NO IL FEELING

 in Jail

Little Rock, Ark, July 29-A sor- roWful party, in deep contrast to the little group who arrived here Mon day morning to make another effort to get possession of the six year old daughter of \. P. Willis, left Little Rock tonight for Indianapolis, carry ing with them the body of Willis who was shot and killed by w. Y. Ellis, of Pine Bluff Tuesday. The body is ,l
 In the party were l.. C. Willis, brother: Mrs. k. Willis, the seventy yearold mother, and Mr. and Mrs. A. R. kling, sister and brother-n-law of the deceased. One feature of their departure was the lack of ill feeling displayed by Willis relatives against Ellis. kline stated that the family took into consideration the high ten sion under which Ellis had been work ing. and that he was apparently craz- ed by passion at the time he did the shooting. Willis said the family bol Q no ill feeling against Ellis, whom they believed acted when he had absolute iy no control oyer himself. He said the employment. of counsel to pro secute Ell < was matttr for after consideration: that they believed that the States attorneys would see that the law was inforced 10 the letter in this case. King gave out the assur- ance, however, that Willis side of the story would be told ill court &t the proper time. He asserted that little known by the Willis family hal been told. Their evidence, he said, would have a tendency to soften tho public opinion and sentiment that now exists against Willis, even though it did pot bring about the conviction of Ellis.
 '. Ellis was returned to Lit tie Rock this afternoon ot o'clock from Newport He spent several hours in consultation with his uncle, John F. Rutherford; his attorneys. Judge NJ. A. Austin and James A. Gray, and his brother, Oscar Ellis. They outlin- ed plans for an early preliminary hearing, at which Ellis will waive examination, be bound over to the grand jury and make application for bail through habeas corpus proceed ings. Ellis will remain in the county jail until that time.

The Senate and the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 49, That there will be
a great variety of opinions on the tariff bill
when it reaches the Senate is now certain ac-
cording to expressions of senators in whose
States are located the various industries chiefly
affected by the changes of schedules proposed
in the bill.
Reductions of lumber schedules were sturdi-
ly resisted by Senators Frye and Hale of
Maine and by some of the senators from the
Pacific coast, and from the extreme northwest
Senators from Minnesota and North and South
Dakota, on the Ohio, will make strenuous
effort to secure free lumber, instead of the
mere reduction of the tariff as proposed by the
House bill.
The proposed inheritance tax will be stoutly
resisted and senators will have an opportunity
to vote upon an amendment providing for an
income tax. Free coal and hides also will be
resisted and there is likely to be strong fight
against reduction in the various iron and steel
schedules.
While the general trend of sentiment among
senators favors an increase in some schedules,
and while they generally believe that the
House has made ample reductions to satisfy
tariff reforms, at least one Republican senator,
Mr.. Cummins of Iowa, declared that the tariff
should be made still lower, and that he will do
everything in his power to obtain further
reductions.

RICH RED BLOOD.
You Will Never Have 1t as Long as You
Have Dyspepsia,

Just as long you have dyspepsia your food
will not properly digest, and the nutritious ele-
ments in the food will not be extracted or alb
sorbed, and impoverished or watery blood will
follow.
This condition may not be apparent at first,
but it will come just sure as the sun will rise
again.
Any stomach ailment, including all forms of
indigestion, can be promptly cured by using
Mi-on-na tablets, a scientific treatment unsur-
passed.
1t stops fermentation, beching of gas and
taste of sour food almost at once.
The mighty power of Mi-o-na to invigorate
and restore the stomach to perfect condition is
known everywhere.
Mi-o-na cures by building up-by banishing
the cause. For thin people it is great flesh
builder, because it causes the stomach to give
more and purer nutrition to the blood. 1t cures
sea and car sickness and vomiting of pregnancy
almost Immediately. A. A. Howes & Co. sells
Mi-o-na for SO cents large box, and guaran-
tees it to cure or money back.
