Gas In The Stomach
 Is Dangerous
Warming of Acid Indigestion. Prompt Use of Magnesia stops
 All S0urneSs aud Pain.

Sufferers rom indigestion or dys- pcpaia should remember that tae presence of gas CT wind in the stom- ach invariably indicates that the stomach is troubled by excessive acld- ity.
 This acid causes the food to fer ment and the fermenting food in turn gives rise to noxious gases which ,,istend the stomach, hamper the normal functions of vital internal organs, cause acute headaches, inter- fere wi h the action of the heart, and charge the blood stream with deadly poisons, which in time must ruin the health. Physicians say that to quick ly dispel a dangerous accumulation of wind in the stomach and to stop the food fermentation which creates the gas, the acid in the stomach must be neutralizcd and that for this pur- pose there Is nothing quite so good as teaspconful of pure bisurated mag nesia taken in little water immedl- ately after meals. This instantly neutralizes the acid, thus stopping fermentation and the formation of gas, and enables the inflamed, dis tended stomach to prOce ad, with it's work under natural conditions Bisu- rated magnesia is obtainable in pow der Q. rtablets from any druggist; but as there arg mony different forms of magnesia it is important that the bisurated which the physicians pre- scribe should be distinctly. asked for.

LIBRARY COMMITTEE
 PLANS NEW ACTIVITIES
From Oct. III t. 1G to be 'Teachers' Week" at Library-Dr. Jasin
 Offers to Help Students.

The executive committee of the library association met in regular session yesterday afternoon, and
 there was mass of routine business handled and considered. The mem bers of the executive committee were
 most enthusiastic over the continued growth of the library, and especially
 over the rapid increase in the num- Der of volumes on the shelves.
 Rabbi Joseph Jasin, who has been one of the indafatigable workers of the library, volunteered to spend practically all of each Wednesday afternoon at the library, to assist
 adults and school children in making
 use and getting the benefits of the big reference library. The offer was accepted with expressions of ap- preciation and thanks.
 The reference library is easily one of the two largest and best in the state of Arkansas, and there is such J. narrow margin between the reference
 library here and that at Little Rock, that it appears difficult to sap pre- cisely which is the Header" It IS
 the plan of the library organization to have the preachers, teachers,
 school children and other men, wo-
 men and children, of the city, to make
 free use of the reference volumes,
 which cover almost every conceivable
 subject, and which are now excellent
 ly arranged for use.
 Next week will be teachers week"
 at the library and arrange ements are
 heinz made tc let every teacher in the
 city know that she is heartily wel-
 come to the library and its hundreds oCf reference books. Special arrange
 ments for showing the teachers why
 the library possesses many advan- tages for them, are being made by the officers of the library association.

NEW LEGISLATION
 NOT NECESSARY IN
 BRIDGE MATTER
No Formal Offer Made, But Commission Ready for Months to Make Transfer.

Dev lcpmen S yesterday in tn
 bridge controv rsy nl to show that
 the article in Wednesdays issu9 Of
 The Graphic, relativ te the transfer ct the county of the bridge, contain 1 6. vcral erroneous st- ements. For instance, it is declared that tn bridge commission is not "self-p-rpe, ua1- :
 ing bo5y," but that tha act creating the distric shows that upon tAa eX-
 pirsticn annually of the term of Of fices of one commission r, his sue cessor is appointed by the county judge. not by the commissioners. The | Commissioners fill any vacancy
 caused by resignation q dcath. It is also stated that he commis-
 sicn has not mad on offer to turn
 the affairs of the district over to tho
 county: Chat no such ac in has been ] taken by the commission, but that
 the commissioners have the matter
 under consideration, and th3t it ia probabl they will meet County ,ju1g g. Philpct at an early date to discuss the mattsr. The act creating the dis trict enables the county to acquire the bridge without further legislation a l claus reading:
 Authority is hereby conferred upon
 the county court of Jeff rson county to take over and acquire the bridge. the construction of which is herein
 provided for, upon such terms as may
 be agreed upon 9s to it's futur2 main tenonca by said cour.. and the board Of directors herein created, or their successors in CffiCo.'
 Fr~m tha commissioners it is learn ed that there has never been a time since the completion of the bridge when they were not willing to turn
 the bridge over to tha county. The bridge commissioners assert thst the statement to the eff;ct that the salaries of the secretary, treasurer,
 and b -cAkeeper amount 10 $150 per month is erroneous; that the total eX- pense Of these items of the district sinc2 the completion of the bridge is only $75 per month, all of which goes tc he assistant secr3tary. It is point cd out that if the work of making up the tax books of the district should
 be assumed by the county clerk. it would probably be necessary for him i to employ ancther deputy to do the work. so that there would really be
 no saving to the people On this item
 Of expense.
 The Graphic is also assured that the commission is net paying salaries to attorneys or engineers.
 HeaIn Discusses Transfer.
 The statement that the commission
 had offered to turn the bridge over to the county was based on a conver-
 sation between w. D. Hearn, a mem
 Der of the commission, and County Judge Philpot in which Mr. Hearn
 suggested that the county take over
 the bridge explaining that the com
 missioners were anxious to turn it over to the county.

A PRETTY BROCK IN oNE-pIEcE STYLE.

Here is d very pretty, charming httlo frock, which at the same time is the simplest that could be devised. There is belt arranged at the low waist line which gives the suggestion of q separate skirt, but in reality the dress is cut in one from the yoke to the lower edge, simply shirrcd where the belt is arranged and as a result it is very simple gar sleeves being cut in one piece, there arc no arm-hole seams and there IS no ht- ting of the sleeves. In the picture, the dress is made from one of the new einghamS in shades of blue with trim- ming of white linen. It is a very smart little dress and at the same time very practical one and it is q model that can be used for every child-like material. For the children of two and four years. the washable fabrics arc of course tho only desirable ones, with perhaps challis, occasionally for really cold days. When, six-year age is reached, shepherds check can be worn or light weight serge and various other materials of q similar sortj cashmere is good and henrietta cloth makes practical as we'll as pretty dresses and there are wool Crtpes that are very charming and attractive. Among the washable materials, gingham takes a very conspicuous place and there are also cotton Crapcs and certain other simple sturdy materials we'll adapted to everyday wear, while for the dressy frocks, the white lawns and muslins of all sorts are accepted favorites.

: The fight occurred in 1901 at the
intersection Of Fifth and Pine streets,
and is wildly remembered by Mir.
Meeks. Governor Voolfolk escaped.
Henry Voolfolk was captured. tried
and sentenced to four years. He was
sent to prison in January, 1902, es-
Gaping in June Of the same year.
jeff Voolfolk is known here also
as jeff Westberry, one being his an
te-bellum cognomen.
The capture of the trio is regarded
as one of the cleverest pieces of de-
tective work executed here, especial
]y because of the fact that the trail
was so old and the negroes had taken
such precautions to hide their ijenti-
ty in their new location. The Laurel
officers write that the Woolfolks rep
resented themselves as being from
New York, perhaps not difficult roles
for negroes from Pine Bluff to sue
cessfully assume in Mississippi.
