 E. V. Mcbride, confectioner, Mena, Ark, says: "A short time ago I was having a great deal of trouble with my kidneys. My back was lame and sore and the least exertion caused me to suffer from sharp pains in my back and kidneys. This trouble together with the too frequent passages of the kidney secretions convinced me that my kidneys were dis ordered.

Oklahoma City, My 50- Twenty.two persous are believed to have been killed and scores iu- jured in tornado, which wrecked the towns of Depew and Key West and badly damaged many other towns in that section of the state al 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
 Depew was completely de- stroyed by a collision of torna- does and all the streams are So badly swollen that rescue of the injured is impossible in many places.
 Ten negroes were killed at Key West, a negro settlement, when the tornado destroyed that town, and at Stroud, Mrs. Hart Is fatal ly injured.
 Communication with the storm swept district is completely wiped away so that the details are mea- ger.
 Bristow and K llyville, Tn Creek county, are badly damaged
 From one source the number of dead is estimated at P, while the number of injured will be a score more.
 The tornado which destroyed 1 Key West, met another at Depew' All during the afternoon resi- dents in that locality could see sm all tornadoes for an hour, dip hing and rising, whirling and twisting, they followed another amid a humidity that was next te unbearable.

ARKANSAS HAS
 FlNECROP OUTLOOK
Large Increase in Corn Acreage, but Cotton Reduced by Peas, Clover, Alfalfa and Potatoes Fruit
 Good in Northwest.

Little Rock, May 30.- Crop re. ports from 65 out of the 75 conn- ties in Arkansas received by the agricultural department show that the conditions in all sections of the state are much better than at this time last year. The oyer- How and deep wetsr have done lsss injury to crops than in 1908, the damage this year being esti- mated at about one half of that suffered last year.
 The cotton crop is from tt Il days to two weeks behind. Not as much cotton has been planted this year and there Is au increase iu the corn acreage. Thirty counties report large increase c ln the corn acreage. This is due to tho openlng of new lands and the planting of corn on land on which cotton was produced last year, where the crop was injured by the boil weevil. It is estimated that the corn crop in Arkansas this year will be the largest ever produced in the state. Cotton has fallen off in acreage in more than 20 counties, due to the plant ing of corn, peas, clover, alfalfa and potatoes. The fruit crop ir the north western counties shows marked improvement over thar of fast year.

HUT SPRINGS cHAUrAuouA.
rhirty-Eight Entertainments, Begin
 ming June 20, Closing July ie.

Hot Springs has many turing inducements to offer the visitor at any time to attract his attention and to charm him after he arrives, but the very newest and in many ways the best yet presented tc draw the out-of-town man 10 the City of Vapors is the great Hot Springs chautauqua, the aim oi which is no build the greatest chautauqua in America, st the greatest health resort in the world, for no mans gain, tut everybody's good" The ch; u. tauquc opens June 20th aud ls sts 10 July 18th, giving in all 3S er- tertainments, every one of which is star feature.
 To the discriminating person the mere announcement that Hot Springs has added this institution to her many other attractions, will be sufficient to gain aud hold his attention.
 It is not necessary to specify the exceptional opportunity thus offered to attend chautauqua assembly at resort like ho, Springs, where ali things are combined for the great good of body, soul and mind.
 All railroads running into Hot Springs are cooperating gener- ously with the enterprise and will make exceedingly low rates throughou.the chautauquaseason
 The location is al w nittington park, one of Natures beauty spots. The auditorium is com ,nodious and comfortable, having been fully equipp, q with electric fans. It is easily the best summer theater in the state. Over three thousand incandescent lights will turn the park into an electric grove of radience.
 Hot Springs justly claims to have the only Chautauqua in Ar kansas. There are in several places seven to ten days lyceum courses held in the summer, but in the real sense, those are not chautauquas. The Hot Spring Chautauqua is closely modled af- ter the mother institution at Chautauqua Lake, New York.

