CONTRACTOR KILLED
AT FORT SMITH.
Fort Smith, April 4.—Sam
Spencer, a prominent contractor
of this city, was murdered last
night on his way home from the
democratic rally. He left a sa
loon on Texas corner with an un
known man. About an hour af
terward he was found dead on a
vacant lot, his coat cut in a num
ber of places and shot through
the heart.
Near his left hand was a pis
j tol of thirty-eight calibre,- but he
was shot with a pistol of forty
one. He is supposed to have
been set upon by a highwayman
and attempted to defend himself.
The family say he was never
| known to carryi a revolver.

BAD HEALTH.
Worry, Overwork, Hasty Eating, Ex
cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of
Sleep, Neglect of Nature’s
Calls. These Bring on the
Deadly Bright’s Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.
Kidney disease is the enemy we have
most to fear as a result of the feverish
restlessness of modern civilization. It
is a treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifling symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re
lieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy glow
of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.
Sold Everywhere. Price SI.00 eer bottle.
TAX THE “DRUMMER” PAYS
A Considerable Item In Commercial
Traveler’s Expense Account In
ICeet European Countries.
Three or four drummers, says
Comfort, had engaged in a warm
discussion over the bane of the
drummer’s existence on the road,
the “drummer’s tax”—not so bad
as it used to be, however, when
small towns all over the country
levied tribute on every traveling
man who visited them.
“By Jove,” said a man from a
New York silk firm, “you ought
to try it ovet on the other side.
What they do here isn’t to bs
spoken of in comparison. Here
ft is merely a small local matter.
Over there it is national. At least
: it is for any of us who come from
! foreign countries. In Denmark,
for Instance, there is an annual
tax of $42.88 if a man represents
one house and half that for each
other house represented. In Nor
way you have to have a trade pass
good for 30 days, costing $26.80.
Prance is easier and you don’t
have anything but a business
passport, which costs no mors
than you want to pay. In Hol
land you have to have an indus
i trial tax receipt, which costs six
I dollars. In Sweden* the price is
the same as in Norway, $26.80,
and if you try to get out of it you
i will catch a fine of from the price
4V» A 4vtn 1$ a n na mm w #1 O A m a J
they are strict about it, too.
“In Austria you have only te
•how a proper trade license and
in Switzerland a business pass
port. They don’t cost any more
than you want to give up to the
chaps who let you have them. In
Russia the price is $25.75 as trade
tax and $5.15 extra as a communal
tax. And if yon are a Jew yoa
don’t want to go to Russia to sell
goods. You may be all right, bat
; Russia doesn't like that kind and
shows it by pushing the ‘drnmmev
tax’ on Jews up to $275.50, be*
•ides the communal tax of $5.1&
England’s the place, though,
where you want to go. That’s ths
great free trade lend and you can
go anywhere and everywhere and
aell to anybody and everybody and
never pay a penny. They are so
free over there that, by Jove, yon
almost feel like asking the conn
bey to pay you a few hundred •
$Hr }ost because you are there.*

How Is
Your Heart?
Is your pulse weak, too slow,
too fast, or does it skip a beat?
Do you have shortness of
breath, weak or hungry spells,
fainting,smothering or choking
spells, palpitation, fluttering,
pains around the heart, in side
and shoulder; or hurt when
lying on left side?
If you have any of these
I symptoms your heart is weak
or diseased, and cannot get
better without assistance.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
strengthens weak hearts, and
rarely ever fails to cure heart
• disease. Try it, and see how
quickly you will find relief.
“About January 1st. 1902, I took
down with weakness and dropsy,
and gradually grew worse. I was told
by ray family physician that my case
was hopeless. My neighbors and fam
ily had given me up to die. My
limbs and body were swollen to one
third larger than normal size, and
I water had collected around my heart.
I For at least three months I had to sit
propped up in bed to keep from smoth
ering. I sent for five bottles of Dr.
| Miles' Heart Cure, and by the time I
had taken them all I was entirely
cured. I feel better than I have for
twenty years, and T am able to do
any kind of work on my farm. My
attending physician told me that If it
hadn’t been for Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
I would now be in my grave.”

the first bottle will benefit. If It fails
