Little Rock, Oct. 14.—Senator
James P. Clarke, who is spend
ing a few weeks here looking af
ter personal interests, says that
he is not paying any attention to
the senatorial campaign at this
time. He expects to be called
back to Washington about Octo
ber 31, when the currency bill
will probably reach the Senate.
He says the new tariff bill is the
| best that has ever been passed.

has been reduced to three ac
' tive men: Marshal W. H. Ca
j routhers, James Payne and Mor
ins Adkinson, Mayor Paul an

which were confirmed by the
! council.
The police force had hereto
fore consisted of four men and
included J. U. Ard, whom it is
reported will be a candidate for
county office.
Besides allowing current ac
counts, the council also audited
and approved the accounts and

Advantages of County Fairs.
I want to urge the farmers
and citizens generally to attend
their county fairs, where they
have not already been held, and
especially to urge all who can to
attend the State Fair at Hot
I Springs. I do this for the reason
that I regard it of great value to
[those who are engaged in agri
cultural pursuits or interested
inAgriculture.
The farmers who can and will
[attend the State Fair will find
j the trip a most profitable one.
They will be able to see what is
i being produced in the different
parts of the State, and learn
more about the agricultural pos
sibilities of the state in which
j they live in one week than they
[ would by spending six months
traveling about over the state.
Another important thing is
i the live stock industry. The
farmers of Arkansas want to
awaken to the opportunities in
I stock raising, and a trip to the
State Fair will afford a good ed
ucation as to what can be done
i and to some extent is being done
[ in Arkansas with live stock. We
' have some live wires as stock
men in Arkansas, and it will pay
to see and learn what they are
doing. It will give those who are
interested in Agriculture and
the development of the state a
good idea of w'hat is going on,
1 and will be a revelation to many.
There is no question1 of the
great value of attending the
State Fair, and I hope all who
can will attend. As your Com
missioner, I expect to be there
throughout the week and hope
to meet as many of the farmers
and stock growers as possible.
Let us get together and discuss
how we can help the condition of
the farmer and advance the in
I terest of Arkansas generally.
I ‘Ro+uroon nnw and the next
State Fair I intend to take steps
to see if we cannot arrange to
get free railroad fare for the
farmers to and from the State
Fair. I believe it can be accom
plished and shall do my best to
bring it about. Let’s all meet at
the State Fair and prepare for
j better farming and better crops
! next year

Work On Upper River.
Batesville, Oct. 13—The gov
| ernment is doing a large amount
j of work on the river here and
! two forces of men were put to
work during the week. One
force of about 50 men is dredg
| ing the river from here to the
mouth of the Black, and another
is at work reinforcing lock No. 3
near here.
The purpose of the dredge
work is to make navigation pos
sible from Batesville and above
to New Orleans, Memphis and
other Mississippi River points.
This work was undertaken last
year, but on account of the high
water at the time was never
completed. It will be completed
now by the first of November, it
is believed. The river has not
been navigable between here
and Newport for several years.
In addition to the other work,
the government has just finish
ed three barges, built decks to a
derrick boat and also a hull for
the steamer A. D. Allen.
Keel Commissary Burns
The commissary and store of
John H. Keel at Ingleside, was
destroyed by fire about 3 o’clock
Sunday afternoon entailing a loss
of $1,000 on stock and about
$500 on the building with insur
ance for $1,000.

Cheerful Men Succeed.
The men whom I.have seen succeed
best in life have been cheerful and
hopeful men, who wfent about their
business with a smile on their faoes,
and took the changes of this mortal
life like men, facing rough and
smooth alike as it came.—Charles
Kingsley.

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down In Mind Unable to Worlc,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mts. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: "I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much,
that I became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. I was in the worst kind
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
I am now 48 years years old, but feel as
good as 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and 1 feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. 1 wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it Will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it

Shot Negro’s Hat Off.
Charley Johnson, a notorious
negro character, while on a spree
Monday morning broke a lock on
one of the houses on Bridge Ave
nue, of which L. W. Sharp had
I charge and became so insolent
' about the latter’s store that the
I owner ordered him out.
When the negro reached the
| walk, he began cursing Mr.
Sharp and .turned as if to re-en
ter, when Mr. Sharp, who had se
cured his shot gun, pulled down
on him and fired, the load of
small shot taking off the negro’s
| hat and inflicting several scalp
, wounds.
Johnson was later arrested by
Officer Adkinson, but has been
; released pending trial.
