ALL ROADS WILL ADOPT TWO
 GENT RATE

Chicago, June 22.-Passenger rates on all railroads of the United States will be reduced to two cents a mile. The lowering of the price and complete abolition of the old three cent rates will begin July 1.
 This was the decision reached in Chicago after long and heat ed discussion by the leading rail- road presidents of all the west ern and transcontinental roads. It was not a formal agreement, but is equally binding, for two big roads doing transcontinen- tai business are said to have ser- we'd an ultimatum to others that they would put the rate into ef- feet immediately.
 Following the meeting, officials of several of the roads admitted they had been forced to bow to public opinion and anti railroad legislation, They said no furth- CT fight would be made on the two- cent laws already passed, and that the roads would accept the inevitable.
 Among those who attended the meeting were President B. L.. Winchell of the Chicago, Rock Island 6 Pacific, and President A. J. Earling of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.
 The first reduction will be made on the Illinois rates. This is expected 70 be followed by gen. eral order from passenger traffic departments lowering the inter- state rates. The result will be that within a few months the travelling public can reach any point of the United States for two- thirds of the usual fare.
 Railroad officials also say it will mean the revival of keen competition for business among competing lines. Another con. sideration said to have forced tue informal decision to cut the rate was the impossibiIity of charging two cents in one state to conform to the law, and attempting to charge three cents when the pas senger crossed the line into an. other state

To the Directors of Carroll
 County,

have so many calls for first grade teachers that 1 cannot answer each separately and so l take this method of reaching all inquirers.
 First, l will say that the num- Der of first grades now out is greater than ever in the past, and the seeming scarcity comes not from a decrease in number of te2ch T ut from the great in- crease in the demand for such teachers.
 Many of our people also fail to fully comprehend the scholar ship required for first grade license. This certificate is with in two years of "Master of English literature degree in our colleges.
 Any one holding first grade certificate is well equiped for any ordinary business of life. Iwant also to say that from my personal observations at the Institute the first grades are entitled 10 full faith and credit. And what has been said about the first grade can be as truly said about the second grade. If any favors have ever been shown, these grades have not received their shaca of auoa favors.
 A No. ? certificate with high grades is g. od enough for any disttict ti.a5 does not run high school Gel artmeiit.
 AS tn .hird grades it can be said that they have not Eeen and will ret le handed cut rron,is- c 'as'y bl. that they vii be ful- ly cntit e to WI at their face calls for.
 In t'.is connection t can be sad t'at tie examiner has m 
 pets for whom he is hunting profitable jobs, but that all teachers are regarded as to their grades.

avail, and the fanity are heart broken.
 No citizen of Eureka Springs has enjoyed more general esteem than has Mr. o. M. Clark. He has been one one of the deacons of the M. E. church, South, for over sixteen years, was a mem- Der of the school board, of which he was the secretary; was the secretary of numerous lodges; was the guardian of a number of estates, and was one of the most trusted citizens of the resort.
 Mrs. Clark, her daughter, Miss Lucie, sons, Roland and Massey, have the respect and sympathy of the entire community in their trouble. Attachments have been issued for everything that Mr. Clark possessed here in the form of realty and securities, to cover obligations, and it looks as though they would be left with little of this worlds goods.
 The matter has been aired around the city for several days, but the Times Echo has refrained up to the present time from men tioning the fact, as the litor and MT. Clark's friends hoped that he would return. It was the opinion of many of the citizens that he had gene away to secure financial aid, and that he would shortly return, and number still hold to this idea. The fact that his family or friends have not heard from him, and that at- tachments for his property have been posted make it impractical al for us to refrain longer from making this announcement.
 Members of the fraternities, ot which MT. Clark is a member, have started representatives in search of him, and it is hoped that before many hours some tid- ings of his whereabouts will be learned.
 Capt. A. s. McKennon, oi South McAlester, I. T., an old friend of the family, and Judge G. J. Crump, of Harrison, have been in the city several days looking after the interests of the family. Just how serious the financial straits of Mr. Clark s affairs are, is not yet known, but 1t would seem that his obligations are quite extensive.
