All ten cent admissions at the Dream tonight will get some- thing worth while. Then we have one of those two reel war dramas that delights the heart of the rising generation. G. M. Anderson will be seen in one of his western dramas, and Will liam Wadsworth will be in comedy that is a little out of the ordinary. He has an awful dream. He awakes to find his shoes afire. Tomorrow night we will change programs again. And the show will have a two part Haytian drama, but to night We have a crackerjack bill. The Dream is that house that sets the pace. The house that is just around the corner.

Washington, April 17-Al- though the atmosphere on the Mexican question is much clearer than yesterday, still the matter is a long way from set. tied.

Capt. Warner, of the Ala meda was the successful bid der for the wreck of the Ar meria near Cape Hinchenbrook His bid was for $2,500 and it looks as though he has bar gain if he is able to get out the supplies on board the vessel at the time of he accident.

 Senator Clarke, who followed with an hours speech, was given an oya- tion when he arose.

He was especially severe in his condem- nation of election frauds, and said he proposed to devote some of his time in the future to seeing that changes were made in the election laws that would prevent such things He charg ed that the governors office had been used in the past to control elections in Arkansas but this had to be stop ed.
