The Parker Controversy Ended.

The case of John Buzzard prosecuting
witness versus Harry and Guy Williams,
came up before Judge Taggard on Thurs
day. 1t was case wherein the latter,
boys aged Is and II years respectively,
were charged with assaulting Mr.. Buz-
zard and was brought up here from
Parker for hearing. The facts as shown
caused Prosecuting Attorney Guthrie to
state that there appeared no cause for
action and that the case was unworthy
the attention of the county officials and
that while he was there to represent the
plaintiff he did not believe that the
county should be burdened with the ex-
pense of actions of such trivial nature,
and therefore he requested that the
matter he dropped and the costs accru-
ed be charged to the prosecuting wit
ness.
The Judge concurred with Mr.. Guthrie
in his view of the matter. and the case
was settled in this way

Or. Frank Says mo-"

Health commissioner Frank has de.
cided that the basement of the old
Columbia school house is no longer fit
for use as a school room and has con-
sequently condemned the same. In the
last two or three years water has per-
colated into the basement, and though
it usually disappears about the time that
school opens in the fall OF the year, it
leaves the place in an unhealthful state.
1t was thought at one time that the
basement could be drained sufficiently
to remedy the matter, but close exam
ination revealed the fact that the founda-
ton walls were soaked and it would still
leave the sanitary conditions arising
from the presence of water unhealthful.

early part of January.
This confirms the report of n few
days ago that the appointment of
Dr. Hardin and his wife would he
made. 1t seems that the governor
recently decided to make the change
OF DIR. Martin and his wife to the asv-

would change the management of

RACE RIOT At HARLEM.
Four Whites Wounded and Fifteen
Blacks Arrested.


New York, December 25-A race
skirmish between whites and blacks
in Harlem to-day developed serious
proportions and kept the police busy
fora time The negroes, 100 strong,
were armed with revolvers and clubs,
while equally as many whites used
stones and weapons. The negroes
had the advantage, but were driven
back into their tenements by the
police after they had charged on the
whites with pistols and razors.
Fifteen negroes were arrested.
Four whites, including a policeman,
were badly shot or cut.
The rioting began when some white
boys stoned two colored girls, where
upon a dozen negroes seized the
white boys and beat them. The
white boys, when released, told their
story to white men in the vicinity,
and an organized attack was made
on the negroes, who were driven back
to their tenements under a shower of
stones.
The confusion increased when the
white men began to lombard the
tenements with stones and other mis-.
siles, and the negroes fired from their
windows into the crowd.
The whites were surprised by the
shooting, and, seeing men falling
wounded, tnrned and ran, and were
followed by the negroes, who used
knives and razors freely.
At this point a force of police ar
rived on the scene, and, with drawn
clubs, stopped the rioting, chasing
the negroes into their houses.

MAY RELINQUlSH CONTROL.
Reports Concerning ehina's Dowager
Empress Gaining Credence.

Pekin, Dec. - The continued re-
ports OF the empress dowager's inten-
ton to relinquish control OF the gov
eminent gained considerable credence
among the foreigners here, although
the Chinese, who for some time have
been much concerned regarding the
attitude of the ministers who are de-
sirous of a solution OF all unsettled
questions, do not believe that she
would voluntarily surrender power,
or if she did surrender it was that the
REIMBURSEMENT would be sincere.
Great preparations are being made
at Paoting Flu for the reception of
the court. The fact that the en-
press dowoger will stop over at Pao-
ting Flu supports the confident as
sertion that the emperor will return
tie Pekin first.
Sir Robert Hart, whose influence
with the Chinese is increasing, says
that the present negotiations with
Russia regarding Manchuria are
more satisfactory than the former
conferences. He believes that Russia
will modify her original demands,
thus making it possible for an agree
ment to be reached.

VICTORIOUS WORK IS
URGED BY CHAFFEE,
Thinks There Has Been Entire

What fi|ipinos Nav
Expect.

Washington, Dec. 26.-In a letter
to the War Department., Mai. Gen.
Chaffee makes clear his belief that
drastic measures should be- employ
ed to maintain American sovereign
ty over the Philippines. Progress is
being made in convincing the natives
that the United States have no in
tention of Withdrawing from the de-
termination of the question which
they have set themselves to solve,
but the task is a slow one.
In his letter General Chaiiee says:
"My opinion is that there has been
entirely too much talk hitherto of
what the Filipino may expect from us.
The commission recently passed a
treason and sedition act. Vice Gov.
Wright's speech opened their eyes.
It was from the shoulder and a won
derfully good blow. The good it has
done was very great. The politician
are beginning now to act in /, way
they should have acted long ago
that is, using their influence for
peace.

the vigorous operations conducted
by Brigadier General Smith in the
Island of Samar. ''If Smith can

RURAL DELIVERY RULES.
Civil Service Will Take Effect
February.
Simple Examination of Carriers Politi-

After that date all petitions for the
establishment of service will be sub
mitted on blanks furnished by the
department, and willinclude nominal
tions for the position OF carrier, each
petitioner having the right to make
nomination il he desires to do so.
The special agent who reports upon
the feasibility OF establishing service

Others who may apply,
The examination will be excee ding
ly simple, only sufficient to test the
applicants ability to read and
write. 1t consists in filling out an
application blank on which are a
number of personal questions.
Only persons residing on or in the
immediate vicinity OF a prop osed
route will be examined. Only such
applicants will be examined as have
the necessary equipment, horse and
wagon or cart, or who can satisfy
the special agent that they are pre-
pared, if appointed, to furnish such
equipment.
