NOTE BY THE MANUFACTURER:
Somo manufacturers boast of how large
their bottles of medicine are. Others of how
sweet their's is. Others of how cheap their’s
is. I boast only of the great merit of John
son’s Tonic. I am in the medicine business,
not in tho confectionery lino. I have striven
to make the tiest medicine, not tho sweetest.
Johnson’s Tonic has made a record for itself
of having cured 576 oases of lever out of
•very 577 cases. We are not In the business
to tickle the people’s palate, but to cure them.
Those people who regard their palutes of
more importance than their lives are not
worth saving. When life and death are the
Issues, the tasteor the size or the price are toe
trifling matters to consider. Johnson's Tonic
cures. That is a good reason for using it.

Col. Zeb Ward.
Col. Zeb Ward, for many years lev
see of the Kentucky aud Arkansas
penitentiaries, and one of the best
known men in Little Rock, and well
known throughout the state, died the
other night. He had been in ill-health

two weeks before his death. Heart
and kidney trouble was the immediate
cause. He was 73 years of age.

Church »ml State.
At a recent meeting of the Little
Rock Pastors’ association the follow
ing was adopted:
Whereas, Large sums of money nreannual
ly appropriated by the general government for
private and sectarian sch<x>ls, and
Whereas, Such appropriations are quasi
alliances between church and state and con
trary to the spirit of our free Institutions;
therefore.
Retolred, That we view with alarm the ap
propriation of public moneys.for other than the
legitimate purposes of government, and earn
estly protest against any further appropriation
to any school controled in whole or In part by
private individual or religious society, either
for services, expenses or otherwise.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to our senators and representatives in con
gress and to the press.
Arkansas Claim*.
Secretary Carlisle and Secretary
Smith had a conference at the treasury
department, Washington, a few days
ago, for the purpose of adjusting the
differences between the state of Ar
kansas and the United States, growing
out of claims made by the state for
lands and by the government for money
on account of arms advanced, which
have been pending for some time, and
which caused Gov. Fishback to visit
Washington not long ago. A general
statement of the amount claimed by
each was submitted to Secretary Smith,
and an agreement reached which will
be transmitted to Gov. Fishback for his
concurrence.
Mandamused the School Hoard.
The Hot Springs school board has
been mandamused by a committee
representing the colored citizens of the
city through their attorneys. Wood &
Henderson, to compel the board to
furnish school accommodations for the
colored children. Since the burning of
the colored schools last winter the
facilities have been inadequate, and
the board would not rebuild because
the insurance companies refuse to in
sure colored people's school buildings
in Hot Springs, fearing they would
meet the fate of those that were
burned by incendiaries.

Silas Medley, a well-to-do farmer at
Genoa, 4 miles south of Texarkana,

o’clock in apparently good health and
spirits, llis dead body was found in
bed the next morning, and an empty
morphine bottle on a table by the bed
told the story. He left no letters, and
the motive for the suicide is not
known.