It was also ex. plained by the director that such items as he indicated herein to oe vetoed, including even the sal. ary Of himself, could be provided TOT out of the various funds given .ne university annually by the federal gouernment. all of which amounts to about $65, ,OO0.
 "ln the matter of the Branch Norma school and the voting O! the item therei1 contained. the board of trustees were not con. suited because of the fact tha, It was overlooked at the time the session was held for consultation on the general appropriation for the University. But as the Fed. eral government makes a liberal contribution to this institution annually, 1 conclude that the items remaining in the bill will support .he school for the next two years in d more liberal man. ner than is D ovided for some of the other state institutions.
 "l sincerely regret that the necessity tor yetoing any of the items is at hand, but it is im- perative. The money is simp y not in the treasury, nor can it be put there during the period for which the appropriations are made, hence if I can possibly prevent it, do not feel at liberty to permit the state to go on a scrip basis without the express consent of the people who pay the taxes.
 But in order that might com init no serious error in vetoiug the various items or. otherw ise make It impossible to run the institutions for the necessary period intervening between now and the time the next legislature meets, 1 have called 10 my assis- tauce the members composing the different boards governing all the institutions, and all the items herein vetoed have care fully been gone over by both the boards and myself, together with the superintendents of the different institutions, ,and all have agreed that owing to the finan. clal coalition of the state. such vetoed items can be dispensed with.

KILLING OF A DOG
 CAUSES LYNCHING
Joe Blakely, Brother of Man Who Killed Sheriff Cain, Hanged Because Had Made Threats Murderer
 Still at Large.

Portland, Ark, May 31.-As the result of the killing of Deputy Sheriff w. A. Cain Saturday. Joe B!akely, a brother of Sam Blake ly, alleged murderer, was lynch ed here. The lynching grew from threats that Joe made while under arrest as an accessory before the crime. He is charged with having said he only wanted chance to kill Bud Harper, an innocent white farmer living near Portland, who several days ago killed a dog, the property Of Sam Blakely. Blakely later as- saulted Harper in his own yards abusing him while he held Har- per under gun cover, backed up by Joe, his brother.
 Warrants were sworn out for thelr arrest, and when Deputy Sheriff Cam read the warrant to Sam Blakely, he said: "All right, just let me get my coat"
 Deputy Cain allowed him to enter the house under the pre- tense of getting h's coat. When he entered he closed the door in tue officers face and as the sheriff threw Tt back, 1t is said, Sam fired, killing the officer in- stantly. He fled to the swamps aud lodged the dogs that were put in pursuit and boarded a north.bouud freight traiI some- where between Montrose and Dermott. An officer at Dermott discovered his presence and coms manded him to halt, whereupon he opened fire on the officer.
 The bloodhounds from Pine Bluff were enroute here to take up the trail and were taken off at Dermott and at once put on his trail. No reports from them are obtaiuable since.

Lansing. Mich, May 30.-Wednes days earthquake in Michigan has stia red up the scientists, who are discuss. Ing the theory that Michigan possesses a tilt" line running across the state from the region of Port Huron to Manistee. It is their view that north of this imaginary line the earth is gradually tilting one way and south of 1t tilting the other The state geolo- gist, Prof. Lane. says the quakes oi Wednesday may furnish data regard ing the tilt"
 This so-called "tilting' Is very slow except when the tremors come. The last previous earthquake in Michigan was in 1884. No serious change in tho topography of Michigan Is taking place, as it is estimated by the scient ists that the tilting is about at the rate of six inches in 100 miles in 10( years.

 The appropriation for the tu- berculosis sanitarium, $50, ,000; new insane asylum, S2O0, coo; and the four agricultural schools, $l60, ,000; will be held up, not ve- toed. Such action will be taken before the two years limit runs, il which the appropriations would be void if not acted upon, as will save them and insure the improvements.
 The governors explanation iu h veto message is as follows:
 ''I am impelled 10 withhold my approval of all of the above mentioned 1t ms In the several bills above set out by number and title, on account of the financial condition of the state and the in- adequacy ol the states revenues to meet these expenses. The items that remain lr the different bills approved are sufficient to malatain the institutions in a sat- isfactory condition. The situa- ton in regard to all the matters can be illustrated by my action in regard to the laundry department of the blind school. In that case l have vetoed the item of the salary of the head laundryman, but the bull carries au appropriation which is approved for three as sIstsnt laundrymen ana they will be able 70 do all the work of the institution in a satisfactory man. ner. The same cor dltion exists in regard to many other items of the various appropriations under consideration. but notwithstand- ing these items that arc d:sap- proved, the efficiency of these in- siitutions will be but little im- paired. Of course 1t would be better to run them on a more lib- eral bass, yet in the interest oi the strictest economy they can e very we'll maintained with the appropriations left in the bill. For instance there are items fer current and incidental expense containing the sums of S42,O0 in the blind school, $70. 900 in the deal mute, and $266, GOO in the insane asylum, all of which cat be made to coyer any emerg ency that might be found necessary during the progress of the insti tutions for the periods provided for.
