MRS. LOUISE WEINMEISTER.
_
Mrs. Louise Weinmeister, the
wife of Jonn C. Weinmeister. liv

morning at 12:06 o’clock from
paralysis of the brain. She had
been sick for two weeks and was
recovering, when paralysis set in
Monday.
Burial Thursday morning at
Hickory Grove graveyard.
The deceased was 75 years of
age and was converted to Chris
tianity in 1875 and at the time of
her death was a devout member
of the Baptist church. She was
a loving wife, and the husband
and three sons have the sympathy
of the community in their grief.
DOES NOT CHANGE ISSUE.
The opinion of eminent counsel
in the employ of the insurance
companies, that the provision of
the Logan anti-trust bill, which
precludes such corporations from
belonging to a rating board any
| where on earth, as unconstitu
I tional, does not in anyway lessen
i the necessity for the repeal of
! this act.
If the measure is unconstitu
tional, why should even its advo
cates wish to continue its farcical
existence; if it be valid, then the
dangers of its enforcement are
just as live, as they ever were,
before its constitutionality had
been questioned. The legislature
cannot escape its responsibility
by pushing forward this doubt
as to the law’s legality.
No one contends thac the home
and mutual companies are suffi
cient to carry the insurance of
this state. No one could in the
face of the Hot Springs fire and
yet with this acknowledgement
of the need and necessity of old
line fire insurance, many seem
content to go elsewhere, to Mem
phis and St. Louis to secure this
insurance.
Even this avenue of escape
from the baneful effects of the
law entails hardships and disad
vantages that are to be avoided
if possible. We lose the agent’s
commissions turned from our
channels of trade into the busi
ness of other states, and any ad
justment of losses offered by the
insurance companies must be
accepted as the only recourse is
through the courts of other
states. The greatest evil of this
probable outcome will be that in
surance companies not licensed
in this state will be able to fix
and raise rates and the people of
Arkansas will be powerless to
regulate or restrict them. In
trying to drive the trusts from
the earth the people of Arkan
sas are in a sense left at their
mercy.
CHOOSES “THE KATY’S
FOR GOING TRIP.
Little Rock, March 7.—Official
announcement was made yester
day that will settle the question
of the probability of President
Roosevelt visiting Arkansas on
his way to Texas. He may re
turn by way of Arkansas over
the iron Mountain or tne cotton
Belt lines, but the announcement
made yesterday decided the
question as to what route would
be taken on the trip to the
southwest.
Th£ Missouri, Kansas & Texas
officials at St. Louis yesterday
made the announcement that
they had received information
from Secretary Loeb stating that
the “Katy” had been, selected
by President Roosevelt for the
special train which will carry
him from St. Louis to Texas and
the southwest. The first stop,
it is stated, is to be at Sherman,
Tex., and Fort Worth, Dallas,
Galveston and San Antonio will
be visited.

school of the stage, and played
ingenue and soubrette parts with
several good stock companies.

Take
Care
Of Your Heart.
It is the engine that forces
the blood to every part of the
body; this blood conveys the
nourishment that makes flesh,
bone and muscle; it also car
ries off the worn-out particles.
If the heart flutters or palpi
tates, it is weak, and is work
ing imperfectly, so that the
body does not get this nourish
ment ; it also fails to throw off
the impurities, and they re
main to poison the system.
If it is irregular, skips beats,
or is painful, the heart is prob
ably “leaky” and the circulation
poor. These conditions are
dangerous. You can make
your heart well, and keep it
so, with Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure,
which is a heart medicine and
tonic that strengthens the
heart nerves and muscles.
‘‘I have been a sufferer for years
from nervousness and weak heart, and
i I have tried all the doctors In the
i community. They all told me that I
* had heart trouble, but they failed to
help me. My druggist prevailed upon
me to try Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure, and
Restorative Nervine, saying that if
1 the first bottle did not benefit me he
would return the money. Every dose
helped me from the time I began tak
ing it, and after awhile my trouble
was gone entirely.”
