Finds He is Married.

Batesville, March 25.-Sim Wo-
mack who didn't consider pros
poets of welded bliss alluring
enough to warrant spending the
price of second fee for getting
"hitched" and who permitted his
hancee to go back to her fathers
home now finds that by waiting
two and half months he has not
only saved his dollar but has a wife
besides, for it has just been estab-
lished that the first ceremony for
which he spent his good money
was legal and binding, although it
was not considered so from the
time it was performed, Jan. 2, un-
til this week. Prosecuting Attor-
ney w. R. Reese of the I4th judi
cial circuit has just passed upon
the validity of the appointment Of
magistrates. Young Womack
lives in Faulkner county and it is
probable that he will come and
claim his bride who lives in the
vicinity of Almond. She is the
daughter of J. R. Frazier.

Women Who Wear Well.

It Is astonishing how great a change Q
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF it's freshness and the form of its
fairness.

MANAGE FAIR
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY.

L. c. Perry, president of the
Educational Lyceum Bureau of
this city, was given the position of
manager of the Faulkner county
fair, by the board of directors of
the Fair Association, at a meeting
held last night. The members Of

will devote much lime and atten-
ton to perfecting the details for a
successful fair.
The board also decided upon a
site for the fair grounds, entering

CUPID TAKING A VACATION
Marriage License Business so Dull that
Some Issued are Returned Unused.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

ANY marriagelicenses issued to-
day." asked The Log Cabin Dem
ocrat man in County Clerk ]. H.
Bailey's Office this morning.
No" replica Mr.. Bailey, there
hasn't been any for four or five
days, and that isn't the worst of it.
Here this morning l received two
licenses that l issued a few weeks
ago which were returned unused.
One was from Perry county negro,
who writes that his prospective
bride amt able to get married and
won't be for some time The 9TH
er was returned by youth living
in the northern part of the county
whose sweetheart mas decided to
postpone the wedding until she
grows a little older. Yes, the
marriage license business is awfully
dull, )" said the county clerk, shak
ing his head dejectedly, but it
seems that it is DO fault of the
masculine portion of the pogula
ton

WILL COACH
HENDRIX TEAM

V. c. Wilbur of Yellville, Ark. i,
formerly a we'll known baseball
player and manager, is here to
coach the Hendrix team, which is
now getting into shape for the
spring games. Mr.. Wilbur dur
ing his college days was catcher Oh
the Columbia University team and
later managed the Bingham, New
York, state league team. 1t was
while acting in the latter capacity
that he discovered" Fielder
Jones, now the great leader of the
Chicago American league team.
Mr.. Wilbur is friend of Prof. M.
J. Russell, who induced him to
spend a few weeks here as his
guest, and while here he consented
to superintend the practice of the
Hendrix nine.
Coach ]. L. Leonard is delight
ed over securing Mr.. Wilbur's SER
vices. He says Hendrix has the
most promising material for team
he has ever seen here and is con-
fident that another championship
will be landed for the college.

SUICIDE TRICK DIDN'T WORK
Tom Davis Attempts to Fool
Jailer.
Who Found Him Dangling at uhe End of a
Strap, but was Supported by Eel
low Prisoner.

Van Buren,, March 25.-When-
ever Jailer Levy cuts down pseudo
suicides he reaches in from the
outside, through the bars and gent
ly ships the rope, strap or suspen-
der. This commemorate habit
occasionally saves him from much
personal discomfort, such as at
tends, invariably, raps on the head
with an . iron cuspidor and pre-
vents prisoners walking over his
PROSTATE form to freedom. A.
least that's the way he did when
Tom Davis decided, apparently,
to quit Van Buren, by the suicide
route.
But Jailer Levy is by instinct a
cautious man, having been born
that way. When he found Davis
dangling at the end of strap and
his cell mate Brennan wildly call
ing for assistance and holding Da-
Wis weight carefully from the sup
port of the strap, Levy didn't rush
pellmell into the cage leaving
the door open and likewise an ave-
nue. of escape. Instead he stopped
to ponder a moment and incident
ally to cut "chew". He reflected
that it was mighty strange that
Davis should launch himself into
eternity just as the jailer's key
was heard in the door and that
his cell mate should exert himself
to the extent of holding up 200
pounds for two minutes if all that
was to be gained was Davis life.
Now Brennan would surely have
called for help at an earlier stage
in the game if
But Levy just reached through
the bars and cut the strap. Then
Davis and Brennan looked at each
other foolishly and retired to their
hunks to think it over.

"FALSE LEADERSHIP"

In an editorial under this caption
the Western Methodist says:
The acting Legislative superln-
tendent of the Anti Saloon League
at Washington, Mr.. William II.
Anderson, writes us that he has
had trouble keeping legislation on
on the right track in Congress,
particularly legislation relative to
a commission to investigate the
liquor traffic and report its findings
to Congress. The simple truth
about this proposition is that it
was a whiskey proposition from
start to finish, and was intended
to delay action by Congress. Yet
the friends of the measure manag-
ed to catch a good many church
people, and had them sending in
petitions to Congress to pass the
measure. The editors Of the West
ern Methodist could give illustra
tons of the same folly. Things
have been urged before the legis-
1ature of Arkansas, and we have
not infrequently been asked to
urge things that we knew would
be destructive of sound temperance
policy. People who are not on
the ground would do we'll to know
exactly who is giving them advice
before they undertake to get meas
ures adopted
1t is of course not difficult to sur
mise the legislation in Arkansas to
which the Methodist refers, and it
is easy to appreciate the awkward
attitude in which the Gam social
ed prohibition bill has placed the
level headed editors of that paper.
They recognize the defect' in the
Gam bill and doubtless realize the
fact that it would be detrlment
rather than benent to prohibition
yet their position as editors OF a
religious paper precludes them from
opposing a measure that has been
introduced as prohibition ! | ! aud
has been endorsed by the various
temperance organizations of the
state. In their own minds we
doubt not that they hope to see a
genuine prohibition law substitute
ed and submitted to the people 70,
adoption and we really believe that
a frank statement to this effect by
them would do much to clear the
beclouded atmosphere of proposed
legislation.

NOT A CENT YET PAID OUT
Gov. Donaghey Answers Legis-
lator's Charge.
Brinkley Funds not Misappropriated, for
Simple Reason That Not Penny
has been Distributed.

Little Rock, March 26.-Reply-
ing to charges made by Represen-
tative J. T. Ard of Jackson county
in the house yesterday, that the
funds of the Brinkley relief fund
had been Incorporated, Gov
ernor Donanhey this morning sent
a special message to the house.
The governor knocked the props
from under Ards insinuations by
stating that there could be no mis-
appropriation of the funds for the
simple reason that not one cent of
the relief fu I'D has as yet been paid
out.
Gov. Donaghey states that he
has been working out systematic
method of distribution for the fund
in order to prevent any possibility
of its misuse, and that pending the
perfecting of these details no part
whatever of the appropriation had
been released.
