RHEUMATISM
WEAK KIDHEYs RTHIN BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
rourishing source Of our systems, but
equally as important is its work OF
removing the waste of oxodized it's
sues which have been consumed IN
force and bodily heat. This waste IS
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
TO remain IN the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys the
greater portion Of nourishing elements
Of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impursty with which i IS
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches Of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects IN the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell
ing and Inflammation Of the flesh.

Houston, and Oklahomas 9f votes went to Houston. The result of the second ballot was as follows: Ma con, 1909; Chattanooga, I'll; Hous- ton, 809. Macon was declared the winne., and upon motion the choice was then made unanimous.
 Credit for the victory of Macon is due largely to the efforts of Secre- tary Hyman, of the Chamber of Com merce, who had for several weeks co lducted a campaign in favor of that city. The city had been flooded with buttons, streamers, badges and pla- cards boosting Macon, 1912,' and MT. Hyman had even gone among the throngs and scattered buttons by the bushel. It was a victory for perse- verance and publicity. It is report ed that Macon already has $50,00O in cash in the bank to provide for the entertainment of the Veterans.

 Fl Paso, Texas, May 17.-Hot on the heels of Judge Carabajal's ad vent into Fl Paso to talk peace with Madero, comes stories of limitless Diaz money, ready to buy off Ma dero's military leaders. Most of these tales are true. The town is full of Diaz agents and they are not here in any mere mood of curiosity, but to do business, if "business' can be done. There was the attempt upon the loyalty lof General Orozco, an op- en case. Yesterday wire in Dutch was sent from the city of Mexico signed by the man at the right arm of Diaz, to viljoen, thu Boer general who acts as Madero's military ad- visor. The wire said:
 "The government is ready to do business with you.' ~
 Viljoen showed the message to Ma dero and answered it in an effort to determine whether Or not it was au- thentic and had actually come from Diaz. Today Viljoen received sec ond message which leaves no doubt of the true Diaz character of the ear Her message In short, Diaz is try ing and from the beginning has been trying to double cross Madero.

 1912 REUNION United Confederate Veter- ans Select Georgia City For Next Gathering
TO HONOR REYNOLDS
Veterans to Erect Monument at Lake
 EiIlage-Disapproval of El- son History.

Little Rock, Ark, May 17-Aside from selecting Macon, Georgia, as the place for the 1912 meeting, the fea- ture of today's session of the United Confederate Veterans convention was the adoption of the report of the con- mittee on history, in which particular disapproval was stamped upon cer- tain publications covering the history of the Civil War. The committee paid its especial attention to a his- tory by Bison and fairly blistered the chances of said publication for fu- ture circulation in the south.
 It was urged that above all things the story of the Civil War should be handed down to succeeding genera tions in it's true prospective and the charge was unreservedly made that the publication lin question is not fair to the south and that the school that adopts 1t will pursue an ''un- fortunate course, etc.
 This history is said to have been adopted by certain schools in Vir- ginia befcre it's alleged demerits were discovered.
 A resolution was also adopted re- commending the erection of monu- ments in memory of General D. H. Reynolds at Lake Village, Ark, and at Rockville, Maryland. The con- vention also recommended for the consideration of southern congress- men the suggestion that publication be made of the currency of the Confed- enacy together with a history of the fiscal side of the Confederacy.

NO SPECIAL
 TERM IN DESHA Judge Grace Says Excite ment There Makes Trial
 of Men Impossible A PETITION FOR IT Reasons Given For His Refusal Compliments People of Desha
 For Goodness.
A PETITION FOR IT

