 Clay Clement was possibly one of the best known actors that ever toured this section. In this city some years ago he was a great favorite ap- bearing in "The Bells and other well known offerings. He was most successful for several years, but in the past seven or eight years his love for the stock markets resulted in his downfall and he was not of the best of condition financially. He spent much time around the Hobbies of St. Louis hotels and was a famil- far figure there.
 Miss Nell McEwen, a Pine Bluff young lady, was formerly a member of his company and made decided hit in several of his plays. She has married since leaving the Clement company and is now living in New York City. where she is taking leads in a popular stock company.
 Clay Clement was seen at the Elks Theater and the old Pine Bluff Opera House several times in his great play "The New Dominion,' in which he created the celebrated character of the Baron Honenstauffen. Some years ago he was seen on the Majestic cir cult in his new play, Sam Houston dramatic portrayal of events in the life of the great Texas soldier-states- man.
 Clement was born in Woodford county, H., Dec. 21, 1863, graduated from the preparatory department of the University of Chicago Tn 1892, and was an undergraduate of the in stitution in 1897. He read law with Judge w. l.. Shell in Chicago for a year and became an actor ln lSo4. His first wife, Hattie Marshall, died in 1896, and his second wife surviv- ing him, was Kathleen Kerrigan of Louisville. He was a member of the Chicago Press Club. He was the au- thor of numerous short stories, poems and one-act plays and the following dramas, all of which have proven suc- cessful: "The New Dominion QS94). "A Southern Gentleman (1S9O, Ping Pong q9OD, and Sam Hous- ton'' Q906), with John McGovern and Jesse Edson.
 In 1892 he played in "The Bells and the Mountebank" in 1893 in ''Vir- ginius" in 1894 in 'The Old Domin- ion. and in 1896 in "A Southern Gen. tleman''. His play Sam Houston produced on the Majestic circuit, was the entering wedge in the breaking up of the theatrical trust in Texas in 1906. Last season he appeared in vaudeville.

 stein and Marks.

The opening of the Bluestein and Marks Coffee Company, at No. POS West Second avenue, yesterday be- tween the hours of and 10 o'clock, D. m., was one of the most brilliant things of it's kind ever pulled of by a new firm in this city. The bad weather held many anxious ladies in- doors all through the day and these were unable to attend the much an- ticipated affair, but not considering the weather a crowd sufficient to call for the need of about ten courteous clerks to wait upon them, came out and were highly pleased with the eX cellent showing made by the firm on the initial day. A stringed orchestra mounted on a platform above the front show windows, furnished music during the hours, adding much pleas ure to the callers. The windows, after the curtains had been removed,
 were attractively arranged in dis plays of the choice stock carried by the firm, while in the other was the beautiful set of dishes that is to be given away to the lady guessing nearest to the number of coffee beans in a glass jar suspended above. The guessing for this set of dishes will be continued until Saturday a week, when it will be closed, and the beans will be counted by repre- sentative of the two newspapers.
 On the inside of the building a handsome decoration of Japanese lan- terms prevailed on the ceiling and on either sides of the building were cof- fee bins and counter Eighteen brands of the highest grades of cof- fee were shown and also twenty-four different kinds of tea were displayed. All the goods shown were branded and labeled ''Bluestein & Marks, Pine Bluff, Ark In the rear of the installed by M S. Kenney, southern representative of the JabeZ-BurnS Roasting and Cleaning Machinery Company, of New York. was kept in operation during the hours and at tracted much attention. The machine showed the coffee as it entered in a green state. From the machina it passed to the oven, where it was parched to a good taste, after which it passed to a large tray and after be- ing cooled was passed through cleaner, which separated every grain from dirt and then it is sent to the barrels.
 The refreshments served consisted of most delicious coffee and tea, made on table before the callers and served on several tables that were arranged through the center of the room Pleasing waters were also served with the coffee. Charlie Bry- ant presided at the coffee urn Mes SITS. Bluestein and Marks are both experienced men in this business, and from the excellent opening day the new firm promises to be a re- markable success. Pine Bluff has been without a firm of this nature, but the opening f this place yester- day gave the city one of the finest stores of it's kind in the state. The firm handles the very best grades of coffee, teas, spices, extracts, syrups
 and butter. The coffee sold by this
 firm will be ground before sold, and
 machines have been installed that
 will grind the dope to suit the most
 fastidious users in the city. The
 crowd in attendance was large dur
 ing every hour of the opening.

WAS DEATH TRAP FOR WOLF
No Possible Invention Devised by
Man Gould Have Been More
Fatal to Animal.

In the winter of 1861" says q
contributor to the Wide World Maya
zine, Il was depot agent at Duncan,
lNeb.. small town on the main line
OF the Union Pacific railroad, SO miles
west Of Omaha. The weather was bit
terly cold. One morning shortly after
daybreak, while man knew, called
Herman Ernst, and his assistant were
hauling hay a short distance from my
station, the formers attention was at
tracted to 8 gray wolf standing be-
tween the rails on the main line, and
as he did not leave the spot on the ap-
proach OF Herman's wagon, he, Her.
man, grabbed his fork and ran up to
the wolf, which had its head close to
the rails as if in trap. After killing
the wolf, Herman tore the animal
from the rail and was astonished to
note that Its tongue was left attached
to the metals. Subsequently, investi-
gated this curious incident and
evolved the following explanation. The
morning passenger train had passed
that point only a few minutes before
Herman saw the wolf and had run
oyer a jack rabbit. leaving the blood
on the rail. The wolf had either been
chasing the rabbit or had happened
by soon afterward, and in trying to
lick the blood from the rail his
tongue, owing to the intense cold Of
the metal, froze to 1t, while the saliva
from his mouth became cake OF
solid ice over an inch thick, attach
ing him to the rail as securely as
though in wise. 1 afterward bought
the hide from Mr.. Ernst, and it is now
in my house, an object of; interest to

While 1t was expected that Mrs

husband the kaiser's hospitality.
the fact that the ruler laid aside
official red tape and urged in a
personal letter that the entire fam
lily should accept his hospitality is
considered noteworthy.
Roosevelt and Kermit started for
Venice at 2:30 this afternoon. They
will arrive there at 2 o'clock

With the above caption, 500 petit
tions have been printed and are
now in circulation calling upon the
city council to set a date for a spe-
cial election for the selection of an
official charter committee of 15
members.
The volunteer charter committee
asked the city council recently to
take this action, but the request
was pigeonholed without as much
as even reading it in open council.
With 25 per cent of the qualified
voters on the petitions 1t becomes
mandatory upon the city council
to call the election of an official
charter committee. The council
will probably oppose the commits
sion plan of government at every
turn, as a majority of the council
is against 1t.
With the endorsement of the
Trades Council and various civic
organizations. and In view of the
recent troubles at the city hall, 1t
is believed that the petitions will
meet with ready response from
the voters of the city.
Following is the resolution
passed by the labor council:
Whereas, The city council has
filed and ignored the report of the
provisional charter committee and
the recommendation of Mayor
Pratt for a commission form of
government for the city of Spo-
kane; and
Whereas, The waste of public
funds, delay in public business and
incompetency of administration is
plainly apparent under the present
system of municipal government;
and
Whereas, The commission form
of government, in every instance
where it has been tried, has proven
it's value in promptness and ef-
ficiency in public business, at less
cost, and that 1t has proven that
the government is more thorough
ly in the hands of the people with
the initiative, referendum and re-
call; and
Whereas, Now that the city
council has refused'tO call an cleo

vention, so that Spokane can en-

way such an election can be
ordered is through an initiative Pc
