NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height Of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at it's
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women but thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true cause
Of hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send 10c. in stamps for sample

the case and sees that the aeeus- ed gets d fair trial. l the accused proves to be innocent, he will not find better friend than the \. II. T. \.
 Another mistaken idea some people have of the A. H. r. A. is that 1t looks after horse thieves only. Every kind Of stealing, as we'll as other violations ot the criminal laws come within the scope of the work of the \. H. T. X. An A. H. r. A. lodge has been known to spend Sl0 to recover d dollar whip. It's object in so doing was not so much the value of the whip as the lesson taught. One case usually puts a stop to whip stealing in that locality. The order seeks to con- vince thieves t is not profita ble to steal from q member of the or der and that 1t IS extremely haz- ardouS. These lessons have a preventative influence, the value of which k incaleulab1e and are not fully appeeiated, even by the members of the order. Many cases are on record where d thief passed by valuable horse be- longing to d member of the order and took less valua ble one from an outsider. The thief did this because he realizes 1t is much easier to elude a few than to make his escape from multitude of pursuers.
 Some of the experiences of the order read like sketches from Conan Doyle, but they are actual happenings. A short time ago John w. Wall, national president of the order, led bunch of members from Parsons, Kansas, on a special train chartered for the special purpose of chasing a policemen who was fleeing from the charge of having helped te rob a big store. Before nigh, they brought the back-slidine policeman back and placed hin in the same cell in which lie had

This particular Anti drop ped out ot the hunt, but the other members kept 1t up until the rascal was put in safe keep ing where he still remains.
 These are only q few of the many cases but they serve to show the work of tie order.

ing man who has hundreds of ar rests to his credit, and is reputed sure shot at long range with q Winchester.
 For grit and activity, Vim. Weaver, jailer at Carthage, Mo-, holds the highest honors among the A. H. T. A. Some three years ago he undertook to arrest man at Carl Junction, Mo-, whom he knew was wanted for stealing. Four other strangers were nearby and presently Weav- CT found six guns pointing at him, and on command he stuck his own hands and guns as far toward high heaven as he could. The leader of the gang told the others to get away while he with two guns took care of Weaver. Drop that gun or you die came tue command to Weaver from the man behind the two ugly guns. A pause, and again the command was re- peated, and the tone Ill which they were spoken left no doubt but that they conveyed the true meaning of the speaker. Weaver is small and 1.-the. He knows no such thing as showing the white feather. He dropped to the ground like flash, and as he dropped he sent two bullets thru the body of the stranger while two others went whizzing over his own head. "I am all in, '' said the stranger. Weaver kick ed the dying mans guns beyond his reach and started after his first man, and in few minutes had him on the way to jail. An hour later Weaver was informed that the depot safe in nearby town had been blown by yegg men during the night. Unknow. ingly he had undertaken alone tc arrest the five men who had blown the safe.

 The activity of the A. II T. A. has a far-reac hing influence. It is a potent factor in the line of moral uplifting. It leads aright those who will be lead, but lays heavy hand OH those who persist in their efforts to live from the fruits of other mems toll. It prevents crime.

to meet the representatives of the interurban and enter into q writ- ten agreement to raise S36, ,006 S15.000 in cash and Sl5,o0o in right-of-way, material and con- struetion. This agreement was made and duly signed Saturday, April 10th.
 Tontitown has met all the re- quirements; Elm Springs las nearly, If not quite, raised tie amount agreed upon. So your committee is pleased to be able to report a success far beyond our expectations III such short period of time-an unbrokea chain of success. Not a single point has failed to eagerly aud enthusiastically respond by ae- eepting tie proposition submitted to It.
 Such faith and determination. led by expert specialists, will be crowned with success. When the survey and typographical work has been completed between Ben tonville and Gentry, the company will proceed to acquire right-of- way, assemble material and be- gin construction work. Il is ex- peeted that, on account Of tHe rapid progress being made, t will be necessary to put another corps ol surveyors in the field at once so as to keep this feature Of the work we'll in hand. In every town to which this electric inter- urban proposition has been sub- mitted and its terms met. the carping, fanltfnding pessimist has been found; the man wlo has thrown cold water on the propo- sition; who has said, 1t can't be done. sThe road will never he built. "These promoters are sharpS and frauds. Ii instead of such senseless "rots these men would do little intelligent in- vestigating before expressing any opinion, they would not make themselves so ridiculous and peo- pie would have more confidence iu their judgment.
 The facts are that the staud ing and eredibility of the gentle men who are promoting this en- terprise have been the subject of a critical, exhaustive investiga- tion by the very best attorneys in Arkansas, and these men and their proposition have been ap- proved and recommended to our people.
 These gentlemen, coming to us as strangers, have come with the very highest recomuenda- tons from four of the strongest and best banks of Chicago. They have the strongest kind of an assurance from the bonding com pany that just as soon as the S2500.0o per mile has been as sembled, they are ready to take the bonds and furnish the money to complete and fully equip the road. Let every stoekolder of the town of Gentry and vicinity stand pat" do all in his power to "boost" not "knoek" and ae- complishment of this great un- dertaking will be easier.

ond term as vice president of the Arkansas state order, and C. w. karnes, of West Fork, is at pres ent grand marshal of the state order, while l. G. Combs and Robert Boaz. of Fayetteville, are members of tile state executive committee.
 Win. Weaver. of Carthage, Mo-, mention of whom is made i'll this article. did much work to help spread the order in Arkan- saS. Prior to the time the Ark ansas orders were formed into a jurisdiction of their own they were attached to the Missouri division and Mir. Weaver served as president oi the order for number of terms while these states were united under one set of officers.
 Some people have d mistaken ldea of the A. H. T. A. It is not a vigilance committee, as some suppose. It is strictly a law abiding organization. The national organization is charter ed under the laws of the state of Kansas, and therefore has the sanction of the law. It upholds all law, and will not break one law to vindicate another. It op- poses mob violence with all of it's influence. It has been making it's plans to prevent, If possible, the introduc of the night riders" in the west. The associa- tion catches thieves and other l law breakers, but takes them al once to sheriff, cons table or marshal who has legal authority
 to take such persons in charge and hold them. The order then assists in getting the evidence in
