Cook Finds Guilty Persons.

The investigation of the recent
questions has been closed, State Su-
perintendent of instruction George B.
Cook said Thursday, but there will be
no public exposure as the result. Pro
fessor Cook stated a detective had
been at work on the case, and that all
the information desired had been Sc
cured, but that it had been decided
to let the matter drop, as there is
no provision by law for the prosecu-
ton of persons implicated.
I'VE will not take any Legal action
In the matter" said Professor Cook,
"but next time We shall follow out a
different plan in handling the teach
ers' examination questions. We have
learned how the questions became
known and will profit by the expert
ence. The questions will be handled
in the future in such way that there
cannot be a repetition of the leak
age"
A short time before the teachers
examination it was learned that in
several instances the list Of questions
to be answered by the teachers HAD
been shown to them. In those in
stances the questions were changed
so that no one profited by the leak
age"

Demented Negro Raved

Charles Barbee, a negro, said to be
demented, caused considerable excite
ment on the street in front of the Bond
Pharmacy, at Fifth and Main streets
Saturday, and was taken to police
headquarters by Patrolman Lewis.
Barbee appeared to have a grudge
at everybody in general, and proceed
ed to express his contempt for Lit
tie Rock and its citizens. When he
became too noisy and began to use
profane language Patrolman Lewis ar.
rested him He will work for five
days for the city.
Needham Allen, another negro,
whose mental faculties seem to be i'm.
paired to some extent, was given a
fine of $40 on the charge of being
drunk on the street and creating a
disturbance.

fined IS for peddling patent medicine
on the streets without license.

The Cheap Show Evil.

The action of the council last night
IN refusing to renew license for
moving picture show of which serious
complaints had been made proves that
the aldermen have the proper view of
this subject, asserts the Duluth
(Minn.) Evening Herald. The cheap
shows which have swarmed into all
cities in the past few years have
given rise to considerable annoyance
and have caused city authorities more
trouble than they are worth. AS
rule they are located in cheap, f1imsy
buildings, where there is great danger
OF fire, and even greater danger OF
panic in case of false alarms of fire.
Exits are few and difficult and fire pro-
lection inadequate. Besides, there is
a constant temptation to stimulate in
terest in these affairs by the introduc-
ton of obscene pictures, and the ex-
pectation Of this draws a very undesir-
able class of patrons, making many of
these places centers of grave social
dangers. There is no reason why reg
ulations for the protection of audi
ences should be less rigid in these
places than in larger theaters. There
should always be plenty of exits, and
the requirements as to fire protection
should be ample. Especially important
is the necessity of guarding against
panic. Last Saturday in st. Paul the
Pickering of picture films in the dark
caused a false alarm of fire at a NOV.
ing picture show, and catastrophe
was narrowly averted. These places,
which are unwelcome features Of city
life at their best, should be watched
carefully. This is the tendency every
where. Chicago in one day recently
wiped out fifty of it's cheap shows.

Animals Badly Treated,

The first monthly report of Officer
members of the Arkansas Humane So
ciety, in which it is shown that 20
animals were taken out of service dur
ing June, that IL arrests were made,
and that three convictions were Sc
cured. One animal was ordered killed
by officer Rankin. He reports that the
fountain at Fifth and Louisiana streets
was found to be in poor condition, and
that this has been repaired. In some
of the transfer barns he reports finding
draft animals uifit for work. The re-
port, in part, follows:
81 have found several of the express
drivers working their horses without
having them properly shod. In every
case found | have ordered them to
have shoes put on.
Il made a thorough examination OF
the county convict camp, and found
them working stock that was in very
bad condition. The animals were or
dered out of service | further found
that some of the convicts, upon arriv-
al at the farm, were taken to the
blacksmith and a piece of sharp iron
at either end, about "a inches in
length, was welded to their legs, and
they were compelled to work during
the day and sleep with these irons
fastened to them at night, not even
being allowed to privilege of removing
their clothing"

The American Lifesaving society,
like the official lfesaving service OF
the United States, has great record
for beneficent achievement. The an
nual report shows that last year 573
persons were saved from drowning by
the representatives and employees OF
the society. 1t appears that the water
department of the organization has
$50 lifesaving stations at dangerous
points along the coast and on inland
streams not protected by government
lifesavers OF these stations, manned
by 1920 men, 165 are in New York
city, &c on the shores of Long Island,
ten at Albany and Troy and eight at
other places along the Hudson river.
The work is done through voluntary
contributions, and the value of what
is accomplished speaks for itself

