BLIND TIGER BLOWN UP.
Jonesboro Joint Put Out of Business
By Dynamite, Which Blew Up
Bar fixtures and Lair
Of the Tiger.
That Jonesboro is hot on the
vx “tiger’s” trail there’s no deny
ling. The Law and Order league,
^composed of the city’s best busi
S<*!s men, have been making
to „|very legal effort to rid the city
of!its joints, and their efforts
have been very effective in mak
ing the illicit business unprofita
ble.
On Sunday morning the rear
end of the “blind tiger” being
run in the building whose front
was occupied by a small restau
* riant run by Jim Harris, nearly
opposite the American hotel, was
blown up with dynamite.
About twelve feet square of
the rear wall was blown.out, the
floor partially wrecked and the
bar and other fixtures completely
smashed. All window lights in j
close proximity were broken and
a man sleeping in the West]
Plains house adjoining was
cut on tne nose by a piece of
glass from a shattered window.
About fifteen feet of fuse had
- ■ been used to touch off the ex
plosion, which occurred about 2
o’clock in the morning and was
heard over nearly the entire city.
The affair is a my stery. Har
ris claims that he closed up and
locked his place of business to
go home about an hour before
the explosion occurred.
OFF ON A JAUNT.
Two Paragould Boys, Armed With Shot
Guns, Make a Mysterious Exit
Purposes Unknown.
Conrad Hampton and Walter
Hoskins have given their friends
the slip. They armed them
selves with a shotgun apiece and
boarded the south bound Cotton
Belt Monday morning, not giv
ing their destination. The pre
dictions as to what they went
for are manp, several contend
ing that they are traveling
through the state to test the
quarantine law and capture the
cadets of the Arkansas state
militia, while others are confi
dent that they went to Ports
mouth, N. H., to “butt in” on
the peace conference between the
Japs and Russia for the purpose
of bluffing Witte into accepting
the terms of Japan, thereby do
ing the world a great service and
incidentally winning fame and
fortune. The majority of their
friends, however, think they are
at Newport, Ark., fishing, hunt
ing big game, little game, pearls
and trouble, and fighting mos
quitoes, insects and river water.

Friction Over Quarantine.
Little Rock, Aug. 27.—The
friction between the state board
■ of health and the state guard
over the quarantine regulations
has reached the point where
prompt action is deemed neces
sary. It is freely predicted that
members of the board will ten
der their resignations if Gov.
Davis fails to sustain them in
the controversy.
Dr. R. B. Christian, secretary
of the board, called on Governor
Davis at his residence to discuss
the situation with him and it is
said was treated with scant
courtesy by the chief executive.
Dr. Christian declined to make
any statement about the confer
ence, but said the present condi
tion could not be maintained
much longer. In a word, the
administration does not appear
to be showing much considera
tion for the state board of health,
which claims that the state guard
is exceeding its authority in
many instances.
At the same time Drs. Christ
ian and Cantrell and Gen. Haynes
say they desire to do nothing
that will impair the effectiveness
of the existing quarantine.
BODY FOUND IN WHITE RIVER.
Winslow Reports Finding Mutilated Re
mains of Supposed Suicide.
Winslow, Aug. 27.-Yesterday
the body of a man with the jugu
lar vein severed was found in
the west fork of White river,
about two and a half miles from
here. There was nothing on his
person which would lead to
identification but a slip of paper
on which was written “L. Stoub,
Van Buren.”
The man was about 50 years
of age, heavy of build and wore
a luxuriant mustache. He bought
something to eat at one of the
stores here Thursday, and when
last seen had started up the
track, going north.
Mayor Sharp impaneled a jury
and held an inquest. A verdict
of suicide was rendered. The
body was buried here.
The clothing has been pre
served to insure identification
should there be inquiry.
YELLOW FEVER REACHES NATCHEZ
Thirteen Cases Admitted to Exist in
Mississippi City.
Natchez, Miss., Aug. 27.—
Physicians of the Natchez board
of health at noon today examin
ed and pronounced as yellow
fever the cases of two patients
a white woman and a negro man.
Examining further, five ne
groes convalescent from yellow
fever were found in the north
east end of the town, together
with seventeen suspicious cases
of sickness, thirteen of which are
undoubtedly yellow fever.
The infection is traced to a
negro woman who came from
New Orleans on July 19.
Lake Providence, La., reports
five new cases, making a total
of fifteen.
A New Anti-Trust Suit.
The Paragould Soliphone prints
the copy of a complaint filed in
the Greene county circuit court
under the provisions of the new
H-net law hv the orosecuting
attorney of that circuit. Viola
tion of section 6 of the new law
is charged in the complaint,
which is filed against a local con
cern.
Briefly stated, the allegations
are: That a citizen of Paragould
purchased a car load of soda
water in Poplar Bluff, Mo., and
had it delivered to him at Para
gould to be sold at that place;
that immediately a local soda
water concern which had been
selling soda water at $1 per case
of forty-eight bottles, reduced
the price to 70 cents per case,
with the express and avowed
purpose of driving its competitor
out of business and destroying
competition in the sale of soda
water in the town of Paragould.
This, it is averred, constituted
a violation of the anti-trust law,
and the state prays judgment in
the sum of $2,000.
The suit is of interest and none
the less important because it is
not against one of the big trusts
and because its purpose is not to
destroy a price agreement, but
rather to prevent the stifling of
competition. — Little Rock Ga

