La Grippe is
Contagious.

[Mmim Proved Beyond Question to be In-

the Country.
LaGrippe is a coitagious disease.
Its specific term has been positively
identified and it is transmitted from
person to person either by direct
contact or by inhaling the germs
while they float in the air. ft is a
dangerous disease lowering the vi -
tality and wasting the resistive
power so that pneumonia heart
disease nervous prostration and
insanity find easy victims. No spe-
cific is known that will kill the Grip
germ but it may be driven out and
its effects overcome by the prompt
use of Dr. Miles’ Restorative Ner-
vine
"LaGrippe left my nervous system so
racked and shattered thnt I could not sleep
and for two months was under the Influ-
ence of narcotics. Physicians and friends
gave me up to die; but in two days after I
commenced taking Dr. Mlles’ Restorative
Nervine I began to Improve and In u
month's time I was entirely cured. It is
the greatest health restorer on earth."

To the Voters of Texarkana
Texas:
I am a candidate for reflection to the
office of Assessor and Collector of Texar-
kana Texas election In April next. You
have elected me several times to fill this
position and my fourth term (of two years
each) Is about to expire. On this acconnt
I have been reluctant to further tax your
generosity but I have recently received
unsolicited proffers of support from so
many citizens of the town that I feel It is
the wish of the majority of those interest-
ed. that I should fill another term.
I can only refer to my official record to
the committee of expert accountants who
annually examine my books and to the
Finance Committee of the City Council to
examine and report on my monthly collec-
tions and disbursements.'
I respectfully request your support and
I promls if elected for the coming term to
try to perform the duties of the office as
faithfully and impartially as I have in the
past. Respectfully
WILLIAM E. ESTES.

Negro miners who went from
Alabama'to Pana 111. are fast re-
turning to their southern homes
Find that northern men treat them
worse than in the south.
Aguinaldo and his Filippinos arc

While other states exempt from
taxation for five or more years all
manufacturing enterprises ami
are gaining much foreign capital
Arkansas legislature refuses to pass
such a measure for our state. If
seems to us a bad policy to be s<
unprogressive.
An nxchauge says an Arkansas
girl punched both eyes out of a
tramp with her parasol recently be-
cause he tried to hug her. The Ar-
kansas girls like all other Ameri-
cans like to be humbugged but
they draw the line when it comes to
being butnhugged.
The Sevier County Democrat is
advocating a stock law. Slow an
brother else the farmers there
about# may mob you. The farmers
in our state legislature are so su-
premely selfish and narrow-tnindi •<
as to refuse to grant a rigid stocl
law even for large cities like Litth
Rock and Texarkana.
The Hot Springs News continues
to advertise soca’led “glove con-
tests'to come off tn that city.
Yet It knows and the officers are
well acquainted with the fact that
Arkansas' laws against prize fight-
ing is thus being openly violated.
It is a bad state of affiair to be
sure.
Those newspapers that act as
the apologists for the present gold
bug administration are continual-
ly telling of the great prosperity in
the laud and yelping "calamity
bowler” at the writer that tells of
the true condition of affairs. Yet
then: same papers very frequently
contain notice of tbe meeting of
the “Charity Boards in all the
cities and the bills allowed by city
and county authorities to provide
for the paupers who are still In
(•v'idCnce. ( Thly say tbelr’n is plenty
of *ork yet fevert this day a million
men are looking fu vain for tqjpldya
meal.
Kansas reports hogs received
from shipping points as arriving
with ears no frosted that they
drop off at the least touch. They
are having weather up there belew
zero.
The House has passed a bill
amendatory to the special act plac-
ing the officers of Benton county
on a salary. The bill limits the
compensation of county clerk to
$1500 circuit clerk to SIBOO col-
lector to SIOOO and assessor to
$800; fees to be allowed the col*
lector for collecting delinquent
taxes.
The other day Gov. D. W. Jones
pardoned W. P. Bonner of Clark
county who killed his brother while
in a beastly drunken condition
several years since near Okolona.
Pardon is conditional that he drink
no intoxicants or opiates of any
kind. Among those who petitioned
for his pardon was Congressman
Tbos. C. Mcßae as well as many
other prominent men.
A boy thief broke a merchant’s
show window at Farina 111. and
was in the act of stealing out goods
when the merchant who happened
to be watching cut bis wrist so as
to mark him and thus capture him.
Boy's father sued the merchant for
damages and a jury gave him $3000.
Some states have mighty poor laws
and poor jurymen.
Not only are the great trusts
that have sprung into existence
under the fostering care of the gold
shylocks doing over seventy per
cent of the cash business in the
United States today but they are
the absolute and arrogant masters
of every wholesale and retail mer-
chant in the land. They fix both
the price the merchant must pay
for his goods—and the price he
must sell them at. They the
trustsare the absolute inasters.and
they insolently snap their fingers in
defiance to the courts and yell “an-
archists” at the man or paper that
calls things by their proper names.
The gold bug party is the breeding
pen of trusts and the protecting
shield of public robbery.
An American Railroad in China.
Moneyed men from the United
States have secured a franchise foi
building a railroad from Hong Kong
to Han Kow China a distance of
nearly 700 miles. While railroads
are necessary to a nation’s pros-
perity health is still more neces-
sary.’ A sick man can't make money
if there are a thousand railroads.
One of the reasons why America is
so progressive ir the fact that in
every drug store is sold Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters that celebrated
tonic for the weak appetizer foi
the dyspeptic and sedative for the
nervous. It is taken with great
success by thousands of men and
women who are run down pale and
weak. It increases the weight and
the gain is permanent and substan-
tial.

