THERE WERE TEN OBJECTIONS.
But Few Superintendents Wanted tho
American Company's Books Changed.

In the card published by Governor
O'Ferral and Attorney General Scott In
answer to the charges OF the Norfolk
Pilot It was stated that school superin-
tendents for cities and counties were
called upon to express to the board their
views, offer suggestions, and criticlse
the books in use" Then followed the
substance of the reports received from
ninety-siX superintendent. An analysis
of these reports shows that the sum total
of the objections was so Insignificant as
to be unworthy of consideration, and fully
justified the board in refusing to make
any change. They were as follows: To
Holiness Reader. 2: Venables Arithmetic,
4; Maury's Geography. 8: Holiness His
tory. 3; Holiness Speller .. None of
these are published by the American
Book Company, but by the University
Publishing Company. The objections to
the publications OF the American Book
Company were: McGuffeys Reader. /:
Davies's and Peck's Arithmetic. 8; Har-
vey's Grammar. 8; Spencerian Copy

DEMOCRATS HARM0NIzING.

Senators Vest, German, Ransom
Cockrell, and Jones, of Arkansas,
are reported to have held lengthy
and important conference in the
committee of appropriations room at
the Capitol building in Washington
yesterday At times they called in
other Democratic Senators for con-
sultation. The Senators who took
part in the conference were exceed
ingly uncommunicative concerning
the proceeding, but it is known that
they had under consideration the
Democratic policy with reference to
the tariff bill and that the sugar
schedule engaged the greater share
of their attention. Their efforts
were in the direction of harmonic
ing the Democratic party, and
while no decision was reached, it is
believed by those well informed that
the conference is likely to result in
the placing of duty of ! cent per
pound on sugar.
A large delegation from the tex
tile workers tariff association, un-
der the guidance Of Representative
Harmer, visited the Capitol and
made an unsuccessful effort to Sc
cure a hearing before the Senate
committee on finance. The delega-
tion included the representatives OF
the worsted yarns, cotton goods,
tapestry, brussels and chenille and
lace curtain industries. They plead.
ed not only for an increase of duties
but for change from an advalorum
to a specific duty, asserting that on
account Of the fraud made possible
by the former system it was but lit
tie if any better than free trade.

ATTACKED BY LIONS.
Carlo Thieman, The Lion Tanner Has
Terrible Experience With
His Beasts.
Germs,

A yesterdays dispatch from San
Francisco, Cal, relates the details
of terrible accident which befeil
Carlo Thieman, an attendant ami
NAL tanner, of Cal Daniel Boone's
Wild Animal Show, at the mid-win-
ter fair, in that city.
The evening performance had
been in progress in Boones arena
for about half an hour and the cir
cular enclosure was filled with poe
pie.
The wild animals were exhibited
in a large cage in the center of the
arena, and it was time for the lions
to goon. Three huge beasts, Par
nell, Romeo and Commodore, were
led into the cage by Thieman, pre-
paratory to Boone's entrance. Sud
denly the electric lights went out.
The was a short interval of silence,
when suddenly shrek of agony
came from the cage 1t was fol-
lowed by a war with the enraged
lions, crunching their terrible jaws
and groans of man in the cage.
The large crowd of spectators be-
came panic-stricken and started for
the doors. Women shrieked and
tainted but the crowd was finally
induced to remain seated by the at
tendants, who retained presence of
mind, Finally lanterns were
brought, and there in the cage lay
Thieman with the three lions claw
ing and munching his PROSTATE
form. Col. Boone seized an iron bar
and entered the cage. With shouts
und blows he drove the beasts from
their prey and dragged the unfort
unate man from the cage. 1t was
an exhibition of bravery seldom
seen. and the crowd cheered the
gallant colonel. Thieman was taken
to the receiving hospital where his
wounds, forty-three in number,
were examined. BY one blow from
a lions paw he had been scalped
from the forehead to the nape of
the neck. Under each arm there
were terrible bites where the lions
attempted to reach the vital spot.
One of them nearly succeed for he
just missed the large artery. The
mans arms, legs, thighs aud but
tocks we're also bitten and scratch

Detailed Action of That Body on the
Application of the Texarkana
& Fl. Smith Ry Co,

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb, IA - The
lengthy letter of the commission to
the Texarkana 4 Ft. Smith railroad
company, referred to yesterday, is
reported by a member to relate
wholly to to the failure of the COM
pany to send the commission there
port of its operations and condition
as required by law, 1t is remember
ed this company was fined 81, 900 for
not reporting to the comptroller,
which fine the governor RENTED, in
part atleast
The decision of the commission is
as follows;
This day came on to be heard by
the railroad commission of Texas
the application of the Texarkana &
Ft, Smith railroad company on the
petition of its officers and on the
sworn statements of Williams, Tay-
lor, the president of the company
under the provisions of the act of
the legislature of Texas entitled
"An act to define franchises; to
make public the value of railroads;
to make effective section 6, article
II Of the constitution, and to de-
clare the effect Of judicial and other
sales of railroads; to limit the amount
of stocks and bonds and other in
debtedness that may be issued by
railroad companies and not to reg
ulate the manner of issuing, regis
tering and securing the same; to
prescribe the penalties for violating
the provisions of this act; and to
prescribe the duties of the railroad
commission, and the attorney gen,
eral in relation thereto, " which act
went into effect on the 7th day of
August A. D. 1898; and it appearing
to the commission that the stock
and bonds of said railroad company
had been issued before the aforesaid
act of the legislature of Texas went
into effect, it is held and adjudged
by the commission that its approx
al of the issue of the stock and
bonds of said Texarkana & Fort
Smith railroad Co. in accordance
with the provisions of said act is un-
necessary.
The commission has written a
lengthy letter to the Texarkana
company which is not given the
press as it is stated to have no pub
lie interest and is only of conse-
quence between the commission and
the Texarkana & Ft. Smith railway
Co.
