Perryville entertained Rising Sun
at surprise party Saturday after
noon, and the guests did not enjoy
themselves one bit, as the host
would not let them do what they
wanted to-make runs Grubb, who
twirled for Rising Sun, had record
of 10 strike outs to his credit, made
on Decoration day, but this record
did not appear to bother the Perry
vile boys much, as when the Rising
Sun pitcher succeeded in locating
the plate the boys from the railroad
town proceeded to hammer the ball,
finally chasing Grubb clear off the
slab, his successor stopping theGbat-
ting streak, but not until the dam
age was done. The score was Perry
vile 10, Rising Sun 2.

$100,000,O0O Work
 On Ships is Ended

London, Aug. 27.-All private shipbuilding yards throughout the country, numbering about twenty are affected by the government order that all work be stopped on warships except those about to be launched. The admiralty yards at Chatham, Davenport and Portsmouth will not stop, however, as they are entirely occupied with the refitting of 27OO steamers which are about to be re- turned to the owners from whom they were requisitioned for war ser vice. Among the war ships being built at private yards are cruisers, destroyers and submarines and the work on some of these may be con- tinued, according to the Mail, if it is found cheaper to complete them than to break them up.
 Shipbuilders must be liberally com- pensated in case where contracts are broken but although several mil lion pounds sterling may be involved it may prove more economical than carrying out the building program.
 The Mail quotes an officer of the admiralty as aying that one sound reason for stopping work on war ships is that the stay will clear the yeards for commercial building. There is an excellent demand for new tonnage and this work will pro- bably absorb the men liberated by the stoppage of work on naval vessels. According to the Glasgow Daily Re- cord, work on forty warships, valued at 25,00O,000 pounds sterling, has been stopped.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

"The Cambric Mask,' starring Alice Joyce will be shown for the last time today at the Orpheo thea tre. Miss Joyce will be seen in a swift-moving mystery romance by Robert w. Chambers. Maurice Cos tello is one of the principal supports of Miss Joyce in this picture.
 The classiest playlet ever offered by a musical comedy stock company in Pine Bluff is "The Proposal of Billy presented at the Orpheo thea tre yesterday by Billings Booths Musical Comedy company. Guy Douglas the bashful football hero who looses his false teeth, made a decided hit with the ladies in the au- dience, many of whom no doubt would have liked to have been in the place of dainty Thelma Booth, who played the part of Beatrice Hilliard Billy's Sweetheart. Miss Valeria Russell, as Billy's motherly sister Mary, certainly did mother him. Jimmy Hahn, in the part of John Hilliard was scream when he also lost his teeth and thereby contri- buted to the general mixup. Drane Wolters provoked numerous laughs in the part of the effeminate Sam Clayton.

Jewelry Peddler is Believed to Have Been Nebraska
 Resident.

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 27.-That the unidentified jewelry peddler, for whose death Rufus King, is charged with murder, may possibly be identi- fled as William F. Ringer, was in dicated in a telegram received today by Attorney General Hopkins from T. o. Ringer of Tilden, Nebraska, and his brother, o. R. Ringer of Wis ner, Nebraska. They announced their intention of attending Kings preliminary hearing at Eskridge to- morrow and expressed their belief that the peddler was their long lost brother.
 The Ringer brothers were located as the result of the finding of deeds to two town lots at Wisner by attor- neys last week, among papers dis covered in the house at Maple Hill formerly occupied by Rufus King. A telegram was immediately sent to the county attorney of Antelope county, Nebraska, requesting that he locate relatives of Ringer. Today the answer came that William F. Ring CT had disappeared about 12 years ago. Ringer was described in the message as peddlef or JeWelfy. lie made jewelry from shells and with gold planted wire, it was stated.
 When the skeleton of the supposed jeweler was found two weeks ago in the yard of livery barn formerly operated by King, watch charm made from a small sea shell and twisted gold wire was found in the grave.
 According to information received from Wisner, the states attorney announced, the father of William F. Ringer, now dead, gave his son deeds to two lots in Wisner. William F. Ringer, left on d tour to sell jewelry and was never heard from again When the father died, money was spent in searching for the son but without success.

Germans Opposed to
 Rebuilding France

Berlin, Aug. 27-A cicular let ter from the leaders of the Sparta GUS party has fallen in the hands of the League for the Protection of German Culture. It says the party opposes the clause in the peace treaty relative to labor by German workmen in the rehabilitation of de- vastated districts in France and Bel gium, saying the pact was "signed by bourgeois with bourgeois, which the party does not recognize" The letters states that the Spartacan or ganization will not send it's laborers to France and declares the manner of transporting workers, their separ- ation from their families and their quarters in barracks is reminiscent of bodily alavery.

the substantial progress attained by
the industry. OF the total shipments
fifty-four cars were billed from Plains,
forty-nine of these being loaded with
hogs and five being straight cattle
shipments. Thirteen cars. comprising
8 cars of hogs and five cars of cattle
