SALOON KEEPER SARLO
RELEASED ON BAIL.
Little Rock, July 19.—Joe Sarlo,
who killed J. D. Conant Saturday
morning, was released from custody
Saturday night by Justice Hart and
placed under §2,000 bond to await the
action of the Pulaski grand jury. Sarlo
gave this version of the difficulty:
“It was a case of kill or get killed
with me and I was a little too quick
for him, that was all there was to it.
Conant came in my place five or six
times Friday night bent on trouble,
and I tried to pacify him as best I
could. He had been drinking, but
was not what would be termed drunk.
Further than this I have no statement
to make.”
Conant was shot through the waist,
the ball entering the top band of the
trousers about an inch to the left of
the flap and bored its way entirely
through the body. The bullet struck
the wall on the opposite side and
bounded back to the bar. It was
3lightly flattened as though it had
struck a rib in passing through Co
uant’s body.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.
“If a newspaper man knew how
many knocks he received behind his
back he would adopt another calling,”
remarked a citizen the other day.
The citizen was mistaken. The news
paper man who succeeds expects to j
be maligned by every law-breaker,!
swindler and hypocrite, every carping !
critic and every lover of notoriety j
who is ignored and in fact by all per- j
sons who do not agree with him on |
public and private matters. The
newspaper man who expects to get;
through life without being misrepre- J
sented and unjustly censured should I
make arrangements to die young.— |

LOOKING FOR COMET.
Star gazing being quite :n vogue
just now, a St. Louis astronomer gives j
the following directions for locating1
the newly discovered comet, a portion
of which is now visible to the naked
Bye in the northeastern sky:
Stand facing the northeast at about
9 o’clock, a clear evening.
Look up at an angle of about 45
degrees. You will have no trouble in
seeing Alpha Cygni, a brilliant star of
the first magnitude.
No other star of equal radiance is in
that section of the firmament, unless
it be Vega, which at 9 o’clock will be
almost directly overhead.
Taking Alpha Cygni as your cue,
trace out “The Swan,” a constellation
shaped something like a cross, the
points and center formed of live large
stars, scattered between which are
very small stars.
The lowest star of the cross is called
beta Cygni. The comet is now near
beta Cygni, south of Alpha Cygni.
Do not expect to see anything with
a long tail. The tail is there, two of
them, many miles long, but not yet
visible to the naked eye.
The comet looks like a filmy star J
with a haze around it. It is not as
brilliant by many times as Alpha
Cygni, but, corresponds rather to a
star of the third or fourth magnitude. JS

GENERAL RAIN REPORTED.
________
In so far as Jackson county is con- j
cerned, the rain of Saturday after- !
noon seems to have been general j
from all reports at hand. The local j
gauge recorded a rainfall of .69 of an I
inch.
Cotton and late corn were suffering '
for moisture and the rains have been I
a great benefit to these crops as well i
as to pasturage and hay. Oil Trough |

worse than any section waB also
visited, though passengers from

Headache
Facts.
i.
' Headache is almost an universal ailment; 86 per cent.
' have it at least occasionally.
; n- ;
Headache could always be relieved by means of strong
, opiates, but drugging a pain is not curing it.
III.
It is now possible to cure a headache quicker than an
opiate will relieve it, and to cure harmlessly by removing
f the cause.
i IV.
; SELLS’ HEADACHE POWDERS are a perfect rem
edy. They can’t harm. They relieve the severest head
j
ache in from 20 to 40 minutes. Price, 10 cents.
