The Doctor’s
Best Efforts
will come to naught unless his prescription is
accurately compounded from drugs of known
purity and strength. A prescription often means
too much for any chance to be taken in the filling.
A Physician’s Dilemma
A doctor may dislike to tell you where to take
your prescription, because his motive may be
misunderstood, but he will be satisfied if you
bring it here. Our drugs fall short in nothing;
our compounding is accuracy itself, and our
prices are always as low as they can be.

STROKE OF LIGHTNING
INJURED FIVE PEOPLE, j
Large E!m Tree in Reeder Yard Was
Struck by Lightning and Five Per
sons Sitting Upon Porch Were
Severely Injured by Flying
Splinters Sunday Aft
ernoon.
This town was visited by an elec
trical storm Sunday afternoon, one |
sharp stroke of lightning that was felt;
throughout the town having splintered
a massive elm tree in the Reeder yard
on Remmel Avenue at the foot of
Elm Street, and seriously injured five
people who were sitting upon the
porch hardly five feet away. Their
escape from death would seem miracu
lous, considering their proximity to
the stroke and the wreck made of the
porch by the splintered tree.
Mrs. L. V. Reeder, daughter Miss
May, aged 19 years, son Fred, 17 years
old, together with Miss Janie Jones
and Andy Harrow, were sitting upon
the back porch when the storm came
up and did not realize their dangerous
position, beneath the large elm tree,
: when about 3 o’clock a stroke of
lightning, accompanied by a heavy
peal of thunder, struck the old land
mark of nature, splintering its body
and hurling flying timbers in every
direction.
Darrcw was the most seriously in
JUiC/Vly WUC JlUiW uv iug puturij uovt J. ■
the hip down, aside from other
oruises. He was reported little bet
ter Monday.
Miss May Reeder sustained an in
jured hip and other bad bruises from
flying splinters.
Fred Reeder is disabled from work
owing to injuries, having been struck
a oad blow on the back of the head.
The balustrade of the porch was
totally wrecked and great holes were
made in the roof of the house by the
•plintered pieces of elm.
Ulysses Reeder and a friend, Oscar
Haynes, were sitting upon the front
porch and were severely shocked, but
otherwise uninjured.
After the storm news of the wTork of
the lightning’s stroke brought large
crowds to the scene to view the old
disfigured elm, which still stands,
though barked upon either side to the
ground.
OTHER BANK ROBBERS
HAD LITTLE TO SAY.
Little Rock, June 21.—Sheriff Joe
B. King of Johnson county is in the
city, having come for the purpose of
seeing Thomas J. Clark, alias Smiling
Joe, and Jim Wallace, who are con
fined in the Arkansas penitentiary
awaiting trial on August 10 at Clarks
ville. Wallace has been acquitted of
murder in the first degree, and is now
under indictment for accessory be
fore the fact, and Clark for murder
in the first degree, in the killing of
Sheriff John H. Powers at Clarksville
February 5, 1902, for which George
Durham and Fred Underwood were
hanged at Clarksville yesterday.
nio»*lr anrl Wa.llfl.nA tfilH Sheriff ICitur
that they had read Underwood’s con
fession, which implicates them, but
that they had no statement to make
until they should see their attorney,
Hon. Sam R. Chew of Van Buren.
They expressed sorrow for the fate of
Underwood and Durham, but were
pleased to know that they “died
game.”
PRESENTED A FLAG.
Mrs. C. R. Cockle, a daughter of
General James F. Fagan, and who by
reason of her accompanying him to
Virginia, became the adopted daughter
of the First Arkansas regiment was
tendered a surprise party by some
twenty members of the local U. D. C.
Saturday afternoon.
The program included refreshments
at Bracy’s Cafe, where the tables
were thrown together and Colonel
Minor made a beautiful presentation
speech in delivering the flag as a to
ken of respect and regard for the
honored guest, the daughter of the
First Arkansas.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
NOT AN EXPERIMENT.
l'he city of Memphis has lately
bought the waterworks heretofore
owned by a private corporation, and
the Newport Herald observes that “It
will be interesting to watch this ex
periment in municipal ownership.”
The Herald might have been watch
ing one here at Batesville for several
years that ought to be of special in
terest to the people of Newport, since
it gives us both a better and a cheaper
service than they get from a private
corporation. Municipal ownership is
not an experiment.—Batesville Guard.
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

SHOT BY DEPUTY MARSHAL.
Word has been received here of a
sensational occurrence at Pocahontas
Saturday night, but the names of all
the parties can not be learned. A
man returning home that night found
another there and proceeded to pum
mel him with his fists.
The latter yelled for help and when
Deputy Marshal Middleton Carouth
ers arrived, he tried to arrest the for
mer and in a scrap which ensued shot
him eleven times.
ADVANTAGE OF
KNOXVILLE SCHOOL.
The teachers of Arkansas who are
thinking of attending a summer school
this summer can find no place more
desirable than the Summer School of
the South to be held at Knoxville.
Those in charge have provided for a
faculty of the most distinguished edu
cators of the country, 93 in number.
The location of the school is desirable
as Knoxville is one of the healthiest
and most picturesquely situated cities
in the South. 2,000 from the South
attended this school last summer, and
fully as large an attendance is ex
pected this year. On account of the
cheap railroad rates, I am sure Ar
kansas will be well represented in this
school this summer. b tJl
