BOMBS IN ANTWERP,
German Aircraft Six Thousand
Feet Above City Creates
Panic Among Bel- j

United Press Dispatch.
Antwerp, Belgium, Sept. 2.—A ,
German zeppelin, flying six
thousand feet above the city
dropped bomb® here early this
morning, attempting to destroy
the wireless station of the city,
The explosives' missed and fell
in the suburbs doing little dam
age.
The dirigible was compelled to
withdrew under heavy fire. It is
evident that a German offensive
movement against the city is
now contemplated. The capital
is panic stricken, though only
four civilians were injured by
the bombs.

Important To You.
The talks of the government
health office experts tonight at
the court house upon the “Pre
| vention of Malaria” should inter
est every man and woman in
Newport. We pay no greater
tax in our lowlands than does
the little but dangerous mosqui
to exact of our people.
Rid the South of malaria and
you will build up a new South.
Free our people of the influences (
of malaria and we will work
wonders in development along
every line.
Come out tonight and hear
these men. Let’s make their
mission here profitable to our
city and section by gaining the
information we need to combat
malaria and reduce its tax upon
our growth and the health of
our people.

Four Pink Checks For State.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, September 1. —
Four pink checks, each calling
for $25,000, were Monday turn
ed over to the Arkansas Rail
road Commission by T. S. Buz
bee, general counsel for the C.,
R. I. & P. railroad in Arkansas.
This represents the Rock Is
land’s settlement in full with
the shippers of Arkansas for
the overcharges made while
the rate litigation was pending
It is the difference between the
rate established by the Arkan
sas Railroad Commission, to
which exceptions were taken by
the railroads, and the rate tem
porarily established by the
court.
The work of passing upon the
claims from shippers for a par
ticipation in the division of
this amount, has been completed
by R. P. Allen, acting as special
master and there is no reason
why these shippers should not
immediately get their money. It
does not represent the full a
mount of overcharges claimed,
but it is the amount agreed upon
in a compromise, the shippers
being willing to accept less and
get it now, than to wait several
years more and have the case
rock along in the courts, with a
chance that they would lose out
entirely.
The Rock Island also pays
mileage to the extent of $25,000
to those who hold receipts for
passenger fares paid, but this
mileage has not been called for,
as yet.
NEWPORT’S REPLY.
Newport Accepts The Evidence
And Many Newport Readers
Will Profit By It.
Which is the more weighty
proof—a few words from a
Newport resident, whom we
know and respect, or volumes
from strangers in distant
towns? There can be only one
reply.
Mrs. M. Porter, 416 Hazel St.,
Newport, says: “I had a con
stant ache in the small of my
back. Stooping or lifting made
me suffer intensely and I felt
languid and worn out most of
the time. My kidneys didn’t act
as they should. On a friend’s
advice, I got a box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills from Walker’s
Pharmacy. After using them. I
was free from the ailments.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply sk for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. Porter had.
