KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more with
l<-ss expenditure by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas- .
ant to the taste the refreshing and truly i
beneficial properties of a jierfect lax- |
ative; effectually cleansing the system |
dispelling colds headaches and fever- i
and permanently curing constipation. |
It has given satisfaction to millions and I
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid-
neys Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug-
gists in 50c and $1 bottles but it is man-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only whose name is printed on even
package also the name Syrup of Fig
and being well informed yon will no:
ccept any substitute if oflered.

THE WEEK IN THE SENATE.
Free Wool to be the Subject Under
Discussion by that Body.
Washington dispatches indicate a
general expectation in the Senate
from members on both sides of the
chamber that the wool schedules
of the tariff bill will be reached for
final consideration during the pres-
ent week. There is a tacit agree-
ment among the Republicans and
Democratic leaders that the debate
shall be continued under the five
minute rules on the wines cotton
manufactures and tax schedule.
Senator Aldrich as the representa-
tive of the Republican side of the
chamber expressed the opinion that
these schedules would be disposed
of with very little delay. He said
that the understanding forfive-min-
ute speeches would not be contin-
i u£d when the woolen schedule
j would be reached and he expressed
I the opinion that three or four days
debate would be necessary before
- the wool and woolen schedule is act-
ed upon. Some of the Democratic
leaders think the schedule may be
disposed of in two days. This sched-
ule will develop one of tlft most im-
portant debates connected with the
bill. Next to the duty on sugar
free wool has attracted more at-
tention than any other item in the
bill and there can be no doubt that
many Republican Senators will
make speeches vigorously assailing
the Democratic position. The Dem-
ocrats while not expecting or hop-
ing to secure consideration of this
schedule under the five minute rule
are nevertheless hopeful that they
can make an arrangement for the
fixing of a definite number of days
for the debate. It is understood
that this is one end they have in
view and arranging the preliminar-
ies for night sessions as they have
been doing in securing pledges of
Democratic Senators to remain un-
til the Steering Committees shall
consent to adjournment each day.
This is to be an elastic arrangement
and the late night sessions will be
resorted to only in case of evident
determination on the part of Rep-
ublican Senators to delay a vote.
This is not expected on any of the
items which precede the woolen
schedule nor do many Senators
think it will be undertaken in that
connection. The Democratic lead-
ers however regard it best to be
prepared to meet the emergency if
it should present itself. They desire
also if it should prove that there
are to be an unexpected number of
long speeches on the woolen sched-
ule to work them off as rapidly as
possible if they have to resort to
night sessions for that purpose.
“We do not” said Senator Harris
“want to impose any unnecessary
hardships but we want to make an
impression on the bill during the
week.”
THE ASHLAND DISTRICT.
Today's issue of the Arkansas Ga-
zette contains the following special
from the Seventh Congressional
District of Kentucky:
Lexington Ky. June 10. —There
has been much bitterness injected
into the Congressional campaign
from the very beginning but since
Owens attacked Breckinridge
so bitterly in his Paris speech this
feeling has grown enormously until
there are many cool headed men
who believe trouble of a serious
character will take place here today.
The city is full of strangers tonight
Evan Settle and his Owen county
friends having arrived here in large
numbers today. There will be 5-
000 strangers in the city tomorrow
and as the feeling between the
Owens and Breckinridge factions is
at a white heat there is no telling
what the day will bring forth.
Nothing but politics is talked about
and the interest is very great. To
judge by present indications the
opera house will not hold half the
people that will be here aud should
Owens attack Breckinridge in the
manner he did at Paris there is ev-
ery indication that there will be
trouble.

The Summer Season.
