HOW WILL IT RESULT?
Doctrines That Were Once Con
sidered Anarchism Find
High Indorsment.
This coal strike and the exigen
cies it halt'produced have led to
some most curie us obsessions of
opinions among public men and
newspapers. Measures hereto
fore regarded as revolutionary,
socialistic and destructive of the
republican form of government
aie now proposed and even urged
by those who but recently stood
in solid array against them.
It is not so long ago that those
who advocated government own
ership of natural monopolies and
great public utilities were looked
upon with hot ror and denounced
as the leaders of semianarchv, if
not anarchy pure and simple.
Any proposal to give government
the right to control and manage
any form of industry was declar
ed to be the very aggravation of
paternalism and the opponents of
sych schemes delivered most elo
quent arguments over the social
and industrial advadtages of in
dividualism.
'i he idea that the general gov
ernment has any right under the
constitution to coerce uses of
private properties, cr to con.is
Vate them under the right of
eminent domain except for pure
ly national uses, was pronounced
upon as a long and desperate step
toward the woi st form of impel'
i.distil. A central zid govern
ment, with power to interfere
with the right of tiie citizen to
1 fe, liberty and the porsuit of
happiness in the lawful posses
sion and uses of his individual
property has always he abhorrent
to the essential democracy of our
people. Tiic .strong slogans of
the past have been for limitations
upon federal authority and not
lor i ts enlargement.
Hut the coal strike lias reveal
ed to the people how the liber
ties of individuals, of unions and
.corpora*ions, mav become so cou
llieling as to congest the mutual
operations, produce a vast wast
\ age of the powers of production,
enforce a famine of publii neces
saries, and establish a reign of
actual civil war in given districts,
as is the case today in Pennsyl
vania.
The effect on the public cpiu
ion, we repeat, is Inost remai k
able. From many quarters here
tofore esteemed the most conser
vative, from public men, from
newspapers and from political
conventions are heard demands
that the federal authorities act
upon present conditions without
regard to precedents. It is urg
ed th.'.t the government can seize
the coal mines as it took ships
during the Spanish-Ainerican war,
as it can take railways when the
public peril may require, or that
Congress may take the coal sup
ply in Pennsylvania as it has tak
en control of the water supplies
in the west. •
These are bewildering times
and men who feel the wrong and
the suffering produced by the coal
situation are not disposed to par
ley over the remedies they seek
for relief. As Lincoln took the
authority to emancipate the slaves
of the south in aid of thejfireser
vation of the union, so many
seem prepared to see President
Roosevelt seize the coal mines
and save millions from the want
that is already pinching them.
What the end may be no one
seems wise enough to predict
now, but certainly there is a rev
olution of public opinion in pro
gress that may mean some novel
and radical forms of legislation
in the future.
A Bloody Affray.
Eldorad >, Oct. 9.—Three men
were killed, one will die and two
Others were wounded in a shoot
ing siffray on the streets heie at
l ;30 p. m. today.
The dead are II L. Dealing,
constable ; Tom Parnell, farmer;
Walter Parnell, farmer. The
wounded are G. B. Tucker, the
city marshal, shot six times and
will die ; Dr. Hilton, wounds not
serious ; Jim Parnell, not serious.
Excitement is running high and
a company of the state malitia has
been ordered out to preserve th.
peace.
El Dorado, Oct. 10 — G. B.
Tucket, the city marshal, who
was wounded during yesterday’s
street duel at this place, is still in
a very critical condition.
The attending physicians thinks
there is little hope of los recov
ery.
The Parnell brothers, Tom and
Walter, were buried near their
country homes this evening.
II. L. Dealing, the constable
j who gave up his life in the per
formance of his duty to preserve
the peace and prevent bloodshed,
was.interned at the cemetery here
this afternoon m the presence of
nearly the whole population of
the town. No man stood higher
or was braver or truer.
There is still a good deal of ex
citement, but the better element
of dozens have prevented any
further outbreak.
Bloodshed Caused by a Quarrel!.
Pine Bluff, Oct. 13.—Lacy, a
small town in Drew county, was
the scene of a shooti ng scrape to
day. John ilankuoy and Nathan
Tlmnnan, wel l-to-do-faimers of
that place, quarreled at a store.
Hackney, it is said, got the best
of the difficulty. After Hackney
left the store Thurman armed
himself with a double-barrel shot
gun, loaded with squirrel shot,
and shot Hackney, inflicting a
wound that is likely to prove fa
tal.
--
DeQueen to Have Water Works.
De Queen, Oct. 11.—At the
last meeting of the city council of
De Queen an ordinance was pass
ed making the town of De Queen
an impiovement district for the
purpose of establishing and main
taining a system of water works.
It is the intention of the city to
secure a supply of water from the
Polling Fork liver, a mountain
stream about two miles west of
De Queen.
. MALARIA AND
YELLOW JACK
(From N. Y. Herald. January 14,1901.)
“The widow of Dr. Lazeare, who, in
the employ of the Government, went
to Cuba, was inoculated with Yellow
Fever t hrough mosquito bites, and died,
applied to Congress for relief to-day.”
The above tells of the sad culmina
tion of a series of experiments by the
Government, all of which proved con
clusively that the familiar mosquito is
a dangerous vehicle for carrying Ma
laria, “Yellow Jack,” and other malar
ial fevers.
Those who are exposed to mosquitos
or other malarial influences should take
warning. Iron is the fighting element
in tiie blood and provides nature with
sufficient resistance to ward off disease.
But if the blood is impure or impov
erished, or if there is weakness, it
means that the fightingqualitiesof the
blood have been lowered, and conse
quently there is danger. If you would
escape, keep the blood pure and prop
erly nourished with
Dr. Harter*s
Iron Tonic
It supplies the blood with iron in a
natural way. It is recognized every
where as the best blood purifier and
tonic in use, and it has been used for
half a century.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 1,1901.
“I have used Dr. Harter's
Iron Tonic myself and in my
family for over twenty five years, and
can heartily recommend It. 1 regard it
aq particularly valuable to ward oil ma
* larial and other fevers.

