"Rube Wins His First Game.

Making his inaugural appear ance as a Cardinal aginst a Ma tional League team, John Henry Robinson, better known as "Rube" Robinson, Saturday af- ternoon once more endeared him. self to local fans by holding the Chicago Cubs to two runs while his team mates were scoring five.
 The former Pirate twirler made a hit with the Cardinal fans in the spring series against the Browns, but yesterdays per formance is far more import ant, and a continuance of such pitching will mean many victor ies for Huggins' boys the coming summer.
 Chicago never came close to scoring until the ninth inning, at which stage of the contest the Cardinals practically had the game cinched, and Robinson was safe in letting up a little. A sim gle, a double with couple of outs, permitted the Cubs to get their runs in the final inning, but up to this time four hits was the sum total of their bombardment. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Will Shoffner Shot.

Will Shofner was shot through the left shoulder be- tween 8 and 9 o'clock Monday at his home near Shoff- ner, where he was repairing a division fence, over which he had trouble with his brother Charles Shoffner, who is alleged to have opened fire upon him with a 38 calibre revolver at a distance of about fifty yards.
 Will Shoffner was brought to Newport and Dr. Willis probed for and extracted the bullet. It is not thought that the wound will prove serious and friends of the family regret to learn of the trouble.

reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampi- co on April 10 came to a close at 6 o'clock last night, the last hour given by President Wilson for a favorable response from the Mexican dictator. The final word of Huerta to Charge O'Shaughnessy was a refusal to comply unless the United States would guarantee in writing that his salute be returned.
 President Wilson reached Washington this morning from White Sulphur Springs prepar- ing to read a message to Con- gress in joint session as early as could be arranged.
 In the meantime American war fleets are moving down both coasts on their way to Mexican waters to carry out the presi- dents plan for reprisals.
 The crisis thus reached does not mean that there will be for nal declaration of war because the United States could not de- clare war against a government which it does not recognize. President Wilson will seek au- hority, however, to send armed forces into Mexico to seize first the ports of Tampico and Vera Cruz and the railroad trestle leading from Vera Cruz toward Mexico City.

Not Dead Yet; Very Much
 Alive.

ISOullQSu IIlUIo CIldll OIlC0 SlIlCG 1tEt music of the Mems Forward
 Movement broke the silence in the town of Newport. The or
 ganization is a real up-to-date movement among men of the universe. We have the names of broad minded, wide-awake
 men of the age. The influence of the organization has already
 been felt in our city.
 The organization is not by any means a political machine The successful candidates however, are members of the fraternity. While this is strictly religious from foundation to turret, its influence has been felt in the political arena, and is being felt in the campaigns of today for greater and better conditions in the world.
 Yesterday afternoon Dr. E. M. Pipkin of Philadelphia was present and in his usual pleas ing manner addressed the mem bers of the fraternity. Dr. Pip- kin is strictly orthodox in his preaching, logical in his think ing, and abreast of the times in all that he says in his public addresses. A sweet tribute was paid Woodrow Wilson, the eff |ticient and popular president of the United States. He also gave words of high commenda- tion concerning the Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan.
 And so long as we have men of a religious type, and who are advocates and teachers of the
 principles of Christinity we
 need never fear of the stars and stripes ever trailing in the dust 1 of dishonor. The address will long be remembered by all whose privilege 1t was to listen to the didactic teachings of Dr. Pip- kin.
 Next Sabbath afternoon the presiding elder of this district, Dr. Morehead, formerly of Scar cy, Arkansas, will deliver the ad- dress at the usual hour, 3 p. m., in the Methodist church.
 The second Sabbath of May, the world is to celebrate as Mothers Day" Mir. Harry Ponder of Walnut Ridge has al- ready been secured for the hap py occasion. The flower scheme will be the pink and the white carnation. The persons who have mothers in eternity will be designated by the presence of the white flower. And there whose mothers are still living will be designated by the pink flower. The meeting will not in manner interfere with the com mencement sermon and other pre-arranged services in the city. The service will begin promptly at the hour designated 8 D. m. We feel sure that you need no pressing invitation to attend the service mentioned.
 The address will perhaps be on the subject, "The Mothers of Yesterday and Today. The flower scheme will be beautiful ly carried out in the subject as stated above. Mir. Ponder needs no word of introduction to the citizens of Newport. Come to
 hear him and you will have no regrets in later life.

