FATE OF ACTUARIAL
 BUREAU AT STAKE
SENATE TAXES UP BILL
HARD FIGHT ANTICIPATED ON MEASURE TO ABOLISH
 BUREAU.

Little Rock, Feb. 8.-The fate of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau will be determined in the Arkansas senate this afternoon, this bill, introduced by Senator Smith of Columbia, to abolish the bureau, being made special or der for consideration at 2 o'clock. This means that no other business will be transacted at this afternoons session, for number of members are cooked and primed for speeches on the sub ject.
 The insurance men of Arkansas have swamped the senate with figures showing where the bureau has reduc- ed the hazard in Arkansas, and con- sequentely lowered the average on rates. In the house the bureau has also been attacked, but the committee which investigated there reported un- favorably upon the bill. In the sen- ate the committee, out of respect to the author, made no recommendation in it's report
 Should the senate decide that it is sufficiently well informed on this sub- ject to proceed without further en- lightenment, and vote is taken in time to adjourn at the regular hour, the judiciary committee will hear ar- guments for and against the repeal of the mine run law, so far as it ap- plies to Johnson and a part of Logan county. A large number of out-of- town people are here to attend this meeting.

DR.. d. c. Main Lectures.

The members of the Woman's Club
had the opportunity of hearing DR..
D. C.. Main of Welaka give his lee
tire last Friday afternoon at st.
Marks, on the needs of the state in
the way of providing institutions for
the feeble-mind and INDECENT. He
drove home the facts of the States
responsibility for these dependent
ones, and at the coming session of the
Legislature the request will come up
for an appropriation to build homes
for them. In this work the women
of the various Clubs are asked to
lend their aid by educating all whom
they come in contact with, in the va
rious ways that are open to women,
in council and in advisory commit
tees. Miss Susie Lee Walton then
followed with a paper on Club La
Dor Laws" touching the needs of
the state. Mrs. Gardner, and Mrs.
NJ. S. Brown then read very inter-
esting papers on compulsory educa-
ton. Hon. w. G. Tilghman was
present and of course was called up
on for remarks. Needless to say
the remarks were forthcoming and,
as usual, serious and comic. He
told of the work he hoped to see
brought to a climax in the coming
legislature. Among the many things
he foretold, using a prophets vision,
was the slow but sure on-coming of
the ballot for women. Common
sense was his own private reason for
wishing that time to come, and his
logic was good; the women of the
Club feel that with a man like Hon.
w. G. Tilghman representing them
that the future looks bright for
something worthy accomplished, not
only along the line of suffrage, but
regarding all needful legislation.
The subject for this afternoons
meeting of the Woman's Club will be

Instructive and Enjoyable.

Last Monday afternoon the men,
bers of the music class of the Wo-
mans Club, met with Mrs. E. L.
Mann when those fortunate enough
to attend were fully repaid for COM
ing, as the hostess had prepared a
very interesting program of Nation
al airs, their origin and subsequent
adoption. Many surprising facts
were brought out in regard to the
manner of the adoption of many of
these airs. For instance, most of
us know now that the hymn we fond
ly call or own, viz, "America," is
English in origin and the tune is
sung in Great Britain as their Ma
tional anthem. Also that Dixie"
was composed in the North and "John
Browns Body" was composed in the
South. "D;xie" bids fair as a pop
ular American favorite, to be the Ma
tional anthem. Mrs. Mann, Misses
Ida Leib and Adair Anderson very
graciously read articles explanatory
of the vario is National songs and
sang the fairs" representing the fol-
lowing countries: America, Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Aus
tria, Japan, Russia, Germany.
Greece, and Spain. At the close of
