At last the scoundrels under in
dietment in the legislative Doodle
cases at Little Rock see their way
clear to immunity from further pros.
eeution, Tom L. Cox, chief boodler
and star witness is said to be suffer
ing from nervousness to such de.
gree that it lncapacitates him, at
times, from correctly expressing HIM
self and any further strain upon his
mental faculties may result in his
collapse, Being thus incapacited,
he has an excuse which will hold
good for all occasions, and this be-
ing the situation, all of the cases i'll
which he is the principal witness
must necessarily fall to the ground
This nervous prostration is the lat
est dodge and we may now look for
general tottering of the minds OF
scamps all over the state,

The September Elections.

The election proclamation which
Sheriff Robinson publishes this year
exclusively in a republican paper
for the first time in the history of
Boone county, is an interesting pa
per, and should be read by demo-
Gratis as we'll as republicans. In ad-
dition to the full list of State, Dis
trict, County and Township officers
to be elected, the following questions
will also be submitted to the electors
at such election:
For or against license to sell
liquor.
For sale of native wine or against
sale of native wine.
One amendment to the constitu-
ton of the state, requiring poll tax
receipt, in addition to other qualih'
cations for voting in the elections OF
the state.
Also one amendment to the con
stitution of the state, torbidding the
state, any county, city or town or
other municipality to loan its credit,
or to issue any interest bearing evi'
dences of Indebtedness, except such
bonds as may be authorized by law
for the construction and mainten'
ance of public highways in counties
cities and towns, and the construc'
ton, purchase and maintenance Of
public improvements of a generalna'
ture i'll cities and towns.

SOME democrats who are always
enthusiastic reformers of the other
fellows, have limited that the press
OF Harrison has had altogether too
little to say concerning the recent
primary frauds in Boone county.
They would have us go farther than
the Grand Jury and convict the in
dividuals whose corruption made
the frauds possible Such a task
would not only be too great for the
papers to accomplish fairly, but it
is doubtfulifthe voters of the county
would submit to any decision arriv-
ed at. In the last analysis the
whole matter must be decided by
the ballot box in September, and
the facts are as fully before the vot.
ers as they are before the newspap-
ers. No honest man will favor fraud
oiany sort at the ballot box, and
public honor. public honesty will
correct whatever evil is apparent
The condition of affairs is no worse
than the people themselves have
created; the scamps, if there are any,
must be scattered throughout the
county, and they are tobe effectually
disposed OF the voters OF each partie-
ular township must take the mat
ter in hand and see that never again
are they given the trust they have
violated In the interest of public
honor as well as the dignity of the
Democratic party every democrat
must stand for honest politics, and
ii this is done there will be no need
to council with or vote for republi-
cans to reach the end desired.

THE race representing Attorney,
SO far, is very one sided affair. Mr..
Reeves cannot begin to cope with
Mr.. Pace as public speaker. In
fact Mr.. Reeves is a poor speaker
and a very ordinary lawyer while
Troy Pace is not only good speak
er but one of the best young lawyers
in the district.-Chnton Journal
The fact that Mr.. Reeves has re-
Gently preferred to go off campaign
ing alone demonstrates the fact
that the joint canvass was not prov
ing satisfactory in the matter OF
vote-getting.

