ceive part of the contemplated inn
provement which the citizens COM
mittee has mapped out and which it
is hoped will be completed before the

Jr, clerk. After the election com
munication from the citizens COM
mittee was read asking permission to
build twelve foot concrete walk on
the southwest side of the park from
Smith drugstore to the Babbitt build
ing. The trustees adopted resolu-
ton allowing this work to be done.
The Common Council had appro-
priated $400 some time ago for the
purpose of laying flag walk there.
At the special meeting held Monday
night they received communication
from the citizens committee to the
effect that if concrete walk were
built and the Common Council allow
ed their appropriation to stand the
citizens committee would pay $3.50
towards the work, the total cost of
which was estimated to be not over
$3.50. The matter was referred to the
Street committee with power.
And that means that the offer of
the citizens committee will be favor
ably considered and thaC work on
the new walk will soon be begun.
The new walk is to be twelve feet
wide and will have concrete curb to

PRICES ON ICE.
The Tendency in Most Places is to
 Advance the Price.

"The tendency in most places has been to advance prices because of advanced cost of all machinery and material needed in the manufacture of ice. The natural ice people ad- vhnced prices because of greater cost of harvesting. At Boston re- tail prices have advanced from 25c. per cwt. to 40c. per ewt. Philadel- phia charges 50e. per cwt.; Omaha, Neb.. 50c.; Kansas City, Mo-, 40e.; St.. Louis, 35c.; Milwauka, Wis, 35c.; Cincinnati, 30c. and 35c. per cwt.; Indianapolis. 30c. per cwt,; Chicago. 2715c. per cwt.; Washington, D. C., 25c. per cWt.; in the far north west, Spokane, Wash, families have to pay 1c. per ID. for the ice they use, where last year they paid 60e. per cwt. This year, if they take less than 50 lbs. at one delivery, they will be asked to pay at the rate of $I.25 per cwt. Large consumers taking two tons or more at time pay 40c. per cwt., or SS per ton. The Spokane ice companies, it is stated, harvested but 6,000 tons of ice last winter, against 12,000 tons the year before, and there are no Ice factories supplying the public with pure ice. '
 The above is clipped from the "Iee and Refrigerator" Journal and only reminds us of the liberality of the To- cal ice eompany, which recently in- cured large expense in eElarging it's plant here and has reduced the price to 30 cents per cwt.

WEDNEsDAY'S SESSION
Of tn, White Teachers Institute
 Much Beneficial Work.

Wednesdays session of the Pea body Institute for white teachers convened at s o'clock 8. m. The enrolment is now about fifty with interest increasing daily.
 Under school management, reeita- tiOns were discussed under heads or st-Examination, 2nd-Drill, 3rd- Teaching. Teachers were urged to make the work thorough in each grammar. The verb was made a model lesson. Some fine points were brought out and healthy discus sion resulted from some differences of opinion.
 The subject Topography of Arkan- sas," was taken up and developed some new ideas as to teaching geo. graphy. The point was made that it is better to teach the important facts well than to try to cover so many }sss important things. In discussing United States history it was suggested that the pupils learn history more easily by the study of persons than in any othAr way. Good reading was defined as the natural reciting of events just BIS they would be talked of. All at tempts at elccutionary efforts were discouraged. Teachers were urged to go slow, give very short lessons and stay on one selection until it is we'll read.
 A short talk on how to teach spelling was beneficial to the teach CTS. This was followed by sample lessons. Dec es methods of teach ing arithmetic were shown by com mon fraction. Wednesday, work was the hest aceou plished since the session opened.

CROCkETT'S OPPOSITION.
The Democratic Voters of Arkansas
 Should Know the Situation.

The people of Lonoke county are friendly to the candidacy of John ". Crockett, of Arkansas county, who is seeking the democratic nomina- tion for Secretary of State. He is a modest, gentlemanly son of noble sire, and his personal character is above reproach. He has. up to the present tune. made a gallant race, and the impression is gaining ground that he will win, but he is contending against forces rarely ever so closely united in he interest of any candidate. His opponent, Mir. Jett, has been in the Secretary of States office nearly twelve years, and at this time ls dra awing @ salary of $125 per month as deputy Secre- tary of State which has been paid him regularly all during the present campaign, although he has been away from kis duties nearly all tue time. Not only this, but all the other clerks in that department have been in the various counties trying to defeat Mr. Crockett, and, it is said, the head of the department, Mr. Hull, went among his friends i'll Boone, Baxter and other counties. and put them to work for Jett. This is strong force to pit against q man who has no State job behind him and must meet his campaign ex- penses out of his own private fluids. But fearing that Mir. Jett is going to be defeated, the secretary of states pie-eating brigade have been assisted by Toe Q. Moore, the clerk of the peUitentiary, " ho has been in number of counties working for Jett. And, last week, the writer of this article was in W White county. ut his own expense, soliciting support for his friend Crockett, and while there he met Mir. Moore, clerk of the penitentiary, Mr. ". B. Coffe, eom- missary clerk of the penitentiary. and Rev. Mr. Hudspeth, chaplain of the penifentiary, all working hard for MT. Jett, and all Of them on the pay roll of the state. The question now is, " i'll the people, the fair and honest people of Arkansas, permit a good man to be defeated by men who are interested in MT. Jett in or der to hold their jobs? Has the time come when the penitentiary officials. wardens, guards, and those who are working conyicts under state contracts, shall be allowed to elect a penitentiary board that will perpetuate them in office and con- tinue all existing contracts for con- vict labor? II that time is here then DO man ever need aspire to a posi- ton on the state ticket which would make him a member of the state penitentiary board until he has first secured their consent and help. The people should speak out and settle this issue at once and forese er.-Lo- noke Democrat. May 31, 1900.
