 AHEAD
MENA IN SEPTEMBER, 1912.


 The following, like Jules verne's 'sAround the World in Eighty Daysn and '9fwenty Thousand Leagues Un- der the Sea- is look into Dream land, but far more likely to be real ized than were the visions formed in the mind of the writer of romance of fifty years ago. And besides, the au- ther of these pleasant dreams is not all n dreamer dreams and helps bring them into real life. And he be- lieves it is our duty to Hook for ward.h
 The contract for the big hotel planned for Stilwell Heights is to be let tomorrow. The estimated cost of this hotel without furnishings is about $2O0,000. This, with the Ar lington on Quigley Hill and the Southern on Grand View already in operation will give Mena standing of which we may justly feel proud.
 More than l50 tourists left the ho- tels on burros early this morning to go over the high drive across the park to Rich Mountain hotel, where they will spend the night, returning tomorrow. Automobiles later in the day carried across the same rout as many more.
 Yesterday being an ideal day, the electric cars to all the resorts, espec- lally to the Ouachita bath houses and and Reeves Springs were crowded. The automobile and carriage compa- nies are unable to meet the demands upon them, yet early in the spring the various companies had provided themselves with hundreds of new and up-to-date vehicles, which they considered sufficient for the trade.
 Beginning with the first of the month the Mena, Hot Springs X Memphis railroad will run a solid train of standard sleepers. The train will leave here at 10:30 D. m. and arrive at II a. m. The other trains will hold their regular sched- ule. The double track is completed as far as Hot Springs and is being put in between Hot Springs and Memphis.
 The big contracts for new drive ways to Reeves and Boggy Springs and to the Ouachita have been let. They will be of asphalt. Next week contracts will be published for more than 100 blocks of paving within the city.
 Judge Kelly is to be congratu- lated upon the successful compile ton of the Sl0,000 fountain in Jans- sen Park. The park was crowded last evening witaess the opening of the fountain. All were more than delighted with the fountain made various colored lights upon it. The w. o. w. band, now having 40 mem- bers, is drawing thousands, and has admirers from among the best mu- sicians of the South.
 The "Mena 50,000 Club" has sue ceeded in buying all of the half block of "Old Front street" facing the union depot. The city will wreck the old buildings and park the half block, after erecting a club room at cost of about $40,00
 The traffic is very heavy on all the railroad lines leading into Mena, as material is being rushed in from all directions for the new St. Louis, Mena X Paris trunk line.

4 CHINESE NUGGET"
 AT THE COLISEUM
A New Bill Will Bs Put on Next
 Tuesday.

That Reeves and Wood are deliver ing a rattling good class of vaudeville is demonstrated by the coming bill that they will present to Phoenix on the change of bill Tuesday night. Both of the two numbers, Joel and Pearson in a Chinese Nugget" and Temple and OrBricn in a bunch of eXhilirating comedy work.
 "The Chinese Nugget" is a typical western one-act skit, of wholesome humOr, considerable pathos, and all sorts of leeway for versatile acting, which Joel and Pearson certainly know how to deliver. It is realistic, and treats of a woman's love, backed by the love of gold and an impetus such as Jack London gives his characters. The character work is above the aver age and goes as deep in some places as Ghosts" It is clever. original, clean, and sends the onloOker home in a brown study. on several things that are not thought of every day. Pear son, whose real name is William Ran dolph Scott, is a man. of experience, be- ing formerly in the capacity of GUS toms inspector at Port Townsend, Washington. He not only knows the peculiarities, but the dialect of the Mongolian, with the intOnation.
 Temple and O'Brien, in their danc- ing and singing stunt, with a goodly sprinkling of monoloGue, is entirely different from any other act of this nature presented either in the Coli scum or any other Phoenix amuse- ment houses. Miss Temple is the holder of the championship of buck and wing dancing in this country at the present time and holds the medal to this effect.
 The bill last night brought two massed houses. Dixie Christie ap- peared in an entirely new musical act, and pleased even better than she did before. Sam owens was clever in a. new turn and the farce by Long, West and owens, still more humorous than the preceding one, sent both houses into the street laughing.

WILD WEST SPORTS.
Cheyenne's Celebration of the Fron.
 tier Days.

