lance at different points.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
VIII Probably Resume Operations on
Monday Morning as Usual.

The Board of Education will meet
this evening in connection with the
Board of Health and action will be
taken in regard to starting the Pub
lie Schools on next Mon lay. 1t is
thought that the school will start.
In case no other action is taken
the schools will resume. The order
as passed was to stop them for two
weeks. This period will expire on
Monday. 1t is thought that there
will be no danger in starting them
as there are few if any cases of the
disease in town.

TRY THEM.

Some one with a thought for
others, and who has evidently had
considerable experience, recon-
men Is the following resolutions
for Christmas shoppers
To buy no present that you
cannot afford.
To give no present that you
would rather keep yourself.
TO send no present that might
as we'll be labeled at once r. R.
"receive and reciprocate." "
To make up your mind as far
as possible what you want to buy,
and about how much you can
spend, before you enter the shop.
To keep your temper-always.
To observe the law of suitability
in the giving of presents; why
send the poorest of your friends
fifty-cent present, and almost
break yourself by spending as
many dollars for a gift for the
woman whose life is a regular
cake walk of luxuries?
To remember that children
never forget their early Christmas
days, and it is worth a sacrifice
to make them so full of joy that
in after life the memory of them
shall be a precious possession
gliding all their childhood.
To bear in mind and never lose
sight of:
That the keynote of Christmas
is giving. not getting.
That generosity is false when
it is forced.
That barter and exchange are
not giving.
That Christmas will be truly
happy to us just in proportion
that we bring happiness to others.
That the very first Christmas
gifts of ali were laid at the feet
of a ch lid of the poor. i

Says the Arkansas Gazette:
"Probably one of the first
things to be done by the coming
session of the general assembly
will de to rehabilitate TO some
extent the old state house. Nearly
every sort Of furnishing is needed,
especially the mattings and car
pets in the senate chamber, in the
hall ways Of the upper portion of
the main building AMI the stair
ways. They are so badly worn
in some places that even the rats
decline to use them as a tenn
porary resting place. 1t would
take several weeks Of hard
beating to get the dirt out of
them. In places the plastering
has fallen and it has been i'm
possible to get out all the crushed
lime etc. There are places where
grain might be induced to grow
with a little water and attention

The determination OF Senator
Beveridge and a little clique OF
republican senators, of whom he
is the mouthpiece, to obstruct the
massage of the Omnibus Terrific
rial bill was again made evident
when the measure came up Tor
discussion in the senate. That a
considerable majority OF the mem
bers of the senate favor the ad-
mission of the territories to state
hood. in accordance with the
pledges,of the national platform
of both parties, is also evident
from the dilatory tactics which the
opposition is adopting and their
anxiety to prevent a test vote on
the bill. Senator Quay, who is
championing the cause of the ter
ritories, openly charged the oppo-
sition with obstruction measures
Their statement that sufficient
time had not been allowed for the
discussion of the measure he met
with the statement that the sub
iect had been under discussion
for fifty years. Many months ago
the house passed the bill and the
Senate Territorial Committee
had postponed making it's report
until the last possible moment.
In conclusion Mr.. Quay said, "lf
the republican party can lie to the
people about one plank in its plat
form it can lie about ALL" 1t is
evident that if the Senate ever
gets a chance to vote squarely on
the measure it will pass, but there
are many chances that it will be
defeated by parliamentary Chi
canery.
