Miss Harris has charge of my Millinery Department, and she. also, knows all about her department.
Miss Latimer assists her, and those wanting a pretty hat can save money by buying here, in
stead of sending away, or buying one of those machine-made hats, like some merchants
are selling. Miss Harris will trim you a hat to suit your own style of beauty just as
cheap as you can buy one of those machine-trimmed hats.
For the next 10 days we will sell every lady who v isits onr Hillinery Department 10 yards Manila Madras Lawn for only 25cts.

FRIDAY, APRIL 22. 1904.
A wave of Parker enthusiasm
seems to be sweeping over the
country.
A severe blizzard has been rag
ing throughout the North for the
past few days, and six inches of
snow fell in St. Louis Tuesday
night.
A canning factory would be a
good thing for Newark. Besides
furnishing employment for sever
al hands, it would enable the farm
ers to sell their surplus fruit and
vegetables.
Bulletin No. 7, issued lately by
the bureau of census, department
of commerce and labor, gives the
following estimated population of
Arkansas for the past three years:
1900, 1,311,564; 1901, 1,329,749;
1902, 1,357,934; 1903, 1,866,119.
Don’t get too gay and self-im
portant, young man. This old
world managed to drag along for
quite a while before you appeared
upon the scene, and the chances
are that it will continue to revolve
in the same manner long after you ,
are mouldering in the bosom of
mother earth.
It has been decided by the
World’s Fair management to in
stall electrical devices instead of j
having ticket sellers and ordinary
turnstiles during the exposition
period. The Lindeil entrace will
be the main gate to the exposition.
There are 32 turnstiles being in
stalled and through this entrace
alone it is estimated that at least
500 persons can pass every sixty
secons. To gain admission* to the
grounds a person must approach
the turnstile and place a half dol
lar in a slot. The half dollar as it
decends is still visible and releases
a lever which unkocks the turn
stile. The person then can pass
through the gates and the minute
that he is inside the turnstile is
locked. Individual gates are l>eing
installed for children. At these
turnstiles a quarter operates the
mechanism.
THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
The reports of tbe various offi
cials at the recent meeting of the
city council brings out the fact
that the fiscal year just closed has
been the most prosperous, from a
financial standpoint, in the history
of Newark. The total revenue,
from all sources during the year
amounted to $3,496.59. The total
expenditures for all purposes
amounted to $3,3:44.81, leaving a
net balance of $161.7s in the treas
ury.
During the year a total of 11*2
fines were assessed by Mayor Will
iamson, the total amount of which
was $228. The number of fines
assessed is smaller than under the
previous administration, and are
divided sis follows:
Assault, 38; larceny, 1; trains
blocking street crossing, 1; carry
ing concealed weapons, 1; indecen-1
cy on the streets, 3; leaving team*
hitched on the streets. 4; drunk
eness, 63.
Some good work was accomp
lished during the year, and it is no
reflection on previous administra
tions to >ay tiiat more substantial
public improvements were made
by the outgoing administration
than by any in the history of the
town.
This should lx* an ine€*ntive to
the present administration to push
forward with the good work and
we believe they will. They are
all good business men: men of
push and integrity, and men whom
The Journal believes would like to
>ee Newark grow and prosper.
Robbed The (irave
A startling incident, is narrated
by John Oliver of Philadelphia.as
follows: T was in an awful con
dition. My skin was almost yel
low, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides,
no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Then I was advised to
use Electric Bitters, to my great
joy. the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, and am now
a well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim.” No
one should fail to try them. Only
50 cents. guaranteed, at J. 1.
Sturdivant's drug store.
