VALENTINE DAY PARTY.
Valentine day has been made
memorable in local society annals
by one of the most cleverly and
timely planned as well as beau*
tifully executed card affairs that
has ever graced a Newport home.
Mrs. B. B. Bond was the donor
of this very conspicuous social
triumph and in receiving her com
pany was assisted by Mrs. C. G.
Henry and Mrs. W. H. Barnes
of Little Rock.
On this day of hearts the theme
and scheme were hearts, the
game was hearts, the score cards
were hearts, the refreshments
were in heart shapes, the enjoy
ment of the guests was hearty
(excuse this) and from every
1 urViovo rlnrlr vpH >1 parts fairlv
made one feel, affairs of the heart
were indeed “woman’s whole
existence.”
As the guest entered the home
; she might read, in fact could
hardly escape doing so, the fol
lowing inscription upon a monster
heart that hung against the front
door glass : “With all my-I
i welcome thee. ’ ’ Now hostesses
j with hearts so iarge apd hospita
ible are ever successful enter
tainers and when parting time
I came,all felt that’this big:hearted
S welcome had been most appro
priate.
I The interior of the home had
| been darkened and the soft light
| from pretty arches and other de
I signs of well arranged electric
; globes of red, beautified a scene
of dangling hearts, which caught
the eye from every viewpoint of
this handsomely furnished home.
Over each table hung a heart
designating its number and from
these larger hearts were the in
dividual score cards, hearts also.
Nothing could have added to the
beauty of the scene except pretty
toilettes and graceful, gracious
womanhood, and these elements
were not missing.
The game was hearts, of
course, but the manner of awards
was not known till the games
were concluded, and then, to the
surprise of the company, the
highest and the lowest shared
the glory ot prize-winners. Mrs.
; R. M. Johnson succeeded best in
escaping any deluge of hearts
and was given a set of neat little
! enameled heart-shaped cuff but
tons, and Mrs. George Hays,
! with 101 hearts in her possession,
1 was awarded a silver filigree per
fume bottle.
| Little Miss Antoinette Bond
and Franchelle Hooker were
'graceful dispensers of punch
during the afternoon.
The red heart scheme was
beautifully carried out in the de
licious refreshments, served in
three courses,heart-shaped caviar
sandwiches, turkey cutlets with
french peas, waldorf salad, ol
! ives; cream in red heart shapes,
cakes of same design, red mints;
coffee.

| PENITENTIARY BILL
COMES UP FRIDAY.
Black Bill, Passed By House,
Sent to Senate Tuesday at
Noon—Its Fate Seems
Very Uncertain.
Little Rock, Feb. 14. — The sen
ate today received the Black pen
itentiary bill. At fifteen minutes
past 11 o’clock this morning a
messenger from the house an
nounced the passage by that
body of tms measui§.
On Friday morning, in regular
order, the bill will come up for
consideration. Whether it will
pass the upper branch or not is
only a matter of conjecture.
There seems to be no way of
escaping the issue on Friday.
The house calendar was cleared
of business this morning and the
Black bill, coming as it did at
the last moment, will necessarily
make it the first bill on the regu
lar order calendar for the next
day for the transaction ot house
business.
In the event that the senate re
fuses to pass the measure Sena
tor Logan will introduce a bill,
the provisions of which will sim
ply abolish the financial agent of
the penitentiary and allow the
management to rem&in as it is at
present.
House business was the order
in the senate today. Many bills
from the lower branch passed
and one was defeated. The un
lucky bill was the one by Mr.
Seay, requiring all executions‘to
be held in the county' in which
! the crime for which the death
! penalty was imposed. A motion
I to reconsider the vote by which
:j the bill failed to pass was made
■! and it is probable that it will be
rehearsed on Friday.
WANT MORE. SCHOOL FUNDS.
The senate yesterday adopted
the McFerrin resolution-, -propos
ing an amendment to the consti
tution to increase the state school
tax from 2 to 3 mills, and the
county tax from 5 to 7 mills,
The senate spent the greater
part of the afternoon amending
the Pinnix pistol-carrying bill,
and when they got through with
it it could not be recognized. It
was sent to the committee on en
grossed bills for engrossment.
In the house forty bills were
read the second time.

ODD FELLOWS’
MARVELOUS GROWTH.
Grand Secretary John P. Paul
of the I. 0. 0. F., while in Lit
tle Rock the Qther day, reported
to one of the papers that the or
der is in a most prosperous con
dition. Since the meeting of the
grand lodge in Pine Bluff last
October he had instituted twen
j ty-three new subordinate lodges,
and the membership is rapidly
approaching 15,000 in the state
in 322 lodges. He will institute
a new lodge at Winfield, Scott
county, next week with a mem
bership of forty-five. During
the same time nine new encamp
ments of the uniform rank have
organized, making thirty-six in
•all. The membership of the en
campment will be doubled this
year, the number reported at the
Pine Bluff meeting having been
2,300.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
I !
.—*
Neglect of the First Warning Symp-1
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
1 7;'*!»'*.»*
It is Easily Curifcle In the Early Stages.
—r
Kidney diseases arf so destructive to
human life because tBey do not manifest
alarming symptoms tantil the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted, t Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indiffereifc or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisesteourse is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance ofjsthe symptoms. A
little uneasiness in tge small of the back,
digestive troubles, Jk>wel irregularities
and disorder in theSjurinary organs are
matters of small mopent in the estima
tion of strong men pid 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- j
haps fatal consequences, A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring,
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of onfe dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bit-ters when the disease is ■
yet in the early stijge will save hundreds ;
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the f
suffering that would surely follow should j
,the disease be allc . ed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of (kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in 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
jmany^o-calle^.^yljgLey cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
'
Accept no substitute. Insist on having j
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the i
large figure 8 in red on the front label.
