THE REFORM MOVEMENT
Some Comment Upon the Changed
 Conditions in Newark

To The Newark Journal:
 All the readers of The Journal and those who are acquainted with Newark, know that it has been known as a whiskey town, and that means tough place. Religiously, it has been a hard place. preached there as a mission ary of the Independence Asspciation in 1890 and 1891, I believe, before the M. k. Church house was ceiled. It was the only church house in town. and it was open for all, and has been ever since, as far as it concerns me. l, as well as my brethren, appreciate 1t, and 1 have always felt free in their house. 1 held debate of four nights when there with Elder J. B. Lashlee when there were only two or three Bap- lists in the town, consequently Baptist doctrine was little known. I preached there again as missionary of the h. dependence Association few years ago and organized the present Baptist church, so your readers could not eX pect anything else than for me to have at least some interest in any success Newark may have. either morally or religiously.
 Two years ago there was much talk about selling whiskey illegally in Newark, as we'll as Batesville. I wrote agaist it and said I could name six men in Newark who could make it so hot for the blind tigers that they would be afraid to sell branch water and call it whiskey. never have got to the point since to take it back.
 A good brother Methodist met me on your streets recently and said Bro. Martin I want to give you my hand on the stand you have taken against whiskey." He is living in your town and 1 do not suppose he would be ashamed to give to your readers his name. if he felt it neces- sary. You remember I got into con- troversy over the whiskey question through your columns: others joined in the agitation. and what have been the results? The Law and Order League began to work and kept up the agitation. What has been accomplish ed? Why, no man dares to go there with whiskey to sell. If he does. the people make it so hot for him he moves out the first opportunity. What has done all this? Agitation. That much 'las been accomplished, but what else? The recent revival, one of the greatest that has ever been held in the county, if not the largest. Why couldn't there be a successful meeting held a few years ago? The answer is easy. WHISKEY HAD RIGHT OF WAY.
 1 was told by citizen of your town that there had been two hundred or more accessions to the churches in New ark this summer. This came because of agitation. Then let.us keep up the agitation until Arkansas can take her stand with Georgia and Oklahoma. Let us keep it up until our state will be dry from center to circumference. May God hasten the time when that which is a curse to the world will be a thing of the past. 1 may say more later.
 Yours for truth and righteous.

Lord OF Albergaria in Portugal, with a
rich dominion, he held appointment to
the rank of Vice King and Governor OF
a Portuguese province in India. Then
1t was rumored that he had a large
stable of valuable horses and Kennels
In California which he would soon re-
move to Portland, and that he was pre-
pairing to take an interest in a large
wholesale business there. A Steam
yacht was limited at, but the smoke
from its stacks was never seen on the
coast, and it was presumed that it must
be lettering around the piers of the
New York Yacht Club.
Now that his affairs have taken more
definite shape. however, while Mil
lionaire Poulsen and Son-in-law from
maid are guarding the cornfield
through which or out Of which the
young cow is coming, and while
the Lord of Albergaria is waiting for
$500 from home to liquidate the over
due note, the eartists of the coast are
wondering who did paint the picture If

Raphael Weills SEVENTEEN birthday
was a gala day at the White House.
Well did not really reach the seventy
year milestone before today, but his
employees would not let the week pass

him with a rousing cheer. He thanked
them, saying how much he had always
appreciated their affection, and that 1t
was even more precious to him this
year than ever before. He did not like
the word employee; they were cowork-

DOG ATTACKS
CURT|CE E[BERT
BOY is BITTEN BY FEROCiOUS
BRUTE WHILE PASSING
WAGON ON STREET.

With apparently no provocation
and with no warning, a dog hurled
himself upon Curtice Ebbert, the 12-
year-old son of A. c. Ebbert, proprie-
tor of a barber shop at II North
near Main, yesterday evening, the
brute burying it's fangs in the boys
right arm which the. lad had thrown
out to protect his throat, straight for
which the brute had leaped.
H. H. Hungate and William Reeser,
the boys assistance and the dog i'm
mediately released his hold Medical
aid was Immediately procured for the
wounded boy, from whose arm the
blood ran freely. The lad was about,
today, and from appearances, the
wounds are doing nicely.
At the time of the attack. which
occurred at about o'clock, Curtice
was walking past the Schwabacier
store on Third street The dog was
standing near a wagon which was
hitched near the corner of Third and
Main streets
The dog, which is owned by James
Armstrong, of College Place, had pre-
viously attempted to attack young
Ebbert, when he passed it on his BIZ
cycle. He was then going home, 220
North Second street. Shortly after
wards he returned on foot and again
sidewalk.
The dog was apparently guarding a
rig which was tied to the hitching
rack on Third. According to his own
story Curtice gave the dog no ex-
cuse for the attack. Wher. the dog
sprang at him, he was forced against
the Schwabacher building and for an
instant the dog pinned him there wor-
rying his arm.
Shortly after Curtice had been taken
care of, Poundmaster Rolf appeared
on the scene and enticed the dog to
accompany him to the city pound. 1t
was reported this morning that the
dog had been killed.
Ebbert's injury consists of a badly
torn flesh wound. One of the large
veins was punctured and the flesh Of
the arm was torn open.

OFFICERS WANT
ARMY CANTEEN
SPANISH WAR VETERANS ARE
MAKING VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
THIS YEAR.

