Cliff Dwellers and Their Wonder
Working Ways at World’s
' Fair in St. Louis.
f v ' Much has been written and
, said concerning the mechanical
^ displays at the World’s Fair in
i St. Louis. In them American
I genius sljows a series of veritable
tiT.mphs. From the smallest
f ^age-tool to the largest prime
,-^n'er, our progress is written
If steel and iron and every page
W this record is an epitome of
organized intelligence.
[ The aptitude we show for these
things is generally believed to
have been transmitted to us
from our Caucasian ancestors.
Itfe never think of giving the
■(original occupiers of our soil
■edit for the possession of much
m the same wondrous talent by
which we have conquered the
forest, peopled the plains and
made the desert places blossom
like the rose.
Yet we have at the World’s
Fair today over three hundred
descendants of a people called
teliff dwellers, for want of a bet

1)1. John G. Fletcher, one of
most careful observers of the
m situation, estimates that
loss to the cotton crop in the
ansa^ river valley, will ag
;ate 1U0,000 bales, which is
;em of considerable moment
. one-million-bale state. In
king of the crop prospects
aid:
rhe crop has made good pro
s in the last month, that is,
utside of the overflow. All
extremely low alluvial lands
i inundated by the floods,
the waters were so late in
ding that it was impractie
to replant. Although it is
a matter of guess work, I
Id estimate the total loss
i the head to the mouth
le liver at 100,000bales. Out
the flooded districts the plant
>ing well and in most places
ell worked. In some sections,
i in the uplands, there has
i too much rain, which
hindered cultivation, and
ented the proper clearing
>f the crop. On an average
“NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE,"
Miss Celia Harrington, 303 Second ave
nue, Detroit, Mich., writes:
“Weakness has filled many months ol
my life with suffering. Through care
lessness I caught a severe cold two year*
ago which settled in catarrh and serious
ly interfered with the regular functions
of the body, and made me nervous and
irritable. I began taking Peruna and
found in it a faithful helper, as it en
riched my blood and invigorated the
whole system. I have no pains now and
am always well.”
Female weakness is generally de
pendent upon catarrh of the pelvic or
gans. Peruna cures catarrh wherevet
located.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio, for free literature.
the crop is about two weeks late,
or about the same as last year
Notwithstanding these unpropi
tious conditions, the state bids
fair to raise as much cotton as
it did last year, for we musl
take into consideration the par
tial overflow of the spring oi
1903. The crop cannot be expect
ed to begin moving before Sep
tember 15. There are no ravages
of insects in Arkansas, and th<
occasional reports of the discov
ery of boll weevils prove in everj
instance to be unfounded. I an
disposed to believe that even th<
reports of the pest that corn*
from Texas are to some exten
! exaggerated.

I TAKE LAW INTO
THEIR OWN HANDS.
| Citizens of Junction City Raid
and Bhrn Quarters of
Blind Tigers.
Junction City, July 1. — The
citizens of this town have at last
taken vigorous and effective
measures to rid themselves of
blind tigers which have infested
Some time ago, after continued
agitation, they succeeded in driv
ing the illicit liquor-sellers out of
the corporate limits, but that was
not effective, as they simply
moved just across the Louisiana
line, just outside the city limits,
where they erected several cheap
frame “shacks,” in which they1
continued their nefarious busi
ness. They called the settlement j
“Silver City,” and it is not only
an eyesore but a moral plague
spot and the scene of disgraceful
revels and rowdyism.
The parish officers on the
Louisiana side failed to close the
places, and at length the peace
able and law-abiding element of
Junction City decided to act.
Several mass meetings were
held and resolutions adopted,
but as this brought no reform,
about fifty prominent citizens
took the law into their own hands
and made a raid on ‘ ‘Silver City. ’ ’
The blind tiger artists were given
until Friday to leave, their places j
raided and all wet goods confis- j
cated and burned.

The editor of the Newark
Journal must have got his drinks
mixed last week, in mentioning
the series of ball games played
here his paper stated that the
- Newark team won two out of the
three games played, when in fact
the Yellville team won every
game and the $100.—Yellville
- Echo. This presumably infallible
Newark pencil pusher who was
• so keen to criticize another’s
error not half so egregious as
this should recall the vrords in a
recent issue of his file, “Any
idiot can misstate facts.”

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
5 STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds*
, | tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
! piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
1 tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect Beale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly it's worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that, of °thcr of the
) recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of Lhe largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
