REMEMBER YOUR LAST
 DOSE OF CALOMEL? i?

You probably recall the bad af- ter-effects of the calomel more than the sickness you took 1t for. You need never again go through with being "all knocked out for a day or two by calomel.' ;
 Next time your liver gets slug gish and inactive, we urge that you go to the Newark Drug Co. for a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, a splendid vegetable liquid medicine that will start your liver as surely as calomel ever did and with none of the after-effects of calomel. It is absolutely harmless both to children and adults and demands no restriction of habits or diet.
 A large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone costs only fifty cents and the druggist who sells it guarantee it to take the place of calomel, and will refund your money If 1t fails in your case or if you are not sat- isfed. Adv.

DON'T BE THROWED OFF
BY ". P. DETHEROW

On the eve of the 1912 election there was a report in the county papers to the effect that the So- c,alists and Republicans had fused to beat the Democrats. This was a falsehood put out to z | you to vote her straight. The same re- port may be published again. and again say 1t IS false. If there be any fusion at all it will be between the Democratic, Republican and Socialist working men, for the purpose of electing working men to serve them.
 You will be asked to vote her straight for all men on the ticket, good or bad, no matter whether the people nominated them or whether the little bunch give 1t to them; no matter whether he be a friend to your children or lobby ist against them; no matter if you have to break the pledge you made to your wife when you were united in marriage.
 They will tell you if you are a good Democrat you will swallow 1t all. want to call your attention to the fact that 1 have made a thorough campaign. No one has tried to attack my issues. MT. Dowdy started one story on me but had to take backwater. If he comes out on the eve of the cleo ton you may know why he has waited so late. Advertisement

 Be it ordained by the Town Council of Newark, Arkansas:
 Section l. That 1t shall be un- lawful for any person owning, keeping or harboring any animal of the dog kind, to suffer or per nit such animal to run at large within the Town of Newark, with out first having obtained a license therefor, as hereinafter provided, and any person violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor and upon conviction shall be fined as hereinafter pro vided.

MONEY FOR EDUCATION?

Like all the educational institu-
tions of the state, the agricultural
college finds itself hampered by lack
of funds. Appropriations, small
enough in themselves, are blithely
made by the legislatures, but when
the time for payment comes the exc
cutive officials can only plead that
the state is without funds. II is idle
perhaps to talk of causes, when the
fact stands out so boldly. If we say
that petty politics are at the bottom
of this condition, we shall be accus-
ed ourselves of having political mot
ives. If We say that Useless, ill
advised and even maliciol rs strike is
retarding the development of our ed
ucational system by placing upon
the state a burden of debt which must
be met in all honor before improve
ments of any kind can be undertake
en-, we shall be accused of hostility
toward the working man.
But whatever the cause, the state
is being gravely hampered in its eff
forts to provide education for the
children of workingmen, business men
and capitalists alike. 1t is situa-
ticn which demands the careful, at
tention of IL classes, for there is ad-
mittedly no activity in which the
state is engaged that is of greater
Importance than the education of the
youth.
1t is to the credit of the officers
of the agricul- dral college that in
spite of all difficulties, thr school is
doing greatly improved aolk. We
have it on the authority OF President
Lory that the registraticr is now
more than twice what it was four
years ago and that because of the
Inon-payment of special appropria-
tions, the income of the institution is
less than it was four years ago. Thus
again do we find an example of the
manner in which teachers through all
the ages have been obliged to make
shift under anything but favorable
circumstances.
1t is now about time that the peo-
pie of Colorado should change the
method and supply the educators
with the funds to make our state in
stitutions the best in the country?-