Because of the excitement that pre- valls in Desha county as result of the killing of Constable Vital Arch ard, of Farrell, Ark, near Dumas Saturday night by mob of five le- groes, alleged to have been headed by w. $. Rhea, white man, all of whom have been arrested and jailed, and believing that the prisoners could not get a fair and impartial trial at this time, Judge A. B. Grace, of the Jeff ferson circuit court, yesterday denied coroner's jury and other citizens of that county, asking that special term of court be held to try the ac- cused men at once. Rhea is still in the county jail here and four of the negroes are incarcerated at Arkansas City. One of the five negroes was killed while trying to escape.
 Judge Grace in his letter to the petitioners says that a trial cannot be
 
 flying thick and fast and the com munity is excited and angry because of the enormity of the offense. A trial under such circumstances, he says, would be not very far removed from mob law and Judge Lynchs court.
 Judge Grace says further: q desire to state that in view of the facts re- ported as attending this murder the people of the whole state of Arkansas have a right to feel proud of the con- duct of the good citizens of Desha county under most trying circum- stances. That the accused persons were promptly arrested; that all at tempts at mob violence were discour- aged and repressed; that law abid- ing spirit prevailed over the natural impulse to speedily avenge foul crime, and that the trial of the ac- cused and the punishment of the gull ty was relegated to the courts, was an exhibition of good citizenship and must command the unqualified ap- proval of the nation, and reflect much credit upon our state.
 The circuit court is in session here and Judge Grace will not hold a term of the Desha court until August
 The petition asking for the special term of the circuit court and Judge Grace's answer follows:
 Copy of the Petition.
 The following is copy of the pe- tition received by Judge Grace:
 Dumas, Ark, May 15, 1911. Judge A. B. Grace,
 Pine Bluff, Ark.
 Dear Sir:-We, your humble ser wants, citizens of Desha county, and recently acting as a coroner's jury, sitting upon as foul a case of murder as was ever committed in our state, would most respectfully petition Your HonIor to give this case all the atten- tion that your court can command, and, if consistent with your views, grant an early special trial.
 An officer, R. V Archard, in the discharge of his duty, with 3 prison- CT under arrest for murder, was ov- ertaken by mob of five negroes and one white man, at night, upon the

Judge ttracc's Reply.

Judge Grace mailed the following reply to the petitioners;
 Pine Bluff, Ark, May 16, 1911.
 MT. M. A. 'Bridewell and Others,
 Dumas, Arn.
 Gentlemen:-I have yours of the 18th inst, in regard to the case of Rhea and othels charged with the murder of one Vital Archard,
 AS soon as l was informed of the facts I telegraphed Preston, sheriff, directing him to permit Rhea to waive examination before a J. F. and then bring him here for safe keep ing, and also to take all steps neces- sary to protect the negro prisoners. Accordingly Rhea was brought here and lodged in jail, where he now is. For some reason unknown to me he was not permitted to waive examina- tion as 1 directed and hence the sher- if has no warrant for his commit ment to jail. This was a serious mistake but probably due t) the ex- citement prevailing at the time in consequence of the brutal and hein- ous character of the crime alleged to have been committed. However, the man is in jail and can not legally get out and unless l so order and that is a matter for future consid- eration.
 I do net think if advisable to call a special term of the Desha circuit court to try this case for two req sons:
 First: Every man charged with a crime is presumed to be innocent and not guilty of such charge until the contrary is proven, and is entitled to an absolutely fair and impartial judi cial trial. In my opinion such a trial cannot be had while rumors of all kinds are flying thick and fast and the community is excited and angry because of the enormity of the of- fense A trial under such circum- stances would be net very far rempv- ed from mob law and Judge Lynch s court.
 Secondly: The Jefferson circuit court is in active session trying the criminal docket and will be so en- gagged until about the middle of June. It will then be less than month un- til the regular July term iof the Desha court unless the legislature has pass ed the bill changing the time, and in that event court will convene at Arkansas City in August. A special term, therefore, would hardly be conI ducive to the ends of justice; would save but little time, and would entail a heavy and unnecessary expense on the taxpayers of your county.
 I am quite confident that you and all the people of Desha know me we'll enough to feel assured that l will always use my best efforts to secure a prompt, strict and impartial of the law and the pun ishment of criminals when the crime has been legally established. Thls instance will prove no exception and you can confidently rely on the as- suramce that nothing will be done by mo +o facilitate tha escape from pun ishment of the persons guilty or the foul murder of this brave offlcer or the law. At the same time 1t Is my duty and will be my pleasure to see that the accused are protected from n1pular clamor CT violence. and that they receive fair and impartial trial before they are condemned ard punished.
 With sentiments of the highest per- sonal regard, I am gentlemen,
