It seems that Jackson is not the
only county in Arkansas that has bad
roads. Hear this from the Marianna
Index: “Beyond doubt the bad roads
are keeping the country people at
home. They are not coming to town
because it is hard to get here.’’^ r J

LIS^TNIN^ILLS WILD BOARS
Five Ont of 81* Imported from the
Black Forest Struck Together
In Pike County.
Five of six wild boars imported from
the Black Forest In Germany at a cost
of $100 each were lately killed by light
ning at Porter’s Lake, Pike county. Pa.
They were brought over by Weissbrod
& Hess, of Philadelphia, and were in
tended for breeding purposes, and it
was proposed to turn tlieir young loose
in the forest, reports the New York
Sun.
The animals had only just arrived
and were still in their boxes, which
were piled under a tree. When the
storm was at its height a bolt descend
ed, striking the tree and running down
it to the animals. One in. a box on top
of the others escaped, but those below
were lnstuntly killed. It Is said theii
places will be supplied by other impor
tations.
The propagation of wild boars in thh
region Is not a new experiment. Some
wears ago Otto Plock, a wealthy broker
of New York and London, whose sum
mer home was on the west side of the
Shawangunk mountain, not far from
Port Jervis, turned out several wild
boars In his mountain park. Fora time
they thrived until at last they broke
through the inclosure and committed
depredations on the neighboring
farms. The farmers turned out with
dogs and guns, but were never able tc
capture any of them. They were hunt
ed day and night. They finally took up
their'abode in Sullivan county, where
hunters tried' in vain to kill them
Judge W. H. Crane, of this place, broth
er of the late Stephen Crane, was the
only person who successfully broughl
down one of these wild boars. WThat has
become of the remainder of the an!
mals Is a mystery, as they have disap
peared. It is believed they ail died.

Importance.
If Gen. Nelson A. Miles had his waj
the roads of the United States woulc
be equal to t rse of any country or
the globe. He tells a story of an ok
teamster out west who was driving
over a very rough road in the Rookj
mountains shortly after the Geronimt
campaign. He had the general for i
passenger. The wagon was an ok
prairie schooner, without springs o:
cushions, and the general wns vainh
attempting to fall asleep, saj's the Chi

“Rut there was no sleep for me 01
that trip,” says Cen. Miles, “for tL<

HAY IN ROUND BALES.
Hacked lu Thin Shape It Occpple
Le«« Spnce and There Are
Other Advantages.
Hay as well as cotton is put up nowa
days in cylindrical bales, a stand arc
round hay bale being 18 inches in diam
eter and 36 inches in length. Such i
bale packed at the pressure undei
which it would be put up for domestic
use would weigh about 200 pounds; a:
packed for export such a bale woulc
contain about 275 pounds. There ii
put up for army use a bale of the same
diameter, but only 18 inches in length
which contains approximately 111
pounds of hay.
In the cylindrical bale a given quan
tity of hay is got into less than half the
space that it would occupy in a square
bale; and there are asserted foritothei
advantages, including freedom fron
mold, preservation of the sweetnesi
of the hay and greatly reduced combus
tibility.
Thousands of tons of hay in cylin
drical bales have been shipped to the
American army in the Philippines
and large quantities of it have beet
used by the British army in South Af
rica.
LETTERS FROM PEARY.

Letters from Peary, the arctic ex
plorer. for his wife and mother, wht
died recently, were received the othei

ers from Dr. Dedrick, his surgeon, foi
Mrs. Dedrick, and from Samuel Warm
bath, the members of the Stein party
who is remaining for a second year a
Cape Sabine, for his wife in Malden
Mass., and his mother, in Russia]
Poland. None of the letters contain
any news. The one from Peary is dat
ed March 2, 1900, and is from Cape d’Ur
vllle, Grinnell Land. It says that di
visions of his party had started for For
Conger. The latest word from Peary
dated March 31, which has already beei
published, reported that the division:
had all arrived at Fort Conger. Accord
ing to letters received the divisions in
tended to push northward from Fori

( MISS ROSE OWENS, 1
I No. 720 Seventeenth St WASHINGTON^D^C^^
“If every suffering woman If you are a suffering wo
has the same experience with tuuii we would say to you
, Wine of Cardui that I had, that Wine of Cardut seldom
your medicine will be most fftl*s to completely cure any
popular. About a year ago , case of female ills. v\ e say
I began to have a worn out i emphatically, it never fails
tired feeling with lassitude, to benefit, h very day hun
pains in the back and head j dreds of sufferers are writing
which kept increasing every , our Ladies Advisory De
month. I felt that I needed partment. The letters are
something, but to get the opened by persons compe
right medicine was the trou- teut to give advice. Mra.
uu. i AoriA.A Jones was cured by follow
I your Wine of Cardui and only needed to
I take three bottles when I was fully re
1 covered.”
I HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
I has a responsible position in
1 the Government service at
Washington, D. C., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
i system, gives tone to the bodily func
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo
men known to the science of medicine.
ing I he advice which was freely given
her by the Ladies’ Advisory Depart
ment. Miss Owens was cured without
advice by just buying a 81.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri
vacy of her home. No doctor’s ex
amination, treatment or advice is nec
essary. You have read what these two
cured women have written. Is this not
enough to lead you to determine to be
rid of suffering?
August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. H. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
"I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back again and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough."
