REVENUE OFFICER
 NEED NOT TESTIFY.
Federal Court Settles a Vexed Cues ton in Case of Lamberton for
 Contempt.

Fort Smith, July 30.-Judge Rogers of the federal court yesterday morning handed down an opinion which set ties vexed question. A short time ago F. M. Lamberton, deputy reve- nue collector in the Third revenue division of this state, was summoned as witness at Bonneville and at Jas per for the purpose of proving that a number of persons charged with vio- lation of the state liquor laws pos sessed government tax paid stamps. He declined to answer questions as to whether or not he had seen these tax paid stamps in the possession of the defendants and was adjudged in con tempt by Judge Mitchell and sen fenced to pay fine of $25 and be inn prisoned AS hours.
 Judge Rogers in his opinion says that he is reluctantly obliged to order the discharge of Lamberton. The federal law prohibits the production of the records of the revenue office in any state courts and the court held that the information received by the deputy collector in the course of his business was also privileged.

EDUCATIONAL RALLY
 AT COTTON PLANT.

Cotton Plant, July 30.-Dr. Henry s. Hartzog, president of the Univer- sity of Arkansas, and Dr. Chas. Hill- man Brough, professor of economics and sociology in the same institution, addressed the citizens of Cotton Plant last night on the general subject of education and it's value to the people of Arkansas, illustrating their con vincing lectures with stereopticon views. This educational rally, largely attended as it was, has aroused great enthusiasm for the cause of higher education in this vicinity and is calcu- lated to do lasting good. Under the able and aggressive administration of President Hartzog the University of Arkansas is rapidly forging to the front among southern educational in- stitutions, enrolling last season a total of JOSS students in the literary courses alone.

.-. Son.

Columbia, Mo-, Aug. 1s.-The import
ance Of football as an educational factor
has been literally demonstrated at Mis-
souri, university. Something more than
one-fourth of the letters received at the
office Of the president from the parents
of prospective students contain inquiries
as to the football outlook for next season.
One of the applicants for catalog, pre-
sumably farmer, writes:
Tom has made full hand on the
farm for over three years now and was
1S last September. His mother thinks he
is too good for the pillow, and I think so,
too. We are going to give him chance
at your school. He wants to know about
the tigers, as he hopes to get a place on
the team. Please tell what the require
ments are when you send the catalog''
This letter is only one of number Of
similar communications recently received
at the office of President Jesse. They
leave no doubt that the question Of foot
ball has actually entered into the consid-
erations of parents debating the question
Of college education for their sons.
