Text Books.


In another place will be found an item
concerning the change of readers in our
city schools. There is q move on foot to
have the country districts adopt uni
form system Of books throughout the
county. At the present time there is a
contract in existence, entered into by and
between Ford county and certain pub
fishing houses. This contract was made
five years ago. The people are satisfied
with the books now in use. We desire
to caution the people against making ex-
pensive changes. If you listen to the ar
gument of the book agents You will be
made to think you can get something for
nothing. Such is not the case. Book
companies do not do business for amuse-
ment. If you desire changes you should
make your wants known at the conven-
ton. Times will not justify expensive
changes. People who rent cannot afford
changes as they are liable to remove to
another county in the spring, and the
high priced books on hand will be of no
value.
We are informed that County Superin-
tendent Webb opposes changes on ac-
count of crop failures.
We would suggest that while you are
voting Oh the question, Shall we have
county uniformity? you also vote on the
question shall we change text books?

Friday night, greatly to the surprise of
Chalk and.his estimsble wife. It was IN
agreeable surprise, and the twentieth
wedding anniversary was solemnized in
feast and song and merry making. A
magnificent china set vas given the bride
and groom who plighted their troth. fer
better or worse, twenty years ago. A
bountiful supper had been spread before
the guests, and the time until midnight
was passed pleasantly. But few guests
retired before the heavy rain that set In
about one O'Clock, and few people reach
ed home without q thorough wetting; but
there is no pleasure without discomfort,
no joy without sorrow; and in life's rug

Many wishes were given to Mr.. and
Mrs. Beeson for the return of many
more wedding anniversaries, and the
hope that all future commemorations
would be as pleasant as the one passed.

Dental Surgery.

Dental Surgery.
DR.. o. II. Simpson, dentist, performed
q dental operation at Beaver, Ok, that
relieved his patient Of great suffering. A
decayed tooth had caused a swelling In
the cheek which the doctors had describ-
ed as s'catarrh," but which the dentists
method disclosed as the diseased an
trum.'' The sufferer had consulted two
or three well known physicians, who
treated him for cata-rh, but DR.. Simpson
soon removed the cause; and the opera.
ton is described by the Beaver Herald Of
the 18th, as follows:
John Sinclair, ST., Of Lockwood, was
in town the latter part of last week. DR..
Simpson performed very difficult oper-
alton on Mr.. Sinclair, Saturday. It
seems that he has been suffering excru-
ciating pains in his cheek for years, and
the doctors could not tell what was the
matter. Simpson extracted an upper
tooth for him, and on investigation he
found that nearly the entire cheek bone
had rotted away, leaving only a shell.
After scraping the bone the doctor inser-
ted gold tube, about two inches long,
into the cavity, fastening it with gold
bands. Medicine is injected through this
tube, and the doctor says he can keep the
bone from rotting any more. What d..
Simpson don't know about mans head
is not worth knowing, and bis skill in
this case doubtless saved MIR. Sinclair's
life.

The Board Of Education met Friday
morning and BY IN unanimous vote dis
placed the Excelsior Readers used IN the
public schools the past year, and ordered
the adoption Of the Harper series. There
are i've readers In these series and they
are known to be the best readers pub
lished, and most generally used in al hrs.
class public schools. The Excelsior
readers are commonplace and do not b.
long to the present age besides the books
contain 90 many gross and palpable errors
% to render them unfit for use. They
were adopted year ago under misap-
prehension Of facts without . proper con-
sideration Of the faults in the books; and
the board in January sought to reconsider
its action, bnt majority of the board
thought 1t best to defer action until after
the close Of the school year. The change
at this time is commended and especially
by the teachers.
Pupils can exchange the Excelsior for
the Harper reader and be allowed 60 per
cent of the original cost in the exchange.
This rate makes the Harper reader cheap
er to our patrons than the Excelsior by
333 per cent.

HE LURED THEM;
SHE ELEECED THEM
A Sort Of Badger Game That Was
Broken Up Yesterday.
VICTIM WHO WAS AN EXCEPTION
James Sheridan, u Jail Bird, and the
Notorious Emily Griffin We're Doing
u Metropolitan Turn on Franklin
Avenue. from Clark's
Summit Risks NotOriety and Goes
In to Recover His $40.

James Sheridan and Emily Griffin,
| two well known characters in police
| circles, We're arrested yesterday Tor
| working a sort of badger game.
The Griffin woman had rooms at 2l5
| Franklin avenue. Sheridan was nel
| copper Their game was to allure a
| drunken or unsophisticated man to the
| house and rob him, if the woman could
induce him to remain over night. The
victim in such eases will as Il rule suf-
| fer his loss rather than expose simselt.
Thus the operators of the game expect
to escape punishment.
One of the victims of the sheridan
Griffin gaze, however. was an excep-
tion to the rule. He is Arthur Lumbert
an old farmer from Clark's Summit.
Lumbert was i'm the city last Friday
and got pretty fun. Sheridan ran across
him and enticed him to the Griffin wo-
mans apartments. When he woke up
in the morning his wad amounting to
$50 was missing. The woman denied,
of course, that she knew anything
about it and suggested that the man
who brought him there might nave
robbed him. When he sobered up he
thought the whole thing all over anu
came to the conclusion that he had
been the victim of II game in which

He placed the matter In Alderman
Millars hands and yesterday, after the
officers of his court had secured con-
vincing evidence, he had the pair ar
rested They were held in $500 each
for court and in default were COM
mitted.
Sheridan is the individual who, with
Thomas Fitzpatrick, went to the peni-
tertiary for assaulting and attempting
to rob old Patrick Wynn, about eight
years ago. They were members of the
then famous dead line gang of Dodge
town and for this, as much as for the
immediate crime. they were given ten
years apiece by Judge Hand. Through
the efforts of Attorney Richard j.
Beamlsh Sheridan's sentence was cut
down and on this account and for rea-
son of good behavior he only served
five years and seven months. Fitzpat-
rick was released last April, after serv-
ing a little over eight years
