REV. JOHN R. MATTHEWS AT
ASCENSION EPISCOPAL
CHURCH.

When this man of God came on
his first visit to Frankfort, in De-
cember, 1903. he was not known
to our people For this reason
some did not hear him preach
until the last day or two Of his
stay. and many did not hear him
at all.
Rev. A. B. Chinn, rector of AS
cension Church. has arranged to
have him hold another series of
meetings, beginning Monday,
April 18th, and no doubt all who
had the pleasure of hearing him
before will gladly avail themselves
of the chance to listen to his clear
instructions on the Holy Book
from day to day.
Mr.. Matthews is an experience d
and thorough student of the Bible
and has a remarkable faculty for
making it plain to others.
We heartily commend him and
his important work to the people
of our community.
We are asked to state that met t.
ings will he held at 4 80 and 7:30
p. m. at the Episcopal Church.

agreed upon. and recovery being
had upon their bond for $4,000,
in Mason county, State Superin-
tendent OF Schools Fuqua called
upon them to renew their bond,
which the company refused to do,
thereupon the superintendent
issued the following circular to
County Superintendents:
Frankfort, KY April s, 1905.
THE Court of Appeals, having
affirmed decision of the Mason
County Circuit Court against the
American Book Company by
which Mason county gets a judg-
ment for 10000, the full amount
of said companv's bond under and
by authority of which said Amer
ican Book Company secured adop-
tion of certain text books for use
in the various counties of this
State. under the former county
adoption law, sections 80 and 81
of the old school book law, the
same being sections 4423 and
1924 of the Kentucky Statutes; ;
and as said American Book Com
pany refuses to execute a new
bond for the continuance of the
said county adoptions of it's text
books now under contract in GER
tain counties (unexpired county
adoptions), you are hereby noti-
fed it will be unlawful for the
common schools of this Common
wealth to continue using or to
permit to be used any of the text
books published by the said Amer
lean Book Company on any such
county adoption contracts. as all
such county adoptions are for
feited by said company by its re-
fusal to execute a new bond for
the continuance of such county
Gdoptions, the provisions of the
law relative to such county adop-
tions being as follows:
Upon the failure OF refusal Of
any such publisher or person to
comply with the provisions of this
act within the time herein speci-
fled, the textbooks of such pub
Usher or person selling the same
shall be removed from the COM
mon schools of any and every
county by the county board
thereof in which the same have
been adopted. (Kentucky Stat
utes, section 4424.
1T will. therefore, be required
of all counties having such con-
tracts for textbooks published by
American Book Company to dis
continue their use on and after
this date, and substitute for such
books the corresponding books of
the State Uniform Series. The
penalties for using other books
than the State series, except such
as are under legal contract, are
upon the County School Book
Commission and teachers, the
former being liable to a fine of
from 800 to $500. and the latter
(teachers) can not draw salary
while using other books than
those under legal State or county
contract. This applies only to
publications. of American Book
Company, at present. Other suits
are pending against other COM
panies and you will be advised on
the conclusion of these.
1.-The Court of Appeals holds
that only one recovery can be
made against any one company,
and such recovery shall be for the
full amount of the bond. Mason
county has been awarded the
amount of American Book Com
pany's bond and other suits
against it will be useless.

STREET RAILWAY COMPANY
AROUSES UGLY FEELING.

On Saturday last employees Of
the Frankfort and Versailles Trac-
tion Co. came very near causing a
riot. Under orders of the road
officials they proceeded to cut
down three of the handsome shade
trees in front of the City School
buildings, ON Second street. be-
cause they interfered with the
erection of their trolley wires on
the extension of the road to the
West Side.
So soon as the fact was known
quite umber of prominent citi-
zsps. among them the President
o the Board of Education, and
n arly every member of the Board,
a d the Superintendent. of
Schc OILS, assembled and ordered
the men to stop the trespass.
tt employees of the road were
reluctant to obey, but the demand
was enforced by several officers of
the law. and these other dete, =
mined gentlemen, who told them
that if they attacked another tree
there would be trouble in t. Q
land"
The matter was at once taken
into the courts, warrants being
sworn out against the men and
officials of the company. and CON-
plant made to the grand jury.
The feeling aroused was a very
ugly one, as these trees had been
the object of especial care upon
the part of the Board of Educa-
tion for some thirty wears.
1t is peculiarly unfortunate for
the company as they are Just
beginning the work of extending
their lines.

Superintendent of Instruction Davidson
is called "A Roosevelt in Education" and
this Is the fine picture drawn of him:
IL example is better than precept, a most
effective lesson in business can be had from

your business, arranges for your interview

throughout the interview with the exceed
ingly busy superintendent. Here in Mr..
Davidson, Omaha has found an executive
OF high order, a scholar OF reputation and
a modern business man Of ability seldom
found outside OF the high-salary chairs
in large commercial concerns. The COM
binatiOn is a pleasing one with which TO
