STATE CAPITOL NEWS

Governor Hammond has come out
flat for the adoption of the old Eber-
hart efficiency and economy bill either
in part or in whole and the executive
stand is anything but satisfying to
those who made the fight against it in
the legislature last winter. The only
way they can figure the governor out
is that he wants to be consistent.
While the old bill had considerable
merit the upheaval it's adoption would
have caused deferred many from sup
porting it and this feeling still exists.
In state capitol circles it is generally
agreed, and such is supported by past
history that any bill covering so vast
territory as the old efficiency and
economy bill can never get by. Be
cause of this fact many of the new
committee have suggested number
of bills instead of one and this is
what will likely be done. Representa-
tive Spooner of Morris, however,
wants real reorganization of the
state government and as q member of
the committee he will insist on such.

Speaking of the cid" Magnus Mar
tinson, the anti-saloon worker who
was largely responsible for the pas
sage of the county option law by the
last legislature, is now combining his
attention to Washington, where he
seems to be some pumpkins with the
Indian department. It is said that
Martinson was largely responsible for
the applying Of the Indian treaty slid''
to Chisholm and Hibbing.

THE FORD REFUSED TO RAMBLE
Mayor and Druggist Fail in Attempt
to Make Trip to Home School
Farmer to the Rescue.

Mayor McGibbon and Charlie Fies-
Ter, both of whom have so many
knightly acts of gallantry chalked up
on their states that Sir Walter Raj
eigh is buried deep in the discard, are
sadly commiserating and striving
hard to outlive the embarrassment
which nearly smothered them both
Wednesday, when a brother act OF
genteel compartment went miserably
askew. Incidentally, Fritz Minette's
star of gallantry has risen preceptibly
over the horizon.
AS is we'll known, the gallant mayor
owns a Ford car. 1t was near the
noon hour and the mayor was pre-
pairing to drive to his home in Brook
lyn. AS he was about to start on the
journey he met on the streets the
Misses Mahoney and Belyea, of the
State Home School faculty. Calamity
he offered to drive them out to the
School. The ladies accepted the invi-
tation.

MELRosE HAS A NEW MAYOR
DIR. Campbell Retires After Years of
Service-Casper Schooner is
His Successor.

Melrose had red-hot city election
on Tuesday. For the first time since
the town was established the office
of mayor was the bone of contention.
DIR. Campbell had been the executive
head of the city for period of 20
or more years, but positively refused
to allow his name to be used this
year. Casper Schooner was selected
mayor over 81. ]. Emmel by vote OF
265 to 81. The new board of alder

BERTHoLD DRAWING IS TO-DAY

The many residentssof Sank Centre

at various times during the month to

with interest the results of the draw

he had simply killed his engine. He
c1anked and cranked but not a chug
was forthcoming. He raised the hood
and tinkered with the engine. He
cranked some more and then measured
his gas supply. There was plenty of
fuel. The mayor cranked again and
again. All the time the teachers were
waiting. The mayor toiled nobly but
to no avail, despite all kinds of friend
ly advice from the curbstones. The
Ford would not bulge.
Gallant Knight Fiesler saw the pre-
dicament of the mayor and came to
the rescue. He would take the teach
ers home in bis car. The mayor gal
lantly thanked his brother knight and
the young women esconded them
selves in the tonneau Of the Fiesle,
chariot. Knight Fiesler took a firm
grip of the wheel and was about to
turn on the juice when there was a
report like the explosion Of Accent
metre gun and portion of a front
tire was torn into shreds. Just plain
blowout.
Knight Fiesler said it would take
only a moment to repair the damage
but to his dismay found the tire froz-
en- to the rim and job of consider
able length OF time on his hands. In
the meantime Knight McGibbon was
running circles around his Ford, try
ing to get some action out of it but
the machine refused to give out even
a purr.
Enter Fritz Minette. Unconscious
of what he was running into he pulled
up in front of the Dicks market.

