L'ho weather man must be work
ing off a lot of old left-over win
ter weather on us.
Of course the Sharp County
Record will now go in, teeth and
toe nails, for Grover.
Things tv ill be rather lively out
ie Kansas with Aunt Carrie Nation
and the bubonic plague both doing
business at the same time.
Newark is not only out of debt
(•at has about$600 in the treasury.
Not many towns the size of New
ark can sport a $600 bank account.
Carrie Nation has opened a home
for the wives of drunkards. Many
female joint smashers took part in
1he dedication exercises but nc
men are allowed on the promises.
The last democratic national
platform declared against govern
ment by injunction, but we pro
diet that this plank will be a back
number around the state house foi
the next few weeks.
It seems that Uncle Grover i?
trying mighty hard to keep him
self before the public eye. lie
made a speech at Madison Square
Garden, New York, on the race
. ^problem. last week and again got
‘ liTrnsef? ’’mentioned'Tor president.
The people expect a newspaper
man to stand up for home and al
ways be ready to puncture the cuti
cle of anybody who dares to assail
their interests, but some of these
same people don’t hesitate to give
it to the newspaper man in tlu
neck when the opportunity pre
sents itself.
We have been asked for oui
opinion on the mussel bills intro
duced in the legislature, and,
while we know of nothing that has
as little weight or is less respected
than a newspaper man’s opinion,
we are free to say that we think, a
f
Governor Davis said about his in
vestigation, its all moonshine. Wt
can’t see where legislation on this
question will benefit any body al
all, but, of course, the boys musl
have some fool thing to put ir
their time on or they would havt
to adjourn and would fail to draw
their old per day. The pearl
ing business is one the legislature
should have never dabbled with al
all. lfut if we were going to drafi
a bill with the expectation of ii
tiecoming a law, we would prohibii

The Journal is under obligations
' to lion. I. J. Matheny for a copy
, of the report and testimony taken
before the ways and means com
mittee in its investigation of the
’ charges against Governor Davis.
Our good friend Coger, of the
great metropolitan Sharp County
Record, pretends to be awfully
embarrassed and says its terrible to
be bored to death by a small augur
like The Journal. Perhaps so;
but that reminds us that we have,
on several occasions, seen a horse
fly make a donkey squirm.
J. Pierpont Morgan celebrated
his 66th birthday last Friday.
Mr. Morgan can accomplish great
things in the financial world, but
he cannot arrest the flight of time
or keep himself from growing old,
and if he should some day drop off
into the firey regions old Satan
would probably drag him over the
coals as carelessly as he does an
ordinary hobo.
Senator George Sengel, of Fort
Smith, is being urged to become a
candidate for governor next year.
Senator Sengel is strictly a busi
ness man and as governor would
reflect credit upon himself and the
state. Ho is a broad minded and
inteligent man and his career as
senator from the 28th district has
been an honorable one. But he is
also a progressive man, and a ma
jority of the Davis element would
probably be against him.
Editor Tabor of the Searchlight
at Little Rock is working up quite
a reputation as a scrapper, for a
preacher. Ho makes himself very
conspicuous as a lobbiest when
any legislation bearing on the tem
perance question is under consid
eration, and during the past week
he has had at least two or three
fistic encounters with representa
tives in the lobby of the house, one
of which was with Keel of .lack
son couuty. It may be all right,
but it seems to us as a little un
scriptural for a preacher to try to
beat religion into a man with his
fist.
The Paragould Soliphone is the
rankest Clarke paper in Arkansas.
So far as we have been able to as
certain the Soliphone is about the
only paper in the state that has
attempted to defend Clarke’s con
duct in raising a row with Brun
didge. But the Soli phone's argu
ment is mighty thin and will not
bear comparison with the facts.
\\ e are surprised that a progres
sive paper like the Soliphone
whose editorial utterances are gen
erally characterized by wisdom
and good judgment, should coun
tenance, much less attempt to de
fend, such ungcntlemanly conduct
by a state, official.