we hope that the enthusiastic old

organize a rousing big camp and
give this kindly suggestion con

lect a name for the organization.

GOV. DAVIS’ DESIGNS
Everything Indicates That Davis
Will Ask For Third Term
as Governor.
Little Rock, Oct. 12.—Notwith
standing the denial of Gov. Davis
that he would not offer for a
third term, the belief is becom
ing prevalent in political circles
that it is his purpose to announce
for another two years as gover
nor, in order that he may keep
before the public until such time
as he shall actively enter upon his
campaign for the United States
senate against Senator Berry.
The latest eiieumstance to indi
cate this is the sudden announce
ment of Hon. J. V Bourland of
Ozark several days ago that ho
would be a candidate for attorney
general.
Since (lie last State convention
it bus been u matter of general
commcrt that Mr. Bourland
would be the administration can
didate, for governor; in fact, in
several interviews given out upon
the subject here and at Fort Smith
be had intimated that it was his
purpose to run for governor. As
late us noon of the day on which
be announced that be would run
for attorney general be stated
that it was too early to make an
announcement; that he would
like to he governor, but did not
know whether lbe people wanted
him or not. Then came the an
nouncement that be had switched
to the office from which Jeff Davis
James P. Clark and Dan \V. Jones
were elevated to the gubernatorial
chair. The change of front caino
about after he had held a consul
tation with (iuv. Davis. This
action is believed to indicate :i
trade, and that Davis has promis
ed Bourland his support for at
torney-general, while tie runs for
a third term us governor.

Limit.
Agony From Inherit
ed Heart Disease.
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
Cured Me.
One person in every four has a weak heart.
Unless promptly treated a weak heart will
easily become a diseased heart. A little extra
strain from any cause is sufficient to bring on
this deadly malady, the most common cause
of sudden death. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure will
tone up the heart's action, enrich the blood
and improve the circulation.
“My trouble began with catarrh and I lave
always supposed it caused the trouble I have
experienced with my heart. I had the usual
symptoms of sleeplessness, lost appetite, con
stipation, palpitation of the heart, shortness
of breath and pain around the heart and un
der left arm. My mother suffered in the same
way and 1 suppose mine was an inherited
tendency. At one time I was in agony. I
suffered so severely and became so weak
that my doctors said I could not live thirty
days. At this time I had not slept over two
hours a night on account of nervousness.
'1 he least exercise, such as walking about,
would bring on palpitation and fluttering ot
the heart so severe that I would have to give
up everything and rest. Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me of constipation and heart
symptoms disappeared under the influence
of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. I am in
better health than I have been in twelve
years and I thank Dr. Miles’ Remedies for it.
I think they are the grandest remedies on
earth and I am constantly recommending
them to my friends."—Mrs. L. J. CaNTREU,
