the relative prosperity of the towns

of the majority, that Grand Junction,
is about the livliest and most thriv-
ing city on the road in this state.
That should be sufficient to encourage
most anyone, especially as it comes

have no object in misrepresenting the

Gold at Corydon.

"Is there gold underneath Corydonf''
is question which is agitating some Of
our people. 1t would appear SO from
late developments in boring for the deep
we'll of the E. A. Rea Co.
Saturday at depth of over 400 fest
this drill brought up quantities Of tough
blue clay filed with pieces of some me-
tallic substance from the size Of a pin
head up TO six or seven times that Isizs
which looked very much like pure fres
gold. The usual tests were applied and
the substance stood them, even to tho
acid tests, and the impression prevails
that it is in reality gold.
We are not sufficiently we'll informed
to hazard en- opinion as to whether il
would ever pay to mine it at that depth
but there seems no doubt that gold does
exist in the strata in which they ara
boreing. .-Corydon Democrat.

to this is added the cruel action of her

HOW FUND MAY BE EXPENDED.
Superintendent Barrett Sends Out
Letter Regarding Normal
Institute Finances.

StdGo OupGlluCcQu0ug DdTIcCb mas pre-
pared circular letter to county SUPER
intendents and county auditors in
which he points out some common vic.
lations of the law respecting the use of
the normal institute fund. He tells in
what ways only the fund may legally be
used in the following statement:
The annual reports of the county su.
perintendents now on file in this office
show that in some counties it is a com.
mon practice to violate, unintention-
ally, We think, the law in relation to the
Expenditure of the normal institute
fund.
It should be known and observed,
First: No warrant may be drawn in
excess Of the amount of institute fund
in she county treasury.
Second: All bills must be signed and
sworn to by the party in whose favor
the order is made and verified by the
county superintendent.
Third: All disbursements of the in
stitute fund shall be by warrants drawn
by the county auditor, who shall draw
said warrants upon the written order of
the county superintendent, and be for
no purpose except for services rendered
or expenses incurred in connection with
the institute.
The practice of paying lecturers from
the institute fund for addressing teach
ers' associations is clearly violation of
law. We are required to hold also that
the institute fund may not be used to
pay assistants secured by the county
superintendent to aid in conducting ex.
aninations or grading manuscripts. The
examination is no part of the institute,
and anyone employed to aid in con-
aucting the same should be paid by the
county in the same manner as others
Ge who assist In general county work.
A voluntary association Of teachers is
not an institute in the legal sense. The
|1nstitute must in all cases be conducted
Tor at least six working days, and be ap-
proved by the superintendent Of public
INSTRUCTION.
Mr.. Barrett is also sending out 4 cir.
cnlar letter to boards Of supervisors, In
which he calls attention to the fact such
boards should make settlement on the
[frst Monday in January Of each year
with the county superintendent the same
!. rs with other county officers. Attention
| Is called to the advisability Of checking
up the record books and other property
belonging to the superinteudent's Office.
"The county superintendent" says Mr..
Barrett, "has large power and equal re-
sponsibility. We bespeak for him your
hearty support and encouragement in
{ Esvery right endeavor to advance the
good OF the schools. We are confident
that fair and liberal treatment from you
will be compensated by increased effort
and greater usefulness on the part Of
the superintendent"

my Friends From Arkansas"

MIR. Sherman thinks is his .best and
brightest play. He THINKS so because
it has strong plot to it. Not just
slender thread of story to hang the
dialogue and the characters on; but a
plot strong enough to keep our interest
in his people alive, while he tickles our.
ears with his dry and scintilant wit,
and pleases our analytical faculty with
the quaint humor and the genuine
pathos; and above all, the reality of
his character drawing. The plot is
pretty one. The actions are lively and
the situations are. sensational; that is,
they have in them more of the human
emotions which interest the human
heart. Mr.. Sherman has deliberately
tracked the human to it's lair, captured
it, dragged it forth and determipedly
put it into his play. The name of the
play Immediately suggests the idea that
lit is a picture OF human life in certain
locality. 1t is the scene.of an Arkansas
farm, and every character is true to
nature and not overdrnwn. Mr.. Sher-
man has considered the carving of the
modern audience for dramatic action,
and with that view be has determined
to make "My Friend from Arksnsas'
one Of the best and strongest comedy
dramas ever presented on any stage.

