I. E. IUCEY, U. D. C..
 BENEFIT. HERE MAY 4

Thomas Elmore Lucey, the versatile poet, actor and singing humorist, will give an evenings entertainment in the Conway high school auditorium Thursday, May 4, at S:30 p. m., for the benefit of the U. D. c. monument fund.
 MT. Lucey's evenings are of such a unique character that no printed pro- gram can exactly do them justice; they must be seen and heard to be fully appreciated. It is not only the wholesome philosophy, effervescent humor and epigrammatic satire that sparkles throughout "A Night in a Poets Workshop and "Evening of Song, Sketch and Story" but his pe- culiarly attractive personality, that has made his platform and literary work stand.
 The program is made up of original and selected songs, stories, readings and crayon monologs. Among other favortes he sings and illustrates sim ultaneously "The Holy City" (Ad- ams), "In Old Madrid" (Mattei) ], "Calvery" (Rodney), "Gethsemane" (Lucey). Several spicy humorous character songs will also be render ed, including his original hit, "The Way They Do It Now"
 The protean portrayals are many and varied, notably among them being likenesses of Poe, Riley, Cough, Kip ling and Bill Nye, with recitations and speeches from each, presented in full makeup"
 The admission will be 9 cents for children, 35 cents for students and general admission and 50 cents for re- served seats. d8t

This has greatly elated the Republicans, who feared the Arkan- sas representatives in senate and con gress would make a strenuous fight to prevent the appointment of a Repub- lican to fill the position, and keep the appointment from being confirmed, in an effort to get the place for Demo crat.

IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT MEAS. URE DRAFTED BY LOCAL

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, May 2.-The house this morning passed the senate bill by Sen ator A. c. Martin, providing for the annual readjustment of assessments in improvement districts in cities and towns. The bill was reported favora- ply by the house committee on cities and towns Saturday and was made a special order for today. When it came up this morning, Representa- tive Hurst made an effort to have the city of Fayetteville exempted from it's provisions, but the bill was passed without amendment. Having passed both houses, it will become a law as soon as it receives the governors sig nature.
The log cabin Democrat., 1911-05-02

The bill referred to in the above dispatch is of special interest to Con- way property owners, as it was draft ed especially to meet conditions in this city. When the assessment of benefits in the Conway waterworks district was completed it was found that several errors and incorrect as sessments had been made, but under the old law, it was considered doubt ful whether these could ever be ad- justed during the life of the district as the statutes provided only for rais- ing the assessment of property en- hanced in value by reason of improve ments placed thereon. City Attorney R. w. Robins drafted the measure which has just passed the house, pro- viding that all increased assessments by reason of improvements may be used in reducing erroneous assess ments or assessments on property that may have deprecated in value the board of assessors of the improve ment district to hold annual meetings for this purpose. The bill is one of the few general laws passed by the present legislature and applies to all cities and towns in Arkansas.
