OSCAR |. MILES
 DEAD OF AP0PLfXY
WAS WELL KNOWN HERE
SUDDEN DEATH OF FORMER RAILROAD ATTORNEY AT
 BONNEVILLE.

Fort Smith, August 18.-Oscar l.. Miles, one of the best known attor- neys of Arkansas, and for ten years resident of Fort Smith, died sudden ly at his farm near Bonneville, Ark, last evening at 6:45 o'clock from a stroke of apopleXy. The stroke came about 6 o'clock, while he was sitting on the front porch. He was in con- versation with the woman whose hus- band looks after the farm, when sud denly his head fell backward on his breast, and seizing his arm, he ex- claimed: "I believe 1 have stroke of paralysis" These were the last words he ever uttered. The woman called some workmen, who were engaged in constructing Mr. Miles country home, and they placed him on a couch on the porch. A physician arrived in a short time, but MT. Miles died without regaining consciousness. Apparently MT. Miles health was perfect during the day, and he ate heartily of diff ferent kinds of fruit.
 Oscar L. Miles was born and reared in Virginia. He graduated at Elm cry and Henry college, Methodist in sttution located at Emery, Va. After completing his course in that institu- tion, he came to Arkansas and located at Bonneville, where he was for time professor of mathematics in an insti- tuition known at that time as the Bonneville College, but which later became known as the Fort Smith Dis trict high school.
 After teaching in the institution for a time he took up the practice of law and soon entered politics. He became deputy prosecuting attorney of the Fifteenth district under c. E. Lowers and later, in the year 1888, was elect - prosecuting attorney of that dis trct, which comprises Logan, Craw- ford and Franklin counties. He serv- ed in that capacity for two terms and in 1893 became candidate for cir cult judge, but was defeated by a small majority by J. H. Evans. He then removed to Van Buren, where he continued the practice of law and soon became attorney for the Iron Mountain railroad for the Western district of Arkansas and eastern Ok lahoma. This position he held until two years ago, when he resigned it in order to retire to private life. He was succeeded in the position by his brother, Lovick Miles.
 For a number of years past MT. Miles was much interested in the rais- ing of fine cattle, his herd of Here lords being well known all over the country. He shipped his cattle to many fairs and his stock won num- Der of handsome prizes.
 He is survived by his wife and six children, Mrs. Seab Holt, Mary, Os- car, Tanning, Merriam and Charlotte Miles.

ONE CONDUCTOR WHO WAS
 CURED.

MT. Milford Adams is his name, and he writes about it: Some time ago I was confined to my bed with chronic rheumatism. I used two bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy with good ef- feet, and the third bottle put me on my feet and resumed work as con- ductor on the Lexington, Ky, street railway. It gave me more relief than anly medicine had ever used, and it will do all you claim in cases of rheu- matsm." Foley's Kidney Remedy cures rheumatism by eliminating the uric acid from the blood.

HOPE TO DEFER
 TAP LINE RULE
LUMBER ROADS CUT OFF
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM MISSION TO BE RE-
 SISTED.

Little Rock, August 19.-An appeal has been made to the Arkansas rail road commission and Governor G. w. Donaghey for aid in staying off the commissions ruling on the tap lines until the merits of the case can be heard in the courts. The commission will reply in a few days by filing a remonstrance with the interstate com mission against the rule becoming eff fective in Arkansas, and the governor is asked to request President w. Il. Taft setting aside the order until after the courts have passed upon the questions incolved. Governor Dona- ghey is reported to have expressed his willingness to assist in every man. ner possible to prevent the ruling, which will be such a serious check to the lumber industry of Arkansas, be- coming effective September 24.
 The recent ruling of the interstate commerce commission makes it ille gal for all railroads not common car riers, participating in the division of freight receipts from haul starting on the short line. The commission failed to specify what is meant by common carrier" and all the little lumber roads were cut off by the trunk lines, which means the short lumber roads are practically put out of business.

BUSINESS IS RUSHING
 IN THE LAND OFFICE

Little Rock, August 18.-Back from the promised land, Texas and Okla homa, the tide of immigration turning to Arkansas as the state which will furnish the balm in the way of fer tile lands, for the wounds caused by following lurid literature to the states of san dues, cactus and mesquite State Commissioner of Lands C. C.. Coffman is daily in receipt of several dozen letters from people who desire to leave their present locations and find land more suited to their needs and desires. These letters come chief y from four states, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Illinois, in the order in which they are named. Some of the letters from Texas and Oklahoma are touching tributes to energy which has been expended in trying to coax h liv- ing out of the arid lands of the Col den West. The writers are not par ticular about state lands, or govern ment lands, but simply want to get information about the nature of lands in the different sections, all stating they contemplate moving to Arkansas as soon as they can find land which will suit them. Commissioner Golf man has been in the land office for a number of years, but says the busi- ness was never so ruching in the way of inquiries as it is now.

LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
 WHERE SALVES FAIL

In regard to skin diseases, medical authorities are now agreed on this:
 Don't imprison the disease germs in your skin by the use of greasy salves, and thus encourage theIG to multiply. A true cure of all eczematous diseases can be brought about only by using the healing agents in the form of a liquid.
 WASH THE GERMS OUT.
 A simple wash: A compound of Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, and other in gredients as combined in the D. D. D. Prescription. This penetrates to the disease germs and destroys them, then soothes and heals the skin as nothing else has ever done
 A 25 cent trial bottle will start the cure, and give you instant relief
