(ENGLAND DEMANDS
RUSSIAN DISCLAIMER.
Czar’s Minister Evades English
Minister, Alleging Charges
Were Not Official—Massa
cre’s Victims Buried.
v/ St. Petersburg, Jan. 26.—Sir
Charles Hardinge, British am
* bassador to Russia, has called on
'IPtH^ign Minister Lamsdorff for
r n explanation of the proclama
tion posted in Moscow and other
p> cities telling the people that An
gle-Japanese influence is behind
L the present uprising in Russia.
I Though the placards were
I posted by the authorities them
I selves and printed in the Rusky
ft Invalid, the army organ, Count
■ Lamsdorff replied that he did not
b think the accusations have an
■ official organ. He promised to
I institute an immediate investiga
■ tion. It is doubtful if England
■ will accept the one already given.
B Capt. Grove, the British con
■ sul at, Moscow, met with a chal
m lengexo fight when he called
m Acting Chief of Police Roud
s neff’s attention to the fact that
I the proclamations were endan
| gering the lives and property of
§ Englishmen in Russia.
I , The leading victims of Sun
| day’s massacre in St. Peters
i burg were smuggled secretly in
f to their graves during the mgnt,
at the authorities’ order. It was
planned to bury them publicly,
but the officials feared a demon
stration.
&T .VTE/SIFTINGS.
For libel suits, Perry county
has an undisputabie leadership
that is likely to give its people
the reputatton of having long
tongues. And what could be
. worse to discourage immigration
or better to promote emigration.
Six suits have been filed by
prominent people of Adona
against their neighbors and fel
low lodgemen in the bonds of W.
0. W. for damages aggregating
$35,000. Now, if judgments are
secured in the next term of
court, when the cases will come
up for trial, the cheapness of
talk will become an expression
that does not apply to Perry
county. The charges made
against and by their senatorial
representative, A. W. Rison, al
so promised to be aired in the
it court.
I Howard and Edwin Gould,
grandsons of the famous Jay
Gould, a prodigy in his time, but
whose star has been eclipsed by
I Pierpont Morgan and many oth
\ ers in this latter day, are touring
\Arkansas over some of the lines
ia which they are interested.
* They ride in a special of five
coaches and don’t make very
long stops, at least not in such
> towns as Pine J31uff, where the
' people are clamoring for a new
depot. Both are very young men,
' I though one is president and the
other vice-president of the Cot
as;'-ton Belt.
The Republican state commit
tee in refusing to endorse the
claims of either contestant for
the Texarkana postoffice and
1 leaving the matter to a party
I primary of the patrons of the
e; office thought to avoid the shoals
| of party dissension, but the elec
l tion held for that purpose is
s | being contested and the whole
Wt matter was again brought up to
| the executive committee of the
| state organization, which met in
| I Little Rock Thursday night and
| £ endorsed the claims of J. G.
I I Biekley, present incumbent and
I
j nominee in the recent primary.
' Ben Foreman, who for the past
year has been schooled in in
surgent tactics, is not satisfied,
however, that he was fairly
beaten and proposes to carry his
troubles to the ear of the presi
dent.
The burning of the Hoxie un
ion station (sounds big enough)
was not such a small affair after
all, as the railroad officials say
| that it has been one of the most
costly ever suffered at a similar
sized station, great damage hav
ing heen done to the telegraph
wires. The Iron Mountain and
Western Union wires entered the
building by way of a cable, and
these were at once put out of
business. A new cable was cut
in at the cable pole to the north
of the site of the depot build
ing, run under the tracks of the
Iron Mountain and Frisco
and connected again south of
the station. The instruments
were arranged in the lunch
room of John S. Gibson.
It is said that this is one of the
fastest pieces of repair work
ever done in this section of the
country. The Iron Mountain is
setting in box cars to serve as a
telegraph station. The proprie
tor of the Boaz hotel kindly of
fered the company the use of the
rotunda of his building for the
use of the passengers and as
many rooms as would be neces
sary to accommodate the differ
ent officials there.
FAUST INDICTED
FOR PERJURY.
Searcy, Jan. 26.—The grand
jury has returned an indictment
against Dr. John Faust, charg
ing him with perjury in connec
tion with the trial of John V.
