Constipation shortens life. It kills by inches, but none

due to a morbid condition of the liver that can be over

Sells’

if persistently used, are a radical cure for constipation.
They do even more, for with the disappearance of the

The announcement is made from the
office of General Superintendent W.
T. Tyler of the Iron Mountain that,
effective next Sunday, August 23, reg
ular daily passenger service will be

portant branch railroads in the state.
The passenger train will run daily,

1:30 p. m. On the return trip the train
will leave Cotter at 2 p. m. and reach

This service, being daily, except

tory.
There will also be two local freight
trains on the road which will make
uany trips except »unaay. une or
these will run between Newport and
Batesville and the other will run be
tween Batesville and Cotter.
On July 1 the White River exten
sion from Mount Olive to Buffalo was
opened for business and a tri-weekly
service was inaugurated. On August
8 the road was opened up to Cotter
and the same service was extended to
Cotter. The tri-weekly service was
intended to be only temporary and it
was announced at the time that a new
schedule would be put iuto effect as
soon as it could be arranged.
Mr. Tyler, Mr. Hartigau and Train
master Hobbs made a trip over the
branch Saturday, preparing for the
schedule aunounced Wednesday.
The road has been surveyed and
work is in progress from Newport to
Carthage, Mo., and this will ultimately

CRABTREE COMMITS SUICIDE.
Batesville, August 19.—James Crab
tree, a man about 70 years of age,
living near Paroquet, this county,
committed suicide yesterday evening.
The deed was done by placing the
butt-end of a single-barrel shotgun
against a stump, the other end against
his head, then pulling the trigger.
Sickness and weakening is given as
the cause. Coroner M. M. Stewart
held an inquest last night. He leaves
a wife and several children.
NEGRO KIDNAPERS
REPORTED CAPTURED.
Fort Smith, Aug. 19.—At midnight
last night “Red” Rogers parhapB the
best known riding deputy of the ter
ritory, brought into Fort Smith Bill
Hicks, a negro, and his white wife,
who are supposed to belong to the
gang which kidnaped the little white
girl from her home in Fort Gibson on
Sunday.
The couple passed Fort Smith in a
boat yesterday afternoon about 3
o’clock rowing hard. A county offi
cer had been stationed at the river
bank to watch for the coming of some
of the gang and allowed the man and
woman to pass without challenge.
Immediately after the skiff passed
here, word was sent to Muldrow and
“Red” Rogers mounted a horse and
rode to Van Buren, and, with a posse,
came up along the west bank of the
river. He found Hicks and his wife
on what is known as the Davis place,
about a mile from Van Buren, and
took them into custody.
Hicks denied that he was with the
gang which lired upon Walton and bis
party and killed Pate. The woman
affirms that the girl rescued was her
daughter, but this is doubted, for the
reason that Hicks at one time lived
here and had no daughter then, and
since he has resided in the territory
his neighbors have seen nothing of a
white girl connected with his family.
Rogers and his prisoners remained
here until 3 o’clock this morning and
then took the trail to Muldrow. While
acre me woman uecuneu io lain ana
spent the time sleeping in a chair in
front of one of the restaurants, seem
ingly wholly unconcerned.
Deputy Rogers said while here that
another negro had been captured
when he left Muldrow, makinfa four of
the gang, including the white woman,
who have been caught.
INJUNCTION STILL STANDS.
Little Rock, Aug. 20.—Advocates of
the divorcement of the Eighth ward
from the city of Little Rock met with
disappointment yesterday morning,
when Chief Justice Bunn of the su
preme court denied a petition asking
for the dissolving of the injunction
granted heretofore in the case. The
injunction restrains the declaration ol
the result in the vote taken by the
Eighth ward on the question involving
divorce from the city of Little Rock.
Counsel for the separationists
sought also to compel the city of Little
Rock to prepare the cause for sub
mission on the first Monday in Octo
ber.
TABOR ENTERS DENIAL.
The morning after a recent visit of
Rev. E. A. Tabor of Little Rock,
editor of the Searchlight, to Pine
Bluff, the Courier announced in flam
ing headlines that this apostle of pro
hibition had been seen drinking in a
saloon on East Second avenue and
was seen to leave there in the direc
tion of the questionable resorts on
East Barraque street.
The charges caused quite a scandal
and commotion among the church
people of Pine Bluff and Rev. J. M.
Hawley, pastor of the First Methodist
church, addressed a letter to Tabor
demanding a statement from nim. In
answer the accused denies as wholly
false and slanderous the charges made
and imputes them to “a deep laid, re
vengeful scheme on the part of his
whisky and gambling enemies.”
PRAYER MEETING NOTICE.
The members and congregation of
the Presbyterian church are hereby
notified that the weekly prayer meet
ing for this week will be held on Fri
day evening at 8 o’clock, instead of
Thursday evening. The subject for
the prayer service will be “The So'cret

It is also suggested that the mem
bers of the choir come prepared to do
some practising after the prayer ser
vice is q,ver. R. B. Willis.
