DAVIS AND DINSMORE.
_
Governor and Ex-Congressman Come
Together in Sensational Encounter
at Fayetteville.
I _
Little Rock, Nov. 27.—Charles
Jacobson, private secretary to
Gov. Davis, has given out a
statement Cere to the effect that
the governor has wired him from
Fayetteville that ex-Congress
man Hugh Dinsmore and Jack
Walker assaulted him last night
in his room at the hotel with
drawn revolvers and that he
(Gov. Davis), was struck over
the head with a revolver and in
i turn struck Dinsmore over the
head with a large cane, breaking
it.
j Another report is that the gov
ernor struck Dinsmore with his
cane and the latter shot him, in
flicting a slight flesh wound.
It is certain that a personal
difficulty occurred between Davis
and Dinsmore, but no serious in
jury was inflicted. It is learned
that the governor had made some
remarks which Dinsmore re
sented.
Dinsmore is a friend of Sen
ator Berry, who is Gov. Davis’
opponent for the United States
senate.
Rogers Carries Crowd.
Ash Flat, Nov. 27.—Thursday
was a political day for Ask Flat.
Hons. S. Brundidge and W. A.
Oldfield, candidates for congress,
spoke in the afternoon to a fair
sized crowd. The school house
was packed to hear Gen. Robert
L. Rogers, candidate for gov
ernor, at night. Few candidates
ever received greater ovations.
He spoke for two hours, holding
his audience spellbound from
start to finish. He had traveled
forty-two miles overland during
the day, making two speeches,
but he spoke as if he had just
started out, in a cool, dispassion
ate manner, taking his audience
from tears to laughter. His an
ecdotes were original and his
applications to the point, con
vincing his audience that he was
a man of the people. His de
fense against Davis’ charges was
telling as the crowd applauded
from beginning to the end of his
address. He not only held the
crowd in rapt attention, but they
followed him as though they be
lieved every word he said. He
made many friends.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive remedy now known to
the med-ical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re
: quires a constitutional treatment.
| Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi

Hours.
Hot Springs, Nov. 27.—Within
the space of three hours Henry
Young, wanted by United State?
army officials acFort Riley, Kas.,
for desertion, was arrested, broke
jail and was rearrested, his sec

only after five officers had come
to the aid of Constable Will Watt.
The fight which ensued lasted
fifteen minutes and ended only
after Young, completely ex

foot. The officers emerged
bruised and bleeding.
Young was arrested Saturday
morning and placed in the county
jail. Within fifteen minutes he
had made his escape through a
skylight to the roof, sliding to
the ground on a water pipe. He

years ago by the same officer on
a similar charge, and was sent

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
ARE AILING.
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora
tive Measures is Something
That Every One Should
Understand.
“A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.”
_
Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright’s Disease
or some other dangerous malady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to be
noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the ap
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim incal
culable misery and suffering, mental
torture and expense. Used at the begin
ning of the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win back health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 Per bottle.
A Weak
Heart
Seldom gets strong again with
out help. Awake or asleep, it
never stops, and consequently
has no period of rest or relaxa
tion in which to regain lost vig
or. You should avoid exertion,
excitement and worry as much
as possible, to relax the strain,
and take Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure,
which is a heart tonic, to
strengthen and restore vigor to
the heart nerves and muscles.
The symptoms of a weak heart
are shortness of breath, palpi
tation, feeble or too rapid pulse,
hungry spells, hot flashes, diz
ziness, smothering spells, pain
in heart or side, etc.
"I had been treated for heart disease
by different physicians without any
Improvement. Finally my doctor in
formed me that there was little hope
of my ever being able to do a day’s
work again. About that time a gentle
man called upon me, and said, ‘I heard
of your condition, and have com^ to
tell you that Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
saved my life, and I want you to try
it.' I did so, and after a week or so
I went to my physician and told him I
had been taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
He examined me and said, ‘God bless
Miles’ Heart Cure, it has made you
better in a few days than I ever ex
pected to see you again.’ I am now
well, having fully regained my health
by the use of this remedy.”
