Vera Cruz, May 26.-Forty Span
iards on their way here from Mexico

ture to Vera Cruz before a member
of the party made a reconnaissance.
One Spaniard said distorted reports
were reaching Mexico City, where
doubt was expressed that other than
foreigners or Americans would be
safe here.
He appeared surprised to find the
stores open in the outskirts of the
town ard the absence of scenes OF
disorder as the train approached.
He sSid in the capital were a score
of Spanish families who wished to
escape, but feared to venture within
the American lines.

When Washing Silk

Now that silk underwear is worn so
extensively, it behoovos the owner to
see that it is washed properly. When
washing white silk garments soap
should not be rubbed on them; and
pure white soap rather than yellow,
should be used for the suds. Rinse
very thoroughly in cold water after
rubbing in lukewarm suds. Iron with
only a moderately warm iron, and
cover the silk with a piece of muslin
SO that the iron will not come in con-
tact with the silk,

NTCOLEN garments that are care
w lcssly washed, grow hard and
shrink on account of the interlacing OF
the wool fibre. 1t has little projections
like saw-teeth which catch on one an
other. 1t is therefore important to
keep the material well stretched to
keep the fibre from becoming matted.
A washboard should not be used nor
should soap be rubbed on the garment
Water, both for rinsing and washing,
should be warm, and the soap should
be dissolved in it before the immersing
takes place.

CONSIDER ERECTION
 HOME FOR ORPHANS
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows Will Meet in Little Rock Next Week and May Finally
 Decide Question.

When the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows meets in annual ses- sion in Little Rock next week, one of the chief things to be con- sidered will be the erection of an industrial home for the or .phan of Odd Fellows on the Rob- bins farm near, Walnut Rdige. as provided for under the will of the late A. w. Shirey. It is un- |derstood that this question will be finally settled at this meeting of the Grand Lodge and thus re- move it once and for all.
 A. w. Shirey, an aged recluse was assassinated in his store at Mintum. A will was found in his safe left his estate, consisting al- most entirely of land, and val ued at $300,00O to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows to erect a sanitarium at Hot Springs and an industrial home on the Rob- bins farm, a very fine piece of land consisting of 400 acres.
 The Odd Fellows reached a compromise with the heirs of Shirey by which they received 60 per cent of the estate, his wife was given 40 per cent, and the lodge took the remaining 40 per cent. The lodge received property valued at about S100,- |000, but with it went some in- .cumbrances, so that the secret organization will realize only about $65.000 on the deal. AS this includes the 400 acre Rob- bins farm, it is claimed by many connected with the Grand Lodge that it is impossible for the lodge to build both a sanitarium and industrial home, and what is cannot be forced to do so, in as much as the compromise with the heirs, which was sanctioned by the courts, was ir itself a breaking of the will.
 As there are many who are working for the sanitarium at Hot Springs, and others who want an industrial home in the vicinity of Walnut Ridge, the discussion will be interesting, to say the least.

BLOCKING THE FEE MILL.

One of the most perniciOus systems of law enforcement, to have the sanction of the courts and the law is the fee system that controls township and a ma jority of the county office throughout the state.
 There is a growing opposition to the system that must fight it's way against political odds in ev- cry session of the legislature, when various counties attempt to secure immunity from the leech- like process of the fee grabber.
 Justice records all over Arkan- sas are disgraced with entries of fines of lone cent and costs," or "one dollar and costs, ,"-always the costs-for the justice and the constable must be taken care ,of, and petty misdemeanors are their lawful prey.
 From time to time the fee mills are blocked by courageous judges or grand juries, and the time is coming when all Offic CTS will be placed on a salary and justice will be dealt out more justly.
 The county judge of Sebastian county has just given orders that will stop a practice justices have of suspending fines in con sideration of the payment of costs. He has ordered that the practice must be stopped. and that hereafter the constable will be held responsible for all fines wherein defendants have paid costs.
 In Pulaski county Circuit Judge Fulk ordered that jurors shall receive certificates of ser vice only at the end of their ser vice, which will eliminate fees of S1.15 for each certificate issued. With the publicity act in force, such a proAigate dissipation of the peoples taxes would not look well in print.
 Gradually but surely condit- ions are fighting themselves.
 And the fee system is one of the things that must go.-Arll- ansas Progress.

A SPLENDID MEETING
 LAST NIGHT

Lockett Adair, was suffering last night from a severe head ache and was unable to be pres ent at the tabernacle as announc- ed yesterday, to present a special subject. The large audience which had gathered however in spite of the inclement weather. were not disappointed. Mrs. Flowers filled the hour with a splendid sermon on the wailing of David over the sins of his son Absolam and his untimely death. Those who had heard Mrs. Flowers speak, were not surprised at her ability as a speaker and the able manner in which she handled her subject and there were many express sions of appreciation.
 The work of the meeting mov- ed on with it's wonted enthu- slasm and the machinery was in good working order. The song service was very good. MT. Kir- by sang Where is My Wander ing Boy Tonight" the choir join ing in the chorus. A strong ap- peal was also made by him to the unsaved and there were a number of conversions before the service closed and number came forward and gave their hands for prayer.
 The usual prayer meeting ser vices and young peoples and business mems meeting will be held as announced. It was an- nounced last night that the busi- ness mems meetings and dis trict prayer meetings will be dis continued after today.
 Lockett Adair has recovered and will be able to fill the pull pit tonight.
