The intimation of the magazine that

TO BE ENTERTAINED
Senator lIai Norhoed HiIl Wrieome Gnc>t>-t'reat lneo Bird Expected -S. Y. Brachnry of Fort Smith Great SacIIcm.

4 Pine Blulfian, Doctor 4. q.
 Thompson, will preside and many lo- cal Red Men will take part in the sey- enth annual Great Council of Red Men of Arkansas will convene at Me- na Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The delegates and members of the great council will arrive there this after noon and tonight, and on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock a drive will be taken over the city for an hour show ing the guests tue beautiful homes. improvements and what a town of ten years of age can do where all are working for the betterment of condi- tions. At 10 o'clock an address of welcome will be delivered by Mayor Mark P. Olney, who is also a past sachem of the order and great chief of records, and this will be respond ed to by some member of the great council to be selected later.
 The sessions of Tuesday and Wed- nesday will be secret and will cover the workings of the order for the past year and arrangements for the fu- ture. The membership is little over fifteen hundred, from forty tribes throughout the state Tuesday night "a home talent entertainment will be given at the Davis opera house, to which the public in general is invited.
 Senator Hal l.. NorWood, president of the Commercial club, will welcome the guests at this session, and the re- sponse will be by Col. James Brig Zolara of Fort Smith, who is the rep resentative from that tribe A number of musical numbers will be rendered and some stump speaking by local members. An address will also be expected should Great Inco Bird be present, though he is not expected un- til the second day of the session.
 The working team from Sequoyah Tribe No. 1 of Fort Smith, the oldest tribe in the state, will be present We'd nesday, and On that night will exem- plify the secret work. This will be followed by a buck smoker, presided over by Dr. A. G. Thompson of Pine Bluff, and all who have attended any of his gatherings know that success is already assured when it is known he will preside. The delegates will prOb- ably leave on the night trains of We'd nesday. The meeting place for the next great council has not been de- cided, and will not be until the ses- sion is on, though Eureka Springs is desirous of entertaining them next year, and probably other cities will also make invitations.
 s. F. Brackney of Fort Smith is great sachem and undoubtedly the neW great sachem will be M D. Williams of Lockesburg, as he is at present great senior sagamore. Mark P. Ol~ ney is great chief of records and has held this office since the organization of the great council at Pine Bluff, six years ago. E H. Donaldson is great kepper of Wampum, and will doubtless be reelected, thus rounding out his term of five years, and giving him the honors of past great sachem.

NO SALES 0N
 THE SABBATH Mayor Toney Orders Cloth ing, Dry Goods and Gen eral Merchandise Stores Closed on Sunday.
WILL BE LIBERAL
Chief of Police Ordered Several Es. tabiishnients to Close Yesterday No Violations Will Be Tolerated Statement by Mayor.

Mayor W L. Toney issued a blue law edict yesterday to proprietors of gents furnishing, dry goods and the various general merchandise establishments, warning them against a violation of the Sunday law by keeping their places open on Sunday or selling or delivering anything from their stores
 Mayor Toney instructed Chief Stewart to serve notice on all the firms who have been doing a little business on the Sabbath day ana when the chief went around yester- day he found customers being wait ed on in several downtown stores and immediately ordered the pro- prietors to complete their deals and close their doors In future ar rests will be made if the Sabbath day is broken in this manner.
 Mayor Toney. in an interview rel- ative to the matter, said: 'I do not want to appear as being un reasonable, but I believe that the general merchandise houses should keep closed on the Sabbath As far as I am personally concerned, l do not object to accommodating cus- toner occasionally, but the senti ment is so strong against Sunday sales that I am compelled to do my duty
 'T am going to be liberal-minded and not act what I deem unwise. The drug stores, butcher shops, bakeries, soda fountains and other establishments which handle the necessaries of life, may remain open. but there is no necessity of gents furnishing and dry goods or general merchandise stores being opened on Sunday. That is un- reasonable.
 You know what it would lead to. Why some people are so un- reasonable. as to want to stop the street cars on the Sabbath day. That is going too far.
 ''It is said that persons who are compelled to enter their stores on Sunday for private work will be arrested and fined
 That will not be dOne, said the mayor. eff a bookkeeper or indi- vdual desires to go into his store and do some work, see no reason why he should not be permitted to do so provided he does not admit customers and make sales. I am going to be as reasonable as I can and look at this matter in broad way. I will not tolerate open violations of the law, how ever.
 "Yesterday morning I permitted a local milliner to deliver four hats, which were not finished in time for Saturday night deliveries. but in future everything must be delivered before 12 o'clock Satur- day night