Manila February 11 —The Amer-

combined attack upon Caloocan
aud reduced it in short order.

States double turreted monitor
Monadnock opened fire from the
bay with the big guns of her fore
turrett on the earthworks with
great effect.
Soon afterwards the Utah bat-
tery bombarded the place from
the land side. The rebels reserved
their fire until the bombardment
ceased when they fired volleys of
musketry as the Montana regiment
advanced on the jungle.
The Kansas regiment on the ex-
treme left with the Third artillery
deploying to the right charged
across the open and carried the
earthworks cheering under a
heavy fire. Supported by the ar-
tillery at the church the troops
further advanced driving the ene-
my. fighting every foot right into
the .town line and penetrated to
the Presidencia lowering the Fil-
ipino flag at five o'clock p. m.
The enemy’s sharpshooters in
the jungle tired at long range on
the Pennsylvania regiment but
the rebels were soon silenced by
shrapnel shells and the Pennsyl-
vanians remained in the trenches.
As the Americans advanced they
burned the native huts.
The rebels were mowed down like
grass but the American loss was
slight.
Gen. Otis up to the close of
office hours reports all quiet at
Manila. He says he is buying
horses and sending them to the
front on account of lengthening
the lines in their fight against the
insurgents.
It is stated that no overtures
made by Aguinaldo to terminate
the conflict will be respected as
that would be recognizing him as a
belligerent when he is nothing
out a bushwhacker with a lot of
cut throats for his army.
President EcKinley has laid
before congress the necessity of
laying a cable between the United
States and Manila which will
touch at Honolulu and Guam. He
asks coagress to make an approp-
riation for this work.
Washington February 11.—The
official copy of the treaty of peace
with Spain bearing the Spanish
and Americas comraissioaers
which was ratified by the senate
wss signed by the president ana
secretary Hay this afternoon in
the library of the executive man-
sion. There was little formality
observed although a number of
persons were present by invitation
of the president. While signing
the document the] president and
secretary of state sat at the round
table in the center of the library.
The ceremony occupied only a few
minutes and at its conclusion sec-
retary Hay replaced the document
rti i»s crimson velve case and took
it to the state department for
Madrid.
At the west entrance of the post
office there is a long wide concrete
walk running from the steps to the
gate. The grade is just right from
the steps to the gate to make skat-
ing fine lor to get a start means
that you will travel down the walk
to the gate without any hindrance.
On Friday there was a good sized
crowd of boys and girls assembled
there aud they bad rare spun.
The reporter watched them seve

saw many a master and miss slip oil
their legs and some times there
would be a half dozen thrown in a
Common pile on the walk It was
rare sport and the youngsters wilt
use the walk until the thaw sets
in and melts the coating ot ice
formed on it.
This weather means that the
Mardi Gras celebrations prepared
for in different southern cities will I
get nipped slightly lu the bud on ]
account of tlie cold disagreeable i

cal change in the weather it these