That Pearling Bill.
Editor Newark Journal.
A letter from the Hon. 1. J.
Matheny containing the following
was handed me with the request
that I send it to you for publica
tion:
“The last pearl bill has passed
the senate and if the governor
signs it our pearling law be: closed
season January, February and
March. In waters over seven feet
| deep you will be allowed to use all
; tools; under seven the crow-foot
and dredge are prohibited. This
law does not hurt us. I fought
the first bill because I think it
1 ruined the pearl industry, and did
what 1 could to pass the last one
because it brought the first down
| until we were not hurt. 1 am of
the opinion that the governor will
not sign the bill, so tell the boys
1 not to hunt until they tind out. I
don’t want to see rny friends in
trouble for violating the law.”
Now, Mr. Editor, let’s hear from
you on this question; you have
time to think; we have to plow.
If a man pearls in 0-foot water,
who cares; If I understand the
above it is only a legislative time
killer, will cost the state a good
big sum of money and will not be
worth the paper it is written on;
will be a law that cannot be en
forced. I say, stop pearling al
together or allow the people to
pearl in any water that suits their
convenience.
It seems to me that we have
about the most simlin-hoaded set
of legislators that ever convened in
the state house. I am not speaking
of any one person, but the body as 1
a whole. I would write more, but i
my writing is like their laws—no
good. Yours truly, Tkux.
Walks Without Crutches
I was much afflicted with sciati
ca, writes Ed C. Nud, of lowaville,
Sedgwick county, Ivan., “going a
bout on crutches and suffering a
deal of pain. I was induced to try
Ballard's Snow Liniment, which
relieved me. 1 used three 50eent
bottles. It is the greatest liniment
I ever used; have recommended it
to a number of persons and all ex
press themselves as being benefit
ted by it. I now walk without
crutches, able to perform a great
deal of light labor on the farm."

Physicians Could (
Not Prevent Fits. <
Dr. Miles’Nervine Cured
My Wife.
Pr Mile** Nervine has been successful!v <
! tried m thousands of cases of nervous disor
ders, but neverjlias it made a better record than
| when used in the treatment of fits or spasms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in (
nearly every instance the writer has stated ,
that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner
vine was riven. The statement is repeated
| in the following: *
“Seven veers ago my wife commenced ,
( having spasms or fits and I called in my *
, home phvsician and he said she was para f
■ iyzed. lie rubbed her with salt water and
gave her calomel and she eventually got t
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her '
j bed fur three months and the doctor could j
j not help her. She had fits frequently, some
! times very severe. Her hands would cramp <
; so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked.
! Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no
j good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles' Re- \
1 storative Nervine. She received so much
i !>cnetit from the first bottle that 1 got some *
i more. She has taken a number ot bottles
j but has never had a fit since taking the first 1
i do'e She also thinks very highly of Dr. l
j Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills and is never
w thout them. If there is any way of mak- ]
' mg this testimonial stronger do so because
of the good the Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv- t
me did mv wife.!i—Wm. Y. ALLEN, P. M

FOR MALARIA.
An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol
low the wet season and the high waters
which have prevailed ail over the
South. Malarial aud kindred fevers
will develope to an alarming extent.
General health conditions will be bad;
every precaution should be taken.
The System Must Especially Be For
tified te Resist Malarial Attacks.
A trial of fifty years has demonstrat- j
ed that for this emergency, Ur. Har- ;
ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron iB
the fighting element in the blood, and
the kind of iron supplied by Dr. Har
ter’s Iron Tonic is just, the kind the
system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don't wait until
you are attacked. Take it now and for- j
tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard
and, at the same time, it is the best
tonic and invigorant for the entire sys
tem. On the other hand, quinine dis
turbs the system and its cumulative
poison beget3 greater physical troubles
than those it is employed to remedy.
Where a bad case of chronic Malaria
already exists, take DR. HARTER'S
