Craighead's Big Debt.

The financial statement of Craighead county appears in
 today's Tribune and should be
 of interest to all taxpayers. Ac-
 cording to the statement the county now owes a total of S106,-
 808.26, and the total amount of
 scrip outstanding at present is
 $40,418.78. The total indebt-
 edness includes the balance of
 $39, ,000 on the Lake City bridge,
 which is being paid for at the
 rate of $13,000 a year for five
 years, two payments having al- ready been made. While the statement shows that the county owes $106,S08.26, it must be remembered that this $39,000 will not all be due until the end of three years and there is 27,380.4s in county scrip now in the treasurer's hands which was paid in last month by the sheriff in his tax settlement, which will be cancelled at the first meeting of the board. Hence $40,418.78 now represents the total amount of scrip that is on the market at this time, and considering the improvements that have been secured in an e. conomical way, this statement shows the county to be in fairly good shape and the debt being gradually cut down.-Jonesboro Tribune.

My Opinion, Of War.

have read so much war news the last few days, especially to- day, by coaching my imagina- tion a little I can smell the smoke from the burned powder, and hear the roar of the ma- chine guns, and see the life blood gurgling from the bodies of ignorant men. What a shame! What for? What for?
 What is to be gained by the great common people?
 The German Emperor wants to be a Napoleon and is willing to make any sacrifice, except one that might affect him per sonally, to gain his military prominence.
 ] The situation is too horrible to think of. o civilization, is it not shamel If I could be the ruler of this world for five minutes I would have all this foolishness cut out. Civiliza- tion. That word has been in timately associated with peace in the dictionary so long that has caused our language to lose confidence in its own hon. esty.
 ] Let Us do away with the war implements and have heaven on earth; not hell on earth. The Lord says Peace on Earth" but I have travelled around the best part of the globe, and I cannot see where peace on earth comes in. Everyone is carrying g gun of some kind for the pur- pose of taking human life Why even the parents raised thei1 children up with gun in theil hands; so where does religion come in.

Had Arkansas twenty years ago adopted the Municipal Bond Amendment which is now being submitted to the voters of the state, the property owners of Black Rock, Lawrence county, would today be- $1, 100000 bet ter off. They would have that sum of money to spend in inn provements, and by so doing, it would have been possible to more than double the popula- tion of the little city. It is esti- mated by leading citizens of that town that S1, 100000 worth of property has been destroyed there in ten years by fire. Most of this would have been saved if the town had even the crudest sort of water system, for all fires were discovered before gaining much headway, and a little water would have eXtin- guished the blaze. For this req son the people of Black Rock are working hard for the bond amendment. Black Rock is on Black River, and it will furnish excellent water for drinking purposes. The Bond Amend ment and no more fires, is the policy adopted by the business men of Black Rock.

Another Wreck On M. X N. A

Leslie, Aug, 13.-Ten people were injured yesterday after noon at 4:15 o'clock when pas senger car on train No. 1 on the Missouri and North Arkansas overturned near Elba, and eight miles from Leslie. The baggage and combination cars were de- railed, but the engine and Pull man car remained on the track.
 A special train carrying phy- sicians was rushed to the seer from Heber Springs, but on their arrival they found that none of the injuries was serious. The Pullman conductor, whose name could not be ascertained, was said to be more badly hurt than the others.
 The others injured are as fol- lows: Mrs. C. A. Moorer, Greenwood, Miss; Mrs. Ar mand, Elba; A. D. McRaven, Little Rock; R. L. Pierce, Ark burg; Lloyd Wright, Eureka Springs; w. w. Lamb, Roches- ter, N. Y.; J. P. Heaton, Imbo- den, and Mrs. Ollie Valentine, Leslie.

Contemptible Attack On Ma lOney.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, August 13. =
 Yellow cards attacking the
 Democratic party of Arkansas because the state convention
 saw fit to choose J. $. Maloney,
 a Catholic, for the secretary of the State Committee, are being
 circulated over the state. They are the product of a Socialist with rabid Anti-Catholic ten dencies. The writer does not tell the people that Jack Ma loney is one of the most cour- teous, most efficient, and most popular young men of Little Rock. He does not tell them that the people of Pulaski coun- ty deem it great privilege to give Jack Maloney anything in the way of an office that he wants. He does not say that Jack Maloney. is a character held in the highest esteem, by man, woman and child, and that he is every ones friend.
 It is true that Jack Maloney is Catholic, but heretofore this has never been considered a po- litical barrier, or has politics been considered a matter of re- ligion. This attack will make his friends even more strong for him, and it will at the same time solidify the party against Socialistic attack. Jack Maloney has ignored the yellow cards, but because of their circulation he is taking less of a prominent part in directing the state can- paign than he would otherwise have done. This too, is a. gainst the advice of his many friends, but it only goes to show the disposition of the man-he would rather sacrifice himself than the party.

WISHED SHE
 COULD DIE And Be Free From Her Troubles, but Finds Better Way.

Columbia, Tenn. .-"Many a time" says Mrs. Jessie Sharp. of this place, "l wished I would die and be relieved of my suffering, from womanly troubles. l could not get lip, without pulling at something to help me, and stayed in bed most of the time. l could not do my houSework.
 The least amount of work fired me out. My head would swim, and would remble for an hour or more. Finally, look Cardui, the Woman's tonic. and I am not bothered with pains any more. and don't have 10 go 10 bed. In fact. ] am sound and well of all my troubles"
 Cardui goes 10 all the weak spots and helps to make them strong. It acts with nature-not against her. It is for the tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel as if everything were wrong, and need something to quiet their nerves and strengthen the worn-out system.
 If you are woman, suffering from any of the numerous symptoms of womanly trouble, take Cardui. It will help you. At all druggists.

Amendmen.s No II and 16, those providing for the bond issue and creating lieutenant governor have been given a majority of the votes cast on those subjects.

 The majority fer Amendment No IA, is 14.341, while that given Amend ment No. 16 is only 1866.
