OF the at present recognized White
House social affairs. The wonder is
in the capital whether Mr Wilson. as
has been limited. intends to drop from
the entertainment calendar the four
great seml-public receptions which
have been given every winter in
Washington for years.
In what he is reported TO have said
Mr. Wilson set it forth that he thought
the handshaking receptions which
were in no sense public business at
fairs well might be dispensed with.
Washington says that the four semi
public receptions are in a grea,

these functions sorely

MILITIA COMPANY
 ON LONG MARCH
Captain Clyde Clark Will Head Jonesboro Company On
 Long Tramp.
Special to Independent.

Little Rock, June 3.-The longest march ever taken by a company of the Arkansas mill tia will commence next week when the Jonesboro company, with forty men enlisted, will start for St. Louis. It is expect ed that about three weeks will be required to make the march, as the soldiers will take their time, marching only about fif- teen miles a day with an occas- ional stop for fishing and swim ming in the mountain streams en route.
 Captain Clyde N. Clarke of the Jonesboro company was in Little Rock Monday securing camp equippage and arms for the company. The company will be accompanied by a camp wa gon which will haul the supplies, but rule has been made that none shall ride but the teamster. This does not except the officers.
 As the company will go armed, Captain Clarke has requested, through Gov. Futrell, permission from Gov. Majors of Missouri for the troops to enter that state. This is a request that must be made before an armed company can enter another state, but as the soldiers are on a mis- sion of peace, it will hardly be refused.

Flu trell, today got a further brief lease on life, when his eXecu- ton, set for sunrise this morn ing, was postponed by Sheriff Hog&hoom.
 The sheriff was sure that eX- Sheriff Williams, removed from office several weeks ago for al legged non-feasance, would be stored t"oay by the court and, therefore, did not execute Schu- mann at sunrise.

 Arriving at the grave, Schu- mann threw himself on the mound and prayed earnestly that his wife forgive him and meet him in heaven.
 "Oh, Lula," he cried, meet me in heaven. I will be there in short while. Goodbye, good bye, Lula."