POPLAR BLUff TEAM GOES TO BAD
Told Hard Luck Story of Being Robbed
Down in Newport —failed to Make
Good on Home Grounds and
Manager Disbands Team.
•
The following will fully ex
plain itself:
Poplar Bluff, Mo., Aug. 27.—
One of the largest crowds seen
at Sportsman’s park witnessed
the undoing of base ball in Pop
lar Bluff today when the New
port team walloped the earth
with the Poplar Bluff team and
shut them out by the score of 9
to 0.
The Poplar Bluff team came
from Newport with a hard luck
story to the effect that they were
“robbed” down there last week.
The local fans were indulgent
enough to believe that possibly
they were given the worst of the
Newport series a little and were
out in force today to see the Pop
lar Bluff boys “mop up” with
the team from Jeff’s state, but
after the fourth inning they
were all convinced that the rob
bery story was a hoax and that
they were simply outclassed by
the Newport team.
The game by innings:
123456789
P. Bluff 00000000 0-0
Newport 00241200 0—9
Rnndv and Austell did the bat
tery work for Newport, Wagner,
Bockwitz and Grey for Poplar
Bluff. Bandy let the Bluff lads
down with three hits, while the
Newport team batted two pitch
ers all over the lot and piled up
ten hits.
Owing to the poor showing
made by our team today Bruce
*Hays, manager of the Poplar
Bluff team, will close the season
at the conclusion of the present
series.
Later in the evening Manager
Hays decided to cancel the two
remaining games and disband.
The Newport team returned
home Sunday night.

bath house the Wellington bar,

THE EVILS OF “
CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti
pated and Everyone Should Know
the Risk He is Running When
He Fails to Promptly
Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to
Which He or She May be Exposed
is Sure to Result Seriously.
There are two ways to remove consti
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowels with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injures the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to,use a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful influence behind it. Prickly
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just
as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics,
and combines all the tonic and strength
ening properties necessary to perma
nently cure the habit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine prickly Asb Hitters with the
large figure is in red on the front label.

Headache
If subject to headache, take
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills when
you feel the first indication of
an attack, and you will find
that they rarely ever fail to
step further progress.
Pain weakens the nerves, and
the longer you suffer, the more
frequent will be the attacks.
On the contrary, if the
nerves are relieved of this
weakening influence, the at
tacks will be less frequent, and
finally disappear altogether.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
contain no opium, cocaine, mor
phine or chloral in any form.
They are absolutely harmless
if taken as directed, and will
have no’other effect, except to
drive out the nain.
"Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are all
right, and I can recommend them to
any one in need of a remedy for head
ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind.
My health is not very good, and I am
subject to frequent attacks of severe
headache, but since J began taking
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills 1 do not
suffer from that trouble as I used to.
They ne\er fail to give relief in a few
minutes, and if taken promptly on the
approach of headache will prevent an
attack from coming on. Pain Pills
prevent, as will as cure.”*
