Under Strain.

Associated Press Dispatch.
Donaldsville, La., March 13.—Great
excitement prevails here because tele-
phone advices tell of an impending
break in the Arlington levee n'ear Ba
ton Rouge.
Men are being corralled on all the
plantations across the river and hun
dreds of them are being sent on ;
special train to the scene of the trouble.
Should the levee give way, all of
the new river section of this parish
will be flooded.
Arlington is an levee and acknowl
edged to be unsafe.
A break in the levee would flood
valuable sugar lands and interefere
with railroad traffic.
Associated Press Dispatch.
NEW ORLEANS ALARMED.
New Orleans, La., March 13.—While
there is a decrease in the rise of the
river here since yesterday, the serious-
ness of th situation is increased by
the fact that the rainy weather con-
tinues to soften the levees along the
Louisiana line.
Large forces of workmen are busily
engaged placing sacks of sand along
the city front.
AT MEMPHIS.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Memphis, Tenn., March 13.—The
river rose half a foot since yesterday.
At Caruthersville, Mo., this morning
men are working like beavers placing
sacks of sand along the levees.
Many Surmises Made.
HE ONCE ARRESTED M. A. LOW
OF ROCK ISLAND FAME.
Guthrie Capital: There is consider-
able comment current regarding the
wherefore of the senate refusing to
confirm the appointment by the gov-
ernor of J. W. Gould of El Reno as
territorial game warden, since the
general opinion seems to have been
that he has filled the position with
more than unusual fitness.
There are, of course, many surmises
on the subject, but the fact recalls to
mind, says a well known sportsman,
that several months ago Gould caused
the arrest of M. A. Low, the general
attorney for the Rock Island system,
who, it was alleged, was taking out of
the territory game which had been
killed or purchased by him withir
WIFE CUT OUT OF WILL.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Buffalo, N. Y., March 13.—The will
of the late Edwin L. Bitrdick, who was
murdered here February 27, was made
public here today.
He cuts off his wife, whom he was

lahoma, whtch alleged action on 1.:?
part was contrary to the territorial
sized audience at the opera house last
night. From the fact of the meagre
advertising and other attractions in the
city, the audience was not such as the
colonel was entitled to and deserwd.
He was introduced by Judge E. T.
Marsh and v.ciiately upon his intro-
duction, the :tirer captivated the au-
dience and 1:. M it at tiro acme of in-
terest during the entire lecture for over
two hours.
The colonel's delineation of the
primitive characters of East Tennessee
is comme il faut, and, while his change
from the ludicrous to the sublime is
almost instantaneous, yet it is with an
ease and grace that proves him "to
the manor born."
One has to hear and see the colonel
to appreciate his lecture, as his style
is peculiarly his own, and the ase with
which he instantaneously changes
from anecdote in the primitive vernac-
ular to the sublimity of rhetorical
flourishes, proves him the thorough
entertainer.
It is expected that Colonel Faw will
return in the near future,~when he will
certainly be greeted with a much larger
audience.

Wynne, Ark., March 13—Excitement
prevails here over the exposure of an
alleged gang of whitecappers. Eleven
men are under arrest charged with be-
ing members of the gang and impli-
cated in the killing on Monday night
of J. B. Brown of Memphis, who was
here in the interest of a detective

ODD FELLOWS' BANQUET.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Wil-
liam Redder, it was our pleasure to at-
tend the Odd Fellows' banquet last
evening, given to their Rebekah sis-
ters. Those present were from the
two-months old baby, little boys and
girls, the miss, the young lady, the old
maid, to the wife and the gray haired
mother. Most of the Odd Fellows
were "even." Many Rebekahs were
at the well of Mocha and Java Blend.
The only available Isaac was Johnny
Murphy. An examination of his coat
tail would speak volumes, if it did not
belong to a secret order. Did Re-
bekah hold on to it? Echo answers,
Did she?"
The invited guests swelled the crowd
up to where it could be said 'twas
large and appreciative. The Monkey
Monk was happily personated by —
Higgins. The principal amusement
was tripping the light fantastic toe to
the music of the splendid orchestra.
The refreshments were deviled ham
andwiches, pickles, cakes and coffee.
I'lie evening was delightfully spent
ind all went "as merry as a marriage
bell."
Mr. Redder, being master of cere-
monies, said, "Onr plates are short,"
hen a saucy young lady pertly re-
plied, " Ml the plates I ever saw were
round."
'Twas, verily, an evening of enjoy-
ment. A GUEST.

laws. It also brings up the fact that
Gould has been very aggressive in his
warfare against railroad and express
companies for their alleged complicity
in aiding and abetting the shipment of
game from the territory.
It was stated last evening that the
vote on Gould will be considered.
With the exception of Mr. GouTd the
other appointments submitted by the
governor were confirmed by the sen-
ate.
Under the Big Tent.

