SCHOOL PROPERTY IS SOLD
To the Christian Trustees for a
 House of Worship.

The public school board closed a deal Saturday, selling the school building and grounds to the trustees of the Christian church and the house will be re- modelled and converted into 8 house of worship for this denomi- nation.
 The consideration was $500, this amount covering the interests in the building held by the Green Forest Masonic Lodge, which owned and occupied the third story. It is understood that the school board will pay the Masons S1O0 for their right in the prop erty.
 It is, we understand, the pur- pose of the church people to cut the height of the walls down to sixteen feet and shape the build ing as neatly and completely as the means at their command will permit.
 The subscriptions to the church building fund are reported now to amount to little more than S400, and the committee is still hard at work and is confident of not only raising the money necessary to pay for the property but expects to secure enough also to cover expenses of repairing.
 It is not the purpose of the church people to begin immedi- ately the reconstructing of the house. That part of the work will not be taken up until after the busy season of the summer is over. The job will be begun, however, before another term of school is taught, hence the dis trict is out of any kind of building for school purposes and the as- surance of a new school building this year is made doubly sure.
 The deal is generally regarded as 8 good one for all parties con- cerned. The district has done very we'll to get the amount of money the property brought for it, since it had it to dispose of and the Christian people will by the purchase be enabled to secure a fairly good church house at very reasonable cost.

Notice to Teachers.

Notice is hereby given that there will be a public examination at Berryville Ark, Thursday and Friday, March 17 and IS, 1904, to ascertain the professional quaIifi- cations of persons desiring to teach in the schools of the East ern district of Carroll county.
 It will be necessary for all teachers desiring examination be- fore the annual school meeting to take the March examination as no private examination will be granted. The school law passed ty the last general assembly pro- hibits the ext.nllner from granting private examinations unless pub lie necessity demands it; none of these cases of public necessity can arise between the March and June examination; none of the public schools of the district are opened during that period, so all who do not appear at the regular March examination must wait till the public examination in June.

That Killing at Harrison.

The facts connected with the killing of Ed Locket by night watchman Sam Dennis at Harri- son on Tuesday night of last week are reported as follows:
 There had been dance at Bud Clifton's, which several attended, among them Ed Locket. Locket made trouble at the dance and made dire threats against MT. Clifton, whose guest he had been. On the way from the dance he said, "The slow wagon will pass through town tomorrow" Pass ing down Main street he and three other parties went arm in arm, forcing others off the sidewalk. Marshal Dennis politely asked the parties to break and go in twos, never thinking of offending any one. It appears that Locket ac- companied the women home and immediately returned to hunt Marshal Dennis. The Marshal saw Locket coming down the street, and, fearing trouble should he meet him, turned into Draper's restaurant. Locket was not to be so easily foiled. He rushed in and demanded in a very angry tone why the marshal had insulted him. At the same time he went for his knife, murdeous weapon over twelve inches long. It was bayonet off 8 gun belonging to one of the state guards. The marshal knew the desperate char acter of the man and was on his guard. Five shots were fired in about two seconds and Locket was dead.
 Locket came from Anadarko, Okla, during the trial of Wes Hudson at Marshall last summer. 7 He has repeatedly said that he would have been one who would have rescued Wes Hudson from jail at Marshall had he been con- victed for the killing ofCity Mar shall Keys of Jasper. He had repeatedly threatened the life of Sheriff Eoff as well as Marshall Freeling.

THE ST. l.. & N. A. K. R
Papers Would Raise Assessed Valuation and Reduce Rates.

It appears that THE TRIBUNE did not miss it's guess very far when we surmised some weeks ago that the newspapers would soon find things that need regu- lating about the management of the St. Louis & North Arkansas railroad.
 In marked copy of the Cass- vile (Mo.) Democrat just receiv- ed at this office, we find 8 vigor- ous agitation of the question of raising the assessed valuation of the company's property in Mis- souri. The Democrat declares that the road is a fine dividend payer and that the county court of Barry county should give the assessed valuation of the property healthy raise.
 In the Harrison Times of the last issue we also find an editorial concerning the passenger rates which it says are exorbitant. The Times says that the state railroad commission is powerless to handle the matter, as the St. l.. & N. A. is an inter- state road !, but that the commission is dis posed to render it's assistance to the people in having the rates properly adjusted.

