At this meeting P c. Chestnut resign
ed as delegate to the session of the
grand lodge at Fayetteville next We'd
nesday, and 7. Pearce was elected as
his successor. Another important mat
ter was transacted at this meeting,
and one of far-rea ching Importance to
the Odd Fellows of Pine Bluff, was
the raising of the sick benefit from 81
to 81 per week. The sick benefit of
this lodge was formerly 81, hut some
time ago was reduced to 81. as the
lodge was in a bad way financially,
and needed the money. Now, howev-
er. that the lodge has been placed in a
better condition in every way, it was
thought best to raise to the sick ben
eft back to the former figure.
The grand lodge of the Odd Fellows
will convene at Fayetteville next We'd

city will send delegates to the great
gathering. Jefferson lodge will be

| A debate was held under the auspices
OF the New Century club at Simpsons

question, Resolved. that revolutionary
socialism is opposed to the theory Of
evolution" was discussed before a large

tive.
A spirited discussion of the question
was had, after which the judges, Rev.

they attempted to locate these men.
Numerous complaints came into the
sheriff's office. A rancher at West
Forty-sixth street and Normandy av-
enue awoke Friday morning to find
several dozen of his best fowls gone.
Other ranchers suffered as bad.
After a long search, the officers finally
located the fowls on a ranch just out
side the city limits. The rancher was
we'll known in the community and his
honesty was above reproach. He told
the officers that Hartnell and Lisalda
had brought the chickens and offered
them for sale. He had refused the
offers of Hartnell, but when Lisalda,
in his most heartrendlng Spanish,
raised up his voice and wept out a sad
story of his grandmother's death, ard
that the money was needed for funeral
expenses, he bought the fowls, paying
$1S.75 for the entire lot. 1t was after

rented a rig and gone to the same
ranch Friday morning and offered TO
sell the outfit for SIS. Failing in this
plan, they went to Santa Monica,
where they indulged in a great spree,

off when the officers arrested them.
It is said that both have confessed.

LEGISLATORS IN
WILD DISORDER
BY Associated Press.

| BY Associated Press.
LONDON, May 22.-The sitting of the
house of commons tonight was marked
by scenes of the widest disorder, grow
| ing out of a motion by Sir Henry
| mpbell-Bannerman to adjourn the
house in order that he might discuss
| the charge against Premier Balfour of
having violated his pledge not to deal
with the subject of colonial preference
without first appealing to the country
Alfred Lyttleton, secretary of state
for the colonies, was put up to reply to
the Liberal leader, but the members of
the opposition shouted down his every
attempt to speak, even after the
premier had demanded a hearing for
the secretary. Finally the speaker
after he had exhausted every effort to
quell the turbulence, put into force for
the first time new rule, empowering
him to adjourn the house in cases of
grave disorder.
The matter came up at the after
noon sitting, when Premier Balfour,
replying to questions on the subject,
said he did not consider himself
pledged to inaction in regard to colon
ial reference except so far as parlia
mentary action was concerned. He
reiterated that the government did not
intend to deal with the fiscal question
in the present parliament. The matter
of colonial preference might however,
be submitted to a colonial conference
in 1906, even though the country had
not previously had an opportunity of
expressing an opinion on the subject.
The decision of the conference, how
ever, would not be binding either on
the mother country or on the colonies
without legislative action.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, the
Liberal leader, charged Mr.. Balfour
with violating the pledge he had made
in his Edinburgh speech and moved
the adjournment of the house to dis
cuss the matter.
The debate on Sir Henry Campbell
Bannermans motion came up at the
night session and was marked by
Liberal leader demanded a plain an
swer from Premier Balfour and Alfred
Lyttleton, secretary of state for the
colonies, rose to reply.
The members of the opposition
drowned the efforts of the secretary
with cries of "Balfour, Balfour" After
continuing for about ten minutes Mr..
Lyttleton sat down. Winston Church
hill then attempted to speak, but the
ministerialists drowned his efforts, the
nationalists joining in the din and
shouting for the police. Except when
Sir Henry Campbell taunt-
ed him with being the sole cause of the
disorder and Mr.. Balfour flashed rather
ain angry reply, the premier was most
composed throughout the sitting.

NEW YORK, May 22-Requests for
hearings from ST. Louis fair exhibitors,
who are at present in controversy with
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
company over the coming award of
prizes, have been filed at the offices
of the national commission in this city,
but as the commission has less than

the commission will be able to do any
thing to give satisfaction for the COM
plainants.
The protesting exhibitors among
whom are some OF the most prominent

posed to the award of prizes on the
ground that exhibits were improperly

Colonel Jewell will leave for .Magda-

Southern Pacific and Sonora roads 1t
will be three or four days before he
reaches the town of Magdalena. The
missing man left California some four
months ago for Sonora, where he has
large mining interests. Colonel jewell s
first intimation that his brother had
disappeared was the receipt of the
following telegram from a postman at
Magdalena, datel May 10. Your

hard to account for. as he expected to
be gone only a few days. Do you

Immediately upon the receipt of this
telegram Col. Jewell wired Mr. Ridge

for his brother Today he received the
following telegram:
Police are looking him UP, but no
results. Seems doubtful whether he
will be found Would advise you to
come if only for a short time. Wire
me at Llano, Ridgeway."
A letter by w. p. Ross at Estion,
Sonora, has been received, asking in
formation concerning the whereabouts
of L. F. Jewell. He states that Mr.
Jewell had expected to be away only
three days. It is understood that he
went alone.
The Sonora region is where the Yaqui
Indians committed recent murders and
ii is a dangerous locality, Col. Jewell
fears that his brother may have fallen
a victim to one of their raids.
