Alcohol In Pe-ru-na-
An Unjust Criticism

our teasing her, but is very stubborn.
She says that if she were to be sick in
tbs same way again she would GER
tainly get Peruna and take it, alcohol
or no alcohol. So you see if people will
persist in such foolishness there ought
to be law to prevent them"
| ventured to interpose a question.
you say the doctors could not cure
her. and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does 1t make to
you whether 1t was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?'
well, don't know that it makes any
difference, but it is deceiving the people
to give them alcohol even though it
does cure them" he said.
replied why, I cannot ex-
actly un derstand that. Alcohol
is drug, the same as qui-
nine or morphin. If alcohol cures
certain diseases where is the deception?
1 understand that the Peruna people
print on the label Of each bottle the
per cent. Of alcohol contained in Peru
ma. Each patient may read it, If he
pleases. I cannot see where there is
any deception"
well, I would not take Peruna,"
he persisted Now, was sick, had
stomach disease. A violent pain. that
would come on about an hour or two
after each meal. 1t grew worse and
worse I was also constipated. I con-
suited several doctors in our city about
my health. I went to see a prominent
specialist in New York City. paid out a
great deal Of money, but no help. One
time l was having a bad spell on the
froi
the next seat was a retired physician
with whom I had been acquainted. He
said to me- My friend, if you want to
get we'll I would advise you to take a
glass of lager beer before each meal. l
think that will cure you Having fol-
lowed the directions of several good
physicians without any assistance, l
thought I would try the beer. In
very short time I found it was helping
me, and / got entirely we'll My bowels
became regular and l had no more
pain. No more distress after meals.
Now, If my mother had used some
remedy like that it would be all right.
But to persist in using some secret
remedy like Peruna, L think it is out
rageous."
Again I ventured to ask some ques-
tons. asked: What do you sup
pose it was in the lager beer that eff
fected the cure?"
"Why. presume 1t was the stimulant
it contained. Yes, no doubt it was the
stimulant"
You know, Of course, that the slim
ulant in beer is alcohol, the same as in
wine or whiskey or any other alco-
hoic drink"
Eyes, have heard say that beer con-
tains about five per cent. Of alcohol.
THAT is correct" / replied you
took a bottle of beer before each meal,
did you?"
Yes
'1n doing 80 you were drinking a pint
Of five per cent. solution OF alcohol"

Governor Robinson or endeavoring to
hold onto it himself, stated he would
do whatever the best attorneys in the
state advised him he could do. This
is taken by many to mean Acting
Governor Oldham has been advised he
can hold the office for the ensuing two
years.
When asked if he would call spe-
ial election, Senator Futrell said:
Il most certainly WILL" was the
prompt reply, "the constitution of the
state provides that this election shall
be called, and if qualify under the
constitution as acting governor of the
state l shall certainly abide by its pro-
visions.
More than this, if l am called up
to assume the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of chief executive, l shall en-
deavor to meet the provisions of the
constitution squarely on all points and
administer the laws in the interest of
the people of the state and for the
general good"
Senator Futrell will not qualify as
president of the senate until next
Thursday, the day of adjournment of
the legislature.
1t was stated upon good authority
last night that Senator Futrell will
institute proceedings against Acting
Governor Oldham if necessary to OBJ
tain possession of the gubernatorial
office Thursday.
Senator Lundy nominated Senator
Futrell and Senator Ashley was nomi-
mated by Senator Covington. No 9TH
er names were presented. Following
is the roll call:
For Futrell-Ashley, CarlLee, Den

Little Rock, March 1.-THE first
cho following the resignation of Gov.
Joe T. Robinson Saturday and the in
tallation of his personal and political
friend, Senator w. X. Oldham, in the
vacant gubernatorial seat, was heard
in the senate chamber yesterday.
Amid scenes which were near riot,
the senate elected Senator j. NJ Flu
trell of Greene county, president pro
tenn of that body, which is the same as
Geutenant-g governor, over Senator
John C. Ashley of lizard county.
The friends of the retiring COVER
nor vigorously opposed the action,
while his opponents favored it. The
esolution electing Senator Futrell
was presented by Senator Lundy and
ruled out of order by Senator Calvert,
who was occupying the chair. On APP
peal from the decision of the chair

