Killing at CicaIIa.

Frank Moore, alias Cyclone" was
killed at Cicalla Monday night by J
+. Shaver. Moore was a white man
about so years of age, light complexion,
six feet high, and weighed abodt 100
pounds. From the meager information
obtainabe, it is thought his home is at
or near Marked Tree. lie was in the
timber business, and this brought
him in contact with various camps
throughout the bottom country.
From the circumstances which led
up to his death, there can be little
doubt that he had strayed from the
path of an honest woodman, and en-
tered the field. of the bandit and high
way robber. Monday morning he held
up and robbed j. G. Hampton of some
$27, and later forcltly and by threats
took horse from A. Hooks, which he
rode to Cicalla. This happened at
Patterson's, on the military road, some
eight miles from Cicalla. Later in the
day the parties who were relieved OF
the horse and money pursued Moore
and attempted to catch him at Cicalla
| He lodged them in the nick of time by
slipping out of the back way of tent
and into the darkness At this stage
of the proceedings it became known in
the camp that bandit was among
them, and the campers, it is presumed
prepared themselves accordingly. A
short time after Moore's disappearance
in the darkness, J. Il. Shaver, white
and George Roach. colored, went out
of their camps to look after their stock

A Query.
MARY ELIZABETH sANDFoRD

Why is it, that among the many bright,
well-informed young people of the present
day who go forth from our graded schools
and higher institutions of learning armed
with their diplomas and a good stock OF
practical and general information, we find
so few good readers?
Why should not their attachments in
this line compare favorably with that in
other branches of their education. Ask
information on a grammatical point, and
you will promptly receive the why and
wherefore. A question in civics will be
answered in manner to make those OF
an elder day wish it had been their good
fortune TO have shared the training of the
present.
Give knotty problem and they are
usually quick and clear in its unrayeling
and analysis. They will give you points
in general history that surprise you they
are often at home in one, two or more
foreign languages, and in fact, their fund
gratifying that it seems almost a crime to
speak of anything like fault in the
splendid educational system which has
brought about such highly commendable
results, and yet it is true that these same
well informed young people if asked TO
read newspaper editorial or any similar
reading, will stumble. halt and hesitate
through it, in way that will make one
think twice before subjecting oneself
again to such an ordeal.
Question pupils of twelve or fourteen
years, and you will find that they have
passed OUT of reading. and that, too, at
an age when the everage child is Just be-
coming capable of comprehending and en-
Joying such training. just here comes to
mind an od-time teacher of perhaps
twenty years ago. She had charge of the
advanced pupils in large village school
and what readers she turned out-careful
accurate and comprehensive.
Upon occasion she would keep a whole
class of perhaps twenty-five or thirty at
work on one paragraph or verse an entire
week. or course, it was monotonous in
way, but how eager those scholars grew
to see who would be the next one to 90
through the verse without one mistake
And SO keen and watchful they became.
that when they passed on to the next verse
only little time was needed to make
them 20 through it without a blunder
she did not try to make elocutionists of
them' only intelligent, pains-taking, care
iul readers, and this is no plea for turning
an avalanche of half-deyeloped elocution-
isis loose upon defenceless public.
From such a catastrophe mag the Good

still have from one to five or more years of
school life before them be helped, or even
forced, to become clear, distinct and ac-
curate readers, to whom it viii be a pleas

If every district school teacher were
smooth, careful, fluent reader. thoroughly
capable of so training his pupils, and
every graded school should employ one
teacher whose business il would be to or
ganize and conduct reading classes in all
the advanced grades, never allowing a
student to pass out" of reading till he
could read any ordinary prose or verse
with ease, spirit and accuracy, what a
wonderful change and advance might be
made in the next few years.
Only teacher who was an enthusiast
on the subject could accomplish this, and
what combination of kindness and patti
ence, OF energy and firmness, of tact and
judgment, must be the teacher who would
make success of it.
The dull pupil who forgets. stumbles,
and miscalls simple words, the obstinate
pupil who doesn't see any sense in taking
so much trouble anyway, the bright but
careless one who could do better as well
as not. are all to be guided out of their
dizziness, obstinacy or carelessness. and

Captain IL. n. Pharr, chief engineer
OF the st. Francis Levee district, died
at Mariana this week. The present
levee system along the st. Francis ba-
sin down to Pecan Point is almost en-
tirely the outcome of the work of Cap
tain Pharr. He and II. z. Rodgers,
OF Lee county, Arkansas, were the two
men who got up the plan for the for
nation of the levee boards both in
Arkansas and Missouri for that basin.
and these were the two men who did
virtually all of the work of perfeeting
the organization and securing the pass
age of the bills through the Missouri
and Arkansas legislatures for the crea-
ton of the boards. When the boards
were formed in May, 1898, there was
no other other person thought of for
chief engineer of either than CAPTAIN
Pharr. At all of the annual elections
since that time he has been reelected.
and each time with virtually no opposi-
tlon. lie was considered one of the
best engineers along the river, and in
the st. Francis work he was the guild
ing spirit. Both by his ability and his
unquestioned integrity he had won the
confidence and respect of the people
along the line of the levee and also of
the directors of the board. In the set
tlement of the policies of the board and
all questions pertaining to it, the board.
as IA general thing, acted upon the ad-
vice OF its chief engineer. That, even
III the face OF all the adverse cream
stances it has been able to build 10
miles of levee, shows that he was gen.
orally right. AT the time of his death
he had under way the construction of
seventeen miles of new ievee below
