by the emperor to the Japanese
schools some fifteen years ago: BE
filial to your parents and afectionate
TO your brothers; be loving friends;
conduct yourselves with modesty and
be benevolent TO all. Develop your
intellectual faculties and perfect your
moral powers by gaining knowledge
and acquiring profession Promote
public interests and advance public
affairs. Ever respect the national con

 They We're occupying a house near New Flippin which had been vacant heretofore and had been there about d week, when last Friday while King had gone to water the horses leaving Sal mon in the building the house caught fire. King saw the build ing in flames when at a distance of half a mile and when he got back the roof was falling in It Is said that King stated that Sal mon was drinking and was unable to escape.
 Some think Salmon might have been murdered and the house  burnt up to hide the crime, others advance the theory that Salmon might become involved i'll diff culty with someone else whom he killed and set fire to the house and fled.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Carroll County Man Meets Death
 While Hunting.

News was received here yeSter- day that while out hunting Mon day in the mountains near Fair view, Burr Alderson slipped and fell off of bluff in such way that the gun he was carrying was discharged. The load took ef- feet in his right thigh severlng the femural artery from which he quickly bled to death. No one was with him at the time of the accident. Some parties heard the gun fire and heard him call few times but not thinking of anything serious paid no atten- tion to 1t. Alderson was 2 or B years old and had been married about a month. His sad and sudden death is a shock to the entire community in which he lived.
 A later report has 1t that AL derman accidentally shot him. self and tried to get to his home and had dragged himself nearly half mile through the snow in his pathetic effort to get where he could have loved ones around him in death. He was crawling the nearest way home which made 1t necessary tor him to fall off of the bluff where he was found dead.-Berryville Progress.

 Bryan was ushered into the cabinet room which was filled with people. The president was engaged in an adjoining room with Senator Proctor, but as soon as he learned that the noted Dem ocrat was in the cabinet room, went to him and grasped his hand cordially.
 Come in here,' said the pres ident, who piloted Bryan into his private room, where, joined by former Senator Jones, of Arkan- sas, they remained five or ten minutes.
 At the conclusion of the inter- view Bryan said to the newspaper reporters that his talk with the president had been cordial and satisfactory and they had discus sed several matters. 's1t IS a pleasure to commend his attitude on some things said Bryan. Not on all things, then" he was asked, No, of course not, y said Bryan.
