THE SPECIAL ACT WAS LOST
Enola School District Placed in Awkward
Position on Account of It.

Enola, Nov. I8.-(Special cor
respondence 1.-The school dis
trict Ono. 46) at this place has been
thrown into an awkward position
by the loss of special act for its
benefit passed by the recent leg
islature. A bin authorizing
this district to borrow money for
building purposes was passed by
both the senate and the house, and
acting upon its provisions, the al
rectors at once began the con-
StruCtions OF new building. When
the printed acts acts arrived here
short time ago, however, it was
discovered that they did not con-
tain the Enola act, and a careful
search has thus far failed to dis
close what became OF it.
The building is not yet COM
pleted and the directors are unable
to proceed with it until the act is
located. A mass meeting of the
patrons of the district was held
last Friday to devise means to com
plete the building, but no definite
action was taken.

CONWAY TAKES THE GAME
Morrilton High School Defeated on Home

By Walter Isgrig. '08.

Morrilton High School Defeated on Home
Grounds Saturday, 10 to S.
The football team played the
Morrilton high school last Satur
day on the Morrilton grounds.
Morrilton kicked off and the
Conway high school took the ball
in twenty yards of the Morrilton
goal by end runs and center rush
es, but Morrilton received the ball
and punted it across the Conway
goal line, and one of the Morrilton
players fell on the ball and count
ed it a touchdown. Morrilton
kicked off and Conway took the
ball by forward passes to Morrill,
tons ten-yard line, and by buck
ing the line made a touchdown in
the last minute of the first half, but
failed to kick goal, the score at the
end of the first half.being 5 to 5.
Beginning the second half Con-
way received the kick and took
the ball past the center of the field
by forward passes, but lost the
ball and Morrilton punted back UP
to Conway's thirty yard line.
Conway again tried forward pass
ing until they were on Morrilton S
twenty yard line, then on a shift
play Brannon of Conway made the
last touchdown of the game, but
lost its try at kicking goal. This
ended the scoring for both sides
and at the end of the game the
score was 10 to 5 for the Conway
high school. Morrilton has a
heavier team than the Conway team
but they need coaching.

young man and started in business in
Chicago In small way, rising through
energy and thrift. But he could not
stand prosperity, and his fondness for
big schemes that could not be under
taken without assuming big risks was
his undoing.
Nipples case was similar, but his
was the strangest Of ALL His was the
case Of a good man gone wrong and
led wrong by a man with whom, 1t
might have been supposed, a conserva-
tive flnancier, man with reputation
to maintain, would have had nothing
to do. District Attorney John G. Bell,
who is prosecuting the surviving
wreckers of the Real Estate Company
Of Philadelphia, declared in court that
he could prove that Nipple, segal and
those cognizant Of their doings were
engaged in conspiracy and that as
result Of their acts more than $780,,
coo was distracted from the institution
for the use Of one man. This was Sc
gal, who as director Of the company
put it, seemed to have hypnotized the
president. Segal's career was meteoric.
Twenty years ago he was a recent i'm
migrant from Austria, speaking broken
English and working over a boiling
soap caidron in cellar In tenement
district. The invention Of new proc
ess for waxing paper yielded him $2O,-
600. This gave him start In business.
and his persuasive manner enabled
him to borrow money to any extent de-
sired for all kinds of visionary prof.
ects. He built sugar refinery for the
purpose OF selling it out to the sugar
trust and succeeded in doing so. max
ing about 100000 on the deal. Later
he tried the same game again, but this
time could not sell and got left with
the refinery on his hands. It is said he
once overdrew his account at Nipples
bank $4,000, but Nipple, being mex
trieably involved in Segal's schemes,
had to honor the check. After Nipples
suicide his family found Il hastily
scrubbed note, which read. mo one to
blame but myself. Segal got all the
money. I was fooled into lending it to
him, thinking his business good" The
dead bank president was plodding
lawyer for years, and his reputation
for integrity and safe methods led him
to be made the custodian Of many
trust funds, including those Of church
es and charitable institutions. Out
wardly he was so highly moral that
nobody suspected him capable OF do
ing wrong thing, and when his fall
came it carried misfortune to many in
nocent persons with 1t.

