V1 way, in an address yesterday,
s^ted that railroad rate legisla
i tion was absolutely necessary,
y He quoted from Chief Justice
Waite on the right of congress

He said that no greater abuse
of power had ever been known
than had been exercised by the
railroads, and that these injust

for raftgad rate legislation, and
stated t t it is an accomplished
fact. e commission will make
mistaki , but they are not sur
rounded by the temptations of
the railroad men themselves. In
his mind it is either railroad reg

government ownership under
such men as Hearst, and he pre
ferred railroad rate regulation.

L. Walt on the Ross farm,

farm next year. Fuller will put
up a. mill in the near future.
'The cost of the mill will be be
tween $15,000 $20,000. A
man from Texas was here re
cently and contracted for rice at
$1 per bushel. The farmers are j
enthusiastic and hundreds of
acres will be planted. Some rice
near Lonoke turned out more
than seventy-five bushels and at
$1 per bushel will averege over
$80 per acre.
Fireworks Tabooed.
“There is at least one town in
Arkansas where fireworks and
toy pistols are legally tabooed,”
said a North Arkansas visitor to
a Little Rock Gazette reporter.
“That town is Quitman, Cle
burne county. The town coun
cil has lately passed an ordinance
which makes it unlawful to sell
or offer to sell any ‘squibs,’ fire
* crackers, Roman candles, torpe
does or any toy pistol intended
forahe shooting of cartridges.
, The offense is constituted a mis
demeanor, punishable by a fine
of not less than $5 nor more
than $25. Mayor J. H. Cobb
. approved the ordinance immedi
ately after its passage, and it is
now a law in Quitman.
{ Advocates of such an ordi
\ nance declare that there will
>P \ hereafter |be no holiday casual
I ties in Quitman because of this
enactment. It is of course pret
s ty hard on the juvenile popula
tion, but the ‘grown-ups’ argue
that there will be fewer acci
dental injuries to persons and
less loss of property by fire by
1 banishing the toy pistol and the
I fireworks.”
It has been like a bee hive
inside the Bailey Mercantile
Co. store from morning on

ATTACK FELLOW STUDENT.
Suspended Students of University of
Arkansas Catch Tartar in
College Dormitory.
Fayetteville, Nov. 26. —Con
siderable excitement was arous
ed in the University of Arkansas’
domitory Wednesday night, when
Harry Bernard, W. S. Meeks and
Mr. Rankin attacked a young
man by the name of Stover.
'Bernard, Meeks and Rankin
had been reported by Stover for
alleged violation of one of the
rules governing the dormitory,
which prohibits the “buying,
selling or bringing on or within
the university campus intoxica
ting liquors,” and had been sus
pended by the faculty for the
remainder of the term.
Stover is said to have at first
used a pair of brass knucks and
later to have drawn a pistol. No
arrests have yet been made by
the civil authorities and the
faculty now have the matter
under consideration.
There is still some excitement
among the students, but it is not
thought that there will be any
further trouble.

show, charged with kidnaping a
4-year-old child called “Baby

in the world.” Green is now;
here in jail, and the sheriff has j
the child in charge, awaiting the j
arrival of Sheriff Honea and the
mother of the little one. Green

Indian Girl in Boys’ Clothing.
Van Buren, Nov. 26.—Rosa
Boice, a 16-year-old Choctaw In
dian girl, was caught in the Iron
Mountain yards here, masquer
ading in boys’ clothing, and was
taken into custody by Sheriff
Moore and Constable Ferguson.
Her home is at Wapanucka,
Choctaw Nation, she says, and
she adopted this disguise to es
cape her enemies. She is per
fectly rational, and is above the
average Indian in intelligence.
Some ladies of Van Buren pro
vided her with suitable clothing,
and she will be sent home.

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 har’ing
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 8 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 Per bottle.
A Weak
Heart
Seldom gets strong again with
out help. Awake or asleep, it
never stops, and consequently
has no period of rest or relaxa
tion in which to regain lost vig
or. You should avoid exertion,
excitement and worfy as much
as possible, to relax the strain,
and take Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure,
which is a heart tonic, to
strengthen and restore vigor to
the heart nerves and muscles.
The symptoms of a weak heart
are shortness of breath, palpi
tation, feeble or too rapid pulse,
hungry spells, hot flashes, diz
ziness, smothering spells, pain
in heart or side, etc.
“I had been treated for heart disease
by different physicians without any
improvement. Finally my doctor in
formed ine that there was little hope
of my ever being able to do a day’s
work again. About that time a gentle
man called upon me, and said, ‘I heard
of your condition, and have com., to
tell you that Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
saved my life, and I want you to try
it.' I did so, and after a week or so
I went to my physician and told him I
had been taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure.
He examined me and said, ‘God bless
Miles' Heart Cure, it has made you
better in a few days than I ever ex
pected to see you again.’ I am now
well, having fully regained my health
by the use of this remedy.”
