SEVENTH ANNUAL
STATE CONVENTION.
Lucien C. Gause Chapter Of Daugh
ters of Confederacy Preparing For
State Meeting Here October
22-24th.
While the Lucien C. Gause chapter
of the United Daughters of Confeder
acy was admitted to membership in
the state organization but one year
ago, the chapter was early recognized
and honored in the appointment of
the next state convention to meet in
this city. This action was taken at
the first convention in which the
local chapter was represented by
delegates, and the acceptance of this
first invitation proved a source of
interest and encouragement to the
comparatively young chapter.
That the Arkansas Division of
United Daughters of Confederacy will
also have reason to congratulate
themselves upon the selection of
Newport for their seventh annual
convention is our prediction, based
upon the systematic work which is
now in progress for the reception and
entertainment of the delegates and
the well established reputation of our
people for genuine Southern hospi
tality.
The convention will be opened on
the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 22 at
10 o’clock and the proceedings will be
held in the circuit court room. The
gathering will be called to order by
Mrs. K. M. haird, the local president,
who will also deliver the invocation.
The following program will be ob
served for that day:
Musical selection.
Address of welcome—Mrs. C. H.
Wilmans.
Response on behalf of state organi
zation—Mrs. Clementine Bobs of
Fayetteville.
State president—Mrs. B. E. Benton
assumes chair and delivers annual
address.
Regular order of business.
That evening there will be one or
two addresses by prominent person
ages, together with a musical program,
following which an informal reception
will be tendered the visiting delegates,
presided over by the Lucien C. Gause
chapter. General invitations will be
issued and the managers of this social
affair hope that all citizens of New
port interested in the entertainment
of the guests will be present.
On Thursday evening the “Smart
Set” Club will tender the delegates,
visitors and members of Lucien Gause
chapter a reception, the place of hold
ing which has not yet been deter
mined.
The adjournment of the convention
will probably take place Friday morn
ing and on the afternoon of that day
a drive will be enjoyed by the del
egates and local chapter members to
some point of interest.
Mesdames R. M. Johnson and W.W.
Dutton have been chosen delegates to
the convention by Lucien C. Gause
chapter, with Mrs. C. R. Hite alter
nate. The local committees have also
been appointed, their chairmen being
a8 follows:
Reception—Mrs. R. M. Laird.
Decoration—Mrs. M. J. Lucas.
Badges—Mrs. O. D. Watson.
Music—Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse.
Refreshments—Mrs. R. B. Hooker.
Homes for Visitors—Mrs. W. W.
Dutton.
Program—Mrs. W. A. Billingsley.
Transportation—Mrs. C. H.Wilmans.
PRESIDENT WILL NOT .
VISIT LITTLE ROCK
—
The following letter was received
Tuesday in response to the invitation
to President Roosevelt to visit Little
Rock:
“Dear Sir-Referring to your tel
egram of recent date, I would state
that while the President cor.templates
going to Memphis some time in No
vember, he regrets that owing to the
limited time at his disposal incident to
the opening of Congress in December,
he will be unable to visit your city.
He hopes, however, to be able to give
himself this pleasure at some future
day. With assurances of the Presi
dent’s cordial appreciation of the in
vitation extended to him, believe me,
very truly yours,
“George B. Cortelyou,
Secretary to the President.
PROPERTY OWNER PROTESTS.
Major J. M. Bell Cites Figures Showing
That Property Owners Represent
ing Majority in Value of Real
Property Are Opposed
To Sewerage.
To the Editor of the Independent:
In compliance with your request I
would be pleased to give you my views
of the late sewer question, but it is
now too late to effect much good
thereby, except to call the attention
of real estate owners to the great in
jury that may be inflicted on them.
That question has passed beyond the
control of the city council and beyond
control of the real estate owners, save
by recourse to the courts.
I will, however, gladly correct the
statement made to you, to the effect
that the petitioners for sewers had a
majority in valuation of real property
after omitting the names of the eigh
teen petitioners who had notified the
council so to do.
The facts are as follows, as any one
may see by reference to the minutes
of the city recorder, that'is—
Majority in value on origi
nal petition.$27,715.00
Majority on supplementary
petition. 35,900.00
Majority on both petitions 63,615.00
Petition giving notice of >
withdrawal, including the
Mayor. 67,080.00
Minority on face of petitions $3,465.00
But on the supplement $6,650 is for
life estate of a widow and assets in
hands of executors, which the supreme
court holds cannot be so estimated.
This, however, is a small matter, since
the minority for that measure comes
nearer to $100,000 than $10,000.
I would also correct another false
rumor, which is to the effect that the
city council and improvement board
intend to deal very gently with small
property owners. The main, or sewer
proper, cannot be so constructed as to
favor any property owners, and as to
the connections, which may prove the
ruin of many small property owners,
neither the city council nor the im
provement board has any control.

A BIG CIRCUS IS COMING.
The Great Wallace Show Has An
nounced Its Date For This City.
The Great Wallace Show, so appro
priately styled the “Highest class Cir
cus in the world,” has completed all
arrange would jlux ilb oAmumuu in
Newport on Tuesday, Nov. 4th. The
Wallace Show has been reorganized
this year, and scores of new novelties
and features will be seen for the first
time in this country under the Wallace
tents this season.
The Omaha Bee said: “We have
been reading lately many compliment
ary comments on the greatly increased
size and unquestioned merit of the
newly equipped Great Wallace Shows,
now touring the West, but were agree
ably surprised today, first by the mag
nitude of the show as a whole, as it
came in sections on its elegantly con
structed trains, and again, by its stu
pendous, clean and novel parade. A
show never presented a more gorgeous
pageant. We visited the grounds later
on a business errand, and again met a
surprise. The show is absolutely new
throughout, and covers not only the
entire show lot, but all the streets sur
rounding them. The tents at the af
ternoon performance were packed
with visitors, and the circus program,
for novelty, great features, comedy
and real attractiveness, is far superior
to anothing offered to an Omaha audi
ence for many years, and we have had
all of the so-called big shows.”
The Great Wallace Shows will ex
hibit in Newport, Tuesday, Novem
ber 4.
