In view of the fact that many students
come to US who have never had the ad-
vantages of thorough common school
education, we have arranged for an addi-
tional course in which special instruction
will be given in the common branches.
Students entering in either of the ad-
vanced courses will be required to have
reached certain degree of proficiency
in those branches.
This additional work, together with our
rapidly increasing membership, necessi-
tates the employment of another in
structor, who has been engaged and will
be here in the near future. The work
will be kept strictly up to the standard
Of the best commercial schools.
We have smaller classes than larger
institutions Of this kind which gives the
student the benefit Of more recitation
work and much more individual instruc-
ton.
We wish to thank our patrons and
friends for their liberal support in this
new enterprise, and, as we enter the new
year with the brightest of prospects, we
wish to assure you that our every effort
shall be exerted to make this a live insti.
tuition, credit to the city Of Dickinson
and potent factor in the education and
betterment Of our boys and girls.

Several Oklahoma cities that are doing large
amotnts Of paving are studying methods of reduc-
ing the cost.
Shawnee is considering the question Of establish
ng a municipal asphalt paving plant committee
is Now investigating the proposition in other cities
and the action taken will be based upon their report
The plan is to use Oklahoma asphalt and it is be-
lioyed that large saving can be made Muskogee
is seriously contemplating the use Of Ardmore as
rhalt
n view Of the large amount Of paving to be done
in Chickasha it might be good idea for the council
or the commercial club to appoint committee to
investigate the matter. A saving of from 10 to %
cents yard would amount to a large sum on the
whole amount to be paved The Shawnee people
think they can save much larger amount by doing
their own paving. The question IS certainly one
worth worthy Of serious consideration BY the prop
erty owners Of Chickasha

THE soHooL BoND IssUE

The call for q special election to vote upon the
issuance Of bonds to the amount Of $4,000 for school
buildings places the issue squarely before the peo
pie
as a rule no bond issue meets with more popular
favor than one Of this kind To show the need Of the
money for such purposes is generally all the argu
ment that is necessary to convince the voter Of his
dury.
It cannot be doubter that much larger school
facilities will be needed next year All the buildings
are now crowded to their capacity and the high
school occupying rented quarters which poorly
adapted to school work and entirely inadeuate The
school district has been extended to take in a large
amoant Of outlying territory which win increase
the attendance by several hundred, and next year
compulsory education provided by the constitution
IS sure to become effective adding many more pupils
to the enrolment There is no eyading the issue );
more room must beprovided.
Doubtless some will think that the proposed bond
issue is larger than is required; and doubtless make
shit means cooud be devised whereby smaller
sum would answer pressing necessities, but this
kind ofeeonomy is generally anything but economy
ia the long run. Many persons thought when the
four existing buildings were erected that we were
going beyond the needs Of the town but experience
has proved the contrary It must be considered
that Chickasha is rapidly growing city in grow
ing state and is going to continue 50 for several
years at least. 1t would be poor business to simply
provide for the present necessities.
The board proposes to build additions to the pres
ent buildings and to erect handsome high school
10 cost $4,000. On the latter proposition there is
some difference of opinion There are those who
favor the county high school idea, and think we
should wait until this can be carried out but the
experience Of other counties has shown that the
people are very slow to vote to establish such
schools Although the question has been voted upon
by many counties in Oklahoma, in but two Of then
has it carried II there was any assurance that the
question could be voted upon at an early date anC
that it would carry, doubtless most people woulc
favor the county high school, but there is no Ger
taintyi ON the other hand there is every PROBABILITY
Of indefinite delay and perhaps failure.
Tic school bond issue will not be municipal deb
but will rest upon the school district 1t viii no
interfere with the program for a municipal bono
issue for city hall and other purposes which shoul,
also be carried out as part Of the general improve
ment movement for the year
Chickasha is determined to make an aggressive
forward movement along all lines this year and sh
cannot afford to adopt dilatory policy or take an!
backward steps in the way of education.

Denounce President.

Severe >denunciations were heapei
upon President Roosevelt in the
House of Representatives by Mr. Will
lett, Of New York, who, in the course
of his remarks on the financial qles-
ton, charged the President with not
being a sensible man and with having
characterized the heads Of great in
dustrial institutions as dishonest,
thereby bringing on condition Of
lack of confidence among the people
and ultimately panic. The trouble
with the President, he said, had been
that he had not been turning on the
light, but turning on the gas.

Trust" In Jail Eight Months.

San Francisco-Applieation for the
release on bail Of Eugene E. Schmiz,
who has been confined in the county
Jail for eight months, was made. to
Superior Judge Dunno by Attorney
Frank c. Drew of counsel for the
former mayor. On account of the alb
sence from the city Of District Attor-
ney Langdon, Judge Dunno postponed
the matter until Monday.
This was the first move made by the
former mayor to take advantage Of
the reversal of the appeal, which, in
effect, declares that he was illegally
convicted Of extortion, holding that
the crime had been committed and
that Judge Dunno had been unfair in
his rulings and made numerous errors.
Attorney Drew stated to the Asso-
ciated Press that the application for
the release Of Schmitz was not made
with the expectation that the re-
mittur from the higher court would
come down at once.
On Monday the application for bail
will not only be rnewed, but the
court will also be asked to reduce the
aggregate bail, the bail being in the
neighborhood of $500,0000. Mr.. Drew
asked Mr.. Hofcock whether the dis
trict attorney would agree on $780,
900 bail as sufficient to insure the
former mayors presence. In the alb
sence Of the district attorney, Mr..
Hoffcock could give no answer but
informed counsel for Schmitz that in
the first place the latter's right to
bail would be vigorously contested.
After the matter Of bail for the
former mayor had been disposed Of
before Judge Dunno, Schmitz, James
w. Cofroth, manager of an athletic
club, Eddie NJ. Graney, re well
known referee, and Wits Britt,
manager for James Britt, were ar
raigned on the nine indictments in
connection with the granting Of per-
mlts exclusively to the So-caIled
"fight trust"
Abraham Reuff, who is also named
in the indictments was not present in
court. Attorneys for the respective
clients asked that they be given one
week in which to answer the indict-
ments, the obvious intention being to
attack their legality. This motion was
granted.

Want Pension.

pension from the state for Eucl1d
Broussard, the young man who had
his right arm blown off "Wednesday

ninety-thiri anniversary of the bat
tie Of New Orleans. Broussard will
likely secure his pension, as under
the military laws Of the state a sol
dier who IS injured in the perform
ance of his duty is entitled to re-
ceive pension just as a member OF
the standing army, Broussard was per-
forming duty ordered by the Adult
ant General. The report made to the
Adiutant General Of the affair will
show that the accident was, in all
probability, due to defective ram
mer that was used. Mr.. Fitch has
given a statement in which he says
that his finger did not slip from the
vent. Of this he and the other men,
bers of the company wio were firing
the cannon are positive.
