CANDIDATES AND INK.

Never in the history of Ark ansas politics has there been so much political advertising as has clogged the pages of the PAS newspapers of the state. Some of the smaller weeklies have thrown up their hands as it were, in despair, while even the city dailies have been forced to turn down" ads for lack of space. Never before
 have the aspirants for office paid such a substantial tribute to the power and efficiency of the press as an advertising medium.
 There is no way of estimating the thousands of dollars that has been spent with the newspapers and that very fact has had a tendency to bring about an edi- torial neutrality that would have seemed strangely out of place with the journalism of fifty years ago. The candidates have realiz- ed at last that stump-speaking is well enough, but that it is very expensive and the audiences res tricted. Circulars and broad sides and posters do some good,
 but they are also expensive and of unquestionable merit. But newspaper advertising reaches

"ME AND THE KAISER. "

Colonel Roosevelt is reported to have said that the only per sons MT. Wilson fears are Me and the Kaiser" We doubt whether the Kaiser would care to be included in this partner ship. But there is a certain suggestiveness in the collocation. The Kaiser is understood to have claimed a partnership with Providence. When MT. Roose. welt says Me and the Kaiser
 does he mean to intimate that he personifies the higher power

 hope never again to hear the cry Court House Ring" until we have at least one officer who has used his office corruptly and for political purposes and that the people will no longer pay attention to this cry of dema- gogue, but will come to realize that this harmful agitation has been fostered by a few of those who have in times past been most benefited by the votes and support of the people of Ozark and who have as a rule been among the last and small est contributors to the cause of public improvements or to wor- thy charities. The time was when these same men were de- pendent upon the united support of both town and country for favors, but now that they have lost the power to dictate to the people who their candidates shall be they raise the cry of Ring" and seek to array the people of the country against those of the town to the hurt of both.

When your arm or your leg feels "all knot tea with rheumatism, when you feel as thouRh your muscles were tied up with a rope" you are really describing your pains accurately
 Rheumatism is a condition of the body when acids and other deposits of impurities are ao tuaily "ueing up' the strands of muscles in your body. or strangling the nerves and thus producing the awful shooting pains of sciatica, lumbago, etc. Medical authorities agree that these acid deposits are carried and deposited by the blood in the various parts of the body

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
LIFE AND DEATH.


 titled, How Do 1 Know" 1 desire to state that 1 am very much interested. For one to declare himself not interested on this subject would be to proclaim himself idiotic and thoughtless. If the ordinary affairs of this present life, food, raiment, finance, politics, etc.. which con cern us but a short time, are deemed worthy of thought and study, how much more concern should we have in respect to the ETERNAL FUTURE of our selves, neighbors and to man. kind in general?
 The proper answer to the above question stands related to our own destiny. it colors and influences our theology and the entire trend of our lives! The correct answer gives strength, confidence, courage, and assists toward the spirit of a sound mind!
 Then let us turn to Gods divinely inspired word therein we find science, logic, reason and wisdom: For Whatsoever Things were Written Aforetime Were Written for Our Learning, that We. Might H a e Hope. (Rom. 15:4.) In both the Old and New Testament writings we find the good and the bad referred to as having fallen asleep in death. Our father, Adam, sinned and God passed upon him the sentence of DEATH, and as by a man (the perfect man, Adam) came death, by a man (the perfect man, Christ Jesus) comes also the RESUR- RECTION of the DEAD; for as ALL in ADAM DIE. even SC ALL in CHRIST shall be made ALIVE. every man in his own order." Qst Cor. 15: 21- -23.)
 In Eden it was God who de- clared to our first parents, 'Ye shall surely die" It was Satan declared "Ye shall not surely die, y In the day thou eatest thereof, dying thou shalt die. " (Gen. 2:17.) There the dying began, which. after nine hun dred and thirty years, brought Father Adam to the tomb and involved all of his children in his weakness and death sentence. He died on that very day which the Apostle Peter explains was not twenty-four hour day, but thousand-year day" e Pet. o'o.) A.sss The Scriptures agree from beginning to end that the dead know not anything" (Eccl. 9:5. ) And that their sons come to honor and they know it not: they come to dishonor and they per ceive it not of them" (Job 14:2l.)
 There is neither wisdom nor knowledge nor device in (sheoD the grave, whither thou goest. " (Eccl. 9:10.) Also read Romans 5:l0. The wages of sin is DEATH: but the gift of God is eternal hte through Jesus Christ our Lord" " (Romans 6:23.) LIFE and DEATH.
 We search the Genesis ac- count of mans fall and the sen- tence imposed. but find no sug- gestion of any reward or punish ment other than LIF E and DEATH, so we have it our friends are D K A D and the great prison-house which now holds approximately twenty thousand millions of our race will at the second advent of our Lord be opened and allow all the prisoners to come forth, just as he did in the case of Lazarus.

