NICE CLUB ROOMS.
The Rlks Of This City Have Fitted Up
Nice Retreat

The Elks Of this city, which order
Is composed Of the bone and sinew
Of Texarkaua citizenship, have GER
taiuly accomplished a feat of which
they should be proud. The order
has not been in existence in Tex
arkana long, but in an incredibly
short time the order has become
known both at home and abroad.
We were invited to their club rooms
Friday evening by Elk Brewer, and
mounting the stairs of the old Gov
ernment building, where the Elks
hold forth, Mr.. Brewer took out his
key and inserting it in a Yale lock
opened the door into the ante-room.
Here we found Hon, Charles Todd,
Sam Solinsky and Henry Heston
seated at tables, reading the latest
magazines or turning the leaves of
some Photographic album contain
ing famous pictures. We found that
the Elks had converted this room
into a parlor furnished with sumptu-
GUS lounges, hangings of laces and
tapestry, and the wall fairly glis-
tened with pictures encased in nice
frames. The floor was covered with
fine Brussels carpet, and many
Syrian rugs we're placed about the
room. We also noticed many lead
ing magazines and books on the
tables and were told by Mr.. Brewer
that this would be one of the fea-
lures of the lodge-to keep good,
clean, fresh literature on the tables.
Leaving the ante-room we were
next conducted into the lodge room
proper, and found it neat and clean,
with nothing on the floor and pic
lures on the wall.
Just in the rear of this room are
two other large rooms, 16x2O, both
carpeted and furnished in bOudOir
style, with bath aud toilet rooms
attached, and we were told that
one was for the use of the ladies on
gala occasions and the other one
was to be fitted up with a billiard
table, making the large room one
of the most complete and cOzy
rooms in the state of Arkansas.
Mr.. Brewer tells us they have
nearly one hundred members, and
each member has a key to the door
and can come in and go out just as
often as he pleases. He said fur
ther, ahem! eve are planning to
give our wives and daughters and a
few of our friends a banquet the
latter part of this month or the
first of next month, in order to let
them see nice lodge rooms, and also
to get an insight into our work, and
then when we return late at night
and tell them we have Only been
down to the club, they will dismiss
their fears as to believing the club
was nothing more nor less than the
back room Of some store.

We may be inclined to laugh at

Should we escape war with Spain,
the money power will be well backed
up by the government to perpetu-
ate the trusts aud monopolies of
the country, since the army is in
better shape for war now, either
external or internal, than it has ev-
er been. This country is in more
real danger from war among its
own people than any foreign foe.
When the masses find that they can
no longer rely upon the ballot box
as the means of securing to them
their rights as American citizens,
revolution is certain. This is all
very plain to the money power, and
the improved condition of the army
will give it more assurance and
boldness than ever in its dealings

CITIZENS MEETING.
II Proved 10 be a Failure in Every
Essential

A few days ago a few of oirrural
democrats and friends gathered
together and agreed tn met 1T
Roberts on Friday, for the purpose
Of discussing the candidates now
before the rcopIe and 10 solidify If
possible on those they might choose
a, the hes, men for the Dfic' to
vote for
There were several ueighborhoods
represented ana the meeting was
equally deyided between the popu-
lists and democrats with few re-
publicans on the side. The meet
ing was called to order by Mr.
Ramsey who stated that the first
thing to do was to elect chairman,
Many names were called and sug-
gested for the place but not one OF
them would serve. The meeting
was then dismissed as a failure,
Soon after this the middle Of the
readers got togeather and called
the house to order. There were
some ten or a dozen of them, and
elected a chairman and proceeded
to business.
1t was resolved to put out a
county ticket and the l4th Of May
was chosen to have the township
conventions and the 2lst of May
the county convention.
We learn that Anthony Robert
son was present and told the mid
die of the roadster" that he nc
longer troted in their class, as they
had sold out the party once and he
did not propose to be disposed of ii
any such manner again. We haC
hoped that these erring brothers
would come home to vote with the
democrats, but it seems that they
are determined to lay out in the
cold for another two years.

No February apportionment of
the public school fund was made
this year because there was only
$4,000 for distribution, making less
than 2 cents per capita for the
scholastic population. It will there
fore be deferred until the regular
August apportionment, when the
amount, augmented by the pay
ment of interest on the school debt,
will be about 80 cents per capita.
The February apportionment has
always been small, and considerable
expense will be saved the state by
the present course.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is caused by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition OF
the mucous Inning OF the eustaChian
tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbliug sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inAamed condition
of the mucous surfaces,

Massachusetts, Benefit Life

The receivers of the Massachusetts Bene-
fit Life association have asked the supreme
court for authority to pay a dividend of
90 cents on the dollar on 1863 claims. When
the association filed its report with the in
surance department on January l, 1897, it
had 46,399 policy holders, insured for $685.
$4,000, but the receivers have sfted out
all except the number stated. The receivers
believe that another dividend OF 90 per cent
can be paid, but as to more than that the
prospect is uncertain.
All of the allowed claims are on the lives
of policy holders residing in the United
States or Spanish America. The Canadian
claims are provided for out OF funds which
were deposited with the Canadian govern
ment and which that government declined
to relinquish. In addition to the above
claims, the receivers state in their report
to the court that they have examined and
passed upon all claims which have been pre-
sented to them, and have allowed to be
paidi out of the emergency fund Dos death
claims, amounting to 1924 ,Sl2.l5. They have
also allowed sixty-five disability claims,
which amount to $59,9l2l5. OF the whole
number of policy holders who had member
ship in the association at the time of its
failure, more than $4,000 were resident il
New England.
