Improvement in Price of Silver.

Improvement in Price of Silver.
Silver quotations increased one
fourth Of cent yesterday. For some
time the price has been close to rs
cents. One of the reasons given for
the increased price is to be found in
the fact that India has purchased
l23,5O0,0oO ounces. This money is
coined into rupees and the money is
turned into channels of trade.

THE GREAT SECRET"

In reviewing "The Great Secret Metros new serial in 15 installments, which will be shown at the Grand beginning Friday night, the New York Evening Journal says: From whatever direction the wind of photo play popularity has blown it has proven beyond peradventure of q doubt that The Great Secret" Me- tro's new serial, with Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne as stars, IS the greatest screen novel Of the century and has established a high-water mark in motion picture excellence. "The Great Secret" fur nishes the first opportunity for these popular screen favorites in serial drama. For the first time in his re- markable career, MT. Bushman acts a variety of roles. He is seen as a wealthy man-about-town, trained athlete, an East Side tough, long shoreman and a Chinaman. This IS similarly true of Miss Bayne. who, as Beverly Clarks, gives the finest l erformance of her screen career.

ONCE REPRESENTATIVE.
 NOW A BOOTBLACK
Negro Whom Jefferson County Sent to Legislature Now Shines Shoes
 of SOlons.

Little Rock, Feb. -c-Water had sought its level. One of the boot blacks of the house of representa- tives, P. H. Booth, was a member of the general assembly in 1893, the last session in which there were ne- gro representatives.
 He was one of the three represen- tatives from Jefferson county that year. His colleagues were Howard Mckay, a negro, and J. T. Rogers, white. The other negroes in this session were N. E. Edwards of Chi cot; and J. H. Carr of Phillips, in the house; and George W. Bell of the fifteenth district, which was com posed of Desha and Chicot counties.
 When asked if he made good rep resentative last week, Booth re- piled: Well, they tell me I did the best could" and, he added, T didn't make any mistakes" Booths home is in Pine Bluff, though he has re- sided considerable of his lifetime in Searcy. He is we'll remembered by Jim Higgins, hereditary clerk of the house of representatives, who was present in the 1893 session, that be- ing the start of his legislative ca reer. Booth is a native of Ken lucky, and is 67 years old.
 l Bootblacks are not luxury pro. vided by the state, but the members { of the house and senate patronizt them well, and from year to year protect the same old negroes, none others being permitted to ply theil trade and gather dimes in the cloak rooms. The bootblack of the senate is another George Washington. H' claims to be over 100 years of age and plainly remembers the nigh "when the stars fell" He has no' been on the job this session, though he occasionally hobbies out to th' capitol to intimate to his friend that he could use few poke chops.

AN ATTAINABLE IDEAL
ss.-ss:ssss'ss-s-s-:-s..:.-::-::-::-::-:..

What would it be worth to Conway If 1t could win the reputation of be- ing the most healthful, the most san- ltary city in the state? How much would 1t add to value of property here If it could truthfully be said that Conway was f1yless and mosouito- less town and absolutely free from malaria and typhoid?
 The talk of Dr. C. W. Garrison be- fore the Conway Commercial Club Tuesday night was inspiring in that 1t pointed out the possibility of at taining this ideal condition. It is not only possible, but is is practicable and comparatively inexpensive.
 1t would be necessary that sewer connections be required wherever sewers are available-and they are available in three-fourths of the ter risory of the city-and where sewer connections are impossible that sani- tary dry cloests be constructed and maintained according to specifications of the United States health authori ties. It would be necessary that all barnyard manure and all droppings on the streets be taken up daily and stored where they would not be &C., cessihie to flies. It would be neces- sary that all ditehes and drains be kept free from stagnant water and all other breeding places for mos quitoes be eliminated. Already we are making regular monthly analyses of our city water and up to this time 1t has always been found free from pathogenic organisms, so that our water supply-except that of those who are still drinking from wells-is reasonably safe. A few other police regulations, an important one of which would be systematic inspec- tion of milk supply, would be nee essary.
 Of the greatest importance, how ever,' is the rigid and impartial en- forcement of all these sanitary reg. ulations. The council may legislate, but unless it's laws are observed they will be worthless. One man may keep his premises in a perfect state of sanitation, but it will do him little good if his next-door neighbor is maintaining foul breeding place fol mosquitoes, flies and disease. Per haps the most practicable plan would be for the city to employ for his en, tire time competent sanitary of feer whose duty would be to make g systematic and thorough inspection at regular intervals of every residence and business lot, barn, closet, ditch and alley in the city, and who would be required to make detailed reports

 Here Is an ideal that is attainable.

SUFFRAGE PLAN IDEA
 OF NEWSPAPER WRITER
Gazette Reporter the Real Father of Move to Permit Women to Vote
 in Primaries.

Little Rock, Feb. Elf women gain partial suffrage in Arkansas in this session of the legislature, Earl l.. Plowman, Gazette reporter, will deserve as much credit as the au- thor of the bill which passes, though It IS doubtful if 1t will be accorded nm. Someone down in Texas dis covered that the constitution of that state, which is practically the same as was that of Arkansas until the initiative and referendum began to work upon it, did not prevent women voting Tn the primaries. A bill was introduced in the Texas legislature to extend suffrage to the women in primary elections, and Plowman read the story With the true newspaper instinct, Plowman started out to see If there was not story of the same kind possible in Arkansas. He met another newspaper man and asked him what chance there would be to get the bill introduced in the Ark i ansas legislature. Plowman is no SNA-' " SAoes bdI iiE saw good story for his paper and wanted it. The compatriot was we'll advised on the policies of the different legislators, and knowing that Representative John Riggs, another newspaper man, was an ardent advocate of "Votes for Women," Plowman was sent on quiet hunt for Riggs. The fol. lowing morning the Gazette contain ed a first page story about the pos abilities of bill that would extend suffrage to women.
 Just as rapidly as he could get le- gal advice and the bill drawn. Rep. resentative Riggs presented the bill to the house, and when it comes to a fight on the floor, or pulling wires under the cover, Riggs is an artist and his bill passed the house in 2 very few days by tremendous ma. jority. Mir Riggs was almost hob sonized by the suffrage lobby, but he survived and continued to smile, anc his bill was transmitted to the sen ate.
 Senator Garrett of Okolona intro duced somewhat similar measur, in the senate several days later, but it is still pending there.
