Preserving History in Arkansas.
 The Alabama Department of Archives and History is in receipt of Vol. of the Publications of The Arkansas His torical Association. This volume em- braces the report of the Arkansas His tory Commission, created by an act or 'the Legislature of that State, dated April 27, 1905. It contains an exhaust- i've and elaborate review of the histori- cal resources of the State, together with several contributed articles on subjects of interest to it's history.
 sion followed the plan of the State of Alabama in creating a similar Commits sion some years ago. the report or which was published in 1901. The work of the Commission appears to be, well done. and as result of the publica- ton of the volume, a much larger body of historical material exists for the his- iariy believed. With the aid of the work. students can nov go forward to an intelligent and detailed study of the life of the State and its people.
 bamians. 1t is to be noted that the very first recommendation of the Commission is for the establishment of Depart ment of Archives and History, this State. Since the creation of the Department of Archives and History in Alabama in 1901, similar departments or offices have been organized in MS sissippi.. West Virginia. Georgia, VIZ ginia. South Carolina and Tennessee. In addition to the recommendation Of the Arkansas Commission, similar re- commentators have been made hv commissioners appointed to investigate archive and public record conditions in the States of North Carolina and Iowa. The value and importance of such de- partments are coming to be generally recognized.~e

 There are two complaints 1 wish to make about the Montgomery Theatre, and neither complaint reflects in any way upon the management, said pat ron of the playhouse yesterday after noon.
 One complaint is against the patrons of the theatre, or rather, against some of them; the other is against proprie- playhouse.
 AS to the patrons. have this to say; they should endeay0r to be more In the theatre, the first act of which is not marred by noise and confusion caused by the late arrival of persons tardy, as I believe. only because they wish to be, or perhaps because they in discreetly postpone preparation for their appearance at the play. The first act of Lillian Russelrs play was halr over before the patrons who had taken their seats at the proper time. were able to hear of see anything on the stage, and on a purely business basis merely, they did not get the worth of their money in addition to which their presence in the theatre was rendered a discomfort rather than the pleasure they had expected 1t to bs.
 The other complaint Is that part or the sidewalk on North Perry street. up- on which many of the patrons approach the theatre. is often partially blocked with barrels, boxes, and other obstacles that could be moved without much dif- k,-;,- m comfort to the ladies who use the side walk"

Mayor Teasue Has Record

While Mayor Teague was signing batch of baby bonds for sidewalk paw ing yesterdaE afternoon, 1t developed that Montgomery's present chief eXecu- tive has the record for signing bonds. The Mayor didn't tell about it. but some one happened in the office yesterday while he was affixing his signatures to the securities, and told an interesting narrative on the subject.
 T don't believe there is any doubt that MT. Teague broke all records when he signed ACT bonds in one hour and fifteen minutes. If you will figure it out, you will find 1t is an average of seven a minute. The instance, as l re- member it, was urgent and the Mayor was compelled to sign all of them as rapidly as possible. One man was kept busy sliding the bonds from in front of the Mayor as fast as he would write his name on them and by the time the job was completed you can imagine Mr' Teague's hand was slightly cramped.
 The bonds signed by the Mayor yes terday, were of $100 denomination each. and bearing six per cent interests per 'annum There were fifty three of them and they aggregated S5,3OO, put the Mayor was in no hurry and he took hls time

reside in Rock Island. Anderson is a
"calker" and Smith was helping him.
When the mains are laid and after the
ends are "calkcd' the gas is admitted tn
the new piece of pipe. An inflated rub
Der bag near the end of the pipe keeps
the gas from escaping. Thursday q
sack was placed on one of the pipes
for this purpose, but small eScapage
of gas was noticeable. Anderson and
Smith were working over the pipe, and
another man a short distance away was
using a pick in the ditch The man
using the pick was working in the
lrock strata encountered some days ago
and blow caused a small spark to fly
This came in contact with the gas
fumes and Immediately communicated
to the mains. Instantaneously and with
out warning huge flame eight inches
in diameter shot into the air dis.
ItanCe of almost fifteen feet Anderson
and Smith made a lively scramble 70

brows and hair slightly singed, and
they were badly frightened. The 9th
