POSITIVE PROOF.
Should Convince The Greatest
Skeptic In Newport.
Because it’s the evidence of a
Newport citizen.
Testimony easily investigat
ed.
The strongest endorsement of
merit.
The best proof. Read it.
Mrs. Laura Mink, R. F. D. No.
2, Box 92,j Newport, Ark., says:
“My back was weak, which was
particularly noticeable just after
I had been doing my Jiousework.
I had pains, in my loips which
came on suddenly. My back
ached terribly and I was driven
almost frantic. I had heard so
many people praise Doan’s Kid
ney Pills that I finally got a box
at Dutton’s drug store, (Now
Walker’s Pharmacy). This one
box cured me and I have not had
to use a kidney remedy since.”
Price, 50c, at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mrs. Mink
had. Foster-Milbum Co., props.

From LicensePetition Leav

jority.
Newport is dry under the Go
ing act, this being the decision
of Judge C. B. Coe, who an
nounced his finding when court
was opened about 9:30 o’clock
Friday morning. The Judge
reached Newport on the local
freight and w’as about half an
hour late in convening court.
A large crowd was out to hear
the decision in this long-drawn
out controversy, but was cau
tioned by the court not to make
any demonstration.
The testimony and argument
of counsel was taken under ad
visement by the court a week
previous and Judge Coe in ren
dering his decision stated that
he had found 203 names upon
the petitions for license, which
should be removed, leaving the
petitioners 76 short of the ne
cessary majority of white in
habitants of legal age.
G. L- Grant and M. M. Stuck
ey representing the petitioners
asked leave to withdraw the
supplementary petition, ignor
ing the Going act and based up
on the old law relative to the
granting of liquor license and
after argument in which Phil
lips, Hillhouse & Boyce took
part in behalf of the remon
strants, permission was granted
by the court, with the under
standing that license was to be
applied for Monday under the
old law. when the constitution
William Haney Drowned.
William Haney of Bethesda,
engineer on the steamboat Lil
lian H., belonging to Will Cor
ley of Newport, fell overboard
Wednesday in the Arkansas riv
er, near Rosedale, Mississippi,
and was drowned.
News of the accident was re
ceived here and Mrs. Haney
was notified of her husband’s
fate Thursday.
The steamboat was on its way
down the Arkansas and Missis
sippi rivers with a cargo of
cottonseed. It is not known
just how Mr. Haney happened
to fall overboard.
Up to last night they had been
unable to find the body, but a
search was being kept up.
Mr. Haney was for a number
of years engineer on govern
ment boats on White river, run
ning in and out of Batesville.
The deceased leaves a wife and
eight children, the youngest
one being a baby girl eight
months old. He was about 50
years old.—Newark Journal.
Faints; Falls Into Fire.
Batesville, March 5. —News
reached here today that Miss
Mayme Burrow of Pleasant
Plains suffered the loss of both
eyes when she fainted and fell
into an open fireplace at her
home. She was rescued by her
i brother and sister who found
her on their return from school.
Her face also was terribly burn
ed. It is thought that she will
live.

ality of the Going act will again
be the bone of contention.
The court stated that he
doubted the province of his
court to pass upon the constitu
tionality of the act, but had not
considered the supplementary
petition based upon this con
tention and was willing to hear
further argument in this mat
ter Monday when court would
again be in session.
Convict Farm Hearing.
If you keep your property
well painted, you’ll be more likely
to keep it a long time.
Paint is one of the best pre
servers of property; and DeVoe
Lead-and-Zinc paint is made to
go farther and last longer than
ordinary paint.
You’ll need fewer gallons of
DeVoe than you expect; and it
will cost less to put it on than
with ordinary paint.
It is economy for you and
your painter will do a better job
with it. Johnson-Avera Hard
ware Company, Agents. dl

Puts Ban On Book.
The most gratifying an
nouncement ever made by an
Arkansas railroad comes from
C. L. Stone, the Passenger Traf
fic Manager of the Iron Moun
tain, who has given orders that
no more copies of the “Slow
Train Through Arkansas” may
be sold on Iron Mountain or
Missouri-Pacific trains. The or
der includes all books of this
class, for the railroad officials
look upon Arkansas as their
banner state and they intend to
put a stop to the libel being
committed by the alleged hu
morous writers

Will Not Move College.
Batesville, March 5.—James
P. Coffin of this city, member of
the Board of Trustees of the |
Arkansas College, says the col- j
lege will not be moved to Mor
rilton as has been rumored for
the past two weeks. Mr. Cof
fin said the main building, built
in 1892, was paid for by the peo
ple of Batesville, as had been a
greed by the synod in charge.
He said that in the erection of
this building it was specifically
mentioned that the college
should remain in Batesville dur
ing its lifetime.
The county convict farm hear
ing upon complaint filed by
Sheriff McCuistion against the
present management of same,
jhas been postponed from Mon
day until Wednesday, March 11.
The question of cancellation
of the contract now held by
John H. Keel will be determin
ed by Judge Coe upon that date.

No Relief For Candidates.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 6.— A
number of appeals for relief
have been made to Attorney
General Moose by candidates
who failed to get their pledges
filed in time as prescribed by
the Corrupt Practices act. The
most notable instances are W.
W- Albright, candidate for
state senator from Boone coun
ty, and J. C. Cash, candidate for
assessor of Arkansas county.
Mr. Cash came to Little Rock
and called personally upon the
Attorney General for advice.
Judge Moose has advised all of
them that he knows of no way
in which they can get relief for
their oversight, but that in
view of the penalties prescribed
in the act, it would be best for
them to make no effort to get
on the ticket.
The statute specifically pre
-cribes that all candidates in a
primary election shall file their
pledges with the designated au
thorities not less than thirty
lays preceding the election, and
mother section provides a pen
ilty of not to exceed $1,000 or
mprisonment not exceeding one
fear, or both, for a violation of
my provisions of the act. There
ore a strict interpretation of
he act would mean the prosecu
ion of any candidate who per
isted in placing his name be
ore the people, despite his fail
ire to file the pledge as requir
ed by law.

Of University Hy Hoard Of
Trustees Friday Morn
ing.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March <>.—Prof.
John C. Futrall, acting presi
dent of the University of Arkan
sas has been elected to the pres
idency of that institution. This
action was taken at a meeting
of the Board of Trustees held in
this city Friday morning.
Members of the University of
Arkansas’ faculty who were in
Little Rock last night, declared
that faculty and students of the
University are a unit in hoping
that Prof. Futrall will be given,
the permanent presidency.
“Prof. Futrall has accomplish
ed wonders with the limited
means at his disposal and the
limited authority with which lie
i has been vested,” they said.
“Already he has raised the Uni
jveristy to a higher standard
I than ever before in its history.
If he is made permanent presi
dent and given a reasonable ap
propriation by the state, he will
make the University of Arkan
sas a great institution.”
Will Address the Bankers.
William F. McCombs, chair
man of the National Democratic
Committee, Arkansas product,
and intimate friend of President
Woodrow Wilson, is coming to
Arkansas to address the annual
convention of the Arkansas
Bankers’ Association, w'hich will
meet in Little Rock in April. He
may lie accompanied by Secre
tary McAdoo of the United
States Treasury, but no accept
ance has yet been received from
this high official.
