Fine Jewelry House. Doing Most
Gratifying and Increasing
Business.

The love of ornaments, even
among savages, is a strong eharac-
teristic, and adjoining ones self with
rich gems and costly jewelry is a
pleasure of the royalty and the can
nibal alike. Cleopatra. the beautiful
queen of the Nile, when other diver
sions failed her, dissolved pearls in
wine and drank them. Nor were the
ancients the only ones who loved
precious gems, for to this day the
devil tempts his innocent Margue-
rites with jewels. One of the most
prominent and appreciated houses of
Prescott is that of ]. c. Sitzman, on
East Elm street, where the largest
jewelry stock in the city is kept It
consists of choice settings in dia-
monds and other precious gems, and
artistically wrought jewelry of all
kinds, in pins. buttons, bracelets,
rings, lockets. etc, also a most beau
tiful line of cut glass and fine china.

NEWTH & KING
Practical Mechanics In Black smith

and Wagon Work.
Prescott has number of first
class mechanics, but two men who
rank high for skill and ability to
properly shoe a horse, or to repair a
wagon, buggy or any piece of farm
machinery or tool, are Messrs. w. A.
Newth and Carl King, who have been
working together in the business for
more than twelve years, although
only established as the present firm
six years. Their shop on West Main
street is properly equipped with the
best of facilities for conducting the
various departments of it, and they
make each job they turn out a rec
ommendation for their work. There
always comes a time in the expert
ence of every person having occasion
to use a vehicle when he needs re-
pairs, and farm machinery is often
out of fix" and we know of no firm

also make a speciality of correct
horseshoeing and no animal ever
leaves their shop Improperly shod ,
on the contrary, thees men are so
familiar with the requirements of
shoeing horse as to be able to
often correct injuries and errors
done by former bad shoeing. Mr..
Newth was born in Michigan, but
came to Arkansas twenty-six years
ago first locating in Nevada County,
where he has lived the entire time

and for thirteen years has lived in
Prescott, where he is the owner of
residence property, member of the

and honored and respected by all
who know him. Mr.. King was born
and reared in Nevada County, and
has resided in Prescott thirty-two
years where, 1t can be said, no man
stands higher than he for honesty
and integrity Both proprietors are
industrious and progressive, and by
their skill and conscientious work
merit the flourishing business they
are steadily enjoying.

quent and hard to cure, for there is
no doubt that bad shoeing has ruined
more good horses than any other
single cause under control of man.
Navicular disease, laminities, found
er, contracted hoofs, thruhs, cracks,
and other various ills may, in innu-
merable cases, be traced to this
source, and oyerreaching, tripping,
stumbling, are often caused and al
ways aggravated by improper shoe
ing, OF late years, however, much
more attention has been given to
the structure of the horses foot, and
greatly improved methods of shoeing
have ben devised. Among those liz
F. Dixon deserving of mention in ar
issue of this kind. Mr.. Dixon was
born in Missouri, but came to Pres
colt from that state twenty-siX years
ago. Five years ago he built his
present brick shop on West Main
street and has since enjoyed a steady
and constant patronage. He does
horseshoeing in the most scientific
manner, and also all kinds of repair
ing on wagons, buggies and farm i'm
plements and machinery, where the
services of a practical blacksmith are
required. his trade coming to him
from those who appreciate good
work at the right kind of prices. Mr..
Dixon is member of the Masonic

owns a nice home on five acres Of

ing strictly TO his business and
working hard and conscientiously at

Of all home treatmentsS for the halr, the therox dry shampoo seems to be the most satisfactory by far. There IS something about it totally different from any other treatment, and the hair responds so quickly. Put four ounces of powdered orris root Cor a cupful Of cornmeaD in a fruit jar and add the contents of a small original package of therox. shaking well together, Sprinkle a little on the head and brush thor oughly. It makes the haf Wavy, glossy and lustrous.
 To have a fair and lovely skin. +s' the complexion clear and beautiful the face, neck and forearms should be massaged every morning with solu- tion made by dissolving small orig inal package of mayatone in a half pint witch hazel. Use this Instead of powder. It does not rub off nor show. Mayatone reduces large pores, eradi- cates dark and muddy spots, and leaves the skin smooth, soft and satinlike.
 Sometimes 8 sore may be slow in healing. In cases like this Mothers s Salve is good to use for 1t is antiseptic as well as healing and tends to pre- went blood poisoning.

About three o'clock I again awakened. I noticed that the boat was stopped. went to the deck. The Carpathia had changed her course, Lifeboats were sighted and began to arrive and soon one by one. they drew up to our side. There were sixteen in all and the transferring of the passengers was most pitiable. The adults were as- sisted in climbing the rope ladders by ropes adjusted to their waists. The little children and babies were hoisted to the deck in bags. Some of the boats were crowded, a few were not half full This ] could not understand, Some people were in evening dress, others in their night clothes ana wrap ped in blankets.
 Those with immigrants in ak sorts of shapes, were hurried into the, sa- loOni indiscriminately for a hot br4ak- fast. They had been in the dpen boats four and five hours in the most biting air | ever experienced. There were husbands without wives, wives without husbands, parents without children and children without parents But there was no demonstration. No sobs-scarcely a word spoken They seemed Go be stunned Immediately after breakfast, divine service was held in the saloon
 One woman died in the lifeboat. three others died soon after reaching our deck-theT bodies were buried in the sea at five o'clock that afternoon. None Of the rescued had any cloth ing except what they had on, and re- lief committee was formed and our passengers contributed enough for their immediate needs.
 When her lifeboats pushed away from the steamer the steamer was bril- llantlE lighted, the band playing and the captain was standing on the bridge giving directions. The bow was well submerged and the keel rose high above the water
 Suddenly the boat seemed to break m two. The next moment everything dis appeared. Te survivors were so near they feared that the boats would be drawn into the vertex.

This latest book of Mr. Atkinson's, like all his others, teaches the way to a knowledge of self and self mastery in the most direct and ineligible man ner. To a persevering student it's value is simply inestimable, He tells how to train or cultivate the mental faculties, attention, perception, mem ory etc. One chapter is given to the subject Of the imagination, its impor- tance. uses and development. The feelings, emotions and passions come in for careful attention. "The Emo tions and Happiness" Is a distinctly helpful chapter, as are Will Training and "Win Tonic" the latter being made up of selections from the words of wise men in all ages.
 He shows that habits are the beaten path over which the will travels, and that the creation of new paths Instead of leaving it to the path of least resist anCe is the way to better the condi- tions of mind which create the condi- tions of life.

Don't Hide Them With VeiIy Remove
 Them With the New Drug.

An eminent skin specialist recently discovered a new drug. othine-double strength, which is so uniformly suc- cessful in removing freckles and giv- ing a clear, beautiful complexion that it .s sold by Lee & Osgood under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it fails.
 Don't hide your freckles under veil ; get an ounce of othine and remove them. Even the first nights use will show a wonderful improvement. some of the lighter freckles vanishing en- tirely. It is absolutely harmless, and cannot injure the most tender skin.
 Be sure to ask Lee & Osgood for the double strength othine; it is this that is sold on the money back guarantee.