TAINING LECTURER.
Colonel J. A. Faw delivered his lec-
ture, "Under the Big Tent," to a fair
PRINCESS DIED SUDDENLY.
Assocaited Press Dispatch.
Berlin, March 13—The Princess Ber-
nard of Saxe Weimar died suddenly
Wednesday near Hanover. She was
seized with convulsions while driving
with her husband and expired two
hours later in a wayside cottage.
The princess was of obscure origin.
It was for her that Bernard, the sec-
ond son of the late Prince Hermann of
Saxe Weimar renounced his name and
royal rank two years ago.
Elisha P. Barker, found guilty by
the jury last week of manslaughter in
the first degree, for the killing of Ber-
lau in this county, tried on a change of
venue in Kingfisher, was sentenced to
a term of twenty-five years in t;he Lan-
sing penitentiary, after the usual mo-
tion for a new trial, and in arrest of
judgment had been overruled.
Society was welcomed again last
night to the hospitable home of Col-
onel and Mrs. Charles P. Lincoln, 107
N. Hoff avenue, and enjoyed a rare
treat in the musical program, so ex-
cellently arranged for their pleasure.
The 'evening's en:ev'iir,ment was the
second given at the home of Colonel
anc' Mrs. Lincoln, in honor of the col-
onel's highly cultured daughter, Mrs.
Heustis of Dubuque, Iawa, who is
now a guest at the Lincoln home.
The parlor, library, dining room and
music room were thrown together,
making a good sized concert room, in
which the chairs were so arranged that
every one could see the "stage of ac-
tion." Potted flowers and cut Amer-
ican beauties formed the floral decora-
tions and lent a sweet charm to the oc-
casion.
Colonel Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln and
Mrs. Hettstis welcomed their guests
in the reception hall, where delectable
punch was served, the punch bowl be-
ing presided over by Mrs. F. E. Rick-
ey and Miss Belza Phillips, after which
the guests were escorted to their
chairs by Messrs. Hugh Canon annd
John DeLana.

Mrs. Heutis.
Accompanist, Miss Firmin.
Not often, outside of grand opera,
does one hear the music of the great
masters so gloriously interpreted. The
program contained nine miscellaneous
numbers, twenty-three selections, each
a gem in itself, and, as a whole, a
splendid feast of harmony. From the
first soft, sweet note of the piano, un-
der the skillful touch of Miss Egan to
the grand outburst of song in "Ocean,
Thou Mighty Monster," from the op-
era "Oberon," as rendered by Mrs.
Heustis, there was the keenest enjoy-
ment and appreciation. Su- h music,
S'ifh i-rtists popularize the composi-
tions of the great masters and raise

matter of music.
Mrs. Heustis has a wonderful voice,!
wonderful in tone, volume and range,'
which must be heard to be understood.
A charming feature of Mrs. Heustis'|
singing is her clear enunciation, and j
"lie experiences the unusual delight of!'
| the sen^ of the song—a-, expressed by
the words—as well as the rich, rare |
tones. Nothing could be more glor-
ious than the selection, "Ocean, Thou
Mighty Monster," the portrayaT of
the mighty beat and roar of it; the
terror of its vastness, and then, again,
the happy glint and shimmer of the
sunlight on the waves.
Mr. Brttchmann's rendition of Sellu-
man s "Die Swie Grenadier" was par-
ticularly pleasing, and, while we didn't
understand r word of it (it's German),
the rythm and melody were sweet. Mr.
Bruchmann is one of the few rare sing-
ers who does not "mouth" his words.
Miss Firmin, as accompanist, played
with her usual ecellence and feeling.
At the close of the program, refresh-
ments of slierbert and mixed cakes
were served.
Mrs. Lincoln was further assisted in
intertaining her guests by Misses
Ethel Morrow, Mildred Irwin, Helen
Brown and Belle Fleming.
The invited guests were:
Messrs. and Mesdames C. F. Irwin,
Yeatman, Rev. Hays, H. T. Smith,
