Little Rock. Nov. 16. Again the contest of the liquor vote in the recent election in Pulaski county, which was to come to a hearing in the county court, be fore Judge Asher, this morning, has been postponed. Judge j. F. Sellers, of Morrilton, one of the attorneys for the contestants, is presiding as special judge in the Write will contest, and the liquor contest cannot go on with out him. The hearing was post poned last Monday because he had been elected especial judge, until today. but as he is still en- gagged in hearing the will case, the hearing has again been post poned until next Monday. There is some doubt of it's being heard then as several of the attorneys have other engagements for that day, and unless they can make other arrangements. the contest hearing will have to be postponed again.

 1 The responsibility resting on the instructors of your child is far greater than of another oc- cupatioI or profession today. l The individuality of each child is taken into account. and, as nearly as possib e, every study is presented so as to produce the best moral results. Knowledge without moral character is in- l furious both to the community and ruinous to the individual The schools educate for life, and hold out our ideal-the one whose feeling of satisfaction which must come to every one with the knowledge of high moral char acter, together with an efficient l education, of which the board of directors have placed at your disposal in selecting the present instructors. composed of Prof. o. l..

 The proficiency and standard of which our schools have ac- quired is recognized throughout Arkansas. The high grades of this school is a preparatory for the State University at Fayet- vile, and upon graduation here, the diploma admits it's owner without further examination.
 The building is a com nodious two story brick building, which with the late addition costing in the neighborhood of $i0, 900, is ore of the finest in the State, composed of eleven rooms, of which starts with the primary and reaches the upper pinacle to which the Amer can public are noted, moral and thorough e6u- cation.

 Together with this knowledge in the various branches. one of the many essential possessions is a frst-class school library in con- nectiop, and the Picayune wishes to congratulate Prof. Dunaway on his untiring efforts to erect as a monument to present and future generations. the Prescott Pu olic School Library, which will be a credit to the city, coun- ty and state.
 He, together with the corps of teachers and the school board, recognize the fact that develop ment of the mind is not wholly in the school room battling with historical, mathematical pro- biems, etc. but that the brain ne- eessitates development on classi- cal literature as well, and under their supervision and untiring ef- forts have and are laying the foundation for a greater one. At the present 1t is one equal and surpassing many. yet Prof. Don- away's ambition is far from realized, and our citizens should and we believe will, come to his rescue in contributing to this plaudable and worthy cause. 1 in furthering the education of vyo,,r ob,Id for sYic for tha,a thic

A FEW THOUGHTS WITH
REFERENCE TO THE CAMPAIGN

Columbus. o., Oct 23-Three years
ago John VI, Pattison made men,
orablef cpmpaign against the Cox
Guilbert combine, which was
hiding them under the long-taile1
coat of Governor Herrick One OF
the chief issues made by Mr. Pat
tison WIS to root out corruption
in our state and local governments
Judson Harmon stood by Mr.. Patti
son in that campaign on the same
ground which furnishes the chief
issue between the state tickets in
Ohio todpy. Even Secretary Taft
came to Ohio and made one speech
in that campaign-at Akron where
he spoke his mind freely about
conditions in Cincinnati under the
Cox rdgime.
Well did Judge Harmon spy in his
sreech at Ashland last Saturday:
"When the General Assembly reused
by the plain speech of Judge Taft
at Akron, sent one committee otter
another to Law bare conditions at
Cincinnati and both committees were
blocked by technical Instructions af-
ter exposing wholesale corruption
"nd frightening more than 5000, 900
graft back into the treasury, there
was great rejoicing at the State
House. Far be II from the Governor
and the StPte officials to take up and
push on through their unquestioned
powers. the drift opened by the COM
mittees. So we are left to struggle
on rnaided from Columbus until the
people shall put men there vino
know graft when they see 1t and
viii cry out alyainst IL, no matter
who the grafters mPy be.
In his speech at Ashland Judge
Harmon also said: "We hoped and
believed, until the disclosures made
last winter that politicel corruption
was localized, that It had not vet
spread from the cities where II had
been discovered to the capitol. But
now when we find It has I ought
to be taken off the ticket. If | keen

prominent and wealthy Republican
OF Marion when he said, "Ill tell
you, the Republicans own this gov
ernment and they are going TO run

too far. The point Of rebellion has
been reached and the place where
every self-suspecting men must reg

education at West Po'nt, but certainly
nothing was developed there in him to
indicate his fitness or ability to meet
great responsibilities.

did other lieutenants. He manifested
as regimental quartermaster energy
and familiarity with his duties. But
in 1854 he resigned from the army be-
cause he had to. He had yielded to
the weakness OF taste for strong
drink, and rather than be courtmar-
tailed he left the army He returned
from Vancouver, on the Pacific coast,

money, without property--a disheart.

operations. His chief business seem

of the well-to-do people of st. Louis.
"Aster six years of this life he gave
up farming because of ill-health and
went into the real estate business for
