BEAR SHOT IN TOWN
G.. j. Wheeler Got a Large One Mean
Home on Bible Hill


C.. J. Wheeler's team was the
main center of attraction in the viii
lage Thursday forenoon because
packed under the wagon seat with a
fine head showing at the rear, was a
large bear skin taken from a 800
pound bear Mr.. Wheeler had shot in
the woods above his house on
Bible Hill. Mr.. Wheeler first saw
the bear on Tuesday, May g. and
shot at him giving him a slight
wound. There were lots of wild tur-
nips on the hillside and knowing
the bears fondness for these Mr..
Wheeler kept watch for bruins re-
turn. A week ago last Monday
about five o'clock in the afternoon
he caught sight of him digging tur-
nips in a slight depression in the
woods. He could only see his back
about eight rods away and fired.
The bullet broke the animals back
and rendered him helpless although
he growled lively and began biting
his own feet in his rage. Mr.. Wheel
er fired three more shots into the
animal before he killed him. He
received $40 bounty from the state
besides whatever he realized from
the skin and meat.

This Interests Every Woman

A family doctor said recently that
women come to him thinking that
they have female trouble, but when
he treats them for their kidneys and
bladder, they soon recover. This is
worth knowing, and also that Foley
Kidney Pills are the best and safest
medicine at such times. You cannot
get better purer medicine for back
ache, weary dragged out feeling,
aching joints, irregular kidney and
bladder action and nervousness due
to kidney troubles. Try them. They
are tonic in action, quick in results.

ALFALFA AND HOGS
BY JOHN H. PAGE

In the mail today was letter from man in Nebraska. To the letter was pinned clipping from paper in California about this department and what we are trying to do in Arkan- sas. This Nebraska gentleman writes that he wants 36O acres of Arkansas land for himself and son, and that they purpose to raise alfalfa and hogs. Those are the kind of people to build up the state. Let us hope that more such men may be attracted to Arkan- sas and raise alfalfa and hogs.
 There is nothing that will beat this combination, except to add soy beans, cowpeas and Spanish peanuts. Every 40 acre farm in Arkansas will support large family in comfort and give them all the advantages of education, etc, if utilized in growing these crops and hogs, and milch cows to consume them. Try a few hogs, and a few acres of alfalfa, soy beans and cow peas and peanuts. You will be con vinced.
 Speaking of hogs reminds us that now is the time to begin to look after them. The hot weather is here, and they need shade and pure water. Start

HAYS REPUDIATES

BUT HOLDS HIS LINEUP
FORCES USE DESCRIBED TIED MACHINE, BUT RE
 NOUNCE ENGINEER.

1 Little Rock. June 16.-It is strange
 how a short time will change the po-
 litical belief and utterances of poli-
 ticians. Less than year ago polilti-
 cal ring leaders in Little Rock were
 shouting their heads off, telling of the greatness of the rising young politi-
 clan, Joe T. Robinson. Less than six
 months ago they were raising the roof with their tumultuous shouts for Joe | T. Robinson, the former friend of the
 "deer pepul," who should go to the
 United States senate without a chance for the aforesaid "deer pepul" to say aye or nay.
 Now a change has come over these same politicians. They want the soft pedal placed on the very whispering of his name in connection with Arkan- sas politics. It was intimated that Joe T. Robinson, United States sena- tor, was coming back to Arkansas to stump the state for Geo. w. Hays and immediately there went up protest greater than the wailing of the chil- ldren in the wilderness. They said it would "hurt Hays chances" They de- Iclared that Joe T. was keeping his hands strictly off the race and to those who happen still to have politi- !cal friendship for the senator, and where they thought it would do no harm-in sort of sotto voice, it was added, ESQ far as the public knows"
 It is amusing to those who study Arkansas politics, but who do not play the game, to see Judge Walls of Lon- oke county, kinsman of Senator Rob- inson, his candidate for the United States marshalship of the eastern dis trict, and his campaign manager for governor and the senate; T. P. Mur- rey, another of the campaign mana gers of the twin campaign, and ap- pointed by Governor Robinson as a member of the board of penitentiary commissioners; R. P. Allen, an advis- CT in the senatorial campaign and a candidate for United States marshal from the western district; State Sen- ator Harry Harris, a Robinson leader in the senate, and administration can- didate for president pro tenn of that body; and other we'll known Robinson leaders, who are still known to be in the Robinson ranks, with their hands on the helm of the Hays campaign, and still claim that Robinson is not interesting himself in the interest of the candidate whose cause they es- pouse.
 The "deer pepur can see the inner workings.

BABY LOVES zEmO
 FOR SKIN TROUBLES Cures itching at once. Stops lrritaed, chapped,,hands.

Try one application of ZEMO on the baby, and see the poor little fel. low jubilate with his toes, and chuckle. If he could only talk, he'd thank you for the heavenly relief. ZEMO is guaranteed to stop itching immediately or money is refunded.
 For rash, letter, and all the skin tortures that babies suffer, ZEMO has no equal.
 For the skin troubles that men and women suffer, for all the itching, raw, scorching eczema, dandruff, infamed or reddened skin, it has proven it's as. tonishing results in thousands of cases. The immediate relief it gives is almost heavenly. ZEMO is a clean, antiseptic solution applied to the skin; no oily paste or ointment.
 My feet would scald and crack in. to the blood. Could hardly walk. Tried one bottle of ZEMO, 25c, and it cured them" F. W. Flowers, Jeweler, Oak dale, Va.