WIDE TIRE LAWS.
why They Are Needed For the Inn
prOvement of Roads.


prOvement of Roads.
In the st,.te Of New York, as we'll as
In other states, many of the practical
road users are asking why there are
no state laws making the general adop-
ton Of wide tires on all wagons built
to carry load Of Il ton or more com.
pulsory. It is well known fact that
narrow tires carrying heavy load cut
the road surface, making ruts, thereby
letting in the water, which when frozen
results in ruin to the road, says the
Good Roads Magazine. The use Of
wide tires, ON the other hand, through
the constant process of rolling, is a
benefit to the road. In foreign coun-
tries, especially France, which enjoys
the proud distinction of having the
best roads in the world, the use of
wide tires is required BY law.
The reason assigned for the fact
that wide tire bills have not been more
generally adopted in the United States
is that it would mean the expenditure
Of money on the part Of all owners Of
wagons, and as these wagon owners
are voters the question would become
political, and Il legislator would not
dare vote for law which would com
pei his constituents TO spend money in
buying wide tires, for it might mean
that he would not again be elected to
Office. Such q situation Is of course
absurd. Nevertheless no extensive i'm
provement of the roads should be made
without the adoption of Il wide tire
act. Cutting up and destroying the
highways constructed with the peoples
money at great expense is a wanton
waste, and wide tire laws as pre-
ventive measure are absolutely neces.

A DAM BUILT ON END.
How Clever Engineer Conquered
Mechanical Difficulty.

Mechanical Difficulty.
Almost every boy has built dozens
Of dams in various ways, constructing
them across the bed Of the channel,
wide or narrow, to be damned. But
did any boy ever think Of building q
dam on end and then tipping it over?
An inventive American engineer, lsham
Randolph, who became famous by his
work on the Chicago drainage canal,
has tried this idea on the Niagara river
200 yards above the Horseshoe fall and
made a remarkable success Of it.
OF course an ordinary dam could not
easily be built in the fercely racing
currents Of Niagara hurrying to plunge
over the fall. So Mr.. Randolph decided
to build his dam on end on the very
edge of the river. It was not meant to
do more than raise the water level a
few inches, so as to prevent water
scarcity in winter for the Canadian
town of Niagara Falls when ,the ice
jam comes on. A dam seven feet or so
high was enough and fifty feet long
Turned Oh end, this meant q column
fifty feet high and seven feet four
inches square. The clever engineer
used concrete as the cheapest, easiest
and least corrosive material. But any
column OF any material was certain to
break in the shock Of falling. How
was that to be provided for?
Easily enough, the inventive builder
argued. Up the middle Of the concrete
column, like q huge backbone, he ran
strong iron chain weighing about 500
pounds. The whole column weighed
some 200 tons. At intervals eight feet
apart all the way up it along the land
ward face wooden wedges were insert
ed, so that in breaking it would follow
these lines and break into regular
blocks, held together by the chain. The
plan was a1dacious, but entirely prac-
tical--a true yankee notion On Nov
@, 1906, the finished dam was sent fly
ing over by three hydraulic jacks.
Amid the GREATNESS interest of large
crowd Of spectators the concrete col
umn fell. splashed and settled. When
splash and spray subsidized there it

much to be feared as the running of
financial institutions by men looked
upon as pillars Of society. It was the
get-rlch-quick idea which proved the
Nemesis Of Banker Paul 0. Stensland
OF Chicago, Of Banker Frank *. Nipple
and "Frenzied Financier" Adolph Segal
of Philadelphia and Of Banker Frank
Bigelow Of Milwaukee. The Milwau-
kee fnancier erred through the faults
Of his son, who plunged into specula-
tive schemes and dragged his father
from the path of safe and conservative
finance to that Of crime, ruin and
felon's cell. Nipple and Stensland both
started right and up to certain stages
Of their respective careers seem to have
pursued lives of honesty and integrity.
Then the temptation to embark in
projects promising big returns came,
and they took the unjustidable risks
involved, leaning on the regulations
they had built up as honest and relia-
BILE men to obtain the support Of others
for hazardous enterprises. In Nipples
case religion and philanthropy were
used as cloak to hide doings which,
however much softer terms might be
used, were nothing less than swindling.
Stensland, who fed to Morocco to
escape the consequences Of his folly,
but even there was sought out and re-
manded to the authorities Of his coun-
