Little Rock, Ark, Sept. IT, Woe unto the man. white or black. caught selling whiskey in Philadelphia, even though he bears the name of the father of his country. George Washington, a six foot negro tried the game, and is now in the city jail await ing transportation to the farm in Desha county where Clar k e county prisoners are worked. If he serves his time out it will re- quire him over 5 years to get free, and then the government will take a hand in fur ther punish ing the neg Q. Washington was caught with the goods on him in Philadelphia, and his aggregate fine was SLIGO and two years on the county farm with all the costs of the proceedings added, which at 75 cents per day, will give him time to mediate at least, before his sentence expires. Washing ton was placed in the jail here between trains, and did not seem worried over the five years he would have to spend on the farm, but the government sentence at the end of that time worried him not a little.

SENIORS
Of Local High School do
Themselves Proud in
"Higbee Of Harvard"
SHOW. MUCH TALENT

The Grand theatre was filed to it's
utmost capacity Friday night with
more than delighted audience to wit
ness the play produced by the Senior
much credit cannot be given to the
performers in "Higbee of Harvard
The play itself is we'll adapted for
amateur acting and the class showed
it's good judgment in its selection. 1t
gives all the chance in the world for
the actors to show their ability and
is one of those plays that are really
comic, which fact the audience appre-
ciated
But the manner in which it was
produced by the actors was the main
feature of the evenings entertainment
Each and every member in the cast
fitted his part exceedingly we'll and
to an outsider little difference could
have been noticed between the last
nights production as put on by the
Seniors and one that would have been
put on by an all star cast. The abil-
ity in the theatrical line shown by
the actors in the play was remark
able. The audience voiced their keen
appreciation of the efforts of the
young people by loud and long ap-
plause and the play was often inter
rupted by it.
There were nine Seniors in the
cast and incidentally mule labelled
"'09." The play was given under the
direction of Miss Wilhelmina Deissle,
and the success of the evening is fit
ting reward for her patience in re-
hearsing the actors Not a detail in
acting or in scenery or in settings
was omitted.
George w. Weeks as Watson w.
Higbee, surprised everyone by the
talent displayed. He had an exceed
ingly difficult part but he carried of
the honors easily by his natural man.
ner. He was simply great.
William Steele, as Senator Withrow
played that part to perfection and his
work was very good. Alden Miller as
LOrin Higbee, one of the heroes OF
the play, did himself proud in the
part, and Carroll c. Cook as Ted, his
college chum, and later as his partner
in love and mining concerns, was ex'
ceptionally realistic in his work al
love making and mining. James G
Kramer, as Higgins the butler, was
irresistible in his makeup and his ap
pearance on the stage was always the
signal for much merriment.
The young ladies in the play certain
ly deserved all the praise that csi
be bestowed on them. Miss Marguer

quiet and lovely as her part de-
manded and she also had a temper
when called upon to have one. Nancy
Withrow, the senator's daughter, an
up-to-date, level-headed girl, was por-
trayed charmingly by Miss Leila How
er, who seemed to be very much at
home on the stage Mrs. Ballou, the
senator's sister, was taken by Miss
Grace Holwick and was well taken
too. Miss Frances Blake as Mrs. Mall
vina Meddigrew, could not have been
improved upon it seemed to the audi
ence last night. Her part demanded
some dificult acting but she was cap
able of doing it.
The High School orchestra furnished
the music for the occasion and they
came in for her share Of the gener-
Gus applause.
The plot of the play was simple but
fOrceful The two young men become
infatuated with Madge and Nan and
they are bound to win them. This
is a big undertaking for the parents
of the Higbee youth and the WithrOw
lass have different designs for their
children. But undaunted the young
men set themselves to the task of win
ming a way in the world and they more
than accomplish their purpose and the
ending of the play is altogether love
ly as there is a quadruple wedding
celebrated.
All the ladies in the cast were pre-
sented with bouquets Of roses after
the second act and in answer to pro-
longed applause Mr. Weeks made
curtain speech that was a gem and
was much enjoyed by the audience in
asmuch as High school life was
brought into it to the discomfort Of
the victims Of the speech.
It is safe to say that better pleas
ed crowd never left the theatre than
that of last night.
The cast was banqueted at the
Courtland after the performance, with
Miss Deissle and few friends.

