Arkansas should not be behind othe states in the matter of public institp tions. The same needs exist here as elsewhere. Other states have regard ed reform schools for boys as among their most worthy public establish. ments. Arkansas is in great need Of such an institution and the Legislature should consider the matter seriousy and provide for the ablishment of such school.

 The state press is almost unanimous in advocating the demolition of the present capital building in Little Rock and constructing a more modern one The great state of Arkansas is making rapid advancement all along the line, and as new state house will be a necessity in few years there is no good reason why one should not be built immediately. Nearly all of our sister states boast of fine capital and point to it with pride, and Arkansas should not be behind the times. We believe in public improvements, whether state, county, city or town ship. A state building suitable to our vast resources and growing importance among the sisterhood of states would be potent factor in placing Arkansas several notches higher in public esti- nation. -Jonesboro Sun.

THE $4, 100000 CLAIM.

condition to pay at any moment
after the loan was made. The
Cherokee nation is entitled TO re-
imbursement of this amount the
same to be restored to the princi-
pal of the national fund, with in
terest at five per cent per annum
from the date OF payment to the
Choctaws.
1t therefore appears from the
accounting made by the govern
ment experts. James A. Slade and
Joseph T. Bender, there is due the
Cherokee nation total of 81, 1,1l4,-
34S.23 with interest to date of pay
ment which now amounts to more
than $4, 100000. On March 3rd,
1895, congress passed an act which
declared the interest shall not be
counted on this claim and when it
came up for action by the COM
m;ttea On Indian affairs il was re-
ferred to Attorney General Har-
mon who on December End, 1895,
rendered an opinion that the prin-
cipal was not due.
The agreement of January 18th,
1899, between the Cherokee nation
and the United States, now pend
ing before congress, provides that
this claim be submitted to a board
of arbitration composed of two
members of the United States sem
ate and three members of the
house of representatives, who shall
determine whether or not the
amount is due the Cherokees.
Various attorneys have applied
to the Cherokee national council
seeking authority to collect this
claim and others have offered to
purchase the claim outright, but
the council has seen fit to leave
the matter with its own attorneys
at Washington and the delegation
representing the Cherokee nation
with the hope that they may be
able to bring about an early settle
ment or adjustment Of it.

VELOCITY oF FALLING.
In a Vacuum All Fall Alike, Not So in

In Vacuum ALI Fall Alike, Not So In
the Atmosphere.
The old-time query as to which OF
the two, a pound of lead or pound of
feathers, dropped from the same
height at the same time, would first
reach the ground, seems ever new.
Someone propounded it to the wise
man of the Scientific American recent
ly, using instead of lead and feathers
an ounce and ton of iron. And this
is how the wise man responded: This
matter was put to the test of expert
ment by Galileo at the Leaning Tower
Of Pisa In the seventeenth century,
with two balls of lead, weighing one
and ten pounds respectively. The fol-
lowers of Aristotle had taught for cen
turies that the balls would fall in pro-
portion to their weights, the heavier
one falling the faster. Calico point
ed out the fact that the lighter one
would reach the ground first, because
the air would resist the fall of that OF
the larger one more than it would that
Of the smaller. He had previously
demonstrated the law Of falling bodies
that the velocity under the action OF
gravity is Independent of the mass of
the body. Experiment confirmed his
position. The small ball reached the
earth first. In a vacuum all bodies
fall with the same velocity through
any distance. AS a practical state
ment, it may be taken as true that
small dense bodies will conform to the
theoretical laws, falling any distance
less than 200 feet. in the atmosphere
But with an ounce and a ton there
would be a perceptible difference. The
ounce ball would fall the faster. Facts
like this are nowadays demonstrated
by even elementary students in almost
every class in physics in the country"

way the undermined was able to sift and

was only one of the evils incident to the
existence side by side of 3,143 separate
claims within an area of one and half
square miles. Another evil--from the min
ers and buyers point OF view-was the
depreciation of diamonds consequent upon
competitive haste to make outputs. a
young man named Rhodes, the son of an
English parson, saw that the African dia-
mond miners, of whom he was one, were
hurting their own business by this compe-
tition, and, displaying a power of organ
ization of which his family and friends
al home had never suspected him, he butt
up the great consolidation of diamond
mining interests which first made his name
famous. Not only has the production been
controlled by this consolidation, but the
union of capital has made improved
and more economical methods prac-
ticable, and if the poor people who must
have their daily diamonds suffer thereby,

doctors wrangled over the body. Young
DR.. Connolly was the first to arrive and
forbade anyone 10 enter the room. DIT.
Holmes, the hospital physician, came
next, and ordered her removed to the
hospital. Then the row ensued, and a
policeman was called in by the boarding

the hospital.
Dr. Connolly persisted in riding to the
hospital in the ambulance, and was
pushed out by the irate DR.. Holmes. and
the young doctor was left disconsolate.
