BUTTON FACTORY
CLOSES DOWN.
The Valley Button Company
on Tuesday announced its pur
pose of closing down temporarily,
owing to the dullness of the mar
ket during January and Febru
ary and the weak prices that at
present prevail.
This is a labor-employing in
stitution which is of great com

we hope the shut-down may be
of short duration.

“A GAMBLER’S DAUGHTER.” j
* The scenery used in the pro
duction of the sensational melo-j
drama, “A Gambler’s Daughter”!
which is to be at this theatre
soon, presents some wonderfully
realistic stage pictures of a num- j
ber of famous places which form
a part of the history of this couiv
try, and which people have heard
about and never seen. In the,
second act is a vivid production ;
of the Chicago Board of Trade.
T, • 1 _* _ __ I
It IS a uay U1 panic un cnaugc,.
and fortunes are quickly being
made and lost. In the center of
the frenzied exciting throng of
brokers around the wheat pit,
stands the gambler referred to
in the title of the play. He has
in hand a tremendous wheat deal
which is being smashed and
foiled by some unknown operator
who is dealing through another
broker. The place is a veritable
bedlam in its turmoil. The
gambler (he is termed a gambler
because he secretly owns a mag
nificently fitted up Michigan
avenue gaming house and not
because he is a member of the
Board of Trade) sees his own
plans going to ruin and his
private fortune dwindling away
minute by minute. He is in, an
t almost crazed condition to learn
the apparently giant hand who is
working against him. He does
not know until later that it is his
own daughter, who has familiar
ized herself with Board of Tradt
• methods and is frightening hiit
; to save him from being success
’ ful in accomplishing his dishones
designs.
r This is said to be one of tb
most wildly exciting and intense
v ly dramatic scenes the stag
s has known in many years. I

Attendance of State’s
Educators.
The thirty-sixth annual session
of the Arkansas State Teachers’
Association will convene at Keys ;
Institute Tuesday forenoon and
will be in session for three days.

rapidly in Little Rock, says the
Democrat, the advance guard
having been Profs. J. W. Kuy
kendall and J. H. Reynolds of
the state university, who came
Saturday.
Many others are coming in on
every train and the indications
are that the unusually large at
tendance will fully demonstrate
the wisdom of changing the time
of meeting from the midsummer
season.
Elaborate arrangements have
been made by the local commit
mittees for the reception of the
teachers, and there are ample
accommodations for all.
The convention will open to
morrow forenoon with the county
examiners’ conference, with
Prof. Allen Winham of Miller
county as chairman. The high
school and college section, of
which Prof. J. H. Reynolds is
president, will meet in the after
noon, and several important re
ports will be received and dis
cussed. The welcome addresses
and responses and the president’s
address will be delivered Tuesday
night.
