HILARIOUS HENS .D'
The Girls Bounce the Boys and Have a
 Power of Fun.

The girls had so much pure. una dulterated fun at their "hcn" parties last spring that they determined to take advantage of the absence of all the male population in Helena and re- peat the experience. So Thursday night they met at the residence of l.. Roll wage and "tee-hee'dn and "oh. my d. to their hearts content. The hilarity was of Il penetrating, if subdued. char acter. The people in the adjoining blocks will testify that the girls had a lot of fun. We can't report the exact proceedings. because the dear creatures organized sort of Masonic lodge and pledged eternal secrecy as to the mJs- terious occurrences of the occasion. but they had fun.
 The few boys left in town got to- gether and sent down a large candy rooster, which was immediately dis sected and sent back. They then sent q real, live rooster, the neck of which was wrung and the headless fowl also returned to the donors. This put a Quietus on the gallantry of tine "roost- ers.' and the dear hens" were not again mclested
 Mrs F. N. Folbre acted as musical director. and the following "hens,r en costume. were present.
 Mesdames, ]. II. Bard-Marchioness, of Kent; l.. Rollwage A School Girl; Rogers - Gipsey Maid; Cummings Ballet Girl; Gatlln--Child of the Regi. ment; Graham Beppo, the Indian Chief; Henry Gorman-Little Lord Fauntelroy; Sam Johnston - Nell Gwynne; Colt -- Huckleburry Finn; Stone-L Lotter; Sneed Little Butter cup; Manning Young Fitznootlle.

Death of Edgar Laughinxhnuse

This community was shocked Satur- day night upon learning of the sudden death of Edgar. ths i6-year-old son If Mir. and Mrs, Fenner Laugh ughouse He was at his post in |. w. Beck & Co. s store on Thursday. He complained of feeling unwell, but no one dreamed that he would 80 soon be called upon to face a fatal Illness. Friday he was too Ill to go to the store, and Saturday at 5:a0 p. m. he suceumbed to that dread malady, malarial hematuria. The fll- neral services were held at the Method ist church Sunday afternoon, and q large concourse of sorrowing friends paid the last sad tributes to the dead boy at old Mount Vernon cemetery.
 Death IS sad to contemplate, even when the cycling years have swept life's bark close in to the "other shore V and trembling. palsietl hand stretch out to meet an answering touch from gentle Azrael's caressing fingers but when the young are cut down just as, with eager feet, they press onward with longing hearts to manhood's cher ished goal and life's glinting pathway glows with flood of golden light, it brings and anguished sorrow no human words may tell.
 To the grief stricken parents and rel atiyes we tender our heartfelt sympa- thies in their terrible bereavement.

 The Stewart Brothers, proprietors of the patent swing, have demeaned them selves as thorough gentlemen since their arrival in this city. In addition to tn they have been very kind to the children, to whom they have shown every possible courtesy, and it is too bad that their property should be stolen. It is gratifying to state the thief is not a resident of Forrest City. and we hope he will receive the punishment his meanness deserves.

 l regard t as the iuty-the imperative duty --of every citizen of St. Francis county who has at heart the good of the county to do all in his power to bring about restoration of fratcrnal feeling among tho people. have my ideas ot what should have been done-of mistakes that havo been made-but fhis is not the time to discuss these questions f.et them let us live for the future
 St. Francis Is as good n county as the state contains. | know her people to be as noble aud geuerpus-hearted as any on the face of ihr globe. aud yet they stand divided into fnctlons Ihis ls wrong. Understand contiemn no one l undertake to say that uu both sides of the poiltlcai fence In St, Francis county stand as unselhsh patriots as live. Each faction may be right in some things and wrong in some Let us put the most charitable construction upon the actions or our neighhors and laying aside little petty spites and cnmities march grandly united in the uphuildinr of our in- tcrests.
 Some of my friends In tho county know that urged this course last summer. but circum- stances were against us then. Now the case IS different, Our interests all demand that we clasp hands ' and select corps of county ohrcials who, in the administration of the af- taifs ot tue county, shall rise above party and do dc full justice to all. Let no man stand in the way Men should not bo taken into con sderation when the welfare of Il whole com. munity k at stake.
 Let plan of compromise be adoptci hich shall be fSir to all concerned. Ask no man 10 ne people will see then the importance of tho movement and Its fairness and all will be well. W. :. BGoOGEs.
