Little Rock SwelterS.

Little Rock, August I7.-Little Rock is at present sweltering more than it has for several years. The thermometer rose yesterday until it reached Io3 and then began to ease downward at the rate of a small fraction of degree an hour. The night was an exceptionally warm one with scarcely any breeze to be found. Only one sunstroke was reported yesterday, Will Armis tead, a mechanic of the Iron Mountain shops, but horses were overcome by the heat wherever there were large numbers of them worked. Several large contractors report losing valuable animals. The weather bureau promises re- lief in the shape of rain within the next AS hours

ITO. ONE MAN IS
 PROSTRAT[D

Instead of the promised relief from the hot wave, the mercury scared still higher today, reaching no degrees at 5 o'clock this after noon and breaking all previous records for the past ten years. AL though the intense heat is causing much suffering everywhere, only one prostration is known to have occurred here today. J. Haydon was overcome shortly after noon, but his condition is not thought to be serious.
 Today's thermometer reading IS higher than any since 1899, when on August I2 and B the mercury touched TIP. Two years ago, the government thermometer here registered a maximum of 100 or above for seven consecutive days, August to I2, and reached TOY on August 10 and I2
 The blistering winds from the north and west are doing enormous damage to vegetation of every kind. County Demonstrator J. E Rogers stated that the last three days have had a worse effect on the crops than he ever noted i'll a similar length of time. Toe corn that was nos already made is prac- tically burnt up, while cotton IS whitening and shedding it's fruit rapidly. Many large oak trees around Conway are dy- ing as result of intense heat and drouth and leaves are falling as in mid autumn
 Business is almost at a standstill during the hot wave and no one Is

GOVERNOR PLEASED
 WITH STATE GUARD

Little Rock, Aug. I7.-Gover nor G. w. Donaghey returned to Little Rock today from Dardanelle, where he yesterday reviewed the troops in encampment at Camp George w. Donaghey. Governor Donaghey says the troops were so we'll drilled he could not tell them from the regulars and expressed the opinion that if the state troops were called out they would give a better showing of themselves than the regulars. He says the soldiers are as fine looking body of men as he ever looked upon, and if he had not been compelled to come back to his office today, he would have remained to enjoy another day in camp life.

RUNAWAY TEAM
 SPILLS DYNAMITE

That the business section around the corner of front and North streets is still on the maI this morning is matter of con graduation for the business men oi that section. Late yesterday after noon the horse attached to one oi w. M. Harrell & Company's deliv cry wagons became frightened at their warehouse and plunged out on Front street with load of six cases or 300 sticks of dynamite and two kegs of blasting powder. At the corner of N. C. Martin & Sons store one of the cases of dynamite fell from the wagon and the impact was so great that the box was bursted to pieces and the sticks of the high explosive rolled about on the street. It is consid- cred by those acquainted with the properties of dynamite almost a miracle that the jar of falling did not explode the case, which in turn would probably have ex- ploded the contents of the wagon and wrought havoc to the adjacent buildings.

ACTS OF 1909
 NEARLY READY

Little Rock, Aug. I7.-Every act of the last legislature is now in print and only small bit of the indexing remains to be done be- fore the binders will have the fin, ishing touches on the Acts of 1909 to complete. The book itself will not look so volumiuous as the Acts of 1907, it being 30 pages less, showing the work of the two legis- latures to be about even, so far as volume is concerned. The acts this year will contain I24o pages. To this will be added about no pages of index. The book bears an index both front and back. Secretary of State Ludwig says 1t will take only two days more to complete the indexing and the books will be ready for delivery by September I, a new record for speed in getting out the acts.

 THEFT OF CHICKENS

Public School Notes.

School opens this year with an
enrolment of 225. The High school
is quite full, every seat being ta-
ken. One noticeable feature Of the
high school enrolment Is this, out
of forty students enrolled only four
teen are the boys. Where are the
boys? The eighth grade is also
small, having only fifteen members
at present.
The only change in the course Of
study is substituting German for
Bookkeeping in the High School.
German will be offered as a two
year study in the tenth and elev-
enth grades.
There was an informal meeting
of the teachers Saturday afternoon
at the High School. Mr.. Wheeler
and Mr.. Wanek Of the board of
education were present to intro
duce the teachers to n another.
All teachers were present with the
exception of Miss Scott of the sixth
grade who was delayed by the
wreck up the road.
Miss Eustis, assistant principal,
spent part of Friday and Satur-
day at Tyndall at the Institute.
Frank Gum who enrolled in the
high school has decided to attend
school at Brookings instead.
We have been informed that a
number of pupils have been in the
habit Of waiting one, two or three
weeks before starting to school.
Don't do it. Start right away. It
will make your work easier, for you
will start with the class and it will
be better for the class because late
pupils always act as a drag on the
rest of the class.
1t has been decided by the board
that pupils shall not be admitted
to the first grade who are not six
years old or within two months or
SO of it.
