Superintendsnt's Report of Nogsies
Public Schools.

NoGALEs, Ariz., Oct 6, 1903.
TO the Honorable Board of Trus-
tees:-
| herewith submit for your con-
sideration the report of the Nogales
public schools, for the first month
|of the 1903-1904 term, which
opened on September Sth, and
closed October 4, 1903:
The oasis., 1903-10-10

the first month this year was IA
as against 107 for the correspond.
ing month last year. Thus while
we lost but four cases in tardiness,
we have gained 81 in the number
neither absent nor tardy.
Fifty-five names appear on the
Roll OF Honor for the month,
which indicates that of the IA
who were neither absent nor tardy,
fifty-fve, in addition to being per-
feet in attendance and punctuality,
had excellent or perfect deport-
ment, and that the average of the
daily recitations and monthly ex-
aminations was above 80 per cent.
This is in excess of the Roll of
Honor for the corresponding month
last year by fourteen. 1t may be
said, therefore, that the pupils in
the Nogales public schools are adj
vancing as time and general civili-
cation advance. 1t is a true saying
that each and every school, as
other powers for good. advances or
retards, since it is impossible to
stand still. Thus it is a pleasure to
state that our city schools are up
with the proce sion in advance
ment.
There is as good talent displayed
by the pupils as will be found any
where in the country, and it is
hoped that for the present month
more patrons will cooperate with
the board of trustees and the
teachers Tor a decided increase in
enrolment. Considering that this
is the first month OF the term, the
pupils generally have done most
excellent work.
There are but few schools in the
country the size of the Nogales
public schools that can boast of such
an excellent corps OF teachers as
your honorable board has given
me for co-workers for the present
scholastic year. While Arizona
has, generally speaking, excellent
schools, and far better than in
many of the states, it is safe to say
that there is not a city in the terri
tory that can boast of a more ex-
cellent corps of teachers than are
my assistants. And yet, these
same teachers are expected to do
better work this month, and so on
till the end of the year, than they
did the first month, since teachers
must be advancing or on the de-
cline with their work.
| trust that all patrons will CO.
operate with your honorable board
and the teachers for better atten-
dance and punctuality, and will
insist upon preparation of assigned
work at home.
BY the close of the present month
it is expected that the enrolment
will have reached four hundred.
Respectfully,
A. H. MCCLURE.
Superintendent.

The freight business of the Chicago, Gin

increased during the past year, especially
since the opening of the territory to the
north of Richmond. At times the freight
depot at Richmond is found to be too
small.
The Lake Erie G. Western ran a Sunday
school excursion from Cicero and Circle
vile to Lake Maxinkuckee Tuesday which
had thirty cars and 2,79i passengers. They
were taken on at less than a dozen places,
regular station stops not being made along
the line.
Train No. 3S on the Lake Erie & West
ern, with Engineer zimmerman in charge,
recently made record-breaking run that
is said to have lowered the short run rec
ord several minutes. The train was nearly
half an hour late when II pulled out or
Cambridge City for New Castle. The dis
lance is fourteen miles and the regular
time is thirty minutes, but Engineer Zim-
norman put the fourteen miles behind him
in just eighteen minutes and made one
stop. The lost time was all made up before
Muncie was reached.

private detectives failed to develop a clew
to the whereabouts of the jewels The
mystery was never solved. Last night WAL

of Clogap, and to-day he was arrested and
some of the gems were found on his person.
The police have not yet investigated how the
jewels came to be In the possession of Mrs.
Clogan, as is alleged, but an inquiry will be
made and~arrests may follow. Young Clogan
came to the city to-day to pawn some of
the diamonds which he had taken from the
chest at his home. The most valuable piece
in the stolen collection of jewels was ring
set with nineteen fine diamonds. IL was an
