STATE IS NEEUINC
MORE DEATH CELLS

Little Rock, Jan. 29.-The legisla-
ture of 1915 will be called upon to
make further provisions for carrying
out the purposes of the electrocution
act. One of the necessary changes
will be the provision for more death
cells at the penitentiary. At present
there are only two cells that can be
used for this purpose, one for white
and one for colored. There are now
three white men in one cell awaiting
their call to the electric chair, and two
negroes in the other cell. There are
probably score of men in the state
under indictment for capital crimes,
and the spring courts will condemn
more men to death than the peniten-
tiary has facilities to accommodate as
contemplated by the electroiutcon act.

At The Theatres
THE COWBOY GIRL"

Along with high power band and
a great waste of gunpowder, The
Cowboy Girl" came to the Grand last
night and was greeted by good
house. The play proved somewhat
disappointing to those who came to
see real western thriller" for the
action proved rather tame in spots.
The william did not betray his villiany
until he smoked Fatima, and then
the audience knew where to place him.

to extremes to defend herself from the
works of her opposite. In all, the
vehicle chosen for the Sampson COM

a good show for the price. An en-
joyable member of the cast was the

LOCAL X. P. LODGE
TAKES ON new LIFE
TEN APPLICATIONS AND THREE
MEMBERS RECEIVED - TO
CELEBRATE FEB. 10.

With the initiation of three new
members into the rank of page and
the receipt of applications from 10
others for admission, Woodland lodge
No. II, Knights of Pythias, took on
new life at last nights meeting and
members believe it will rapidly re-
sumo its place as one of the leading
and most active fraternal orders in
the city. The lodge, until few years
ago, had the largest membership of
any order in Conway and its meetings
were regularly attended by many of
the members. Recently, however, in
terest has been allowed to diminish
and many of the meetings have not
been held for lack of a quorum A
visit last week by Governor Hays and
B. w. Bartlett, grand chancellor and
grand keeper of records and seal of
the order, seems to have aroused the
dormant interest in the lodge, with the
result that 13 applications have al
ready been received. Those initiated
last night were Sol Gem, Adam Har-
ris and John Garrett
Besides the campaign for new men,
bers, the lodge plans to give a big
public celebration of the golden jubi-
lee or fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of Pythianism on February

GRACE BAIRD STOCK co.

The best stock company ever in
Fayetteville" is the comment of the
Fayetteville Daily on the Grace Baird
company, which will open a weeks en-
gagement at the Grand next Monday
night The week of January 10 was
spent by this company at the Ozark
theater in Fayetteville and the Daily
says in part:
An extra large crowd attended the
Ozark last night when the Grace
Baird Company opened a weeks en-
gagement with a four-act comedy
drama entitled, THE Triumph ofsBet-
ty,'' which proceed to be superior to
many high priced attractions. This
clever company surely did credit to
themselves last night, and each men,
Der deserves special mention, though
space does not permit. Miss Baird as
Betty" was exceptionally clever. She
is young, pretty and chuck full of per-
sonality. The wardrobe was exquisite
and correct in every detail And now
comes the big feature, the specialties
eight high-class, far above the aver
age vaudeville specialties- were pre-
sented, in addition to the royalty play.
1t was to be entertained last night
without a single wait between acts,
the performance which lasted two and
a half hours was continuous The ex-
cellent company should play to full
houses every night, and no doubt will,
on account of the reduced prices. 1t
is big two-hour play, nine-piece or
chestra, eight vaudeville acts, special
scenery, all for 10, 20 and 80 cents.
To quote the audience, it is the best
stock company ever in Fayetteville.
