Pine Buff, Oct. 3O.-Who,esaie thefts of cattle which this spring aroused the entire southeastern part of the state, will be investi- gated next week by the grand jury of Arkansas county. 1t is expect ed that the guilt on innocence Of two prominent catt.emen, one of whom has figured in the limelight as feudist will be passed upon at the fall term of the court which convenes at Dewitt MOrt- day, providing the grand jury to which the men were bound over last June indicts them.
 The men whose names were cou- D ed by officers of the law with tho extensive cattle thefts are J.. M. Mcyay, formerly of Montice,loi w. H. Marks, his partner, and Pe- Ter Mcdonald, a negro.

Hardy, a former member ol the state board of charities, two years ago, Hardy was slain as he entered a passenger coach here. McVav was acquitted. He hati 'ormer V been shot by Hardy ana suffered the amputation of leg as result.

A Spook Party

The Halloween entertainment given at the home of Mrs. Gertrude
 Moncrief on last evening by the | 'adies of the Methodist church was q socia, as well as financial sue cess.
 arge and representative crowd of Prescott peop'e were present
 ~d we might say represented the whole seven ages of man." There were, more than a hundred guests present from the wee little tot
 who looked With awe and interest upon the weird and wonderful! fiE- ures presented to ones view from every side, to the gray haired mothers and fathers who sat and
 watched the gay throng whi'e their thoughts turned back many years ago to similar scenes of their happy childhood and lived over again the days of Aud Lang Syne'.'
 There, was no lack of interest every moment and one was usht cred from one room to another with thrilling pleasure.
 Mrs. Moncrief was assisted in re- ceiylug the guests by all kinds of spooks and spirits who did the honors of the occasion in paT- tomine.
 Mrs. Arthur Westmore.and and Mrs. c. P. Arnold, as spooks, ret ceived the guests at the enter door and pressed them into a room ap- propriately decorated with bats. back cats, and other ornaments" while huge lighted pumpkins stood grinning at you from every she and table.
 The witches pot was presided over by Mrs. Werner Hamilton,and Mrs. E. w. Conklin and contained generous amount of popcorn, which was sod a la Buffalo at Sets a sack. Probably the hgen! ious arrangement of this part of the house attracted the most at tention. An electric globe placed on a mirror and thin,N covered with excelsior over which hung the witches pot presented most natural effect and it seemed as if the tingling cold of the tips of your fingers might be easily dis pe!led by holding them close enough to the fire"

WHITE TO RESCUE.
EmpOria Editor Denounces Curtis At
tack as peanut Politics.

William Allen White, he who turn
ed the tide against Senator Long last
year, is still doing business at the old
stand. Any way his sign is still fast
senator on his blacklist and another
friend in place of Bristow who has
been exalted. The Emporia editor
comes TO the defense of Governor
Senator Curtis in the following edi-
torial, under the head of Peanut
Politics."
THE attempt of Senator Curtis to
fasten the increased state taxes on
Governor Stubs is peanut politics. The
facts are that the state auditor in his
report to the legislature two weeks
after Stubs had been in office told the
legislature that it would have to ap-
propriate for a million dollar deficit
istration. The appropriation was
made. 1t had to be made or state
warrants would have been turned
down. Stubs had nothing to do with
the expenditures of the money, nor is
it fair to blame it to Governor Hoch.
1.-The people of Kansas have been
taking more and more control and
supervision of public utilities: they
have been widening the sphere of the
power of the state; and it costs money.
They have had their return in lower
railroad rates, and fair, honest gov
eminent, and better educational inSti-
tuliOUS- 1n6Se cost money.
They have nothing to do with the gov
ernor's office. And the legislature in
appropriating the money to meet the
deficit did so because the deficit was
honestly made by the Hoch admins
tration-a thoroughly clean, efficient
administration.
THE administration of Governor
Stubs has ben within the law. 1t has
been business administration. And
it is peanut politics to cttempt to re-
establish the rule of the machine in
Kansas, by laying at the door of
Stubs the things which the people
themselves, through their legislature,
did.
eff Senator Curtis desires to make
Kansas a better state, he should have
voted for a tariff bill thai will not tax
the people unjustly for clothes and
sugar and paint, and lumber and 9TH
er necessities of life. The blame is
not on Stubs for the tax increase. 1t
was done by the legislature. But
Curtis did vote for the tariff bill, and
when the people of Kansas want to see
what Curtis has done for them, they
can look at their clothing bill, their
grocery bill, their lumber bill. There
is something to hold him for a while,
and to keep the people of Kansas
thinking who is their real servant"

