Concert Company At High
School Auditorium.
The La Dell Concert Company
which was the last of the Chau
tauqua course, appeared at the
high school auditorium last
night and gave an excellent en
tertainment to a fair sized au
dience only.
The singer, reader and violin
ist were all exceptionally fine,
their numbers being much en
joyed by their hearers.
It is to be regretted that the
course of attractions have not
been patronized more largely,
for the ladies of the School Im
provement Association have
done all in their power to make
a success of the different fea
tures, but whether they hav re
alized anything in the way of
dollars and cents for the school
improvement work, and wheth
er they will make any further
attempt to have another course
next year has not been decided.
Dedicate Batesville Church.
Dr. T. Y. Ramsey, pastor of

Dr. Murrah is an old friend of
Dr. Ramsey, they having been
friends since boyhood, and Dr.
Ramsey is highly pleased that
he is to be with us and formally
dedicate the new church.
Bishop Murrah will preach at
both the morning and evening
services, and a cordial invitation
is extended the people of the
surrounding country, as well as
citizens of Batesville, to at

Will Remove Sign.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 27.—Despite
the over enthusiasm of several
Little Rock boosters the huge
electric sign which hangs across
Main street at the intersection
of Markham, proclaiming to the
world that Little Rock will have
a population of 200,000 in 1920,
must come down. In its place a
sign may be erected to show that
Little Rock has hopes of 100,
000 residents in 1920, but a
stronger claim will not be toler
ated by the city council.
This sign was erected several
months ago, and at the time
members of the council resented
it, they considering the claim to
be absurd. A committee was
appointed by council to deal with
the matter, but nothing was
done for a long time that it was
thought the question had been
dropped. The committee held a
meeting on Tuesday of this week
and council will be asked to ap
prove its recommendation to
take the sign down and replace
it with one of more modest
claims.

Rev. F. M. Smith, West Side,
Batesville, Arkansas, says: “I
suffered for a long time from
backache and my health was
becoming all run down. I had
dizzy spells, my sight blurred
and other symptoms of kidney
trouble were present. I was
fortunate enough to hear of
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they
went immediately to the root
of the trouble, restoring me to
the best of health. I have just
as much praise for Doan’s Kid
ney Pills today, as I did when I
previously recommended them.”

Roth Claim Estate.
Little Rock, Feb. 26.—One of
1 lie most remarkable cases that
has come before the Arkansas
supreme court has just been fil
ed on appeal from the Scott cir
cuit court. Tt. is the case of J ^
M. Evatt, administrator of the (ui
estate of Frank Miller, vs. An
na Mier (or Miller) et al.
Two women, one of whom
claims that the other is her sis
ter, claim to have been the le
gal wives of Frank Miller, and
las such entitled to his estate.
Miller died in Scott county
April 11, 1911.
Tt is set forth in the evidence
that Annie Uher married Frank
| Mier, known in Scott county as
Frank Miller, in Rrazos county,
Texas. February 16, 1885. Af
ter the birth of their first son,
now a party to the suit, her
husband left her. They had
; been married by a Catholic
priest. She was told by her
brother that her husband had
left with her sister, Ludmilla

house. Fifteen years later, says
Anna Miller, her sister, re
| turned, offered to shake hands
with her and give her
money if she would forgive her
for what she had done, but
| she refused to do so. ;Ahna MM
I ler sued for the estate,and it i
was awarded to her and hin
son by the lower court, as there
j was no record that she had
; ever been divorced from Millfer.
She admitted that after Millfer
left her, however, she had lived
with W. W. Cooper, and later
I with Joe Richardson, as a wife,
and has several children by
Cooper.
! Mrs. Ludmilla Miller says that
she does not think Anna Miller
is her sister, who is older than
■she and does not look like her.
She says that she was legally
married to him, but their mar
riage license was burned. They
live at Talihina, Oklahoma, for
i a number of years, and they
