No sooner had he gone than she |
put on her bonnet. Whatever he might |
say or do afterward she meant to
know whether Madame Chantella was
Mile or not. With fearful steps she
made her way downtown toward the |
theater And somehow she found her
self seated in a poor part of the house, |
watching with establishment the feats |,
Of q troupe Of Japanese jugglers.
Presently, looking about her, she saw
her husband seated not far away. his
eyes fixed on the stage.
Jim Rogers had yielded to what he
considered sin for the first time in his
life. None but he knew the longing
in his soul for his lost daughter. He
sat, staring eagerly at the jugglers.
This wasn't so bad This wasn't sin.
Ha! What would come next?
Next was comedian with q red
nose, who was tainted and leased by
lady with an abbreviated skirt. At
the sight Of her Jim Rogers anger
rose. This was sin! This was a spec

face she forgot her own feelings. Jim

"Sit down. Sit down." they bawled
at him.
He collapsed with helpless sort Of

still in uncertainty, Madame Chantella
came on the stage, beautifully gowned,
holding a sheet of music in her hand.
Jim Rogers gasped. 1t was Mile!

When she retired, amid thunder
of applause Jim rose unsteadily and
made his way out. At the entrance he
found himself face to face with his

Girls With Beautiful Faces
 or Graceful Figures

American girls have worldwide reputation for beauty, but, at the same time, there are girls in our cities who possess neither beauty of face nor form, because in these instances thcv suffer from nervousness, the result of disorders of the Womanly organism. At regular intervals they suffer so much that their strength leaves them; they are so prostrated that it takes days for them 10 recover their strength. Of course, such periodic distress has it's bad effect on the nervous system. The withered and drawn faces, the dark circles and crows feet about the eyes. the straight figure without those curves which lend so much to feminine beauty are the unmistakabIe signs of womanly disorders.
 When q girl becomes a woman. when a woman becomes mother, when woman passes through the changes of middle life, are the three periods of life when health and strength are most needed to withstand the pain and distress often caused by severe organic disturbances.
 At these critical times women are best fortified by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, an old remedy of proved worth that keeps the entire female system perfectly regulated and in excellent condition.
 Mothers, ii your daughters are weak, lack ambition, are troubled with head aches, lassitude and are pale and siclSly, Dr Pierces Favorite Prescrio- ton is just what they need 10 surely bring the bloom of health to their cheeks and make them strong and healthy.
 If you are a sufferer, if you daueh- ter mother, sister need help, get Dr. Pierces Fayorite Prescription ii liquid or tablet form. Then address D.. Pierce, lnvalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., and re- ceive confidential advice from q staff of specialists, that's free; also 135-paee book on woman's diseases sent free.

24 HEAD OF STOCK
 PERISH IN FLAMES

Little Rock, Sept. 16.-2f mules and horses were burned to death Friday night about 9 o'clock when the large barn on the plantation of Lewis Fetch CT, about seven miles from Lit tie Rock,near the Frazier Pike. burned to the ground. The plan tation is being farmed by Will Calhoun. The origin of the fire could not be learned. The blaze was discovered by one of the negroes, after the fire had made rapid headway, owing to the large quantity of hay stor- ed in the loft. Only two mules were saved from the flames, and they were severely burned.

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

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug. gish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it., causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harm less vegetable substitute for dangerous caiomel. 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, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they like it.

campaign then came along, adding an additional boost to wheat raising, so that the acre. age in Arkansas has increased 100 per cent during the past two years.
 Not only is the quality of Ar kansas wheat supreme, but more wheat was raised in Ark ansas than either Missouri or Illinois. The profit of wheat raising in this state may be seen comparatively in the fact that Illinois and Missouri wheat is produced on land worth from $125 to $150 per acre, while the average price of wheatland in Arkansas is $20 to $40 per acre. Wheat is produced in this state at a cost of 70 cents per bushel and brings up to $1.50 per bushel.

91 ARE INDICTED
  UNDER TICK LAW

Ninety-one Logan county farmers, indicted for violating the anti-tick law by refusing to dip their cattle, were recently arraigned in circuit court at Bonneville, but after Judge Cochran told them emphatical- ly that the law was constitu- tional and would be enforced. every man voluntarily promis- ed to dip his cattle. Judge Cochran continued the cases until October, and it is believ- ed the indictments will be dis missed if the farmers keep the promises made to the court.

