WOULD IMPROVE
 ARKANSAS RIVER
Plum Bayou Levee Board Calls Meet. ing-Federal Aid Will Be asked.

England, Ark, May 23.-President N e. Beakley and Secretary J. T. Lip scomb, of the' Plum Bayou Levee Beard, have issued the following an- ncuncement of a meeting to ask the government to aid in improving the .Arkansas river:
 "At the regular annual meeting of the Plum Bayou Levee District, at PineI Bluff, Ark, it was unanimously resolved that call be issued to all in- ttresis along the Arkansas river to meet at the Hotel Marion in Little Rock June 6, to discuss the best method of obtaining recognition from congress for the improvement of the Arkansas river.
 The Beard has expended five hun- dred thousand dollars protecting 275,- 900 acres of land in Pulaski, Lonoke and Jefferson counties.
 We notice with regret the obncr- mal high water of the Mississippi river, and the amount of suffering to which the citizens are subjected, and while we feel secure from any floods that have ever been in the Arkansas river, we know that the present. con- ditien of ,.he levees must be main- tained at an additional expense to our people, and we feel that it would be far easier for Congress to assist us to do this than to provide a remedy for us after disaster. The Arkansas river is one of the largest in the United States, and we are surprised to see n the allotment for rivers that it is barely meptioned-th appropria- tions going to other streams in all parts. of the country.
 United action on the part of all concerned we feel. certain will bring good results.

HUGHES LEAVES
 SCENE OF KILLING
Arkansas Planter Will Be Transferred From Shelby County yail to
 Jackson.

Memphis, Tenn, May 23-J. J. Hughes, of Haynes, Ark, today spent his last day in the Shelby county pail. Under orders of the supreme court he will go to Jackson tomorrow after noon at six o'clock in charge. of Dep- u.y Sheriff J. c. Kirkpatrick. With the exception of a brief period when he was out on bond, which the su- preme court held was. illegally granted by Judge James Palmer. Hughes has been in jail since July 10. He was held at the police sta- tion for the first few hours after his arrest for the murder of Tommy Do Jan, an ex-jockey, at the Cordova Ho- fel.
 The only possibility that Hughes will again be prisoner in the Ehel- by county Jail is in the event that the supreme court remands the case and boEd is refused.

A DRAMATIC ESCAPE
That of Prince krapotkin in 1876 Probably Unparalleled in
 Prison Annals.

In originality of conception and in- genuity of execution the escape of Prince Krapotkin fro mthe prison of the Nikolaievsk Military Hospital in St. Petersburg in 1876 is probably un- paralleled in prison annals. Twelve conspirators outside the prison took part in it, bu. not che of them was ever arrested or suspected, although many of them were subsequently, bar- ished to Siberia for other political of lenses.
 The escape was made in broad day light, about 5 o'clock in the after noon, in the presence of thrae armed soldiers, and with such novel access sories as cherries. opera-hatS, louse. music, black mare, and micrc- scope. The chances were at least ten to one that it would fail, not withstand'ng the extraordinary in- genuity with which it was planned but every device and stategen worked perfectly. and the liberated prisoner dined that night in Dbnon's restaurant, the most fashionable in St. Petersbug, while the entire po- lice of the capital were ransacking the city in search of fim.
 Nobody even imagined that he would be shrewed and bold enough 10 take his dinner in so public place and not a single detective looked for him there, elthouga search was mads in scores of other places. and every exit from the city was so carefully guarded that a mouse could hardly have crept through uncbserved.

slightly dropping brim, shows what may be called tall shaft of white ostrich which reminds enc of the work of the frost more than anything else. If small fountain were sud. denly clutched by the cold and made solid in the fraction of second we might expect some such white and fragile mass of feathery ends. Against the rich black of velvet in the hat, it makes a superb show, startling and new, but also elegant.
 A bell-shaped hat of sealskin shows bouquet of short full ostrich tips in white. There are just a dozen Of these beauties in the cluster. Nothing could be made more simple, but even so the hat is unsurpassed as a work of milliner's art The shape is per feet and the decoration exactly in har. mony.
 A less pretentious hat of gray felt shows plain fiat collar of velvet and swirl-~of shaded ostrich in which there are glimpses of cerise. The os- trich hbers are long and curled at the ends. Different tones of gray are beautifully combined with cerise, which appears to be yelled by them, Less gray and more cerise appear as the eye climbs the spiral and there is a point of the vivid color at the end. This is. fine model for suit hat.

Nothing is or will be. more beautiful than the full, soft, slightly-curled ostrich plume, known as the French plume, and when one is buying good ostrich, with a view to using it for some time, the French plume Is the best investment. But when one is looking more for novelty than for long service, unequaled deco rations are to be found in tha dis plays of fancy ostrich.
 Besides the new forms, the wreaths and pompons, spirals, crowns and clusters, fancy ostrich gives the man. ufacturer wonderful opportunities in color combinations and in shadings We shall continue to have novelties made of ostrich stock, because of these advantages and because so much stock not otherwise available will work up into effective fancy pieces.
 Three examples are shown here of hats trimmed with fancy ostrich pieces. As rule each piece is com plete trimming for shape and simpli- fies things for the trimmer.

advance, it is still true that 'the second term" Is halrassmsnt and a weakness. From the first day he lsnters inso office the acts of Presi- dent are judged as having some sim ister reference to his own renomina- tion, while appointments are assumed to be cog in a machine to effect his continuance in power.
 If there were ineligibility for re- election, or. as some states provide with respect to the governorship, tr the incumbent may be eligible to serve for only four years in any period of eight years. there would be neither reason nor occasion for dis counteuancing everything President does, and he might be allowed to de- velop whatever policy" an executive may lightfully have, with the advaln- tage of sane and unselfisIa atmos- 'phere both in Congress and in the public press.
