 There were suffragettes of every description and color, from equal lighters of the Carrie Nation type and those who ran long on lingerie ana French heels.

 Director Stagg has already sent out several thousand invitations to the principal high schools and prepara- tory institutions in nineteen states. Advance indications point to rec ord-breaking entry list in this final interscholastic classic of the year Last year over seven hundred entries Were received from one hundred and eleven schools.
 Handsome prizes are given the win ners of first, second, third, and fourth places in the track and field events. A splendid banner is given as a school prize to the team winning the greatest number of points. In addition to these a beautiful loving sup is given to the individual athlete scoring the greatest number of points. Appropriate prizes are also given to the winners of first and second places in the singles and doubles of the tennis tournament.
 The university students have always enthusiastically received the ihgh school men who enter the InterscOlar- astc. Many novel plans of entertain ment have been devised to make the stay of every high school man in the city as pleasant as possible. An au- tomobile ride about the city and it's suburbs will be one of the features of the entertainment of the guests. The night before the meet the visit ing athletes will be given the oppor- tunity to Witne3s the annual Inter- class Hop in Bartlett Gymnasium.
 The meet will be followed by a banquet and the presentation of priz- es. The evening will be closed by a dance in the beautiful Reynolds Club house.
 Many of the prep school men will probably remain in Chicago to wit ness the dedication of the William Rainey Harper Memorial Library This building is the finest college library in the country and is just be- ing completed at a cost of nearly $1,o00,0OO.

FEW KICKS ON
 FREE BRIDGE TAX
Farmers Say They Have Been Paying Heavier Ferry Tax Than Free
 Bridge Will Cost Them.

Fort smith, Ark. May 4.-John Ay- CTS, Chief of Police George w. Moss and Henry Kuper, the free bridge assessors for the Southern half Of the district, went to Van Buren this afternoon to sit with the assessors of the Northern half in the hearing of complaints against the work of the assessors. On account of the improve ments made within the district with in twelve months the effect of which was to reduce the rate and thereby call for smaller payments in the case of the majority of the property OWL CTS of this district, there were very few complaints filed with the assess OTIS when they assembled at o'clock this morning. All the homplaints were disposed of before noon, the property owners failing to show that any of the protestants had any real ground for complaint. Appeals can be taken from this decision of the assessors to the bridge commission at it's meeting on June 1, according to notice given in another column
 The session in Van Buren was very short there being only about dozen complaints. This shows the wonder fu change of sentiment toward the bridge in Crawford county Last year the board was literally swamped, but since that time the farmers, who were the principal objectors, have discov- cred that they have been paying a greater ferry tax each year than the bridge amounts to and, naturally, fa- vor the lighter burden, especially when the prospects are so bright for it to be removed within five years.

STOMACH DISTRESS
 AND DYSPEPSIA 60
Hcartburn, Gas and Indigestion Go Five Minutes After Taking
 Papc's Diapepsin.

As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of In- digestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy.
 This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome } sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula, plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Papes Diapep- sin, then you will readily see why 1t makes Indigestion. Sour Stomach, Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes, and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eru'tations of sour undigcsted food, Nausea, Headach-s, Dizziness, Con- stipation and other Stomach disor- ders
 Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dys- pepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the common, everyday cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is case of Nervousness, Gas. tritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer.
 This, no doubt, is serious mis- take. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it fer ments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poison, which putrefy in the digestive tract and intestines, and besides, poison the breath with nauseous odors.
 A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion, and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the Stom- ach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide. to try Pape's Diapepsin.

