Has Sympathy For Woman.
1 St. Louis, Aug. 15—Now that
J. Alcorn Rector St. Louis, at
torney, has succeeded in expos
ing the women who collected
thousands of dollars by imper
sonating his grandmother. Mrs.
James L. Alcorn, wife of the
war governor of Mississippi, the
Alcorn and Rector families are
planning to care for the woman
for the remainder of her life
The imposter, Mrs. James A.
McLoud, is 70 years old and near
death. Her husband was at
one time a friend of Governor
Alcorn and a soldier with him in
the Civil War.
Mrs- McLoud is in Memphis,
where she was sent by Mr. Rec
tor after ;;he confessed her im
position to him in Chattanooga.
She is in the charge of Mrs. Jus
tina Alcorn -Swift, 1223 Pea
i body avenue, Memphis, Mr. Rec
tors aunt.
Mr. Rector told today of how
! he had traced Mrs. McLoud un
1 successfully for nearly a year
and finally confronted her in
Chattanooga, where she had
been arrested.
j Rector, who is a University
i of Virginia man, represented the
United States at the Olympic
games in London and was con
sidered one of the fastest run
ners in the world. Another of
j his grandfathers was Governor
[Rector of Arkansas.

A CONFESSION
—
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.
- f
Hines, Ala.—“1 must confess”, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, “that
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done me
a great deal of good.
Before I commenced using Cardui, I
would spit up everything i ate. I had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. I could hardly drag around,
andJwould have severe headaches con
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, I have entirely
quit spitting up what 1 eat. Everything
6eems to digest all right, and 1 have
gained 10 pounds in weight.”
If you are a victim of any of the numer
ous ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half a century Cardui has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is com
posed of ingredients which act specifically
; on the womanly constitution, and helps
1 build the weakened organs back toheaitn
J and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won’t regret it Your druggist sells it

pardon Ridling and Ed Lyman
the first of September.
Ridling and Lyman were sen
tenced to serve a year in prison
because they refused to admit
they had participated in a poker
. me. They finally admitted
rhey "‘lied like gentlemen." Af
ter they had been sentenced,
practically every business man
of Mena signed a petition asking
for the pardon of the men. Gov.
Futrell declined to grant the
pardon unless the judge and
prosecuting attorney would ask
f .r their release. This they de
clined to do.
The men would probably have
been liberated about September
fid anyway, as they had been re
commended for parole, and one
third of their sentence would
have been served by that time.
They have been trusties ever
since they reached the State
Farm, but Ridling is a man ol
delicate health, and it was
thought he would not survive
through the summer if requir
ed to work on the state’s planta
tion.
4,3 At Reform School.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug 14.— The
State Reform School is now the
boarding place of 43 boys, rang
ing from 10 to 20 years of age,
which is the largest number in
rhere in recent years.
In former years, when girls
were admitted to the institution,
the number sometimes ran as
high as 100- The placing of de
linquents in the school bj coun
ty judges also added materiallv
to the inmates, but recently, a
number of the cities have estab
lished courts for delinquents,
with a place to care for them,
and this has reduced that ex
pense on the state.
Supt. Deaton will probably ask
the next legislature to fix an
age limit for boys sent to the in
form school, and prevent the
taking of children less than 12
years of age. He believes that
it is not fair to the boys to be
thrown with the older boys,
some of whom are already har
dened criminals, and theii as
i sociation is detrimental to the
- smaller boy. The little fellows
need teaching in the way to be
come good citizens, which i»
impossible with the older boys
to lead them in an opposite di
rection.
To Build Big Dam.
j Mountain Home, Aug. 14
Engineers are on the ground at
Cotter and will start to work
this week to take levels above
the proposed damsite for the
| Dixie Power Company, which
proposes to build a big pow ei
dam at that place. This work
will determine the amount of
land that will be inundated by
the backwater from the dam.

of that part of the river both
for navigation and power.

Water Unfit For Use.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 15.—The j
State Board of Health has com
pleted an analysis of the water
which has been supplied by the
Western Coal and Mining Com- j
pany to its employes at Jenny j
Lind, pronouncing it wholly un
fit for use. Four samples were
analyzed, and it ran from 70
to 90 per cent in gas. The board
of Health states it is not only un
healthy, but dangerous, and
will cause an epidemic of ty
phoid, if its use is continued.
Dr. Morgan Smith, head of the
State Board of Health, recently
went to Jenny Lind, with Labor
Commissioner J. C. Clary, and
at that time he expressed the
opinion that the water was im- j
pure, and ordered the mine op-1
erators to supply the employes j
with better water.
