Miss Joyce, by the way. is an enthusiastic fan and we see her with her girl friends at the Polo Grounds, greatly interested in the Giants struggle for the pennant.
 party of sharpers, anxious for New York to lose a decisive game, en- deavor to bribe Marquard. The Peer less Pitcher has something to say about the honesty of the great Ameri can pastime and roundly thrashes the gambler who approaches him.
 Finding their plans have miscarried the sharpers become desperate and through a ruse, decoy Marquard to an office in the tower of the Metropoli- tan building, nearly 600 feet above the ground. ''Rube," imprisoned in the room, opens the windows and endeav- ors to attracat the attention of some Iasserby. but finds that he cannot be heard at that great height.
 As Miss Joyce starts from her ho- tel for the game she glances at the clock in the Metropolitan tower and sees the figure of a man in window on the fortieth floor, wildly waving his handkerchief p her 'scovers the man to be Marquard and she immediately surmises that something is wrong. She hastens to the building in her automobile and with the assistance of janitor, liberates "Rube." Away they speed for the Polo Grounds, where the game is going against the Giants
 The New York team rallies and se- cures narrow lead of one run. Mar qnard arrives in time to hold down the opposing team and prevent fur ther scoring. That night Miss Joyce receives handsome token of appre- citation from the Giants.

Besides this the DIE nre dc estroyed the court house and We had to prepare temporary buildings for that purpose. which .cosa consider ahla mpney. We had to provide q new iail We had to reproduce the ccuntv records, which cost many thousands of dollars. and We had many other such expenses after the fire that our successors in office did not have to contend with. More than that the tax payers had to foot the hills of more than fifty false idict- nents. which were procured against myself and others to satisfy the en- entity of such men as Hugh Hale, which cost the tax payers more than ffteen thousand dollars. The smith bridge was built during my last four years administration and cost $21,000 and become part of the enormous debt he speaks of. Hugh Hale knew this to be true and had he desired the truth to prevail he would have told the whole truth for the truth was in his possession.

---------------------- WHiTTiNCToN PARK.

Tonight is the last opportunity Of witnessing the great Two Men Band at the summer theater in Wilmington park, as well as hearing some very interesting solos, exceptionally well rendered by Miss Jane Norwood, There have been many vaudeville acts of musical nature in Hot Springs, but the two artists who succeed is Keeping six musical instruments going playing popular compositions, are the most wonderful and novel of any. This is an act that is different from all oth- CTS, for the reason that it is not every one who can do the things that these men do.
 A very excellent picture program has also been provided for the patrons of the summer theater tonight. Gau- mont, whose celebrated animated weekly is big hit, presents a won derful reel, "The Supreme Sacrifice, while lively comedy is provided by the Majestic company in The New Butler, and Reliance has a sterling reel in One Against Another These are three pictures never before seen in this city. and each one worthy ot consideration.

STOMACH MISERY
 JUST VANISHED
NO INDIGESTION, GAS OR SOUR MESS NESS AFTER TAKING "farE'S
 DiAPEPStN."

If that you just at is sourlng on your stomach or lies like lump of lead, refusing ao digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour undigested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heart burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth and stomach headache is indigestion.
 A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs only fifty cents and will thoroughly Icure your out-of order stomach, and leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may suffer from stomach trouble or in digestion
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula printed on thse fifty cent cases. and then you will under stand why dyspeptic trouble of all kinds must go, and why they usually relieve sour, out-of-order stomachs or indigestion in five minutes. Diapepsin is harmless aud tastes like candy, though each dose contains power sufficient to digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood all the food you eat; besides, 1t makes you go to the table with healthy appetite; but what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and intes- tines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxatives or pills for billiousness or constipation.
 This city will have many Diapepsin cranks, as some people will call them, but you will be cranky about this splendid stomach preparation tho ir you ever try little for indigestion or gastritis or any other stomach misery.
 Get some now this minute, and for ever rid yourself of stomach trouble and indigestion.

WHO'S AFRAID !?