THE Morrnons have made Salt

THE Mormons have made Salt Lake valley one of the most fer tile in the country. When they first took possession of it there was nothing but sand and sage brush. They harnessed the wa ter in the mountains of the neighborhood and brought it to the plains, and abundant crops resulted. Salt Lake city is worth a trip across the continent to see, and shows that benight- ed people can beat the most high ]y civilized communities in build ing up prosperous and beautiful cities. It required energy, self denial, hard work and persever- ance before great results were attained, but they possessed these in such abundance as to shame the more highly cultured.

fudge Whites P1a atfOrtu.

The platform upon which Judge White is making his cam paign, viz; that of good roads, is one so far reaching in effect, that the casual thinker can not com- pute it's importance, says the Eureka Springs Times Echo.
 The history of every nation pro- gresses in direct ratio to the de- velopment of her passways.
 The savages use trails, the original settlers of a country "blazed' their way by cutting chips from trees in their progress so that those who came after might tell the way to travel.
 Numbers of our country roads tothis day, are built along the original lines of these "blazed" trails without regard to what is the best construction.
 Public highways are of the greatest importance to a com- monwealth.
 A community advances or retrogades as the state of the roads advances or retrogades.
 More money is spent by farmers for vehicles and stock any other one item of farm expenditure.
 People for weeks during the winter months, stay at home be- cause the roads are too bad to att tend church or visit their neigh bors, till the weary faces the list less air, and the embittered spirit attest the vacuity of their lives.
 Judge White is taking his stand upon the issue of good roads has come out for all that means pro- gression and advancement of his county. It means far more than the first idea it conveys of saving loss of wear and tear of vehicles and making the marketing of farm products easier.
 It means in addition to this ad- vancement in every line, material mental and spiritual.
 It means better schools, it means more culture, it means, more of the great worlds influ- ence shining on all alike. Judge Whiteis no dreamer no visionary, his ideas are practical common sense ideas.
 He has the quick faculty to re- cognize needs and the judgement developed to know what causes produce effects.
 All who know c. e. White be- lieve in his ability and respect his judgement.
 He is no spouting enthusiast and he knows that upon the county judge rests 8 great re- sponsibility for the condition of the roads and he is willing to shoulder it. And the people hereabouts believe his capacity to perform what he un dertakes.

Story of Sensational Johnson
County Swindle Uncovered
at Iowa City
HAPPENED THIRTY YEARS AGO
Wealthy Farmers Narrow Escape
From Being swindied Out of $4,000,
Was Due to Bank Cashiers Insight
Into the Game Being Played-sent
For Confederate Assayest.
Special to Times-Rerublican

Iowa City, May 7.-Joseph Basch-
nagel, a mail carrier In the city, While
digging in the garden back of his house
found two gold bnick--the kind that are
for a song-and in SO doing discovered
the story of one of the most sensational
swindles ever attempted in johnson
county.
The story runs back thirty years
when two men, who claimed t, be re-
turning from the California gold fields,
stopped at the home of John Dila-
tuah. who was at that time wealthy
farmer During the course of the even
ing the men told him much of the
wealth which there was In the western
states and how they had been able to
amass a great deal which they were
carrying home with them.
But they lived dn the east and their
long trip had found them half way
there with nearly al of their ready
money gone. They had nothing with
them hut the gold which they had car
ried SD far, and IT was very possible
that they would have to sell this gold
before they could go any farther
Such was the story that they told. And
then they offered to sell the two gold
bricks to Mr.. Dilatuah for $4,000.
Their weight was So pounds and II they
had been pure gold they would have
been twice that much. Mr.. Dilatuah
considered the question and decided
that he would have an assayest work on
the bricks. Good" said the men we
will send for one we have heard OF In
Davenport. So they sent for one--a
confederate In Davenport and he
promptly pronounced the bricks pure
gold.
The, delighted farmer decided to buy
them at once and coming into the city
he went to the bank intending to draw
the money which at that time he had
laying there from the SAX, OF some
land a week ago. In the course of the
conversation with cashier he told OF the
bargain which he was goirg to get
And the cashier promptly refused to
cash the mans own check.
And when the angry man returned
determined to sue The bank and every
one connected with 1t, he found that
the gold diggers" who had heard of
his trouble in town, had fled. They
were never heard from again. Many
have since wondered what they did
with the gold bricks which they We're
