FORMER MENA MAN DEAD.
Ernest Johnson Probably Murdered
 in San Dieao. Cal.

A copy of the San Diego lCalJ Sun. received at Mena contains an account of the probable murder or Ernest Johnson. B years of age, son of k. A. Johnson, both formerly of this city. The death occurred August 9.
 The remains were found on the tracks of the Santa Fe railroad, the head being entirely severed and the body otherwise mutilated. The fact that welts and bruises were found on the head, together with the fact that Johnson had just been paid of and had about S70 on his person just prior to his disappear ance. lead the officers to the con- ciusion that lie was assaulted and robbed and then his body thrown on the track.
 Ernest Johnson was a member Of Rich Mountain Camp, No. 2i5. ". 0. w. in which he carried S2,000 in- surance. He was known as hard worker and faithful employe. and his death will be much regretted by many former friends in Mena.

 The presumption is that the Gov ernor is gathering statistics to be used in the campaign against the adoption of amendment No. I2, which provides for an increase from ! to i2 mills in the maximum school tax that may be levied
 In replying to the letter Treasur- .er Anderson gave the total amount of cash on hand June 30, 1916. in the various school districts of the county as S6,0i95i, but in addition, he also states that the records in his office show that on that date there were registered and unpaid warrants against the school funds in the aggregate amount of Si5,- i9552, SD that on June 30, 1916, there really was an aggregate indebted ness of S9.l560t

 Here's convincing testimony from a Mena woman:
 Mrs. A. W. Baker, 706 Jansen Ave, Mena, says: My kidneys were weak and I have always thought that bad drinking water caused the trouble. I had a dull, steady ache over my kidneys, and it hurt me to stoop or lift anything. suffered more during the day on account of being on my feet so much. My limbs used to swell and often got dizzy. Sometimes my kidneys acted too freely, and then again, they didn't seem to act at all. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from the Jackson Drug Co, soon helped me, and four boxes rid me of the trouble"

ITALY DECLARES
 WAR ON GERMANY
Formal Announcement Is but Rec0g- hilton of Existing State of Af-

Rome. Aug 27,-Italy has declared war on Germany.
 The formal announcement was made today thru the Swiss govern ment, the statement saying that It. aiy considered herself at war with Germany on and after August 2S.
 The two countries have been drifting steadily toward war for many months and the formal dec laration of yesterday amounts to lit- tie more than official recognition of an existing state of affairs. It be- came inevitable when Italy recently sent troops to Salonika to cooperate in the campaign of the entente allies on the Macedonian front, as Ger many Is directing the opposing ferces and has troops on this battle line.
