MRS. GIBR WANTS GEMS.
Claims She Did Not Know Her Illus.
 band Disposed of Them.

Little Rock, Ark, July 27.-A re- plevin suit in which prominent Lit- tie Rock people are involved as the principals was inaugurated in the Pu. laski ehancery court today. Mrs. Frank w. Gibb, daughter of the late Gen. R.. c. Newton, filed applica- tion for an injunction to restrain Dr. w. H. Hughes, Dr. w. F. Green and Sheri> B. l.. Roberts from sell ing lot of diamonds said to be in possession of Dr. Hughes and Dr. Green, on the ground that the gems were private and personal property, and that they came into the posses sion of the present holder without her knowledge or consent.
 It is stated that some time ago &C., ton on promissory note executed by r. w. Gibb was taken, with the result that judgment for it's face val ue was secured.
 1t is further stated that lot Of gems were delivered to Dr. Hughes lby MT. Gibb as security for the pay ment of the note. The diamonds we're ordered sold to liquldate the |note. Now Mrs. Gibb files a peti- ton alleging that the gems are hers, and that she did not know they were in the possession of Dr. Green and pr. Hughes.

THE SPEED MANIA.

The campaign inaugurated by Mayor Waters and Chief Leonard against the speed maniacs is one that will meet with approval everywhere. There have been some accidents re- gently. and many near accidents, all of which should be warning sufficient if warning served any purpose.
 Of coarse, no autoist with a speed mania wants to hit or cripple or kill anybody. They do. however, want to beat about just as fast as possible without killing. and they are drawing the line too fine.
 A speed bug runs over some child or some cripple, injures them serious ly, and Is sorry. But the fact that the speed bug is penitent doesn't help the sufferer, nor contribute anything of relief to a person maimed for life.
 Hot Springs invites the sick and af- flicted to her streets, and they come. As hosts we owe an obligation of care to these people. Because of this situation. the responsibility on the mayor and the chief of police is double heavy.
 The enforcement of the city ordin- ances against fast auto riding, or fast driving of any kind, should be carried out to the letter regardless of the parties interested. We have some good roads now, and we are going to have some better ones, and the speed bugs may work there with out any probable damage to other than small stock, and they can pay for any stock injured.
 Put the speed bugs off the streets and make them know that they must stay off unless then can shift to low speed and stay there.

1.-THE Merry Milkmaids. y

1.-THE MERRY MlLKMAIDS" is
the title of an amateur operetta,
which is being put on under the aus
pieces of the First ward choir, directed
by Prof. J. B. Tueller. The mnsic and
thereto is the product of the we'll
known composer. Chas. H. Gabriel, and
typifes true dairy life of youth and
maiden. While it is in places very
comic. almost bordering on the ludi-
crous, it is an altogether pure. chaste,
and wholesome entertainment.
The melodies are classical and of
such order that they can be thoroughly
enjoyed by the most cultured musical
ear, and at the same time they are
within the range of appreciation of all
lovers of music. The choruses, about
sixteen in number, abound in strength
and harmony. The cast which is q
large one is composed entirely of young
people of the city who arc putting forth
their very best efforts to give the pub
lie a very pleasing entertainment
Those failing to witness it will miss
not only an opportunity of driving
away the blues but also a musical
treat.
