MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se
rious Consequences of Neg
lect. _
“Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor,” remarked a sallow
faced, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physician’s office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which .he handed to the j
patient with the customary advice to
‘shake well and follow directions,’ and;
resumed his seat.
“Such cases are frequent,” replied the l
doctor in answer to a question. “The!
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's j
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
tases ai“ prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthyfcand to continue with it at fre
quent intervals during the sickly season. I
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or ;
four times a week will do all of this, be
sides stimulating the digestion, improv
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch. <
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every
where as a system tonic ana bowel regu
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
“Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around
medicine for the family I ever used. During the
Bast ten years I have always kept it in my house,
whenever any of my family show signs of mala
ria, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation
i few doses is all that is needed to make them
well and hearty again.—W. H. McWilliams,

YEGGS ESCAPE
LOOTED BANK
At Dardanelle and Secured
Nearly $5,000—Sixteen Ex
plosions Necessary.
Dardanelle, Oct. 1.—Protected
on all sides by armed pickets,
who warded off all attempts to
reach the building by fusillade
after fusillade of rifle shots,
yeggmen, early this morning,
blew the safe of the First State
Bank, robbing the till of between
$4,000 and $5,000, and escaped
into the darkness. While the
two men looted the bank, others,
estimated at from two to six,
guarded the block in which the
bank building was located, firing
at all who approached.
Citizens, led by John B.Crown
over, president of the bank; Ed
ward Smith, brother of L. T.
Smith, warden at the state peni
tentiary at Little Rock; Will
Rowlks, Ray Davis, Louis
Adams, Ed Wilson and W. D.
Cotton, cashier of the bank, ex
changed volley after volley with
the yeggs, in an effort to reach
the interior of the bank. Tney
were compelled to retreat when
the robbers continued to fire
without sign of withdrawal. For j
nearly an hour citizens attempt-:
ed, by approaching from all
sides, to get the upper hand of
the bandits. On every side they
met resistance, falling back in
disorder when pickets opened
fire.
The robbers were discovered |
at work at one o’clock, when half
the town was awakened by a
loud explosion. The yeggs had
not cut all telephone and tele
graph wires before commencing
work, but had grounded them so
that immediate repair was im
possible. j
For an hour the two robbers
inside the bank worked uninter
ruptedly, while guards stood the
townsmen off with steady firing
Sixteen explosions were counted
by people in the vicinity of the j
bank building. Nitroglycerinej
was used in blowing the safe.
Lookouts stationed for a block
on every side of the bank build
ing stopped the early arrivals
with orders to scatter and keep |
away. Cashier Cotton and Pres- j
ident Crownover approached to;
within a few feet of the bank ;
building in an alley in the rear
of the structure, only to be con
fronted by an armed picket.
Deputy Sheriffs Gault Carpen
ter and Miller hurried to Russell
ville by automobile before day
light this morning to sound the
alarm and organize a posse in
hopes of apprehending the yegg
men.
A negro watchman at the Rock
Island depot reports that four
armed men approached him
while he was tending an engine
near the depot and demanded
water. A few minutes after
wards, he says, two more armed
strangers passed the depot. All
six continued west, the negro
savs.
Constable Joe Lipe, who had
climbed to the roof of a store
house near the depot to prevent
possible escape by the yeggmen
at that point, fired several shots
after the retreating figures. He
was injured a moment later,
not by a shot but by trip
ping and falling from his lofty
position.
The robbers stole $3,500 of
the bank funds and $700 postal
funds, deposited by the post
master. The fixtures and inte
rior of the bank received dam
age placed by bank officials at
$2,000. The losses are amply
covered in burglary insurance,
President Crownover has an
nounced. _

Taxes On Inheritance.
The estate of the late million
aire A. N. Brady of Albany, N. Y.
has paid $1,050,000 inheritance
tax to the British authorities on
$6,577,640 worth of property lo
cated in England. The receipts
from this tax last year in Eng
land exceeded $126,000,000. Dur
ing the present year it has been
imposed on 23 estates valued at
more than $2,000,000.
But on the $65,000,000 of the
estate of the late -J. P- Morgan on
which the appraisal is completed,
the state of New York received
_i rAA aaa :
UIllJ tpttjt/vl/jvuv in umv/i ituuvv/
tax. In other words in 10 times
as much property as Brady had
in England, but two and a half
times as much tax is paid in
New York. If the Morgan es
tate had paid at the rate fixed in
England New York would have
received nearly $10,000,000.
The federal government hav
ing taken to itself the taxation
of incomes, it may be assumed
that the taxation of inheritances
will for a long time to come be
reserved to the states, many of
which now tax property in des
cent. If the principle of placing
the chief taxation burden on
wealth, already approved by
congress, should be adopted at
the state capitals and the rate
on large inheritances should be
heavily increased in the near fu
ture, we should be doing what
has already been done in for
eign countries, where the right
of inheritance is supposed to be
held much more sacred than in
the United States.—Post-Dis
patch.
