HAS QUARANTINED
AGAINST HERSELF.
Forrest City Board of Health
Takes Steps to Check the
Smallpox Epidemic Now
v*> Raging There.
A Forrest City, Feb. 5.—The
; "■ bosyrd of health of this city has
quarantined the west end of this
(St. Francis) county on account
of the smallpox and has ordered
the Rock Island railway not to
convey passengers from the town
of Palestine to this place.
The quarantine will be rigidly
enforced. Officers will meet all
trains from the west and the
highways entering the city will
be closely watched so that no
person from the infected, dis
trict can come in.
A large number of cases of
smallpox have occurred in the
vicinity of Palestine, in fact in
that part of the county imme
diately west of L’Anguille river.
The pest has appeared mainly
among the negroes.
Steps have been taken to
\ stamp out the disease, but mean
while the health authorities here
deem it the part of wisdom to
l\ take precautions against the ad
lj$\ vent of persons that have been :
S exposed tothe disease.

MAY MANDAMUS
AUDITOR MOORE.
Legislators Talk of Forcing Ail
ditor to Honor Vouchers on
Newspaper Enactment.
Little Rock, Feb. 5.—The re
fusal of State Auditor Moore to
honor the voucher of Speaker
Cate for 20 cents worth of stamps
daily for each member of the
house is still a live issue and will
be taken up again Monday morn
ing after the reading of the jour
nal. The proposition being con
sidered is whether mandamus
proceedings shall be instituted
against him to compel the issu
ing of the warrants. Audit: r
Moore said today:
“I want them to mandamus
me. The question will always
be a question until it is settled,
and it is now in a fairer way for
settlement than ever before. Let
proceedings be instituted at once
in circuit court, the case be sub
mitted without delay, and then
an appeal taken to the supreme
court. By advancing it on the
docket, there is no reason why
the matter should not be finally
and definitely determined within
two weeks. ”
FURTHER SUITS
FOR TRUNK LOSSES.
Greaves & Martin of Hot
Springs on Saturday brought suit
in Pulaski circuit court, second
division, for recovery of two
more trunks and their contents,
burned in the Swifton wreck on
the Iron Mountain, Nov. 22,1904,
as follows:
John J. Wheeler, Chicago, 111.,
an route to Benton, alleged loss
$707.
John A. Knisely of Chicago,

_
A Bit of Beautiful Scenery That
is Seldom Offered for the
Admiration of Southern
i
ers Now on View.
| The winter of 1904-05 is to be
' a memorable one for the Stormy
Southland. Such skating and
I such sleighing as it has been the
fortune of this people to enjoy
establish its severity and their
pleasures will chronicle its mem
ory for this generation. But
amidst these luxuries, there is
one which all can revel in to
their heart’s desire, which is as
free as Northern winds have
I been of late, but which we men
tion that it may not be neglected.
It is only a beauty of nature,
yet as grand as we travel across
continents to see; it is only a val
ley of ice and snow, such as the
whole world once was in the gla
cial period, yet let us not detract
from that which is free, which is
at home, which is accessible to
rich and poor, which is free from
labor or from cost.
Nature is generous; she has no
special privileges to be awarded
on class distinctions, for it was
not a part of the plan of the
Creator that her beneficent influ
ence should only be felt by a
few; the beauties of her handi
work were to delight the eye
and thrill the heart of all man
kind.
Lovers of nature and beauty,
and we are all included, — the old
familiar White is worthy of your
attention just now. She offers a
new feast to delight the eye. In
her wintry vestments of compact
snow and ice, her outlines hard
to trace by reason of mother
earth’s mantle of white, you
would hardly recognize the swift
flowing stream of spring and
summer days.
Like ocean billows the ice and
snow have been carried down
into the bend and there piled
high upon each other in succeed
ing waves. The current of the
mid stream has sought to tear
loose these surface fetters and
bended into semi-circles these
chains of ice with a remarkable
uniformity that is best observed
from a distance, for as you ap
proach the bank the harmony
of this effect is lost and all be
fore you is a mass of misshapen
ice and sleet, piled here and there
with no apparent method.
Thin sheets of ice, laden with
the recent snow, have been
forced from thei’" watery an
chors several feet into the air by
the pressing weight of glacier
formations borne down from
above. The word glacier may
j seem a case of hyperbole, but as
these masses of ice delve as far
beneath the surface of the water
! as they have been tossed above,
we contend that the use of the j
word is as legitimate in Arkan
sas just now as in the Arctics.
Crowds visited the river Sun-1
day and gave voice to praises, of
; its beauty. Further adjectives
' might give color to its descrip
j tion, but to realize the grandeur
of this winter scene and enjoy it,
go take a look.

says: “Being fully convinced of the gen
uine merit of Paracamph, I therefore
recommend it. For three weeks I suffer
ed with a severe Cold, the chest becoming
painfully sore. I bought a bottle of
Paracamph and before retiring rubbed
,the throat and chest thoroughly and cov
ered with absorbent cotton as directed.
One application gave me perfect relief,
the result being all the more astonishing
because it was least expected. Since then
I have had the privilege of seeing it used
in cases of cuts, bruises, etc., and in al
most every case the sufferer has been
afforded instant relief. It has been a
source of blessing and I therefore recom
mend it.
Paracamph is a clean, safe home rem*
edy. Mothers will find it excellent for
quickly relieving Croup, Sore Throat,
Sore Chest, Sore Muscles, Neuralgia and
all forms of Swellings and Inflammations.
Paracamph is a combination of Camphor
and cooling, soothing, healing oils. Trial
size 25c ; family sizes 60c and $1.00. If
you have never used Paracamph we will
send you a trial size free. Write to
