Mrs. Dave Jones was born in Hot Spring Co.,, Ark, Nov. 26, 1874. Her maiden name was Hoffman. She married MT. Dave Jones in 1899. To this union God gave eleven children, all of whom are now living. She was converted when but youth and joined the Christian church, later in life she identified herself with the Metho- dist church. She was kind, patient, affectionate mother. Her children had the utmost respect for her. The doors of her home always stood ajar for the servants of God, who called there. They were honored guests at her table. She had scores of friends. Her husband, children and friends will long feel the impressions of hand that has vanished and hear the kind voice of one that lies silent in the grave. After a continued siege of suffering and pain she was called to rest, June 25, 1917. Her remains wer placed in the old family cemetery in Magnet Cove.
 Her Pastor,

MUSICAL ART SOCIETY
 SCORES ANOTHER HIT

The musicale given by the Musical Art Society was certainly one of the finest productions of this kind ever rendered in our city. A small but representative audience was assembled to enjoy the rare treat.
 Tn vocal numbers were beautifully given, showing we'll what persistent practice and able training may accom- plish.
 A violin number rendered by Miss Flora May Bridewell was apprecia- lively heard as are all of Miss Bride wells selections.
 Miss Marjorie sumpter's readings were enthusiastically received.
 Mrs. J. Colburn Miller's voice was at it's best and in her solo numbers as well as in her chorus work she was rewarded for her earnest endeavors by the assurance given her of the ap- preciation of her hearers.
 With such talent as is exhibited by the members of this organization and the zeal with which they apply them- selves, Malvern should become one of the music centers of our state.
 Music lovers should never allow themselves to- miss any performances given by this enthusiastic, we'll trained body.

LOCAL EXEMPTION BOARD GIVES REGISTRATION NUMBERS


 The Exemption Board for Hot Spring county, composed of Claud Mann. J. E. Stanley and Dr. J. w. Williams, have completed the task of assigning numbers to those register ing in this county. The cards were sent to the Adjutant General,at Little Rock today. The numbers given by the Board will be the ones the men will be drafted by.
 A complete list of those registering and the numbers assigned by the Board, will be published in Mondays Record, and also in next weeks Times Journal.

WILL SOON MAKE
 DRAFT SELECTION
Drawing Will Probably Take Place Next Week. Local Exemption
 Boards>are Completing Their Work.

Washington, July 6.-Selection day for the new National Army is ap- preaching rapidly as the local exemp- tion boards in the various states con- plete their organization, give serial numbers to the registration cards and forward certified copies to Provost Marshal General Chowder. Indica- tions are that the drawing will be held next week.
 Administration officials still main tain silence as to the method to be followed With the recent statement by Secretary Baker that the drawing will be held in Washington, however, coupled with the stress laid upon the general outline of the plan is indi- eated.
 It is reported that it is proposed to place in a single jury wheel in Washington one complete set of num- bers. When a number is taken from the wheel the man in each exemption district whose card bears that serial number will be drafted. Thus, as each number is drawn, approximately 30,000 men will be drafted, or one in each district. If 10000 men are to be called before the exemption boards in the first selection, which seems highly probable, only 40 numbers would be drawn.
 Many complications will arise, how ever, and the method of solving will be known only when the administra- ton announces it's plan. For instance, the number of registered individuals in each district who are liable for military service, will certainly not be the same. Aliens are registered, but not liable for duty.
 All this must be considered in framing the regulations. Provision 
 must be made also to balance, so far 1 as possible, the chances of military duty between the men in each district so that disqualification of a large num- Der in any particular district for any reason will not put upon the qualified men additional likelihood of being sent to the front.
 Various ways of accomplishing thi, correction of chances so as to make the resulting draft as fair as human ingenuity can contrive, have been sug-
 gested. President Wilson has con-
 sidered the matter in fulfillment ot his promise that the method employed i would be just in every respect.

Conditions may change. There is possibility that order may come out Of the governmental chaos but there is nothing today to indicate it's ap- proach.

At the special meeting of the city council held last night, that body voted to enter into the contract with the Treadwell Company to furnish electricity to the city 10 be distribut- ed by them for power and lighting purposes at one half the present rate charged, and also to buy from Hen ry Shattuck the Mann property on the water front adjoining the city dock to furnish landing space and floats for fishing boats and cannery tenders.

The contract provided that the Treadwell Company will furnish all the current the city desires to retail for light, power heating and cooking purpos- es to anyone withing the city limits for the next ten years at cost or two cents per kilowat hour ! Considerable discussion came up )ver the question of turning the con tract over to the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company. providing l it should appear to the Council that it would be to the advantage of the city to do so, the light company to maintain the terms of the contract. J. A. Hellenthal, acting on behalf of the Treadwell Company made writ ten agreement with the Council that any arrangement made between the city and the present light company would be agreeable to the Treadwell Company. This action was taken so as to give the city an out, providing an arrangement could be made to the advantage of the city.
 i Mayor Emery Valentine. who has been making an investigation of cost stated to the Council that the light system could be installed by the city at small cost and that it would pay for itself within a year
 Proposed Rates
 The tentative electric lighting rate to be charged by the city is five cents a kilowat hour for the first 100 used by the customer and foul cents per kilowat hour for all used in excess of that amount. The pres ent rate is 10 cents and 72 cents For power it is proposed to charg: cents as against five cents charged by the Alaska Electric Light ant Power Company

FIRE STARTS ON THE 2400- FOOT LEVEL AND 1R1ExpS WITH . .
 RAP1DfTY.

Butte, June 9.-The fire in the specualtor mine, started on the 240O-foot level and communicated quickly to the other galleries cut ting off all escape from the men be- low.
 Dense smoke, which poured from the shaft in great clouds, retarded the rescue work.
 Miners from adjoining properties were ordered from underground as a precautionary measure and they immediately went to the Speculator mine as rescuing gangs, aiding the National Guardsmen who had been called to the scene.
 Because of the smoke danger, the rescuing parties were able to do very little until the arrival of the first aid cars from Red Lodge and Colorado Springs which were sent here at the outbreak of the fire.
 Word of the fire quickly spread and hundreds of people, wives, mothers and children of the miners fiocked to the entrance of the shaft but were finally pushed back 90 as not to hinder the rescue work.
 The scenes are indescribable. --