State Capital Notes
Penitentiary Fund Almost Exhausted

Penitentiary Fund Almost Eshaus'eo
1t is believed by Penitentiary Board
members that the entire penitentlary
fund will be expended by August l.
There is still about $1,000 of the penl-
Tertiary appropriation left, but TINS
money is made up of the money earned
by the penitentiary, and at present
there is none of the appropriation LETT
and it is contrary to law for the board
to spend any money unless it Is IN the
appropriation. Under law enacted by
the last legislature it is a violation OF
the law to spend any more money than
is appropriated for a certain purpose
by the Legislature. If the fund gives
out, the penitentiary will then nave
only one source of revenue, the money
secured from the Dickinson contract,
which amounts to about $1,000 a
month, while the operating expenses
of the penitentiary range from SlO,-
600 to SIS. 600 per month. If the board
borrows money or buys supplies on
credit, the board members, according
to the statutes, violate the laws and
render themselves liable tG heavy
fine. What, then, will become OF the
convicts if there is no money with
which to provide clothing, food or
guards? This is the question board
members would like to have answered.
Attorney General w. F. Kirby has
suggested a plan to meet the situation
the board will soon face, saying the
board could hire the convicts to rail-
roads direct at a good price. He
stated he was opposed to the convict
lease system, but that he would Ia
vor working the convicts on railroads,
if a good price is secured for the labor.
ct is my idea" explained the at
torney general, that the state should
work it's convicts on the railroads,
dealing direct with the railroad con-
tractor and abolishing the convict
lease system. There would be no
middle man in my plans
The original appropriation for the
pcnitentiary was $4,000. July I,
s145,0OO of the appropriation had been
expended Out of this amount $4,000
is to be expended for screening and
stockades, leaving about $37 600 of the
appropriation. The $4,000 cannot be
used by the board for any other pur'
pose than that for which 1t was ap-
propriated.
When the books in the auditors Of
fee were closed Monday night, there
was between $4,000 and $4,000 in the
penitentiary fund.
The board is, in addition, confronted
with the Indebtedness assumed when
mules vaued at $500 were bought for
the state farm recently. The mules
are to be paid for by November l.
The board will probably take the
matter up as soon as all the members
are in the city and attempt to solve
the problem. Attorney General Kirby
has already been asked for an opin-
ion on the law which prohibits the ex-
penditure of more money than is ap-
propriated and he will probably give
his opinion on that subject.

Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell, in his
new and elaborate treatise on the
government of England, explains how
and why it is that the rule of the up
per classes is still as popular with the
great mass of the English people as it
is to-day 1t is due, he tells us, to the
popular respect which the representa-
tive men of the upper classes com
mand by a generally unstained reputa-
ton for probity of character. There
are exceptions, of course, but as a
rule they maintain a clean and upright
standing. If this reputation were to
be seriously impaired, the ruling class
would be promptly ywept from power.
1t is high character and the popular
appreciation of it that holds the SUI
premacy.

Lucky Future Generations.

There is a saying of Carlyle that
the greatest hope of our world lies in
the certainty of heroes being born into
it. That is, indeed. a glorious GER
tainty, but the reference might be en-
larged. Birth itself, we venture to
say, not of heroes only, but of the
generations in their succession, is the
infinitely hopeful thing. 1t is the
guarantee that the world will never
grow DID, that it will never stand
still; that no halt is to be called in it's
eternal progress.-Christian World.

The late King Carlos of Portugal

The late King Carlos of Portugal
devoted himself to scientific research
for the good of his people. Becoming
deeply impressed with the Importance
of fisheries to a large number of his
subjects, he determined to study the
distribution and habits of the different
kinds of fish in the Portuguese seas.
Beginning in 1896, he spent part OF
each succeeding year until his death
on his yacht, named Amelia, after his
queen, personally experimenting the
work of sounding, dredging the col
lection and preservation Of specimens.
But his services were not confined to
the ocean, for he took an active inter
est in the welfare and pursuits OF the
agricultural people. Dressed like one
of themselves" says Sir c. r. Mark
ham in the Geographical Journal, 1.-The
king was we'll known on the hillsides
and in the farmsteads." He planned
to prepare a complete manual Of the
birds of Portugal, and published two
sections on the thrushes and warblers,
containing notes on each bird, with his
observations on its first appearance
and departure, locality and habits, and
80 large colored plates. The results
of his oceanographic campaigns are
given in six volumes, the title-pages
having the simple statement, par d.

Richard Garlic. widely known as a
successful comedian and author CT
musical comedies, was born July u.

Mass. His father, Richard Carleton,
was an artist. Young Richard re
ceived his education in the public
schools and high school of his native

after he had completed his high
school course, he followed the call of
the footlights.' The first musical
