CONVICT LEASES
Arkansas Governor Pardons
360 Prisoners as Rebuke to
Penal System.
1.11 TLE ROCK, ARK.. Dee. 17.—8e
(-tuse he considered the convict lease
svsteni in Arkansas inhuman and sen-
imposed by magistrates a mis
! t iege of justice, Governor George
\V Donaghey in effect abolished the
ease system when he issued pardons to
:;iti state and 44 county convicts.
Pri-oners engaged in building roads
vill continue to serve their sentences.
< inly those being worked under lease
contracts will be set free. Their sen
tern ■ - range from one to fifteen years.
Tin wholesale pardoning wipes out the
three largest convict camps in the state.
Governor Donaghey, who retires from
office n January, will send a special mes
sage t ’ die Arkansas legislature, when it
convenes, calling attention to this extra
ordinari use of the pardon power and de
manding that laws be enacted to legally
abolish the lease system, reorganize the
state penal system and restrict authority
of magistrates to Impose sentences for
trivial offenses. It is declared that in
man? instances magistrates have im
sed sentences for misdemeanor of
fenses that in other states would have
been considered excessive for felony
charges.
l r months Governor Donaghey lias
lieen making a careful study of the con
vict system in Arkansas and in view of
developments that have been made pub
lic from time to time, his action in or
dering the hundreds of convicts liber
ated is not a surprise in this state. He
has had special agents and detectives in
vestigating conditions and he has acted
upon information furnished by them, as
well as from personal inspections of the
camps.

Jacobs’ Cathartic Dovers-Quinine
Relieves Without Affecting Sight or
Hearing, Cold in the Head or Chest,
Coughs, Grippe, etc.
Does Not Act Like Quinine
A IIIAR7K DOX LRS-Ql ININE possesses all the curative virtue of quinine without its
bad effects, and is perfectly safe for any one to take. It does not nauseate or gripe,
does not cause ringing or buzzing nor make yon dizzy, does not affect the sight. Taken
at the beginning of a cold it does not produce heavy sweat and you can continue your work
without interruption; but it throws the cold out of your system so quickly you hardly real
ize you had a cold.
Relieves Congestion by Stimulation
Combines with the quinine, cascara sagrada, which is one of the best laxatives known.
The first thing it does is to stinfulate the liver to increased activity and relieve the conges
tion through free bowel movement. Then, with increased fiver activity and blood flowing
<iuickly. muscles relax and nerves are relieved from the tense strain. The quinine draws
out the fever and inflammation, opens the passages of the head and breaks up the cold al
once.
z
Quickest, Safest Remedy and Easiest to Take
All pains and aches are relieved after two or three doses; in a few hours even a deep
seated eold or hard attack of grippe is completely broken up. We know of nothing that
acts so quickly ami with so little discomfort to the patient. Taken at the beginning of a
cold or grippe, it will prevent a severe attack.
Prepared in both forms. Tablets and Capsules; and if wanted in liquid form, contents
of capsules can be dissolved in water. It is our own preparation, prepared in our own labor
atory. and we believe there is no better or safer remedy for Colds, Coughs, Grippe, Fever
ish Headache, etc. Sold with our Positive Guarantee; If you are not thoroughly satisfied
with results obtained, we will refund your money.
