Thompson returned to school Friday
morning after an absence Of several days
without leave. He was sent to Mr.. Par
menter's room by Miss Looney, one of the
teachers. Mr.. Parmenter said that he
asked the boy why he had run away from
school and told him that the punishment
he was about to receive was for that
offence. Mr.. Parmenter took strap Of
the kind used when it is necessary to in
tiict corporal punishment and placed his
hand on the boys shoulder. Then Thomp-
son asked, "What are you going to whip
me for?" and on being told again drew
from his pocket an open jaok knife, max
ing threatening motions with 1t. Mr.
Parmenter waited a moment and then
rang the bell in the room Of Miss Taylor,
one Of the teachers. In a corner of Mr..
Parmenter's room was q bat such as boys

up while Thompson still kept the knife
in his hand. Miss Taylor went to the

Mr. Parmenter asked her to sit down
and remain in the room as a witness.

son replied that he would do go if MIR.
Parmenter would drop the bat Mr.. Par
menter accordingly handed the bat to
Miss Taylor but Thompson did not keep

while the knife was given to Mr.. Par
menter. Then the matter was reported to
the police. Mr.. Parmenter denied that he

THE HEART OF MARYLAND.

Mr.. David Belasco's romantic drama,
"The Heart of Maryland" will have It's
initial representation in this city at The
Jefferson theatre, January 2S-29, with
,ts original cast and scenic ILLUSTRATIONS

play includes Mrs. Leslie Carter, James

The play is American in incident and
the individuality of it's characters and
throughout the developments of the story
is imbued with glamour of its syInpa
thetic episodes. No stronger play in
realism of it's events, the romanticism of
it's atmosphere and beauty of its diction
has found a place upon our stage in the
past decade.

to please parents by promoting chiI- dren to higher grades, whether they are prepared for such promotion or not. Under the present arrangement the superintendent knows that if he gives way to appeals of parents and pupils of the grammar school he will fill his high school with imperfect material, resulting in a certain lower ing of the standard, the penalty for which must rest upon himself.
 Under the plan of segregation the principal of the high school unless very strong and honest would hurry his pupils to the end of the course and then wash his hands of them. The high school would be filled with i'm mature material and would become a high school only in name.
 It will be remembered the law pro viding for the creation of joint high schools was passed in the interest of the Phoenix high school. It is also re- membered that the people of the joint district were induced with the greatest difficulty to avail themselves of the law and that some of them charged that they were induced by ohicanery to participate in its benefits. They even threatened to go into court. But after they saw how well it worked they were pleased
 If it should cease to work well and prove to be nothing more than a use less and expensive luxury another legislature might conclude to repeal the joint high school law.

SEPARATION OF THE SCHOOLS.
An Important Meeting of the High
 School Board Tomorrow.

An adjourned meeting Of the high school board will be held tomorrow to further consider the matter of the separation of the mana cement of the high school from that of the gram mar school. The project is said to have been originated by member of the high school board. He is now said to be supported by another memb Der, and a third is believed to be on the fence The other two are opposed. The alleged ground Of this action for divorce is greater economy. It was thought that the S75 a month paid the joint superintendent of the schools might be saved CT at least part oi it mighe be saved by adding to the du ties of the principal of the high school those of superintendent. The principal is now teacher and 1t IS admitted that his time is fully occu- piad, so that if he should undertake both offices, one or the ether, and probably both would suffer. It would necessarily end in the employment ol another teacher at a salary almos' certainly in advance of the high schools present share of the joint su- perintendent's salary.
 The project became public about tive weeks ago. Since then public seItl- ment has solidifed against it untl now it is doubtful if it has an advccate aside from the two members of thf high school board.
 The economy proposed is believed te be false, but the worst feature Woulo be the destruction of the relation be tween the schools. One of the aims of a high school is to prepare pupils for an academic course. A too Ire quent aim of the gramnler school Ii

 Grand Exalted Ruler Ira F. Smith of the B. P. O. B. of Arizona returned yesterday morning from the grand re- union Of the order at New Orleans last week. On his way back he stopped at San Antonio to see the Arizona cowboys. He could stop of only half an hour and so he tele. graphed ahead to Captain J. l.. B. Alexander to have the boys at the depot. This was contrary to the rules of the camp, but Captain Alexander said that any rule was capable of be- ing suspended in an emergency. The arrival of any Phoenix man was an emergency. He threatened to call a caucus if necessary to secure permis- sion for the boys to meet MT. Smith. They were all on hand and happy, anxious to take an active part in the war. The boys are clad in their new uniform, consisting of brown trousers, brown duck blouse, blue flannel shirt, cowboy hat, brown leggings and inn mense shoes. The uniform is pic turesque.

When your stomach begins to trou- ble you, it needs help. The help it needs is to digest your food, and, un- til it gets it, you won't have any peace. Stomach trouble is very dis tressing, very obstinate, very danger ous. Many of the most dangerous diseases begin with simple indiges- tion. The reason is that indigestion (not digestion, net nourishment) weakens the system and allows dis ease germs to attack it. The antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial, strength ening, nourishing, curative. It cures indigestion and renews strength and health. It dces this by strengthening g the stomach, by helping it to digest your food It nourishes you. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made of pure herbs, plants and wine, is perfectly harmless and will certainly cure all genuine stomach trouble. Sold by druggists. price 10 cents to $1 per bottle
