Final Round Before County Court Over Election Cont st Rssnl n the Defeat of Saiau lr ests--
 Notice of App Gissa.

The contest over the 80 on acea e ouestion cane up ssAin last Thursday before Judge Martin. By equsst the natter was postponed until 1:3O this Afternoon.
 Attorneys for the saloon men came into court with petition to have the returns from three precincts thrown out, alleging fraud and irregularities. The points in contest are Vandervoort, Lower Big Fork and Cove. In support of the contention a number of witness es were examined, developing the facts that Lower Big Fork and Cove returns passed through the hands of several parties not authorized by law before reaching the commissioners hands. It was also developed that at syanderyoort one judge aided parties in making out their ballots when the law provides for this to be done by two judges. There was also some tes- timony showing that some election eering had been done by the judges at Vandervoort.
 After hearing this evidence Judge Martin stated that if that was all that was to be shown he did not care to hear any argument as he did not consider the irregularities suffi- cient to cause the returns from those precincts to be thrown out and he would therefore dismiss the saloon mems pe- tition, sustain the election returns as made by the commissioners, which showed the county had given major ity vote of IT against license, and re- fuse to grant saloon license. The at torneys for the saloon interests gave notice that they would appeal to the Circuit Court.

SENATE AND HOUSE
 OVER RIDE VETO
S2O0. 900 Per Diem Measure Enacted Despite Opposition of Governor Donaghey-A Liability Bill
 Introduced.

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-Cyerriding the opposition of Governor Donaghey, expressed by his veto. the House Tuesday afternoon passed the $20O, ,000 per diem and mileage bill which was likewise passed by the Senate over the governor s veto in the forenoon. Though only 51 votes, a majority of all members elected, was required to pass the bill the vote in favor of it was 56. Governor Donaehey favored only $1O0, 900 or $125,0O0 appropria- tion, but the senate was stubborn and refused to accede to his wishes and seeing there was no opportunity to get bill for SIPS ,000 through without an amendment raising it to $200, ,OO0 in the Senate, the House voted with the Senate.
 As soon as the bill was reported again to the Senate, the members who had begun to run short of money begun to call upon the chief clerk of the House and secretary of the Senate for their per diem.
 Dill brought in the third act of the afternoon, one affecting the liability of corporations for injuries to employees. The bill make the company liable even though there was contributory negli- eence on the part of the employee, if the neglect of the corporation is great CT than that of the employee. In the House the afternoon was quiet after the appropriation bill had passed, the only ripple being an automobile bill which requires the owners of motor cars to stop when horse is passing, and to secure permission from the driver of carriage pulled by horse before the old-style vehicle can be passed by the horseless carriage. Both houses are grinding today, even ! though it is a state holiday.

Laxative Sent
 Free to Try

It may be taken for granted that there is no family of any size that goes very long without needing lax ative. If you don't know of a good laxative, or the laxative you are using is losing it's effect, we want to call your attention to Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of families are using successfully.
 We have scores of letters from moth- CTS. and scores from prominent men saying they are using it personally and giving 1t to their families. men like Mir. c. K Smith of the Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff, Ark, and Mir. George E. Turner, a lawyer of Harlan, Ky. The thousands of mothers who use it them selves and give it to their children would take too much space to mention.
 The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin is that it is mild, gentle laxative tonic that does not gripe-effective and yet so mild that babies can take it. It's tonic ingredients invigorate the body and strengthen the stomach and bow el muscles so that they again do their work naturally. If you have been a victim of salts, pills and strong cathar- tics you will discard them when you once use Syrup Pepsin.
 You can buy fifty cent or one dc!- lar bottle of any druggist. but before doing so you may want to try it free. If SO. send your address to Dr. Cald- we'll and he will promptly forward a free sample bottle Then, being con- vinced, do as others are doing and buy 1t in the regular way of your favorite druggist.
 pr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obli- gation. He has specialized in stomach, liver and bowel diseases for over forty years and will be pleased 10. give the reader any advice on the subject free of charge All are welcome to write him. Whether for the medical advice or tho free sample address him Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 5ti Caldwell building, Monfirsiio. Iii.

OLD SORES
 DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug- gests diseased blood. The infamrna- tion, discharge, discolored flesh, and the fact that local applications have no permanent effect toward healing the ulcer, shows that deep down in the system there is morbid cause for the sore. But more convincing proof that bad blood is the cause for these places is furnished by the fact that even removing the sore or ulcer by surgical operation does not cure; they always return. Nature will heal any sore if the blood is pure aud healthy, but until the circulation is cleansed of all impure matter and supplied with nourishing and plasinic qualities tine infected condition of flesh is OBLIGED to remain s. s. s. heals Old Sores in a perfectly natural way.

SAGE FOR DARKENlNG THE
HAIR.

There is nothing new about the idea oil
using sage for restoring the color OF the
hair. Our great-grandmother kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using a
sage tea Whenever their hair fell out
or took on dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, they made a brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-time,
tiresome method Of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done BY
skilfu chemists better than W. could do
1t ourselves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product, Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation Is sold by all first-class
druggists for soc. and $1.0O bottle, or
is sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company, "a Cortlandt St., New EYork
City, upon receipt Of price.

A fine PLAY
AT GRAND
TONIGHT
&THE MAN on THE Boz" A CON-
EDY FULL OF LIVE SITUATIONS
AND BUBBLING OVER WITH
Pun AND LAUGHTER.

Genuine and wholesome comedy
such as has been seldom offered
since the days of the Augustin DAILY
companies will be the vogue at the
Grand on March 10, when the most
conspicuous comedy success of the
last 20 years in New York City, "The
Man on the Box" dramatized by
Grace Livingston Furniss from Har-
old McGrath's successful book of the
same name will be presented.
The story of the play is founded on
a joke and is full of genuine comedy
and heart interest. 1t relates that
Lieutenant Worburton has seen a
young lady on the steamer while re-
turning from Europe, who has won
his heart, but to whom he was una
BILE to be introduced. At home In
Washington his sister urges him to
accompany her to the embassy ball.
but he declines. He conceives the
idea for practical joke on his sis
ter, and arranges with the family
coachman to take his place on the re-
turn from the function with in the
intention Of driving at reckless
speed, making his sister believe that
the horses are running away and then
finally stopping them and lifting his
sister out Of the carriage and while
in the coachman's livery implanting
a hearty kiss upon her cheek. He
carries out the program until the
carriage calls are made, when he
forgets the proper number and de-
livers the kiss as he had planned, be-
fore he realizes the mistake. The
consequence is police cell for the
night, with the charges of reckless
driving and abduction to face in
the morning. With this foundation a
capital comedy has been written that
Is worth going miles to see.
