A STATEMENT PROM I, J. CoRDErT.

Editor THE VIEWPOINT BEE: The undersigned desires to make a statement and protest. In your article of last week purporting to give the story of the recep giOn of School Visitor Wright at the senior department of Sandy Hook school
 you stated that the simple facts as near
 as could be ascertained, ." etc There are
 CwO sides to this story, and this Is mine
 About 10 o'clock Wednesday forenoon
 last, MT Wright came in thrOug my back
 door, uubiddGn and unann0unced. l was
 busy ut the blackboard and did not
 notice his entrance until half way to the
 desk at the other end of the room, where
 he took my chair. After finishing my
 work, l approached the desk, and said
 Do you come here officially to examine
 my school and report on iC?n Mir Wright
 replied in the affirmative. II deny you
 that right,' I said "without the authority
 of the acting school visitor, J, J. North
 rOp. He visited this school officially,
 last Friday, and any information you
 want you can doubtless get from him" "
 If you persist in this I shall be under the disngreeable necessity of closing my school" l added. MT Wright then stat ed that Mir NOrthrop had given him per mission to examine his schools, This did not believe, and do not now believe, and proceeded to close my school See. ing his mistake then of claiming the right of officially inspecting, which I denied, Mir Wright then took another course. He claimed his right as a citizen and tax payer, to visit the school, and called for the register. But 1t was to late. He had 1 put himself on record as coming to my 1 school in his official character, aud l 1 could not separate the man from the l official without qualification of self at l that time. However, l told him that at | any time afterwards In the presence of any other visitor he might come to my | school to visit. He then wanted to know piled not SIS given in your report, but thus 'sBecause l believe you are not a friend of the public schools, and could not give an honest report. ! stand ready At any time to prove by the testimony If ioma of his people, the truth Of the state nent that he Is not friend of the public

In these days YOU ARE OBLIGED TO PUSH, especially if you are in the Clothing busi ness. There are plenty of stores and lots of competition but amongst it all we are steadily in creasing our sales. There must be 8 reason for it. We think it is because we sell reliable goods at reasonable prices and the peo- pie are coming to realize it more and more.

How Sheriff Ruffner Captured a Des-
 perate Criminal
 Prescott Courier: Sheriff Ruffner returned yesterday with Theodore Bowles and lodged him in jail. Bowles is the man who almost killed a man on Lynx creek by striking him over the head with a Winchester
 The sheriff was out after Bowles for eight days and was on his trail for five days before he overlook him, which was south of Blackberry in sandy wash. Bowles was walking in front of his horse, leading the animal by rope, when the sheriff took Bowles by sur prise, spurred his horse and rode be- tween Bowles and his horse. At the same time Ruffner threw his six-shoot- CT down on Bowles and ordered hands up. The hands went up only partially when litte more persuasion sent them above the mans head. 'Bowles then wanted to know wherefore, and was soon told. He then asked permis- sion to go to his horse, saying there was nothing in the pack on the horse in the shape of weapons save an old knife.
 The sheriff replied that he would first investigate the pack, and when he did so his first discovery was loaded revolver, which Bowles would have probably used had he been able to get

THE NEW NORMAL. r
Progress of Work Upon the Structure
 at Tempe.

The brick and si.one work on the Normal school is practically complete and the work of placing the iron roof and cornices has commenced. Car penters are busily fitting up the in terior and the structure is beginning to assume it's proper appearance. The imposing front entrance is not as yet finished, though the stone and iron are p0n the ground for the purpose.
 The building is indeed a noble one in size and in architectural design, and will admirably fulfill the purpose of its erection. Over 30 pupils may easily be accommodated within it, with ample room for offices, labora- tories, library and assembly and reel 51tion rooms.
 There are practically four stories, though it is understood to be the de- sign that only the main and second floors are now to be fitted for use. The ground story, however, is deep and spacious and the top floor is fully suit able for any of the purposes of the school.
 The study assembly room will be on the main floor, in the northern part oi the building. Immediately above it is the main assembly hall, embracing al the north wing of the building and ln height twenty-five feet, extending ul through the third story to the roof
