L. S. Dunaway of the Little
Rock Gazette was here Thurs
day, being recently from Heber,
; where he had the pleasure of
hearing John V. Roberts lecture

cheers from his hearers. The

BAD HEALTH.
Worry, Overwork, Hasty Eating, Ex
cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of
Sleep, Neglect of Nature’s
Calls. These Bring on the
Deadly Bright’s Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.
Kidney disease is the enemy we have
most to fear as a result of the feverish
restlessness of modern civilization. It
is a treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifling symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re
lieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy glow
of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 ia red on the front label.
Sold Everywhere, Price $1.00 per bottle,
cents and the proceeds of the
lecture were about $75, which is
far ahead of the law practice of
$5,000 yearly, testified to by the
defen : ant in the Judsonia trial.
Mr. Dunaway ran across the
surveying party of the Leslie ex
tension of the North Arkansas
road while at Heber and says
the corps will reach Searcy soon.
Mr. Dunaway goes to Marianna
next week, from which point he
will give a full report to his most
excellent paper of the proceed
ings of the Roberts trial.
NEGRO LOCATED
NEAR RISON.
Robert Blackwell Who Assaulted
White Woman Believed to be
Surrounded in Sawmill.
Pine Bluff, April 6.—Sheriff
James Gould received a message
from Rison last night stating that
Robert Blackwell, the negro who
committed the assault on Mrs.
James Mitchell near here last
week, had been located at a saw
mill near Rison, and Deputy
Sheriff Dyer left on the midnight
train to make the arreet. Dyer
will not bring the negro to Pine
Bluff.
Blackwell was traced to the
vicinity of Rison on the next day
after the commission of the
crime by Deputies Dyer and Bo
no, but was not captured because
he was aided in his hiding by
other negroes and relatives.
One negro deputy, however,
has been hunting for Blackwell
ever since, and last night he tel
ephoned that he thought he had
located his man.
Blackwell will probably be cap
tured and brought to this city
next week if it is thought he will
escape lynching.
TO THE INSURING PUBLIC.
For many years this agency
has written unquestioned and un
questionable fire insurance in
companies that, with two or three
exceptions, have been compelled
to withdraw from the state on
account of the anti-trust law.
However, we now represent 14
old line stock companies, with
paid-up cash capital and with in
demnifying bonds, (not Fidelity
bonds, note the difference), and
are prepared to issue you insur
ance just as reliable as any we
have here-to-fore written, to the
! limit of the carrying capacity of
' the companies.
We propose, as we have always
done, to see that your losses are
I promptly and fairly adjusted and
can certainly render you better
'service than can strangers or
outsiders.
I We write farm property and
risks in adjacent towns, and will
give prompt attention to all ap
' plications.
Our office is now in Col. Mi
