GO ON 4oDoRLEss" DRINKS.
5ibuIous of Nashville Secure Intoxi-
cant Mystifyina to Police.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. For two
months the police have been combat
ing the "odorless drink" Men are
carried into the station house every
day drunk with something that leaves
no odor on the breath.
When they are questioned as to
what they have been drinking, they
almost invariably say 'sbeerette," but
beerette is not considered intoxicant.
The "odorless drunks'' are usually
without bottles in their pockets. There
were forty-one drunlxs on the police
docket yesterday.

SIGNIFICANT FACTS DISCLOSED
THIS AFTERNOON IN COURT.

According to testimony in Judge Fl.
+. Miller's court this afternoon, a new
line of booze is on the market In North
Dakota. In the case OF the state
against Napoleon Chagnon, Horace
druggist, the state introduced evil
dence showing that certain beverage
labeled 'Digesto," tested 5.S3 per cent
alcohol. This is the strongest that
any alleged "near-beer" has tested and
furnished something of surprise.
. Deputy Sheriffs Bingham and Ross
seized three barrels containing about
lao pints each. and az bottles which
were kept on ice, all of which are be-
ing used against the defendant.

Education Holds First Place
In Efforts of Ardnore Citizens

The grammar school was length
cned a year, giving a longer stretch
OF time to the fundamentals. This
makes the high school doubly inter.
es'ing and fa~ less difficult. Then the
mathematical course was widencd
and dcepened Algebra. given less
than year was Increased 10 a year.
Although limited in power by the
laws. without statehood 10 ad and
with no federal patronage, yet the
trustees of the schools have steadily
projected scheme afte- scheme by
which the children of this city could
have the best and most modern
school Conyenicnces. In this the!
have been most nobly sustained by

voted for two $4,000 buildings for
the eastern wards OF the city These
have been erected and are now be
ing used. They are modern in every
particular The negro building this
year will give way TO modern frame
