BILL COLLECTOR

Negro Uses Bed Slat Because
Collector Wanted Pay For
Installment Furniture.
Texarkana, March 28. — Joseph

and dangerously hurt this after
noon on Rose Hill by a negro
named Jim Green, from whose
house Murphy was trying to re
move some furniture on which
the negro is said to have owed
and to have defaulted in pay
ment.

niture house, was instructed to
bring the furniture in, and went

FAKE COMPANY
SEEKING BUSINESS.
Auditor Moore has received in
formation that agents of the
fraudulent “Hartford Insurance
Company of Hartford Building,
New York,” have been writing
policies at Casa, Chidester, Cam
den and elsewhere in the state.
This should not be confused with
the genuine Hartford Insurance
Company of Hartford, Conn.
The fake concern is said to have
been originated by Indian Terri
tory and Kansas parties, and
Auditor Moore says it is “a fake,
pure and simple,” and warns
the public against it.

FLAGS OF THE
CONFEDERACY.
Several Carried By Arkansas
Troops Forwarded to
Governor Davis.
Governor Davis has received
the following letter from Secre
tary of War William H. Taft:
“I have the honor to advise you
that, under the authority confer
red upon the secretary of war by
the joint resolution of congress,
approved February 28, 1905, en
titled a ‘joint resolution to return
to the proper authorities certain
union and confederate battle
flags,’ I have caused to be for
warded to you today by express
all the confederate battleflags
that were in the custody of the
war department at the time of
the approval of said joint resolu
tion, and that could be identified
as belonging to your state or as
having been borne by military
organizations thereof.
“Herewith is inclosed a list of
the flags transmitted to yo today
and a copy of the executive docu
ment No. 163, house of repre
sentatives, Fiftieth congress,
which sets forth all the informa
tion that the wjr department was
able to furnish on February 16,
■* 'ii. __ .1 i _ i l. . _•_
xooo, wiin icgaiu cu cue uiiiuu
and confederate flags then in its
custody. •
A few of the flags that are de
scribed in that document cannot
be identified at the present time,
their numbers or distinguishing
marks having been lost, and a
few of the flags that could not
been identified in 1888 have since
been identified and are now re
turned to the state to which the
organizations that bore them be
longed.”
There are five flags in the col
lection forwarded by Secretary
Taft and they will be held await
ing the claims of the proper au
thorities. They are as follows:
Flag of the Sixth Arkansas
volunteers, captured by Sergeant
John W. Dean, company C, Sev

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
—
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
i toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
_
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
j human life because they do not manifest
| alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
i strength exhausted. Then, too often,
j the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
j first appearance of the symptoms. A
| little uneasiness in the small of the back,
j digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
j and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
j 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 doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time 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
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed 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
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
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.

“Soon after I began to take
Wine of Cardui I could see that
I was beginning to get back
my strength.”
That is the comment Mrs. Seymour
makes.
If you are sick you oan take Wine of j
Cardui and secure health and strength. If
other medicines aud other treatment have
failed, that will make no difference. Few
Hrs. M.3evtnouc women have taken Wine of Cardui at first.
aaSrSSfSiMick By far the greater number of Wine of I
Cardui cures are women who could not
seoure relief elsewhere. All druggists sell $1.00 bottlerof Wine of Cardui.
WINE or CARDUI
No. 48 Straight St., Gbaud Rapids, Mich.
I am pleased to endorse Wine of Cardui as I found it so beneficial to
restore my strength after my baby was bom. I could not seem to get well
enough to be up and able to do my work, and as I had been in bed for six
weeks this was rather serious, but soon after I began to use Wine of Cardui I <
could see that I was beginning to get back my strength. In another week
I waa able to sit up most of the day and in a month I was able to be up and
do most of my work. I think it is s* * a .
splendid medicine for a woman and QjL. ' t
can certainly give it highest praise. / %
