Warning Against an Impo.,or.
State Superintendent J. J. Doyne IS issued the following circular let

State Superintendent J. J. Doyne has issued the following circular let ter:
 T am informed that one Harry Batdorf, claiming to have a letter of recommendation from me, is selling school supplies in the state for the National Supply Company. St Louis or Kansas City. I have never heard of any such firm. and MT. Batdorf has no letter of recommendation from me. It further appears that, in some instances, warrants have been drawn by the directors in advance of the delivery of the goods. and the goods have in no case been received.
 Examiners and treasurers are urged to keep the directors on the alert against such impositions. and no director should draw warrants for goods purchased until the same have been delivered. Permit me also to ask that you call their attention to the comments on section 7049 of the school law, as a guide to the legiti- mate expenditure of the school moneys for purchase of supplies
 The state supreme court convened on the Sth inst. after a recess of two months.

 the St. Louis Jefferson Club.

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. 12.-The Jefferson club of St. Louis was wei comed to historic Monticello by Hon. Jefferson NJ. Levy, who is the owner of the former nome of Thomas lief ferson. His address was as follows:
 Members of the Jefferson club of St. Louis, Citizens of Missouri and Virginia 1 welcome you to the home of Thomas Jefferson Your visit honors the memory of the greatest statesman and profound est thinker of any time or country.
 All people who love free and unrestrtct- ed liberty and the ideal principles of re- publican government now recognize Jet- fefson as the father of true democracy. Ills principles apply to-day to the gov ernment of seNentY-fiNe millions of peo- pie as they applied in our early history to lew millions.
 your country through his diplomacy, he also secured to the middle west from the Virginia commonwealth the expression of the northwestern reserve which now con, tains the great states of ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
 Turn to any question of government. finance, dealings with foreign powers. ac- quiSition of territory, commerce. educa- ton, coinage-in fact, to every public sub ject before the people now, or in the past, and you will find his principles applicable, and tending to lead our country Ito be- come the greatest nation in the world. Our late beloved and patriotic president, William Mckinley, whose death our peo- pie are now lamenting, stated to me short time before his death that each day of his life he learned more and more of Jefferson that he never tired of reading his writings, and that in the administra- tion of his office president he ever sought to put his principles into practice.
 Therefore fellow citizens, 1t gives me great pleasure to greet you at his home. You will lind it as he left it over seventy five years ago.
 l hope all citizens of our country will co..tinue to visit Monticello, for l am sure 1t can not but help inspire our people with love for our republican form of government. l am sure pilgrimages Of this character can not fail to inspire and unite our party for as attention is called to the platform of true democracy. as laid down by Thomas Jefferson. the people will rally around our banners and re- store the government to our administra- ton, for il is the only sheet anchor of f.rf,G A..Tit

From Supt. Doyne.

State Superintendent of Public In struction Doyne has sent out the fol lowing letter to the private schools of the state:
 While our public school interests will be adequately represented at the the St. Louis Exposition in 1903. our private schools must not be over looked. I inclose a circular letter which is being mailed. Will you not be in position to have an exhibit sim liar in character prepared for your institutions2 In addition to this it would be of much interest if there could be furnished a succinct history of the organization, progress, finan- cial standing and present status of the institutions.
 You will readily see tnat the prep aration of an exhibit such as we eX- pect to have will take much time and entail much labor, hence the endeavor to enlist thus early the friends of our Arkansas schools. Please do me the kindness to let me hear from you as soon as convenient. with a favorable response"
