GEORGE GOULD ON
HIS RETURN TRIP
From Inspection of Mexican Line
—Party Lay Over at Homan
for Night’s Rest.
Little Rock, March 3.—George
Gould and his party reached Lit
tle Rock last night in a special
train on their way back to St.
Louis from Mexico, where Mr.
Gould has been for the past ten
days on an inspecting tour.
No information was given out
as to the result of the inspection
Knf ic lnnlrorl nrwvn
as the first step in a new move
by the Gould system. The fact
that Mr. Gould made a close in
spection of the port facilities of
Vera Cruz has given rise to the
report that the Gould interests
contemplate a line of steamers
to ply between Galveston and
Vera Cruz.
It is reported that the Goulds
are also interested in the Mexico
Texas Steamship Company.
Mr. Gould and his party were
joined at Texarkana by Vice
President C. S. Clarke, General
Manager A. W. Sullivan, Assist
ant General Manager J. W. Hig
gins and General Superintendent
W. T. Tyler.
After spending an hour in Lit
tle Rock the special left for St.
! Louis by way of Memphis, but
! will hardly reach the national
capital for the inauguration. The
I amount Gould had paid for a
j vantage point on Pennsylvania
avenue was published, but if such
were ever his plans, he has dem
onstrated a characteristic of his
father, the eminent Jay Gould,
and broken his plans without a
moment’s notice, for the stop
over for the night Thursday at
Homan, where there is no tele
graph office, was in contradiction
of the arranged program.
JS HE BROAD MINDED ?
Because John Keel, represen
tative from Jackson county, un
' til recently an ardent supporter
of Gov. Davis, has now turned
j against him the Beebe News has
this to say:
“Heretofore the News has
looked upon Mr. Keel as a broad
minded statesman, but this act
on his part has changed our
' mind in regard to this gentle
man.’’
Which sentiment clearly indi
cates the wonderful breadth of
mind of the editor of the News.

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- i
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the hack, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive i
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 lront label.
Sold at Drug Stores* $1.00 Per bottle.
