A PINE BLUFF MAN GIVES EVIDENCE
His Testimony Will Interest Every
 Pine Bluff Reader.

The value of local evidence IS in disputable. It is the kind of evidence we accept as true because we know We can prove it for ourselves. There has been plenty of such evidence in the Pine Bluff papers lately, and this straightforward testimony has es- tablished confidence in the minds of Pine Bluff people that will not be easily shaken.
 William H. Schaaf, blacksmith, 319 E. Third street, Pine Bluff, says: q was bothered the greater part of my life with weak kidneys. I had dull ache in my back for long time and there were sharp, shooting pains across my kidneys. My kidneys acted too freely day and night. Dizzy spells distressed me and specks seemed to float before my eyes. Doan's Kidney Pills put my kidneys in good shape and did me good m every way. I always keep supply of Doan's on hand"

WOMEN STEADY WORK FRS.

It used to be said that women could not be depended upon like men to work steadily, and, consequently, ought not to expect so much pay as men employed at similar work.
 While it would be foolish for any young woman to stay at work when physically unfit, it is believed that work as constantly as men. Any wo- man who is unable to do so, should take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the old, reliable medicine for woman, and get the aid she needs to enable her to keep at work.-Adv

Buenos Aires, March 10. - If the
United States is planning to seek

republics to cleanse American hemi-

likely to be rebuffed holly. A major

LIGHTED CIGARS
WITH IS BILLS
On Old Packets-MOney Was So
Plentiful and Business So Good
That Boats Refused to
Make Stops.

In looking over the private papers
Of Uncle" Abe Pierce, who died here
several years ago, diary kept by
him when he was running the bars"
on several of the big Southern pack
cts was found that contained some
things that are very interesting to
men of river inclinations today. 1t
shows what stupendous industry the
river business was at one time. On
one trip Of the famous Sultana he had
written, Money is so plentiful on this
trip among the Northern travellers
that 1t is frequent sight to see ci-
gars lighted with IS bills"
Again he wrote: "The business of
the packets in the Cincinnati-New Or
leans trade has been of such a huge
volume that 1t was impossible to take
on another pound of freight or anoth-
er passenger, consequently no land
ing was made between Memphis and
Natchez, and then only to discharge
some passengers and cargo" On an
other page he says: 1--WE passed to-
day on our up-trip eight large tow
boats pushing in whole acres of load
ed coalboats on their way to New Or
/ leans from Pittsburg." which now
brings back the question, Where are
the great fleets of majestic river pack.
cts which twenty or thirty years age
piled the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
from Pittsburg to Cairo and to New
Orleans? And where are the ponder
Gus towboats that drifted downstream
In a continued procession?"
There were no locks or dams or ar
tificial rises in the Ohio River in thos
