THOUSAND MILES
 IN FARM WAGON

Memphis, Sept. 20.-An intended journey of more than 1000 mics in a two horse wagon carrying him, his wife and three small children, came to an end in Memphis Fri day when the associated charities obtained railroad transportation for Clayton Carnes and family, who came here from Dallas, Tex, on their way to Lynnville, Pa. The trip from Dallas, more than 450 miles, was made in the wagon, the family camping by the roadside at nightfall.
 The associated charities investi- gated their case and finally per suaded relatives at Lynnville to send $114 for railroad tickets. They ar rived Thursday, and Friday the family planned to leave.

CALOMEL DYNAM|TES
 A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making you sick and you lose a days
 work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, con- stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow :; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.

CLAY FOUNTAINS
 LIKE PARAGOULD

Piggott Banner: The Clay coun- ty officials were taken to a nice drubbing by the hard slugging "hill billies'' of Greene county at Paragould Wednesday of this week The score was 2-(20-10)-1, with the Greene countians hanging onto the big end of the score.
 Sheriff Crews failed to live uI to his recent average in hitting but they do say he did some good running-after the ball. Brown ing was away off his feed on the mound, according to reports. In fact, nearly all the visitors played like "mutts," according to John Barwner, who witnessed the game from the grandstand.
 claim they were treated to too heavy a dinner, and were thereby loggy in their underpinnnig, and slow in their think tanks. Others say they had stage fright, and still others claim that the size of the crowd and the sight of so many nice looking ladies in the grand stand and bleachers kept their minds off the game. Assessor Will Hams indignantly denies that he was in Paragould Wednesday-say he can prove an alibi.
 The local officials are not smart ing very much under the defeat, since their hosts treated them so nicely In the forenoon they were driven to many points of interest near Greene countys capital, haC

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 20.- Sunday was reported quiet by army patrols throughout the lower Rio Grande district. There was some apprehension, however, of more fighting across the Rio Grande, as the aftermath of Sunday celebra- tions following the two days of dis order along the river since Mexican Independence day. The only dis turbance reported from the Mexican side of the river was entirely harm :. less, so far as international rela- tions are concerned, being an un- usual demonstration in favor of wo- man suffrage at Reynosa, Mexico, about 7 5miles up the Rio Grande from here.

 PIPE, BUT LIVES

Allenhurst, N. J., Sept 2O.- Samuel Lash of New York, physi- clans say, probably will recover in spite of one of the most terrible or deals ever experienced by a bather on the Atlantic coast.
 Lash plunged into the bathing pool here, not knowing it had been closed for washing, and was suck ed through a 12 inch outlet pipe 250 feet into the ocean. Lash was drawn into the pipe in the position of a diver, with hands above his head and was cast out a quarter of a minute later with both arms broken at the shoulder and lascer- ated from head to foot.

~El Paso, Tex, Sept. 17.-Held for r&nsom in the wilds of the Sierra Madre mountains of Western Chi huahua, threatened with execution and only three hours left ot his ransom time, Edward Ledwidge, the former Little Rock man, reached Juarez at midnight Wednesday night, ragged, with a seven days growth of beard on his face and a story of adventure crowded into one week which would make Capt. Kidd envious.
 When the Mexican Northwestern train was held up at Cumbre tun- nel, where S5 Americans had pre- viously lost their lives at the hands of Maxine Castillo, the Atilla of Mexico, J. c. Paddock was taken from the train by the Sanchez brothers and held for a ransom of $1O,OOO gold, which Ledwidge was to return to America for. Instead, Ledwidge, who had no family, of fered himself as hostage and insist ed that Paddock, whose wife was on the train, be released.

PENSION VOUCHERS
 FOR GREENE COUNTY

County Clerk Guss Powell an nounces that the vouchers for the Confederate pensioners in Greene county have arrived and those whose names are on the pension rolls can get their vouchesr by calling at his office. The total amount of pen sion money to be distributed in Greene county this year is about $8,500. The average amount to each pensioner is $62.50. The last legislature liberalized the pension laws and as a result there has been a large increase in the number of pensioners and a corresponding de- crease in the amount allotted to each pensioner. Next year the increased levy for pension purposes will go into effect and the individual amounts will be increased.

