Last night Officer Hetter found two
small boys wandering about the streets
crying. He took them to the station
where they gave their names as Otto and
Fred Won Gunden. sged IA and 10 years
respectively. l. Tes learned from tie
boys that they in company with their
father were on their way from Spring
field, Mo-, to Tsma, Wis, where they
have an uncle living. They reached this
city yesterday morning and started north
on the 20" for their destination in Wis
consin, when between this city and Mo
line the father went out on the platform
and got off the train. The boys then got
aft at Moline and walked back to this
city in search of their father, and were
picked up by the officer. The father was
sfterwsrd found by the police and taken
to the arm DRY. where he gave his name
as Daniel Won Gunden, but beyond say
ing that he was a native of Switzerland
nothing could be learned. He undoubt-
eddy demented and will be sent on his
way to Wisconsin this evening.
Officer Hetter found Fred Huber and
Joseph Schultz at the corner of Fifteenth
street and Third avenue with several
others last night, and Huber and Schultz
were apparently fighting. He started to
arrest them to take them to the Armory
but Schulz broke away and ran. he
then attempted to take Huber, but the
latter tried to explain that they were not
fighting but only showing some wrestling
holds, but it didn't satisfy the officer and
he started to take Huber by force. The
latter resisted and the officer stepped
away from him quickly, and drawing
back his club struck him several vicious
blows across the head, body and arms
and then dragged him to the station.
This morning Officer Kramer arrested

of ERADICATION from the common branches

OF eradication from the common branches
of the district school"
Incidental TO this great improvement,
County Superintendent Marshall urged
the adoption of q uniform system of text
DOCKS, and the sentiment was unanimous
that the move be made. Accordingly
each district selected delegate to meet
ing which was held in Rock Island week
ago at Superintendent Marshalfs Office.
While the county superintendent was
earnest and consistent in his advocacy of
the uniform system he made no recon-
mendations as to the text books to be
adopted, and at his request City Superin>
tendent S. 5. Kemble met with the dele
gates who adopted q uniform system Of
text books to be used in the district
schools of the county as follows:
Franklin reader-complete serles.
cons arithmetic two book series
Barnes geography-lwo BOOK series
Language-Pow els show TO Talk"
ReeI " hellogg's Grammar.
The National Speller
Pathfinder series in philosophy.
Stee e's HYGIENE Philosophy.
Now thstlhe standard series is adopted,
Mr.. Msrshsl will make terms with the
publishers so that parents may get the
books Tor their children cheaper than
heretofore, and it is believed that within
two or three years there will be practica
uniformity in text books throughout the
county, although no radical change will
be made at once, but whenever changes
are necessary in the natural course Of
school supervision the standard serie,
will be adopted. The improvement i:
one that cannot be too highly commended
especially when it is taken into consider
alton that there are now in use in tn,
district schools 10 different series O
readers, nine different biographies, L
different arithmetics, six different his
tories, nine different spoilers, nine ply
siologies and 10 grammars

 Searey, the county site of White county, stands pre-eminently at the head of the most progressive little cities in State. A recent visit re- vealed to us evidences oi rapid ad- vancement within the past two years and reasons for believing that still brighter future IS in store for it. This is largely due to the develop ment of her educational institu- tiops, of which she has three. Gal oway, the Methodist female college, located on q beautiful eminence Tn the eastern suburbs. costing about S30,000, Is a magnificent building, supplied with all modern appliances, including steam heating and elec- tric lighting. It contains boarding facihties for 100 pupils, and it's ca pacity in this respect is taxed to the utmost. The faculty, with Rev. Sid ney H. Babcock at the head, IS ex- ceptionally strong. Searcy Male College has just been completed at a cost of $40,000. It is of brick, four stories high. The dormitory and gymnasium are separate buildings, erected with special reference to the needs of pupils. The faculty em braces Prof w H. Tharp and an ef- icient corps of teachers. The att tendance this year surpasses that of any previous session. In the north ern suburbs, just completed, is a handsome two-story building for a select school for young ladies. Mrs. Willis and Mss Tapscott are the principals, and all the pupils the building will accommodate have all ready matricnlated. The foundation is being laid for two story brick public school building which will be completed Tn January next. Her superior educational advantages have induced a number of excellent citizens from different portions of the state to move to Searcy to educate their children. Most of them have built beautiful and costly residences, and others are in course of construc- tion. Searcy's rapid advancement in educational and commercial lines is notable and magnificent ex- ample of what push and enterprise when coupled with united and well directed effort can accomplish. And in the realization of such splendid results her progressive citizenship is entitled to unbounded praise.