MT Hale would have you believe was afraid to meet him on the stump Let us see If that is lie or the truth We have been invited seven times to sreak in the country. l have been present seven times. MT. Hale has been present four times. Why did he stop going? Berause the more places and times he speaks the few CT votes he will get, and no one be- came wiser to that fact sooner than 6id Hugh Hale, and that is the reas- on he failed to appear In the city I pay no attention to him than would fee puppy, for the people know him and that is all that Is ne ocssary. Where the people know him best that is. where he will ge the least votes
 In conclusion let me say that an officer that will allow gambler to uffer him a bribe and fail to arrest hlm is dishonest himself A man that will allow gambler to offer him a bribe, through a friend an fails to swear out warrant against the gambler and bring his friend as witness and send tie would-be bribe giver to the penitentiary is dis~ honest, himself A man that would call the people together as Hale did with the distinct promise that he
 would divulge the names of those who tried to bribe him. and then fails and refuse to do so, is not only dis honest, but coward. A man who will admit upon the stump that the reason that he did not divulge the names of those who attempted to blibe him was because the gamblers sent him word if he did so they would murder him is not only a cow ard but is unworthy of belief, Is un worthy of citizenship in this or any other community, and because he shirked his duty as sheriff because hs was afraid they would murder him. render him incapable to fill the of flee of sheriff

The circular sent out by Hale and signed by ]. s. Mcconnell Is unworthy or attention. l might say here that McConnell has betrayed and deserted Hale and Is now commander-in chief 'ii Presldent Bledsoe's army. If yoH do not know Mcconnell I will tell you who he is. He once held posi-

A PLAIN STATEMENT OF THE
 TRUTH.

A PLAIN STATEMENT OF THE
 TRUTH.
 First 1 desire to beg pardon for issuing the first circular III the his tory of my political life l have al- ways believed that if man running for office had any political merit he would be able to demonstrate 1t upon the stump, and that it was nnneces- sary for him to assail his opponent, either by circular or otherwise.
 The fact that man runiing TOT of flee is driven to the extreme of is- suing circular such as has been sent out by Hugh Hale, shows con clusively that he Is not that character of man people have confidence in. MT. Hale in his circular puts before the people speech claiming to have been made by him at the court house on the 9th of this month, when in reality the speech was written by a lewyer in the city of Hot Springs.
 He begins by saying that l could have collected from the gamblers $50,- 000.00 year while in office. Having served you sixteen years, could have, he says. put into the county treasury $500, ,000.00.
 With this money he said he could have bridged the river at every place needed. He could have bridged all the creeks wherever needed. He could have built school houses in every dis trict in the county. He could have paved every street in the city of Hot Springs. He could have macadamiZed every road leading out of the city into the county and then have large sur plus left in the county treasury. In other words he would have you believe that God has selected him as the po- litical Moses to lead Garland county Israelites out of the wilderness of cor ruption brought about by Bob Will liams

POLITICAL CIRCULAR
 FROM BOB WILLIAMS

the sheriff, through the press, calis the people together with the posl'iVe statement that he would then ana there give the names of those guilty oi attempting to bribe him, and then ap- solutely fails and refuses to do so, no other construction can be piaceu upon his action other than he has lied or was bribed. When snerih will in public speech, as Hugh Haie did in Antioch township, on the Ill teenth day of this month, say tnaO the reason he did not diyulge the names of those as he promised to oo was because they sent him word they would murder him if he did so, ne IS coward and unfit to hold the posl- ton of dog catcher. Suppose some one steals your horse and sends Hale word not to follow him; that II ne d'd he would kill him. what would the re- suit be You would have to go alone or lose your horse. He would send you word that it would be much better for you to lose your horse than TOT tne people to lose their sheriff.

REDUCTION OF THE COUNTY
 DEBT.

Hale speaks of the reduction of the county debt. Let us look in that for a moment and ascertain the truth In the case. Hale could as well told the truth, but 1t did not suit his po- litical campaign of untruths and mis. representations. The people have in the past four years paid s3O0.174 00 more taxes than they paid the last four years I was in office, in other words, they have paid each year for the past four years $75,OOO.OO more taxes than they paid the last four years l was sheriff.

THE COURT HOUSE COST s215,ooo.

l presume he would have you be- lieve that l built the court house and am responsible for the cost thereof. There is not a citizen living in the county who is not as much responsible for the wrong things there as l am. I had no more to do with it than he did and am no more responsible for the evils if there be, than he The only thing l am guilty of 1t this; l went to Washington, D. C., and re- mained there ten or fifteen days, paid my own expenses which was something more than $300.00, and got the site from the government to build the court house on. If that was a crime am guilty. No one denies that the court house could not have been built and furnished on less than s215.- O00.00, but Garland county had not one dollar in money with which to build the same. If a farmer has 100 bushels of corn that he is willing to take $75.O0 for, cash down, what do you think he would want for the corn If he had to walt twelve years for his money2 He would take no less than $15000. The same ratio applies to the building of the court house
