ROGERS STANDS PAT
FOR FULL ASSESSMENT.
Though Governor and Other
Member of Board Will Ask
Courts to Ratify Com
promise With Railroads.
Little Rock, March 30.—The
state board of railway assess
ment and its special counsel,
Senator J. P. Clarke, yesterday
decided to submit the ratification
of the proposed compromise to
Judge Jacob Trieber of the United
States district court and Chan
cellor J. C. Hart of the Pulaski
chancery court, before whom the
cases are pending with refer
ence to the injunction against
certifying out the alleged exor
bitant assessments of 1904 and
1903.
The matter was set for 2 p. m.
today in the United States dis
trict court and should the court
ratify the compromise of $334,
000 a force of clerks will be em
ployed sufficiently large to certify
out the assessments to the va
rious county clerks that the col
lections may be made before
April 10.
It is held by members of the
board that as the board of assess
ment and not the state is the
party to the suit. Attorney Gen
eral Rogers’ consent to the com
promise is not necessary. He
contends otherwise, however,
and still refuses to accent the
compromise, believing that he
would be able to win the whole
amount of $529,000 by fighting
the case through the courts.
TO THE INSURING PUBLIC.
For many years this agency
has written unquestioned and un
questionable fire insurance in
companies that, with two or three
exceptions, have been compelled
to withdraw from the state on
account of the anti-trust law.
However, we now represent 14
old line stock companies, with
paid-up cash capital and with in
demnifying bonds, (not Fidelity
bonds, note the difference), and
are prepared to issue you insur
ance just as reliable as any we
have here-to-fore written, to the
limit of the carrying capacity of
the companies.
We propose, as we have always
done, to see that your losses are
promptly and fairly adjusted and
can certainly render you better
service than can strangers or
outsiders.
We write farm property and
risks in adjacent towns, and will!
give prompt attention to all ap- j
plications. j

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,
the 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
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
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 bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the body. 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
cases. 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 iu red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 per bottle.

"Soon after I began to take 1
Wine of Cardui I could see that
I was beginning to get back
my strength."
That ia the comment Mrs. Seymour
makes.
If you are sick you can take Wine of
Cardui %ud secure health and strength. If
other medicines and other treatment hare
failed, that will make no difference. Few
ffc 'MraJ?Se!IImur^ women hare taken Wine of Cardui at first.
CmSlKpP^* ^7 far the greater number of Wine of
op left Cardui cures are women who could not
seoure relief elsewhere. All druggists sell $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.

No. 48 Straight St., Grand Rapids, Mioh. ^
I am pleased to endorse Wine of Cardui as I found it so beneficial to
restore my strength after my baby was born. I could not seem to get well ■ j
enough to be up and able to do my work, and as I had been in bed for sue I
weeks this was rather serious, but soon after I began to use Wine of Cardui I
could see that I was beginning to get back my strength. In another week
I was able to sit up most of the day and in a month I was able to be up and 1
do most of my work. I think it is A f J
splendid medicine for a woman and \ffiA4\
^can certainly give it highest praise. TBBA8DBBB> W0MAK,8 ™TBIAL MAOOB. ^
