nual meeting of the association.
The association meets in Mari
anna this year, May 27-29, and
as it will require a day for the
most of the members to reach
the place of meeting and a day
to return, it will take the great
er portion of the week for the
meeting alone. As it is plan
ned to charter a steamboat at
Memphis and take a trip to St.
Louis and back, which will re
quire another week, a number
of members have protested
against being away from theii
business for two weeks at one
time. They favor the trip, but
would rather take it later in the
summer.
The committee reached no
conclusion. 1 here is some doubt
about the association being able
to secure the desired steamei la
ter, and until that point can be
settled, and a full meeting of the
committee can be had, notning
definite will be done. It is prob
able a letter will be sent to all
members of the association, ask
ing their wishes about the ex
cursion, and the majority will
rule—as practically all the edi
tors are Democratic, and the
others do not count.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN HAIR PROM
ISES AND HAIR RE
SULTS.
Promises won’t overcome hair
trouble. The manufacturers of
Newbro’s Herpicide promise no
thing which is not justified by
an intelligent use of this prepar
ation. The desired end ulti
mately becomes an accomplished
fact. This is the reason that i
Herpicide has thousands of sat-1
isited friends all over the world. I
By keeping the scalp clean and |
healthy and destroying the i
dandruff, Newbro’s Herpicide
makes beautiful hair. Herpicide
prevents the hair from falling i
out and allows it to grow unhin-1
dered and naturally except in
cases of chronic baldness which !
is incurable.
Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c and
$1.00 sizes is sold and guaran
teed to do all that is claimed. If ;
you are not satisfied your money ,
will be refunded.

Robbers Overlook $6,000
Mammoth Spring. April 4.—
The insurance adjusters examin

of the Alton Bank, at Alton, Mo„
18 miles east of here, found that,

of the inner door of the burglar

The heavy charge of nitroglycer- J

of the safe and vault and also
the front of the building, had

would have come open freely.'

William j
of the!
Civic Improvement Club.
The Civic Improvement League
held an interesting meeting yes
terday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Hirsch. The enthusiasm
of the members has in no wise
flagged, neither has their deter
mination to urge upon our citi
zens and town officials the neces
sity of improved sanitary condi
tions within our borders.
Besides the continuation of
business left over from previous
meetings, new subjects came up
for discussion.
Owing to the fact that the
i -i _1
Clean up tiay appumieu sccmcu
rather early in the season to ob
tain the best results, a new clean
up day was appointed. This will
be April 18th. In the work of
this day the co-operation of ev
ery citizen and every officer of
the town is most earnestly re
quested.
In spite of the fact that feed
ing large herds of stock within
the city limits, is unlawful, there
now exist on Beech street condi
tions that, not only are a public
nuisance, but are a menace to
the health of all citizens of the
neighborhood. Hogs, mules,
horses and cattle are herded
there. The stench from these
pens being extremely obnoxious,
a petition will be presented to
the mayor in the name of the
club, to have this stock removed
from the city limits.
The League is glad to note
that there is being created
among our people a sentiment
greatly conducive to the “city
beautiful” idea. Work is being
done upon church grounds, and
other pieces of public property.
Doubtless to those having these
improvements in charge the fact
that some one is interested in
their efforts, and stands ready
to commend them, will make the
task they have begun easier in
the doing. The Methodist
church Board also the Public
School teachers and the mem
bers of the Board are to be con
gratulated for the initial steps
they have taken toward beauti
fying their grounds. There is a
homely saying that “small be
ginnings make great endings.”
We trust that we shall soon see
a mighty exemplification of this
adage in the results of the work
already begun upon our town.
Mrs. ,T. C. Knoop, the guest of
Mrs. Hirsch, was a visitor to the
League yesterday and made
many practical suggestions to
the club concerning plans of
working, and methods of secur
ing the interest and help of ev
?ry man, woman and child in the
improvement of Newport. Some
af Mrs. Knoop’s ideas will be put
nto effect in the^iear future.
There will be aJcall meeting of
he League Friday, the 11th of

Arkansas Streams Rise.
The heavy rains of Thursday,
which were general all over Ar- i
kansas, caused the White River
to continue to rise at George
town and the Arkansas to rise
at Dardanelle. No report was
received from Black Rock on the
Black River by the local weather
forecaster.
The rain fell in torrents at
Georgetown, 1.76 inches pouring
down. The river had been re
ported at a standstill at 7 o’clock
Thursday morning, but the hea
vy rainfall raised it .03 feet
within 24 hours, so that when
the government received its re
port Friday morning, the gauge
at Georgetown showed a stage
of 23.3 feet, or 3.3 feet above the
flood stage.
The heavy rainfall on the up
per Arkansas caused a rise of
eight-tenths foot at Dardanelle,
although a fall of .2 foot was re
ported form Fort Smith, farther
up the river. The river dropped
one foot at Little Rock. The
rise at Dardanelle may bring the
river to standstill in front of this
city or cause a slight rise today.
The district forcaster, in sum
ming up the river situation in
the state, said: “The heavy
rains have caused a rise in the
White River below Batesville.”

The "Sentence Cap.”
A small, limp piece of black doth
la, according to ancient custom, put on
the top of the Judge’s wig In England
before he passee sentence of death,
and Is properly called the “sentence
cap” or “black cap.” Covering the
head waa a sign of mourning among
the Israeli tee, Greeks, Romans and
Anglo-Saxons, and Is referred to In
Samuel 11, 15-80. Putting on the black
cap Is not a grim sign of revenge of
the law, but Is rather a token of sor
row, expressing the regret %he Judge
reels at having to condemn the prig j
onar to death.

A Nervous Woman Finds
Relief After Many Years
Women who suffer from extreme
nervousness, often endure much
suffering before finding any relief.
Mrs. Daniel Kintner, of Defiance,
0., had such an experience, regard
ing which she says:
‘1 had stomach
trouble when I was
eighteen years old
that broke down
my health, and for
years I suffered
with nervousness,
headache, Indiges
tion and nervous
8 p a s m s . The
spasms got so bad
I would have them
three or four times
a week. After try
ing nearly every
remedy recom
mended. I
taking Dr. Miles
Nervine, and I must say it helped me
wonderfully. I have had no severe nerv
ousness for several years.
MRS. DAN KINTNER,
1002 Pleasant St., Defiance, O.
Many remedies are recommended j
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach th. -eat of the
trouble. Dr Miles' Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a be We of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

MRS. McGILL
BROKE DOWN
Gives the Real Facts In Regard t»
Her Case and Tells Dow She
Suffered.
Jonesboro, Art—“I suffered s eon.
plete break down in health, some time
ago,” writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. “I was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One dSy, I got a bottle of CarduL It
did me so much good, I was surprised,
and took some more.
Before I took Cardul, I had headache
and backache, and sometimes I would
cry for hours. Now I am over all that,
and can do ail kinds of housework. 1
think It is the greatest medicine on
earth.”
In the past fifty years, thousands of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely Indicates the great value of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?
Cardul is the medicine yon need.
We urge you to try it