 Saturday afternoon a negro fish erman discovered a body in the Ar kansas river nine miles below Little Rock. The body was brought to Little Rock, and through the Ga zette, J. o. Waggoner and George R. Waggoner Jr., 1211 West Eighth street, were informed.

HURLED BOTTLE AT NEGRO, STRUCK
 BOY, INFLICTING A FATAL WOUND

gro minstrels have been playing in Cardwell, and it is said Spry has made threats to run the negroes out of town. This morning one of the negroes was passing by the side of Forrester's store and Spry seized a quart bottle and hurled it at the negro. The Barter lad received the full impact of the blow on his fore head. His skull was crushed and a portion of his brains oozed out. The lad was alive at three o'clock this afternoon, but physicians said there was no chance for his recovery.
 Feeling against Spry ran so high and there was so much talk of lynching him that officers placed him in an automobile and carried him to jail at Kennett.

AS they separated Mrs. Waggoner handed the contractor six notes addressed to each of the fiev sons and one to MT. Catherina. The notes bore in structions that they were not to be opened until a certain hour the next day, but MT. Catherina read his at once. It contained a lament of the loss of the farm and said that the writer was going to a ''watery grave" The other notes were quick ly given the two sons who reside in Little Rock Each contained a message similar to that MT. Cath erina had read.
 It was found the land that MT. Waggoner said he had lost was still in his name and not involved. The threats were not considered seri- ously until MT. Waggoner failed to return to the farm near Hickory Ridge. Search was started, but nothing was revealed. In addition to Waggoner's watch, $107 in bills was found in the pockets of his clothing.

DYKE JOB

II County Commissioner Will
Jams attempts to put over an ex-
ira $1,000,000 appropriation to
be spent in dyking the Stuck riv-
er with concrete he will meet
strong opposition from Commits
sioner Reed.
Williams asserts the project
now under way will not be per-
manently beneficial unless more
money is sunk, while Reed in
sists the original appropriation of
81 100000 made jointly by King
and Pierce counties is enough.
"a board of eminent engi-
neers," said Reed today, went
over the field in 1909 and gave
their opinion that the White,
Stuck and Puyallup rivers could
be permanently confined for
100000.
Mr.. Williams seems to forget
that there are only. 5000 acres
of farm land to be benefited.
II II is to cost more, it appears
to me, the saving of the land is
not worth the money"
Williams recommends the ap-
pointment of special commission
to have charge of the project.

City Dads Won't
Boost New Road
To Mt. Tacoma

Instead of boosting for a
north side" boulevard to Mount
Tacoma. the city commission to-
day asked the Commercial club
to lend their efforts towards I'M
proving the present mountain
road.
The new proposed road, which
was refused recognition by the
legislature yesterday, is sought by
Seattle because II will cut the
distance between. Seattle and the
mountain by so miles. 1t will
also take all traffic away from
the Tacoma boulevard. s
The city commission attended
today's luncheon at the CONNER
cial club, called to consider the
North Side road, with the avowed
intention of fighting the propos-
ed road, and asking Tacoma To
unanimously support her own
road.

nail MAY CAUSE
LOSS OF MEMORY

Spencer Thompson. SIS, a car
penter, will probably lose his
memory as result of an acct
dent yesterday, when a six-penny
nail was driven full ength into
his brain, while he was building
a fence at Gold Hill, near Puyal-
lup.
Thompson held nail in his
hand and was lifting heavy
timber above his head, when the
timber fell, striking the nail and
driving it through his skull.
Thompson was brought to the
county hospital, where the nail
was removed last night.
The carpenter lapsed into un-
consciousness. When he woke
today he could remember moth
ing of the accident or his past
life. The nail penetrated his
brain for two inches.
