appetizing lunch to her guests,

MUSICAL COTERIE.
The Coterie had the pleasure
of enjoying Mrs. T. H. Reamey’s
hospitality Thursday afternoon.
The study was Verdi’s beautiful
opera ”11 Trovatore” and the
program was a most enjoyable
one, some of the members show
ing good study—for who does
j not like II Trovatore?
It is most gratifying to learn
I that the proceeds of last week’s
j concert amounted to $112.70.
Although the expenses were
rather heavy, a neat sum wrns
I realized.
SURPRISE EUCHRE PARTY.
| The society young people of
Newport are ever on the alert as
to new ideas in the way of en
1 tertainment, and as to the num
ber of many beautiful society
i events that are commanding the
I time and attention of the euchre
players, none have eclipsed by
way of novelty or pleasure the
surprise euchre party given in
honor of Miss Lucy Brandenburg
Thursday, evening at the beauti
ful home of Mr.' and Mrs. S. R.
Phillips, who threw open their
doors to a jolly crowd of young
pe <ple who had planned and
worked a complete surprise upon
the young honoree, whose birth
day it was.
Everything had been perfectly
arranged and the guests assem
bled when Miss Lucy was sent
for to come and spend the even
ing. Her surprise was great
and her pleasure no doubt even
greater when she found about
thirty-five guests awaiting her
coming.
The Phillips home was beauti
fully arranged and several tables
of card players worked with all
their might until a late hour,
when the prizes were awarded.
Miss Lucile Taylor won two sil
ver hat pins, and the gentle
man’s prize, a Gibson picture,
fell to J. 0. Powell.
The young ladies served a de
’ lightful luncheon, which brought
to a close one of the most enjoy
able of entertainments, and all
wished the fair honoree many

Louis to attend the funeral.
They have the sympathy of New

MANY ASPIRANTS
FOR GOVERNORSHIP.
Prediction That a Dozen or More
Distinguished Men Will As
pire to Succeed Gov.
Davis.
It is generally conceded that
the gubernatorial campaign will
open soon after the legislature
adjourns in May, says the Ga
zette, and the guessers are
amusing themselves hazarding
predictions as to how many can
didates there will be for the
democratic nomination at the
primaries in March, 1906. A list
of possible candidates, which is
subject to revision in the near
future for the purpose of insert
ing perhaps additional names,
has been prepared as the result
of inquiry in political circles.
The group follows: J. H. Har-,
rod, W. M. Kavanaugh, Carroll
D. Wood, Pulaski county; Robert
L. Rogers, Crawford county;
John S. Little, Sebastian county;
B. B. Hudgins, Boone county;
W. H. Langford, J. H. Hine
man, Jefferson county; David L.
King, Sharp county; T. C. Me-!
Rae, Nevada county; M. J. Man-|
ning, Monroe county; E. W. i
Rector, Garland county. While
these names as a rule are being
mentioned without known au
thority, it is believed that nearly
all of them will be in the race.
| THE LEGISLATURE, t
The senate has adopted the
Pinnix pistol-toting measure, i
which is expected to help eradi
cate this evil. The fine for car
rying a concealed weapon is
$50 to $500 for the first offense
nvi J nv\ l’ml OAMfnnnQ
UliU uil LVV4 Vi J ViW J w
not to exceed 60 days for the
second offense. To make the
law effective and to get around a
tender-hearted governor, the ex
ecutive is prohibited from par
doning convictions of this kind.
The governor has approved the
McFerrin resolution proposing a
constitutional amendment allow
ing a state tax of 3 mills for
school purposes and a district tax
of 7 mills.
The cause of union labor has
been helped by the passage of
the Toney bill by the senate pro
hibiting the use of this label ex
cept where the manufacturer em
ploys only union labor.
The house has been consider
ing the question of anti-frat leg
islation to prohibit these organi
zations of students at the state
university. Mr. Keel made a
very sensible comparison when
he said that it would be as just
to prohibit Masonry among the
citizens of Arkansas. Fraterni
ties are nothing more than benev
olent and fraternal organizations
among college young men and
serve a fine purpose.
William J. Hencke, a promis
ing boy, the son of J. A. Hencke
of this city, who had a position
with the Brazilian commission at
the world’s fair, is now employ
ed in the office of the W. J.
Lemp Brewing Company. He
is a bright and ambitious young
man, whose Newport friends are
glad to see pushing his way up in
the world.

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
culable misery and suffering, mental
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
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 8 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 Per bottle.

“Soon after I began to take p
Wine of Cardui I could see that I
I was beginning to get back I
my strength.” 1
That is the comment Mrs. Seymour I
makes. I
If you are sick you can take Wine of I
Cardui and secure health aed strength. If I
other medicines and other treatment hare I
failed, that will make no difference. Few 1
women have taken Wine of Cardui at first. £

WINE or CARDUI
No. 48 Straight St., Grand Rapids, Mich. |
I am pleased to endorse Wine of Cardui as I found it so beneficial to I
restore my strength after my baby was born. I could not seem to get well j
enough to be up and able to do my work, and as 1 had been in bed for six I
weeks this was rather serious, but soon after 1 began to use Wine of Cardui I 1
could see that I was beginning to get back my strength. In another week u
I was able to sit up most of the day and in a month I was able to be up and I
do most of my work. I think it is c J I
splendid medicine for a woman and ^ 3
tcan certainly give it highest praise. . * ?
