meeting here last night. said there was
wide interest throughout the country

their constant change.
If it were not for the bulwark OF
the fourteenth amendment to the Con-
sti;ution. don't know what would
happen TO such states as Arizona,
California and such States as seem To
be FAD ridden" he said.

RUSSIANS REGAIN s TERRITORY LOST
 TO THE KAISER
In the North, the Battle for Riga Continues, Czar's
 Forces Holding Own.

London, Oct 29.-It is significant that while the Austrian official re port on the Russian front says "there is nothing to report" and the Ger man statement is "The positions are unchanged" the Russian war office claims many results of importance.
 This is particularly so through tine lakes district between Dvinsk and Sventsiany. Here, the Russians are steadily advancing and are making a near approach to the Vilna-Dyinsk railroad. In the south, they also continue harassing the Austro-Ger- mans by frequent thrusts.
 These gains are coincident with the presence of the czar and the crown prince, who are now visiting General IvanoH in this region.
 In the north the battle is stil rag ing for Riga and Dvinsk, which Gen eral von lindenberg has been en- deavoring to reach fo rtwo months.
 During the last week, the Germans have poured a rain of shells on the Russian positions along a front of 150 miles, from the mouth of the Dvina to south of Dyinsk, but al though the Russians are falling back a little in the north, they have gcn erally held firm and returned shot for shot,

They have always brought prompt relief. We are never without box of DQan's Kidney Pllls in the house. We generally procure them from the Mann-Tankersley Drug Co., :.

GRID HEROES RETURN. Coach Bassett Warmly Congratulated for His R0YS, Sh0Ming

The Hi football squad returned from Little Rock last night, all worn out, some of the boys a bit "bunged up," but everybody happy. Coach Bassett was warmly congratulated for the very fine showing put up by tho boys.
 Considering that four of the regu lars of the local squad were either out of the game or somewhat crip- pied, because of injuries, the 0 to 0 tie at Little Rock yesterday is an achievement of which Coach Bassett and the boys may be proud.
 "The boys were a bit stage fright ened," said the coach, but they did some mighty pretty work"
 Coach Bassett particularly praised Mccain and Collins for their excel- lent defensive work, saying that time after time one or the other saved Pine Bluff when the goal was in danger.
