kind of politics OUTSIDE and the most
united harmony Of government inside

q warm discussion followed, led by Mr..
Brigham, and participated In by Dr.
Heaton, of Des Nfoines: N r. Rohrer,
of Council Bluffs, and w. r. Payne, of
Nevada.
The morning session was closed with
ia paper upon Best Books for a Small
Library, by Miss r. Oberholtzer,
librarian Of Sioux City. Some OF her
+ thoughts We're that the library ii, a
small town may have more direct in
fiuence than is possible in the more
complex life of the larger place The
librarian can bring a more ayHnpa thetic
personality to bear on the readers ane
with the books. The library is not
merely a collection of books, it is books
plus humanity. Built for stability. 1T
must have some of the books which are
advertised as new and popular but its
main lines. its undertone. must go back
of current events and new novels to
take its grip on the base of the world. y
The old books have the advantage of
having been measured by tie thought
and taste of centuries. The library.
however small, that does not have a
foundation of the classics fails in its
first requisite. In all departments the
small library mus choose with care
full regard for the various aspects of
use and beauty, planning a foundation
from which to build with symmetry
and. With thought for all classes.

The Choctaws.

The Forrest City base ball team met
at the court house last Friday night
and organized by electing DR.. +. A.
Long, manager, and Chas. r. lizard,
secretary. A strong effort is being
made to organize winning ball team
of home players. and this idea seems
to meet the approval of every citizen
Every man who takes any pride in
athletics at all would be glad to see our
town have fast team of base ball
players and all are willing to support
the home boys in getting up club of
this kind. The team has decided to
name themselves 1.-THE Choctaws, .
in honor of the big railroad company
and hope to play their first match
game about next week. Three towns
want games with Us already viz. j.,
Wynne, Helena and DeValls Bluff. All
these clubs must be accommodated and
a series of three games will be played
with the Helena team. A plot of
ground just beyond DR.. Alleys res
dence has been rented and prepare
tons are being made rapidly to clear
Oft diamond, erect grand stand and
get everything spick and span for the
entertainment of the first visiting
club. The boys will get down to prac-
tice work as soon as the weather fairs
up; some Of them, however, are throw
ing and catching between showers now.
All lovers of manly sport should en-
courage the team with whatever in
tluence they can command and let's
send out winning team from Forrest
City this season, one in which all our
citizens will feel just pride. Mr..
NJ. Il. Koerper, of the Consumers Cot
ton Oil CO., has been chosen by the

will prepare himself by adding the
rules for 1900 to the complimentary
knowledge of the game which he now

Keep IN mind the fact that the sixth
annual commencement of the Crowley
Ridge Institute will take place tonight
at the opera house. You will be en-.
tertained rs well as edited by attend.
ing these exercises. Three sweet girl
graduates will appear on this occasion,
and we are persuaded that their essays,
class work and literary accomplish
ments will compare favorably with
the finishing pupils of any school in
the state. Crowley Ridge Institute
has future before itand its faculty
is made up of ambitious tutors who
VIII use their every effort to make a
reputation for the school if the proper
encouragement is given them. The
patrons of the institution should unan-
imonsly cooperate with Prof. McCon-
nell in his efforts to build up a thor
ough system of training and education
for our boys and girls at home, and we
should take an unusual interest in
every pupil who graduates under his
tutorship. 1t is pleasure to every
parent to have confidence in home
school and the knowledge that our
children will receive just as good if
not superior training at home than
abroad, cannot be otherwise than most
gratifying to the great majority of pa
rents. When this sentiment is preva-
lent and such conditions actually exist,
persons who send their children abroad
before they have been discharged with
deploma by the home faculty, are
traitors to their own interests and in
variably cripple the prospects of their
boys and girls for complete and sys-
tematic course of training. The
ground which they fail to cover with
the home teachers must be gone over
somewhere and at sometime if the pu-
Pills course is complete and thorough,
and why not let them finish at home.
and save the expense and annoyance
OF sending them away to enter the pre-
paratorY departments of foreign
schools and colleges with long and
high-sounding names and big endow-
ment funds. We believe in patroniz-
Ing home talent and home endeavor
in our public schools as well as in our
general merchandise and grocery deal
ers, and believe our school teachers
should be encouraged as well as our
merchants and business men. There
is a future in store for the Crowley
Ridge Institute if the inhabitants of
this community will support and CO
operate with the faculty.

cratic convention at Kansas City
When Mr.. Bryan arose to reply a
demonstration occurred which perhaps

When order was finally restored MT.
Bryan began his address, which was of
considerable length Cheer upon cheer
greeted him at every telling period.
Governor Thomas of Colorado fol-
lowed, notifying Mr. Stevenson of his
nomination.
Mr.. Stevenson replied in a somewhat
briefer speech than that of Mr.. Bryan.
