TENTH CAvALRY'S BIG CATCH

For the trained soldier the recent in

been a splendid vindication. Down a

An umpire who had just awarded
them their capture had advised them
to make Il hurried getaway while they
could, but they had tarricd to break
fast. All at once rifles loosened their
fire from the hedge where the three
dark troopers hid. Every blue man
grabbed his rifle and worked his way
to the crossroads corner. They saw "A
solid file of cavalrymen charging to-

This failed to carry by one vote, the Patterson bill men refusing to vote for it. Little of Mississippi started off in the af- ternoon to keep up filibuster to prevent the bill coming to vote during the day. He yielded the floor for the vote on the Combs amendment. Dulaney spoke for some time in favor of the Dunaway bill, saying it was. the only one which could bring results. Parke took up the question and continued the filibuster until 9 o'clock, when the house finally adjourned. The supporters of the Dunaway bill threatened death for the Patterson bill when it comes to a vote today, as the Patterson bill is to come up on its third reading, as a special order of business for today.

May Festival Vetoed

Little Rock, April g. e.-Special.-
 No May Festival nor Home Com ing Week is to be enjoyed in Little Rock this year. Mayor Duley and the C. mmittee of the city council to which this proposition was re- ferred to, have decided the streets of Little Rock are intended for bus mess, and nothing else will be per mitted on them in the future. The promoters of the enterprise offered the city all sorts of inducements for the use of the streets, and had the names of several hundreds of mer- chants signed to petition asking for the use of the streets. but the committees were unanimous that Little Rock had outgrown street fairs, for such this would have been with shows on the main streets, and the request was respectfully declined.

TOUCHING IT ON THE TRAIL
Appetlxin9 Meal Prepared by Guide with Meager Cooking Facilities
 Willow Stick Over Coffee Pot.

Our guide allowed me to assist him in preparing the breakfast, though fancy my assistance might have been easily dispensed with. He sagely remarked that if was going to rough it l might as well begin learning now as any time. It was astonishing how appetizing a meal he prepared with the very fewest conveniences.
 For instance he made bread in the sack of flour without using bread pan. He hollowed out a cavity in the flour, poured in water, added salt and baking powder in proper quantities, then proceeded to mix the dough. He did another thing in his cooking that amused me very much. To prevent the coffee boiling over he placed a small green willow stick across the open top of the pot. The lesson in physics soon followed.
 The coffee bubbled and then rushed up to the top as though it was going to boil over the sides and extinguish the fire, but as soon as 1t touched the willow it subsided like some sentient thing-Forest and Stream.

BUREAU ANXIOUS
TO BEGIN SUIT
Extra Clerks Are at Work Get
ting Evidence Ready
-. for Hearing.

Word that the interstate commerce COM
mission viii meet in Salt Lake Septem-
Der p instead of one month later, was
received with pleasure by the Salt Lake
Commercial club traffic bureau yesterday,
although the change IN date VIII mean
that an extra force in the office Will be
necessary to get all Of the evidence IN
shape for presentation at the earlier date
The traffic bureau has received no Of
fetal notification of the change other
than the announcement made IN yester-
days Herald-RepUblican, and II may be
several days before the notification from
the commission reaches the bureau by
mail.
The last official communication from
the Interstate commerce commission re-
CCiVed by the local traffic bureau was
dated August l3 and this letter said
that on the return of the commissioners
from their vacations, the dates for the
western hearings would be set. Accord
ing to this letter. the commission intend
ed to go to Spokane first From there
hearings would be held in other cities of
the northwest. and then the commission
would go 90 San Francisco, Reno and
Phoenix, finishing in Salt Lake. The
fact that Salt Lake was really the hub
of the western country so far as the
fight for just freight rates was concerned,
was presented properly to the commits
sion, and the decision to hold the hearing
at Salt Lake first was the apparent re-
suit.
The local traffic bureau mas prepared
volumes Of evidence in the case, cover
ing every phase of the situation. 1t is
probable that more than one hearing in
the case viii be held, for the reason
that the traffic bureau viii require that
certain books of the railroads be pro-
duced before the commission which viii
not be available until the commission is
sues formal order that they be pro
duced
Answers to the complaint filed with the
interstate commerce commission are be
ing received by the traffic bureau, that
