’ Captured Fugitive.
Officer Frank Whitworth has
returned from Izard county, Ar
kansas, where he arrested and
brought back Charles Boyd, who
was indicted at the recent ses
sion of the Butler county grand
jury on two charges. One
charges him with incest with his
daughter and the other charges
him with having ravished the
little girl. He was placed in
jail in default of $1,000 bond.
To Mr. Whitworth is due all
the credit of bringing this man
to justice. The grand jury in
dicted him and supposed that he
was residing on Cane creek, in
this county. Afterwards it was
learned that he had-flown and
the search was practically aban
doned when Mr. Whitworth took
up the hunt, with the result that
Boyd is now in jail. —Poplar Bluff

Davis-Dinsmore Trial.
Favetteville, Nov. 29.—Noth
ing startling occurred yesterday
in the Davis-Dinsmore trial.
.* •
Gov. Davis was absent, although j
he had been summoned, and only
Mr. Dinsmore and Jack Walker
were tried.
Dinsmore swore that he went
to the hotel to get a letter writ
ten by Senator Berry to him,
which Davi% had in his posses
sion, a satisfactory answer, or to
give Davis a sound thrashing.
Davis said the letter was at
home, and Dinsmore called him
a liar. Dinsmore struck the
first blow with his fist and Davis
returned it with his cane. Dins
more said he did not want to kill
him, but that he did not punish
him severely enough.
The testimony of other wit
nesses was about the same. A
drummer testified that Davis
read the letter in question to a
crowd on the train before reach
ing Fayetteville.
Mayor Eason fined Dinsmore
$1 for assault and $50 for car
rying concealed weapons. Walk
er was fined $55.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
ARE AILING.
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora
tive Measures is Something
That Every One Should
Understand.
“A Stitch In Time Saves Nine.''
Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright’s Disease
or some other dangerous malady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
! become sufficiently pronounced to be
! noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the ap
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim incal
1 culable misery and suffering, mental
I torture and expense. Used at the begin
ning of the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win back health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having i
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the #
large figure 8 in red on the front label. ’
Sold at Drug Stores. $1.00 Per bottls.
