CAN'T VOTE FOR
 SUPERINTENDENTS
Attorney General Kirby Holds That Recent Law Providing County Su- perintendents Became Law
 Too Late.
From the Gazette.

Prom the Gazette.
 No county superintendents can be elected in Arkansas until 1910, according to an opinion given out yesterday by Attorney General w. F. Kirby. Accord ing to MT. Kirby's opinion a sec tion of the law passed by the last legislature making It possible for counties to elect county superin- tendents has been overlooked uu. til recently, when it was found that the requirements of that section of the act cannot be met this year. The law regarding the election of county superin- tendents requires that the ques- ton of county supervision" must first be voted upon before the county superintendents are elected. This section also re- quires that the question county supervision" must be voted upon at the school election the year before the general election. The school election is held the third Saturday in May, and the act regarding the county superin- tendents' election did not become law until after that date last year. As the result 1t was inn possible to vote upon the question of county supervision" until this year, and, according to the act the date would be too late for the general election this fall, as the act requires that the question of county supervision" be voted upon the year proceeding the general election. The question may be voted upon at either this years school election or next years but it must be a year be- fore the general election, and hence no county superintendent can be voted upon until the general election in 1910.
 The provision of the act re- quiring the question of county supervision" to be voted upon the year preceding the general elec- ton was apparently overlooked until several counties recently took the matter up with the county attorneys. 1t would have been impossible to do anything ,n the matter, anyhow, as the act did not become a law until after the annual school election last year.

PEARCE GETS 20 YEARS.
Young Man Who shot Button Gets No
 Leniency.

PHOENIX. Dee. l-.ludgc Kent yes. icrday sentenced Jesse R. Peace to a term of twenty years in the territorial priou for the killing of Ossiau NJ. But ton. for which the defendant n week ago yesterday was found guilty of murder in inc second degree.
 When the ease was called Judge Baker. counsel for the defendant. of fcrcd motion for a new trial The motion was entirely formal for the purpose of keeping the record straight and when Judge Baker stated that he had no proof to offer in support of the motion 1t was overruled. The motion the court alleged to be improper, one of them being that the defendant must nave been in actual danger when he fired the fatal shot. That instruction for years had been given in Califor. mia courts in murder eases when the plea of self-defcnse was offered, but some two years ago the supreme court of that state reversed a judgment of the lower court on account of that in. struction.
 All preliminarics having been dis. posed of, Pearce was ordered to stand up and he was asked if he had any. thing to say why sentence should not be passed upon nim. He had only to say that he was not guilty and he asked the court to he lenient.
 Judge Kent replied that he had found nothing in the ease to call for leniency but what he might think about that would not influence the verdict. He reminded the prisoner that if he nad told the truth at the trial the verdict might have been different one. But on the contrary he had offered evidence that fit in with and corroborated plainly manufaetur. ed evidence. Then the sentence was announced.
 Pearce received the sentence with a fair degree of eomposure while he was in the eyes of the crowd, but when he was taken back to his cell he gave way under the weight of his punishment.
 Though no notice of appeal was given yesterday it was stated that it will be given in few days and the appeal will be perfected as soon as possible. The prisoner will probably he taken to Yuma tonight.

AcADEAGY WINS.

In close game Saturday afternoon the basketball team of St. Joseph Academy annexed the first match of the championship series, defeating the Hign Schoi team.
 Saturdays game was worth looking at. The spectators seemed to think so, and there were lot of spectators there to see the game. The greatest good'fellowship existed between tho two teams, but also definite deter imitation to win was plainly visible throughout the game on both sides. The Aeamedy team won on a score of nine to eight, that is, even points were made from the field and the ex- tra point which the Academy team wone came from foul called on the High School team. The High School team had the. greatest number of fouls called on them, but on the whole played faster game. The low score shows good guarding on both aides. The scond game of the watch should be worth seeing.

scoring. Shelters run getting was
started in the initial inning. when

This was continued throughout the

lost track and quit counting. A feat
ure of the game was the absence of
the usual rag-chewing. The Eagles
soon became resigned to their fate
and the Shelter boys were so far
ahead they did not care. hence The
peace and quiet. The next game has

enterprises of the district.
Il have recently been both east
and west, said Mr.. Forbes last even

the general situation in Denver, and
have reached conclusion that Denver
withstood the hard times of fall and
winter and the after effects better
than any other city in the country.
Denver has forged steadily ahead.
and is keeping right at it.
AS to conditions in the country
generally, they have materially inn
proved in the last few months. There
can be no question as to the preva-
lence of greater activity and higher
confidence. Everywhere there is bet
ter feeling, more work and steadily
gaining prosperity. We are working
back to the old level of good times
very rapidly
This is the first visit Mr.. Forbes
has paid Ely. He has heard a great
deal of good about the camp and Is

said that II first impression was sus-
tanned he would go away very highly
pleased with the district.