A society journal gives the fol-
lowing bits of “season news:
“The summer season now about
to open will be notable for the ex-
termination of many fickle fads and
will be remarkable for the sober and
permanent character of its intro-
ductions. The general features of
last year’s styles will be retained
though subjected to changes which
are so extremely conservative that
little impression is made in the en-
semble. The correctly attired man
of 1894 will differ very slightly from
his confrere of 1893. The general
satisfaction that the apparel scheme
of '93 gave is mainly responsible for
its retention and for the discour-
agement of the formulation of new
ideas. Those who studied carefully
the trend of fashions during the
latter part? of the summer and out-
ing season of 1893 will find therein
ground for impressions which give
the correct key to the present sea-
son s styles. The only field in which
exploitation has been encouraged
to any extent is in suitings. The
smart tailors have prepared lines of
fabrics which are remarkable for
the great variety of effects shown
and the predominancy of light
shades.”
Grant County Convention.
Special to The Texarkanian.
Ain Ark. June 11.—The Demo-
cratic county convention met in
the court house in Sheridan on Sat-
urday and instructed her delegates
to vote as follows: Clark Armis-
tead Chism Jordan Mills Battle
Riddick for Mansfield’s term Vin-
cenhellar Kinsworthy. For Judge
of the 7th district A. M. Duffle for
Prosecuting Attorney C. V.
Teague.
There was a hard fight for Con-
gress. It seems that the Breckin-
ridge men got out at work after
Judge Little made his canvass and
the whole Breckinridge strength of
this county was polled. The vote
in the convention stood Breckin-
ridge 20 Little 18. But Little
however received the popular vote '
of the county and his friends are
content as they feel satisfied that
he will get the nomination by a
large majority on the final wind up.
Judge Little has many friends in
Grant county and they conducted
his canvass In a fair and ememplary
manner.
Success to the Texarkanian and
Judge Little. “Subscriber.''
SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A shooting affray in which Kelley
the colored barber at the Huckins
House and Bray a negro employed
in the office of the Pacific Express
Company here were the principals
took place in the rooms occupied
by the former over Lipari’s barber
shop on West Broad Street at 8
o’clock last evening.
Details of the affair as gathered
by us are as follows: The fact
was developed some time since that
Bray was party to an intrigue with
Kelley’s wife which caused a tem-
porary separation between the lat-
ter and her husband. Friends in-
tervened however and induced
Kelley to condone his wife’s fault
and take her back to his bed and
board the couple taking up their
residence over Lipari’s on Broad
Street.
On yesterday it came to Kelley’;
knowledge that Bray had attempt
ed to force his (Kelley's) wife to re
sume their former illicit relations
whereupon Kelley armed himsel
and after giving it out that hr
would leave town concealed him-
self in a room next to that of hi
wife At 8 o’clock Bray appeared
and demanded admittance which
was granted. He had scarcely en
tered the room however before
Kelley appeared in the doorwa;
and turned loose both barrels of a
shot gun at the intruder. ’
The result fails to justify public
expectation however in this that
Kelley had been foolish enough to
load his gun with small shot and
his nerve proved unsteady causing
him to “over-shoot” his game.
Kelley was arrested by West sid •
officers but released on his own
reconizan.ee. He is a peaceable
polite and industrious darkey pop-
ular with his own race as well as
with the white people of our city.
Born Not Made
Weak by imprudence are many
stomaches. Puny people have in-
variably weak digestion. The ro-
bust as a rule eat heartily and and
assimilate their food. A naturally
weak stomach or one that has be-
come although not so originally de-
rives needful aid from this thorough
stomachic Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters. The restoration of vigor
to the delicate is the prompt effect
of a recousse to this professionally
sancsioned and universally esteemed
promoter of health. Nervousness
a syrapton of chronic indigestion—-
is overcome by it. So are liver com-
plaint and and constipation. Incip
ient rheumatism and kidney trouble
it defeats thoroughly and it consti-
tutes an efficient defense against
malaria. But in order that the full
benefit derivable from its use should
be availed of it should not be used
in a haphazzard way but continual-
ly. The same suggestion holds good
for all standard remedies.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
Washington dispatches giving
proceedings of both houses of Con-
gress state that the Senate on
yesterday entered on the eleventh
week of the tariff debate. At the
opening of the session Mr. Morrill
was granted the privilege of ad-
dressing the Senate for a few min-
utes in support of his amendment
to the naval appropriation bill au-
thorizing the appointment of the
Superintendent of the United States
Naval Observatory from civil life
at a salary of $5000 and providing
for the re-organization of
the observatory. Mr. Morrill point-
ed out at length the advantage of
placing at the head of this Na-
tional Observatory a man who has
made the science of astronomy a
life study.
