™ “Such cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. “The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
y good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and/it is from this class 1

Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim

malarial germ and the serious diseases

will keep the bowels clear and the liver j
healthy, and to continue with it at fre-1
quent intervals during the sickly season.

Jess Whitley Commences Term.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 13.— Jess
Whitley, a quiet, genteel-look
ing young man of twenty-four,
came to the Arkansas penitenti
ary Monday, accompanied only
by a friend, Hon. F. E. Brown,
of the State Tax Commission,
and delivered himself up to en
ter upon a sentence of twnty
one years for the murder of his
rival, Wesley Munn, whom he
shot and killed on the streets of
Des Arc last winter.
The case was carried through
all the courts, and a decision re
turned in supreme court two
Weeks ago, sustaining the lower
court. Young Whitley, it is said,
had always been a most exem
plary youth, and had never be
fore been in any trouble. He
and Munn were rivals for the
hand of Miss Bessie Baty. In a
letter introduced in court writ
ten by Whitley, December 31,
last, a short time bfore the kill
ing, he said to Miss Baty:
“Nqw Bess, of course if I
were turned down by anyone ex
cept Mr. Munn, I would feel bad,
but as Mr. Mann is a bright, in
telligent, good man, and has
many friends in thsi town, I feel
that it won’t cast a dark reflec
tion upon my character. (I
guess I will live over it.”)
Whitley is an orphan, and he
has several younger brothers,
and sisters- He had a little mer- j
cantile business before the trag
edy that has thrown a shadow
upon his life.
CIRCUS ARRIVES

The Howe’s London Circus and

and best circuses that has visit
d this section in some time, is
in Newport today for two per
formances. The parade at noon

business section.
A splendid performance was
given this afternoon and will be
repeated tonight.
The circus is a big one and
the thousands who are planning
to visit tonight may expect one
of the best circus performances
that has been seen in Newport.
The rain last night has ppt in

and compares favorably with
any that has been seen here. Ev*
en the elephants look as if they
had come from a band box and
there was no stock of any kind
that was not in the best jof
shape. The menagerie contains
everything that goes to make an
interesting one.
The parade, which passed over
the down town streets was one
of great merit and as classy as
any that has been seen here.
There may be a few longer ones,
but when it comes to quality
and arrangement it has not been
excelled. There was enough of
the “glitter” to make up for ab
sence of the sun and three
bands, together with the calliope
(which no circus would be com
plete without) had music in the
air at all times. Handsome
band wagons with many open
cages showed splendidly condi
tioned wild animals and the long- 1
est snake in captivity were num
erous in the parade and minia-1
ture people costumed in a com-1
ic manner and bowing from the
tops of the wagons, were a pleas
ing novelty. The riders display
ed costumes of much brilliancy
and there were more pretty fac
es than is generally seen with big !
circuses. The horses were of
unusual beauty and judging
from the manner in which they j
matched one could imagine they i
had been dyed for the occasion, j
As a wrhole the parade was a
thing of great beauty and a cred
it to the designers. The per
formance this afternoon started
off in keeping with the parade
and lovers of circus entertain

offerings tonight.

There was a large crow d of
spectators to see the unloading
of the circus and throughout the
day the circus grounds were
crowded with people, the majori

the magnitude of the circus and
who were amazed at the excel

horses promptly came in for the
most attention and it was due to
their beauty and their high class

i ne winter quarters ot tne Dig
circus are at Montgomery, Ala.
The doors open at 7 o’clock
this evening and the perform
ance begins at 8. A band con
cert of merit begins at 7:30 o’
clock and there will be plenty
of clowns on hand to entertain.
The Little Rock Gazette, where
this circus visited Monday,
praises it unequivocally, declar
ing the performance excellent
“The show is especially
strong,” says the Gazette,
“in splendid horse flesh and fine
riders. It has as beautiful hors
es as any big circus that comes
here, well trained animals, clev
erly ridden by equestrians,
some of them of riding families
known to the grandfathers of
the present generation- Among
them are Cecil Lowande and
Miss Lowande, names known to
circus patrons for many years,
and of a family said to have been
in the sawdust ring for a centu
ry. Melrose and the Conners
sisters are also descendants of
the well-known oldtime riders of
that time. The splendid manage1
act is conducted by the veteran
rider, R. H. Dockrill, who him
self rides, erect and graceful as
when he broughj; the Howe show
from London 44 years ago, and
who is pressing 70 pretty close.”
Waahlng Matting.
Bran is much better to use for
leaning matting than soap and war
er. Tie the bran in a bag, dip the
bag into clean warm water, and rub
be matting briskly with this; then
wash It off with a cloth wrung out of
warm salt water. This method fresh*
ns it up wonderfully.

NEAR DEATH
BY SMOTHERING
But Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, of
Jhis place, says: “I suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then I would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
iry Cardui, the woman's tonic, so ho
bought me a bottle and I began using tt.
It did me more good than all the medi
cines I had taken.
I have induced many of my friend! to
try Cardui. and they all say* they have
been benefited by its use. Thera never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. 1 believe tt is
i good medicine for all womanly trou
bles." Ijt
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give tt a fair trial.
It should surely help you, is tt has a
million others. <
