DELEGATION LEAVES LITTLE ROCK FOR WASHING
 TON, D. c.
FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Important Arkansas River Towns Represented By Dele-
 gations.

A strong delegation left Little Rock at 8:25 last night for Wash ington, D. O., to appear before the congressional river and harbor com mittee tomorrow in the interest of an increased appropriation for the impro 4ement of the Arkansas river. included in the delegation are Judge W. c. Radcliffe, Col. J. N. Smithee and J. L. Fletcher of Little Rock, George Sengel Of Fort Smith, Thos. Cox and Joseph Evans of Darda- nelle. J. B. Martin of Conway, May or D. c. Bell and Capt. s. Geisreiter of Pine Bluff.
 All these gentlemen are fortified with facts and figures touching the feasibility of perfeeting the nayiga- bility of the Arkansas river. and showing the immense farming and mercantile interests which would be benefited by the improvement.
 The Arkansas delegation will not be at all modest in their estimates of what it will cost to put the river in naylgable state all the year round. It is thought that at least $7, 900, 900 will be required for that purpose and the delegation will be able to show to what splendid pur- pose the money can be put in the in terest of the great waterways of commerce.
 Delegates from Kansas will be in Washington to co operate with the Arkalsas delegation and urge an appropriation Of sufficient size to accomplish tangible results. If en- ergy and determination can win, the delegation will make itself felt at the national capital. Gazette.

A BUTTERFLY aFETE.

The rehearsals for the grand spec tacuiar Butterfly Fete gre well un- der way and the rehearsal hall pre- sents busy scene as the 160 par ticipants gather there each after noon for rehearsals.
 Mrs. H. Mccall Travis, who has the affair in charge, is member of the National Association of Dancing Teachers and the only teacher ever Tn the State of Arkansas recognized by this Eastern association, hence the children will receive at these rehearsals the best of training in dancing and physical training,
 Mrs. Travis has given this elaboi- ate entertainment in all the large cities of the country and with phe- nomenal success.
 The Augusta, Ga, Chronicle has this to say:
 No Augusta audience has ever been more brilliant than that which crowded the Grand from pit to dome last night to witness the Butterfly Fete.
 This fete was an amateur produc. tion only in this; that all the partic- ipants were chosen from our hosts of pretty girls and children. For the rest the dancers are entire'y professional in the perfection of their parts and in their uniformity. The program was so skillfully di- rected by Mrs. Travis that it was entirely lacking in those dreary periods of delay which mar the aver age amateur event.
 The opera house was crowded last night because of the popularity of the Hussars and of the society girls who took part. Tonight it will be crowded because of the un mistakable merits of a performance which has not been equailed in Augusta for many years by either amateurs or professionals. ,

ARRESTED HERE
The "My Friend From India' P GO
 pie Arrested Tuesday Night.

 Manager Senyard vas telephoned for and arrived very quickly. The cause of the trouble was that the company had failed to take out the necessary State license, which the manager intended doing upon his arrival here, but up to the time of the arrest had been unable to find the United States officer stationed here.
 A bond was made for the com panYs appearance before thu United States court at Little Rock and the company departed for Ho' Springs where they play tonight.

 Batterton's Office.

Tuesday afterl oon small coal oil office lamp turned over and ex- ploded in the office of Yardmaote J. P. Batterton at the shops, and for while it looked as if disas- trous confagratlon would be the re- suit.
 The clerks and other employees ot the office ran about all looking for something or other to smother the fire and finally one had presence of mind enough during the excitement to securea bucket of water and ex- tinguish the flames. A table was badly damaged and few unimport- ant papers consumed.

Yet, to speak of it correctly, the audience that was seated in the opera house last eeening was fail sized one, and were very much pleased with the performance. The play is full Of Imaginable comolica- tions and the schemes instituted to get out of them after one was so un- fortunate as to get tangled in them, kept those present in an up- roar of laughter throughout. To say the least of the performance, it was very creditable one and each actor or actress played we'll their parts.