Roberts at Judsonia last Septem
ber. Dr., Faust was the princi
pal witness for the defense in
that trial. Roberts was charged
with violating the grave by par
ticipating in the midnight remov
al of the body of Ed Pitts from a
grave.
It will be remembered that the
body of Pitts was subsequently
palmed off and buried as that of
Dr. R. G. Lightle, on whose life
there was insurance amounting
to $21,000.
In the trial at Judsonia in a
! justice’s court Roberts pleaded
| an alibi, Dr. Faust testifying in
1 substance that he and Roberts
were together at Armstrong
Springs the night Pitts’ grave
was violated.
A bench warrant has been
! served upon Dr. Faust and he
has been granted bail in the sum
of $500.
NEW DRUG STORE.
- I
John T. Jacocks of Little Rock
has recently opened a very nicely
furnished and well stocked drug
store in the E. L. Watson build
ing on Front street and together
with his family has made New-!
port his home for the future.
He is a very pleasant and
clever gentleman and a progress
ive merchant who believes in
pleasing his trade and thus win
ning their confidence and busi
ness.
He has associated with him
Mr. S. R. Hudson, for many
years a popular druggist of this
city and a man of broad ac
quaintance and fine reputation
as a pharmacist. Both Messrs.
Hudson and Jacocks are regis
tered pharmacists, and all pre
scriptions will have their careful
attention. The ijew firm, we
feel sure, will enjoy their part of
the business of our growing city i
and its fine* tributary territory.

PLAN PROPOSED
TO HOLD COTTON.
President of National Ginners’
Association Would Store Cot
ton Till Market Reaches
Ten Cents.
Dallas, Jan. 26. — President
Taylor of the National Ginners’
Association has the following
plan to hold cotton:
Every planter or holder of cot
ton puts one-fourth of his hold
ings in the hands of his banker
to be held till September 15, but
can be sold sooner in the event
cotton goes up to 10 cents per
pound. The banker is to issue a
form of certificate in duplicate to
the grower, one of which will be
sent to the clearing house asso
ciation at New Orleans or New
York and when 750,000 bales
have been deposited the plan to
become effective, otherwise the
cocton to be turned back to the
grower.
The planter is to deposit ware
house receipts for the number of
bales which he wished to be put
up and if desired the banker to
loan him as much as $25 per
bale. The cotton is to be kept
insured at the expense of the
owner and he is also to pay in
terest on money borrowed at the
customary rates. Where there
_ _1_J.1 A. A
axe liu waiciiuuoco meean
be held in cotton yard until
April 1 without damage, after
which time it can be stored at
compress or sent to nearest port
or inland market where they
have facilities for taking care of
the same.
These certificates should be
uniform and so worded that the
cotton cannot be sold until the
price agreed on is reached until
after, say Sept. 15.
By relieving the market of 1,
000,000 bales there will not be
enough left to run the mills and
leave a normal supply in the
spinners’ hands, and at the
hedging markets, like New Or
leans, New York and Liverpool,
where there should be at least
500,000 bales at all times to pre
vent corners.
Do this or some other better
plan if it can be found, and the
price of cotton will take care of
itself if the growers will reduce
acreage 25 per cent or more.

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE 1 ,
WINE^CARDUI
Wine of Cardui is a mild medicine, but a I
powerful tonic that is unrivaled in its success in I
the treatment of the diseases peculiar to women. I
Over 1,500,000 suffering women have been I
cured of troubles that ordinarily are thought to I
require the expensive treatment of specialists, 1
simply by taking this great woman’s tonic. I
Wine of Cardui recommends itself to modest I
women of moderate means, because it can be I
taken in the privacy of the home without sub- K
mitting to a humiliating local examination and I
subsequent dangerous treatment. I
It is not costly and every sufferer can afford it. I
j If you are a victim of female weakness in any form I
Wine of Cardui is the medicine that you should take and I
you cannot afford to lose any time in starting the treat- I
ment. Your trouble is ever growing worse—never better. I
Wine of Cardui never fails to benefit even chronic I
troubles of the most serious nature, and in nine out of 3
ten cases it brings an absolute cure. 1,500,000 cured |
women endorse Wine of Cardui. 1
You should take Wine of Cardui. Ask jour druggist lor It Ml). (
