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.
Kulnev 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 doubtfui value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
re'iable 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 dose3

or rrickiy Asti Bitters at tn is fine 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
vet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease l>e allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
trie first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious iu 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* ge nuine Prickly Ash Hitters with the
Urge figure 3 in ret! oil the front label.

WHOLE BUNCH OE CROOKS
In the Toils at Hot Springs After Liv
ing Within Block of Mayor
for Some Time.
Hot Springs, March 20—En
sconced in a cottage on Quapaw
avenue, in one of the most ex
clusive residence districts of the
city, within a stone’s throw of!
Mayor Belding, the police have
uncovered a den of burglars,
pickpockets and general crooks,
according to the officers, who
have been guilty of numerous!
burglaries and thefts, since the;
opening of the races at Oaklawn.
The head of the band has been
Tony Beherty, of St. Louis, who
has twice at least, served terms
in jail, according to the police,
on pleas of guilty to burglar
charges. Red McGinnis, also of
St. Louis, is said to be another
leader of the band. The others
arrested in the raid were Jimmie
Lane, of St. Louis, Sam Brown,
alias the “Jew Kid,” Jap Kiely,
Denver; Bert Rives and Harry •
Arnold, of Burlington, Iowa.
The raid, which was partici
pated in by the entire detective j
force of ten officers, followed the
arrest of Willie Grace, of Den
ver at Oaklawn Saturday after
noon, on a charge of picking
pockets. He was only a youth
and was so frightened that he
is said to have made a confession,
giving incriminating evidence
against his companions. He told
the detectives of the whereabouts
of the rest of the crowd, in a
a locality where the police would
be least likely to look for them.
There have been a number of
burglaries reported from the im
mediate neighborhood recently j
as well as from other parts of
the city, while, since the races 1
began, there have been an unus- i
ually large number of cases of
pocket picking and kindred
crimes.
On the person of one of the
men was found a memorandum j
giving the description, lucation
and means of access to a house;
which they evidently proposed
to break into.
The men are in the city hold
over, pending an investigation
of their records, and develop
ments.
Both Parties Fined.
Gus Williams and L. Porter,
the two negroes who had a mix
up north of the Mountain yards
Monday afternoon, in which
Williams received several bad
slashes on the jaw, were both
fined $5 and costs before Mayor
Thompson Tuesday.
To the Voters of the Third Judicial
District.
Fellow-Citizens: I am con
fined to my bed with a very per
sistent attack of fever, which
will, in all probability, prevent
me from making any further
persona! canvass before the p;i
mary.
I have made an open, honor
\
able race, and have resorted to
no methods of which I need ever
be ashamed.
My opponents are all honor
able men and I have no fears
that they will take any unfair
advantage of me during my en
forced absence. Yet it is impor
tant that my friends and sup
porters should be alert and ac
tive. I appeal to them to help
me, now that I am unable to
help myself. And if I am nom
inated, which now seems certain,
it shall be my steadfast purpose
to summon all the strength and
ability I possess to a faithful dis
charge of my duties as prosecut
ing attorney, so that none of
you will ever have cause to re
gret my election.
Thanking you for everyjkind
ness you have shown me in this
race, whether you vote*|for me
or not, I am,
Your obedient servant,
Sam M. Casey.
HOME MADE CIGARS.
Find Poor Sale—But 2,276,550 Were
Made in Arkansas in 1905.
The records of the United
States internal revenue office
show that during the year 1905
there were 2,276,550 cigars man
ufactured in Arkansas, as com
pared with 2,746,305 in the year
previous, a decrease oi neany
500,000. The tax for selling
cigars is $3 a thousand, which
the Government exacts, whether
they are the three for a dollar
variety or the more frequently
used “five cent straight." The
revenue collected by the depart
ment from the sale of cigars
manufactured in Arkansas in
1905 was $6,728.50, while in 1904
it was $7,232.30. There are
thirty cigar manufactories in
the State, of which six are in
Little Rock.
The figures of the internal
revenue department do not indi
cate that the cigars made in Ar
kansas find a ready sale among
the smokers in the State. Nearly
all the cigars made in the State
sell for five cents each. The
home products are all hand
made, and are made of as good
fillers and wrappers as it is pos
sible to put in a cheap cigar.
For some reason, however, their
sale is diminishing instead of in
creasing.
The thirty cigar manufactories
in Arkansas are in marked con
trast with the number of estab
lishments of a like character in
New York city. In none of the
several internal revenue districts
of the metropolis of the country
is there less than ten times the
number of cigar-making factor
ies than in the entire State of
Arkansas. —Ex.
