 Wesley Dugan, a public school teacher near Petersburg, Ind, was the victim of hazing at the hands of his pupils, which came near cost ing him his life. He was set upon by the larger pupils in his school and carried to the edge of pond in which it was proposed to duck him. Breaking away, he ran into the water and waded to stump some distance from the bank. Here he was pelted with stones and clubs until forced to take to the water again and try to reach the opposite bank. He was already numbed with cold, and before reaching the opposite bank lost consciousness and would have drowned had not passing farmer rescued him.
 Secretary Hitchcock has handed down an important decision, far reaching in its effect, relating to the school status of the children of 'scourt citizens" in Indian Ter ritory Under the secretary's de- cision the children of those people who made application for citizen ship to any of the five nations in Indian Territory, and whose appli- cations were rejected by the Dawes commission, and who later applied to the courts and received decrees directing the Dawes commission to enroll them as citizens of the tribes, have no school status whatever. They are excluded from the Indian schools because their right to citi- zenship has not been finally settled, ;, they are excluded from the white schools because their parents do not contribute in the way of taxes to the support of the white schools. Thus they are excluded from all schools in the territory.
 The third assistant postmaster general has issued an order against the transfer of subscription lists under certain circumstances by newspapers. Speaking of the order, the official says: 'sIt is not design ed against legitimate papers. When a paper passes out of existence and
 
 has a bona fide subscription list and remaining obligations to subscrib- CTS, there is nothing in the order to prevent it from paying another publication for fulfilling that obli- gation. The order is designed against the transfer of worthless list of names from one publication to another without consideration. for the purpose of sending papers i to see if the people will subscribe. This is really the sending ef sam l pie copies and, under the terms of the law, the number of sample cop ies is limited to 50 per cent of the issue"

Egyptian cotton looks before and after opening the bale, will soon realize why the spinners prefer it to the American cotton. It is due to great extent to the careful handling and ginning it has gone through.
 MT. J. B. Allen, of Port Gibson, Miss. the originator of the world famous Aliens long-staple cotton, handles hisseotton better and with more care than any farmer ill the entire cotton belt. This know to be fact. He sold his crop this season for Y cents, and 1t meas ured 5-S to II-I6 inches. His cotton was picked with the utmost care, ginned Nslow and ill gin that is always kept clean. If the farmers would take more care in the picking, handling and ginning of their cotton it would not only pay them we'll, but would make American cotton sell above cotton raised in any part of the old world.
 The farmers should take more care in the selection of their seed and by doing as I have stated here ill, they need not worry about the Egyptian, African or any oth- CT foreign cotton.
 They should bear in mind that if cotton is worth the trouble of raising, ginning and baling, it should be taken better care of in handling. In so doing they would gain the friendship of the spinners and would be better paid for their cotton.
 The interest of the farmer and the manufactures should be mu- tual.
 I am closely attached to cotton, for it has a fascination for me, and that is why I hate to see it-badly handled and thrown about as an old cast off shoe.
 Hoping my letter will be care fully read by all parties interested in the raising and handling of cot ton and that it may do the good that prompted me ill writing it, and with thanks for giving it space i'll your valued columns, am yours truly,

is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already.
 Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat. consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver ,Odl.
 There are many causes of get ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: over work and under-digestion.
 Stop over-work, if you can; but, whether you can or not, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can't live on it--true--but, by it, you can. There's a limit, however; you'll pay for it
 Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for "can't eat" unless it comes of your doing no work--you can't long be-well and strong, without some sort of activity.

 The Burleigh resolution which does not diminish the CongTession- al representation of any state, but increases that of several, passed the House few days ago and 1t is generally supposed that it will pass the Senate and become law. Arkansas gets one new Congress- man under this resolution and i'll case it becomes law the state would have to be re-dist.icted. In that case Faulkner county should endeavor to get into little better district. As it is now we are on the corner of our judicial and con- gressional districts, there being no other county common to the two districts but Faulkner. and White county, which with Faulkner, forms our senatorial district, is in neither our judicial nor congress- ional district.

addition to the improvements around
the factories, number Of splendid
vessels have been added to the fleet
engaged in fishing and bringing the
raw product to the factories.
