pupils spreading them to others and
most of the spreading is done through
the use of common drinking cups in

state board will insist on all pupils as

with the next school year. The aboli-

Teacher Made Permanently Blind.
Prof W. c. Hutchinson, the high
school proncipal, who lost his eyesight
by an explosion in the high school
laboratory is resting easy at his home.
He was brought home from the hos
pital when the doctors announced that
there was no longer any danger that
the accident would result fatally
They could hold out no hope, however,
that his eyesight would ever be re-
stored. He will not be able to dis
tinguish daylight from darkness. The
doctors believe there will be no scars
on his face except slight designations
upon his eyelids. His face and hands
still bear marks made by the break
ing of glass, although he says he does
not suffer any pain.

Little Rock, February 9 Arkansas is one of the most ver- satile states in the Union for in- dustries in the propagation Of different species of animals, but the climax is to be reached by a young Illinoisan of enterpl ise who wishes to purchase a sufficient amount of swamp land in the state to start a coon and skunk ranch. Commissions Of Lands l. l.. COffman has received letter from a resident of amall town in Illinois, requesting information as to the price of lands Of this character which would be suit able for the purpose of raising coons and skunks Not being well posted upon 'wamp iands, he be- ing from the hills of Arkansas.

tempt for moving the cOnvicts from the Arkansas Brick Manu- featuring Co. after an injunction had been granted prohibiting such action. Conservative members of the House give little countenance to such assertions, saying the legislative body would not cOerce the courts in any such manner. One of the leading members of the Little Rock bar laughs at the assertion however, saying the legislature would find it's hands tied if it attempted any such pro- ceeding. for the Chancery Court, Of Pulaski is provided for by the Constitution of 1874, and was given jurisdiction over the entire state. so that the legislature could not abolish the court if it so desired The attorney says the other Chancery courts Of the state have been created by the legislative acts, and the creative body can abolish them if it sees fit, but not the Pulaski county Chancery Court. According to the Constitution, the Pulaski County Chancery Court can hold jurisdic- tiOn in any county of the state, not doing so however on account of there being other courts which are closer to the scene of action.

trust has constantly violated both the
criminal and CiyiI laws OF our country
II Is unconscionahle and has continue lly
robbed the American people since its
organization. Instead Of knocking al the
door Of congress, seeking To increase Its
fortunes a the expense of the masses of
the people by reason OF favorable legis-
lation, its officers and those directing
and controlling It's formation and opera

Mr.. Clay reviewed the esta blishment Of
the so-called sugar trust" which was
formed. he said, in 1881 by the consolid-
alton OF twenty OF the leading refineries
While the actual value OF the property Of
the trust was not greater than $40 600. 900

Mr.. Clay reviewed the various cases
and claims Of the government pending
against the sugar trust "OfGicials repre-
senting the government, who have made
Nm investigation into these fraudulent
transactions he continued "believc that
the American Sugar Refining company
has robbed the treasury of more than

deserves no mercy al the hands OF con-
gress, and most assuredly no favors at

Senator Raymer also defended his
vote in favor of free iron ore, which,
he said, he had east TO help IN breaking
up the United States Steel corporation.
Mr., Pavntcr sought to reduce the
duty on linotype and typesetting ma
chimes from 80 per cent ad valorem as
provided in the tariff bill, TO 10 per
cent. but his amendment was rejected.

Gnoncludng, Mr; Clay declared that the
Payne tariff bin Will give no substantial
relief to the American people.
The senate dropped into a party dis
cussIon late today and Democrats and
Republicans tainted each other with
the dissenslons each party has suffered
during the consideration of the tariff
The debate was precipitated by Mr.
Bailey, who charged the Republicans
with entering into conspiracy TO eX-
aggcrate and misrepresent Democratic
dlssensious in order 10 hide their own
difficulties
This statement called Mr. Hale 10 his
feet. lie assured Senator Bailey that
there was no reason for such suspicious.
Mr. Hale declared there would be no
failure 10 enact protective tariff bill
and he declared that when il was, all
over, all the Republicans would support
ii and all the Democrats would op-
pose IT,
Mr.. Bailey resuming, referred to an
interview with Governor Johnson of
Minnesota, criticising the minority in
It's attitude toward the bill.
''lf this represents the views of Mr..
Johnson Mr.. Bailey said, "then we
might better be at home studying the
tariff question than seeking Democratic
favor in other states. If this interview
was authorized or sanctioned by Cover
nor Johnson he was utterly reckless of
the truth and is disqualified for any
station. His explanation is that the
railroads Of the South have interested
themselves in this legislation and have
overcome the conscience of some SEN
ators. He ought 10 name the men to
whom he refcrs,'
Not for Free Trade.
Mr.. Bailey declared that the day
when Democrats should favor free raw
material had passed.
He defended the vote of Democrats
who favored n revenue tax on iron ore.
He ridiculcd GIVE per cent reduction -

he said were for the benefit of manu-
