Guardian of Cedar oirole Surprised.

Last evening being the birthday eve Ct
Guardian Neighbor Ollie Stephens, the
members of Cedar Circle decided to re-
member her for her past faithfulness
and for the esteem in which she is held
by Cedar Circle, who teach the doctrine
of the brotherhood of man and the
sisterhood of woman. The hall was
decorated with fir trees to appear as
forest, and after lodge closed the Guard
ian was informed that luncheon would
be spread in honor of her birthday. The
table was laid and delicate repast with
chocolate was prepared. The Guardian
was led to her seat of honor, with ex-
Clerk Rintoul and Clerk Wrenn on
either side, and across from the Guard
ian were the Banker and Advisor and
other officers and memb bers of the Cir
Gle were on all sides. Mirth and wit
flowed merrily, and when all had fin
ished, the Advisor, called the attention
of the Guardian to the fact that the
| luncheon was not the only remembrance
of her birthday, but that something
more substantial was in store for her,
and in the name of Cedar Circle pre-
sented her with pretty silver berry
spoon as token of the esteem in which
she is held by the Circle.
The evening was pleasantly spent and
all voted it'better to give than receive
and began wishing their birthdays were
near. There will be installation next
week and balloting on candidates. F.

to the dining room, which was not only
inviting, but beautiful in its decorations.
From the chandeliers, lit by purple
lights, bunting was festooned to the cor
ners Of the room, while the table was
dainty spread, and from bouquet in
the center, purple ribbons extended,
smilax also being much in evidence. Nor
were the more eubstantials neglected,
the most elaborate of lunches tempting
the guests, and causing them to vote it
the best of the season. As the bell
struck eleven the party rose and sang
| Auld Lang Syne,'' J. s. Fish as chorister.
During the entire evening. with the
exception of short intervals, the sweet
est of music was played by Messrs.
Ryan and Alden, which added greatly to
the completeness of the pleasure. The
hours after lunch were passed in music
and dancing. Led by Mrs. Moody the
guests joined in singing thelatest catchy
airs, after which Mrs. Huntington sang

NEW CHARTER ACCEPTED.
City Levies Five Mills Regular Tax-One
Mill and Half Special.

The special meeting of the council
which was called for last night, met at
the recorders Office at 80 o'clock, pre-
sided over by Mayor Nolan, with Coun-
cilmen Kuck, Clough, JOINS. Cunning,
Stephens, Butts, Michelbach and Keller
present.
Mayor Nolan stated that the object of
the meeting was for the levying of city
tax for the year 1898, and also to con-
slider the proposed new charter.
Kuck moved that the city levy tax
of five mills as general fund and mill
and a half as special tax for the pur-
pose of paying the interest and redemp-
ton of the city bonds when they become
redeemable. Stephens seconded the
motion. which was carried. This is the
first time the council has taken advant-
age of the opportunity to levy the special
tax in years, but now deem it necessary
The mayor then pointed out to the
council the principal points of the pro-
posed change in the charter. The Great
ing of a sinking fund was first mentioned.
Another important matter is the giving
of the council and city officers additional
power to compel property owners to re-
pair sewers, sidewalks, streets, etc. II
would be we'll had that body more au-
thority over such matters at present, or
were the property owners to take small
pride in the appearance of their property
themselves. The new charter also grants
tho TO
GUS, vinous and malt liquors are sold anC
not drank on the premises, the license
not to be less than $50 a year. The
present charter prescribes the duties o.
the superintendent of water works
while the new gives the water commits
sioners the right to determine what they
shall be, increasing the duties of the re-
corder by making him clerk of the com
mission.
The city will be given the right to al
proprIate the right-of-way over priva6
property for the. purpose of layinI
sewers. According to the old the city
was allowed to bond itself to the amour
of SIS 900 for the construction of bridg,
across the Columbia, the new increase
the amount to $50 1000. Another matte
it regulates is the appointment o
marshal and recorder, requiring rol
call in the council in confirming thes
two officers.
Mr.. Colt. the surveyor. being presen
informed the council that the descrip
ton of the city's boundary lines as is Sc
forth in the proposed charter, is in som
respects indefinite, and suggeste
changes in the same, which will not ma
terially alter them, but make them NOR
definite. Motion of Johns, seconded b
Cunning that committee on new char
ter be instructed to conform with sug
l,gestions. The motion carried.
Moved and carried that the charter b
accepted and sent to the legislature no
later than Wednesday. The meetin
then adjourned.

PROHIBIT DEER-KILLINd.

Senator J. Monroe Smith. of Union county, has introduced in the senate bill which is of par. ticular importance to the sports men of this state as well as of ad- Jacent states, as he seeks to re. enact the recently expired law pro- hibiting tho killing of deer and other game for a period of five years. There Is no doubt, says the Arkansas Democrat, the bill will pass both branches and become a law.
 Under the present game laws of this state the time in which it is lawful to kill deer, wild turkeys and prairie chickens expired at ,midnigh ht Tuesday. January 3l, but in case of violation tho maximum line was only S20. In 1893 the legislature passed a five-year pro- hlbitory law which expired on March A, last. At midnight of that date parties from all over this state and from other states began the slaughter, having gonc to the prairie several days before Tn or der to secure the best possible hunting grounds. The result is that now there are hardly any deer or prairie chickens left on the pralries or in any portion of the state. This bill whom it becomes a law will stop the slaughter and give such game a chance to breed and again populate the state.
 The bill as introduced by Senator Smith seeks to amend Section 3431 of the digest, so it will read as follows:
 SECTION l. It shall be unlawful to catch, kill or injure. or pursue with intent to catch, kill or injure, or pursue or chase with dogs with out such intent any wild buck, deer, doe, fawn, wild turkey, pin hated grouse, commonly called prairie chickens, in this state, for @ period of five years from and after the passage of this act 1; provided, the citizens of the state shall have the right to kill any wild or undomesticated animal up. on his premises destroying, or in the act of destroying, the crop of any such citizen, at any season of the year.
 SEC. 2. Any person violating any of the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misde- meanor, and upon conviction there of shall be fined in any sum not less than S25 nor more than $50 ; and any lnformer who shall report any of such offenses and prosecute to conviction shall be entitled to and be paid one-half of said fine. Section l of this bill should be amended by striking out the pro, viso. Many people take advantage of it and kill game in all seasons, claiming the right to do so under the proviso. Also, the arrests should be in the Lame and at the cost of the state. But better than all, game warden should be ap- pointed for each county, with full SAuni.s nH n ch a 1i H

A New Political Factor.

Recently a story was published concerning the experiment of a Mississippi planter with monkeys as cotton-plckers. 1t was said that the experiment. was successful and that the planter had bought more monkeys.
 A party of cotton planters and plantation managers were discuss ing the matter. They were skep- tical about the story, but all wished that the problem of cheap cotton picking could be solved.
 There ain't any use gettin' them monkeys an trainin' lem, " sad an unreconstructed and pessi- mistic old plantation manager, " fer as soon as we git 'em trained the d-d yankees will come down here an free lem, an fore long they'll be votin', jess like niggers. " Memphis Scimitar.
