Frozen Butterflies.

1t is common experience among
mountaineer climbers to find butter
flies lying frozen on the snow and so
brittle that they break unless they
are very carefully handled. Such
frozen butterflies, on being taken to

The trouble with most cough cures

The trouble with most cough cures
is that they constipate. Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup does not con-
stipate, but on the other hand its
laxative principles gently move the

is especially recommended for chill

Back to the junk heap go 1900 of the old Krag Jorgenson rifles with which the Arkansas Militia was eqbipped until the advent of the new Springfield, which were distributed among the members of the state guard last spring. There should be 1861 of these old death dealers, but those which are represented in the discrep- ency are those which were lost in a fire in the warehouse where the guns were stored. The guns are today being shipped to Rock Island, Ills., where they will be returned to the government.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE

Last night at the opera house was played 'The Savage King to an appreciative audience. The king himself, though in ac- tual position a peon of Mexico of the time of Maximillian, and a slave of the aristocratic family of De Gro, was represented as a descendant of the Montezumas and played a noble part in the story. A complication of love plots developed, accompanied with fights, murders and hair breadth escapes in which figured the Countess De Gro, her daugh- ter, a couple of rival suitors for the daughters and, one of whom was afterwards exposed and arrested as the bandit chief, Fl Capitan: also a priest and a foxy young American reporter who came out on top as Ameri- cans always do. The play was we'll acted in spite of the misfor- tune of their manager having recently died and his wife, who was the leading lady in the play, being absent, her part had to be acted by another.

At the first the use of books, the borrowing of books, was confined to shareholders, but in order to allow visitors in the place to use the books, the privilege of doing this without becoming a member was sold for one dollar for six months.
 At this first meeting the stock com- pany organized with twenty-one mem- bers. Simeon Mitchell was elected the first President, and D. N. Garfield, Treasurer.

 of the organization was said to be as
 follows: "To secure the benefits of
 elevated, rational enjoyment and of
 substantial improvement which books can give." That was worthy though
 also somewhat wordy statement. The
 form of organization proposed and ac- cepted was that of a stock company.
 Shares of stock were to be issued at three dollars each. only one share to be sold to any one person, each sharehold- CT to be voting member of the asso- citation, and to have the use of its privi- leges. Later, in 1875, the shares were raised to four dollars each, and all or iginal shareholders were assessed an extra dollar, so putting all members on a par as holding shares at four dollars, instead of three dollars each. The association could also lay yearly tax
