FRIDAY. MAY
There'll bo a hot time when Jell
and George begin to spout oil
from the same stump.
There is at present about six
candidates for governor next year
not including Davis and Murphy.
We ha' e, it on good authority
that Governor l>a\ is has promised
to sign the bill to repeal the mus
sel law. ________
An exchange says that since the
legislature has adjourned the squir
rol-heads will now have nothing
to talk about. We suppose they
can ’spute over Jeff an’ George.
On his return from St. Louis 11
few days ago Editor Waterman of
the Newport News met Governor
Davis in the sleeper, jostled against
him in passing, glared at him over
his specks and refused to speak.
Poor old Jeff! We know he i.
heart-broken.
Attorney General Murphy has
filed four or five suits against
Governor Davis for money alleged
to have been wrongfully drawn
from his contingent fund. The
attorney general is allowing his
prejudice to run away with his
better judgment.
One thing that so endeared the
H' brthe Arkansas
Democrat is the fact that a number
of bills were passed over the gov
ernor’s veto. However, this is no
evidence of any great amount of
legislative wisdom, and we could
mention several bills passed over
the veto that are no credit to the
body, one of which is the notorious
newspaper and stamp steal.
The Arkansas Democrat says the
legislature just closed was compos
ed of better men than any similar
body for a score of years. Of
course! The legislature virtually
gave the Democrat about §10,00b
and we suppose it feels like it
ought to hand out a little taffy tv
the members. Put will the Dem
ocrat please mention some of tin
good things the legislature ac
complished?
We notice that a number oi
gentlemen have been mentioned a
probable candidates for attorney
general next year. The Journal
would like to see Hon. S. 1>.
Campbell, of Newport, in the at
torney general’s office. There b
not an abler lawyer in the state or
a man better fitted for the position.
We hope he will enter the race
and believe he will Ik* elected if he
decides to become a candidate.
Scott’s Emulsion is the
means of life and of the en
joyment of life of thousands of
men, women and children.
To the men Scott's Emul
sion gives the flesh and
strength so necessary for the
cure of consumption and the
repairing of body losses from
any wasting disease.
For women Scott’s Emul
sion does this and more. It is
most sustaining food and
dr for the special trials that
have to bear.
To children Scott’s Emul
gives food and strength
owth of flesh and bone
blood. For pale girls,
*n and sickly boys Scott’s
is a great help.

The Newark School District.
Following is the bill passed by
the legislature creating the New
ark special school district:
Be it courted by the genera! as-!
setnbly of the state of Arkansas:- j
Sec. 1. That the incorporated j
town of Newark and the tracks j
jand parcels of land lying adjacent j
thereto, described b,v metes and
I bounds as follows: Beginning at
the north-east corner of section 4,
running thence west between town
ships 12 and 13 to the northwest
corner of section (i, thence south
to the south-west corner of tho
north-west quarter of section 7,
thence east to the south-east cor
ner of the north-east quarter of
section ft, thence north to the place
of beginning, all in township 12
north of range 4 west, in Indepen
dence county, Arkansas, including
all the territory now known as
SLMiooi aisiriet .\o. no, nnu me
same is hereby organized into a
special school district to l>c known
and styled “The School district
of Newark."
Sec. 2. That on the day of the
next annual school election after
the passage of this act. the quali
fied electors of said district, as
provided in this act, shall meet in
the town of Newark and elect from
the electors of said district six di
rectors with the qualifications re
quired by law, and said directors
shall determine b,\ lot among
themselves their term of office,
two for one year, two for two
years, and two for three years; and
said district shall annually there
after, on the day of the annual
school election, elect two qualified
school directors who shall hold
their office three years, and said
district of Newark shall be gov
erned by the laws governing other
special school districts in this state.
Sec. 3. That the special school
district of Newark, in Indepen
dence county, Arkansas, herein
created, is hereby authorized and
empowered to borrow the sum of
§4,000 for the erection of neces
sary school buildings, to mortgage
any part or all of the real proper
ty id' said school district of New
ark under such conditions and reg
ulations as to amount, not exceed
ing §4,000, time and manner of
payment as the board of directors
shall prescribe.
See. 4. Said mortgage of real
property shall be in form in all re
spects as are other instruments of
like kind and shall he construed
and held to have the same force
and effect as though it had been the
act of an individual, and against
such instrument said district shall
be allowed no defense in law or
equity not accorded to individuals.
Sec. 5. Nothing in this act shall
be so construed as to prevent or
cut off from said school district of
Newark any right in law or equity
which as a real person it might
claim, but in any action by or
against said dist rict under this act,
it shall be deemed and treated, so
far as may be practicable, as a
real person.
Sec. (i. That this net shall take
effect and be in force from and af
ter its passage.
Sping Ailments.
There is an aching and tired feel
ing: the liver, bowels and kidne.vs
become sluggish and inactive, the
digestion impaired, with little or
ambition for anything and a feel
ing that the whole bod,\ and mind
needs toning up. The trouble is
' that during winter there has been
; an accumulation of waste matter in
I the system. Herhine will remove
it, secure to the secretions a right
exit, and by its tonic effect fully
restore the wasted tissues and give
strength in place of weaeness.

