WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright's Disease,
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
tin? remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses

prove of incalculable value in restoring '
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s hills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the l>ody. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
eases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
Loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.

Announcement.
We are authorized to announce the candidacy
of Walter Beard for city marshal subject to the
action of the voters of Newport in the election
of April 3, 19 :6.
The favorite argument of the
advocate of the town cow run
ning at large is “Why don’t you
put a good lock on your gate?”
Our answer is “Show us a lock
tine town cow can’t undo.” No
inventive genius lives who can
make a simple lock that will
baffle one of these town cows,
and if you get a complicated
lock half the people who go
through such a gate will leave it
unfastened. So there you are.
The conveniences of city life
must come at some sacrifice of
privileges that would be in order
upon the farm, and the running
at large of stock works too great
a hardship and trial upon people
who want their yards to look
well and their homes attractive,
that a few may pasture their
cows, not upon the streets, but
upon the lawns of a fellow
citizen.
The streets of Newport are
practically barren of any sus
tenance for stock and the coun
cil did right in ridding the city
of a nuisance. No citizen should
want his cow fed upon some
neighbor’s yard or merchant’s
bale of hay and he can hardly
object to the ordinance just
adopted by the council.
Pasturage is not expensive ana
the man who is able to own a
cow is better able to pay for it
than his perhaps poorer neigh
bor is to have his yard ruined
some rainy night.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
The people of Newport, who
have been objecting to the town
cow running at large, ought to
stand squarely behind the coun
cil in the ordinance just adopted.
The members will be criticized
and it is your duty to uphold j
them.

His friends had expected hii

)ind kept a careful tab on
the vote. At the end of the roll
call when it was apparent that
his vote would save the governor
all eyes were turned in his direc
tion.
It was then that he cast the
vote that saved the governor,
and gave Davis the biggest cam
paign card that could possibly
have been played before the
people. Dr. Myers was inter
ested in a pearling bill that af
fected his people directly and he
did not want to offend the gov
ernor and jeopardize his bill.
His bill was, however, defeated
and he charged the governor
with the responsibility for its
death.—Little Rock Democrat.

When several days ago, the
Iron Mountain fast mail, carry
ing the mail to the southwest,
was late seven hours many un
complimentary things were said
of the management under which
such conditions could exist, says
the Little Rock Democrat. But
that the ’Frisco train has been
delayed three days in succession
the past week seems to escape
the attention of these people.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
the fast mail on the ’Frisco was
delayed badly. On Thursday it
was delayed by being caught be
hind a freight wreck. This was
caused by a brake beam falling
and derailing a number of Cars.
Friday it was behind still an
other freight wreck and Saturday
was delayed a number of hours
by a driving-spring on the En
gine dropping.
