There has been considerable
talk upon the streets lately to the
effect that the recent sale Of the
M. A. Hamilton property was for
the new school buildings, or part
OF them, and the Daily Express
has been asked to have an expla-
nation. The Express is the mouth
piece neither for the administra-
tion nor for the school board, but
1t can safely say that such a sui
cidal step as to purchase property
before the bonds have carried
would hardly be made by anyone,
much less by men Of the business

BASE BALL TEAM.
Movement on Foot to Make Jones'

The local base ball enthusiasts are
going to organize a crack base ball
team. They have been discussing
the idea several weeks and have con-
cluded to proceed with the work OF
organizing and get ready to send out
challenges. One of the leaders of the
movement this morning said that the
team would be better than ever and
that it was their purpose to make
Jonesboro climb o tree. -
There are several good players
here, enough for strong team, and
with a little practice there is no
reason why they should fail to win
for themselves the distinction of
being the champions of the diamond
in Northeast Arkansas.
1t is expected that the club will be
finally organized by the latter part
of next week.

NEAT PACKERS COMBINE.
Result Of the Inquiry Conducted
Before Judge Burgess at
Jefferson City, Mo.
SOME STARTLING FACTS BROUGHT OUT.

The City Consumers Have to Take
the Lower Grades of Meat After
the Export Trade Has Been Sup
plied--Some Only Fit Fer tfic Of
fal Pile.
Jefferson City, Mo-, May 9.-In the
inquiry held before Judge Burgess
to ascertain the existence of COM
bine among the packers to control
the price of beef some rather start
ling facts were brought out in con-
nection with the quality of the meat
furnished to the consuming public
| in the large cities. A new term was
| also coined to designate class OF
meat generally supposed to be tit
only for the offal pile. What en-
| dier concession" beef is to the citi-
| zen consumer.
Where beefha been held so long that
| it has reached state of putrefaction
| the packers, at their weekly meeting,
| grant a concession to the one pos
| sessino the stale meat to sell at any
price he may be able to get for it.
| Beef sold in this manner is called
CONCESSION beef by the packers.
Fad Beef Makes Orphans Sick.
It developed, on the testimony OF
! T. L. Sullivan, of st. Louis, that con
| cession' beef had been furnished the
| orphans home of South ST. Louis
! and made the children sick. He also
stated that there were three grades
of meat, classed as first, second and
third. The first class is for export
solely. while the second class is sold
for first-grade meat in this country,
and the third class embraces the odds
and ends.
! Inferior Meat Supplied ST. Louis.
Acknowledgement Grow said that
he was not only intent upon breaking
up the combine which charged out
rageous prices for meat, but that he
meant to force the packer to furnish
better meat. He said that he could
have put many witnesses on the
stand to prove the inferiority of the
meat furnished ST. Louis, but that
the testimony of Mr.. Sullivan was
only sample.
| Beef Inspector Blamed.
| The testimony also showed that
| diseased cattle had been butchered
| in East ST. Louis, carted across the
| bridge at night and the meat sold as
sound animals in st. Louis. Attorney
General Crow holds the beef inspec-
| tor of st. Louis to blame for not in
specting the quality of the beef fur
nished in the city.
VIII Fight for Better Beef.
81 do not only intend that the peo-
| ble of ST, L.yfis and the state shall
all have cheaper prices on meat, but
+ will fight for a better quality OF
beef for the money paid. If the peo.
pie must pay high prices for the beef
will fight to obtain better grade
of beef.' said Attorney General
Crow.

IT find that the records OF the
trdasurer's Office are unnecessarily
burdened with county and city scrip
which belongs to the several counties
and cities issuing the same, and is
held subject to demand as prescribed
by law. Some of this scrip has been
in the vaults of the treasury for
many years, and should be called for
by the several counties and cities
diving it. Excepting the following
counties, every county in the state
has scrip on deposit ranging IN
amounts from $3.50 to 81 500, viz:

sence of general or special statute
AUTHORIZING the treasurer or the
stNayourning board to in some way
dispose of this accumulation ST scrip,
it is apparent that some remedial
legislation is necessary. 1t is also
apparent that some disposition
should be made of the Jones notes
mentioned in this report. These
notes were executed by authority OF
an act of the legislature approved
June /, 1897, and were due and pay
able January l., 1900. These notes
were executed to represent trans
fer of money from the internal i'm
provement fund and the swamp land
fund to the sinking fund, and are an
outstanding past due obligation OF
which the treasury should in some
way'be relieved.

which the books, records and &C
