Commissioner Peterson merely smiled
when Clerk German had finished. Presi-
dent Edelstein, Commissioners Allen
and Bedell voted to pass them, but Mr..
Peterson interposed big mo"
MORE AMMUNITION.
Adjournment was about to be asked,
when Commissioner Peterson remarked
that he had few resolutions to offer.
Here is the first ones
Resolved. That the Board Of Street and Water
Commissioners be requested to hereafter furnish
this Board with the. original payrolls and orig
inal bills for merchandise covering ali items
awaiting concurrence of this Board.
The word hereafter was omitted in
the original resolution. 1t was inserted
at the request of Mr.. Allen. The resolu-
tion was adopted.
Resolution No. was as follows:-
Resolved That the Clerk of the Board of Fl
nance report at the next regular meeting of the
Board the date of all resoutio ls Of the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners and showing
purchases designated by the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners of merchandise and
now awaiting the concurrence Of this Board
My reason for offering this resolu-
tlon," said Mr.. Peterson, sis merely to
establish our standing. Some time ago
we passed O resolution to the effect that
we would not pay any claim for merchan-
disc purchased by the Street and Water
Board unless their acquisitions were first
ignored. Some of the bills we returned
have come to us again. They have not
been altered one iota and if we are to
have no say whatever want to know it
at once. We have conenrred in but one
reauisition and that was for ten inch
water meter" This resolution was
adopted.
This is the third resolution offered by
Mr.. Peterson:-
Resolved That this Board refuse to concur in
any further payrolls of the Street and Water
Board for any month unless presented TO this
Board within the first ten days followed by the
month covered by the payroll, and that the
Clerk of this Board, on the receipt of such. pay
roll of the Street and Water Board within such
time, shall call special meeting of this Board
to act on such payroll; and
Resolved, That the Clerk Of this Board send a
copy of this resolution to the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners.
Mr.. Peterson offered this, he said, in
the interest of the labourers and to put
stop to further hanging up of claims. MIR.
Peterson's resolution was killed by a
party vote.
sThe city has not been getting any the
worst OF this" said Mr.. Peterson as soon
as adjournment had been taken. This
vote showing business has been profitable,

MOTHERS ROOM.

let US revercntly enter, where loving pres
ence waits,
Not far away from heavenly fields, with open,
golden gates;
Tread lightly, hours are precious here on this
seeming holy ground,
Dear mothers room, where patient love and
blessings rare abound.
Speak softly, for unpleasant tones should
never here be heard,
No thought of strife, no angry voice, no bitter,
burning word
Be uttered meath the healing wings of trust
and hope and peace
Which hover over mothers room and rest
without surcease.
De gentle when in mothers room. for here
true gentlcness
Hath reign supreme, and here IL known the
soothing, sweet impress
OF devotion ut the cradle. at the altar and the
tomb,
Making of this world of bliss in restful moth
er's room.
I,e thoughtful here Of word and deed where
affection deep holds sway,
Where mothers prayers for her dear ones
have utterance each day:
Where pleadings long with wayward ones
mingle with heartfelt pride
For noble deeds: where stricken hearts arc
soOthed and tears are dried.
Where'er we are, where'er we roam, whether
on land or sea.
Reflected back in mernory's glass. how pleasant
It's to see
That room where all that's dear in life is
nursed to bud and bloom
Oh. earth has not a charm more dear than that
OF mothers room.

Travel in the East.

How wonderful and ever present is
the contrast in eastern travel to all life
and movement at home. No heavy carts
and numbering wagons jolt to and fro
between the far1nyard and the. fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash past on macadamized roads. Alas!
there are no roads-and if no roads, how
much less any vehicles OF wagons.
Thatched roofs and tiled cottages, lanes
and hedgerows and trim fields, rivers
coursing between full banks, beyond all
the roar and sudden smoky rush of the
train-these might not existin the'world
at all, and do not exist in the woyld of
the Persian, straitened and stunted, but
inexpressibly tranquil in his existence.
Here all is movement. and hustle, hux
and speed; there everything is imper-
turbsble, immemorial, immutsble, slow.

The Northern Pacific locomotive
sounded the fire alarm Tuesday evening
u few minutes after six o'clock, and
there was great excltement among our
people for few minutes. The dust
house of Cooper's elevator was on fire,
but was promptly put out and a serious
coniiagration was averted by prompt
action. Mr.. Cooper had left the town
and it would have taken the pleasure
out Of his trip if he learned that his
elevator had gone up in smoke. How
ever, "all is we'll that ends WE'LL" The
origin of the fire is unknown, although
tits thought that some one had been
working in the dust house and had.been
smoking and had dropped light or
some fire which had smouldered until
it was famed into blaze, Mr.. j. n.
Brown, who has charge of the elevator
had gone to supper, and as everything
was all right when he lett, the fire must
have been smouldering some minutes
before bursting out. Very little dam
age was done.

Brvant,s Interstate College.

Texarkana has real college. Our
city papers have not mentioned one
hundredth part of its equipments.
We admire and respect Prof. Bryant,
who had such good judgement in
meeting the wants Of our people, by
placing Texarkana in the lead, as to
educational advantages. We hope
shortly to give our readers a synopsis
of the entire college and its working.
Readers, help the Texarkana Demo-
Graf, in building up fine school at
home. This paper has always spoken
well of Prof Bryant's knowledge in
school matters, in general. We shall
follow his school closely and try to
aid him in his great and good work.
1t is public benefit-an assured sue
cess.
The pupils are perfectly delighted
with the Interstate College.
Mr.. bryant used good judgement
in spending thousands Of dollars in
fitting up college among people who
appreciate such efforts. Texarkana
has, to-day the finest equipped school
in the United States for the same class
of students. Let Mr.. Bryant lead
in spending money, time and labor in
building up university among us.
The people of Texarkana are showing
him, by sending their children, that
they appreciate his efforts. Friends,
send all the children. We have a
live, pushing educator-a business
mana gentleman Of good sense; a
thinker a door.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

To the-patrons of the public schools
of Texarkana. Ark:
The public schools on the Arkansas
side begun Monday with four hun
bred and eighty pupils present.
If there are other parents who con-
template sending, please send at once,
that your children may begin with
the class.
The Directors have secured efficient,
practical and competent teachers, and
they feel safe in saving if the patrons
will cooperate with the teachers, we
will have a good school the present
scholastic year.
1t will be one OF which every citi-
zen viii feel proud. But if parents
encourage or screen their children in
INSTRUMENTATION to their teachers, the
school viii not reach the efficiency the
Directors desire.
The Directors would respectfully
request the parents to assist the teach
ers in their work.
Encourage your children to be
prompt and regular in their atten-
dance. Irregularity in attendance re-
tards the progress of the child, pro-
duces confusion in the class and places
a double burden on the teacher.
Visit the schools as often as you can.
Become acquainted with the teachers,
especially those under whose charge
your children are placed.