 Washington, D. C., April 2O.- 5 p. m. )-President Wilson this afternoon asked congress to aid him in sustaining the honor of the nation and to keep it's flag unsullied. Of the senate and house assembled in joint session he asked authority to use the armed forces of the United States in Mexico for the purpos- es and to any extent he may find necessary.
 War with Mexico was decried by the President. He declared mo thought of aggression, of self-aggrandizement" was in- volved. He did not speak of a Mexican blockade or interven- tion. He declared this country's quarrel was with General Huer- la alone; not with the Mexican people. But almost every listen CT interpreted his remarks as War. That complete authori- ty to use the armed forces of the United States to force Huerta to respect the nations authority, and it's honor, will be given Pres ident Wilson before six o'clock was the opinion expressed by Senator Shively at the White House this afternoon.

THE FIRST SMALLPOX CASE.

After most fortunately escaping smallpox throughout the winter, one case of this disease has developed in Conway. There is nothing alarming in this fact, as there have frequently in past years been cases at several different places in the city. In view of the fact, however, that smallpox has been epidemic in a number of Ar kansas towns recently, every precau- tion should be taken. A precaution which is 10 times as effective as quar- antine is vaccination Every person who has not been successfully vacci- hated within recent years should adopt this simple and sure means of prevention at once.
 The Log Cabin Democrat also be- lieves it is a mistaken policy to at tempt to conceal from the public knowledge the presence of conta- gious disease. Where efforts are made to suppress the facts the true condi- ton is nearly always greatly exag- gerated. It is very probable that there will be no further cases. But should any develop we desire to assure our readers that this paper will keep them informed of the facts.

SAYS SUPERINTiNDENT'S
 REPORT WAS COMPLETE
JUDGE HOLT SAYS CITY BOOKS SHOULD BE AUDITED BY
 A HOME MAN.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l see so much in your paper of late
 about the city of Conway and its man.
 agement and so much about graft up-
 on the part of it's officers, that I
 thought l would have something to say. In the first place, the statement
 ot MT. Leverett as to the condition of the light plant was full and con- plete and l think the gentleman de-
 serves great deal of credit for his
 falthfulness in the discharging of his duties-and all this talk of graft is
 uncalled for and unjust. I want to
 say that we have all pulled together
 too long for us to think of any division
 at this time. What is to the interest of one is to the interest of the whole people
 So far as the finances of Conway are concerned, in my opinion the of- | ficers have done about what they l thought was right in all matters of business importance. Now, Mr. Ed itor, l believe we should have more confidence in each other and grant that our officers are honest until they are proved otherwise. At one time David prayed the Lord to keep him from presumptuous sin; therefore, we should not presume too much for David regarded 1t very grave sin. One citizen refers to our city council as our 'lords and masters" I regard them as our public servants and to criticise them too severely makes their task the harder for them Another citizen suggested getting someone from out of the city to audit the books. Now, think as long as we have such bookkeepers as Wellington Robbins, Opie Hartje, V. D. Hill, Frank Nor gan, J. F. Jones, George Freeman, Frank Farris, Will Drummer and any number of others I could name, that this would be out of place, as we sure- ly have men at home to carry our troubles to, if troubles there be.
 Let each and every one get in the harness for the good of the town and stop all this talk about graft.

His acting was superb and was so true

His acting was superb and was so true to life that it would be almost impos- sible for one to discriminate between hlm and real negro mammy. He made the hit of the show. Others who deserve special mention are Jack Dougherty as Johnson Grove, Jim Dougherty as Colonel Grove, and Hat tie Dougherty as Sue.
 The house was packed again last night, and from the advance sale of seats for tonight's performance it is evident that the performers will be greeted with a full house. This com pany is one eof the best stock compa- Lies that ever played to a Conway au- Gience, each actor being quite talent ed.