NANT CHANGE OF VENUE.
Matt Hunters Attorneys May Ask
for Trial of Case In Another
County.

A Decatur county paper Of last week
stated that 1T was expected In legal cir
cles that the case Of Matt Hunter, who
has boon granted new trial by the
supreme coart, would bs taken to De-
casur county for trial, and the article
tiatsd further that il was not likely chat
the csss woald be tried again In Ring
gold eeunty.
Nething definite has baen givan out
as yet by the attorneys for Hunter as
to che method that will be adopted by
them in tho new trial. It is altogether
likely, however, that Judge Parrish will
be asked to grant Hunter change of
venue when the district court meets in
Mt. Ayr in February, However, if a
change Of venue is granted, Is is smother
question in which county the case will
b. taken for trial. It will not be tried
III Decatur county unless the court SO
directs. it being question left entirely
within the discretion Of the court to de-
termine where the case will be tried.
1t has also been limited that there
may be some new and material evidence
introduced in the trial the next time,
but the attorneys on both sides Of the
case are noD.committal on this subject.
In the event that the case Is taken to
another county for trial the costs will
probably reash three thousand dollars.
If tried in this county the costs Will be
much less.-Mt. Ayr Record.

STOP TRAIN OF COAL
Desperate Citizens Of Arcola, ILL.,,
Appropriate 16 Car Loads
of Fuel.

st. Louis, January 10.-A special 60
the Republic from Arcola says:
The coal famine, which has paralysed
business here for over week, is broken.
An Illinois Central coal train, consist.
ing Of l6 cars, bound for Chicago, stop.
ped here today and was Immediately
stopped by the citizens.
The Central company was notified
that the coal would not be allowed to
be moved out of town, and the local
agent was offered the money for 1t,
He telsgraphsd to headquarters and
they refused to sell, wLereupon the
train was Immediately confscatsd.
Active in the party we're the pastors
OF the Presby terian and FREQ Methodist
churches, the presidents Of the banks
and one policeman. Each load was
weighed and a strict account kept in
hopes Of making q settlement With the
owners.
+ Great excitement prevailed.
When the train stopped crowd of
several hundred persons wero seen
about, clam oring for coal. A consulta.
ton was held, and S. L. Woodward
proprietor Of the eloctiic light plant,
rendered the Illinois Central money for
the coal on behalf Of the people. This
was refused. By this time The mora
desperate had climbed into the cars and
were loading their wagons, Colonel j..
Il. Beags president Of the First National
bank, acted as marshal Of the day, and
endeayored to keep the wagons in line.
Many influential citizens were promi.
nent In the raid.
For some reason the local dealers
have hesn unable to got coal for the last
month, and fully ono-half Of the people
in town wore oas of fuel. This oondi-
sien made them desperate, and persons
Of all classes were glad to avail thea.
selves Of this opportunity and aided in
the confscation.
Tonight the wagons are still hauling,
but out Of the entire train load there
now remains only little more than one
car. This will be hauled before the
wagons stop,
Eight coal dealers of Creston are
threatened with criminal proceedings,
under the statute defining conspiracy,
unless the present high price of coal,
which is SIS per ton, is not materially
decreased at once. All fall coal has
been from SO cents to s1.25 ton high

ther from the mines, but no evidence of
combine or union of the dealers was
discovered until Saturday, when the
mines cancelled orders from R. 8. Will
liams, an Independent dealer, telling him
that the coal dealers association Of
Creston, to which he did not belong,
objected to their selling him and it
would ruin their trade in Creston did
they do 80. Tho letter has caused gen.
eral indignation and much talk of legal
proceedings against the big eight coal