fore he could get out of the car. Nc

Big treat OFFERED
TO THEATREGOERS
WILLARD GORTON APPEARS ON
TUESDAY AS SECOND LY-
CEUM ATTRACTION
ENTERTAINMENTS DESERVING
PRICES ARE EXTREMELY Low
GUARANTEE SECURES EN-
GAGEMENTS

Local tnedCreSOeTS are OIIeEeu d
rare treat next Tuesday night at the
Caughren when Willard Gorton will
appear as the second attraction in the
Lyceum course made available to
Sank Centreites through a financial
guarantee given by twenty business
men who are as well lovers of the
more refined in dramatic art. Upon
the patronage bestowed on the course
this winter, which comprises four
more high class entertainments, will
depend whether Sank Centre will be
continued on the Midland Lyceum
Bureau circuit, which furnishes at
fractions for cities big and small the
country over.
If the Mendelssohn Ladies Quartet
can be taken as criterion of the at
fractions that are to come, this sea-
sons course will be the best set of
attractions ever brought to the city.
For the remaining four attractions
on the course the price of season tick
cts has been placed at one dollar.
Tickets may be purchased at the
Caughren. For individual tickets for
next Tuesday night the price will be
35 cents. A charge of ten cents ex-
ira will be made on both season and
individual tickets for reserved seats.
The bringing here of this series of
high class attractions is big under
taking and the entertainments of such
high calibre that they are worthy of
support.
Willard Gorton is deserving of a
packed house. The name of this dis
tinguished entertainer is familiar to
thousands of lyceum patrons in near
ly every state of the union where for
many years he has been appearing
before representative audiences in an
entertainment so unique and original
as to place it in a class by itself. Pre-
senting as he does a program of
widely different features he is able to
delight people of all tastes and sta
tions, in life, employing at the same
time material that is entirely whole
some. His program includes readings,
stories, anecdotes, making pictures
with torn pieces of cloth, costumed
characterizations, crayon and char
coal pictures, approximations of fam
GUS men and ideal characters, clay
modelling of comic heads and familiar
faces. .. ~.
Emerson Winters and Alice Stire
Winters will be the attraction ON Dec.
81. Mrs. Winters is noted whistler,
famed especially for her imitation of
birds. Mr.. Winters program consists
of readings both ridiculous and SER
ious, character sketches in costume,
woven into lightning change with
several reels of piano monologues.
Sara Ruth Bates and Company will
be here on Jan. 20. Sara Ruth Bates
has dubbed and laughed her way in
to the hearts of thousands. In her
supporting company are Miss jose
phine Curtis, an extraordinary violin
list, and Septimus E. Barbour, who is
possessed of splendid voice. The
trio will also put on sketch.
DR.. L. Herbert will conclude the
course on Feb. IA. He is one of the
ablest lecturers on the American plat
form. His acquaintance with men
and things is wide and whatever sub
ject he chooses to select will be in
teresting and instructive.

A SERIOUS CUTTING SCRAPE

Ed Brown, who is 20 or 2l
years of age, was arrested eight
miles East of Prescott for cut
ting Fred Jones in three places,
side, back and abdomen. We
were told at 2 y. m. Monday
there was no chance for him to
recover.
Ed Brown is a tall, gangling
youth and has not had much of
an education, as is shown by his
talk to us. He says that there
had been no drinks or no fuss
previous to this trouble; and in
fact, that is all we could find out
about this affair.
Dan Brown, his brother, II or
18 years of age was arrested on
an old warrant for carrying con-
cealed weapons, and was also
placed in County jail with his
brother.
This carrying of big knives or
guns should be severely dealt
with, and anyone caught in this
offense should have the limit of
the law, And when parents can
not control their boys of this
habit, officers should be sure and
teach them that laws were made
to be carried out and will be
enforced to the full letter.

SERIES OF JOINT
DEBATE POSSIBLE
Secretary Hodges Proposal to
Gubernatorial Candidates
Has Good Chance.

