COLLISION NEAR WYNNE.
Iron Mountain Freight Crashed
Into Cotton Belt Passenger.
Wynne, Sept. 6.—Cotton Belt
express No. 38 ran into a west
bound Iron Mountain freight
train about three miles east of
Wynne this morning about 5:10,
smashing both engines and de
railing five cars. None of the
passengers on the Cotton Belt
were injured, the only sufferer
from the accident being the fire
man of the freight train, who
was slightly cut in the leg as a
result of jumping upon a sharp
stone.
No. 38 pulled out of Wynne on
time, and the engineer, George
Barnett, says he had no intima
tion of danger until he rounded
the curve, three miles from
Wynne, and saw a headlight
bearing rapidly down on him.
He shutoff his engine and applied
the air and succeeded in almost
stopping his train before meeting
the freight.
BALLOT BOX^TAKEN
FROM ELECTION JUDGE.
Ola, Sept. 6.—The ballot box
in Wilson township was taken
from the election judges last
night while they were on their
way to Wm. Berry’s house to
spend the night. Two men com
mitted the act. They kept the
box all night and returned it to
the judges this morning. It was
decided by the judges to turn the
box over to the county election
commissioners at Danville with
out counting the ballots. This
has been done.
The local contests in Yell
county were decidedly heated,
especially over the sheriff’s of
fice, but the returns indicate the
election of Briggs, Democrat,
over Smith, independent. Da-i
vis, for governor, carried the!
county, which is one of his
strongholds, by about 1,000 plu
rality.

“ Your booklet came to mv
home like a message of health
when I had suffered with
headache, backache and bear
ing-down pains. I was weak,
nervous and hysterical and
had not consul! ed any doctor,
thinking it would pass away
in time, but instead I found
that the pains increased and
were more frequent. I de
cided to try Wine of Cardui
and In a short time was much
improved, it seemed to act ukc a cnarro.
I kept up the treatment and the result
was most satisfactory. Words fail to ex
press my gratitude for the suffering that
u now saved me. I am in fine health,
physically and mentally. I can only say
nhank you', but there is much more in
my heart for you."
EARING-DOWN pains art the
worst that women know. If
you are suffering from thistron
ble you need not be uncertain
about it. The pains in the abdomen
and back that feel as if heavy weights
1 were pulling down on the nerves of the
stomach are “bearing-down pains”.
They may not be particularly severe at
present but they are growing worse.
That headache which nearly drives you
distracted now is caused by the terrible
nervous tension. The nerves
soon begin to give way under
thestratn. You perhaps jump
[ at any unusual disturbance,
or laugh or weep, hysUri
, cally, at no apparent cause.
That is what Miss Fay Lee,
603?*£ North Seventh Street,
Kansas City, Kansas, was
coming to when she rescued
herself by taking Wine of
► Cardui. The Win® made
her a strong, healthy woman
• . i _ -_.11_
again, 09 IV uoo mouu a uuuum vmw
women strong and healthy. By induc
ing regular menstruation the entire
8j stem is relieved of the terrible wasting
drains. The ligaments which hold the
womb in place are strengthened by a
healthy flow and that organ is returned
to its normal position. Returning
health is the result. This is what
Wine of Cardui has done for thousands
of the best whmen in America. !
If you need advice write The Ladies’
Advisory Department, The Chatta
nooga Medicine Company, Chattanooga,
Tenn., describing ail your symptoms
freely, and a letter of advice will be
sent you. Secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine
of Cardui from your druggist to-day.

Well When SicK.
All we can do Is give advice.
Cf course that’s easy.
But our advice Is really worth a little
more to you than most people’s, for we
offer to give you the first bottle of our
medicine free, if it fails to help you.
We could not affo-d to do this unless
our medicine was gccd. Such an offer,
on the wrong kind of medicine, would
put a merchant prince in the poor house.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine, however, as years
of experience have proved, is a medi
cine that cures the sick.
Those whom it cannot benefit—less
than one In ten thousand—we prefer to
refund their money.
All we agk of you is to try Dr. Miles’
Restorative Nervine for your complaint.
If you suffer from sleeplessness, nervous
exhaustion, dizziness, headache, mus
cular twitchings, melancholy, loss of
memory, weak stomach, poor blood,
bilious troubles, epilepsy, St. Vitus’
Dance, etc., we will guarantee to benefit
you or refund your money.
You are the doctor.
“My son Bert, when In his 17th year,
became subject to attacks of epilepsy,
so serious that we were compelled to
take him out of school. After several
physicians had failed to relieve him, we
gave Dr. Miles’ Nervine a trial. Ten
months treatment with Nervine and
Liver Pills restored our boy to perfect
health.”—MR. JOHN S. WILSON,
Deputy Co. Clerk, Dallas Co., Mo.

TOUR DRUGGIST
(ILL PROTECT TOD.
We know that many people hesitate to
■pend their money for medicines adver
tised in their local papers, because they
are not positive whether they get some
thing good or something worthless.
Many people hesitate to try new medi
cines, and they are right in so doing.
Every man and woman should be careful
what they use in the way of medicine. Fof
these reasons we make arrangements with
your druggist to protect you on every
bottle of Paracamph. We know from act
ual experience and from the unquestion
abl testimony of thousands of America't
best people that Paracamph will do exact

Piles, Skin Diseases, Catarrh, Sore Throat
Sore Dungs, Croup and all forms of swell
ings and Inflammations, we know that it
will do exactly what we claim. If it fails in
any case when used as directed, your drug*
gist the man you know and the man yotf
have confidence in will refund your money.
So why experiment with the various rem
edies on the market, when you buy Para
camph on a guarantee like this? We believt
that you are honest and believe that yo*
willtreatus right. We know if you do that
you will be pleased with Paracamph. U
