MISS DUNAWAY PLEASES
Audience Delighted With Conway Girls
 ''Lady of the Decoration"

To say the audience was delight ed would be expressing i'll mild terms the pleasure experienced by those who heard Miss Kettle J. Dunaway at Central College last evening in her presentation of "The Lady of the Decoration" in character costume. The attendance was by no means as large as the entertainment deserved, but the audience was appreciative and showered this daughter of Conway with compliments over the splendid advancement she has made in the art of entertaining since her last public appearance here several years ago.
 "The Lady of the Decoration" is adapted from a pretty little story by Francis Little. The story is tod in a series of letters from a young Kentucky woman who is
 "a widow, but not sorry" to be- loved cousin. The young woman, it develops, was forced at IS into an ill-advised match with man much her senior, who for seven years holds the high-spirited young girl in galling bondage and then obliging- ly departs this life. As there seems nothing else to do the young wid- ow takes steamer for Japan to engage for four years in mis sion work. It is during this time that the letters Miss Dunaway reads are.written. Her delineation of the varying moods of the "lady" are charming. Jack, a sweetheart of her young girlhood, has ever remained true, and though she has forbidden his writ ing to her, the gradual ascendency ot her love for him, with its cul- imitation amid the stirring scenes of the Russo-Japanese war, is beautifully expressed by the read CT. Lingering upon delicate touches of pathos just long enough to start the tears, Miss Dunaway swiftly makes her hearers laugh through them with her spontane- ous humor. Not the least enjoy able feature was the songs appro- priately introduced. The piano accompaniments were played by Miss Julia Robins.

CHANCERY COURT ADJOURNS
Cases of the Two Mrs Meeks Against
 John Meeks Settled by the Court

Chancellor J. G. Wallace com pleted the work of the adjourned term of chancery court yesterday afternoon, after holding a session of two days here.
 The only case heard yesterday afternoon was that of Mrs. Van Meeks and Mrs. F. M. Meeks against John Meeks. The first named plaintiff is former wife of the defendant, Meeks having SC. cured a divorce from her some time ago. After marrying again, he and his second wife, Mrs. F. M. Meeks, separated, the latter filing a petition for alimony at the Sep tember, 1908, term of chancery court. The court granted the pc tition, ordering the defendant to pay to her SI2 50 per month, which he failed to do and was committed to jail, being confined over a month. The court last March or dered him released from custody and set the final hearing of the case for the adjourned term. In the meantime Mrs. Van Meeks intervened i'll the case and asked possessi il of certain land notes, which she claimed Meeks had promised her as a consideration for not appearing to resist his divorce proceedings against her. The court yesterday afternoon made an order giving Mrs. Van. Meeks judgment for the notes sued for, which retain a vendors lien on certain land in this county and, with interest, amount to SI3o.4o. Mrs. F.M. Meeks was given judg- ment for SS7. 50, to be paid out of certain rents collected by receiv CT, and the defendant was also or dered to pay her $2 month al- imony.

Little Rock, May 6.-With the state capitol bill out of its system, the house yesterday afternoon took mp a number of bills and passed them. The senate took half day off, considering it good time to see a double hea der at the baseball grounds. Governor Donaghey stayed at his office all afternoon meeting his friends and attending to important business. Congratu- lations from every side poured in on him, and the afternoon was a busy one for him.
 The principal business of the house was the racing bill brought over from the senate, where it was passed by large majority. The Wadley bill provides foi racing in Garland, Phillips and Jackson counties. sWhen presented and read once, the motion to place it on a second reading carried by a vote of 40 to e5. The bill will probably be called up today and the friends say the vote yesterday means it will pass by safe major ity. The house passed the bill ap- propriating $4o3, 52S for the sup port of the state hospital for ner- vous diseases. This appropriation is S5S36 less than it was two years ago. :The Bush bill providing $o3 900 for the State Normal was read twice.
