ATTORNEY GENERAL
ON THE WAR P.
Mixes Things Up Wit
Secretary Jacobson
day Afternoon
| Him Thro
Little Rock, May 8.—Attorney
General Robert L. Rogers and
Chas. Jacobson, private secre
tary to Governor Davis, had a
personal altercation at 3 o’clock
Sunday afternoon in the govern
or’s office.
The trouble came up over a
discussion in which it is said Ja
cobson called Rogers a liar, and
| a newspaper man told Rogers
! of the epithet. Gen. Rogers was
in his office Sunday afternoon
talking to some friends and re
marked that he was going across
the hall to whip Jacobson.
He went to the door of the
governor’s office and saw Jacob
son standing at the ’phone. The
door was locked, but Jacobson
opened it and invited Rogers in.
Rogers told Jacobson to come
out in the hall so that he could
- whip him. Rogers says that
Jacobson then ran into the gov
ernor’s private office and he fol
lowed him.
Kogers grabbed him by the col
lar and slapped him with his
right hand. By this time, ac
cording to Rogers’ story, Jacob
son was on his knees begging
the attorney general not to
strike him, and reminding him
that he was a Mason and an Elk.
Rogers then slapped him in the
face with his left hand and again
with his right, and pushed him
, • away.
SMALLPOX SITUATION
NOW UNDER CONTROL.
Lonoke, May 8.—The smallpox
situation in the Concord neigh
borhood has improved very much
by this time. Not a single death
has occurred and very few new
cases have developed, compared
to the large number exposed.
The mild form of the disease is
attributed to the warm weather
and a fear is entertained lest it
may break out in a more dan
gerous lorm next winter.
To prevent this vaccination
has been advised and accepted
by the greater part of the peo
ple. The houses which have
held smallpox patients will also
be thoroughly disinfected with
formaldehyde.
LOST FOOT UNDER TRAIN.
Hoxie, May 8. —Dr. R. M.,
Whitefoot of Bozeman, Montana,
a passenger on the Iron Moun
tain got off at this station to get
gf lunch. The train started and he
* ran to catch it, but hadn’t the j
strength to pull himself upon the
step. His right foot slipped un
der the wheeib and was crushed
off. He was sent to the Mis
' souri Pacific hospital.
WHITE MAN SHOT NEGRO.
Lake Village, May 8.—Tom
Lawson, a young white man,
shot Stogerc Chapman, a negro,
yesterday evening as a result of
an altercation. The negro is not'
yet dead, but the physician en-'
tertains nojhope of his recovery.
Lawson is in jail awaiting de- |
velopments.
ROGERS WILL
ENJOIN PAYM ENT. i
Attorney-General Rogers has
! members elected to the general
assembly. It was passed by the
house by a vote of 41 to 28,
whereas Gen. Rogers holds that
it was necessary to have re
ceived 67 votes to be valid. It
appears that $1,000 has already
been drawn on the appropriation,
i The Arkansas state guard is
| having a hard time to secure
|state aid.

DEATH.
^rryville and
-ntified — Mistake in
Burial and B&dy'iuies
Facing the West.
Perryville, May 8.—John V.
Roberts attempted to lecture on
the “Other Side of Life” Satur
day night, but was denied the
privilege of lecturing in the town.
He was denied the court house
and also the school building, and
was to lecture in the Methodist
church, but citizens of the town
gathered at the church and told
him that they objected to him
, lecturing at the church or any
i other place in the city and that
| they positively would not permit
1 it, giving their reasons, some of
them being that he had been
turned down by the Democratic
party, the Masonic fraternity,
; the bar of the state, the city of
| Little Rock and various other
! reasons, and that it was the de
! sire of the citizens that he with
draw his appointment, as he was
an imposition on the good people.
Mr. Roberts, after hearing
their reasons and seeing the de
termination of the citizens, called
off his lecture, but stated that to
satisfy curiosity and to stop the
report that was being circulated
that Dr. Lightle was not buried
in the Rison cemetery at this
place the Lightle grave would be
opened Sunday morning at 10
o’clock, at which time the grave
was opened and a body pronoun
ced to be that of Dr. Dightle was
viewed by a majority of the citi
zens of Perryville.
The remains we^e badly de
composed, but every feature
showed it to be that of Dr. R. G.
j Lightle. The grave remained
open about ten minutes and no
! one that ever saw Dr. Lightle
; and viewed the remains now in
the grave has any doubts that he
is not dead and buried at this
place.
It was about dark when Dr.
Lightle was buried and a mis
take was made in placing his
body in the grave, it facing the
west, which position it still re
tains.

You |
Get Up
In the morning tired, languid,
and frequently with a headache
that is almost unbearable. You
have been nervous, restless and
sleepless night after night, and !
gloomy and irritable during
the day. This nervous exhaus- j
tion a fleet a the heart, lungs and
other organs that depend upon ;
the nerves for motive power. !
Then the stomach fails to di
gest the food ; the heart action
is weak, and circulation poor,
and the kidneys and liver in
active.
What you need is not a stom
ach, head, kidney or liver med
icine, but Dr. Miles’ Nervine to
soothe and feed the nerves and
build nerve tissue.
‘‘My wife was subject to severe men
tal strain, which resulted in nervous !
prostration. The first symptoms were
uncontrollable' crying and melancholy j
spells, which increased to such an ex- |
tent that for over a year she would
have a spell every day of from four I
to six hours duration. She require**,
the constant attention of her physic
ian and attendants. She suffered great
pain and anguish. The best physicians
attending h> r could give no relief, and
she finally became almost of unsound |
mind. As a last resort 1 began giving
her Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and Tonic, anil
noticed that her spells next day were
not so severe, and they gradually dis
appeared altogether. She has had no
recurrence of the spells, and Is gain
ing in health and strength.

We were pained to learn of the j
death of our fr:’ nd Arthur Neilj
at his home in Batesville last j
week. Our acquaintance with
him dates back to when we were!
students in the Arkansas Col-j
lege in the early ’80s. He was >
of a lovable disposition and a I
student of rare ability, which j
was exemplified by his constant!
rise to rank and promotion. Few j
have had the distinction so young!
in years, and truly a noble spirit i
has winged its way to a better:
land. We extend our heartfelt;
sympathy to the bereaved family. !