Saxaphone quartet assisted by the
cadet corps gave a musical and elocu-
tionary treat to 1crowd that filled
the auditorium to the doors, many be-

particularly pleasing and many fav-
orable comments were heard from
those present.

WHITLOCK, GOVERNOR

Cleveland, o., May 10.-Develop.

Peter this designation and unless

Mayor Johnson put Peter, and all
the others in his organization, into

put. He's nursing a little insurrec-
ton in the party and if he can per.

WRITES OPINION OF HARMON.
In a letter to Mr.. Whitlock Peter
employed no gentle phrases in deliver
ing his opinion of Judson Harmon,
Democratic nominee for governor.
Mr.. Whitlock is urged to get into the
contest. Following is a copy of TIE

Colt, Ark, March 29, 1908
 On the 27th of March, 1908, al i o'clock a.m., that dark and uncompro- missing Angel of Death visited the home of Mr NJ F. Williams and took therefrom it's brightest and farest jewel in the person of our little friend and schoolmate, Medgar F. Williams Before we could scarcely realize that our little friend was sick, his precious body was consigned to the cold grave. But, alas earth was not suit able tabernacle for such boy as this Dear Medgar, though we will miss you greatly and oft in the solitude of life, our hearts will bleed and yearn for thy presence. yet we are willing that Heaven should have it's own.
 Medgar Williams was born Septem- Der 23rd, 1896, and died March 27, 1908 Being about my own age, l believe can truthfully say that of all my schoolmates and associates, 1 admired him most of all He was trusted and loved to an unusual degree by his old gray-haired grandfather, MT. x. G. Williams, ST. After the death Of Mrs. Williams, Medgar was almost the sole companion of Uncle Nat, ' and this staid old patriarch was made to sigh and tremble like the wither- ing leaves of the forest when in the silent presence of his loved and idol ized boy.
 Farewell dear Medgar; when my time comes to lay aside this mortal | coil, will you stand upon the brink of ! that other shore and beckon me oe'r the stormy deep.

DONAGHEY'S GREAT VICTORY.
Governor George W. Donaghey

GoYernor George W. Donaghey.
 That sounds good to the thousands of honest patriotic voters of Arkan- sas, who supported him and opposed the Jeff Davis dictatorship. That sounds good 10 the same great body of patriots who have tired of the Jel Davis brand of dirty politics in Arkansas.
 On the other hand it is gall and wormwood 10 those few who still cling to Jeff Davis and his methods, and blindly follow his beck and call. without regard to consequences 10 the States fair name and interests.
 Donaghey is elected. 1 His victory, said the Arkansas Ga zette, few days ago, was won over two of the best and ceanest men that have ever offered for office in Ark ansas.
 It was also won over the strongest. most corrupt and up to this time, the snost invulnerable machine that ever cursed Arkansas politics.
 The honor is most worthily dispos- ed of when it is accorded to George w. Donaghey, truly man of the peo- pie, man who has heWed out his own destiny by honest and conscientious effort.
 He has had most wonderful organ ibation of friends and co-workers throughout the whole State, almost township organization, in fact; for he knew 1t was necessary to combat by heroic measures the opposition ar rayed against him by the machine.
 He was also amost thorough and sys- tematic advertiser through the press and by means of literature sent 10 every Democratic voter in the State, and this had great influence
 Although not gifted as an orator or even as public speaker, he developed an ability 10 express himself forcibv and effectively, and by his straight forward assault on what he conceived 10 be repulsiNe to good government, he won many to his standard.
 Added to his personal following was that of the anti-.Ieff Davis faction. large element Of which espoused his cause. believing him the strongest candidate to overcome the ring.
 These elements combined to make him irresistible, and the anpreiudiced observer saw several weeks ago what the signs portended.
 Arkansas has made no mistake in nominating George w Donaghey for governor.
 He wears the collar of no man or clique of men. and, having demon strated that he is able to conduct his own affairs most successfully, may be trusted to serve the State with equal loyalty and faithfulneSs.
