ADVANTAGE OF
 KNOXVILLE SCHOOL

The teachers of Arkansas who are thinking of attending summer school this summer can find no place more desirable than the Summer School of the South to be held at Knoxville. Those in charge have provided for a faculty of the most distinguished edu- cators of the country, 93 in number. The location of the school is desirable as Knoxville is one of the healthiest and most picturesquely situated cities in the South. 2,OoO from the South attended this school last summer, and fully as large an attendance is ex- pected this year. On account of the cheap railroad rates, am sure Ar kansas will be well represented in this school this summer. b qJ1

Senator Clark Awaits End,

Butte, Mont. April 23- While
his relatives and close business
associates here will not talk for
publican, it is believed generally
that Senator W. A. Clark is very
sick man.
1t is said that he is getting his
affairs in shape for the end. He re
Gently formed the company that is
to manage all of his real estate hold
ings, exclusive of his mines, and it is
expected that similar company will
be formed to take over all his mines.
Besides his heavy investments in
mining, sugar plantations, and rail
roads, Senator Clark also owns four
daily ne gsspapers-the Butte Miner,
the Helena Independent, the Great
Falls Tribune, and the Salt Lake
Herald
The Senator's wealth is rated all
the way from $50, 900, 600 to $780,
600, O0O-probably 100 600, 900 is
nearer the mark.
His direct heirs will be his two
sons, G. W. Clark and w. A. Clark,
Jr.; and his two daughters, Mrs.
Culver and Mrs. Morris, and grand
son, W. a. Clark ILL.,, son of w. A,
Clark, Jr.
His mother and sister and
brother also are living. w. A.
Clark, Jr, is the only one of his
children living in Butte. His other
son resides in San Mateo. Cal, and
his two daughters live in New York.
1t has been reported in Butte for a
year or more that w. A. Clark, Jr.,
has become enstranged from his
father.
It is not believed, however, that
the difference between father and
son would lead to the extreme Of the
Senator forgetting him in his will.
If Senator clark purposes to make
any public requests he has not
taken the public iuto his confidence.

AIvord, Antt-Jenklns, Gets 1t In
the Neck.

Republican caucuses were
held throughout Bayfield, county
Tuesday night for the election Of
delegates to the county conven-
ton which meets at the court
house this forenoon, Owing to
the preponderance of Jenkins
sentiment throughout the city
all attempts to secure anthem
kins candidates for delegates
failed in all wards except the
first where E. G. Alvord offered
himself, and received four
votes to fifteen for e. Bryan,
who was the Jenkins man in the
ward. Jenkins men were elect
ed throughout the county, and
the convention this forenoon will
likely be d very harmonious and
brief affair. The following
named were elected as delegates
from this city: First ward, E.
Bryan; second ward, d. W. Corn
ing; third ward, O. A. Lamor-
eaux; fourth ward, John Eros
eth; fifth ward, Thomas L. Duke
low; sixth ward, l.. N, Clausen;
seventh ward, David Hedlund;
eighth ward, Henry Lahaie.
Jenkins will likely have the vote
of every county in the district
with the exception of Barron
county, which has delared in fa-
vor of Mr.. Louis Larson, a home
man.

Water Company Position

There has been considera BILE talk
during the past few weeks regarding
the proposed purchase of the water
works plant by the city; and the
question has been raised from time
to time as to whether the time had
not elapsed for making the purchase,
and it has been generally held that
under the franchise the company
could not be forced to submit to an
appraiselnent or make q sale for five
years more. In view of the talk to
this effect aud following the action
OF the last town board in passing a
resolution providing for the apprais
al, the Water Company has no; Fl d
the city authorities that if they wish
to purchase that all question as to-
the right of the city to notify or act
in the matter would be waived, or in
other word~ the COMPANY have sad
to the city that if they wished to
purchase that the company is ready
to SELL The water company will
place no technical objection in the
way and have announced to the CITY
officials that they will meet the citv
and sell the property if the city real
ly wants to buy,

Rockefeller is Angry.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 22.-John
ID. Rockefeller is credited with hav-
ing been stung into defense of his
business methods. Smarting under
the attacks made on the Standard
Oh company by Ida NJ. Tarbell' S
articles, ne has caused the publica-
ton OF book called "The Rise and
Progress of the Standard Oil Com
pany. - 1t was written. by Gilbert
Holland Mon tague and published by
Harper & Brothers.
Nearly every preacher in this city
has received a copy of the book, and
it is said that every minister in the
United States, Of whom there are
100, 900. will receive a free copy for
review.
There is not a word in the book
about Miss Tarbell, The preface
gives the public to understand that
the work is a compilation of papers
previously published in Harvard
university's Quarterly Journal of
Economics and that their publica-
ton in book form was con templated
) ears ago.
But for the wholesale free list "The
Rise and Progress of the Standard
Oil Company might have deluded
the critics into thinking that it was
an independent contribution to
current literature. It admits many
of the content ions of Miss Tarbell In
a chronological way. 1t poses as a
history, not an ex-parte statement,
The Standard Oil company is insidi-
ously made to appear the victim of
circums tances and large share of
The blame for it's misdeeds is visited
ON the railroads.
'The oil business, says Mr.. Mon
tague in his preface, sic its early
phase was the reflex of prevalent
railroad methods. The attempt to
Judge the situation without first as
pertaining the standards set by the
railway management of the time is
not merely unfair; it is subversive
of all the historical accuracy.
The author then plunges into his
history and endervors to justify each
step in the rapid rise of Mr.. Rookie
feller's enterprise by explaining
that he was business man and did
just what any othea business man
would have done in his position--if
he could. He got the best rates he
could on the railroads and drove
the sharpest bargins in all his deals.
It was his superior brains and per-
haps later his superior capital which
won for him the financial prestige
he now enjoys.

COWie Again in Limbo.

A dispatch from Waukesha saws
that Fred G. Cowie has been arrested
on the charge of forging promisory
note Of $3.50 and also for having
forged an endorsement on a note for
$495 30 The name forged is that of
DR.. John A. Rice, of Merton. Rice
is father-in- law of Cowie's. The
two men operated in Bapield county
at one time. Rice was at the head
of Bayfield, & Western railroad and
Cowie was at Bayfield, as manager,
Rice is an old man and rather feeble.
He would send orders for certain
things to be done by Cowie and
would taen coun tramand all orders
and notify othel parties interested
to have nothing whatever to do with
Cowie. Cowie was arrested at the
instance Of Senator Sabin for pre-
venting the completion of the Bay
field & Western railroad on time.
but was afterwards realized, He
fought Sabin throughout and was
quite friend to the labocers on the
lire. The trouble between Cowie
and old Doctor Rice is likely the re-
suit of another family row, one OF
many IL which the two men have
been principals for many years.
Cowie is an ex-detective, and has
won good deal of notoriety.
