VIII Make No Mistake.

THE TRIBUNE is pleased to learn that
the friends of G. Lester Littel of Cul-
! bertson are insisting upon his being
a candidate for county superintendent
of public instruction for Hitchcock
county.
Lester is a fine young man of excel
lent parts "a thorough gentleman OF
unimpeachable habits and an educator
and instructor destined to take a high
place among the leaders of Nebraska
schoolmen.
Commencing with the Bertrand high
school, he finished with honors with
the class Of 1902, McCook high school.
Since being graduated from the Nc
Cook high schools he has taken two
years in the Nebraska University, so his
educational qualifications are beyond
caVil or question.
His experience as a teacher, notwith-
standing he is a young man, covers
several years: Commencing with a
year in the country schools of Red
Willow county, he next served two
years as assistant principal of the Dor
chester public schools. For two years
thereafter he was principal of the
schools of Roca, and declined a third
year in this school, to resume his work
in the Nebraska University.
He vas dissuaded from this high
purpose and expectation at the earnest
request of many friends and admirers
in Hitchcock county, who regard him
as most promising material for the
position of county superintendent, in
which opinion The TRIBUNE also holds
affirmative views. While a Republican
in politics, we note that his friends
come from all political parties in Hitch,
cock county, a particularly creditable
fact when we consider the non-partisan
character of the office.
Mr.. Littel belongs to the progressive
school of educational men, and it would
be his invincible purpose to place
county's public schools in
the forefront among the counties of
the state. The people of Hitchcock
county will make no mistake in nomi-
and electing Mr.Littel to the i'm
p~ortant Office of county superintendent.

/ would ask that these expense ac-
counts be compared with the expense of
all the different officers of the county
for the last twenty years, and as to the
G. A. Rogers claim, it has been stated
by Mr.. Rogers hat Mr.. Morlan advised
him to fix up the filings, the records
show Mr.. Reeder present when almost
every claim was allowed, and it is his
duty to advise the board when they pass
on claims they have no legal right to al
low and for such service the tax payers
pay him $500 per year. As t. the Rod
gers claim he insisted we had a right to
allow this bill, that it was not his, Rod
gers duty to do this work-without pay.
In concluding l wish to say, and with
out fear of contradiction, that had |
voted Yes for every bill before the board,
this action would never have been start
ed and as l have no apology to make to
any man on earth for hat actor, and
would vote the same way again even if !
knew another action would be started.

tied whether the road will pass through Brinkley or Wheatley, but this question will be decided on with in the next few days. It is thought by those who are familiar with the coun- try that Wheatley will be a more de- sirable point than Brinkley, and there fore they are inclined to the belief that Wheatley will get the road.
 The construction work between Helena and Lexa is progressing favor ably, and almost mile of roadbed Is completed. Fifteen more teams and a large number of laborers arrived last week from Mississippi and were put to work with crew that is grading through the Pillow place. The ques- ton as to how the road will come in tc the city has not yet been settled, but it is possible that the Iron Noun tain track will be used from the Pill low place, distance of about three miles.

GRAPHIc PINE BLUFF
THE GEM" OPENING
 WAS BIG SUCCESS
crowds Visited the New Confectionery store Yesterday and Were High. ], Pleased With the New
 Place.

