Rubbing the back won't cure backache.

 Backache comes from the in- side from the kidneys.

 Here is Mena proof that this is so:

About year ago l began to have a lameness and a soreness in my back and across the region of my kidneys. This at times pre- vented me from doing any work whatever.

IN SUPREME COURT
Railroads Can Collect Full Fare for Fractional Miles-City Cannot Re
 yoke Doctors License.

Little Rock, Oct. 5.-The su- preme court today decided that a railroad is not violating the over charge law when it charges full mile for a part of mile.
 A man at Jonesboro sued be- cause he was charged four miles when the distance was only } 3 4 miles.
 The court holds the law. does not intend the fare shall be for parts of miles nor that roads shall carry passengers free for that dis tauce.
 A mayor can not revoke the h. ceuse of a doctor because he sells liquor illegally, says the supreme court iu the case of pr. P. w. Fort vs. Brinkley. The court holds the act does not come with in the limit showing moral turpitude" which is necessary to revoke a license. Forts license had been revoked by the mayor of Biukley.

TELLS OF FOREST FIRES
Captain J. F. Todd Relates How Thou sands of Wild Animals Were De-
 stroyed While Trying to Escape.

Captain J. F. Todd has return ed from a trip to the north begun on August l7, in which he has visited nine states and Canada, in which he has been delivering Ma sonic lectures.
 Captain Todd was terribly i'm pressed by the awful forest fires in the north, he being in Minne- sota while they were raging in that state. He relates that fire first started in the Mesoba range of mountains, 90 miles north of Duluth. This caused the wild animals in great numbers 10 flee to the south. Another fire then got started and burned north around the north shore of Lake Superior, catching thousands ot moose, deer, bear, etc, between the fires. which of course suffered death. He says that the winds were very high and that many people who fled to the lake were taken off by the government boats sent there for the purpose and to assist in trying to subdue the flames.
 While away, Captain Todd met brother, s. F. Todd, at Hubbard. Minn., whom he had not seen for 37 years.
 The captain brought home with him the heads of two northern pickefel that make ordinary fish stories look like minpows. One head was from fish which was four feet two inches in length and weighed 3l ponnds. 1t was caught by Aug. K. Emberton oi Glenwood. Ia., a friend of Cap tain Todd's. The other head be- louged to a pickerel that weighed 16 pounds and was caught by the captain.

FIRE WRECKS
 NATIONAL HOTEL
Roof and Upper Story Almost Totally Destroyed and Balance Will Be Torn Down-Good Work by
 Firemen.

The National hotel, one of the best old-time frame buildings in Mena, was almost totally de- stroyed by fire Saturday evening
 The fire was discovered about ' o'clock and the alarm sounded, and soon thereafter the fire, which apparently originated in a room on the second floor, burst through the roof. The volunteer firemen were soon on the scene and with the assistance of citizens soon had the hose connected, by which time practically the whole roof was aolaze.
 At this time 1t looked as though the entire building was doomed, but the firemen were soon sending two big streams of water into the blazing structure and it was seen that the flames would be conquered. With lad ders one line of hose was taken to the part of the roof not yet burning and with the men cling ing like ants to the slippery footing, a heavy stream was poured directly upon the fire. Another line of hose was carried directly iuto the building and made a black trail which soon was heightened and broadened until all was darkness save for the electric lights.
 When 1t was seen that tbe fire was sure to be exiting uished the hundreds about sent up great yell of applause. thus showing their appreciation of the work that had been done.
 The building is the property of H. w. Cardwel. and the hotel was under the management of Mrs. G. w. James. With excep- tion of few rooms in the rear of the second story, all the furni- ture and other fixtures were re- moved from the building, much of 1t being more or less damaged by water and rough handling. MT. Ca-dwell carried insurance on the building to the amount of S2, 900 and the furniture and oth- CT household effects owned by Mrs. James were partially insured
 MT. Card we'll said thls morning that the building was 100 badly damaged to be repaired and will probably be torn down. The damage to the building is esti. mated at S3, 500.
