There is a way open to convince the greatest Skeptic. Scores of Forrest City people have made it possible, The public statement of their expe- rience is proof the like of which has never been produced before in Forrest City. Read this case of il given by d citizen:
 F. r. Todd, living two miles south east of Forrest City, Arkansas, says: In return for the wonderful benefit l received from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, 1 am very grateful and cannot endorse this remedy too strongly. For some time l have been a sufferer from kidney disease On certain occasions my kidneys failed to throw of the waste matter as they should, and another times the secre- tlons were much too frequent in ac- tion. When the attacks were at their height, l also suffered greatly from dull pain i'll the lower part of my back. While l never expect to be en- tlrely free of kidney trouble, can state that 1 never before tried remedy that helped me so much as Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the City Drug Store. After taking them ac- cordlng 10 directions, the pains in my back became less intense, and the se- efetions from my kidneys were more normal l intend to continue using Deans Kidney Pills as they certainly benefited me"

Report of Commissioners of Accounts

To the Honorable the St. Francis Circuit Court, Hon. II. \. Hutton, Judge:
 The undersigned Commissioner of Accounts, submit the following as their report to the September, 1908. term of the St. Francis Circuit Court. We have carefully checked over and compared the warrants redeemed and cancelled by the County Court at the recent July term, and find them cor rect and hereby adopt the record of the same as compiled and recorded by the County Clerk, and make the same a part of this report, and commend the clerk for keeping such a record as it is q great saving for him to do so instead of your commissioners. and we have destroyed all of such cancelled warrants as required by law.
 We have also checked over and com pared all the allowances made by the County Court during the last six months and find them correct. and will say that we believe the Court has been careful and painstaking in all financial matters of the county.
 We find that in many cases the magistrates present for allowance large lists of witnesses in felony in yestigations, some times about twen- ty-tive witnesses in one case. and we earnestly recommend that they dc not allow such a number but only such as are sufficient.
 We find from the settlements of the sheriff, treasurer and other officers that the books are in proper condition. and proper receipts filed, and credits duly entered, and that the financial condition of the county is improving eacn year, and with our increased val nation We are now on a basis which will enable the County Court to con tinue the good work on our roads and bridges.
 In closing this report we wish to thank all the county officials for their uniform kindness and courtesy in as sisting us with our investigations.
 Respectfully submitted

that there are always little things re-

TYBURN TREE.
Lord Ferrsrs' Tragic Journey to chs
Famous Old GaIlows.

Lord Ferrsrs' Tragic Journey to chs
Famous Old GaIlows.
Park lane was Tyburn lane, and II
seems as If the gallows-described In
an old document as movable-at one
time stood at its east corner It was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hung in 1850 for numbering his serv-
ant. Horace Walpole's words paint
the picture well: "He shamed heroes.
He bore the solemnity Of a pompous
and tedious procession of above two
hours from the Tower to Tyburn with
as much tranquility as If he We're only
going to his own burial, not to his own
execution" And when one of the
Dragons of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said, 81 hope there
will be no death today but mine"
On went the procession, with a mob
about It sufficient to make its progress
slow and laborious. Small wonder that
the age Of Thackeray, with Thack-
eray's help, set up its scaffolds within
four high walls. Asking for drink,
Lord Ferrers was refused, for, said thu
sheriff, ate regulations enjoined him
not to let prisoners drink while pass
ing from the place Of Imprisonment to
that of execution. great indecencies
having been committed by the drunk
enness of the criminals in the hour of
execution. "And though" said he, "my
lord, might think myself excusable
in overlooking this order out of regard
to your lordships rank, yet there is an
other reason, which, | am sure, will
weigh with you-your lordship is sen.
sible of the greatness of the crowd; |
we must draw up at some tavern; the |
confluence would be so great that it |
would delay the expedition which |
your lordship seems SO much to de-
sire" But decency-so often paraded |
by those who outrage it-ended with ,,
the murderer's death. "The execution.

Cong ressman Hubbard should take
the public into his confidence concern
| ing the case of Sherman Denham
postmaster Of Clarksburg. Mr. Hub
bard went after his scalp because of his
pernicious activity against Hubbard
in his primary fght, but just when
Denham was about to be decapitated
the Information was given out that he
had in his possession some sort of q
com munIcatien from Mr.. Hitch cock
who is now chairman of the national
Republican committee, promising his
return in office in return for Sherman q
activity in behalf Of Mr.. Taft in West
Virginia.
Mr.. Denham was also active in the
interest of Mr.. Scherr, and thereby in
CURED the further displsasure Of Mr..
Hubbard and others. When their
courage was screwed up to the sticking
point, they again went after him. That
was q few days age, but nothing was
done in his case or that of Mr.. Glass
cock, who is held ing the sffice of col
lector Of internal revenue while run
ming for Governor of West Vir-
ginia. The same mysterious statements
are again made on bsh ,lf of Mr., Dem
ham. who is represented as threaten
ing to publish the Hitchcock letter is
removed from the pesteffice,
while the President is reported to have
made the.startling discovery that the
fsctional political feeling prevents the
securing of reliable testimony in West
Virginia.
MIR. Roosevelt gives fresh evi de0es
in these cases that he is politician
first, and President afterH ards. Just a
few days sgo he asked for and obtain
ed the resignation of federal office
holder, who was candidate for con-
gress. The case was exactly like that
of Mr.. Glasscock, but in the Glasscock
case the argument is made that he
lould be excused because it will be
bat few months until the election is
held In other words, wrong is right
if it extends over a short period of
time, and the President reserves the
privilege of suspending civil service
rules whenever they menace the sue
cess of his political friends.
AS the member of congress from the
First distr ct, Mr. Hubbard's authori-
ty is presumed to embrace he Clarks-
burg postofiice. and there appears to
be ne doubt of his ability to establish
clear case of pernicious political ac-
tivity on the part OF Mr.. Denham, but
Mr.. Denham refers to the Hitchcock
letter and laughs at his enemies. The
contents of that letter would doubtless
make "mighty interesting reading -
