I'd CAVALRY READY TO MOVE.
Fort Ethan Allen Equipment Packed
in Readiness for Rush Orders.

BURLINGTON, March lett would
require but minutes to start opera
tions for moving the I'd Uuited States
cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen to the
international border on the south or
to somewhere in Mexico if orders
should come from the war department.
The horses have been shod and all
equipment has been packed and
checked up ready for telegraphic or
ders which may come.
Representatives of the Rutland rail
road today visited the post ana con
ferred with the officers regarding de-
tails of transportation rates and routes
should the command be ordered to
move.
1t would require 10 ears to move
the troops and horses and the com
mand would travel in seven sections
Should orders come for the regiment
to proceed to the Mexican border ii
is likely that only a small guarJ
would be left on the reservation.

STOMACH ACTS FINE! NO INDIGESTION, GAS.
 HARTBURN, ACIDITY
"Pape's Diapepsin' Fixes Sick, Sour, Upset Stomachs in
 Five Miutes.

You don't want slow remedy when your stomach is bad-or an un- certain one-or harmful one-your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it with dastic drugs.
 Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's speed in giving relief! it's harmless ness; it's certain, unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over.
 Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home-keep it handy-get a large ffty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them, if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nau- sea; eructations of acid and undi- gested food-remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is revelation to those who try it.-AdV,

URGES BIG NAVY
 10 INSURE PEACE EDWARD BRICK TALKS NAVY LEAGUE SECRETARY SPEAKS ON PREPAREDNESS
 AT PUBLIC SCHOOL.

From Saturdays Daily
 An adequate navy for the purpose of preserving peace rather than pro- voking war was urged in an address at the public school auditorium last evening by pr. Edward Breck, field secretary of the United States Navy League. Inclement weather held the attendance down to a small number but those present gave the speaker close attention and were apparently in sympathy with the purpose of the lecture. The address was arranged Dy M, E. Mitchell of this city, secre- tary for Arkansas of the Navy League.
 pr. Breck gave a brief history of the American navy and showed how much greater the need for an ade- 1uate number of war vessels is today than ever before in the nations ex- istence. The unpreparedness of the United States is relatively as great today, he said, as it was when the Spanish-American war began. At that time it required two months, he stated, to transport an army corps of 17,000 men from the United States to Cuba, and these soldiers were sent to the tropics in winter clothing and in charge of a general who weighed 300 pounds and who required two men to assist him to mount a horse.
 The United States, Dr. Breck de- clared, is the worst-hated nation on earth. The Monroe doctrine has in- spired the ill-will of practically every European state and the anti-immi- grafton laws have won for us the hatred of Japan, while more recent incidents have resulted in the enmity of the central powers.
 Dr. Breck said it was criminal neg ligence for America to delay the con- struction of an adequate navy. It will cost large sums of money, he ad- mitted, but the arguments showing how many hospitals, roads, etc., could be constructed with this money, Dr. Breck said, are puerile. "As far as that is concerned" Dr. Breck said, "the sum spent for chewing gum each year in the United States would pro- vide us with an adequate navy, and the amount spent in this country for moving picture shows would replace all the navies of the entire world.
 Dr. Breck admitted that much mon- ey appropriated for naval purposes had been wasted and said that if it had been properly and wisely expend- ed the present need would not be so great.

WON'T
 BE A CANDIDATE

Little Rock, Jan. 11-Former Gov ernor X. o. Pindall will not be a can didate for attorney general. In a statement given to the Parke-H Harper News Service he says that he reach ed this decision after mature deliber- ation. First, he decided that if he should give one-half of the time to his private practice that would be required for public duties, he could make twice as much money. Second, the office is now being sought said he, by members of the bar, any one of whom is my equal and some my third, the positive stand that he has taken on some important political questions have put him at variance with certain political pow CTS, and the cost of a campaign that would be necessary to outgeneral them would be too great to warrant his entering the contest.

already accomplished practical de- struction of elections by the people. The increase of the selfish evil influ- ences in the hands of state officials, who have the power to select and to appoint election commissioners, in connection with patronage, pardons and printing, backed up by the party machinery, have in the past embold- ened and enabled them to repeatedly defeat your will. There is every in dication that the bosses and ringsters do not intend that I shall have an honest election and a fair count.
 With a heart full of gratitude to those of you who have supported me and an earnest desire that the credit of the state may be restored, extrav- agant expenditures stopped, honesty and fidelity on the part of the of- ficials practiced, honest elections pro- vided for, the laws enforced and bet ter public schools secured.