Miss Jean Ingelow possessed a spe- eial waxen favorite that she named Amelia. Amelia went everywhere Jean did, and she was introduced to all the agreeable people who came to the Ingelow house, her dresses were al- ways made from piece of whatever cloth Jean wore, and when games or merry times were enjoyed in the nur- sery Amelia was placed wherever she could take in the fun with the rest of the young folks. An ill-advised bath on hot day was so hopelessly de- structive to Amelia's painted beauty and sawdust constitution that the h. gelow family pronounced her quite dead. Her funeral was well attended, and for many months Jean serrowed for Amelia and refused ever to take another doll to her heart.
 Not only her own big doll family, but sa dolls, in a., shabby, large or small. black or white, which came An nie Thackeray's way shared the tender affection of her oyerfowing heart. When very little girl she believed dolls were quite as much alive as real babies, and if they lost heads or arms the missing members would grow again.
 Florence Nightingale's dolls all en- ioyed very indifferent health. Time and again disease stalked through the nursery and laid the dolls so low that their lives were quite despaired of, but the little girl, who was to grow up to be Q ministering angel to thousands in real suffering, always pulled her babies through their worst attacks When, at II years of age, George Sand heard some one laugh at the idea 5of so big girl still playing with dolls, Hike Jane Welsh, she concluded to give them up. With tears and hearty hugs she bade every one of them adieu and locked them in a garret closet.

In the Mexican Household.

In the Mexican Household.
 The arrangement of furniture is much more formal than in the United States. It Is q very common sight to see q splendidly furnished parlor with q row of straight backed chairs all alike with their backs against the wall and as close together as they can be placed clear around the room.
 Heavy single doors, such as are used in the United States, are practi> cally unknown in Mexican houses either at entrances or between in- terior rooms. All doors open ill the middle and are fastened with bolts top and bottom. Exterior doors are always fitted with glass panels, for they also serve as windows. All such doors opening on the street or open court are fitted with solid shutters that are folded at the sides out of | sight when not in use.
 A good Mexican cook relieves the | mistress of the house of worry and l responsibility in q manner that is all 1 most unknown ill the United States. The cook is given so much q day. and
 with this amount she will purchase each morning all the provisions for
 the day, including even the staples that are usually bought in large quan- tities in other countries. On dollar day a cook will provide very good
 table for a family of three or four, | and get enough beans and tortiilas | and chile to set the servants table be- sides. They can really do better than their mistresses, because they can us-
 ually drive sharper bargains with the
 marketmen of their own class, and
 they have more patience to haggle 1 nyer the last penny.

How England Took cibraltnr.

How England Took GibraItnr.
 Gibralter was taken by the English in 1704, during the war of the Spanish succession, a war which was provoked by the aggressive policy of France in endeayoring to place monarch of the French family apen the Spanish throne, and thus consolidate the two kingdoms into one. The fortress was then captured, almost by surprise, though the Spaniaras and French, ap- preciating the strategic value of the place. made desperate efforts to re- cover it, but were repulsed at every point. Between the. date of it's capture and 1779 repeated efforts were made by Spain to recover the fortress, and in that was ever brought to bear upon besieged place lay before Gibraltar. The siege lasted, als and on, for many months. The investing force comprised 12,000 troops of France, over twice as many of the best infantry of Spain, and the fleet consisted of forty-seyen ships, all three-daekers; ten great floating batteries, esteemed inyincibles, carrying PIP guns; innumerable frig- ates, bomb-ketehea, cutters, gun and mortar boats. For yeeks together over 6,000 shells day were thrown into tho town and repeated attempts were made to storm the works. but the little gar- rison of only 1000 men repelled every assault and finally succeeded In beat ing off the allied fact. The blockade began June 21, IT'D, and lasted until February, 1783, when the garrison was finally relieved by the arrival of British feet and army. Since that time the Notifications of Gibraltar have been so improved and increased that it is regarded as the strongest fortress in the world The British gov- ernment maintains there garrison of from 5000 to 10000 men, with pro- visions for six months, and it Is said the supply of military material is suf- ficient to enable the fortress to stand q siege of indefinite length.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Don't Know it.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so
deceptive. Many sudden deaths are
caused by it,-heart disease, pneu-
monia, heart failure or apoplexy are
often the result of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is allowed to advance
the kidney poison in the blood is liable
TO attack the vital organs, or the
kidneys themselves break down and
waste away cell by cell. Then the
richness of blOod-the albumen-leaks
out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney
trouble. Kidney trouble can be de-
tected although it be slow and decep-
tive. First, by analysis of the urine;
second, by the simple test Of setting
the urine aside in glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, when a cloudy or
brick dust settling indicates it.
1t was for just such troubles that in
His infinite power and goodness the
Great Physician caused Swamp Root
TO grow for the benefit Of suffering
mankind, leaving it for His servant,
DR.. Kilmer, the great kidney and
bladder specialist to discover it and
make it known to the world. Its
wonderful efficacy in promptly curing
the most distressing cases is truly
marvellous. You may have sample