The opening Of The Gen." the l beautiful new cigar, book store ana confectionery on Main street own ed by s. 4. Rosenberg, lasted through out the entire afternoon and evanina yesterday, and a large crowd of yisi- tors attended it. This was one of the most beautiful openings of a store of
 this kind that has ever been held in
 ehls City, and many preparations had been made by MT. Rosenberg to make his guests on that day enjoy them selves.
 In the middle of the aisle between the glass counters in the front of the
 store, there was a large bouquet of
 beautiful roses, carnations and other
 beautiful flowers frozen in a large
 block of ice, weighing about a hundred pounds. In the ladies' parlor in the rear of the store, beautiful flowers of every kind, which the season affords, Were seen in prOfuse abundance, and many other artistic decorations added to the attractiveness of the whole store.
 The fountain is large one, made entirely of marble, and is known as an innovation fountain. The fixtures throughout the entire store are of ma hogany, as we'll as the frame of the large mirror, which covers the wall.
 Dainty boxes of candy were given as souvenirs of the occasion to the ladies, and these as well as many other distinctive features of the open ing, will cause it to be remembered for long time by the people who at tended. All the employees of 'TnN Gem" loked after the wants of eacn visitor in person, and everyone was made to feel that he or she was more than welcome
 String music was also one of the many things which Mr. Rosenberg had furnished to make his guests en- joy themselves. Several musicians played throughout the entire after noon and evening in one corner of the store, in which had been placed sev- eral large palms and ferns, so that they were hidden from view.
 Mir. Rosenberg will manage '"The Gem" in person, and Willie Wilson has been placed in charge of the soda fountain, while A. N. Bloom will man. age the store conducted by MT. Rosen berg on West Second avenue.

CARL LEE GOES
 AFTER JEFF DAVIS

 to Stay.

Augusta, July 24.-After Represen- tatlve Elmo CarlLee had traveled 40 miles to Tip to be present and answer United States Senator Jeff Davis, the senator, claiming that he had to catch a train, left hurriedly after he had de- nounced CarlLee for voting for the Lee-Browning bill. Davis claimed that he had very sick daughter and prom ised Car,Lee he would come back to Woodruff county and stay on the plat form when CarlLee answered him.
 As Davis left the platform, followed by a few politicians, CarlLee called to him ard reminded him before the entire crowG tat Davis had never fac ed any man in a political debate. He further stated that Davis would not debate the Lee-Browning bill with any 15-year-cid boy in Arkansas on fair terms.
 MT CarlLee requested those in the crowd who had heard the sena- tor two years ago when he spoke in Tip, to hold up their hands, and quite number held up their hands. He then asked if he remembered how Davis had promised that if the boodlers were convicted he would let them lie in prison and rot be- he would pardon them. A good many remembered it. The represen- tative then declared that in Davis message he had declared to the house, that if F. o. Butt remained in the penitentiary six months and no other boodler had been convicted if he was gocernor, he would par don him. CarlLee thought the governor was responsible for the pardon of the only boodler convicted He declared the senator blatan, demagogue who would take the un'

MAY BORROW
 FOR SCHOOLS
Special Districts Within Corpora. tiOns Have Extensive Authority.

Little Rock, Ark, July 24.-School directors can borrow money in ex- cess of the amount specified in any special bill passed by the legislature, for the benefit of any particular school district, if that district is composed of a city. This, in few words, is the opinion of Attorney General w. F. Kirby On this matter.
 Below is letter written by the at- torney general in reply to question Of this kind
 MT. J. w. Cofiield, Fordyce, Ark.
 Dear Sir: Yours of the 9th inst, asking my opinion as to whether or not the school directors of the Fordyce special school district, after having borrowed the $15,OO0, which they were authorized to borrow by special act of the legislature of April 16, 1905, may borrow more money and mort gage the property of the district to secure it, the needs of the district re- quiring it, is received,
 eff your district is the town Of Fordyce, organized into such regular special school district, would say that it may borrow as much money as is needed for the erection and equip ment of school buildings, or the re- newal and extension of any evidences of the indebtedness, under the act Of May 9th, 1905, acts of 1905, page 651.
 This is a later and general law aH- thorizing all special school districts in Arkansas to borrow money and mortgage the property of the school district fer such purposes as are ln- dicated in it, and yours may do so' the same as though there had been no special act.
 "The mere fact that the legislature passed a special act authorizing your board of directors to borrow $l5,000 did not take away their right nor pre- clude them from exercising the pow CT given by such general act
 The holding is of more than ordi- nary interest, and will probably result in the building of many more school houses throug ghout the state.
