WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS,
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease,
it is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
lisease. The wisest course is to apple- a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first ' appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
ligestive troubles, bowel irregularities
iiul disorder fn tile urinary organs are
natters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong-men and women, yet they
mve a serious meaning. They ■ show
dearly that the kidneys are suffering

election of April 3, 19 <>.
For Marshal —
WALTER BAIRD
The( municipal ticket is a good
one and should have a big ma
jority. Fulfill your primary
pledge.
The city election on April 3
gives every man who entered
the primary March 15, the
chance to show whether or not
he did so in good faith and will
ing to abide the result. Let
every man come out and vote
for the nominees.
Next Wednesday tells the
story of many a candidate’s fate.
The day after, the public will
not be half so dear to many a
disappointed one and the best
way to avoid this feeling is not
to be counting votes before they
are cast. This is the gospel
truth as taught by experience.
Editor Riley of the Walnut
Ridge Blade after a study of the
stars and signs of the times,
says it looks to him like Davis
and Little. Now as our contem
j porary has always leaned that
way, especially at crucial times,
[ we are inclined to think the wish
! fathered the thought. At least
if Rogers and Berry had looked
I like winners, would he have
i said so? Not much.
Fenced pastures near Newport
ought to pay this year and we
hope no trouble will be had by
the owners of stock in securing
j such feed. It is true that there
! is little to offer in this line just
'now, but the demand will'soon
■change matters. The council
; and other advocates of the stock
! ordinance didn’t want to starve
■ the cow and we predict that the
| necessary pasturage will, be
! forthcoming.
More home-seekers are coming'
into Arkansas and -Jackson coun
ty each week. There are invest
j ments open here on every hand
I that will net big returns. Where
! does land pay higher cash rent
als in proportion to its value than
here? And it follows in conse
: quence that it will sooner earn
' for the investor the purchase
; money without taking into ac
■ count ihe natural increase of its
| va'ue. which is also greater than
I elsewhere.
1 The opponents of Gov. Davis
have never failed in each cam
paign to make some bad and
costly breaks, and this time their
reflections upon the war record
of his dead father are iii-advised,
! damaging and in bad taste. The
governor’s recent reference in
! a public speech of how he
. couldsee his father in Heaven
; and how he had looked down and
bidden him “lick them again”
was vulgar indeed and the at
tacks of some of his opponents
upon the character of his father
are nearly as improper.
Contract for Sprinkling.
j The sprinkling of the streeLs
| of this city has r.e.er been dont.
upon any systematic basis. One
man probably paid for a privil
ege that his equally able neigh
bor also enjoyed, and to put all
on the same footing, the water
company this year proposes to
make contracts for the season
from April 16 to November 1
and to sprinkle only those blocks
where the property owners or
renters are willing to subscribe
for the service for that time.
And as stated, unless the people
are willing to get together, there
may be no street sprinkling,
whereas if ail pay a proportion
ate rate to the frontage of their
property and guarantee it for
the season by subscribing to
such a contract, general service
may be secured without the cost
falling heavily upon any indi
vidual.

WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
