FRIDAY. APRIL 3, 1008
Returns from the recent election
seem to indicate that the people of Ar
kansas don't think they need a politi
cal guardian.
As the tall sycamore of White river
is coming back to the Senate the ship
of state, in the words of the poet, will
feel a thrill of life along her Keel.
Arkansas Gazette.
A vote was taken on the state-wide
prohibition question in the recent pri
mary in Jackson county. The result
■was 1 ,;;;12 for state-wide prohibition
and 4SJ against. But it is the negro
vote that puts Jackson county in the
“wet’’ column, and when the license
question is submitted to the voters in
the September election.-the result will
not be a landslide for either side.
POLITICAL CONFIDENCE
Evidently there is coming in our
midst again this very essential thing—
integrity in polities. This was ex
pressed by som of our citizens in re
gard the fair count that would be given
in the recent primary.
This is a> it should be. and such
talk is the initiative step in that di
rection, a step needed to he taken and
maintained until political confidence is
established once more, u> in the days
of our fathers.
A man's vote is sacred. It is his
strong arm of offence and defense,
both to push forward good govern
ment, maintain it after it is enthroned
and defend it when it is assailed.
The primary here was free from any
(Suspicion of unfairness and nothing
of any special note occured to indicate
that American freedom was not allow
ed free rule and reign.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

STORE WRECKED; TWO HURT
Mountain Home, March ^0. —This
morning a little after 11 o'clock the
:own was thrown into ‘ntense excite
ment by an explosion in the store of
Albert Baker, wrecking the entire
building and damaging the goods to a
sonsiderable extent. It developed that
two cans of powder had exploded but
how will always remain a mystery.
In the store at the time were Albert
Baker, Austin Baker and John Coven-1
ton. Allan! Baker was at the front
end and escaped injury, while Austin
Baker and Mr. Coventon were injured,
Coventon badly and Baker seriously.
Austin Baker was standing nearly
over the powder cans at the time and
was in the act of handing something
to Coventon. He was blown about 10
feet away and (.'oventon was blown
across the room.
Fire was scattered all over the build
ing and great clouds of smoke poured
from the house, making it impossible
to enter from the front.
The timely arrival of the bucket bri
gade saved the contents and building
from utter destruction.
Baker and Coventon were both bad
ly burned and and bruised, but will
recover.
ROMANCE AND REALITY
“TjPt the youngsters have the’r ro
mance an’ it’ll be all the better for
’em ef they frit a party good close on
it: but don’t hide from ’em the fact
that thar’s somethin’ in the shape of
trouble a-waitin’ for ’em up the road,”
said Mr. Billy Sanders. "Not big
trouble, too by shore, but jest biff
enough to make ’em stick closer to
gether. It aint no use to try to rub
out the Tact that life is what it is. It’s
full ot rough places, an’ thar are
times when you have to leave the big
road an’ take a short cut through the
bamboo briers for to.keep from slipp
in’ in a mud-hole. The briers hurt,
but the mud-hole mought smifflcate
you. It aint no use to deny it. trouble
i-, seasonin’. I never knotv’d it to
hurt anybody but the weakminded, the
wilful, anci them that was born to the
purple. ” Joel Chandler Harris in
I'ncle Remus’s Magazine.

IN YOUNG MAN
Cooper’s New Theory Attracts Widespread
Attention During Stay in Cincinnati.
An adequate idea of the intense in
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
^ven iu the following article which
Appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
(ooper was introducing his ideas to
the people of that city. The article
says* “The beginning of Mr. Coopers
Lcond week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
“From the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead
ily increased, until now it has reached
a point where several thousand taliv
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested in his
theory that the human stomach is
degenerate, and he already has anj
army of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims are cor
rect.
“A number of Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper’3 headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, show’ing their intense faith
in Cooper’s preparations, were secured.
The following are selected from these
statements and are characteristic of
them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson of 630
West Court street, said: ‘I have suf
fered with stomach trouble and con
stipation for a year or so. When I
ate I w*ould have bloated spells, sour
stomach, fermentation, bad taste in
tny mouth. In the morning i was as
tired as when I went to bed. I had aj
dull pain in the lower part of my back.!
I have taken almost one bottle of the
Nl*w Discovery and am so wonderfully
improved that I have come down here
to thank Mr. Cooper in person and ob-;
tain more of the medicine.
“Another individual interviewed was
Mr J H. Brooks, living at 527 Walnut,
street, who had the following to say:;
For the past eighteen months I have
been a constant sufferer from catarrh,
of the head and stomach. My nasal
passages would become inflamed and.
sore. I would have severe headaches,
which affected my eyes, and great
crusts of matter would drop into the
throat, causing an irritation of the
bronchial passages, until the stomach
finally became poisoned. When I would
lay down at night a phlegm would
gather in my throat until it almost
choked me, and would cause an an
noying cough. Half a bottle of
Cooper's .Now Discovery gave me re
lief and when the first bottle was fin
ished I felt like a new man. I am
now completely cured and consider
Cooper's New Discovery the greatest
catarrh, blood and stomach remed> in
the w'orld.’ ”
The Cooper preparations have been
wonderfully successful throughout the
United States. We consider them re
markable medicines and would be
pleased to explain the nature of them.
