Two DisappOintments.

The Missouri School Marm at the opera house Saturday night was pre- sented to very small audience, and the company deserved no better. There was nothing in the play in the first place, and in the second place the company was incapable of presenting it in pleasing manner.

"Paper Dress Party at Mrs. Baugh's

One of the most original entertain ments of the Season-"A Paper Dress Party" was given by Mrs. J, D. Baugh Tuesday night. In spite of the in- element weather, quite crowd gath cred in the spacious parlors. The la dies were gowned in exquisite crea- tions of most original pattern and rainbow colorS. The gentlemen were in conventional black, but their vivid comments on the exhibits greatly added to the color scheme.
 At o'clock all the ladies were placed in the center of the room, blind folded, and as the notes of a march sounded from the piano, the gentle men joined hands and circled around. As the music ceased ab- ruptly, the ladies then secured mil liner. Their captives were then led into another room, and unaided, were compelled to not only select material, but make and trim hat most suit able to his partners dress and com plexion.
 The scene beggars description. How ever, the arduous task completed, and the hats in place, another march car ried them past the judges, who award ed boxes of paper, tirst,to the trimmer of the most up-to-date hat.

PROSPERITY YS. POLITICS.

State prosperity and politics seldom go hand in hand. One would think that the state politician would make efforts to accomplish the greatest bene- fits for his state, if for no higher mo- tive than his own political advance. ment, but whether from blindness or from obstinacy, this is seldom the case. The politician seems to think that the people are always gullible, and that the more fanatical he can be the more popular he will become. He loves to array poverty against capital, and to picture the sufferings of the former in order to awaken antago- nism against the latter. Down with capital he cries, and waves his red flag with the skull and cross bones. But in doing all this, he does not feed the hungry, or clothe the naked, or bring solace or comfort to the stricken. He is a puller down of things, but not builder. The time has come when the people of this state realize that all this clamor about corpora tionS and the railroads and wealth is a selfish and senseless effort to further political designs, and that it can mean no present or ultimate good to the state. To be prosperous we must have the investment of capital, and in no way can this investment be made at a greater benefit to our people than in our railroads
 Waste places must be made to blos- som; wild regions must be redeemed and made populous. Arkansas as a whole must be brought in quick con- nection with the markets where her produce will be sold, and all this means railroads, prosperous railroads with money to construct new roads and to improve the old, to repair and buy new equipment, and to give the state railroad system which will be up to the highest standard of modern times, quick and efficient in service, not at ruinously low, but at fair rates, the imposition of no unjust burdens by way of expenses; no senseless re-

When Was Washington Born!

Washington's Birthday last Mon day brought up the question in the
 above caption. A subscriber brought in paper containing sketch of the life of Washington, in which was quoted the inscription on his tomb, one line of,which read. Born Feb :. ruary II, l732 Co. S )'' For the benfit of this inquirer, and for general in- formation we print the following ex- planation: si,... .n. 4.
 Tn i5s2, owing 10 the cumulative error of eleven minutes in the Julian calendar. the yernal equinox really took place ten days earlier than its date n.the calendar, and accordingly Pope Gregory XIII issued brief abolishing the Julian calendar in all Caeholic countries, and introducing in it's stead the one now in use, the Gre goridn Or Reformed Calendar. In this way began the ae,r stgie, as opposed 10 the other or old style. Ten days were to be dropped; every hundredth year, which by the old style was to have been leap year, was now to be a common year, the fourth excepted; and the length of the solar year was taken to be 365 days, five hours, forty
 nine minutes and twelve seconds, the difference between which and subse- tuent observations is immaterial. The new calendar was adopted in Spain, Portugal and France in 1882; in Catholic Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands, in 15S3; in Poland in 1886: in Hungary in 1887; in Protest ant Germany, Holland and Denmark in FOO; in Switzerland in 110l; in England in l752; and in Sweden, l753. In the English calendar of sl752, also, the 1st of January was now adopted as the beginning of the legal year, and it was customary for some time to give two dates for the period inter vening between lst January and 25th March, that of the old and that of the new year, as January l75s. Rus sia alone retains the old style, which now differs twelve days from the new.

SPOKANE POLICE
CALL FOR HELP
REQUEST FOR STATE TROOPS
is REFUSED.
GOVERNOR IS APPEALED TO
Overflow at Spokane Jail VIII Be
Escorted Out of Town-Gov-
ernor Is Appealed to.

Olympia, Wash, Nov. l0.-At the
request of Acting Governor Howell,
the war department has telegraphed
the commanding officer at Fort
Wright to furnish guardhouse ac-
commodations for such city prison
ers at Spokane as the city authori-
ties cannot care for at the city Jail.
The acting governor has so far re-
fused the request of the mayor,
sheriff and police commissioner that
members of the national guard be
detailed to guard the prisoners. In
fact, Governor Howell, who was a
militia officer for many years, is
opposed to calling out the state
troops until there is absolute need
and telegraphed the mayor of Spo-
kane suggesting that a bull pen be
established.
A telegram from the national cap
itol came to the governor last night
announcing that orders had beer
sent to the commanding officer a
Fort Wright that he furnish guart
room for civilian prisoners on condi
ton that the city or county furnish
the necessary guards. The Telegram
said there is no authority in Law
for the use of the United State
troops as guards in such case.

MAY USE TECHNICALLY
John Riplinger, Alleged Enbezzler,
MAY Go Free.

Olympia, Wash, Nov. S.-John
Riplinger, ex-city controller OF Sc
attic, who was defeated for mayor
and fed TO Honduras, from where
he recently returned, may escape
prosecution for alleged embezzle-
ment as result of supreme court
decision rendered here.
On all city contracts at Seattle it
has long been the custom that sue
cessful contractors should deposit a
certain percentage of their contract
price with the city controller. 1t was
such moneys Riplinger is accused
of having stolen. In test case the
supreme court held that these mon
eys were not city funds. Attorneys
say this dccision-that the money
was not city funds-relieves Rip
linger's bondsmen from liability, as
they only guaranteed safe handling
of city money, and also means dis
missal of all charges which were
based upon the contention that the
money belonged to the city.

Judge Mann, of Spokane, Rules in
Favor of I. w. w.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 8.-Judge
Mann, of the municipal court, ruled
that the mayor and his officials were
unjustly discriminating against the
Industrial Workers of the World in
absolutely prohibiting them from
speaking on the street corners, when
the Salvation Army, the President
of the United States and VIM. J..
Bryan were extended that privilege,
together with police protection. He
repealed an ordinance that gave the
mayor power to permit regularly or
ganized religious bodies to use the
streets for their meetings, and to
withhold that privilege from others.
