 HIGH IN LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Feb. 26-There is great deal of interest in Little Rock over the Mexican situation, and number of it's patriotic cit ;,ons would be ready to join 1 n on invasion should such a course bp decided upon by the govern ment. at Washington. The Board of Trade Bulletin says:
 aVe don't know how the citi. ,ons of other sections of the Unit od States feel about the way the way the dirty Mexicans' half civ iized as they are, are acting, but in Arkansas the feeling is decid- edly bitter, and it is time that Irncle Sam $ strong arm was be- ing felt
 It looked good to us to see that husky bunch of fighters gong thru Little Rock yesterday bound for the front. They were from Fort Leayenworth, and t h e r trains stopped here only long enough to water their horses for they were cavalrymen ready for the fray It is time to stop the savages down there, and the United States ought to annex Mexico and be done with it..

SENATE WOUND
 UP FOR SCRAPPING

Little Rock, Feb. 26-Being wound up for scrapping Tuesday afternoon, the Senate went at it hammer and tongs, killing the bill abolishing the State Land of flee, exterminating the bill re- pealing the mine run law, and slaughtering the bill requiring the governor to make his report on appointments by the second Monday in February.
 The Davis of Lafayette bill, de handing that the governor make his board and other appointments and report the same to the Gen. eral Assembly by the second Monday in February, and if it was not done, to permit Secreta- ry of State, Auditor and Attor- ney General to make the appoint ments, was indefinately postpon- ed.
 Next came the Bennett of Poin- sett bill permitting the shipment of fish and game from certain Poinsett county townships, to  market. Objection was raised to this bill, for under it game and fish could be shipped to the Poin, sett townships and then reshipp- ed to market, nullifying all game laws of the state The bill was then indefinately postponed.
 when the Dickinson House bill, abolshing the State Land office was read, Senator Covington raised the point of order that it was a constitutional office and could not be abolished by the leg islature. Senators Lundy, Fut- rell and Carl.Lee argued other wise, saying the office was not among those created when the constitution was formed. Presi- dent Oldham sustained the point of order but declined to accept all responsibility for such a rul- ing, appealing to the Senate for vote. The roll call showed the Senate not inaccord with h Presidents ruling, II to 15. Sen- ator Covington then moved to ta- ble the motion, and Senator Carl Lee made motion to table that made by Senator Covington. The Carl Lee motion failed to b e adopted and the vote was taken on the Covington motion to indef- inately postpone. This carried, 19 to 13.

 The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present This was expressed by vigorous |applause at the beginning and ending of every scene and by many words of encouragement and commendation of the audi ence to the players.
 The young people of the So. clety wish to express to their friends in town their very deep appreciation for the large audi ence, and the mary compliments and kindnesses which have been shown them in this, their first attempt at the interpretation of a great author.
 All the players deserve much credit for acquitting themselves so nobly in this, Shakespear S most classical comedy. Espec. tally does the members of the Society and all those who appre ciate the impersoLating of those characters drawn out by the great writer, owe to Misses Gladys Greeson, Alvearne Gee and Irene Denman, and Messrs. David Butcher and Blake Scott, the tremendous success of the play.
 It is impossible to estimate the gratitude of the Zeniths to Miss Dees who, by her untiring efforts, made possible the ren- dering and success of this annul celebration.
 The spacious hall before the auditorium was decorated with chrysanthemums of Zenith colorS which together with flying streamers of black and old gold signified the true society spirit, which is so abounding in this society.

DEATH OF MRS. Il. r. KRUGER.

with everyone up to 9;15 Sunday
evening when she suddenly expired
The cause of her death was bron.

has been kept on the jump day and
night trying to keep up with the an
tics of electric storms.
This morning with the sun shining
in Tonopah and out a,ross the north
eastern stretch Of desert wall of
water estimated to be ten feet high
came down the channel and drowned
out the pumping plant Of the water
company situated at Rye Patch. fif-
teen miles north of Tonopah. The
station was flooded and the electric
pumps covered with mud and debris.
The flood measured at least 200 feet
wide and the tawny muddy flood con
tinued to pour down the valley for
hours after the pumping station was
placed out of commission
The serious character Of the flood
was not understood until after Man
ager Burnham visited the plant In
response to an emergency call and
after a rapid ride in Ralph Wardle's
motor car On approaching the plant
Burnham found he was marooned and
could not get within earshot Of the
men on the opposite side whom he
tried to advise what to do. He could
not make himself understood above
the noise of the rusing waters and
dispatched Mr. Wardle back to To
nopah to ask the mills to shut down
until the pumps can be dug out and
restored which will be a matter OF
some time 1t is estimated that be-
tween three and four days will be
required before the machinery can
be dried out and the motors cleaned
ready for resumption.
The reservoir contains eleven feet
of water which may last domestic
consumers the remainder Of the week
If they exercise the greatest caution
A good deal of conjecture was in
dulged in as to the source OF the
big flow. but opinion was divided as
to whether it came from Belmont OF
Manhattan The best authorities
were inclined to think the flood came
from the old county seat 35 mile
away as the sky in every direction
was unflecked by clouds. In Tono
pah when the water was reportet
from the pumping station the repor
was received with distrust as th'
weather was ideal and Rye patch
seventeen miles out on the flat r.
: ported a similar condition.
incidentally today brought the frs
installment Of water bills under tn
new schedule with a material reduC
tion in favor of consumers.