PROMINENT FARMER
 KILLED BY NEGROES
R. L. Rutherford Killed Near Pine Bluff by Tenant Whom
 he Reproved for Drinking.

Pine Bluff, Sept. 19.-Rob- ert L. Rutherford, for q quar- ter of century one of thelead- ing planters and residents of this county, was shot to death today in field on the Ruther- ford plantation, about six miles southeast of Pine Bluff by two negroes, a shotgun and pistol being the weapons used. The negroes made their escape, but both are widely known, and the authorities believe the bloodhounds, which were brought tonight from the state convice farm at Tucker, will lead the posses to the fugitives during the night,
 Negroes on the place gre ap- parently loath to talk of the shooting, but according to the most reliable information ob- tainable, MT. Rutherford was compelled yesterdayto upbraid a negro tenant and employee named Aaron Johnson, for drinking while both were in the city. On his return to the plantation, Johnson is said to have told another negro that Mir. Rutherford would not have talked to him that way on the place. Another scolding today is said to have brought on the shooting, the negroes making the claim that John cursed Mr. Rutherford, who thereupon fir ed at him, none of the bullets taking effect. The negro is said to have then gone to his cabin and procured a shotgun, with which he fired upon Mr. Ruth erford. Charles Corprue, anoth- CT negro on the plantation, is sad to have aided in killing Mr. Rutherford.
 The head, arms and should CTS of the deceased were per forated many times by the bul- lets, and the physicians who examined the body announce that the wounds were made by both pistol balls and buck shot.
 The assassination created in- tense excitement throughout this section and scores of men are engaged in the search for the negroes. Mr. Rutherford was one of the best known and most generally popular men in the county. He was about so years of age, and is survived by his widow and fourchildren, Miss Ruth, who is visiting in Waco, Tex, Misses Louise, Hoshall and Mamie Ruther- ford. The family is widely con- nected.

ARKANSAS WHEAT
 IS SUPERIOR TO ANY
Philadelphia Company Who Bought so Cars Newark Say 1t is the Best Grown

The Philadelphia Milling Company who bought 50 cars of wheat at Newark this sea- son, has made known some sur prising facts concerning the wheat growing industry in Ar kansas. By experiment for sev- eral years the company has tested the relative value of wheat raised in all the Middle Western states and laboratory tests show that Arkansas soft wheat is superior to that grown anywhere.
 Big mills of the North send buyers to Arkansas every sea- son to purchase soft wheat to mix with their products to make the highest grade offlour for biscuit purposes. The Arka- delphia Milling Co.,, wrote an Indianna mill asking them why they purchased large quanti- ties of Arkansas wheat, and how they could afford to pay freight both ways, shipping the flour back to Arkansas. They replied that they are buying Arkansas wheat, paying extra fancy prices for it, to improve the quality of the wheat bought elsewhere.
 The amount of Arkansas wheat bought by the Arkadel- phia Milling Company this season was nearly 500,000 bushels, valued at $500,000. The prices paid in Arkansas ranged from $1.10 to $1.50 per bushel. More thu 2,000,000 bushels of wheat have been harvested in Arkansas this year, a substantialincrease dur ing the past two years because of the diversified farming movement and encouragement offered by the Philadelphia Milling Company.The company first donated $1,000 to adver- tise the industry in Arkansas, and then made the extraordin- ary offer to sell seed wheat at cost to farmrs. Thirty thousand bushels of seed wheat were sold before planting time. The company then sent out more than 10000 letters instructing how to plant, cultivate and harvest wheat. Nearly 100000 acres were planted to wheat that formerly were planted to cotton. The profitable farming

THE OPEN SEASON
 FOR FOOL FIRES
Time IS Almost Upon Us For Grass, Forest and Flue Fires Says Warning

''The open season for fool fires, from defective flues, burn ing grass and forests, is almost here,' says an anti-fire warn ing just issued, land it is up to the public to protect itself.'' ,
 Within a few short weeks the newspapers of Arkansas will have many items to print about fires caused from bad order flues, which the first touch of chilly weather always occasions.
 With a feeling of dread, the fire departments approach that season of the year when stoves are set up and furnaces lighted for the first time, after weeks of non use. During the sum- mer months furnace pipes have become defective through rust, cracks have widened in bad flues. The advent of the heat ing season uncovers all these defects.
 "Flues should be cleaned and inspected before fires are Furnace flues and heat ing fixtures generally should be looked after, either by the man of the house or by a re- liable workman" says the anti fire warning, issued by the Ar kansas Actuarial Bureau.
