At THE COLUMBIA.

The feminine heart is overjoyed with
the fashions which are displayed at
MEMO Moore's Style Revue. which is
the feature of the bill for the last half
of the week at the Columbia, Daven-
por. The beautiful garments are shown
on half dozen living models in a
charming manner. Special scenic eG-
fects are used, making the act one of
the most unusual and attractive that
has been offered the patrons of the
popular playhouse this season. In one
scene all Of the varying types of dress
attire from 1892 to 1913 are shown, in
Guiding the Indian, Quaker, Colonial,
hoop skirt, leg omutton sleeves and
the tube skirt. Not only are gowns
from seven Chicago manufa cturers
shown, but Fisk hats as well. Inter
spersed during the number are songs
and dances by George Phelps and
Frances Keepler. 1t is said that Mr..
Moore carries $4,000 insurance on the
wardrobe which is used in presenting
the act so that the value Of the gar
ments displayed can easily be under
stood. The comedy playlet. Youth"
by Mrs Gene Hughes & Co. is one
big laugh. It deals with mother and
daughter getting ready for a visit from
grandmother. for whom old time bed
room slippers and the wheel chair are
brought out. but who proves on arrival
to have no need for either, since she
has been modernized to such an ex-
tent that she shocks her offspring with
her progressive tendencies. Vera
Berlinger has her violin all but sing

FIELDER WANTS PARDON.

Jackson, Miss, June 16.-Although
he has been in the penitentiary but a
few months, movement has been
launched to secure a pardon for A. G..
Fielder, member OF a prominent Amite
county family, sent up to serve a life
term for the murder of his brother.
The petition alleges that the evi
dence on which the youth was con
victed was circumstantial; that no mo
tive was shown for the killing; thai
Fielder had been on the best of terms
with his brother; that since the con-
viction other evidence has been dis
covered that made it practically Ger
tain that Fielder did not kill his broth.
er, and the entire Fielder family be-
lieves in his innocence.
The tragedy occurred at the Fielder
home in Amite county shortly before
the Christmas holidays. Fielder and
his elder brother were sleeping in the
same bed, and the former told what
at first was very convincing story
about battle with robbers during the
night in which his brother was killed
and he received several small wounds.
After A. G. Fielder was sent to a New
Orleans hospital for treatment the au-
thorities reached the conclusion that
the wounds had been self-infiicted.
and that A. G. Fielder was the real
murderer. His arrest and conviction
based chiefly on circumstantial evil
dence. followed. The Supreme Court,
after careful review of the testi-
mony, affirmed the sentence.

ALLEGED DYNAMITER JAILED.

Coffeeville, Miss. June 16.-Martin
Davis, young man of upper Calhoun
county, was placed in Jail at Water
valley on charge of blowing up q
cattle dipping vat in this (Yalobusha)
county on Friday night last. This
was but the last of a series of similar
outrages, number of watts having
been blown up several months ago
but for which no arrest had been
made. Ever since the adoption of the
law providing for the determination OF
cattle ticks in this section there has
been organized opposition to its en-
torcemcnt, many persons refusing to
dip their cattle and others going to the
extreme of dynamting the watts in
their respective neighbOrhoOds.
On Saturday night following the dc
struction of the vat on Friday night

and Dr.. j. a. Barger federal inspector

men as being in a conspiracy to de
stroy all dipping watts and to oppose
