ARKANSAS SILVER FIND
Causing 'Excitement at Chester—
^ ■ Landi/’alues Rising.
.—*—
Fort Smith, Ark., April 29.—
There is great excitement at
Chester, about fifteen miles from
here, over the presumed discov
ery of silver. A week ago a
party of Kansas prospectors,
connected with the Great Bend
Kansas Mining Company, went
to Chester ana put aown an jl»
foot hole, which they carefully
. and securely plugged, saying they
had the mine stopped by water.
They then began seeking options
on the property in the immediate
vicinity, and secured quite a
number "before it dawned upon
the people that there was some
thing doing.
Then the price of land went up
1,000 per cent, one man refusing
$8,000 for eighty acres which
cost him but $175. A company
has been organized for develop
ment purposes to be known as
jk the Chester. Mining Company,
gil The Kansas people are to arrive
(thin a week with a rock
her and sufficient smelting
machinery to thoroughly test the
mineral bearing rock.
Engineer Kirk of Frisco, who
is interested, states that three
five-foot veins of anthracite coal
ave been discovered and that a
edge of rock rich in silver hi s
n found.

2 o’clock today Mr. Mullergren;
received a telephone message |
stating that the body of a boy j
had been found below the hoop
factory and asking him to come
down there. Mr. Mullergren
and Mr. McMahon started for
the scene at once, and, on arrival,
found a fisherman named Bacon,
who said his daughter had found
the object floating in the shallow
water and called his attention to
it. The fisherman examined the
little body and, though the face
was swollen, so as to be unrecog
nizable, he identified the cloth
ing and further by an orange
found in one of the pockets. He
embered that before leaving
house on that fatal day Louis
put an orange in his pocket.

Gen. Powell Clayton, ambas

Rock Thursday from the City of
Mexico and will remain in the
state until after the Republican
state convention, which will be
held on May 17. Gen. Clayton
will be at the Capital hotel dur
ing his stay in Little Rock.
The Newark Journal tells the
following story on one of the
county’s Democratic nominees
for the legislature: “Hon. T. J.
Raney was out hunting last Fri
day and killed a bald eagle whose
winsrs from tin to tin measured
five feet two and one-half inches.
The bird was killed while flying.
He also killed a number of ducks
on the wing. If he goes after
big game in this manner when
the legislature meets the Tall
Cypress from Jackson county
will have to be on the alert or he
may have to take a back seat as
a trust buster.’’—Batesville Bee.
RHEUMATISM.
Cost Nothing If it Fails.
Any honest person who suffers with
Rheumatism is authorized to go to their
druggist today and get a bottle of Para
campli, use as directed, and if it fails to
do exactly what we claim, go back to
their druggist and get their money. Par
acamph is recommended as a modern
scientific treatment for all Rheumatic
Swellings and Neuralgic troubles. It re
lieves on Nature’s plan. That is when
applied it opens the pores, penetrates
directly to the seat of the ailment soothing
the inflamed skin, muscles and joints re
ducingt he swelling by removing the con
gestion, drawing out the fever and inflam
mation by inducing sweating. It sweats
the disease out of the body through
the pores of the skin. This is why Para
camph is superior to the many internal
strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom
ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine
the general health. Our guarantee is
made to convince you of our faith in Par
acamph. We have of course, tested its
merits thoroughly in many and various
cases. We know therefore exactly what
it will do. So don’t hesitate, but get a

or three applications you will be convinced
that we claim only for Paracamph exactly
what it will do.

cent and $1.00 bottles. The larger sizes
are cheaper for family use. Write for

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