 At last everything was in readiness, however, and Mrs. Blatch, standing erect in her open barouche, (Mrs. Blatch, though a general, feels more at home behind horse than on top of one) gave the order to charge. In- stantly the long column swung into animation, the band struck up, Hail the Conquering Heroes Come" and the greatest equal rights parade in decades started on it's long march between solid rows of admiring New Workers.
 Battalion by battalion, they swung by the surprised statue of General Washington in the center of the square. Miss Annie Tinker, and her squad of preached and stayless horse women, led the column. Then came Mrs. Belmont and Mrs. Blatch in charge of the Woman's Political Lea gue; Mrs. Plimpton, and her negress- es; Miss Jim, and the Chinese equal fighters; automobiles loaded with out-of-town suffragettes; gorgeous floats loaded with more suffragettes, and banner bearers bearing silk bunt- ing, begging for the right to vote.
 Distribute Dodgers.
 There was also the tallyho filled with distributing suffragettes who manfully showered the waiting throngs with suffrage dodgers ex- tolling the merit of the equal vote. These disseminators of propaganda were particularly busy when the line of march was halted for moment and literally flooded onlookers with their yellow throwaways, despite the fact that the supposed female yearn- CTS for the ballot who lined Fifth avenue, retained their presence of mind perfectly under the lombard ment.

Notables Gather In Georgia City to Attend Annual Reunion of Old Boys
 In Gray.
SHORT LINE OF MARCH
Parade to Be Usual Big Feature Macon People 10 Provide Every
 Comfort.

Macon, May 1.-The advance guard of the United Confederate Veterans, who are to hold their annual reunion in this city May to 9 of next week, made their appearance this morning, the early trains bringing into town William G. Pritchard, Commanderin- chief; E. H. Hyman, general secre- tary; Nathan Bedford Forrest, Adju- tant General and Sandy 1. Figgat, In spector General. The veterans inn mediately repaired to their hotels, where they took up the work of re- visine the programme for the four days reunion.
 Every effort will be made by the citizens of Macon to provide comfort and pleasure to the visitors. Thous- ands of homes will be thrown open to them during their stay in the city, the local Southern patriotic organizations will offer extensive entertainment programmes and the best rooms in all the leading hotels will be- reserved for the old soldiers, none of whom is now less than 65 years of age.
 The influx of veterans will be fur ther augmented by a camp of the Sons of Veterans, and it is expected that the coming meeting will be the largest ever held, for the old soldiers will be largely accompanied by their sons, daughters, friends and relatives.
 The Chief Feature.
 The chief feature of the four day reunion will be ,the parade of the Veterans and their Sons. To obviate the discomfort attendant upon the march, change has been made in the usual programme, which will ren- der the parade more short and more effective
 In speaking of the parade, Com mander-in-chief William G. Pritchard said today.
 "The Veterans are old men-'the average is over 70 and there is none under 65-a change therefore, in the long and arduous march is a greatly to be wished for innovation. With this end in view, we have completed programme that will make the pa rade more effective than ever and cut the distance to be marched nearly in half.
 "It is proposed to line up the vet erans to the right of the reviewing stand. All veteran commands will make their initial formation exactly on their place in line, thus saving any preliminary marching.
 "The marching column, composed of the National Guards, veteran cal vary, mounted as usual and the Sons ! will pass before the veterans and the reviewing general, thus paying honor to the old soldiers.
 "Then veterans will face to the right and by counter march, pass each other and the reviewing general marching a total distance of about 12 blocks.

 The mottled suffrage sisters were freckled, of course, but the tan, brown and pure African belong to a squad of negresses, organized and led by the intrepid Mrs. Albert Plimpton; while the yellow shades adorned marchers from the far off land of China, and were led by Miss Myrtle Jim.
 Cavalcade of Equestriennes.
 These parti-colored advocates of equal suffrage, however, paled to ln- significance besides the doughty MISS Tinker and her cavalcade of eques- triennes, all of whom were mounted upon beautifully caparisoned horses thoughtfully provided with binders. This cavalry squad was comprised or tho flower of New York suffrage and in it's ranks were Miss Inez Mllhol- land. Miss Mabel Lee, the Chinese snffraeist. Mrs. Padding Farnum, the soulntoress: Mrs. William Bracher and Mrs. Richard s. Chisholm. Thelr,s was the only headdress not of the zS oon+ denomination; it was composed of three cornered black straw With +ri-colored cockade in purple, green and white, and cost almost 59 cents.
