While Drunk a Watchman Killed
 Powder Mill Superintendent.

Columbus, Kas., Feb. i9.-William Durkee, superintendent of the Du- pont powder works at Turck, was shot and killed last night by Slim" Patterson, night watchman.

Believes It Old Story.

London, Feb. 21.-The story of a three days battle at Bulair, in which 3,500 men on each side were reported killed or wounded, con- tained in a dispatch received here today, is now believed to be re- vival of an old report of the fight ing in that district. Rumors that Enver Bey had landed a large force at Rodosto were current on Febru- ary t6, but since have been denied.
 An uncensored Constantinople dispatch says that Schefket Pasha visited the Bulair lines Wednesday, but has given no indication that a new battle has been fought.
 The situation at Adrianople re- mains unchanged. The porte have Ing refused to permit foreigners to leave Adrianople, the governor of the fortress has offered to set apart the Karagatch quarter on the right bank of the Maritza river as a sanctuary for the 400 foreign resi- dents. It is doubtful, however, if Bulgaria will consent to this.
 The Servians have brought up heavy artillery to assist the Monte negrins in a renewed attack on Scutari. M. Popovitch, the Monte negrin delegates in London, visited the foreign office today and in- formed the British government that under no circumstances could Mon tenegro acquiesce in any transac- ti0n under which she would be re- quired to abandon her claim to Scu- tari. He added that Montenegro would take the town soon, and after the sacrifices made would suffer annihilation rather than give it up.

TRAIN RAN PAST FAMILY.

Paragould, Feb. 23.-W. w. Randy, a local attorney, has filed r dam age suits against the Iron Noun tain for failing to stop a local freight train at Apt, a small station 24 miles south of Paragould, and take on some household goods and the family of man named Brooks. It is alleged that the members of the family, numbering eight, waited 24 hours in the open weather for another local freight, which stopped the next night. After boarding the train it is alleged the conductor re- quired the members of the family to pay 70 cents fare, when he should have charged them only 67 cents. Separate suits were filed for each member of the family. Similar ac- tions were taken in reference to Ben Baxter, who had his household goods on the right of way at Apt on the same night the Brooks family had theirs.

 Returns to Washington.

Honolulu, Feb. 2i.-Rear Admiral w. c. Cowles, commandant of the United States naval station here, relinquished his command today. He became commander of the Honolulu naval station December t4, 1910, and has been closely iden- tified with the important naval work which is going on in Pearl Harbor, many preliminary details of the great naval project having been carried out by him. The drydock, coaling plant, barracks and indus trial buildings are now well on the road to completion, and within an other year the commandant and other officers stationed in Hawaii will be living at Pearl Harbor and the yard will be in partial opera ton.
 'I am sorry to leave Honolulu" said the rear admiral.

By George, 1 never saw anything like the effects of that new treat ment, Bloodine, for the building up of weight and lost nerve force. It acted more like a miracle than a medicine,n said well-known gen. tleman yesterday in speaking of the revolution that had taken place in his condition. T began to think that there was nothing on earth that could make me fat. l tried tonics, digestive, heavy, eating, diets, milk, beer and almost every thing else you could think of, but without result"
 Any man or woman who is thin can recover normal weight by the remarkable new treatment, Blood inc. q have been thin for years, and began to think it was natural for me to be that way. Finally read about the remarkable pro- cesses brought about by the use of Bloodine, so I decided to try it my self. We'll, when I look at myself in the mirrow now, l think it is somebody else. have put on just 10 pounds during the last 10 days, and never felt stronger or more 'nervy' in my life
 Bloodine is powerful inducer to nutrition, increases cell-growth, makes perfect the assimilation of food, increases the number of blood corpuscles and as a necessary result builds up muscles and solid, healthy flesh, and rounds out the figure.
 For women who can never ap- pear stylish in anything they wear because of their thinness. this re- markable treatment may prove a revelation. It is a beauty maker as we'll as form builder and nerve strengthener. Bloodine costs 30 cents for the usual Si.00 size bot ties. Mail orders filled by the BIoodine Corporation, Boston, Mass.

Old Ane.

Old age, as it comes in the order ly process of nature, is a beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, knowledge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, a sluggish liver and general feeling of ill health, despondency and mis- cry. This in almost every instance is wholly unnecessary. One of Chambelrain's Tablets taken imme- diately after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by all dealers.

FOREST FIRES ARE RAGING.

Ft. Smith, Feb. 23.-Forest fires have been burning all over Baxter county last week, according to ad- vices received here from Mountain Home. The flames are reaching as far north as south central Missouri and the entire country is covered with a smoky haze.
 One residence at Oakland was de- stroyed yesterday. Although the damage so far has been compara- lively small, it is feared that it will grow to serious proportions should the fires continue. Tn and around Cotter timber men are expecting a heavy loss on lumber.
