Miss Burns took her place in the
school on Wednesday, having nearly
recovered from her recent illness.
Visitors at the school have been quite

After short address and prayer by
Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Ewing offered few
, words of sound advice. This was fol-
lowed by Miss McLeans inaugural
address, which was greeted with hearty
cheers. Unfortunately Miss Burns
was not able to be in her place, on ac-
count of illness, but Miss Otis, Miss
Eisenlord and Miss Smith were on

talk was short one but one which ex-
pr ssed great deal. In the course of
it, he especially emphasized his hearty
welcome to those who had entered our
schools from outside.

Wax figures are slowly disappearing
as advertising agencies. The cheap
tailors use figures of wire with heads
of plaster and pnpier mache, and the
cheap dentists have taken in some of

4 few of the wax figures that are still
used in shop windows is ghastlv.
There is one figure of q woman whose

there is n tailor's dummy whose fore
head is falling into his eyes, giving
him q very malign expression. In a

ONE GLANCE OF RoGUIsH EYES.
Long List OF Catastrophes Due to the
Smile Of . Pretty Octoroon.

Long List OF Catastrophes Due to the
Smile Of . Pretty Octoroon.
She was piquant little octoroon,
with pretty face and stylish attire,
says the New York Sun. AS she started
from the curb at busy junction near
the Brooklyn city hall she gave pert
glance at well-dressed colored man
who happened to halt beside her, and
he turned to cross the street, too. The
girl reached the opposite curb just as
the man reached the middle of the
street, and as she turned to walk on
she gave another roguish glance and a
toss of her head and hurried out OF
sight. The mans attention was at
tracted to the girl and he did
not notice swiftly approaching
trolley car until it nearly ran him
down; then he made wild leap that
would have done credit to circus
clown and landed on the curb on his
hands and knees. A heavy two-horse
team was coming in the other direc-
ton; the drivers attention was at
tracted from his horses to the antic of
the man, and one of them slipped and
went down on it's knees. A few yards
behind the team was n trolley road
switch, and, the switchman's attention
being diverted to the stumbling team,
he neglected to turn the switch and
allowed a car that should have turned
off there to run several yards on the
wrong track. Another car, following,
ran over the switch, others behind it
were halted, and at least four cars in
all had to back to allow the first car to
take the switch. Then, as the second
car of the string started to back
rather suddenly, it barely escaped col
lision with car running into the
switch from the branch, and, narrow
est shave of all, came within hands
breadth of running down an elderly
man who was crossing the street, and
who became confused by the shouting
and the irregular movements of the
cars. And all this the havoc of a wom-
su's eyes. .------ -

The press of the state are canvassing
probable candidates for positions on the
state ticket this fall and in some of
them we have noticed the name of Ch8s.
M. Rigley, OF Las AnimaS, used in con-
nection with the attorney generalship.
Mr.. Ridley has many personal and po-
litical friends throughout the state, and
his acquaintance in all sections is and
his candidacy would be and element Of
strength to the ticket that should not
be overlooked. AS an attorney he ranks
very high in his profession, and his
general are unquestioned; his experience
in matters of law havo been varied and
large, he has been and is close student
of the legal literature of his chosen pro-
fession as well as being keenly alton
tive to the living issues Of the day. His
nomination would be nn honor to the
Arkansas valley, that would be nppre-
ciated. Appreciated much the more
because that section of tho state has
never yet been accorded the honor Of
placing a name on the state ticket, and
it has of late years become very i'm
portant part of the state, in population
and agricultural and stock interests. and
the people feel that they should be af-
forded recognition.
Mr.. Rigley's Republicanism is OF tho
sort evinced by unswervering devotion
to America and Amer lean institutions.

AFTER ANARCHISTS.

Congressman Stone, OF Pennsylvania,
last week introduced bill defining who
arc anarchists, and fixing penalties upon
conviction Now if the several states
will pass similar law protecting their
officers and private citizens, perhaps an
archy will not be SO literally advocated.
The following is the substance OF the
bill:
The bill provides that any person or
persons appointed or designated or en-
ployed by any society or organization
existing in this country or any foreign
country which provides in writing or by
verbal agreement, understanding or
countenancs for the taking of human
life unlawfully. or for the unlawful de-
struction of a building or buildings or
other property whore the loss Of human
life is tho probable result OF such de
struction Of property, shall DO deemed
an anarchist.
Any person or persons, being anar-
chists, or anarchists as defined by the
first section OF this act. who shall at
tempt tho life Of any person holding OF.
flee, elective or appointive or employed
under tho constitution and laws OF the
United States, or who shall attempt the
destruction of any building or buildings.
or other property where loss OF lifo of
any such United States official or em-
ployes would be the probable result Of
such des.ructjf y of buildings or other
property, shall, upon trial and conyic-
tion of such offenses in any circuit or
district court of the United States Of
the district where such offenss was at
tempted, be sentenced to death by hang
ing.
