The friends and neighbors of Mar

river west of town, was burned a
few days ago, have raised the sum of

TEACHER IS ARRESTED.
Lawrence Sims Charged with NAL
treating a Boy

Because Lawrence Sims. who teach
es school in district Is, about four
miles south Of Pauline, thoroughly
thrashed Ralph Peck, one Of his
pupils. the Iatter's father today swore
out in the city court a complaint for
the teachers arrest on the charge Of
assault and battery.
Sims came in today and presented
himself to the officers, and his case
was set for trial on next Saturday
morning.
Capt ] r. McNary, deputy county
attorney. prepared the complaint at
, the instance of W. r. Peck, the boy s
father. With regard to it he said to-
day: ssSims whipped the boy because
he said the latter wrote some obscene
words on a public bridge near the
school house with another boy. This
second boy said that the Peck young
ster had told him to do part of the
writing. This the Peck boy denied
when confronted by his teacher about
the matter. So Sims gave him lick
ing. not only for writing the stuff but
for telling a lie about it. The boy was
quite badly injured. His legs were all
black and blue and his back showed
marks Of the thrashing. He was sick
at the time and was made much worse
by it. IN fact was sick for ten days or
so after the trouble occurred. Sims
used a stick in whipping him. The
boys father swore to the complaint
and we made it assault and battery
The Peck boy Is only 10 years of age,
and it was unnecessary to whip him in
that way. Besides 1t was admin
istered for something done outside of
school; that has a big bearing on the
matter, too. The teacher has had it IN
for the boy, anyway"
Lawrence Sims, the teacher who is
made defendant in the case, was asked
to tell the story of the trouble. He
answered: ''Wait until next Saturday,
when the trial comes off.

about 10 years old. He wrote some

him. He is not injured in the least.

severe That is all I have to say about
the matter"

tributiOn of Spring Goods.
Confidence in the Future Con.
tinues Remarkably Bright.
YEARS WORK AHEAD,
Many Mills Can't Take More
Orders Before 1907.
Railway Earnings in Some Re-
spects Never Before EQualled.

New York, March 24.-R- G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Total distribution of spring mer-
chandise has received a check because
Of the heavy snowfall and severe
storms in many sections of the coun-
try, but some offset is noted in renewed
inquiry for winter goods, and there is
no interruption to the activity of ship
ping departments. Confidence in the
future Is remarkably bright and
the outlook would be far better than
ever before at this season If the fuel
uncertainty were removed. Manufacture
ing plants operate close to maximum
capacity in the leading industries and
it Is an evidence of no little significance
that many mills cannot undertake de-
liveries before 1907.
while there are extreme cases, it is
a common thing to ind production en-
gagged for several months in advance.
Mercantile collections are also more
prompt, except in certain parts of the
south, where cotton is still held for
better terms. Commodity prices are
slightly higher on the whole and the
building materials continue very strong,
structural work being abnormally
heavy for the season. Railroad earn
ings for March thus far surpass last
years by 81 per cent and foreign COM
MERGE at this port for the last week
shows a gain OF $2.697.o32 in imports
over the same period of 1905, while ex-
ports are practically unchanged
zone of the best features of the iron
and steel industry Is the steady demand
for steel rails. No decrease Is noticed
in the activity Of textile mills, pro-
ducers exhibiting persistent confidence
in the future. despite the irregularity
that is noted IN primary markets.
"A somewhat better tone In the hide
market was the result Of last week s
activity in leather. The foreign hide
market has developed some irregularity,
dry skins ruling fractionally weaker.
Recent heavy transactions in leather
irnDroved the tone of the market. New
England shoe manufacturers are re-
ceiving orders for fall goods from sales
men in the west and south, the demand
being chiefly for heavy goods.

the United States, against 255 last year,
and 81, in Canada, compared with 16 a

NO SPECIAL SESSION.
Practically settled That There VIII Be
None Now

While Governor Hoch- declines to
make any statement of his attitude in
the matter, it is almost settled that
there win be no special session Of the
legislature.
It might say" said the governor
this morning, that my mind is prac-
tfcally made up in the matter, but 1
doubt the wisdom of making any state
ment at this time.
'fWill you make a written announce
ment of your Dosition?"
when I do make a statement, re-
piled the governor, Il want to make 1t
with care, so that it can not be nisun-
derstood.'
the people who have talked to you
about the matter p
"I haven't talked to many people,
except the newspaper men" replied the
governor. People have the right to
petition. The petitions are coming.
That is all care to say about the mat
ter at this time
1t has developed that the petitions
are being sent out by H. II. Tucker,
one Of the officials of the Uncle Sam
Independent Oil refinery. With the
petitions, Mr.. Tucker Is sending q, cir
cular letter, in which he states that he
has sent out $4,000 of the petitions to
10, 900 different people in the state, and
that the object is to get 100, 600 sigma
lures to the petitions for the call.
There are now three petitions in the
hands of the governor The hrst 10
arrive was one from Scandal. headed
by A NJ Kimball, and containing 25
names. This morning one arrived
from Kinsley, headed by B. +. Tatum,
containing 60 names, and one from
Kansas city, Kan, headed by W. J.
Quinn. containing 10 names. One man
sent IN his two petitions blank.
The Uncle Sam OIL refinery people
say that the petition must be circulated
very quickly and quietly, before the
railroad attorneys and ''pin-head' re-
porters find out what Is going on, and
spoil the deal. The 'pin-head' report
ers, according to the circular letter,
will tear the special session to pieces.
and the octopus will pay them stipu-
lated sum per tear.
