GRAND DUKE SERGIUS
VICTIM OF BOMB.
Uncle of Czar and Most Tyran

to Pieces in Ancient Rus
sian Capital.
Moscow, Feb. 17. - While
Grand Duke Sergius was driving
today frqm the Nicholas palace
through tfye senate quarter his
carriage w&g followed by two
cabs. \
At the law courts a sleigh in
which were tw& men, one of
■whom was dressed as a work
ingman, went quickly ahead of
| the grand duke’s carriage,
i The sleigh then slowed up to
i allow the carriage to pass, and
at that moment a bomb was
thrown beneath his carriage.
The carriage was blown to
| pieces, nothing but the four
I wheels remaining.
The grand duke was killed in
■ stantly. His head was blown
off, actually' being separated
from his body, which wTas fright
fully mangled.
On the arrest of the murderers,
neither of whom was known to
the police, one of them coolly
said:
ASSASSINS SATISFIED.
“I don’t care, I have done my
job.”
An immense crowd gathered at
the spot and made a demonstra
tion against a number of stu
dents who commenced scattering
revolutionary proclamations.
Within a few minutes of the
explosion, which occurred at p.
m., people might ha\e ueen seen
! gathering up pieces ot woe d
! clothing as mementoes oi the
. tragedy.
When the Grand Duchess Eliz
abeth, widow of the Grand Duke
| Sergius, was informed of the oc
currence she immediately went i
to the scene of the assassination
without waiting to put on hat or
cloak.

HOUSE RAISES
GOVERNOR’S SALARY.
Senate Bill Increasing Pay of
Supreme Justices so Amend
ed—Black Bill Read Twice
in the Senate.
Little Rock, Feb. 17.—By a
vote of 54 to 36 the house this
morning ^opted an amendment
to the Smitns^enate bill concern
ing the increase, in salary of the
supreme codrt judges, raising
the salary of the governor from
$3,000 to $4,000.
The amendment was offered by
Representative John H. Keel of
Jackson county, and a number of
speeches were made by the mem
bers favoring the increase, the
concensus of opinion being that
the present salary of the chief
executive of Arkansas was not
commensurate with the duties
and dignity of the office.
The senate McFerrin appro
priation of $25,000 for the main
tenance of the Arkansas state
guard was also up for considera
tion in the house this morning,
and some opposition to the meas
ure was shown, though a motion
to table the bill was lost by a
vote of 65 to 22.
Two amendments were offered
to the bill, one reducing the ap
propriation to $6,000 and the
other making a reduction to $5,
000. The bill was finally referred
to the committee on militia.
The Black bill, abolishing the
position of financial agent of the
penitentiary and in other respects
leaving the management of that
state institution in Lie same
han.ds as at present, was read
twice in the senate today and re
ferred to the penitentiary com
mittee.

Rock Island Building.
Marshall, Feb. 17.—All doubt
as to the intention of the St.
Louis and North Arkansas rail
road officials apparently has been
settled by the sending of a corps
of surveyors to Leslie on yester
day’s train to start the survey
ing southward to Little Rock to
morrow. The surveying outfit
was shipped down on yesterday’s
train, and men and teams have
been employed to commence
work tomorrow.
It is the general opinion that
the survey will be sufficiently
completed by April to permit the
commencement of construction
work, thereby insuring an early
completion of the road to some
point south. It is the unani
mous desire ,of the citizens here
that the road be extended to Lit
tle Rock instead of to Searcy.
Announcement was made yes
terday by President Winchell that
the Rock Island will build a line
from Traskwood, Saline county,
to Crossett, Ashley county. The
line will be 108 miles in length
and will extend through a part
of the thickest and best forest
land in the state. The country
has never been opened up by a
railroad, and the new line pro
jected by the Rock Island is
looked upon with favor for this
reason.
Next Monday we place on sale
the biggest line of lace at oc a
yard worth 6 l-4c to 12 l-2c. One

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
•of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many 60-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised,, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having j
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the I
large figure 3 in red on the front label.

Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 per bottle.
