here in advance of the assembling
of congress to consider the situation.
Messrs. Cannon, Tawney and Payne
have conferred on the subject. Mr..
Tawney has talked the matter over
with President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Cortelyou. He has requested
Cortelyou to prepare some data indi-
eating the revenues derived from arti-
cles subjected to the war revenue tax
and to indicate others that may even
tually be placed in the list.
1t has become evident to the leaders
that revision of the tariff will not
materially increase the revenues.
While lower duties may bring larger
imports in some instances, in others
there will be a falling off of importa-
lions, and thus the books will about
balance.

 The house was beautifully de- corated with Southern SmilaX and white-the white bow badge of the w. c. T. U. being given it's rightful place of honor.
 Time passed pleasantly to those present as they listened to the graphaphone or the stirring songs of prohibition and engag- ed in pleasant conversation. In the evening a heart to heart talk on the work before the temper. ance people of Arkansas was en- gagged in.
 Those present both in the af- ternoon and evening forgot the mists and dreariness without in enjoying the good cheer within. Quite often were they refreshed with delightful fruice and cake so graciously served in the after noon by Miss Hinton and in the evening by Miss Waller.
 Delightful home made candy was also frequently passed by the kind hostess.
 Each one carried home a copy of the new anti cigarette law and a card bearing some temper ance sentiment or item and the bow of white ribbon.

Hope Rocks as New Year Comes

Hope, Jan. 1.-Unknown cele- brants of the advent of the ne W year caused an explosion which was plainly felt throughout Hope few minutes after midnight and which resulted in damage approximating S100. Charges of dynamite were buried 12 inches in the ground and when fired wrecked the plate glass front of the Catlan building on Elm Street, inflicting S25 dam age, and partially destroyed the front of the Thornburg building which will cost $50 to repair. A hole was blown in the brick walls of the Lee Foster cotton office on Walnut Street
 The shock of the explosion penetrated to every part of town and it was feared by some that an earthquake had visited this section.
 The police are Investigating.

Daniel Boone

Something out of the ordinary is promised our theatre goers when the Daniel Boone on the Trail" company visits our city at the opera house next Saturday. Ne, rly everyone is familiar with the history of the famous pioneer and know of his many exciting experiences, all of which are presented in a realistic manner by this company. To properly present this play, real wolves, bears and Indians are carried by the company which will be seen on the streets the day of the show. The company numbers over 20 people, all artists, and there will also be several clever specialties. One of the most ex citing climaXes of the bill is when Daniel Boone has fight with the ferOciOuS wolves in order to save his daughter who is thrown into their den by the Indians: this feature alone is worth more than the small admission price.
