PRESIDENTS BEAR
HUNT GOES ON.

Smedes. Miss, Nov l7.--Rain which
began falling last night was still com
ing down this morning and the pros
pect for resumption OF the bear hunt
from the camp on the little Sunnower
river was not nattering. The rain was
not a pelting downpour but a steady
old autumn drizze which the weather
wise hereabOuts predicted might con-
tlnue for several days The chances
are that the presidents fun is spoiled
at least for today. The manner in
which the colonel stuck TO the trail
on Saturday long after the others had
abandoned the chase and returned 10
camp carried for him the most pro-
found respect OF Holt Collier. who said
he was powerful game and persls-
tenous hunter" Despite this tribute to
the presidents pertinacity II Is not be-
lieved here that he would start out IN
such weather. II he is forced to remain
In camp today he viii be fairly com
Portable. On his hunting expeditions
he Is accustomed 70 roughing 1t In all
kinds OF weather. A good tent over his
head to keep him dry Is more than he
has had in the old days when he was

In the Rockies. Tomorrow night the

leave here In time to reach Memphis

A STRAW HAT TELLS
OF A SAD SUICIDE.

Leayenworth, Kas., Nov. l7.-In the
Missouri river near here a woman's
straw hat with the following note has
been found
"To Whoever Finds This-Please
take the clothes to Journal office and
they will send 1t to AS North Twenty
sixth street, Lincoln, Neb. This Is to
mark the place where l. Mrs, Al
Sechrest and baby, have gone to rest
In the deep Missouri"
The woman's family lives in Lincoln.
The hat was identified by a restaurant
keeper in this city who says its owner
ate several meals at his place last
week II is believed that Mrs. Sechrest Is
the wife of Frank Sechrest, who was
killed by DR.. Zorn al Kansas City three
months ago in a dispute over board
bill. The river Is being dragged.
Mrs. Sechrest was supposed to have
started for Kansas City to testify In
the Zorn case, which was set for to-
day. The killing OF Sechrest by Zorn
was a sensational affair, and Mrs. Sc
chrest was the states principal wit
ness.

PRIEST. NEWMAN
ON THE SCHOOLS
Challenges Proof Of the Charge
That Standard Has Fallen,
SYSTEM is In HIGH REPUTE
One OF the Very Heat In the Land and
30 Acknow lodged Duties and
Work Of Members.

Il challenge the proof Of the state
ment," said President Newman OF the
board Of education today, that the
standard of our schools has fallen. 1t
Is not true in whole or In part II Is
damaging and malicious and made for
dishonest purpose The fact IS II
cannot be proved; and for the reason |
have just stated--it is not true"
Speaking further upon school mat
ters President Newman expressed the
hope that the forthcoming school cleo
ton would be kept entirely out Of poll
tics, II 1t We're not he said he would
not consent to enter the race FOR an
other term. He also expressed himself
IN strong English on the continually
mooted question Of running rich men
for membership on the board ON the
ground that they can afford 10 give
their time without pay, THE truth OF
the matter Is, he declared rich men
do not give their time to the schools.
They have SO many irons In the IRE
that they are kept busy looking after
their own affairs, and are often away
from the city weeks and occasionally
months at time. There has only been
one exception in all the years of our
present school system of a rich member
deyoting his time to the interests Of
the board of education. This exception
was John T.. Dooly. So | say the argu-
ment about a man being rich does not
count And another thing, take the
ma 10 10 Ia he a t1l
class very often, He fails TO attend
his meetings d great part of the time,
and failing he knows little of what Is
going on, What he gets he gets by in
direction and often grumbles and
growls because he doesn't understand,
And as to meetings-the complaint that
they have been held out Of the boards
own quarters, and that teachers do not
IND 1t practicable 10 attend them,
simply wish to say that thar objection
cannot be made TO hold good as regards
any Of the regular monthly meetings
Of the board Only committee meetings
and meetings Of the committee Of the
whole have been held on the outside and
they have been thus held for the con-
yenience of the members That is all
there is to that. A word more as TO
politics, repeat that II should have no
place in the schools and the way to
keep II out is 10 see that 1t does not get
