itv in com merce, in industry, in finance, and in politics. The party cry in one presidential campaign is relegated to innocuous desuetude i'll the next. Nor IS this mecurial element wanting in the social world. Membership in the four hundred is by no means permanent. When the zenith is attained the downward descent is inevitable. The laborer is dissatisfied with bis wages, the employer with his profits. Even the school children strike because they want an increase of time in which to play or hand sOmer teachers.
 The spirit of unrest has right fully invaded the field of educa tion Formerly, the greatest censOrs of the puplic school were outside of them; now, their severest critics are the teachers themselves. The civil engineer constructs a new bridge across the stream in place of the old without causing the trains to stop for a single day. 1t has yet to learned whet- her the old bridges over the gulf of ignorance can be replaced with equal skill, so that there may be no delay to those cross ing over to the land of intel ligenCe. Fellow teacher, can you learn to construct this bridge by remaining at home?
 l trust that every teacher and county superintendent in the ter ritory will make an earnest effort to attend this gathering, and try to induce others to attend. Tn this way we can make it the most successful gathering that has ever assembled for educ ational purposes in Arizona.

Arizona Teachers
 Association Meeting. To County Superintendents, Tea
 chers and others interested in
 Education:
 The thirteenth annual conven- tiOn of the Arizona Teachers Association will be held in the city of Flagstaff on December 29, 30, and 31, 1904. It is hoped that every progressive teacher in the territory will improve of the opportunity of attending this meeting. A most excellent program has been prepared for the occasion and will be published in due time. Among the partici- pants in the program will be the foremost educators from the Uni versity, including President BabcOck, the two Normal schools and the leading city superintend- ents and high school principals from every section of Arizona. It is not a duty incumbent upon teachers to attend this convention for personal benefit alone, but for the good that would result therefrOm to the children in every school district in Arizona. Boards of trustees should and do expect their teachers to attend these annual gatherings and thus reap the rich harvest that they may instill better thoughts and high CT ideals into the youthful minds under their charge.

TO HAVE BIG DINNER
School Pupils Donate Foodstuffs to
Children at Bethany
Home.

The city schools will be closed to-
morrow and Friday for the Thanksgiv-
ing vacation. This will give the teach
ers and pupils four days holiday.
This morning there was a donation
of foodstuffs by the grammar grade
pupils for the children Of Bethany
Home, in South Rock Island. There
were potatoes, flour, crackers, turkeys,
chickens, fruit, etc., and it seemed as
if every pupil brought something. This
afternoon wagons were sent around to
collect and deliver the donations at
the home. where the children will have
a great Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.
Today being the last day of the
school month, the pupils of the schools
were made happy by the granting to
all of the quarter holiday that custom
airy is allowed only those who are per-
feet in attendance during the month.
The teachers received their pay checks
this morning. two days in advance of
the regular salary day.

IS A FIERCE BLAZE
No Effort Made to Save Steamer Ten
Brock, Destroyed at
Cairo.

The Cairo Bulletin comes to hand
with the following details of the burn
ing of the Ten Brock heretofore told
of in The Argus:
The towboat Ten Brock, which
has been lying between the Big. Four
incline and the point several days
past was almost totally destroyed by
fire last night. The fire was discov-
cred about 10 o'clock and made n
bright light which attracted much at
tention, many people believing it to be
the lower portion of the city. There
was no one on the boat at the time
except the Waterman and he stated
that the fire originated in the cabin
and that it was caused by stove over
turning. The fire burned fiercely aL:i
no attempt was made to check it.
there being no means of fighting the
flames. Capt Spence of the tug Ari-
adne. responded to the distress signal
and went Immediately to the burning
boat. The Waterman had cut tL-
lines of the Ten Brock. and when
Capt. Spence reached the boat he
threw a line with grapple on the
end aboard and pulled the seethin.;
mass away from the barges which
were lying near. The boat was tf.rn
allowed to drift to the edge of the
water when the fire subsidized and the
tug Ariadne pushed her across to the
Kentucky shore and grounded her on
the beach.
when the boat arrived in Cairo
several days ago it was decided to re-
main here some time and the crew
was dismissed. Her owner. Capt. John
Mccartney, of Davenport. Ia, was here
yesterday, but left early in the morn
ing for Paducah on business. The
Ten Brock was built in 1882, at Bay
town. Mimi, and was valued at $4,000.
She only recently came off the ways
at some point on the upper Mississippi
river and was considered in first class
condition. For several years the boat
was used on the upper Mississippi
river but for some time she has been
towing ties from the Tennessee river.
1t is said that the boat was partially
insured

Plan to Entertain Merchants.

The directors and entertainment
committee of the Retail Merchants
association met Monday evening to
further their plans for the convention
to be held here the second month of
next year The matter of entertain
ing the men who will attend this con-
vention was the cause of much discus
sion. 1t was decided to tender them
a banquet the second evening, and
Chairman l.. Rosenstein and Secretary
w. H. Carstens of the association are
to meet with Manager F. e. Leavens
and make arrangements for the event.
They are also instructed to plan for
the entertainment. which will take
place the first night. Several sugges-
tons were made, but none of them met
with very strong approval. a theatre
or an evenings entertainment by the
musical Hoyles were discussed. but no
definite action was reached. 1t was de-
cided to rent the Turner hall for the
three days convention.

Buy 275 Flags.

The committee in charge Of making
arrangements for permanent decora-
lions of the streets of Moline to be
used for events of any note in the city,
has closed the contract with Fisk 4
Loosely to furnish 275 flags, and with
T A. Burtchell to hang the flags. The
cost will amount to upwards of $500,
and will be paid by the merchants,
who have already nearly subscribed
enough money for the expense. The
flags will be seven feet long. The idea
is to hang flags over either side of the
street and as close to each other as is
possible with the number ordered. The
flags will be hung on Third avenue
from Second street to Twenty-first
to Eighth avenues, and on Fifth ave
nue. from Twelfth to Seventeenth
streets Trolley or other wires will be
erected so that the flags can be hung
at a moments notice. The flags will
be equipped with clasps SO that no
them or taking them down This will
no doubt make one of the prettieSt
decorations a city could have on the
streets, and with the assistance of the
merchants in decorating their stores
for special events the city will certain
l. give an agreeable appearance to the
many delegates who will visit Moline
at the many conventions which will be
held here in the next IL months.