animation does not indicate thai
be should be promoted to another
grade at once. Ii only indicates
that he is doing his duty full and
faithfully aud will be able TO do
next years work we'll when his
class reaches il.
A student is hardly mature
enough to 10 satisfactorily the
work laid out for 9TH year in this
Course before hr is twelve years
old and should be al least fifteen
bel0re he enters upon High
School work. 1t Is very flatter-
ing TO i0ud parent Ia have his
child finish the High School al
fifteen and rush of To college and
lake his A. b., before he istwenty.
Of course il will do the child some
good aud will probably be better
than never TO have gone AT all
provided his health has not been
sacrificed. But his schooling
would have been worth n great
deal more 10 him, had he taken II
normally. IL takes 80 much time
for ''learning to soak in and be-
come part 0f the child.
We have strengthened aud en-.
riched the Course aud added an.
other year, 81 We will not have
any graduating class this year
This will probably be annoying to
some; but. as will be seen from at
extract OF u letter from Prof. J
II. Reynolds, Chairman of U. A.
this is necessary. lie says: I'll
reply to your recent letter | vii
say | hat it is fact that the Harri
son school has been on probation
for II year or two, and that i'll
WORK in some respect has no
been satisfactory. | am indeed
glad that you are going to im
prove conditions, otherwise ",
shall have been compelled to drol
the school from our list"
Now, that our Elementary w0rl
has been enriched and We vii
have three years strictly Higl
School work, our students will
not only be able to make Fresh
men in our State College but ais,
in those out of the State.
We have the only school, he
tween Batesville and Eureki

beer of teachers to do tn IL C0urs,

We have made several changes
in our Course of Study. We have
arranged the Course SD that there
will be nine months good work
for good student with regular
attendance. in each year. The
old Course, n0minally, was Il
combination of two distinct sys
tems-the half-year and the whole
year. This is an impossible com
binati0n. When Il student enter
ed a room be had 10 stay there d
full year without ii full years
work As ii result Of the system
aud because The Superintendent
was required To teach full time &C
that he could not make close, per
sOnal supervision, there was q
good deal of slack and some a
the rooms were Ovefer0 wded
You will notice that the work
from the old fourth grade Groom 3
has been made heavier by intro
ducing new and needed subjects
and by finishing the Grammar
school work in what was called
the old eighth grade 10th year,
and that the old ninth grade Is
year High SCHOOL, has been lief
entirely for High School work
This arrangement apparently
makes the course two years lOngel
than it was, but practically il II
the same time required by the ole
arrangement. By introducing
new subjects along through TIN
course, we have taken up th,
"slack" aud made each year,
work sufficiently heavy for gOoC
student with regular attendance
1t is 20 be hoped that some of GU
patrons who have large boys ant
girls in the first three years will
let their children attend regularl!
enough 10 all04 them to pc moved
up out of the way of the little feI

We had a very fine year
school, last year. Let the patron
give the same hearty cooperation
this year and We shall have "a bet
ter.
Let every one remember tina
we will have nine months ire
school and plan to send all tn
year.

THE state must look after this
whisky business. 1t has become too
strong to be handled by local COM
munities; too insolent to brook re-
straint, and too devilish to pay any
attention to the prayers of the good
or the weak. Nothing but the
strong arm OF the law will have any
power to restrain the business.

The concert to be given in the El Centro Opera House next Wednesday night for the benefit of the Christian church building is sure to be one of the best and most important musical events of the season, and it is expect ed that people from all parts of the valley will avail themselves of this op- portunity to hear so many of the tal- ented musicians of the valley in one evening.
 No pains have been spared to make the concert a success. and a long and attractive program has been prepared introducing not only we'll known fav- orites in musical circles, but singers of equal or superior merit who have not before been heard here. The pro. gram comprises twenty-two numbers and is so long that no encores will be permitted.
 There will be five tenor soloists and this feature alone insures the artistic success of the concert, as these solo ists are Robert J. Craig, Fred Wilson, w. H. Joslin, F. w. Waite and J. c. Scott. The soprano soloists are Mrs. Nettie M Hayden, Miss Irene Balcom, Miss Beatrice Carr of Fl Centro and Miss Grove of Imperial Mir. Craig and Miss Balcom will sing a duet with violin obligato by Murray Stover. There will be piano duets by Mrs. and Miss Grove of Imperial and Misses Swindle and Tout of El Centro, and piano solo by Mr. Stevens. Mir. Stover will render q violin solo and Mrs. For rester of Imperial will read one or two selections James Holt of Imperial will read, and little Jessie Jones, the child soprano of Fl Centro, will sing. Mir. Stevens, Mrs. Grove and Miss SwindIe will be the pianists. Orches- tra] selections will be rendered as overture and interlude, and the whole
