State Sanitation Society Proposed.

The organization of an Arkansas Sanitation Society, to be composed of the members of Boards of Health doctors, lawyers and business men and to have for it's purpose the prevention of disease by sanitation, is now being talked by many physicians through out the state
 Definite steps toward the organiza- tion of such society will probably be taken soon
 Already Dr. J. C. Minor of Hot Springs, major surgeon of the Arkan- sas Natonal Guard, whose methods in keeping the Arkansas encampment in perfect sanitary condition at Leon Springs, Tex brought forth many compliments from regular army off cers, has taken up the project and is pushing it as rapidly as possible. He has announced that he will attempt to interest state and municipal officers in the movement
 Concerning the project and the com ing tuberculosis congress at Wash ingtCn, D. C., which Dr. Minor will at tend as one of the delegates from Ar | kansas, Dr. Minor has the following 10 say:
 In accepting the commission to rep resent the state of Arkansas at the | International Congress on TuberculO- sis in Washington now assembled | desire to say that the subjects to be considered there are necessarily so wide in scope, both scientifically and i practical, that l will be unable to take | interest in any but the practical pa 1 pers, believing that such attention can l be better transmitted to the people | of our state and give more satisfactory l returns in the way of preventing dis | ease. I presume the other delegates | will look after the scientific end of | it.
 ITO assist in the practical part ot l the great work, 1 am going to ask the | press to advise all state and munich pal officials to become interested in a 1 State Sanitation Society, the society to l be composed of the members of Boards of Health throughout the state, togeth
 CT with property holders, doctors,
 lawyers and business men. The or
 ganization should meet in general con
 vention once a year, and discuss the
 points of interest presented by local
 or municipal boards.
 The state organization should be encouraged by the legislature. All 1 practical work done by the Organi,
 zation will be appreciated by the in
 dividual citizens; all scientific work will be recognized and valued by the national association.
 The real work of prevention of dis
 ease is to be done first, last and all
 the time by the local boards of sani tation; the scientific bodies only poin
 the way

Five negroes are in jail at Newport charged with the murder of Joe Cort- ney, a prominent farmer and mill man, who was found dead upon the road near Shoffner, his home, on the night of October ?, 1905. It is alleged that one of the negroes, when he thought he was on his death bed, ad- mitted that he and his brother had murdered Mir.

Might Riding" Fake Is Exploded.

Reports to the effect -that night riders have appeared recently near Lake City were exploded Saturday when it was learned from a number of reliable sources that no night riders have appeared anywhere and that the reports to that effect were the result of joke played on William Craddock of Lake City.
 Mir. CraddOck owns a horse, which is alleged to have created a disturb ance in Lake City and which, it is said, caused some of the residents of that place to remark, in a joking man. Iner, that they intended to have an ordinance passed in the city council prohibiting the animal from appear ing on the streets. Shortly after ward. according to information se- cured, the switches were found by Mr. Craddock pinned on the door Of his barn in which the horse was kept.
 Investigation has brought to light the fact that the joke on MT. Craddock resulted in the scattering of rumors to the effect that night riders had appeared in that section and that the one instance, which was intended as joke, was the sole and only basis for all of the reports which gained in magnitude as they were spread until it has been flashed across the entire continent that night riders supposed to be members of the Arkansas Farm CTS Union, have appeared in Craig head county and made many dire threats.
 The reports have caused general consternation among officers of the Farmers Union who have started an investigation. According to the re- ports the band of night riders who were alleged to have appeared last week were members of the union and made threats which were directly con nected with the Farmers Union in terests. It was alleged that they warned a number of farmers to hold their cotton for the minimum price set by the union and that they also warned planters not to charge more than $4 rent for land which they had been renting for $5.

He Could Not Read lt.

While visiting in a small town in Connecticut, seven miles from the rail- road station, I received occasionally a rcstal card from my fance, written in kind of shorthand of our own. One day when cousin was going to the post office I asked her to inquire if there was anything for me. She re- turned saying there was nothing. The next day she made the same inquiry, when the postmaster showed her a postal card addressed to me and said: "Em, can you read this?" She said "No." Thereupon he said: Neither can I, and I have been trying ever since yesterday" This illustrates the fact that curiosity is not confined to the fair sex.

TELLER INDIAN SCHOOL MAY
NOT Be ABANDONED AT ALL
Interesting Comment on the Refusal
of Congress to Put an End to
the Reservation Schools.

The refusal of the house of repre-
sentatives to adopt an amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill which
would prohibit the transportation of
Indian pupils beyond the boundaries
of the state in which their reserva-
tions are situated indicates that con-
gress will do nothing to put an end
to the non-reservation schools.
The object of these schools is to
withdraw Indian boys and girls from
the barbarous environment of res
ervation and subject them directly to
the civilizing influence of life among
intelligent white people. This policy
proceeds upon the theory that the
way to civilize people is to bring
them into contact with civilization;
and that it has proved to be wise in
the case of Indians is shown in hun
dreds of cases.
Against the non-reservation
schools 1t has been charged that In
dian boys after coming home return
to the blanket" overlooking the fact
that it was from the condition of
blanket Indians that they were taken.
By going back to the blanket they
do no more than they would have
done if they had remained on the
reservation and had acquired no
knowledge of better ways of living.
The educated Indians who return
ed to their reservations had in the
beginning little influence over their
former associates in the tribes; but
year after year the representatives
of this class are increased. Their in
fluence thus incomes greater; and
as in time little leaven may leaven
the whole lump, so the graduates
from non-reservation schools who
have learned what civilization is may
be expected to change the character
of the tribes to which they may be-
long.

HAS AN INNOCENT MAN
SUFFERED ALL THESE YEARS

Denver, Feb. 10.-Among the ap-
plications that will come up for par
don at the meeting next Friday is
one by Charles Bugh who was SEN
tencer from Teller county to term
of from fifteen to twenty years for
assault upon a girl.
In support of his application is an
affidavit signed by the girl and an
other signed by the girls mother to
the effect that the girl swore to a
falsehood at the time of the trial.
If this be true. Bugh has served five
years for a crime which he never
committed and for a crime which
would lower him in the estimation of
his associates more than If he had
committed murder.
The case will be given thorough
airing next Friday and if the girls
statements in the affidavit are found
to be true, he will be released and
no doubt steps will be taken to pros
ecute the girl.
There are two applications for ex-
ecutive clemency from Pueblo coun-
ty. One is made by John Devlin who
was sentenced in 1908 to term of
thirteen years for assault. Another
is made by Mabel North who was
sentenced in 1905 to a term of five
years for burglary.