M'YAY SAVED
FROM GALLONS

Little Rock, March 13.-The third
white man in whom Jefferson county
is interested, in he shadow of the
gallows on conviction of murder, has
just been saved from death by the
mercy of the governor.
Governor Oldham on Wednesday
afternoon committed to life imprison-
A'ment the death sentence of John T.
McVay, who had been convicted of the
murder of J. T. Ethridge at Pine
Bluff by Sheriff Brewster and will be
transferred today to the state insane
asylum The Communication, as in the
case of w. C. Alexander, who had
been convicted of the murder of j. p.
Kelley, is based upon the undisputed
fact that he has become incurably in
sane since his conviction. Both of
these men had been granted several
respites, and finally it was decided
that the ends of justice would be bet
ter subserved by confirming them for
the rest of their natural lives in the
asylum.
The other man saved from the gal
lows is w. S. Rhea, whose sentence
was committed to life Imprisonment.
His friends are confident that in few
wears they win be able to secure his
full pardon.

FRAIL, SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Who'll
Letter to Mothers.

Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity We publish the following
letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: MY little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been fran and
sickly, and was a constant source Of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. l i'm
mediately noted an Improvement in
her health and appearance. | gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her l can truly
say it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties of
tonic iron, which are contained in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case where
It fails.

FUTRELL APPOINTS JETT.

Little Rock, March 14.-Acting
Governor J. M. Futrell late Thursday
made an addition to his cabinet by
appointing Eugene B. Jett, for many
years deputy secretary of state, and
for a number of years a major of the
Arkansas National Guard, as his pri-
vate secretary. Major Jett immedi-
ately pitched camp in the southwark
corner of the state capitol with the
Futrell cabinet.

ARKANSAS HAS
TWO GOVERNORS
FUTRELL TAKES THE OATH
BUT ACTING GOVERNOR OLD
HAM REFUSES TO RELIN-
QUISH OFFICE.

Little Rock March 14.-If the say
ing of Solomon is true, "a house divid-
ed against itself will fall" the roof of
the state capitol is due for tumble
before the end of the week, for be-
meath it today there are two seats of
government, and they are as far sep
arated as it is possible under the linz
its of the building. Acting Governor
Oldham holds forth in the quarters
which have been assigned to the gov
ernor in the northmOst corner of the
building, while Acting Governor Flu
trell has offices in the southwest cor
'ner, adjoining the senate chamber.
Both claimants to the office are sur
rounded by a retinue of legal talent
and followers.
Acting Governor J. M. Futrell,
president pro tenn of the senate, who
took the oath of office on Thursday
morning, Thursday afternoon made a
formal demand upon Acting Governor
Oldham, who took the oath of office
as governor Wednesday afternoon,
for the Office The demand was met
with a stony glare, a look of askance
and a point blank refusal In fact,
Acting Governor Futrell was almost
told to Ego to-"
Nothing daunting, Acting Govern
or withdrew from the office of Acting
Governor Oldham and established his
citadel upon the hill at the other end
of the building. No further commu-
nication was INDUCED in between the
claimants for the office, but both set
on foot legal proceedings to hold or
grab the office.
In his end of the building Acting
Governor Oldham consulted with his
attorneys and at the other end Act
ing Governor Futrell was surrounded
by an apparent majority of the SEN
ate. His chief advisors were Sena-
tors Lundy of Polk, Rodgers of Ben
ton and Miles of Pulaski.
Acting Governor Futrell is looking
after the real interests of the people
lof Arkansas, while attending to his
/ right for the office, for he has taken
the precaution to sign all appropria-
ton measures, even though they are
signed by Acting Governor Oldham,
in order to make them legal He did
this so that no question could come up
on them in the future. Acting Gov
ernor has further notified the enroll
ing committee of the house and sem
ate where he is to be found to sign
all bills which have been placed in
proper shape by them. He advised
the heads of these committees to
bring the bills to his Office if they are
to be legally signed.
The question of who is the proper
person to sign the bills will bring the
gubernatorial problem to an early So
luton, for it is a judicial question,
which will permit the supreme court
to pass upon it and some way will be
found to get the question into that
court Monday, or the week following,
so the question of who is governor
will not be long in being solved.
