KILLOUGH DEFENDS
SENATOR CLARKE.
Two well kno n and influential
citizens of Arkansas at the New
Willard are Hon. 0. N. Killough,
lieutenant governor of the state,
and Capt. John A. Lovewell of
Osceola, sheriff of Mississippi
county.
“I notice,” said Lieut. Gov.
Killough, that a Mr. Branch of
ADntiphis secs fit to air his views
in the Washington Post and
thereby advertise his ignorance
by an attack on our junior sena
tor, Hon. James P. Clarke. Mr.
Branch exhibits a degree of cheek
as well as lack of information in
asserting that the people of Ar
k t nsas will punish Senator Clarke
f >c his late speech on the Pana
i canal. The next time this
Y mphian goes away from home
h had better limit his newspaper
b .. ... . \ \ .
I”, vvs to Tennessee matters,
inrpr*
.dently he knows nothing
.folic sentiment in Arkansas.
1 Our people will sustain Sena
Jr Clarke, and his ability to
Represent them with intelligence
and loyalty will never be called
into question at home. He is a
man of rare courage and intel
lectuality, and his attitude on
the isthmian situation is indorsed
by his people.—Washington (D.
C.) Post. 1
MARSHAL STEPHENS
COMES OUT AGAIN.
This issue contains the an
nouncement of T. S. Stephens as
a candidate for re-election to the
office of marshal of the city of
Newport. Mr. Stephens has
in the past made a splendid city
official, which none deny, and
again announces his candidacy
with the belief that the citizens
and voters of Newport appreciate
the services he has rendered. He
i is known by almost every man,
[ woman and child in the city as
“Off Stephens,” and needs no
words of introduction or com
mendation through the columns
j of the newspapers.

NothtnK Hut Knvy.
Chicago insists that typhoid germs
cannot Ih'e during the 250-mile trip
to St Louis in the drainage canal, but
we know, remarks the St. Louis Re
public, that any germ native of the
Windy City is sufficiently lusty to
swim the Atlantic ocean, land in Eu
rope and organize a germ trust which,
would greatly increase the foreign'
typhoid fever business.
To Improve Flavor of Duck.
The flavor of a duck is much Im
proved by roasting with an orange

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can-1
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the®
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the®
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned 1
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and!
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities. 1
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All*
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The*
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be-1
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,*
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger*
and the food-provider of every cell of the body. if
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood *
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence*
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’s TonicCapsules have been held in hig'hesteea^^^B^
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,*
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy*
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and*
a long list of common ails and ills. SI
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many I
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer. ■
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the.same ■
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not I
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at ■
our risk and be your own iudgre. Michigan Drug- Co.. Detroit. Mich. ■
OR. KERMOTT’S LIVER REGULATOR a preventive and cure lor all Female Complaints t

prevents painful and suppressed menstruation, and brings to all who have been sufferers new life. It ■
is so perfectly mild that a child may take it without harm, but yet powerful and active enough to bring
happiness to ladles who have been long sufferers from their peculiar ailments. It, purities the blood S

which only nature gives. ^ ■
