SEOULS QUEEREST.
The One Eyed Woman In the Grass
Green Cloak.

From my point OF view the principal and nj.
most the only charm that Seoul has for the new
conner lies in the novelty OF the costumes that ID

made by a population clothed wholly in white; to
the grotesqueIy absurd headgear OF the mOurners;
to the partly naked women, and to the effsrninate

OF these. and that Is the one eyed woman IN this

4 BILL was introduced in the

i BILL was introduced in the house Monday to appropriate 5000 to be expended Tn the care of a cemetery in Lonoke County. If we mistake not the legislature two years ago passed bill ap- propriating like amount for the same purpose, and so long as 1t continues to do so the same bill may be expected to put in its ap- pearance every session, only the amount asked for will probably gradually grow larger. The cemetery for which the state Is asked to appropriate money con- tains the remains of Confederate soldiers. and k about such as that at Fayetteville. only not so large The people of Fayette- vile and Washington County take no little pride in caring :or the cemetery by private eontri- buttons. considering II a sacred duty, and t is safe to say that any suggestion that they apply to to the legislature to appropriate money to assist them in this work would not meet with favor. Stones have not only been placed at each grave. but the grounds have been inelosed by stone fence and handsome monument erected. There arc also Coufed- crate cemeteries at Van Buren and Helena, kept up by private subscriptions. Are we to be- lieve the friends of the Confeder- ate dead Tn Lonoke County less patriotic than thesez If the leg islature Is to appropriate money to care for one Confederate ceme- tery 1t should make provision for all.

THE Fort Smith News Record makes the statement that the anti-fraternity bill now pending in the legislature Is d scheme on
 the part of Gov. Davis to oust President Hartzog of the Uni versity. The bill requires the president to expel the fraternities and see that they do not appear again, and for every day that he fails to do this he IS liable to fine of not less than S100 and from that up to $500. It k stated that Dr. Hartzog has his resigna- tion written out and will prompt ly present II to the board m the event the bill becomes a law, and no one will blame him. No self respecting person would hold the position under such conditions. If the legislature would let the board Of trustees and the faculty look after such matters as this fraternity question and not pay heed to every tale which reaches them through the medium of some disgruntled person the Un- versity would be far better off
