]. M. PAY DAY PUT Of '
Not Known When Money Wagon Will Roll In. Payments Were to Have
 Been Made Today

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 19.- For the first time known to local railroad men the Iron Mountain pay day has been postponed in- definitely. Inasmuch as about $175,000 is paid out each month to Little Rock and Argenta employees of the road, the post ponement of payday cannot but be heavily felt here.
 The regular monthly bulletin announcing payday for the 18th inst, was posted several days ago, but yesterday it was taken down and a substitute bulletin posted making known the fact that the pay car will will arrive at date to be named later.
 Shopmen and terminal em- ployes are taken completely aback by the announcement, and are at loss to account for the action. Even the 18th was a day later than usual, but the news that payday will fall on an in definite date came as great sur. prise. The general feeling, how ever, is not one of alarm among the men. It is said that the em- ployes at Sedalia and Popular Bluff, Mo-, are as much in the dark as local men.
 One rumor had it that the pay car will not reach here until March f. An Iron Mountain official said last night that he could not explain the delay, as nothing further than the fact of postponement had been sent out by the management at St. Louis.

MT. Griffin's have not reached here, in their specific form, how ever, and the mere fact that he denied the charges of Senator Davis constitutes the sum total of the information on this matter.
 The opposition newspapers admit that Senator Davis appear ed to be perfectly delighted with the speech at Ozark, and that he is confident of electing Mr. Kirby governor. 1aia3 Nr
 On the other hand, many friends of MT. Donaghey, who were present at the speaking declare that Senator Davis is pestered, materially, and that he fears that he has not the ability to aid Kirby sufficiently to win.

VIII Move In New Hall.
Special to the News.

Little Rock, Feb. 19. There is every reason to believe at this time that the city government of Little Rock will be housed in the new city hall after the coming month.

"As You Like It."

The comedy in which May Stewart and her excellent com pany will appear at the Opera House Wednesday night, Feb, 18th. has served to show that popular young actress in what IS probably a stronger spotlight than anything in which she has yet appeared, not even except ing her marked success as Julia and Juliete.
 The Kansas City Star says: In Miss Stewards hands the role of "Rosalind" was portrayed with much spirit and feeling. As an actress Miss Stewart has fine dramatic instinct and m u c h power of expression, added to that a sweet sympathetic youth full voice which wins the heart of the listener immediately by it's clear silvery tones.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, Feb. 19.-The ex- treme bad weather for some time past is affecting the new state house in a manner which is now beginning to be the chief topic of conversation in this city, aside from politics. The building, as is we'll known, is not yet com pleted, and in it's unfinished state it is subject to much damage by the elements. The very heavy rains of some days past has had this effect in some parts of the building, it is reported. In the supreme court library, for in stance, W there the overhead plaster ornamental work has been completed, it is said that the en- tire work will have to be done over, by reason of the bad weather's effect.
 The brick work, where ever it is unprotected, is also getting the worst of it, and much concern is felt on this account.

NEW RECORD FOR
FASTENING WAIST

Chicago, Nov. If there is a husband
In Chicago who can fasten a 24-button en-
broidered shirtwaist in less than two min
utes and seven seconds, he Is eligible to
enter a contest for the model husband
championship OF the city.
There are II husbands and IL admtring
wives who declare that 1t can't be done
in a second less than that time; that Is.
Of course, without tearing off the buttons
and damaging the delicate lace work.

upon whom the test was to be made. had
been borrowed from a nearby dressmaker.
She was composed of plaster, muslin and
wood. Each Of the IL contestants sprang
at the model with such haste that it was
feared that he might ruin his chances
by violating some OF the rules. such as
tearing away a button or damaging the
texture of the waist-both t~nexcusable in
the eyes of the watching wives.

ARTIST EARLE
BUILDING FORT
Stable on His New York Estate
Is to Resemble a
Stronghold.

Monroe, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Ferdinand
Pinney Earle. whose marital affairs
have brought so much prominence to
him, has begun work on a new building
on his place In Blooming Grove that
strongly resembles a fortress, the win
doWs n doors being heavily barred.
While the entire structure is built
strongly.
Earle intends to use the place as q
stable n insists that it has to be
strongly built to keep his horses and
even his ferocious Great Dane dogs
safe from thieves.
AS a further protection against rob-
bers he has posted large signs on his
land warning all that trespass thereon
that they do so under risk of being
shot or torn by vicious dogs.
While Earle is taking these means to
protect the property his more conser-
Native neighbors are considering the
formation of a law and order society
for the mutual protection Of their pos
sessions. Last winter IL of the homes
of summer residents were robbed. and
the horses and other stock OF others
Were stolen. In only one case was a
prosecution had. that being one in
which Henry Wellington Wack, a New.
York lawyer, insisted on Justice. He
was threatened with the firing of his
buildings if he persisted, so he bought
shotguns for his farm hands. Others
under like threats, withdrew their
charges rather than take chances with
possible firebugs. This fall there have
been numerous petty robberies, with
the result that the law and order idea.
formulated last fall by Mr.. Wack. is
again under consideration.
