Reckless Boys With Matches.

A lady who is deeply interested in preventing fires in the town, as every citizen should be, calls the attention of The Tribune editor to the need of some regulation concerning boys handling matches, as that is undoubtedly a source of some of the worst fires ex- perienced in every town.
 A few evenings ago she says she saw small boy pass along in front of Sherman Buel's mill and strike two matches and drop them on the walk bo the wall as they began to blaze Of course, it was an act of carelessness but great fire might have been the result.
 Not many days ago residence cam e nearly being burned by a boy who threw a match where it caught broom on the porch after lighting a cigarette.
 Our friend asks why the parents dy not look after such acts of their children. It may be your boy, who is endangering the property of the community. She would like to know if some measure could not be adopted by the council, looking to the better protection against fires, and especially the handling of the deadly match by thoughtless boys.

Not Wise to
 Take Calomel

Dodson's Liver Tone is just as sure in results and always safe, pleasant in taste and has no bad after-effects. As remedy for torpid liver calomel has more than met it's match in Dod- sons Liver Tone This medicine does not roughly force the liver on to per form its work. It acts gently but surely.
 ,Calomel depends for its power up- on exciting the liver to do more work, and often the liver is too weak to stand such treatment, and after talk ing calomel you are as result some times worse off than before.
 Dodson's Liver Tone cannot cause any of the dangerous effects that often follow the use of calomel. It is entirely vegetable and pleasant to the taste, and is suitable for children and grown people.
 Get large bottle for fifty cents at Shaffer's Drug Store under the guarantee that if it doesn't perfectly satisfy you that it takes the place of calomel you will be given your money back with smile right at the store where you bought Dodson's medicine.

F. o. Butt for Attorney General.


 A story is going the rounds of the state press like this:
 Just about the time when it seemed to be apparent that X. O. Pindall, formerly acting governor, and twice defeated candidate for the office of attorney general, was to be allowed the honor of again being a candidate, and this time without op- position, an entry from far Nothwest Arkansa is heard from. Reports from Eureka Springs and Green Forest an nounce that Festus o. Butt will be a candidate for the office, and will shortly make his announcement.
 Festus o. Butt is well known over the state of Arkansas. He has served as member of the legislature. and figured in bribery scandal there. Those who followed the case knew he was a mere victim of circu instances, and only technically guilty. He re- turned to his home in Eureka Springs, and found the people there stronger for him than ever. He has filled many places of trust since, and is often spoken of as the most popular and capable person in that section of Ark. ansas. He recently organized bank at Green Forest and is at the head of the institution. MT. Butt is ar orator of ability, and if he finally de cides to enter the race, he will give g good account of himself"

The retail store as, way station in the channels of trade is an indis- pensable factor in perpetuating the commercial life of community. With the destruction of the commercial life of the central town or city of a com munity all other forms of social life must cease to exist because they all depend upon commerce and trade. For this reason the citizens needs the town fully as much as the town needs the citizens. Let him not suppose that in the few packages he carries home from the local store are con tained all things he receives for the money he passes over the counters of the local merchants. Substantially all the comforts and conveniences of modern civilized society are passed out to him in return for his patron izing his home merchants The sur est way to deprive himself of those facilities and environments that make life worth living is to withdraw his patronage from the local town.

Says He Killed Brakeman Thomasor

Charles w. Whelpley, aged 19, who formerly resided at Harrison, surredered himself to the police of Kansas City one day last week, stating that it is he who is responsible for the death of Lee Thomson, the brakeman who was supposed to have been killed by accident by falling from an M. & N. A. freight train about the middle of last March.
 According to Whelpley's story, Thomson undertook to put him off the train as it was pulling out of Everton and in the fight which followed he hit Thomson on the head with an iron pin and his victim fell from the car in manner that the train ran over his body. Stricken by a guilty conscience, Whelpley was led to con- fess that the truth may be known, and that suitable punishment may be meted out to him for his deed.
 Ben Rowland of Harrison passed through for Harrison Monday with Whelpley a prisoner, taking him to Harrison, where his case will be given a hearing in circuit court which is now in session.
 The confession of Whelpley came as a great surprise as no one had suspected otherwise than that Thomson death had been accidental. The coroner's jury had found no other evidence in it's investigation and its finding was accordingly