along the river just what their name
sakes looked like. They spent last
night at Tarrytown, % miles above
New York, and left early today for
Ossinning. Because the men of the
eight torpedo boats and two gunboats
which compose their escorts had to re-
turn to New York today to take part
in the parade the two little vessels will
remain at Ossinning all day. Tomor-
row they will continue their trip up
the river.
Seats Sell at $50.
The successful trial flights of Will
bur Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss in
their aerOplanes yesterday with the
announcement that the official flights
up the Hudson and about Manhattan
Island would probably be attempted
today, served to greatly intensity the
interest of the crowds, and increased
their numbers. A few days ago the
hotel managers announced that they
were entertaining 100000 guests. 1t
was apparent today from the enor-
nous number of suburbanites and
others which the railroads early had
been dumping into the city that the
number of visitors would be greatly
increased.
Demands for seats along the route
of the parade We're such that prices
advanced sharply and those specula-
tors who had not sold out were de-
handing SIS and $40 for a single seat
tary parade and the probable airship
flights, interest today attached to mo-
tor boat races alongside the warships
in the Hudson river. The fastest mo-
tor boats in this country were entered
in a series of races ranging from ten
to sixty miles for valuable prizes Of
fered by the cele bration commission.
A brilliant reception and ball at
Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight
engrossed the attention of the social
~ prominent.
The illumination of the warships
last Saturday night created such
deep impression that the COMM Ssion,
acting on requests from many places,
has decided to repeat the illumina-
tions next Saturday night and it is
expected that this will attract to the
city many thousands of persons who
failed to witness the spectacle on its
first production.

STATE DICTATES STUDY.
Chicago Schools Must Teach Humane
Treatment of Animals.

Chicago. Sept. 30.-For the first time
in the history Of the public schools of
Illinois the state legislature has die
tated that a course of study, the hu-
name treatment of animals, henceforth
is to be taught. Not only is the course
ordered as part of the work of the COM
mon schools but the law provides a
penalty for neglect on the part of
teachers. The penalty is a Withholding
Of five per cent of the monthly SAL
aries.
The provisions of the new law are set
forth in a circular which was issued
by Mrs Ella Flagg Young, superintend
ent of schools. yesterday.
The circular was sent to all princi
pals and teachers in the Chicago pub
lie schools. The law makes it the duty
of teachers to teach honesty, kindness.
justice, and moral courage for the pur-
pose of lessening crime and raising the
standard of good citizenship" 1t pro-
vides that one-half hour each week
shall be devoted to teaching kindness
and justice to and humane treatment,
and protection of birds, animals, and
the important part they fulfill in the
economy of nature"

PASSENGERS RAN CAR.
Drove the Crew OF When 1t Refused
to Take Them Home.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 30.-All efforts to
bring about a settlement Of the street
car strike by arbitration have so far
been ineffective. Fifty business men
called upon President Wattles of tho
Street Railway company and urged
him to agree to arbitration, represent
ing to him that the present situation is
injuring business. Nothing resulted
from the conference.
Last night a riot call came from the
Ames avenue car barn and a sheriff's
posse was sent in answer. It was found
that the crew of a Florence car had re-
fused to carry a load of residents Of
that suburb home after collecting their
fares. The passengers drove the crew
off and ran the car home themselves.
1t is reported that the crew of q
Dundee car used similar tactics and
succeeded in collecting a second fare
from the passengers.
