HON. GEO. W. MORRIS
Present Grand Treasurer ,
of the I. 0. 0. F. of Kentucky.
MAKES A STRONG STATEMENT.
From the position which Mr. Morris
holds, it is evident that he stands very
high with the I. O. O. F. of Kentucky
and any statement which he makes car
ries a great deal of weight. Mr. Morris
says : “Sometime ago, as the result of a
fall down the stairs of my home, I injured
my arm and badly strained my back,
side and hip. I experienced intense pain
and was unable to get any relief until I
was advised to try Paracamph, First Aid
to the Injured. After applying Para
camph to the injured parts, within an
exceedingly short time the pain was en
tirely free from the effects of the fall,
which remarkable results I consider
solely due to the use of Paracamph. I
am fully persuaded that Paracamph pos
sesses all the curative powers claimed for
it. I freely recommend its use to all
those whose sufferings you claim it will
relieve or cure.”
Paracamph is a combination of cam
phor and cooling, sothing, healing oils
which allays pain almost instantly, heals
and cures all nurts quickly. It is a mod
ern scientific remedy, indorsed by Amer
ica’s best people. Try it for Rheumatic
Swellings, Neuralgia, Sore Joints, Skin
Diseases, Old Sores, Cold in the Head,
Sore Chest, Sore Feet and all forms of
Swellings and Inflammations. If it fails
to give you satisfaction your money will
be refunded. Trial size 25c ; family sizes,
60c and f 1.00. If you have never used
Paracamph we will send*you a trial size
free. Write to-day. The Paracamph Co.,

NEWPORT, - - ARKANSAS.
“JEFFIE OLD BOY”
IN ALTGELD’S ROLE.
Altgeld, once governor of Illi
nois, a socialist at heart, but one
of the brainiest and most force
ful and eloquent speakers of re
cent years, was naturally a most
ardent champion of the silver
cause in the panic years of ’93 to
’96, but the sincerity of his faith
was called into question and the
cause he advocated suffered a
blow when it was found that in
his leases, contracts and notes
he had required his debtors to
make their payments in gold.
But another wolf has been dis
covered in sheep’s clothing. The
great pretender, who masks as a
friend of the common people and
gives frequent Don Quixotic ex
hibitions of fanatical devotion to
their interests in demagogic leg
islation such as the recent anti
trust bill, has been exposed.
“I am no believer in fire in
surance at the best,” says “your
governor, ” and yet he answers
this insincere advice by having
the policies on his home in Little
Rock extended for another year in
old line (trust) insurance com
panies. And all this done since
the enactment of the Logan bill.
Protect yourself for the full
limit allowed, "Jeffie, Old Boy,”
DUC auvise uie uettr peupie lu
stand their own losses. There is
neither consistency nor honesty
in such a course, neither unsel
fishness nor devotion to the peo
ple’s interests in this double life
of public utterance and personal
act.
And as the effects of this
iniquitous act draw nearer reali
sation it is not to be wondered
:hat the governor seeks to pro
;ect his own property from the
egislation which has been his
lobby for four years and upon
vhich he has ridden into office
>y false and shallow argument.
According to good authorities
here is a shock in store for those
vho have not worried, feeling
hat the anti-trust law would in
iome way be evaded, or that in
lurance could be secured in an
>ther state. For according to
lection 11 of the insurance
aws of Arkansas, passed April
55, 1873 and still in force, “it
ihall be unlawful for any person,
lompany or corporation to nego
tiate or solicit within this state
iny contract of insurance, or to
jffect an insurance or insurances,
>r pretend to effect the same, or
;o receive and transmit any offer
>r offers of insurance, or receive
>r deliver a policy or policies of
nsurance, or in any manner to j
lid in the transaction of the bus- J
ness of insurance, without corn
dying fully with the provisions
)f this act. ”
And under this section it is
leld that no company could send j
in adjuster into the state to set
tle losses. So even this recourse
seems barred by previous enact- j
nent.
The necessity of old line fire
nsurance was never more clear
y realized than upon the heels
)f the announcement made
ruesday by the Massachusetts ^
Vlutual Life insurance company '
that hereafter all maturing loar.s
in this state would be withdrawn,
and where safe insurance was
not carried mortgages would he
foreclosed.
In the past fourteen years this
company has loaned $2,000,000
on Arkansas real estate and
property at 6 per cent., yet they
now refuse to make further loans
and will withdraw as fast as
possible all their old ones. And
if all the big loan companies fol
low this lead and withdraw from
the state, what will it do to in
terest rates. The demand for
money will be the same, and
with the supply curtailed it is
easy to see where they will go,
but hard to tell where they will
stop.
And whom will this benefit?
The farmer who either secures a
a loan from his bank to make
his crop or is supplied for the
season by some furnishing store?
Is not this furnishing store pay
ing a higher rate of interest on
money they have borrowed and
perhaps a higher price for goods
purchased, on a credit that has
become a hazardous risk by rea
son of a failure to secure safe in
surance? And are not „such in
creases of cost to the merchant
taxed in turn upon the indi
vidual customer?
Nearly all enterprises that
produce wealth and employ labor
are launched with borrowed cap
ital, and they, as rule, seek
cheap money. Will they come
to Arkansas, where rates are
soaring by reason of legislation
that has been foisted upon a
people by politicians whose only
purpose is to get office, and who
must champion some well-sound
ing cause to accomplish their
ambitions? Never.
The calling of loans, the rising
value of money, the hardship
imposed upon the small mer
chant to secure credit and back
ing, promise hard times for the
people of this state, and they
should wake to the threat
ened adversities of the hour. Let
the legislature feel the strong
arm of an aroused public opinion
and repeal this act which shad
ows our prosperity, and from
whose disastrous effects the
Governor has already sought to
secure his own home.

Rheumatism
Like Neuralgia, is now known
to be a nervous disease. The
kidneys become weak through
lack of nerve energy, and fail
to filter the uric acid from the
blood; this acid attacks and
burns the nerves and muscles,
and consumes the oil in the
joints, producing inflammation,
fever, swelling—pain.
To cure Rheumatism, then,
you must restore the kidney
nerves and muscles, and neu
tralize the effect of the acid
upon the joints and tissues
with Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine, a nerve medicine,
which has made many cures of
this painful disease. Nervine
strengthens the kidney nerves
and increases the circulation,
and relief is assured.
“Before I took Dr. Miles’ Nervine,
I had been looking for a cure for
Rheumatism for 25 years. The last
time I was laid up for several months,
could not get out of bed or set foot
on the floor. I tried remedies to rub
in, to drink, doctors’ prescriptions,
etc., but none of them had any effect.
One day I read about Dr. Miles’
Nervine and got a bottle. After ths ■
first dose I had a good night’s rest,
and after taking half a bottle ths
pains disappeared, and I went out and
walked all around the town. In a week
I went to work, and was perfectly
cured, but continued to take the
medicine for a time, to make sure ths
pains would not come back.”
