Clarendon Puts Up Bars.
Clarendon Aug. 28. — The board
of health has tightened the lines
of the city quarantine, and now
no health certificates are recog
nized from anywhere.
Before entering Clarendon a
person must first write to the
local board ot health and obtain
a permit, and these will be
granted sparingly. Clarendon
ians away from home will also
come under this rule. Drum
mers will not be admitted under
any circumstances!
STATE BOARD RESIGNS.
| Majority of Members of Health Board
Take This Step Because Gov
ernor Has Shorn Them of
Their Authority.
Little Rc>9k, Aug. 28.—Four
members of the state board of
health at 12 o’clock today mailed
to Gov. Davis their resignations
on account of the friction that
has arisen between the board and
the administration and Davis’
action yesterday in assuming
full charge of the quarantine sit
uation, giving orders that spe
cial permits of the board issued
to Louisiana persons be disre
garded and that no more charges
; be made for health certificates.
The members who resigned are
j Drs. G. M. D. Cantrell, presi
dent; R. B. Christian, secretary;
W. H. Miller and W. B. Hughes.
This leaves only two members,
Dr. W. W. Jackson of Jonesboro
and Dr. W. A. Abington of
Beebe.
The board says:
“This action is taken because
we can not longer occupy posi
tions of responsibility and at the
same time be interfered with and
shorn of our authority as a state
board of health.
“We instituted and with the
aid of the state military have
1 successfully conducted until re
| cently an effective and reason

du ic state uai aiuiuv* ^
case of yellow fever has appeared
in Arkansas. We have earnestly
advised the raising of all local
quarantines within the state and
reliance altogether on th£ state
quarantine so that the business
and social interests of the state
t might be as little interfered with
as possible and the necessity for
the use of health certificates be
largely obviated.
“We do not wish longer to be
responsible for a quarantine
we cannot control, \ and one
which, at first both effective and
conservative, is now fast becom
, ing a wild, frenzied shotgun
affair.”
Trains to State Line.
„ Owing to the changes in the
quarantine regulations the Iron
j Mountain is now operating trains
j to the state line on its Valley
'division. These trains turn at
the state line and come back to
Little Rock. At this point two
sidetracks care for the changing
necessary. Beyond the state
line trains are operated from
! Monroe. La., to the line and re
i turn. The trains are being op
' erated to the state line irom Lit
j tie Rock to carry such passen
gers as may desire to go into
Louisiana and to carry United
States mail and express matter.

El Dorado, Aug. 28.—Judge L.
A. Byrne came over from Texar
kana Saturday vand delivered his
opinion in the contested case of
Y. F. Goodwin against W. J.

DISGUSTED AND DISBANDED.
Game Sunday in Which Newport Made
Monkeys of Locals Was Largely Re
sponsible for Downfall of
the “Champions.”
m •
The Poplar Bluff base ball
team is a thing of the past, says
the Poplar Bluff Citizen. The
explosion occurred yesterday aft
ernoon shortly after the drub
bing administered them by the
Newport team. The game yes
terday was the direct cause, pf
the disbanding of the club and
will probably marx the closing
for several years of semi-profes
sional base-ball in this <iity. W.
B. Hays, who has worked un
ceasingly for the team and the
upbuilding of the sport in this
city, is one of the most disgusted
men we have seen for some time.
Tne game Yesterday between
Newport and Poplar Bluff was
by far the rottenest thing that
was ever pulled off in this .city.
For the first inning it looked
pretty good to the large crowd
present but the good part was
so dreadfully short that it didn’t
count.
P. J. Hynes pitched the first
inning for the local team and
let the visitors down without a
thing. His arm gave way on
him and Wagoner went in the
box for the “Champions’ (?)
with the result that Newport
mopped up the earth witn the
idols of oase ball fans of this
city, and the home team went
down to defeat by the awful
drubbing of 10 to 0. The visi
tors simply made monkeys of
! the home team and did not
make more scores simply be
i cause they got tired of running
around the bases.
THE SLOW TRAIN.
Bruce Hays Tells of His Experience on a
Houck Train.
•_{
W. B. Hays, manager of the
fizz mill, base ball team, opera
; house and other things, had oc
| casion recently to ride on the
Houck road from Cape Girardeau
to Perryville, says the Poplar
Bluff Citizen. He gives his ex
1 perience in this way:
“The train stopped frequently.
Bruce became restless and trou
blesome. A cow on the track
caused a halt; then the train
started, continued the journey
for half an hour or so and then
: — another stop.
“What’s wrong?’’ queried Mr.
Hays of the conductor.
* * A n/Mir An f Vi A ^
“But I thought you drove'it
off?”
“So we did,” said the conduc
tor, “but we’ve caught up with
it again.”

Another Scholarship.
The Independent holds another
$40 scholarship in the Memphis
Commercial College, good for a
complete unlimited course of
bookkeeping or shorthand, which
will be sold the first applicant
for $25.
You save $15 and get a scholar
ship in the best commercial col
lege of the Mississippi valley, or
if you prefer, the scholarship is
good at Tyler, Texas, one of the
oldest and perhaps the best
known school of its kind in the
South.

Prevent
As Well As Cure
Headache
If subject to headache, take
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills when
you feel the first indication of
an attack, and you will find
that they rarely ever fail to
stop further progress.
Pain weakens the nerves, and
the longer you suffer, the more
freqflent will be the attacks.
On the contrary, if the
nerves are relieved of this
j weakening influence, the at
tacks will be less frequent, and
finally disappear altogether.
ur. miles Anil-rain x ins
j contain no opium, cocaine, mor
phine or chloral in any form.
I They ire absolutely harmless
if taken as directed, and will
have no other effect, except to
drive out the pain.
"Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are all
right, and 1 can recommend them to
any one in need of a remedy for head
ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind.
My health is not. very good, and I am
subject to frequent attacks of severe
headache, but since 1 began taking
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills I do not
suffer from that trouble as I used to.
They never fail to give relief in a few
minutes, and if taken promptly on the
approach of headache 'will prevent an
attack from coming on. Pain Pills
prevent, as well as cure.”
MRS. WM. PEDRICK,
Gloversville, N. V.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are sold by
