Constipation.
Constipation shortens life. It kills by inches, but none
the less surely. The condition is seldom necessary; it is
due to a morbid condition of the liver that can be over

Liver Pills
if persistently used, are a radical cure for constipation.
They do even more, for with the disappearance of the
chief trouble many minor ones will vanish. Complexion
will be keener, and a new supply of energy will appear.

SUPERINTENDENT WENTZ
BANQUETED BY SEARCY.
People of Searcy Show Their Hospi
tality—Popular Official Honored.
Searcy, Ark., August 25.—General
Superintendent W. W. Wentz of the
Rock Island system arrived in Searcy
last evening in his special car, and he
and his party were the recipients of
the hospitality both of the Masonic
order and the representative business
men of this community. The party
consisted of General Superintendent
Wentz, Grand Master J. T. Hicks, Mr.
A. L. Smith and other representative
citizens of Little Rock. After several
degrees in Masonry had been con
ferred the party was joined by the
business men and city officers in an
elegant banquet at the Gill House,
where the inner man was refreshed.
Congressman S. Brundidge acted as
toastmaster and was particularly hap
py in his remarks of welcome to the
distinguished guests, and the re
sponse by Mr. Wentz was heartily ap
plauded. Other speeches were made
by Mayor Roberts, Messrs. Hicks,
Smith, Williams, Patterson, Baugh,
Sanford and others, and it was not
until the small hours of the morning
that the party adjourned. The visit
was purely a social one, and many
words of praise were heard of the
decorations, and of the feast prepared
by Mrs. Percival.
Mr. Wentz left this morning on a
special train accompanied by Train
master Williams for Des Arc.
ELECTRIC LINES FOR
SEBASTIAN COUNTY.
Fort Smith, Aug. 26.—The articles
of incorporation of the Sebastain
County Electric Company were filed
here today. The incorporators are S.
A. Williams, formerly secretary of
the Commercial League, president;
Wharton Carnall, capitalist and real
estate agent, secretary and treasurer,
and H. C. Bollinger. The capital
stock is @1,000,000, with @2,000 paid in.
The purpose is to connect Fort Smith
with Jenny Lind, Greenwood, Hunt
ington, Mansfield and Hartford, all
mining towns, with branches to Mon
tres^ and Burma, and to furnish these
touins with electric light and power.
The routes for the lines were sur
veyed last spring by Ed Stayton, an
electrical expert from Missouri. The
projected road is a renewal of the en
terprise which took preliminary shape
about two years ago to connect the
mining camps named and to corner
all the available coal lands. Thou
sands upon thousands of acres of coal
lands were opened in the name of the
American Smokeless Coal Company,
but the scheme fell through and the
options allowed to lapse.

NO EXTRA SESSION.

Governor’s Private Secretary Says
Davis Would Not Convene Legis
lature if Every M’an, Woman
and Child Would Petition
Him to Do So.
Little Rock, Aug. 26.—Replies con
tinue to come in from members of the
legislature to the proposition of Sena
tor Paul G. Matlock for an extra ses
sion to be without cost to the state,
for the purpose of passing the deaf
i mute appropriation bill. A few are
opposing it, but the great majority
are expressing themselves as favor
j able to it. It is virtually settled, how
ever, that there will be no extra ses
sion.
Private Secretary Charles Jacobson,
in discussing the matter, said: “The
Little Rock papers are wasting much
space in printing letters and inter
views from members of the legisla
ture relative to an extra session. You
can state positively that there will be
no special session of the last legisla
ture. Gov. Davis would not convene
it if every man, woman and child in
the state would petition him to do so.
There is something back of this extra
session talk that has m t yet appeared
on the surface. The Scheme was in
spired by the governor’s political
enemies and it required no political
sage to catch on to the trick. The
deaf mute institute will be provided
for and it will not be done by an extra
legislative session. The talk and agi
tation is pure nonsense.”
BIG LAND OPENING.
A large tract comprising thousands
of acres of fertile lands in the famous
Red river valley is now thrown open
to the public for settlement. This
oody of land lies directly adjoiniug

Two lines of railroads now completed;

DAVIS’ STAR WANING
SAYS M. J. MANNING.
Hon. M. J. Manning of Clarendon
was in Pine Bluff the other day en
route home from a business trip up
the road. He says that the commer
cial interests of Clarendon are pros
pering and that the town is rapidly
coming to the front as one of Arkan
sas’ best cities. “I am out of the race
for governor,” he said, when quest
ioned upon the subject of politics,
“because my business interests will
not permit me to spare the time. The
campaign was begun entirely too
early for one who has business inter
ests to look after to make the race.
I firmly believe that Jeff Davis’ star
is waning and that he is not half as
strong today as he was two years ago.
The people are finding him out and I
believe will repudiate him at the next
election.”— Pine Blujj Graphic.

YELLVILLE WON
EXCITING GAME.
—
The Yellville team were given a
close and exciting game up to the
ninth inning, when Bandy came in for
a number of good bits, which together
with a bunch of errors, netted the
visitors live runs. In the last half of
the ninth Grosser knocked the only
home run of the game, a beautiful
ball over the center field fence, which
scored two runs, but Yellville’s bat
tery soon put the finishing touches to
any lingering hopes of the Newport
fans.
Sixteen hits were scored off Bandy,
10 off of Woodward. McGregor’s work
behind the bat was good as was also
Yellville’s catcher. The receipts were
$32.25 or about $20 short of the ex
t ■'
penses.
Thos. Henry umpired a very satis
factory game.
The line-up was as follows:
