C. A. Partridge believes in putting
in practice what he learned at the
meeting of the district boards at Viro-
qua. He has put fine net wire fence
around the school ground to protect the
trees and flowers that are planted on
the lot. Let others do likewise.
John Coady, employed by the Inter
urban Telephone Co., took out load
of telephone material. This company
is using dynamite to make the holes

There will be number Of changes
among the grade teachers of our city

and Westby have rendered her the
position as principal of their schools.
Miss Stromstad of the Sixth grade, who
was elected to another grade, resigns.
Miss Speth of the Fifth grade, resigns
because of desire to go west where
salaries are very much higher. We
understand that she already has ac-
cepted school, Miss Dumke OF the
Fourth grade, was reelected but has
resigned Mrs. Bold of the Second
Third grade has resigned and will take
years rest. Miss Schumacher of the
Second grade, has resigned to take a
similar position in her home town. Fla
via Doty will spend the summer study
| ing in Chicago university.
We are sorry to lose our teachers.
Miss Wilson has been in our schools for
eight years and has always given good
satisfaction. Some of the others have
been with us for two years and all
have certainly done good work as their
reelectinos were unanimous. Mrs. Bold
may return to us after her years rest.
Applications for the vacancies are be-
ing considered and some new teachers
have already been elected.

 It is we'll known that Prosecutor Rhoton has accumulated more evi- dence in connection with boodling in the last legislative session than he has yet made known and to have presented the case in full against Senator Gross is what was expected to require a disclosure that would suggest other prosecutions.

SENATOR GROSS
 WILL NOT APPEAR
Physicians Certificate of Disability Will Be Answer Made When Case Is Called at Perry-
 vile.

While an array of attorneys, wit nesses and court attendants were hustling out on trains for Perryville yesterday afternoon to be in attend ance at the trial of Senator Gross, which is scheduled to be called in the Perryville court this morning, the defendant was confined to his room at the Merchants hotel with no idea of being present, says the Little Roock Gazette.
 "I was unable to get out said Senator Gross last night, "and that is all there is to the situation. My physicians have sent a certificate of my inability. That will be the an swer when the case is called. I would like to be there, but it is im- possible"
 Senator Gross stated that he har several severe coughing spells the morning and that he was waited on at 1 o'clock in the afternoon by his physician, who stated to him that it would be unwise to endeavor to make the trip to Perryville.
 The charges against Senator Gross are said to be contained in two indictments charging boodling and perjury. Senator Gross stated during the past few days that he would try to get to Perryyille to answer the charges and that he wanted the trial finished. He has assumed an optimistic attitude as to the result, stating frankly that he had no fear of a trial and that he believed the sooner it was over with the sooner his health would improve
 Will Forfeit Bond.
 Perry, Feb. O.-Prosecuting At torney Rhoton arrived here this af- ternoon, accompanied by a coterie of witnesses, ready to enter the charges of boodling and perjury against Senator Allison Gross to- morrow morning. Upon arrival it was learned that Senator Gross would not be present to announce for trial, but in lieu of his presence would have certificate of physical disability to present to the court.
 eff Senator Gross does not come in time to answer the charge by the afternoon session of court I will ask a forfeiture of his bond" said Pros ecuting Attorney Rhoton when he heard the defendant was not com ing.
 This case had attracted the great est interest here, for it is generally understood that had it gone to trial the procedure would have necessi- tated the bringing out of much ev- idence along general lines, and might have been straw in the wind to show what the prosecuting attorney has up his sleeve in other

LOBE TO BE CANDIDATE
Present Deputy Will be a Candidate to Succeed Auditor Moore In
 Next Democratic Primary.

Although it will be more than year before the next democratic state primary, says the Gazette, there is al- ready much discussion regarding the probable candidates for state offices. No candidates have actually entered the field, but several are generally regarded as candidates. It is certain that John R. lobe, at present deputy state auditor, will be candidate for auditor to succeed Dr. A. E. Moore upon the expiration of the latters term. MT. Jobe's name has been frequently mentioned in connection with the office throughout the state, and since the opening of the legisla- ture the talk has become more gen eral. MT. lobe has been regarded for some time as probable candidate, but he has never made any definite statement until he was asked yester- day as to whether or not he would be a candidate. In reply to this question MT. lobe said:
 "It is too early to enter upon a campaign for an office to be filled in 1908. It is more than year until the next primaries will be held, and do not want to be regarded as sooner" in politics. However, I do not mind saying that it is my intention to be- come candidate to succeed Auditor Moore, and at the proper time, some months hence, will make formal an- nouncement in the usual way"
 We'll, we have known Johnnie lobe for twenty years or whereabouts, and We do not know of any man more de- serving than he or less pretentious. He is one of the best and noblest men we ever knew, and deserves anything to which he may as pire. It will cer- tainly be a pleasure to The Times to give him its hearty support, and we wish him success. Just jot it down, that if John is candidate, he ought to be and will be your next state auditor.
