GETS ESCAPED CONVICT
 BEFORE HE IS MISSED

Henry Williams, negro, trusty at the state convict farm at Cummins. escaped from the farm yesterday about 1 o'clock, and was taken into custody here about 4:30 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett.
 After arresting the negro, Deputy McBurnett called tip the Cummins farm and announced that he had the man in custody. The authorities at the farm had notmissed thenegro, but sent up after him. Mir. Burnett col !ecting the reward of $25.
 Williams was sent to the peniten- tiary from Ell Dorado, t oserve term of five years for murder in the second degree. As a trusty. he had ample opportunity to leave the farm between meal hours, without his absence at tracting any attention, and it was through this that he was able to reach Pine Bluff.

THE WORTHAM SHOWS.

aWhen it is stated that over $3O,OO0 has been expended in riding devices on the Wortham shows some idea or the magnitude of the attractions that the Shriners are bringing here may be arrived at. Nevertheless it is fact that this sum has been spent by c. A. Wortham on the merry-go- round, ferris wheels and the whip, the latest and most popular of all.
 The merry-go-round was built at the Wortham factories at San Antonlo the past winter and some idea of the expense can be obtained when one IS informed that over S2,CO0 was expend- ed in gold leaf alone. making it the most pretentious' and elaborate ride in the country and one thatcauSeS comment wherever it is set up.
 The average cost of these machines ranges from $5,000 to $7.5OO. So that the WOrtham machine has actually cost, with the improvements, safety devices and decorations a sum that doubles the most expensive merry-go- round in the country.
 The whip is quite new to the show world and one of the most facinating of rides. It is in the form of a large floor, some 100 feet in length, by 50 feet in width. In twenty cars the riders are propelled around at ex- press speed and the sensation one gets is most exhilirating.
 High life, which will be found con- spicuous on the midway on account of the immense search light that has radius of twenty miles on the top, will be found to be one of the great est fun makers of all It is an ex- position attraction that has been much in favor the past two years at San Francisco and San Diego and as far as can be asccrtained is the only one used that has been exhibited on the road.

Destructive Shell Fish.

In the tropics rock-boring and wood, boring shell-fish are among the greas- est natural agents of destruction in the shallow waters of the sea. It was not until the builders of iron ships launched the present navies of peace or war upon the deep that the hulls of vessels moored for any time in harbor were safe from their attacks. The shells of these molluscs are often not at all obviously adapted for bor- ing. Frequently they are very thin. looking almost like hardened paper. Yet they bore through teak or oak, hardened clay, chalk rock and con- crete breakwaters.

Dandruffy Heads },
 Become Hairless

z If you want plenty of thick, beautiful glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails,

IF BACHACHY OR
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat Also Take Glass of Salts Before Eating
 Breakfast.

Uric acid in meat eHcites the kid neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or threc times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must held them flush off the body's urinous waste Or you'll be real sick person shortly. At first you feel dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from bach ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom ach gets sour, tongue coated and yol feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist foul ounces of lad Salts: take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and yOuG kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activ. ity, also to neutralize the acids 'n urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in jure; makes delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggis" $ here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trou- ble-Advt.

iCANDY MAKER DECLARES.
 SOLDIERS ARE BEGGARS
Charges Are Preferred With Federal Authorities Against Chicago Manu-
 facturer; Evidence Provided.

Local handlers of several kinds of candy manufactured and sold in large quantities throughout the country by Reuckheim Bros. & Eckstein, of Chi cago, will be interested in the follow ing clipping from the Chicago Tri- bune:
 Fred w. Rueckheim, head of the firm of Rueckheim Bros. & Eckstein, candy manufacturers, was accused before Hinton G. Clabaugh, federal investigator, yesterday of having la beled the militia as "a gang of beg gars." It also was reported that in conspicuous place on Rueckheim's desk was silver mounted photo graph of Von Hindenburg. These charges were coupled with the statement from Sergt. Arthur" EDunne and Private G. R. Russell of the First Illinois field hospital corps 1 No. 1, that Rueckheim ordered them out of his office when they came to ask military aid and bade the soldiers "go to he'll"
 The complaint also was made to The Tribune. Soon afterward, a | Tribune reporter, in military uniform, accompanied by Private R. E. Sulli- van and R. E. Lewis of Battery b, First artillery, called on Rueckheim. The reporter, without disclosing his identity, asked permission to go i through the candy factory with viev, of enlisting recruits to the colors.
 q should say not" Rueckheim re- piled. "This is no recruiting office" | And he turned and took up the photo graph of Von Hindenburg and view l ed it.
 Don't you think it unpatriotic to have picture of German general so conspicuously placed?" asked the ! reporter.
 q should say not" repeated Rueck | helm.
 "Will you give something toward | the American Red Cross?" Rueck- | helm was asked.
 "Not a cent" he replied. "And I want you to get out of here. The hel! with you"
