COURTS MAY LIMIT
SCOPE OF LAW.
Legal Counsel Advises Insurance
Companies to Remain, Hold
ing That Law is Practi
cally Unconstitu
tional.
Little Rock, March 6. —L. B.
Leigh of L. B. Leigh & Co., gen
eral agents, left last night for
New York in response to a tele
gram to attend a meeting of the
National Board of Underwriters,
which is to be held on Wednes
day to consider the Arkansas
Fire Insurance situation. Emi
nent counsel have advised the
companies that the extra terri
torial features of the anti-trust
law are undoubtedly unconstitu
tional and that the courts must
so decide. In view of this, it is
probable that the companies may
decide to continue in business
after March 23, thereby forcing
the state to institute proceedings
against them which will test the
validity of the act. Hon. J. M.
Beck, former assistant attorney
general of the United States, is
among those who have pro
nounced the act unconstitutional.
PROPOSE TO
REPLACE CHURCHES
Burned in Hot Springs Fire With
More Handsome Edifices.
Hot Springs, March 6.—Pur
suant to a call of the pastor,
Rev. Lewis Powell, a joint meet
ng of the board of trustees and
stewards of the Central Metho
list church, whose house of wor
ship was destroyed in the recent
ire, met Friday night to consid
er plans for rebuilding. Presid
ng Elder J. R. Cason of thisdis
rict was present and presided.
Arrangements were made for
emporary quarters for the use
>f the congregation until a
church can be built.
A special committee was ap
pointed to consider matters re
ating to the plans for rebuilding.
[t is not probable that any effort
-vill be made toward building a
lew church immediately,as many
>f the leading members of the j
congregation lost both homes and!
ilaces of business in the great
ire.
The purpose is, however, to
mild a magnificent modern'
church, to cost from $50,000 to
575.000. The consensus of opin
on at last night’s meeting was i
chat southern Methodism re
quires at this great point of
lational interest such a house of
worship.
The local Jewish congregation
.vill also rebuild their temple,
.vhich was totally destroyed. A
lew site will be selected, the old
me being considered too small i
for the enlarged purposes of the
congregation.

RIGHTEOUS JURY
OUTLAWS FLINCH.
Fad Game of Yore Placed Undei
Ban By Yell County
Grand Jury.
Dardanelle. March 6.—Flinch
is under the ban in Yell county.
Below is an excerpt from the re
port of the grand jury:
“As nearly as we can judge
the violations of the pistol law,
breaches of the peace and dis
turbing religious worship are on
the decrease, while on the other
hand we find an increase in the
violations of the gambling law.
“As we understand it the law
does not discriminate between
large and small wagers. It re
gards gambling, whether on a
large or small scale, as a per
nicious practice, the offspring of
idleness and the prolific parent
of discord; demoralizing in its
associations and tendencies, det
rimental to the best interests of
society, and that it encourages
wastefulness and thriftlessness.
“In certain portions of the
Dardenelle district contests for
gain in the form of flinch par
ties are indulged in, and are of
weekly occurrence, and in plain
violation of the gambling laws of
the state. We are constrained
to the opinion that when those
engaged in the above pastime
have their attention called to
same it will be a matter of the
past. ’ ’
SUITS SETTLED
OUT OF COURT.
Little Rock, March 6.—The
suits instituted by Edward Burk
against the St. Louis, Iron Moun
tain. & Southern railroad as the
result of the wreck of the Hot
Springs special at Swifton, Jack
son county, November 22 last,
have been settled out of court
and dismissed.
The suits were started in the
United States circuit court sev
eral weeks ago. One of the suits
was for $5,000 damages for per
sonal injuries and the other was
for $2,300, which was alleged to
be the value of a trunk and its
VVilWVlll/U Iiij5 wv ^
which was destroyed in the
wreck.
The suit for the value of the
trunk was similar to a number of
others for large amounts filed
by persons who were passengers
on the train.
The railroad a few days ago
filed its answers to Burk’s suits,
alleging that he was at the time
of the accident suffering from
rheumatism, and that all of his
sufferings were occasioned there
by. The terms of settlement of
the suits were not made public.

Weak
Stomach.
A weak stomach is most fre
quently caused by the over
worked and exhausted nervous
! system.
The power that runs the
stomach is the nerve force sent
j to it from the brain through
the nerves. When the nerves
are weak or exhausted the sup
ply of energy is insufficient
and the action of the stomach
is impaired, and results in im
I perfect digestion—dyspepsia.
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv
ine increases nerve force. It
strengthens and builds up nerve
tissue, gives vigor to the nerves
and muscles of the stomach;
i this produces a healthy activity.
Nervine allay% the inflamma
tion, heals the membranes, and
makes the stomach strong and
healthy. There is nothing that
so quickly gives energy to the
whole system as Restorative
Nervine.
“I can’t say enough for Dr. Miles’
Nervine. I don’t know what it will
do for others, but it certainly cured me
of stomach trouble, and now I am as
well as I ever was. Two physicians
failed to relieve me, but in three or
four days after taking Nervine I was
much relieved. Four bottles made me
a sound man, at the cost of $4.00.”
JAMES E. HART, Detroit, Mich.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he
will refund your money.

Tonight “The Mascot,” played
a few years ago by local
talent, will be on the boards and
this opera should by reason of
local familiarity with the play
have a special interest.
These people not only embrace
some very clever and original ac
tors, but good voices. Miss Lil
lian Shattuck and Mr. A. C. Bur
gess, the former in the dual roll
of twin daughters and the latter
as one of her suitors and hus
bands in Marasquine, have splen
did voices, sing well together,
and in fact bring down the ap
plause of the house. Mr. Bur
gess gave a very fine rendition
of “The Holy City.”
Don Bolero’s trouble and
Mourzook’s hair-raizing fierce
ness contribute to the interest
and fun of this little drama, and
the players of these parts were
in every way equal to the most |
ridiculous occasions.
