Fred Hanger, a prominent Little Rock business man, was run over and killed by the cars at a point on the Fort Smith road about seven miles from Little Rock. Mr. Hanger owned a quarry a few hundred yards from the main track, to which runs a short spur. Laborers were loading some flat "ars with stone, when one of the cars got loose and started down the steep in cline toward the main line. Mr. Han ger jumped on one of the cars and tried to set the brake. Just as he got hold of the brake the cars collided with two others on the track, the jar causing Hanger to loose his hold and he was pitched head first onto the track. Three loaded cars passed over his body and death was instantaneous, lie leaves a wife and two young sons. Two Famllle* From Hot Spring! FerUhad. R. M. Smith and family and the fam ily of John R. Cox, of Hot Springs, it is feared were among1 the victims of the cyclone at Galveston. The two fam ilies occupied adjoining cottages on the beach. Mr. Smith left Hot Springs about a week before the disaster to join his family, and Mr. Cox was en route to the Gulf City, but was de tained at Houston on the night of the storm. Mr. Cox wired friends at Hot Springs from Galveston that he had been unable to locate any member of his own or Mr. Smith's family. R. M. Smith is grand master of the Masonic j lodge of the state. Sam H. Noll and wife and four children, of Hot Springs, were also victims of the cyclone. Later news confirms the report that Grand Master Smith and family were among the victims. Their bodies have uot been recovered, and they were doubtless among the many who were •eemated or buried at sea without dent ideation. Fate of Two Young Men* Harry Ziesler, aged 21, and Henry Hrandt. aged 24, were drowned in Old river, below Little Rock, on the 16th iust. They were of a party who went to spend the day picnicing. Just be fore time to leave for their home in Lit tle Rock the two young men got into a dugout to take a ride. When about twenty yards from the bank the boat capsized, and as neither occupant could swim they were drowned before friends on shore could go to their as sistance. Curious Freak of Nature. Tom Barber and wife, living in Little Rock, are the parents of a remarkable child. Both Barber and his wife are full blooded Africans, as black as night. They are intelligent, honest, hard working people. Their three old est children are as dark as their par ents. About a year ago twins were born to them, a boy and a girl, both of which were albinos of the purest type. The girl died, but the bov is in robust health and large for his age. Ilis skin is so white that it is almost transpar ent, his eyes large and pink, while his hair is light and flaxen and as kinky as any other coon’s could be. The con tour of its countenance is African in every feature of frontal view. Had a Touch Time. Sergeant Ben Morton, aged 22 years, is now in the hospital at Fort Smith recovering from another amputation of an arm. He has had a most eventful career for one so young. He gradu ated from Harvard with honors, toured Europe on a bicycle, fought in- the Spunish-American war on the Ameri can side through the campaign of Chickamauga, was mustered out with the Second Arkansas at Little Rock, enlisted in the regular army and went to the Philippies, where he lost an arm to a Filipino, after which he was unfit for duty and he was sent home with honors. Young Counterfeiters. Three young men, whose ages range from 19 to 20 years, giving their names as J. H. Phillips, B. R. Wade and J. T. Burr, of Cross county, were bound over by a United States commission at Hel ena to the federal grand jury. The young men are charged with counter feiting. They took copper cent pieces, covered them with some solution, mak ing them look like silver and passed them for ten cent pieces. They were sent to Little Rock for safe keeping. BRIEF MENTION.

The question to be deter mined is whether it requires a majori ty of all the electors in a county to car ry road tax or a majority of those vot ing. In his opinion the attorney gen eral says: “Where a statute requires a question to be decided, or an officer to be chosen, by the vote of the major ity of the voters of a county, this does not require that a majority of all per sons in the county entitled to vote shall actually vote affirmatively, but only that the result shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast. The vot ers of the county referred to by all such statutes are necessarily the voters who vote at that election, since the re sult in each case must be determined by a count of the ballots cast, and not by an inquiry as to the number not ■ast.” Change in Facultj. Prof. W. A. Crawford has resigned as principal of the preparatory depart ment of the state university, and is succeeded by Prof. O. A. Cole, of the faculty.

All my limbs were paralyzed, and I lay right in the path of an automobile that 1 could see coming toward me at a terrible rate of speed, with the lamps at the sides blazing like the two eyes of some terrible monster. Nearer and nearer it came, and I, in fearful agony, tried to drag myself out of the way, but-was unable to move. I tried to cry out, so that the man who was running the automobile might either stop | or turn aside and avoid running over me, but I could not make a sound. On, on it came, as if imbued with life and in a fury of frenzy. I had just given up myse.f for lost when—" "Yes," he interrupted, ‘‘then you woke up. But that isn’t the important part of it.

The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle, So That the People May Know Just What They Are Taking. Imitators do not advertise their formula knowing that you would not buy their medi cine if you knew what it contained. Grove’s contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives the malaria out of the system. Any reliable druggist will tell you that Grove’s is the Original and that all other so-called “Taste less” chill tonics are imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows that Grove’s is superior to all others in every respect. You are not experimenting when you take Grove’s—its superiority and excellence having long been established. Grove’s is the only Chill Cure sold throughout the entire malarial sections of the United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 50c* MOTE:—The record* of the Paris Medicine Oo., St. Loulst show that over one and one-half million bottles ot Grove's Tasteless Ohlll Tonic were sold last year and the sales are continually Increasing. The conclusion I* Inevitable that Grove's Tasteless Ohlll Tonlo Is n pm* scrlptlon for malaria having genuine meritr and nay druggist or chemist will tell you so. Those who knowwhat intense pain comes with some diseases of the e "i can hardly believe Mitchells EyeSalve is able to do all that is claimed for it, but a trial soon convinces any one of the extraordinary curative powers of this little remedy.
