COMING.

DANIEL BOONE ON THE TRAIL
COMING.
Seats only 25, So, so, and 20 cents.
The great pioneer. production,
Daniel Boone on the trail comes to
the Opera House for one performance
Thursday night, November End.
The tribe of real SIOUX Indians
from the great west are worked into
the many exciting scenes of the fam
GUS drama.
A pack of Siberian wolves are also
used in the thrilling romance. Boone
has proven to be one of t1e record
breakers of the past and present sea
son.
The last act of this excellent
drama shows the surrender of Corn
wallis and Washingtons message to
Col. Boone.
After seeing the production OF
Daniel Boone one can safely say it
was real, for the story is true, tae
Indians are real and the wild ami
mails are real.

Referring to Mr. Ernest Juhling' S
trip abroad, We learn that he got
a good start-Was in New York the
night Roosevelt spoke at Carnegie
Hall, and when he applied for a
ticket every seat was taken save a
few on the stage: He had from three
seats back of Roosevelt a great
chance to see and hear him speak,
and as his theme was Recall. the
whole audience rose enmass when in
we'll rounded sentences, from care
fully prepared manuscript, he stood
out boldly for that position. Ernest
shook hands with Theodore, ana was
disappointed in only one thing: his
voice, that voice, he has never
heard in but one man Dave Stokes
has 1t in a double.
Juhling is now on the high seas,
and is, in all human probability
In retirement below, a victim of the
deadly NAL de mer.

COMMA OMITTED
CAUSES TROUBLE
RENDERED ACT DEFECTIVE
ERROR IN BILL FOR
REMOVAL OF SUPREME
COURT TO NEW CAPITOL.

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The omission
of comma and the bankrupt condi-
ton of the state treasury caused all
the trouble. One of the acts passed at
the special session provided an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purpose
of transferring from the old state
house to the enw capitol "the su-
preme court, law library and state
treasurer's office" That is the way
the act reads as it has been printed
but there is no comma in the original
act which makes it read that it is for
the transfer of the supreme court
law library" with no provision for the
supreme court itself.
The wording of the act is undoubt-
eddy faulty, in even more than the
small amount of the appropriation,
and the capital commission finds itself
in a predicament to NEE the evident
purpose of the act with the money in
hand. The steel, burglar-proof vault
| for the state treasury, provided by the
act, will itself cost about $4,000. An
effort will be made to provide make
shifts for the two departments, using
the old equipment until the legislature
can make appropriations for new fur
nishings, and and for the completion
of the building. The basement floor
of the building, which contains as
many and desirable Office sas on the
ground floor, is in an unfinished con-
clifton, and not one of them can be
used.

SCHOOL figures
ARE GRATIFYING

Little Rock, Sept. statistics
have been prepared by the department
of education showing most crafty
ing increase in the length of school
terms in the state. Last year the av-
erage length of the terms, for city
and rural schools, was 1870 days, as
compared with 1865 days for 1910,
and TIA days for the year 1900. In
one year the increase has been week
and a half.
The detailed figures of the average
daily attendance for the last year are
as follows: Whites-male, 1862, fe-
males 93,795, total 18S,447; colored-
males 81 ,672, females 1926, total &C.,
958, aggregate 54,405. This is only
slight increase over the attendance
for the preceding year which WIS
255,135. Last year there were 1852
schools, and a total of 976,382 days
taught in the state.

AUTO TAX TO
YIELD $500

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The state au-
tomobile tax act is yielding a larger
revenue than had been estimated bv
the state officials at first. Only one
thousand tags were ordered, as it was
thought there were not more than
that many cars in the state. That sup
ply has been exhausted, however. and
another supply ordered, the applica-
tons in the meantime accommodating in
the office of the secretary of state.
The licenses are SIS each. 1t has al
ready yielded $4,000, and it is thought
there will be about $1,000 more. There
has been no trouble whatever over the
application of the law, and thece is no
record of any conflict between the
state and city laws anywhere.

County fairs are a good thing, and
many industrious farmers draw hand
some prizes, but that hasn't got any
thing to do with the Electric theater.
You stand chance of drawing nice,
valuable prize there every night, be-
sides, for the price of lone dime you
also see a first-class moving picture
show to boot. The management of
this popular resort expects to put on
some first-class attractions this fall
and all for the price of and 10 cents.
While excavating this morning on
East Oak street for the waterworks
system the big ditching machine
struck an old stump underneath the
ground which had, according to our
oldest citizens, been buried for about
35 years. Strange to say, the stump
was in well-preserved state, having
the appearance of only being under
the ground for a short while. This in
itself is conclusive evidence that the
water pipes being laid by the water
works system will remain sound for
many years to come-perhaps longer
than cast iron pipe would give service.
