That
“Tired
Feeling”
It is often joked about, but the condi
tion itself is no joke. It indicates
serious derangement of the blood and
nervous system.
People can’t help feeling lazy and worn
out if impure blood flowing through all
the organs is poisoning them and para
lyzing their activity.
Spring is the season of blood impurity.
Nine people out of ten would feel better

FEAR OF CYCLONE
CONTINUES EXODUS.
Negroes Still Leaving Doomed City
To Escape Destruction Foretold
By Negro Prophetess Ellen
Burnett Jefferson.
Pine Bluff, May 28.—According to
the prophecy of Ellen Burnett Jeffer
son, the negro prophetess, who has
been taken to Little Rock, Pine Bluff
will be destroyed by a fearful tornado
tomorrow (Friday) evening. The ex
act hour when the storm will come
has not been announced, but, to a
slight extent, the woman has mapped
out the program. About 6 p. m., she
says, one may look to the south and
see a terrible black cloud whirling to
ward this city. It is sceduled to ar
rive about two hours afterward. She
has given this cloud the name of
“Destruction,” and says it will meet
another cloud, “Death,” just over the
city. The clouds will come together
witn a crash, and this crash will be
the deatbknell of a good portion of
the city, at least. Just what portion
the victim of visions and dreams
knows not.
The weather conditions of the past
two weeks, common at this time of
year, wer§ described in advance by
the negress, who said that the days
would be cloudy, with probably a little
sunshine, and some rain. The morn
ing hours of today were such as to add
new terror to the hearts of the fright
ened. Black clouds novered about
and a badly needed rain fell. News
of the slight storm at Little Rock and
'his morning’s weather persuaded
nany who were heretofore hesitating,
and the largest exodus of the season
was witnessed today. Negroes who
were asked today if they would leave
tomorrow, almost invariably answer
ed: “I sho’ ain’t gwine leave tomor
rah, Iso gwine ketch de fust train out
ov town terdav, ef I kin fin’ room on
hit.”
This affair comes at a time when it
works a peculiar hardship on planters
in this section, but greatly redounds
to the advantage of planters in other
sections. Already suffering from an
insufficient amount of labor at a criti
cal period in the working of their
crops, the forces of planters here
abouts are further depleted by the
vagaries of this alleged prophetess.
There is not a manufacturing plant in
the city, or any place where negroes
are employed in numbers, that is not
suffering from the effects of the ex
citement.
Instead of the weather outlook for
tomorrow being ominous, it is the
contrary, and Friday, 29th inst., in
Pine Bluff, promises to be a typical
day of early summer. The amount of
tornado insurance written in th9 past
five days by Pine Bluff insurance
agents easily rivals that written just
after the Fort Smith and St. Louis
disasters, at which time the local in
surance agents broke all past records
here.
NEWPORT MEMBERS PROMINENT
At the meeting of the Arkansas state
bar association in Little Rock Tuesday
and Wednesday, several Newport at
torneys took quite a prominent part
in the proceedings.
Silas D. Campbell delivered an in
teresting address on -‘Some Needed
Reforms in the Criminal Law,” in
which he discussed the nature of
crime and its punishment, and then
Hot Springs was recommended as
the next meeting place, Joseph M.
Stayton being elected vice-president
from the state at large and S. D.
Campbell from the Third judicial dis
trict, the latter being also a member
of the judiciary committee.
At an elegant banquet, which wound
up the convention, J. M. Stayton re
sponded happily to the toast “Wise
Laws and Modern Instances.”
Judge M. M. Stuckey was one of the
newly elected members of the associ
ation.

“BLIND JOHN” ROBBED.
_
John F. Tracy, better known as
“Blind John,” was robbed of his
savings Thursday night in his little
cottage home on lower Front Street,
near the old levee dump.
The thief or thieves entered while
the family were asleep, taking $4.50 i
and a barlow knife from John’s trous- i
ers, but leaving his watch on the foot
of the bed. The burglary was not;
discovered until morning and there
are no clues to trace the identity of
the guilty.
The criminal who is low enough to |
steal the savings of a blind man de
serves more tt ’ atute penalty,
but the incident is .. to be wondered
at, as thieves are no respecters of
persons.
FLOATER FOUND AT LAST.
The body of Mrs. Tapp, the wife and
mother of the man and child, who lost
their lives in White river during the
cyclone in the early part of April, was
Found Sunday about a quarter of a
mile below the point where the house
boat of Dock Bentley, upon which the
Family were living, was sunk.
The remains were badly decomposed,
the fish having eaten much of the
flesh, and were buried that day within
half a mile of where the husband and
3on were interred, the high water
making it impossible to bury the fam
ily together.
The Tapp family lived near Auver
gne and the body of the woman was
hunted for weeks, ha'dng been forty
eight days in the water when found.
H. H. Dietz of the Dietz mill was in
town Friday and kindly favored the
Independent reporter with this item
of news.
CROCKETT WILL NOT
PRINT VETOED ACTS.
Secretary of State Crockett, when
questioned in regard to his attitude
respecting the wholesale slaughter of
acts by the Governor’s recent veto
message, said that he would consider
the proclamation as official and re
fuse to print the enactments affected
unless mandamus proceedings are be
gun to test the validity of the procla
mation and the Supreme court should
hold that each of the vetoed measures
should be incorporated in the printed
acts. Attorney General Murphy says
that he considers this course the
proper one to force the issue.