After some further discussion
the Senate resumed consideration
of the liquor schedules of the tariff
bill.
In the House an air of general
listlessness was everywhere appar-
ent and it was evident that the
members were not in a working hu-
mor. The day was claimed by Mr.
Heard Chairman of the Committee
on the District of Columbia but
while several bills were considered
no action was reached on any of
them on account of a lack of a quo-
rum.
BARTER OF WIVES.
A writer given to the study of
unidue subjects presents the fol-
lowing statistics on what is aptly
termed the “tariff on wives:”
In the earlier times of purchase
a woman was bartered for useful
goods or for services rendered to
her father. In this latter way
Jacob purchased Rachel and her
sister Leah. This was a Beena
marriage where a man as in Gene-
sis leaves his father and his mother
and cleaves unto his wife and they
become one flesh or kin —the wom-
an’s. The price of a bride in Brit-
ish Columbia and Vancouver Island
varies from £2O to £4O worth of ar-
ticles. In Oregon an Indian gives
for her horses blankets or buffalo
robes; in California shell money or
horses; in Africa cattle.
A poor Damara will sell a daught-
er for a cow; a richer Kafir expects
from 3to 30. With the Banyai if
nothing can be given her family
claim her children In Uganda
where no marriage recently existed
she may be obtained for half a doz
en needles or a coat or a pair of
shoes. An ordinary price is a box
of percussion caps. In other parts
a goat or a couple of buckskins will
buy a girl. Passing to Asia we
find her price is sometimes 5 to 50
rubies or at others a cart load of
wood or hay. A Princess may be
purchased for 3000 rubles.
In Tartary a woman can be ob-
tained for a few pounds of butter
or where a rich man gives 20 small
oxen a poor man may succeed with
a pig. In Fiji her equivalent is a
whales tooth or a musket. These
and similar prices elsewhere are
eloquent testimony to the little
value a savage sets on his wife.
Her charms vanish with her girl-
hood. She is usually married while
a child and through her cruel
slavery and bitter life she often be-
comes old and repulsive at 25.
BILL DALTON SURE ENOUGH.
A telegraphic special from Ard-
more I. T. under date of June 10
states that Mrs. Dalton wife of the
notorious outlaw Bill Dalton who
met his death at the hands of an
officers posse last week has openly
admitted that her late husband
was the leader of the Longview
bank robbers. The other members
of the gang were Tom Littleton
Jim Wallace and Charles White
alias Jim Jones. Jim Wallace who
was shot and killed at Longview is
a brother of Houston Wallace
where Da:ton was stopping when
killed. Charles Benjamin Dalton
the eldest of the Dalton boys ar-
rived and identified the remains as
those of Bill. Officers of the Long-
view Bank also identified Dalton as
the man who presented the letter
of introduction to the Cashier.
WAR ON CIGARETTES.

institution of a war on the deadly
cigarette habit in that city. The
message in question says;

COUNTY PRISONERS ESCAPE.
A jail delivery in which five of the
inmates of the Miller County jail se-
cured their freedom was accomplish-
ed in this city Saturday night but
was kept so quiet that no inkling of
the affair reached the public ear
until today.
The delivery was effected by means
of a wire key constructed by the
prisoners with which the cell doors
were opened. After gaining en-
trance into the corrider the
prisoners found little trouble in
breaking through the outer wall of
the jail which is merely an old shell
and utterly insecure.
Four of the escaping prisoners
were colored and one white. All
were under charge of grand larceny.
Three other inmates of the jail
whites refused to make use of the
opportunity afforded them for es-
cape and remained in their cells.
Officers are in pursuit of the
fugitives and some hope of their
capture is indulged in.