AERO BOMBS BARELY
MISSED ITALIAN QUEEN
Broke Telegraph Wires in Front
of Royal Train.

Rome. May 17.-Queen Helena and
the Princesses Jolanda and Msfalda
had a narrow escape in the attack by
Austrian air raiders on the train in
which they were travelling on Monday
last from a point near the front 70
Venice on their way to Rome. IL dytl-
oped to-day, bombs dropped by the
aviators striking directly on the line
OF the railroad over which they were
passing.
AS the train was nearing Venice IL
was pursued by Austrian aeroplanes,
evidently informed of the presence Of
the royal personages. Both the train
and the railway line itself being In
complete darkness, the aeroplanes
missed their target, although bombs
exploded so near that they broke tele-
graph wires along the line.
Meanwhile, the searchlights Of ltal-
ian anti-arcraft batteries discovered
the raiders. who abandoned the chase
shortly before the train reached Padua.
Although the Padua station lights
had been darkened, the population made
an enthusiastic demonstration on the
arrival Of the Queen and princesses,
who showed no signs Of agitation over
their experience.

WARSHIPS BATTLE
IN NORTH SEA
British and German De-
stroyers Have Long Range
Fight Off Belgian Coast.

London, May IA battle between
small British and German wsrships Off
the Belgian coast and the sinking Of
q British monitor by Turkish bat
teries were the latest naval actions
revealed to-day.
British official announcement OF the
fight off the Belgian coast says:
IAN encounter took place yesterday
afternoon of the Belgian coast be-
tween a force composed OF British de-
stroyers and monitors and some Ger
man destroyers. After a short engage
ment the enemy withdrew 20 their
ports. Our force sustained no cas-
ualtics"
According TO the German version OF
the fight a British cruiser was hit by
n bomb from a German aeroplane. The
account says:
"Sone British naval forces appeared
of the coast of Flanders. German
warships, accompanied by patrol boats,
went 10 meet them. A short night
ensued at long range. during which
n German aerop.ane dropped bombs on
an enemy cruiser, which was observed
10 be hit near the coming tower"
A British official communication this
evening admits the loss Of monitor
as a result of the fire of Turkish guns.
The monitor was reported as having
been set on fire and sunk, in a Turkish
official statement Tuesday. The British
Admiralty denied the statement, but
saws later advices confirm the Turkish
report. The British statement says:
"A delayed telegram received from
Vice-Admiral de Robeck states that on
the night Of May 1874 one Of our
small monitors, the M-30, commanded
bv Lieutenant Commander L. l.. b.
Lockyer, was struck by the enemys
artillery, and, taking fire, was subse-
quently destroyed. Two men were
Killed and two wounded.
This information appeared In the
Turkish communication yesterday and
was officially denied, as other messages
had been received from the viee-ad-
miral two days after the occurrence.
As result Of further inquiry 1t was
found that a message reporting the
loss had miscarried.'

day said: -..I

Says French Submarine
Attack Killed 3 Women

Berlin. May 17-According TO the
Austro-Hungarian note sent to neutral
powers on the sinking of the Austrian
steamer Dubrovnik and other Austrian
vessels, including the hospital ship
Electra, by hostile submarines, the
Dubrovnik had nineteen passengers on
board, including several women and
children, when she was tOrpedoed
Three bodies Of women were recovered
and four members of the crew and four
passengers are missing.
The Steiani Agency on May 10 stated
that a French submarine torpedoed the
Dubroynik, which was a transport and
carried ammunition. The Overseas
News Agency, however, states that the
capacity of the Dubrovnik was $50 tons
and that she was not able therefore 70
carry troops or ammunition. Besides
this. it is added. the distance between
the Dubrovnik and the submerged sub
marine was so great that it was impos-
sible for the latter to discern the class
Of persons carried by the steamer.
The Austro-Hungarian government
states that the firing of the second tor
pedo against the sinking steamer and
be qualified as intentional murder. The
Austro-Hungarian government holds
the Italian government equally respon-
sible with the French government since
the French submarine was operating
with the Italian forces.
The Overseas News Agency's sum-
mary of the matter. after mentioning
the illusions in the note to the tor
pedoing of the hospital ship Electra
and attacks on the steamers Daniel
Emo and XaGreb. concludes:
"The Austro- Hungarian government
most emphatically protests against the
criminal acts mentioned"
