VETERANS BACK
 FROM REUNION

Conway and Faulkner county's del egation to the Mobile Confederate re- union returned last night, tired but happy over the Arkansans' great vic tory in landing the next annual re- union for Little Rock.
 While every veteran who attended from this section worked night and day for Little Rock, they state that the work of Col. G. w. Bruce was of especial importance. Col. Bruce was appointed by General Clement A. Ev- ans as a member of the committee on credentials, which elected him it's chairman, and it was he who called attention to the constitutional provis- ion that no delegates except those who had paid their dues before com ing to the reunion were entitled to vote. This barred quite a number of Arkansas veterans, but worked more to the advantage of Little Rock than of Chattanooga. The veterans who were debarred from voting were, how ever, allowed to participate in all the business and discussions of the reun- ion.
 J. A. Ellzey Of Linder suffered the only accident occurring to the Con- way delegation While alighting from a street car in Mobile he stepped on a banana peel and fell to the ground, fracturing his arm near the wrist. He was consoling himself last night, however, in the fact that he had taken out an accident policy be- fore leaving home.
 All of the veterans and visitors tate that a better behaved crowd never attended a reunion than that from Conway. Although they say Mobile is by no means as dry a own as Alabama's prohibition laws would indicate, none of the veterans imihided too freely and there was no disorder of any kind.

WIDOW GETS
 4 PENSION

Little Rock, April 30.-Through accident Mrs. Joe Burton met Jerry Shibler in Brownsville, Pa, several months ago, and this chance meeting enabled her to prove herself the wld- ow of Joe Burton, the first marshal of Russellville, by which she will get a pension with considerable back pay. The papers in the case, with all proofs necessary, were yesterday af- ternoon sent to Washington by Spe- cial Pension Examiner Hoover. Ac- cording to the testimony in the case, Joe Burton was married in Pennsyl- vania in 1862 and then went to war, returning at the close to live with his wife three years Burton then dis appeared, Shibler going with him, and wandered to Arkansas. He work ed with Shibler on the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad, and 1870 found him at Russellville, where the town was incorporated. Burton was chosen the first marshal and served until Christmas of that year when he went to arrest a man by the name of Waters. Both drew their revolvers and fired, the aim of each being per feet, neither man speaking after the shots were fired, the bullets penetrat- ing the hearts of each man. Mrs. Burton never heard from her husband after he left Pennsylvania, in 1868, and though she applied for a pension years ago, was never able to prove her husband was dead. The chance meeting with Shibler informed her of her husbands death. It was then an easy matter for the pension examin- CTS to verify the statements, as a number of old citizens of Russellvile were found who knew Burton well and distinctly remembered the fatal shooting.

GOVERNORS MAY MEET.

Little Rock, April 30.-Gov. Dona- ghey Friday afternoon received a communication asking him to suggest meeting place for the 1910 conven- tion of governors. For the past few years the governors have been meet ing in Washington, but only small percentage attended these meetings, so it is desired that all governors vote on a meeting place in order that they may be more interested and attend Governor Donaghey cast his vote for Arkansas and asked the governors to come and spend half the time in Lit tie Rock and the other half in Hot Springs, which he considers the worlds greatest resort.

END CAMP PAICN FOR
 MISSIONS TONIGHT

Little Rock, April 30.-At midnight tonight campaign instituted by the Southern Baptist churches to raise approximately $900,000 for home and foreign missions will come to an end. Arkansas Baptists undertook to raise $2S,o00 Of this amount and tonight when the fiscal year for the Home Missions Boards of the church in the s,uth rt 'nes to an end the story will have been told.
 When seen at his office last night, Rev. J. $. Rogers, secretary of the Baptist Mission Board of Arkansas, said that up to s o'clock only $1l, ,53O of the $28,000 had been received at his office. He said, however, that he expected about that much more today.
 "OVer all the state during the past two months the Baptist people have had missions preached to them and the campaign has been waged with energy. The churches that have for warded their offerings and those which have taken subscriptions have, with few exceptions, broken all pre- 7ious records. We are still hoping to get in enough to make our full quota, but it will take some hard work throughout the state."

Violet Shower Latest Cult

MANY hostesses are on the outlook
for suggestions for novel and un-
usual showers for the Easter and spring
brides. Here is an idea that is worth
while passing along:
Every girl has a favorite color. and a
novel way TO entertain for a spring
bride is to have a shower Of things of
this color. just as an original hostessis
planning for chum Of hers who is an
Easter bride and whose favorite color
is lavender.
The invitations are to be issued in
the form of informal little notes TO the
brides friends asking them TO a VIC
let shower" In the notes she will ex-
plain TO them that they might bring
anything they wished provided it was
in some shade of violet She viii also
ask her friends 10 send their offerings
the day before the shower.
In the little room TO be set aside for
the shower is to be hung from the cell
ing a parasol made of violet paper, and
hanging from this are to be numerous
streamers OF violet ribbon. When all
the guests assemble the bride is to be
told to pull the streamers one by one.
Attached to the end of each ribbon will
be dainty packages done up in white
tissue paper tied with lavender ribbon
containing the gifts.
All manner of dainty things. such as
a bride only would ppreciate-sachets,
tiny white aprons run with violet rib
bon. lavender handkerchief case and
many other gifts.

ready TO wear suits are being turned
out nowadays with so much chic and
style that II is difficult to distinguish
them from the custom made costume
In a modest trousseau two OF these
tailored suits are sufficient; one will
be the little trotting affair that is the
most useful gown a woman can own
and the other costume Of a more or less
dressy character suitable for calling
church and receptions.
For the trotting suit there Il an at
tractive list OF materials this spring
from which TO choose Fine black and
white striped effects in unfinished
worsteds are much liked by Parisians
this season. Indeed, black and white
combinations Of all kinds are on fash
ions favored list Blue woolens are
very good style. and. after all. nothing
is smarter in suitings than this ma
terlal and coloring. The very wide
diagonal so much in vogue last season
has outworn its popularity. Hopsack-
ing weaves appear in a wide range of
attractive colorings and make an ex-
cellent choice for the street suit.
The more elaborate tailor made will
be extremely chic if built UP in one of
the gray materials of the season. gray
colorings being at the very top notch
of fashionable favor this spring. The
tones run from the softest and lightest
to the dark smoke and iron gray
shades, and there are many delightful
mixtures in between whose plainness
is broken by soft dashes OF white or
lighter gray, with chiffon or net max
ing the greater part of the bodice, per-
haps a touch OF vivid color TO relieve
the somberness of the gray tone. We
are in the throes of another epoch OF
color-the moyen age and Byzantine
influence. We like vividness, and If
we cannot have it as an entire costume
we put splashes of it all over our
selves, so you win be right up to date
to have a suggestion of orientalism on
the bodice of your smartest tailored
gown.
The skirt on this dressy model win
be rather tight, clinging and trailing,
and the coat. If of the latest Partisan
cry, will have pointed tails that reach
