 The stranger said he really couldn't, and would chalk it up to Edinburgh's credit

BOSCHEES GERMAN
 SYRUP
A Valued Household Remedy for
 Over Half a Century.

In our climate. with its sudden changes of temperature, rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day, it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, many deaths resulting from this cause. A bottle of Boschees German Syrup kept in the house, and a few doses taken in time, will possibly prevent a severe ill., ness, doctors bill, and perhaps death. For fifty years this has been a very successful remedy for coughs, colds, throat or lung troubles. It induces a good nights sleep with easy expec- toration in the morning.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DENIES APPLICATION FOR
 CERTIoRARI WRIT.
$39,000 AWARD IN CASE
Union Sand and Material Company Must Pay For Sand and Gravel Tax on From Arkansas Side of Missis-
 sippi To Center of the Stream.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Attorney General Arbuckle received a telegram from the clerk of the Unit ed States Court stating that the court had denied the petition of the Union Sand and Material Company of Mem phis for writ of certiorari for review of case in which the State of Arkan- sas obtained s39,O0O judgment.
 The judgment was obtained for sand and gravel taken from the Mississippi River between the Arkansas shore and the center of the stream The action means that the judgment must be paid without further delay
 The suit originated in Desha coun- ' ty. The state obtained the judgment and on appeal to the Arkansas Su- preme Court the action was affirmed F. A. McCulloch, chief justice of the Supreme Court, refused to grant an appeal. Notice was given that a pc ton for a writ of error would be filed with the United States Supreme Court Instead, a petition for a writ of cer- tiorari was filed.
 This was denied hy the United States Supreme Court Two federal questions were raised by the Memphis company, one was that the act of 1913, placing a tax on sand and gravel re- moved from streams and lakes by cor porations, was in conflict with the fed eral constitution in that individuals were permitted to take such material without charge.
 The other question was that the War Department had authorized the coEa- nany to take the sand and gravel, thus eliminating state jurisdiction. The state held that it controlled sand and gravel lying in the Mississippi River between the Arkansas shore and the center of the stream.

CHINESE MILITARY TACTICS
Celestials Planned to Trip Up Foes, Throw Water in Their Faces and
 Then Cut Off Their Heads.

At the beginning of the Chino-Japa- nese war, says a contributor to the Washington Star, one of our military attaches saw a Chinese regiment take the field at review and go through a very curious performance.
 The soldiers carried long bamboo poles like fishing rods, and with these they rushed at one another, yelling wildly and making very queer gestures and grimaces.
 What's the gamer" asked the Amer ican.
 That regiment" a Chinese general answered, lis one of our very oldest It is now practicing a form of assault that dates from prehistoric times. The idea is to trip the enemy up with the long wand throw water in his face and, in the midst of his bewilderment at this extraordinary treatment, to cut off his head."-Youth's Compan- ion.

Do You Neglect
 Your Machinery?

The machinery of the body needs to be well oiled, kept in good condition just as the automobile, steam engine or bicycle. Why should the human neglect his own machinery more than that of his horse or his engine? Yet most peo- pie do neglect themselves. To clean the system at least once 3 week is to practice preventive measures. You will escape many ills and clear up the coated tongue, the sallow complexion, the dull headache, the lazy liver, if you will take May-apple, juice of the leaves of aloes, root of jalap, and called Pleasant Pellets.

The revenue ordinance passed by the city council will be submitted to the voters of Little Rock on May 4. The ordinance proposes to tax nearly every occupation in the city The last Legislature passed a bill authorizing citizens of the first class to pass such measures, but also required that the ordinance must receive a majority of the votes of the qualified electors of the city before 1t becomes effective.