Interesting figures showing tn

Interesting figures showing that
while every man has an ambition
to become well-to-do less than per
cent of the business men Of the coun-
try succeed, have been prepared by
Topeka statisticians. Some of the fig
ures show a remarkably low amount
left in estates. Over 80 per cent of the
estates settled in the probate court of
Boston are insolvent, while out of 49,
900 persons who died in Philadelphia
last year, 1896 left no property, and
there were many estates that ranged
from over $50 to $1,000. In Pitts
burg for the period of five years the
average death rate was 5,l64 men a
year. Out of this number 1889 left no
estate at all. OF the balance SOB left
from $500 to $4,000; rs left between
$4,000 and $4,000; and only 81 each
year left more than $4,000 to heirs.
A review of the property records is
35 counties in the state of New York
shows that 66 per cent of the men
who died left no estates. There was
25 per cent. who left estates of not
more than $1,000, while only nine per
cent left estates of $4,000 or more.
Only one man in twenty, therefore
is able to accumulate enough prop
erty to leave his family competen-
ce when he dies. Life insurance
saved some of the dependents, but in
too many cases no insurance was
carried and all that was left was a
memory and the hard grill of work
necessary on the part of the children
to provide the necessaries Of life.

from 43 gal in 1868 to 203 gal in

we assume the increase in the future
at half the rate of the past, we will
have in 1850 a per capita consump-

Tuesday afternoon, at O'Clock. AT
midnight the foreman of the iurv re-

that District Attorney Lane deeme
it advisable that the case be dismis..

the court.
In setting forth his reasons for 50
doing the district attorney says:
"The matter has already been tr,eJ
before one jury which has been un-
able to agree and l do not think that
better jury could be found in The
county. In securing this jury, pan
els amounting to about fifty ma,
have been exhausted. Since the COM
mencement of the trial the merits
and dement's of the matters In con-
troversy therein have been the main
topic of discussion all over the cour-
ty. For these reasons it would be
difficult if not impossible to get an
other qualified jury, and if this were
possible 1 have no reason 10 expect
any better results than those already
obtained. 1t must be remembered
that twelve men must be brought In

With the feeling so sharply divided
and so intense as it is in the county

CORRECTION FARM
VERSUS THE JAIL

Eight years ago Cleveland had the
courage to try sweeping experiment
in the care of its dependents. The
undertaking was much more venture
some to that time than it would be
considered now. The city transferred
all its penal and charitable wards
as well as those in sanatariums, to
a farm of 1000 acres 10 miles dis
tant. And when it got them there it
proceeded to put into effect a system
of mutual self help combined with ju-
dicious segregation, and having re-
covery to usefulness to society as the
object. The experiment is pronoun-
ced by capable obververs to be no
table success Whether it is so in
every respect, and whether results
obtained there are applicable to con
ditions confronting Baltimore and
Maryland at present, can be deter
mined only by comparative study. But
at least Cleveland has demonstrated
that there is great deal more than
theory to that kind of system. Its
old workhouse and infirmary buildings
have been sold, and our hustling west
ern rival has shown enough faith in
its own plan to invest $256,000 in
the farm and S750,000 in improve
ments, from which the money received
from the sale of the deserted insti-
tutions must be deducted as an off
set. 1t is not surprising in the light
of experiences elsewhere to learn
that prisoner at the Cleveland farm
seldom attempts to run away, and
that only Is per cent of those paroled
are ever sent back. This is the best
evidence that in helping prisoner
a community is really helping itself.

While it is generally conceded that
the Democrats will lose some seats
in the national house of representa-
tives in the elections to be held this
fall, many figure they will gain some
seats in the senate. The terms of
seventeen Republican senators expire
on March l, 1915, and their successors
are to be elected by popular vote next
fall. The Democrats are counting on
electing Bradley, of Kentucky; they
belive it is possible to elect a Demo
crat to succeed Frank B. Brandegee,
of Connecticut, and they have great
hope that Democrat will be lected
in Kansas as the successor of Mr.
Bristow. There is also possibility,
so the Democratic leaders say, of
succeeding in choosing Democrat
to succeed Elihu Root, of New York,
and also a chance in Wisconsin.

"While some planters have ground up

stubble, as a preliminary to going
out of sugar cultivation, the great ma
jority have saved seed as usual, and
fairly good crop will be planted for
1914. What will follow after that

is useless for the public utilities com
missioners to say the present water
plant can be duplicated for $S,0O0,-
900, or that equally as good water
sources can be secured. The way to do
is to fix water rates equally just
to the company and the consumer.
If this cannot be done call in outside

and its franchises.
