ley and his assistants recommend
ed the establishment of a negro
department. at the University it
was soon compelled to close its
doors for want of patronage.
In 1871, under Republican ad-
mlnistration, the amount collect
ed for public schools was $3.50 5
In 1872, under laws passed by a
Democratic General Assembly,
the school fund was increased to
$211, 239.2 20, and from that time
the school fund has continued to
increase and the shoots have
fourished.
In 1876, when the Democrats
came back into power in all the
branches of the State Govern
ment, educational interests of the
State we're revived; the Univer-
sity was reopened, the public
schools took on new life and the
school fund greatly increased I'M
til, in 1894, it amounted to
$777. O79 20.
In 1881, under the leadership
of Capt. J. G. Scarborough and
Maj. S. M. Finger, a new school
law was passed. This. with some
amendments, will be found in
The Code of 1888.
An examination of The Code of
1888 will show that chapter Is
was taken almost entirely from
the Laws and the Revised Code of
1854. ard the Laws of 1869 were
entirely ignored.
In 1891, 1892, 1898 and 1894
the Democrats taught so 46-100
weeks, at a cost of $8,O19, 103 80,
and had 235, 1856 white children
enrolled. In 1895, 1896, 1897 and
1898 the Fusionists taught so
$1,000 weeks, at a cost of 49,
461, 1893 ~, and had in 1897 only
222, 252 white children enrolled.
Under the Fusion school law,
which has negro school commit
teemen over white children, it ap-
pears that the white enrolment
decreased 10, 234, and it will be
seen that the Fusionists% lengthen-
ed the school term in four years
only one day, which one day cost
the State $442, 289. 80, although
there we're 1884 less white chill
dren in school.
The record since the return of
white people to power is ably set
out in the Democratic Handbook,
and will partly show in the fol-
lowing table:

A NEW SCHEME.
One Of the Contfivances Of the Thrifty in
Far AWAY Maine.

tAi fVuJ HIuthes
Ehen W. Sears, Ct Lynn, has
returned from his vacation in
Lewiston, Me-, with a remarkable
tale of the way liquor is served III
the prohibitson State. Sears says
that a friend took him INTO place
where several men were drinking
and ordered some beer. The room
Was without furniture or fixtures,
save for one table, a few chairs
and the gas jets.
While Sears was wondering
where the beer was to come from
the proprietor stepped to a gas jet
and turned it on, whereat the am
Der fluid flowed forth as from
the spigot of a keg. The proprie-
tor filled the glasses of Sears and
his friend, and then two others for
customers drLw forth two mugs
of ale from another gas jet. Al
ter that he produced a glass Of
whiskey from the third jet.
Seeing that there were several
more gas jets in the Dom Sears,
as a test of the proprietor's re-
sources, was about to call for q
Martini cocktail when suddenly
there wore alarms and scurrylngs
without. followed by q noise like
a squad of liquor deputies.
Instantly the proprietor sprang
to a corner apd pressed an II WIS.,
sible button. Wondering what
the effect of this might be Sears
turned on the beer gas Jet, but
nothing came forth.
"Ihe gas is shut off - said the
proprietor with a wink. Sears
was unable tc learn where the
liquor came from. He says he
thinks the proprietor had tanks
in the walls.-Boston Herald.

G. T. Seitz, who has been so seriously ill at his home on Osage, is reported better.
 Fred J. Lange and family de. parted Friday of last week for their former home in Iowa. MT. Lange moved here last spring, having bought the Shipley place 1 1-2 miles south of town. The unfortunate condition of an inva- lid son has worked great hard ship on the family and Mr. Lange decided that he could get along better by going where daily em- ployment is more easily secured. During their residence here they made many friends who will be glad to have them return, when they find it convenient to do so.
 The body of Ed Villines was shipped from Shreveport. La, to Kingston, Ark, via Berryville, interment being made at Kings ton the 10th inst. Mir. Villines was stepson of H. P. McCrack- en of Kingston and a half brother of Mrs. George Coxsey of Green Forest. He had been a resident of Shreveport for a number of years. He was man of no fam fly and being of a very retired disposition he had said but lit tie about his family relation, and when he fell victim of typhoid fever, his friends were unable to learn the location of his relatives. At last a friend remembered having been shown a paper in which Villines said contained an ad of firm in which his brother flaw was interested. A search was made of his room and a copy of The Tribune was found and this clue led to the location of George Coxsey. who telegraph ed shipping directions which were carried out by the order of Red Men, of which he was a member. A man was sent to accompany the remains to the destination.