Cheyenne, Aug. 19.-Ed Mccarthy, a youth of this city made the best time in steer-roping thus far, in the events connected with the Frontier Days eel ebration. He caught, threw and tied the animal in 45 2-5 S econds. The wild horse race was won by Simon Gaskin. a negro, from a field of eighteen contestants Some of them never even got into their saddles, and others were compelled to sit help lessly on their mounts which refused to move from their tracks and still others were carried through fences by unmanageable horses.
 Charles Smith, heretofore an invin- cible buster, was thrown by Rocking Chair. the first time in his career he has ever been unhorseh. There were fifteen buster events. Dick Stanley, last years champion is here to enter the finals and will ride Steamboat, the worst bucker in this region.

Munich ''

Munich"
 The most artistic building, l think, is the Ratshaus or city hall. Eleven years this building was under con struction; the architect being PrOfes- sor von Hauberisser. Dainty spinarets, heavy pillars and graceful towers give a pleasing atmosphere to this mas sive structure while the tall tower which crowns one side adds to its em- pressiveness.
 In this tower is shown the tourna- ment of 156S during the massive feasts of Wilhelm V. and Renata of Lothrin gen and the dance of the cooper. all with electric moves after the plans of Hochtl
 On the top floor of the tower is the carillon with forty-three bells. A spa cious court is found in the center of the building with a winding stair. The paintings which decorate the interior are by PilOty and Lindenschmit and the stained glass is by Kolmsperger and Zettler
 Another beautiful building is the Maximilianeum. which overlooks the Isar rover and is at the head of the MaXimiIian street.
 In the old Pinakothek can be seen the paintings of old masters, while in the new Pinakathel are those of the modern artists.
 Out by the Theresian meadows we find the statue of Bavaria. This is a huge figure of a Grecian woman. In one hand she holds aloft a victors wreath and the other she rests upon lion which croUches at her side. This statue fronts the Ruhmeshalle CHall of Fame) in which is displayed the busts of the famous men of Munich
 What charmed me most were the quaint and ancient gateways-both recalling bygone days. Little shops line these narrow streets and although there is scarcely room for one person on the sidewalk and perhaps four abreast in the street, nevertheless the crowds which walk along are never impatient or in hurry.
 beautiful park-the English gar den runs along one side of the city and in the busiest streets, sections of ground are planted with trees, grass and flowers; an artistic fountain erected and benches placed here and there.
 Such an artistic town deserves to be called the Athens of the Isar and thus it may be Gas the people of Nun ich say) that when am again at home a beautiful picture will come before my eyes which will gain figure and name, sound and color, and from this remembrance grow to a new longing called Munich"

POLICE REGULATION
 FOR THE BAD HANDS,
The District Will Be Iosed at Midnight
 Hereafter.

A new order has been issued by the police department which will affect the denizens of the bad lands.' Here after the redlight district will be closed up tight every night at F o'clock. This order was given yesterday by Marshall Moore, with the approval of the mayor.
 The bad lands have been the scene of early morning brawls and fights so that the neighbOrhood has become un- bearable. It has become the practise of the rowdies who frequent the saloons to move over to that district on the stroke of midnight when the saloons close. Saturday nights in par ticular have witnessed many fights in the district.
 Officer Gaskin has been detailed to see that the district is closed at F, and after that hour the night police will look after affairs in that quarter

Miss Emma Thalheimer Writes Entertainingly of the Famous Bavarian City Which Must Be Seen If One Sees Father land Well

Munich. Germany, Aug. S.-(Special Correspondence of The RepubIican.)- Munich, A short word-a quick word rapidly spoken, but how very much it contains. It is difficult to exhaust the contents of the word Munich for it gives a happy blending ofeart, nature and man. Many other cities have mag nificent buildings; rich museums and beautiful surroundings but Munich has d special charm and grandeur of its own.
 Such kings as Ludwig I, Ludwig II. and MaXimilian II. added much to the museums of relics and antique Through their efforts artistic monu- ments were erected, bridges built and public buildings constructed. Then there are the artists Cornelius, Kaul- back, Schwanthaler, Klenze, Gartner, Liebland who gave a new impetus to art and strengthened the Bavarian saying that Not one dares say that he knows Germany if he hasn't seen
