 Little Rock, Art, Nov a1.--Ths de- fenpe in the case of w. Y. Ellis. charged with having shot to death N. P. Will h4 brought their case to climax to- day with the testimony of Mrs. Lonnie Nybert, formerly chambermaid at a local hotel, who declared that at diff ferent times she had been offered sums of money ranging from S100 to $500, first to make statements tending to attribute improper conduct to Mrs. Willis. now Mrs. Ellis: later that she was offered . sum of money to leave the State and not testify as to the alleged attempt at bribery. The evil dence was admitted oyer the repeated objections of the prosecution.
 The changes In the character of the accused man. his peculiar actions and disposition just before the killing, was the burden of the testimony of half a dozen witnesses from Pine Hun. Ellis's home. who were examined during the day. The changes in the defendant from cheerful man to morose, ab- sent-minded, nervous individual. is one of the sysptofns Of the developments of the insanity which the defense hopes to prove the defendant was under the influence of at the time he shot down the Indiana man.
 Probably all of next week will be consumed by the defense, the greater part in the questioning of alienists and the propounding of a long hypothetical question.

 Cleveland. O.. Nov. 27.--James I Bradley, Jr.. the new dominant factor in Independent telephone interests in Ohio and Indiana practically called off the long standing rate war between the independents and the American Telegraph and Telephone Company in Cleveland today.
 Directly following BraIley's election as Vice-President of the Cuyahoga Telephone Company, the local inde- pendent concern, committee was ap- pointed at his suggestion to consider the raising of telephone rates, cut by the competition, and Bradley himself was named as the chairman of the con- mtttee. In financial circles the move Is thought significant of close com munion of interests between the Bell and independent interests but no ar- asurance of this was given out. Bradley continues to try and get options on in- dependent stock on the market.

Old Opportunities Gone

A Newark paper notes that a man in
that city was a poor country boy and
studied to be a lawyer while peddling
milk on his route. His self denial and
hard work repaid him. A Trenton pa
per notes the fact that the opportunity
of by-gone days is past. He would still
be peddling milk to pay if he depended
upon a milk can for a book rest.
A large number of the men who are
practicing law at the bar of New Jer
sey to-day were admitted to practice
under rules different from those that
are in force now. A fence has been
built around the profession that is high
enough to keep the poor ambitious boy
out of it.
This applies not only to the legal but
other professions. Before II can be
admitted to study a profession the per-
SOL must have a high school education
or its equivalent. If the person does
not have a certificate of graduation
from a high school on the approved list
of the State Board of Education the ap
plicant must pass an examination. If
a parent ever wishes their boy or girl
to be qualified for the advanced posi-
tions i'll life it should be their ambition
to have them graduate from a high
school, because it may give them oppor-
tunities that would not otherwise open
to them and save them harder study to
pass a hard examination.
PENIS Grove school is on the approx
ed list and should be kept there. While
many think pupils tmuch not needful
in practical life, a high school educa-
ton is the required foundation for a
professional or technical education, and
broadens the mind SO the pupil can
study themselves other practical things
which some think should be drilled in
to~them i'll school. Lowell years ago
said:
"New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth h;
They m ust upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth"

Must Leave Delaware Mud There

Fearing that the State of Delaware,
small already in area is gradually being
stolen by the State of New Jersey, the
Senate of Delaware has passed a bill
prohibiting the removal of any ~dredgings,
soil or mud from the State of Delaware
or its water front or channels. A fine Of
$500 or six months Imprisonment is to
be imposed upon any master, pilot or
engineer of any vessel hereafter discov-
cred in the act OF titus removing Della
ware or any part thereof from it's place
on the map, Senator Rowland, who is
a pilot, charged that this pilfering of rich
Delaware soil for barren and sandy Jer-
sey had been going Oh for months and
that when Washington Park is reached
the dredgings are taken from the scow
by patent Suckers" The bill passed
without a dissenting vote.
