SHORT.CHANGE WORKED
 ON FAYETTEVILLE LAD.

Ivan Williams, who assists his father in the Frisco drug store, was tile victim of short change sharp last Wednesday. The man made q five cent purchase and rendered the lad Il ten dollar bill in payment. The boy made the correct change and handed 1t to the customer. The man then pretended to have found d one dollar bill. Young Williams got the five dollar bill and handed 1t to the mau, who put the one dol lar bill and the four dollars III silver and the five dollar bill to- eether and handed 1t to him for the original ten dollar bill The boy had become befuddled over making so much change and did not notice the discrepancy. All efforts to locate the nan have failed and lie probably left town immediately after the transaction. It k an old 'seonfidenee1 game that las been worked successfully not only on children but bt siness men. Fayetteville Daily.

Prohibition Camel, Democratic Don
key and Republican Elephant.
Chicago, Sept 2l The prohibition
camel has been entered In the nation
al race against the republican ele
plant and the democratic donkey In
n number OF states, the law requires
that each party have an Official en-
blem printed on the ballot. that no
voter may mistake his ticket.
Alonzo 70. Wilson. state chairman
OF the prohibition party. has announe-
ed that the prohibltionlsts have decld-
ed to adopt the camel az their mascot
replacing the emblems OF the fountain
and rising sun, which formerly have
indicated the prohibition column.
Among the reasons advanced BY
SIR. Wilson FOR the selection are that
the camel Is the original water wagon;
that Il can discern fresh supply 81
water further than any other quadru'
ped: that Il can travel faster than the
elephant or donkey. and that u Is an.
der no necessity OF getting a hgmp
on itself.

OF the member of parliament from

of Rev. Or. Charles f. Aksd, of the
Fifth avenue Baptist church. and mis-
wife.
II was through DR.. Aked that she
Grst became interested In public CUES,
tions in England. and for the last
three years, she nas given her time
entirely to the suffrage propaganda.
In Engand and Scotland she has made
reputation for eloquence. Mrs.
Snowden has made two effective
speeches in favor OF woman suffrage
In the house OF commons
Speaking OF her work. Mrs. Snow
den said:
1T is the fundamental question OF
the times. do not mean taat wo.
man suffrage will accomplish a great
deal at once, that the millennium will
arrive. Things will 90 on such as
they do at present, but | do think Il
win alter the relation of the sex and
all that means an improvement in
women and In the way in which their
duties are regarded BY men. Taere
Is so great difference between the
American and the English point OF
view In this regard that the latter can
hardly be understood here The idea
in England that the woman Is the
property Of the man dies hard and Il
Is shown every day that the absence
Of political power in women gives men
feeling OF contempt for them"

Electric Theatre A Big Success

The Electric theatre opened last Saturday night to a large and ap- preciative audience. The moving pictures were very good and the songs new and catchy. One of the features of the moving pictures was beautiful colored stage repro duction of Ali Baba and the forty thieves. The balance of the pie lures consisted of,comedy and were attractive. MT. Nat High. the comedian is the best cure for the worst case of blues on record. He created one long uproar of laugh- ter. Miss Mae Lattural has sweet voice and sang-"You got to be an American to feel that way" with such ease and grace that she won a hearty applause from the audience. The Electric Theatre gives change of program of moving pictures every night, and complete change of program in vaudeville Wednes- day and Saturday nights. They will give a special matinee Satur- day afternoons for ladies and children from ? to 5 D. m. The admission will be 10 cents to all any part of the house. We con gratulate the management of the Electric for the enterprise shown, in giving the cleanest and best show of its kind, and wish them abundant success.

May Sell Mines

A rumor that is very persistent and which finds many believers is that negotiations have been on for some time for the acquisition of the mining properties of Senator w. A. Clark by Amalagmated in- terests. says the Chicago Mining World. Reports have it that his bank alone is exempt from the pro- posed deal. It is a fact that sev- eral years ago MT. Clark rec ,ived a flat offer for his mining interests in Butte. but he declined the offer because he considered the price at that time. when the copper boom was near its height, as being inad- equate. Conditions have greatly changed since then and friends of Mr. Clark says he is not averse to retiring from the activities of min ing.

More Pay for Soldiers

The United States senate has passed the army appropriation bill carrying total appropriation of about $9S. 100000. This bill also provides for the increase of pay for the officers and enlisted men of the army and marine corps. The off, cers will receive increases varying from 10 to 25 per cent the higher the grade the lower the increase, and the enlisted men will receive an averge increase of 25 per cent, as much as 50 per cent additional being paid to men who enlist for the third time or more. Democrats as well as republicans voted for the increase of the pay of the army for the cost of living has so generally increased that the pay table fixed nearly twenty years ago was by no means adequate to the expenses of officers and men, especially now that the foreign service entails so much expensive travelling. This lis matter of local interest in Prescott. as the soldier boys who will garrison Whipple on the north ern suburb of the town will circu
 late more money fresh from Uncle Sans money mills and the pay of tte privates and non-commissioned officers has always been too small.