GOLDEN WEDDING
 IS JOYOUS OCCASION
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
 On Monday January 10, was cele- brated the fiftieth anniversary of a wedding of unusual interest which took place at Austin few months after the close of the civil war. The groom, John D. Dunaway, ST., had served with honor to claim his sweet heart, Miss Emma Blackwood, whose love and cheering messages had made the dangers of war at least bearable. This marriage united two prominent pioneer families. Mrs. Dunaway's s ancestors were from Tennessee, and MT. Dunaways from South Carolina. Both were Scotch-Irish. The we'd ding took place at the home of the bride on January 10, 1866, Rev. George Forbess saying the ceremony.
 The bride was beautiful girl and wore a pearl colored Irish pophn over the then popular ''hoops.' The groom wore a puffed bosom shirt and long trock coat. Judge Blackwood, a brother of Mrs. Dunaway, and her nephew, Chas M. Conner, who wit messed the wedding ceremony 50 years ago, were present at the cele- bration. The wedding breakfast was served after which the bride and groom went on horseback 25 miles, where they were met by many friends who had made ready for the ''in- fair"
 MT. Dunaway told his children an amusing story about the wedding journey.
 While the couple were en route from the wedding breakfast to the "infair," the horse he was riding "balked' and delayed the party sev- eral hours. Finally farmer came along leading a mule, and Mir. Dun- away traded for it and the happy couple went on their way.
 At the wedding dinner everything good was served in the greatest abundance and topped off by pound cake and Silly bub" which was so

popular in those days. The couple then moved to their home 10 miles east of Conway where they lived for 30 years, then moved to Conway where they have lived 20 years, living daily as if life were lent for noble deeds" only. From this home has gone out such godly influence and gentle radience, kindness to all that only eternity can measure it's worth. Eight children blessed this union-all of whom are living. Fourteen grand children brighten and sweeten the days with their promise of "some- thing better than they have known achievements and success unthought of in the old days.
 A very elaborate but informal af- fair had been planned, but owing to Mr. Dunaways failing health only the family and near neighbors were present MT. and Mrs. Dunaway re ceived many handsome gifts, letters of congratulations and telegrams. The gift from the children was bag of gold. The dinner was served at the home of L. s. Dunaway. The wedding cake, presented by Dr. and Mrs. w. C. Dunaway, was iced beau tifully and glistened with old time rock candy. The cake weighed 14 pounds. Four white symbolic doves at on each corner, and the large let ters in gold were 'Blackwood and Dunaway, 1966-1916." MT. Dunaway was the first to cut the cake and he was surprised to find gold double ring engraved Prom J. D. D. to k. T. B." He placed the ring on the left hand of his bride of 50 years ago.
 It was one of the most beautiful and joyous occasions ever seen in Conway

MIR, M'RAE QUITS
 GOVERNORS RACE
ACTION IS A SURPRISE
PRESCOTT MAN DENOUNCES PRESENT DAY POLITICAL
 METHODS.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
 The biggest surprise of the present campaign was sprung late yesterday when Thomas c. McRae of Prescott announced his withdrawal from the race for governor, leaving Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges, Dr. c. H. Brough and L. c. Smith as the re- maining candidates. MT. McRae's withdrawal is the second within about two weeks, former State Treasurer John w. Crockett having quit the race just before Christmas.
 State politicians are said to be at a loss to understand MT. McRae's withdrawal, as he was apparently getting his campaign well under way and was alignfng strong support throughout the state. He gives as reasons the condition of his health, which will not permit him to make a personal campaign, the expense of making campaign with literature and advertising and the opposition of an "organized official and political machine" which he claims has "al- ready accomplished practical de- struction of elections by the people, y
 Ali three of the remaining candi- dates claim they will be benefited by Mir. McRae's withdrawal. His for mai statement is as foi;ows:
 "To the Democratic Voters of Arkan
 Sas:
 "In announcing my withdrawal from the race for governor, l do so with the firm belief that 1 would be noml mated by a good majority of you if l could meet and discuss with you the necessity for retrenchment and re- form in the administration of the states affairs and then could get a correct return upon your ballots. The reasons that impel me to with draw are these:
 "First-Such a personal canvass as is insisted upon by those of my friends who believe in that method of campaigning is, l fear, beyond my strength. l would prefer this meth cd, but the effect of my recent illness suggests to me that 1 should not un dertake it in midwinter.
 "Second-The other method of get ting my views before you is by letter and addresses, published in pam phlets or in newspapers, or both, but you cannot all be reached in this way, and the other necessary expenses met without exceeding the limit fixed by the act of April ?, 1913. Five thous- and dollars is as much as l am able to spend, and l make no complaint ot this limit, but 1 believe in obeying and enforcing all the laws, and If l were financially able to exceed the limit 1 would not violate my pledge not to do so for the nomination. It has been my desire to use the news papers, but their rates are prohibitlve when considered in connection With the legal limit upon expenditures.
 "Third-My fight is in your behalf. It is the unorganized people against an organized official and political ma chine that has long existed and has