Better Keep an Eye Open.
A prominent ollice-seeker of
j Arkansas says that in the next
campaign Jelf Davis will carry
seventy counties and a slice or >o
off Louisiana. Well, to say the
least of it, Louisiana had best keep
an eye open. The governor has
boon known to take things that
‘lid not belong to him.- Sharp
County Record.
Work Trains Collide.
Two work trains collided on the
\\ liite River road near Renter's
Bluff last Friday evening. The
train coming down was running
eaboo.se and train foremost. The
j trains were rounding a curve and
came together with a good deal of
j force, demolishing the engine of
the west-bound train and the qa
| boose and seven cars of the c tlyf-r j
train. Fortunately
seriously injured.

For Those Who Live on Farms.
!>r- Herein, Pana, 111., writes “ I (
have u^*-d Ballard's Snow Lini
ment; always recommend it to my
friends, as I am confident there is j
no better made. It is a dandy for
burns.” Those who live on farms
are especially liable to many acci
dental cuts, burns and bruises|
which heal rapidly when Ballard's j
Snow Liniment is applied. It]
should always be kept in the house

The Council fleeting.
The council met Monday night
: but transacted no business of im
; portanee except to pass an ordi
nance to prohibit trains from
I blockading street crossings longer
{than ten minutes. A warm dis
cussion was brought out over a
| proposition to raise the marshal's
[ salary, but no definite action was
taken.
A Sure Thing

death and taxes but that is not al
together true. Dr. King's New Dis

In answer to your question last
•eek as to why I voted for the re
eal of the shell bill that became a
iw, will say 1 certainly made my
osition plain in a marked copy of
lie Democrat sent you, but will
end a copy again.
1 am sure protection is neces
ary. The act 1 voted to repeal,
II know, was not my bill by a big
>t. My original bill wassochang
d by senate amendments and made |
o drastic that it was worse than
10 law. 1 talked with friends as
o concurrence and wo decided it j
•otter to concur and then pit" a i
upplemental bill modifyi ng it.
rhis course, as all know, was tol- j
lowed. Then, as the great mogul
retoed that bill, no course was left
as but to repeal the whole thing,
which we did by an almost unani- j
rnous vote in both branches, be-1
lieving it better to let the beds be
lestroyed than to put thousands

were dependent upon this line of

The Big Dance Friday Night.
The "swellest” dance the New- (

ime was given by Charley Mag
ic—, in the button factory building !
Friday night. The building is
lo x So feet and had just been:
■ompleted. None of the machin
■ry had been placed in the build- j
ng and it was art ideal place for a
lance. It seemed also that every- 1
tody was just in the proper mood {
ind we think it safe to say that j
here was never a dance in Newark j
nore thoroughly enjoyed than this
me. It was a happy and good
latured crowd and not a thing was
lone or said by anyone to mar the
