NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Newport People Should Learn stt Detect the Approach of Kid
 ney Disease.

fThe symptoms of kidney trou- ble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and ia tigue. Neglect these warnings, and there is immediate dan ger of dropsy, Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Newport proof:

SENATE CONSIDERS
 APPROPRIATION
Bill Proposes $10,00O to Assist Tn Entertainment of Veter-
 ! ans.
Special to Independent.

Little Rock, March 10. The question of the amount that shall be appropriated by thef state to assist in the entertainment of the Confederate Reunion is occupying the attention of the senate. Sen ator Jacobson called up Senate Bill 159 providing that the state shall contribute $1O,00O for that purpose, and urged it's passage. Senator Dill spoke for it and de- clared that all of Texas suffered when Dallas failed to provide enough for the reunion there.
 Senator Covington opposed it, and declared that Arkansas has enough to take care of in it's in digent soldiers.
 Senator Logan offered an amendment that $500O of the amount be used to pay the ex- penses of indigent veterans of the state who could not come otherwise, and this was adopted. }N~
 Senator Covington offered an amendment to reduce the total to $5000. President Toney took the floor and urged the passage of the bill for $1O,O00, declaring it a test of the generosity of the state, and that no one in Little Rock would get rich off the old soldiers.
 Senator Martin spoke for 1t, as did Senator Keel, who said Georgia had appropriated $25,OO0 for similar purpose when the Reunion met at Atlanta. Senator CarlLee opposed the bill, and de- clared it was in the interest esof Little Rock. This was the atti- tude of the measure when. .the
