40 per
cent of the vote in his present
home county and Kirby carried
less than SO per cent of the vote in
his home county, Miller.
These returns verify the predlc-
ton made by the Soliphone before
tbe election as to Donaghey S
strength in these counties. II we

Drain Streets.

The committee of the city coun-
Gil on streets and landings held an
informal discussion yesterday after
noon on the necessity of remedyiDg
the condition of some of the streets
in the western part of the city,
which had been rendered very
muddy by the recent rain. As re-
suit of the conference, a number of
men were placed at work this
morning, filling in the depressions
in the streets in that portion of
town, and draining off the water
wherever it had accumulated.
The condition of the bridge near
the rear of the public school build
ing was also referred to. The
bridge is said to be dangerous for
heavy vehicles, and it will be at
tended to.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
DEAFNESS is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachiau Tube. When this tube is infla1u-
ed YOU have a rumhling sound or imper
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result. and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and the
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused ty Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaned cond1-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

as n Rebate Of Rent.
An examination Of the lies Of the New
York Life Insurance Company shows that
that corporation, which was a member
of the Merchants Association Of New
York, and as such member paid an annual
due Of t5O, gave to the association in period
Of six or seven years more than $1,000,
and that these payments had been made
upon the personal request Of WilamF King,
who was then the president Of the Merchants
Association and who has since preferred
the charges against District Attorney
Jerome.
Among the documents from the Mer-
chants Association is one dated October /,
1898, and is addressed as follows:
DEAR Mr. MCCALL: Can We have check
promised me? We are short. No money
coming in, hut hope next year all will come
right. Yours truly. MN' T. MING
Endorsements on the letter show that
check for 5000 was given by the New
York Life Insurance Company TO the Mer-
chants Association and that Mr.. Mccall
ordered that the amount be charged against
the sinking fund Of the New York Life.
There is another letter. dated June 2j q,
1901. written upon the stationery of the
Merchants Association and addressed to
Mr. Mccall as president Of the New York
Life Insurance Company. This letter reads
as follows;
DrAR MH. MCCALL. Recently You kindly
notified me that YOU would send check
for 81 900 on account of the deficiency existing.
Il affords me much pleasure TO say that that
deficiency has now been reduced 10 about
