If he is perfectly willing to do
anything she may ask, no matter
what sort of an idiot it makes him
appear.
II he is able to tell without refer
ence to notes what dress she wore the
last week, and also to describe the
color and design of her hat.
If he'll wear anything in the line Of
haherdashery which she may see fit
to buy or make for him with her own
hands.
If be is willing to remain up until

her home from a dance his case is
hopeless. Although, of course, he
may be a night watchman by pro-
fession or a victim of insomnia
If he stands around at balls and

every movement with sort of dog
like expression, he is either III love or

Made With Salt Water.

1t has been accepted as fact that
salt water is death to the rice plant,
but w. +. Perkins, who owns 9 large
rice farm on Black bayou, which has
during this season been invaded by
sea water, says that if it is a fact, it
is not fixed fact. He says that
when he found that he could get
nothing but salt water for his rice,
he began to pump it on his fields, but
did not allow it to stand on any field
but few hours at a time, drawing
it from one field to another. Mr..
Perkins states that his rice is heading
out with full, flinty grain, and bis
crop will be made from salt water

Pa Had His Say.

A young woman who prevailed on
her parents to send her to one OF the
fashionable seminaries underwent
social evolution inside of year that
made the old folks wonder just where
they were at. Her letters grew less
affeetionate and more affected with
the passing of the months, she map
ped out and carried into effect an
itinerary for her vacation OF last sum
mer that gave her exactly seven
nights at home in more than thirteen
weeks; her clothes for the period
cost her father nearly $500 and her
mother found herself principally en-
gagged in keeping track of the bloom
ing scholars gowns. When she re-
turned to the seminary in September
there was no Improvement from the
parents viewpoint. She graduated,
however, with some honors, and
bounced home few weeks ago to in
form her father that she now was
ready to undertake special course
in psychology, sociology, bib
The old man stopped her right
there, and said:
"Now, see here, girl, we've put up
with this sort of thing nigh onto two
years, and we've had enough. I've
no doubt you've done yourself proud
after a fashion; but mother and me
has concluded that you'll stop at
home, let her have bit Of rest, and
that you'll take up roastology. boil
ology, stitchology, darnology, wash
ology and general domesticoIogy-
and you'd best begin tomorrow, girl,
by gettin' breakfast ready for dad"

SHOTS into STREET

Bill Spicer, a stone mason In the enc-
ploy OF the Lucas Bros, was arrested
shortly after 10 o'clock last night by
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth and he Is
now at the police station awaiting In
yestigation by the police authorities.
An attempt has been made to bail tho
man out but the police have not yet
given their consent to this.
II was at about 10 o'clock last nigh;
that Splcer went into the Club Sta
bles and without asking permission,
went to the telephone and rang up the
police station asking the clerk to send
an officer to the place at once. When
asked what the trouble was, Spiccr
answered. THAT Is none of your
Id business" The telephone was
hung up by the police station clerk
and later on when Deputy Sheriff
ChillIngworth appeared, he was made
acquainted with the facts, He imme-
| diately went up 20 the Club StableS
| and found that SpiCer had left. Ho

Of the Star block aud fire five times

found Spicer in the room. The fellow
had no time to show fight for the arms

very quickly. He was most insolent
and refused to give any information
whatever Asked about the firing oil
the shots into the street, he replied
that he was shooting at a cat that lad

give his name but later on II was OBJ
! tanned.

, SpiCer and Rcckman had had trouble
} m the OTphoum saloon early in the
evening and that the former, flourish
ing a revolver, had threatened TO shoot
, WecNman. Kerry was in the saloon al

CUMMINGS TRICKS
We'll WORTH SEEING

Cunning, the magician. proved him
self to be an artist of the highest order
in q performance at the Hawaiian
Opera House last night and his audi
ence was very liberal and enthus.as-
tic in its applause.
Cummings own great digital and
palming was augmented by the mar
velous performance of Warren, the
young Mormon Wizard, and the mental
telepathy of Madam Alone.
The entertainment was opened by a
production of four solid billiard balls
In a mysterious manner by Cunning,
and was followed by coin and cord
manipulation of the highest order.
The audience was much amused when
the magician took from w. w. Hall 5
hat, suit of dolls undergarments,
several fruit cans and a quantity OF
paper, etc. On returning the hat to
Mr.. Hall large rabbit was found
within II.
One of the greatest tricks performed
was when lady assistant, seated on 4
swing and raised about six feet from
the stage disappeared when Cunning
fired at her with a revolver and almost
Immediately reappeared In trunk
near the front of the stage.
In the spiritual seance, Warren was
placed in curtained cabinet and 9
committee consisting OF Frank Davey
and Otto Berndt enclosed a rope In q
bag and secured the opening with
string and sealing wax, so that they
would recognize the knot again. Gun
ming tossed this within the cabine
and 1t was instantly thrown bacl
empty, the committee identifying 1t a
the same bag and the knot being In
tact. On drawing back the curtain
Warren was found bound securely Il
the chair, and while so bound gave
most interesting and unusual enter
tainment, concluding 1t by freeinl
himself in an increduously short tim
from the two pairs of handouts be
longing to local police officers, VIII
fastened them on.
Tonight Cunning will perform a
the Orpheum. His performance Is de
serving Of most liberal patronage.

CONTEST PROMISED
On Several Provisions of Bill
When it Goes to Conference,
But Dawes Commission
Will be Principal
Bone of Conten-
tion.

Several of the provisions of the
Indian Appropriation bill as
amended by the senate, will be
vigorously opposed by the repre-
sentatives of the house in the con-
ference committee.
The bill will go to conference
as soon as the Cuban reciprocity
bill is disposed of in the house.
Congressman Sherman. of New
York, chairman of the house COM
mittee on Indian affairs, is a men,
ber OF the conference committee.
He is chairman of the committee
of the whole in the consideration
of the Cuban bill. and this pre-
vented a meeting of the conference
committee. The senators on the
conference committee are Stuart,
Platt and Jones. The house men,
bers are Sherman, Curtis, of Kan
sas, and Little. of Arkansas.
The first difference of import
ance will be over the Dawes COM
mission. The house bill reduced
the membership Of the committee
to three and limited its appropri.
alton to $4,000. The senate re.
stored the number of commission
ers to four and the appropriation
to s93, 900. The members OF the
house committee will oppose this
amendment. 1t was the sentiment
of the members that the commits
sion should be either abolished or
thoroughly reorganized. They
will oppose any plan that looks to
the retention of the body in it's
present form. They would prefer
that the commission be abolished
and that its affairs placed in the
hands of the Indian commissioner.
The house bill provided that
until allotments are made the
holdings OF land by the five civil
lied tribes shall be as follows:
Chickasaws and Choc:aws, 800
acres each; Creeks, 100 acres, and
Cherokees, 100 acres. The senate
has amended the bill to allow the
Creeks 160 acres each and the
CherOkees eighty each, cutting
out all provision for allotment TO
the Chociaws and Chickasaws. The
object of the house bill providing
for temporary allotments was TO
prevent the excess holdings in the
Chickasaw and Choctaw nations.
The house members will not con-
sent TO the elimination Of this fea-
ture OF the measure.
The senate bill provides that
lands allotted to white men who
have no Indian blood may be sold
by them without the restrictions
and limitations placed upon the
allotments of the Indians. This
provision will also be opposed by
the house committee.
