A Chance to Make Money.


 There will be just such rush for Ozark fruit lands, which are being distributed this fall, as there was to Oklahoma, when it was opened for settlement. There is no better fruit district on earth. You are required to have yonr land planted in fruit trees within three years. An author ized improvement company will do all improving on the installment plan. you pay sl0 a month. While the trees are small. vegetables will be raised between the rows and you are guaranteed per cent cent profit the first year and more than that the second and third year. For particu- lars address the Ozark Fruit and Land Go, Block ,307, Pittsburgh, Pa. The Con- pany will attend to your orchard for 1-3 the crop. Your 2-3 should bring you an annual profit of from sl00 to $50 per acre. This is surely chance of a lifetime.

Midnight Blaze.

The burning of pile Of ctossarms belonging to the Western Union Tele- graph G., in the railroad cut east of the city just after midnight on Satur- day was the primary cause of the de- raiIment of the engine of tHe mid night flyer, west out Of Memphis, known as Rock Island train No. 43. and that train was delayed in this city about three hours
 Forty threes crew discovered the fire and also that a carload of wood and a carload of coal were standing so near it as to be in danger If de- stuction. The dispatcher was notif- ed Of these conditions and the train crew was ordered to uncouple it's en. zine and spot the cars of wood and coal outside the circle of tue fire zone. When 43's engine, in compliance with this order, went in on the back track It ran off the rails just before the wood and coal was reached and for 'SN%' v wv 4AOAio tI4C AiliOTk QUdIe train crew SWeated and swore before the big "highstepper1 was finally got ten back on the track. In the mean time the carload of wood had already caught fire and was burning like tin der Al this juncture the lighted en- zine was run out on the main and backed in on the passing track, oppo- site the car of coal, where q pole was used in pushing this ear to a place of safety. An alarm was turned in and Fire Chief Daniel and two or three or his assistants turned out and did what they could 10 assist the railraqd men in their work and trouble The carload of wood which was consigned To the City Water x Light Co. was completely destroyed.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg. leCt.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked sallow- faced, sickly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions, and resumed his seat
 "Such cases are frequent, :" replied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and 1t is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Brights Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis. eases are prevalent
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi. tion by taking a reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire quent intervals during the sickly season.
 4 dose of Prick1y Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv. ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every. where as system tonic and bowel repu. lator. II not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones lip the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.

NEGRO GUN-MAN RUNS AMUCK
Kills Wife and Shoots and Seriously Wounds Two White Men Who At- tempt His Capture. Suspect Arrested at Round Pond.
 In Jail Here.

\ negro man ran amuck in Brink. ley Monday night and shot-up res taurant conducted by negress by the name Of Alexander which re- suited in the death of the Alexander woman. The negro desperado made his getaway in the direction Of Wheatley, small town five miles east. The Brinkley officers called up City Marshal Brownlee. of Wheatley and instructed him 10 be on the look out for the black The marshal, ac- companied by Duffey McPhaul, a citizen of Wheatley and D. II. Mason, a grading contractor, whose home is in Helena, came upon the negro shootist about an hour later as he approached Wheatley, walking along the railroad track. Officer Brownlee ordered the negro to halt and throw up his hands, but instead the desper- ate black opened fire on the white man, breaking the marshal's leg at the first shot after which he turned his gun on Mason, shooting and seri- ously wounding the Helena contrator in the abdomen. The negro turned and ran back towards Brinkley pur- sued by Duffey McPhaul who fired six shots from his revolver after him and it is also stated that Mason fired three shots, but it is thought the negro escaped without injury. Brown. lee was carried to Memphis where an operation was performed and where it is reported from the hospital au- thorities that he will recover. Ma son, the other wounded white man, was carried to his home in Helena and, while his injuries were very serious and painful, strong hopes are also held out for lis recovery.
 A suspect who gives his name as sam Smith, who answers closely the description of the negro desperado sent out from Brinkley was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Chas. Fleming at Round Pond Tuesday night. lmme- diately after the arrest was reported, Chief Deputy E. S. Moore, accom- panied by an officer and a negro from Monroe county, who claimed to know the shootist, left for Round Pond to identify the suspect. The Monroe county representative said that the negro captured at Round Pond was not the right man.
 Duffy McPhaul one of the white men who battled with the negro shootist at Wheatley came over to this city last night and declared that Smith was the right man This leaves the officers in dilemma and they are makingfurther investigations in their efforts to make certain of the identity of the negro who is now in jail here and who styles himself, sam Smith A late report has it that the negress killed at Brinkley was the wife of the black gun-man.
