THE WONDER BERRY.
Mr- Luther Burbank, the plant Wiz
ard of California, has originated a
wonderful new plant which grows any
where, in any soil or climate, and bears
great quantities of luscious berries all
the season. Plants are grown from
seed, and it takes only three months
to get them in bearing, and they may
be grown and fruited all summer in
the garden, or in pots during the win
ter. It is unquestionably the greatest
Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr.
Burbank has made Mr. John Lewis
Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y., the in
troducer. He says that Mr. Childs is
i one of the largest, best-known, fair
: est and most reliable Seedsman in
America. Mr. Childs is advertising
seed of the Wonderberry all over the
world, and offering great inducements
to Agents for taking orders for it.
This berry is so fine and valuable, and
so easily grown anywhere, that every
body should get it at once.

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater
nity. It is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre
dients and taken properly. The fol
lowing formula is effective: “To one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring.”
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma
ceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.
A Slight Misunderstanding.
Little Helen Bentley of Los Angeles,
aged live, dearly loves her grandma,
who has been living with her and her
parents. Recently grandma went to
Seattle for a visit, and caught cold
on the way. When she arrived there,
yshe wrote back to Helen's parents that
,'lfrrWfc>hnd_reached Seattle, but had had
la hard fight with the grip. Helen
I wanted to hear what grandma had to
isay, and the letter was read to her.
I Sootr afterward she saw one of her
neighbors, and exclaimed: “Oh, Mrs.
Smith, we’ve had a letter from grand
ma. She got to Seattle all right, but
she had a terrible fight with her va
lise."

Simmons’ Liver Purifier is the most

Rice Land Bill Passed
By a unanimous vote of all the
members present the Senate passed
Senate Bill No. 27 to give canal com
panies in Arkansas the right of
eminent domain, listened to a speech
from Senator Oarlock against in
creasing the salaries of the circuit
judges, adopted a resolution origin
ally adopted in the house for the in
vestigation of all the furniture be
longing to the Genera! Assembly and
j to see what disposition was made
of the stamps that were refused by
legislators at the last session, and ad
journed for the day at 11:10 o'clock
so that the senators could attend the
good roads convention.
The debate on the eminent domain
bill for canal companies was short.
Senator Rasco of Arkansas explain
ed the bill and declared that its
passage and approval would mean that
small farmers in the rice belt would
be enabled to engage in rice culture
without having to go to the ex
pense of installing a private water
supply. Senator Yopp author of the
bill, also made a brief speech in
support of the bill.
House is Peer of Senate.
After passing three special bills
walking rather heavily on two Senate
measures and considering other bills
and resolutions, one of which pro
vides for the issuance of an invita
> v/4* ujc jiai i yi l uc icgioiauii r iu
William Jennings Bryan, who speaks
at Hope Friday, to address the legis
lature Saturday morning at 10 o'clock,
the house adjourned at noon on ac
couni of the good raods convention.
The session was devoid of any
startling passages. Probably the
significant feature of the program was
the manner in which the lowfer branch
handled the Senate resolution pro
viding for the appointment of a joint
committee to draw up a bank guaranty
law. What was interpreted by some
to be the keynote of the situation
was sounded during the morning
when hearty applause followed the
declaration of Mr. Shafer of Critten
den to the effect, that he was opposed
'o the "House being made an appendix
the Senate." He was opposing
t e joint levee committee proposal at
ihe time and the house indicated, in
the manner in which it received the
declaration and also in the manner in
which it voted down the two Senate
measures, that it intended to look
after its own interests and showed
a marked disposition to resent any
effort to put the Senate above the
house.
The speaker announced that he had
appointed the following additional
committeemen: Education, Mr. Gann
jf Benton and Mr. Toler of Grant:
Hoads and highways, Mr. Thompson
uf Greene and Mr. Estes of Boone; j
Medicine, Mr. Hancock of Yell and
Mr. Hamilton of Ouachita; Temper
ance, Mr. Bradham of Bradley, Mr.
Shockley of Saline, Mr. Floyd of
Howard and Mr. Fisher of Franklin.
L.. B. Kinsworthy, general attorney
for the Iron Mountain; John T. Hicks,
attorney for the Hock Island, and
John C. Hawthrone of Jonesboro, at
torney for the Cottn Belt, appeared
before the committee, but each at
torney when asked if he desired to
be heard on the bill, said he had no
sugestions to offer.
Do Not Oppose "War Bill."
The Senate Committee on Railroads
field a three-hour session during which I
it considered all the bills before it, the
most important of which was House
Bill No. Ill, by Mr. Parks, appropriat
ing $50,000 to be used by the Ar
kansas Railroad Commission in em- j
:)lovinu counsel to defend the states i
interest in the railroad rate contro
versy, and by a unanimous vote it
was decided to report it favorably.
Primary Election Measure.
Senator Rowland’s bill to regulate
the primary election of Arkansas is
i drastic measure and 300 copies were
ordered printed. In the first place the
bill provides that all primaries shall |
be legalized and all the elections laws j
shall apply, except that all officers of
ne election shall be of the same poli- I
deal party. The bill contains a pro- j
vision that all candidates tor county
offices must file, after the primaries
md with the' county clerk and itemiz-1
■d statement of what it cost each
candidate to make the race. The bill
makes it a misdemeanor for nay per
son, who is a candidate for office, to
give to any person, or promise to any j
person, the gift of any valuable thing
for support. It al:so makes it un
lawful for any person to solicit any
valuable thing from a person running
lor office.