CORN IS SUFFERING
 FROM LACK OF RAIN
COTTON IS HEALTHY, BUT GROWING SLOWLY-RAIN
 BADLY NEEDED.

According to the correspondents of the Weekly Log Cabin Democrat, corn in most sections of the county is begin. ming to suffer for rain, and unless the drouth is broken by the end of this week the crop will be seriously damag. ed. Scattered showers fell in a num- Der of places about 10 days ago, but some parts of the county have had no good rains for two months.
 Cotton is reported to be healthy, but growing slowly on account of cool night and dry weather. Everywhere, however, the crops are said to be clean and in the best state of cultiva. tion ever known for the time of year. A good "season" of rain now would practically insure a splendid yield of early corn and would be of much bene fit to cotton.

MINISTER e MMfNDS
 STEPHEN BRUNDIDCf
)R. JOHN H. DYE OF SEARCY WRITES OF WHITE COUNTY
 CITIZEN.

In a communication to the Lonoke Democrat, Dr. John H. Dye, promi nent Methodist minister of Searcy strongly comments the candidacy o1 Stephen Brundidge for governor. He writes as follows:
 Editor Democrat have personally known White county's most populai and most distinguished citizen, Hon Stephen Brundidge, from his young manhood. I also had the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with his ''highly-respected father and mother With hosts of friends, have observed with pride and pleasure the rising tide of his growing popularity and useful ness both in the state and nation It lis claimed by his friends and conceded by his enemies that Arkansas has nev- CT had an abler representative in the national congress. And as prosecut- ing attorney, he had but few equals and no superiors. He is fully as force full and convincing and as pleasing and persuasive as an advocate, as he is effective as prosecutor. His bril- liant career as statesman, his emi- hence as an exponent of constitutional law, his high character, his imperial intellect, his dauntless courage and his utter adherence of machine politics have combined to make him the favo- rite of the people.
 "On important occasions, political educational or religious, Presbyterian synods, Methodist conferences or Bap- tist associations, our gifted friend and eagle orator, Judge Brundidge, is cas- lily Searcy's first choice to welcome hel distinguished guests. He was their spokesman when Wm. J. Bryan and Bishop Hendrix were here last.
 { Ut is safe prediction that the wis dom of his administration will be am pie justification of the overwhelming majority his friends confidently claim the people will poll for him in the ap- preaching election.

ANTI-PEDDLINC LAW
 HAS OPPOSITE EFFECT
FOREIGN CONCERNS FREE, BUT
 LOCAL FIRMS HAVE TO PAY S2O0 LICENSE.

fron' Fridays Daily.
 The recent decision of the United States supreme court in the Arkansas law requiring license to be paid for peddling articles for sale, has caused the act to have an effect directly op- posite to that intended by it's framers. The act was passed for the purpose of limiting or suppressing the sale through the country of buggies, ranges, sewing machines and other similar commodities, by foreign or itinerant peddlers. Arrests for viola tion of the law were made in several counties, three being indicted for it's violation in Faulkner county, but the Spaulding Buggy Co. of Grinnell, Ia., which makes it's sales largely by ped ding it's buggies through the country, resisted the law.
 The Arkansas supreme court upheld the consttutionality of the act, but it was appealed to the United States su- preme court, which recently handed down a decision that the law is in ef feet burden on interstate commerce and could not be enforced against citi- zens or corporations of another state.
 The result of the two decisions is that the law is in effect in Arkansas so far as citizens of the state are con- cerned, but is ineffective against cit zens of other states.
 In order to comply with the law and at the same time dispose of their mer chandise in the county through travel ing salesmen, Frauenthal & Schwarz of this city have just paid into the Faulkner county treasury $2OO as li- cense fee to do business in this man. her. The tax paid by them is the first ever collected in the county for the purpose.

TO APPEAL FULK'S
 LIQUOR DECISION
MAY YCOTOfEDERALCOURT
PULASKI JUDGE RULES ACT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE
 REFERENDUM

1 Little Rock, June 16.--Tnough fed eral questions are involved in the sen
 ate bill which wiN make Arkansas dry if upheld by the courts, the liquor men
 claim it will not be necessary for them to resort to the United States court, in spite of the decision of Judge Guy
 Fulk, rendered Saturday. Judge Fulk declined to issue a writ of mandamus
 forcing Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges to submit the bill to the voters of the state under the initiative and referendum, as asked for by the liquor dealers.
 Those who are fighting the bill, and endeavoring to have it left to the peo- pie, declare that if the supreme court sustains the decision of Judge Fulk of the second division of the Pulaski circuit court, it will destroy the pur- poses of the initiative and referen- dunn amendment They claim that if the legislature can set specific date for bill to become effective, and thus rob the people of the right of refer endum on the bill, they have made the constitutional amendment thing of no value. The supreme court has all ready sustained the legality of the initiative and referendum, so the legal question involved is pretty one.
