Captain King said Mr.. Thompson
was appointed largely through the
efforts OF James L. Davenport, Com
missioner of Pensions. whom he claims
promised to support him. and has pre-
pared a statement showing Mr.. Daveh-
ports war record. This statement al
leges that Mr.. Davenport enlisted In
Company B, Fortieth Wisconsin Regi-
ment. which was called the Hundred
Day Regiment. and which never got
within forty miles of the front.
Mr.. Davenport Is also accredited with
the move to bar all clerks more than
sixty-five years old, which would have
thrown every veteran Of the civil war
out of office. This movement. how
ever. was defeated largely by the ef-
forts Of Senator Curtis.
Captain King said that placing tine
whole pension disbursing division in
to one office would be more expensive
than maintaining eighteen Offices. as
has been the custom. He declared

Everybody Likes Music.


From the birth of Adam to
the present day, man has shown
a desire for music, even among
the uncivilized tribes of the
Eastern Hemisphere, they make
weird sounds that seem to have
charms to soothe. We owe most
of our musical education to the
Greeks, according to musical
history: With the advancement
of the world, our musical talents
have also advanced, until today,
small boys are found who can
read music as readily as grown
person of few years ago. Pc
ter Kramer from The House of
David, at Battle Creek, Michi-

his class last year, which speaks
very complimentary of his tai

Dam For Electric Power.

Heber Springs, May &c. - A
delegation of Ohio capitalists,
accompanied U. S. Bratton, post
master of Little Rock and Pres
ident of the Arkansas Public
Service Company, and H. L.
Remmel, and spent several days
in Heber Springs this week.
The object of their visit here
was to negotiate a deal for a
site on Little Red River about
two miles from town to construct
a large dam to furnish electric
power to Heber Springs and
nearby towns and to operate
various industries. Two expert
civil engineers from the East
were in the crowd and showed
the capitalists and promoters
the entire country adjacent to
the proposed dam, submitting a
favorable report on the practi-
cability of constructing a dam
that will furnish approximately
5000 horse power.
While here Mr.. Bratton, as
president of the Arkansas Pub
| lie Service Company Of Little
Rock, secured franchise from
the council of Heber Springs to
establish and operate an cleo
trio light plant for period of

Moonlight On the Rio Grande

Western railroads have for a
long time given lot of attention
to the advertising of the Rocky
Mountains, and the Grand Can
Won of Arizona, but have said
! nothing of the beautiful sights
to be seen along the Rio Grande
river, on the Mexican border.
There, on a moonlight night,
deep down in the canyon, the
sky seems to be painted as if a
huge rainbow with the depth,
comes stiffness except occasion
ally the soft notes from Next
cans guitar; far off on top the
plateau. In this canyon, many
a band of Mexican cattle thieves
have their rendezvous, and
when J. Fred Brady wrote "A
Texas Ranger" he realized the
possibilities of The Rio Grande
for a scene in the play. The
third act is an exact reproduc-
ton of what is told above. Six
big electric lamps being used to
give the coloring to the scene.
The play will be here Friday,

headed kickers who are always
criticising public officials who
are serving without pay, but
here is the situation that de.
mands attention.
The city has spent $4,000 fol
a sewer system, the property
owners have spent several hun.
dred thousand dollars making
their connections and the peo-
pie who have complied with the
law have a right to demand that
the others be compelled to do So
If this ordinance is properly car
lied out, there will be absolutely
no water in any of our bitches,
except rain water, there would
not be a surface closet in town
and we would then be in a posi-
ton to keep our town clean and
sanitary. In addition to the clos
cts that are not connected, there
are many lavatories from Office
buildings running into our gut
ters.
We are spending a great deal
of money in the town now clean
ing up weeds and paving streets.
This work is commendable, but
it is not near as necessary to
cur welfare as improving the
sanitary condition, and if some
of the time and money spent on
this work were used in looking
after this matter it would GER
tainly produce results of more
consequence.
We hope you will accept this
letter IN the spirit IN which 1t is
sent. We feel that we have
given enough Of our time to this
sewer system to be allowed to
speak freely on the matter We
respectfully insist that you take
some action in this matter which
will produce some results.
It took nearly twenty years
agitation to get this sewer sys-
tenn started and now it seems a
shame after we have accomplish
ed it for the officers to neglect
their duty and impair the USE
fulness Of the system.
Very respectfully,
Board of Sewer Commissioners !:
