Dyspepsia Remedy That He
Guarantees 1t.

One of the greatest successes in the
sale of medicine has been achieved by
Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia rem.
edy, and its sale is increasing so rapid
ly that Daniel j. Fry, the popular drug
gist, has hard work to keep stock on
hand, 1t is very popular with bankers,
ministers, lawyers and others where
business or profession keeps them close.
ly confined, while those who have
brought on indigestion through irreg-
ular eating, worry, or other causes,
have found relief in this reliable
remedy.
Mi-o-na comes in tablet form and is
sold in a metal box especially designed
for convenience in carrying the medi-
cine in the pocket or purse. It is pleas.
ant to take, gives quick relief and
should help any case, no matter of how
long a standing. This remedy has been
so uniformly successful that Daniel j..
Fry will in future sell Mi.o.na under a
positive guarantee to refund the money

do a thing that ought to be done. If

pencil pastebruSh and scissors there will be things doing
to those big turkeys whose plethoric holds will be filled
with "slippings" and "fels" that will make the allies
attack the European and Asiatc varieties of the bird
seem the verest trifles.
There will be big twelve or fourteen pound turkey
for every ten guests, and these the turkeys will be
carved and the 'takes' given out at the tables.
1t is expected that each turkey squad" of these
doughty pencil pushers will do its full duty and reduce
the noble birds that long ago put the in ROseburg to
lines of p' as unnteigibe and senseess as the limo

Ten days ago it appeared that the Arkansas Legislature would close it's fortieth session with considerable Of the business unfinished, necessitating the calling of a special session, but fears for this may be banished. As soon as the liquor fight was out of the N ay the two branches of the legisla- ture settled down to business, and the really important measures, excepting the appropriations, are already long way toward adoption or rejection.
 The really most important of the bill, prepared by the committee nam- ed by the State Democratic Conven- ton. This bill has passed through the Senate with only one change, that being to place the primary back to the old date in March, it being preferable then to the May day picked by the committed The bill will not have easy sledding in the house however, for it was only showed through the Senate by the display of fight shown in it's favor by Senators J. NJ. Futrell and ]. l. Moore. Repeated efforts were made to cut the yitals from the bill, but these two East Arkansas senators stood pat and declined to accept any thing that would lessen the effective hess of the measure.

 There is nothing ill this bill that will affect a man who honestly wins his election"
 Under present conditions it is pos sible to steal elections .and steal men. I warn you now that some day, some where, they will meet retribution which has been long coming to them. ;
 These terse statements of Senator FutreH did more to pass the bill than did the fact that it was prepared by a committee from the State Democratic Convention, for the politicians on the floor declared the convention had never passed upon the bill, and conse- quently they were not bound by it.

The mayors of some of the larger Arkansas cities are confronted with the task of securing some sort of leg islation to make up the deficit in rev enue that will be caused by the state wide prohibition act, and attorneys TOW are engaged in working out q plan to make up this loss of revenue.
 Among the suggestions that have been made is that of graduated in- come tax on incomes above S1,500 q year, an occupation tax with a low maximum and special assessment against city property. If a bill is drafted it will specify that only one such plan can be used.
 These three plans were considered in a conference of mayors the other day, but nothing definite regarding them has been done The mayors of the cities affected are waiting for fur ther information from the attorneys.
 The plans that have been proposed to submit to the legislature do not take up in detail the manner of levy ing the tax or other details of the proposition. These will be left to the cities to work out in case the legisla- ture authorizes them to levy the spe- cial taxes
 It is estimated that the prohibition law will reduce the revenue in Little Rock $S0,O00 per year, Argenta $20,- GOO, Fort Smith $35,000 and Hot Springs, Helena and Pine Bluff about S30,000 each

PUBLIC UTILITIES
 COMMISSION BILLS
THREE ARE PENDING IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPoS-
 ING RADICAL CHANGES.
BILLS ARE BEING AMENDED
Railroads Are Divided in Their Atti- tude Toward the Pending Meas
 ures-Opinions Differ Radically.
Little Rock

Three bills are pending in the As semby for the creation of a Publicity Utility Commission, one in the house, introduced by MT Williamson of Ben ton, which is copy of the bill intro duced in the Senate by Senator John k. Duty, and one by Senator George F. Jones of Pulaski All are pat termed after the Missouri bill, though the Jones bill, prepared in the office Of Attorney General w. L. Moorse, elects the commissioners, while the Duty and Williamson bills makes the commis- sioners appointive by the governor.
 The railroads are divided in their the very existence of the corporations is attacked, while others declare that 1t is their salvation. The railroads claim the commission should have the right to pass upon dividends, which is a joke at the present time, when only about ten per cent of the trunk line railroad business is done in Arkansas, and the rates on that are not sufficient to sustain the portion of the road which is in Arkansas. They further claim that the restrictions of the bill are such that it prevents a holding company from taking up the bonds of the railroads, and that improvements could never be made under these bills
 Amendments are already being pre- pared to the Duty bill, eliminating electric light, water gas and street railway companies from it's provisions. which will place the bill in a much more favorable attitude, both with the public utility corporations, but with the cities in which they operate, for the bill, as drawn, would take all franchise rights from the cities and towns of Arkansas and place 1t with the Commission.

 According to MT. Starek, virtually two-ffths of the lands of Benton county, in the northwest part of the state, are suited only for grape cul- ture, and the use of these rough lands will be eliminated altogether if the provisions of the Newberry bill are carried out, crushing the wine growing industry Under the old law, enacted in 1899, the wine growing industry can eixst, while the public is protected amply through the restrictions placed upon the growers providing penalties for violations. If the old act is re enacted, he declares, the vineyards of the state need not be torn out, while if the Newberry law is permitted to stand as enacted, profitable industry will be lost to the 2tate. MT Starck points out that in the election in Ben ton county last fall while a majority of the voters cast their ballots for pro hibtion, a hearty endorsement was given the proposal regulating the man ufacture and sale of native wine.
