Young Man Dead.

Leo Hippo, a young man about twenty years of age died early this morning from pneumonia at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Wood ruff on lower Front street.
 The young man came here some time ago and has been working at one of the factories, and when taken sick was cared for by the Relief Society, at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Woodruff, who were certainly very kind and did all for him their circum- stances would permit.

Low Values Of Assessments. Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, June 7.- The in. vestigation that is being con. ducted by the Arkansas Tax Commission into the assessed and actual values of the state show some startlnig results.
 The farm lands of Benton county, one of the wealthiest counties of the state, are as- sessed at the lowest values in the state being at only frac- ton over IF per cent of the actu- al values. Very rarely a coun- ty assessed over 50 per cent, which is the uniform basis the commission is attempting to se- cure.
 Cross county is assessed at a. bout 63 per cent of it's census value, Monroe county at 43.4 per cent, Perry county at 58 per cent and Poinsett at 49 per cent. These figures show some of the discrepancies which the con- mission is laboring to overcome.
 Conway county lands are as- sessed at 24.4 per cent of the census value, and there are only three or four that appear to be assessed at a smaller per cent age of actual values. In let ter to the assessor of Conway county, the commission says:
 "The census shows for 1910, that 70 per cent of the acreage lands of Conway county is in farms. A farm for census pur- roses was lands held and used in connection with a farm; for ex- ample, if one had a tract of 160 acres with a house thereon and five or ten acres in cultivation, the whole was considered a farm.
 "There being 25O,612 acres at an average value of with the buildings thereon of $18.74 per acre, aggregating in farm val ues $4,698,282. There were as- sessed in 1910 in the county S56, ,723 acres

PRESENTS THE
 RtDDts1 ROSE
Beautiful Fairy Story Fittingly Portrayed by the Little Folks
 To Appreciative Audience.

Io HppIeCldtlVe Au01ence.
 Little Miss Frances Gregg and
 her company of playmates scored
 a tremendous success in the pre-
 sentation of the fantastic, pret- ty little fairy story of the Red
 dest Rose, which was witnessed
 by large audience at the Colo nlal Theater Friday evening.
 For several weeks, under the ca pable direction of Mrs. John
 Stayton, the children have been busily rehearsing. It made a fine game" for them to play and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
 It was very different from the usual thing because it was en- tirely children's play. The writ er, Miss Paxton of Kansas City, met Frances Gregg at Battle Creek, the two became great friends and she gave her the play. The cast of characters and a very great deal of the other details were all selected by Fran ces Gregg. She decided where the proceeds should go and her judgment as to the parts each could take was decidedly good. As the head of them all, the Fairy Queen, she was truly queenly, in bearing, in appear ance and in acting and was an ideal Queen of Fairies" from the top of her glittering crown to the tiny silver shod feet.
 Janet Henry, as the Fairy Princess, was also a dream prin- cess-lovely to look upon. Eliz- abeth Gregg, as Hans, was a splendid little actress. Muffett Martin, as Hilda, Virgil Umsted, as the Stepfather, Sara and Rosa Robertson, as Puff and Poff, Le- ona Campbell, as the baby fairy, Neil Phillips, as MT. Skip, Vir- ginia Blanshard, as Pain, Allen Martin, as Lonesomeness, Tom Harder, as Ridicule, and little Tranchelle Watson, who tumb- led out of the rose garlanded wedding cake, the host of little attendant fairies who danced the dance and attended their lovely queen all heartily enjoyed their part in the play, and the audience enjoyed 1t with them.
 The little fairy story of Hilda's dream, the search for the "Red- dest Rose", is analogous. In our pursuit of happiness we have often to meet pain and lonesome ness, and we find ridicule as diff ficult as did Hans. We do not all have the help of such a lovely queen and princess, nor do we always feel that we have reach ed the end of the rainbow, or recognize it when we do find the reddest rose. The children m the play taught us a lesson in contentment if we would but a. dopt it.

 The teachers for next year have already been elected, and now that Chancellor Kirkland has declined the position, the board will probably take up the queS- ton of the presidency.