The fight to restore the canteen at
army posts is to be reopened with re-
newed vigor next wiLter. Plans have
been perfected for making a strong
appeal to congress to wipe from the
statute books the anti-canteen legisla-
ton. All prominent officers of the
army in their reports to the depart
ment of the army urges the re-estab-
lishment of the .canteen.
Aside from the great mass of these
reports. which may lot be considered,
to express a disinterested opinion, the
Spanish War veterans are sending
thousands of letters in behalf of the
canteen. The veterans last year
opened campaign which was Wig
orously prosecuted until congress re-
fused to amend the law. They have
prepared once again to make a fight
and expect to win this time with the
liquor dealers association, and disre-
puable resorts have combined to pre-
vent the establishment of the can
teen.
When some of the literature which
has been prepared is circulated the
w. c. T. T., which forced congress to
abolish the canteen. will put on its ar
NOR and enter the list in reputation
of some of the charges concerning the
interests which are alleged to be work
| ing with it. The veterans seem deter
mined to join issue, and lively times
may be expected when congress meets

ALDER STREET
FOR CARNIVAL
NEW MANAGER MEETS WITH
COMMITTEE AND GIVES MANY
SUGGESTIONS.

A the meeting of the carnival COM
mittees of the Commercial club last
night. it was decided to have no base
ball games in the afternoon. to run the
carnival at that time and to move the
location of the harvest festival.
X. L. Bernard outlined his plan Of
procedure in preparing the decorations
and other preliminaries for the street
fair. His principle suggestion was
that relating to committees. There
should be many committees, he thinks
to make the fair a success Those he
suggested which have not already been
appointed are: finance, attractions, in
vitation, booths, concessions, prizes
and awards, public safety, information
reception and a license committee.
Two balls instead of one are the
queens ball, will be given Wednes-
day night and will be an invitation
affair. The other will be given Friday
night and will be either a mask ball or
d country dance.
To help the police care for the
crowds. Mr. Bernard suggests COM
mittee of about Is to 20 members OF
the club to aid. By working with
North Yakima, Mr.. Bernard thinks
he will be able to get the attractions
at much better figure and get bet
Ter quality of shows. The fair at
North Yakima comes the week after
the one here and by offering two
weeks engagements, much better terms
e3h be obtained.
Parades will be given every morn
ing and the fair will run in the af-
lernoon as well as in the evening. In
View of this fact it is thought best to
not have the baseball tournament.
Two bands will be, engaged. The
Eagles band will be one of these and
'he other has not been decided.
The meeting last night was brim-
ming with enthuiasm and there is
every indication that the fair will be
one of the biggest successes in the
clty's history.
1t was also decided that Spokane
street is entirely too small for the
use of the club Alder from First to
Fourth will probably be the site sub
Sututed. Myriads of electric lights
VIII illuminate the streets and at every
corner will be an arch The decora-
Uohs planned are elaborate and the
"hole affair is being planned in the
most gorgeous manner.

NO MONEY At 50 CENTS FOR WAREHOUSES;

"If people would look at both sides
of a matter they would not be so quick
to pronounce Judgment" said a
we'll known warehouseman today. Let
me give you some figures representing
our side of the case and see if you do
not think there are two sides to this
warehouse controversy.
Take, for instance. warehouse
40 by 200 feet, with a capacity of 2000
TONS This warehouse would approx
of interest on the investment we
would count $500 interest, or per
cent. This is not as much as could
be made on other investments and is
conservative.
Taxes On this warehouse would be
about $50 a year. Insurance would be
$50 more. The actual cost of handling
is admitted to be not less than 35
cents a ton. Allow five per cent more
for repairs and we have a total of
1920 for the expenses of the warehouse
for one year. This includes interest
at eight per cent, repairs at five per
cent and the handling of the full ca
pacity of the warehouse at 35 cents
per ton.
"Now, granting again that the ware
house handles its full capacity. this
would be at a cost of 66 cents per ton.
Now where does the warehousemaI.
get off at so cents per ton. Seventy
five cents would only be allowing a

teachers, the advance has been heavier
ans ng from $500 to over $1,000 per
n tn.
n district No. 7 in the Copeland
neighborhood south of the city a salary
of $50 per month will be paid this year
where only $50 was paid last year and
the same advance was made in the
Hadly district. The Blue Creek dis
trict will pay $40 per month this year,
last years salary being $65.
In little district three miles north
east of Dixie where there are only
from IL to Is students salary of $50
will be paid this year, this being an
advance of $40 over that of the previ-
Gus years. In district No. So, six
miles west of the city the salary will
be raised IS per month, making it $40
and at Clyde it is proposed to raise
the teachers salary from $55 to $65 per
month.
This general advance was made nee
essary through the great lack of
teachers and the resulting difficulty
to get competent instructors to take
charge of the small schools through
out the country. The school board
has also come to the conclusion that it
would be more profitable to pay
enough to secure the services of first
class teacher at first class wages than
those of a poorer teacher at less wages
Aside from this, the former salaries
were far from being sufficient. This
was more emphasized when the cost OF
living was generally advanced. Con-
sidering the time spent preparation
and the further effort of maintaining
advanced standards. Mr.. Bond says
that even with the advance the teach
ers are far from being overpaid.