Joint debate, which as a Gus
tom has been buried in the state
since 1892, may be revived dur
ing the present gubernatorial
campaign.
Yesterday Secretary of State
Earle w. Hodges, one of the five
candidates, announced he will
endeavor to secure an agree
ment for series of joint debates
from the other candidates. Mr..
Hodges today will write to DR..
c. H. Brough, former State Tre-
asurer John w. Crockett, former
Congressman T. G.. McRae of
Prescott and Judge L. C. Smith
of Dewitt, the other candidates,
asking their views in the matter.
Ii the other candidates are in
favor of joint debates, Mr.. Hod-
ges said, it is probable a confer
ence. to be held in Little Rock
soon, will be arranged to fix the
dates of the debates.
Il am not in favor OF joint
campaign that would last until a
short time before the primary, >
Mr.. Hodges said Yesterday, out
! in view of the fact that there are
seVera, candidates in the race. |
am in favor Of a short series of
joint debates, probably half
dozen, at which the issues of the
campaign would be discussed.
1t would be impossible for me to
engage in a long series, because
do not wish to leave my office
for any considerable length of
time.
Il shall suggest to the other
candidates that the series of de.
bates, if agreed to, be held some
time next month. That would
not interfere with the individual
campaigns. which are expected
to begin early in January, but
would serve to get before the
people the views of each candi-
date upon the matters which are
to be issues in the campaign.
| shau suggest that the debates
be held in the principal cities
and towns in different sections
of the@state. "
Several other candidates have
expressed themselves in favor of
a series of joint debates, and it
is considered probable arrange
ments for a short joint campaign
will be made. The custom of
joint debates in a gubernatorial
race has not been observed in
more than Is years. The last
campaign in which joint debates
figured, according to those ver-
sed in the political history of the
state, was that of 1892. which
resulted in the election of w. M.
Fishback.

A few THINGS
seen ON ROUTE 2

|
But four large turkeys went
some place, and if they did not
attend the circus, the money for
same must have enriched the
treasury of that show.
We found J. C. Lowdermilk in
bed with a severe chill. He
made Your Representative feel
good. He paid up and renewed
his subscription and said that
he could not do without the
Picayune. We hope he is up
and shook the chill instead of
the chill shaking him.
Jessie Chamlee. on last week,
cut quite a cash in his knee with
a hand axe, and was unable to
work for several days.
A. NJ Green, wife, brother
and mother, returned from Tex
as to good old Arkansas. A. M.
has rented a farm, and will 90
to hustling the dirt and will
make it produce. His brother
and mother are going to buy a
farm and settle. They have had
enough of Texas and will, from
now on, be two good citizens of
our good State.
G. V. Luke, one of many pros.
porous farmers with corn in the
crib, potatoes in the bin and lots
of hay, is the proud possessor of
a flock of Plymouth Barred Rock
chickens. They are as fine as
anyone keeps. He raises his
own meat and lives eff of Ms
farm instead of the farm living
off of him. May his kind grow
IN every community.
Joe I. Haynie, one of our big
land holders, also a good sized
family and a merchant, took US
in and kept Your Representative
over night, We enjoyed listen
ing to Mr.. Haynie talk and
laugh, His wife is first class
manager and looks after all
guests and their comforts, and
we are looking forward to the
time we can again place our feet
under his bountiful table and
hear his merry ha, ha, ha.
(. S. Ashcraft, originally az
Indiana man and late of Missouri,
has for past two years, been the
owner of 200 acres of land on
route 2, and is doing very we'll,
as he is beginning to find that
stock, kept and fed, and when
bought young, brings in the
price above the market when
sold. He is a hustler, and you
can bet your cakes, he will make
a go of same.
M. l.. Lavender is prosperous
as he deserves, as he is a work
er, and does not tiust to Luck,
but to muscle and early rising,
His home is one of many; and
he has all the comforts and lots
of the luxuries which himself
and family are entitled to. We
only hope that his tribe may in
crease, for of such are made
good states, counties and citi-
zens.
We called on several school
teachers, and found them cour-
teous. pleasant and willing to
help and by all means at their
command to benefit town and
county. Please don't forget the
paper IS open to you teachers at
any and all times about what
will help you or our schools
Also, don't forget to send in at
each monthly examination the
two highest in per centage of
each scholar under you, for all
of which the Picayune will be
ever grateful.
