Family Reunion.

The Allen? family, covering
three generations, had a re
union on Thursday last at which
were present 81 members, anc
the number of absentees were
almost equal to those present, 5;
finding it impossible to come.
The first generation was rep
resented by Mrs. Eliza Robbins,
]. M. Allen, Mrs. Prather, Bald
wyn; Mrs. W. H. Clifton, Aber-
deem; Brooks Allen, Little Rock;
Mrs. Bob Allen, Iuka; Mrs. w.
M. Cox, Baldwin. This included
all of the brothers and sisters,
except j. H. Allen Of st. Louis.
For the first time in 81 years
Mrs., Robbins had all of her
children at home in a body,
those living away being Mrs.
Frank Goar, Tennessee: Mrs.
Allen. Florida; Jim Robbins.
Tennessee: Ed Robbins, Hatties-
burg; Hal Robbins. st. Louis;

Mrs. j. H. Ledyard constitute

children ranging in ages from
the infant to the young man and
lady who are nearing their ma
jority.
At noon sumptuous dinner
was spread on the beautiful
lawn at the home of D. w. Rob-
bins.
Such gatherings offer occasions

large families can in the fullest
enjoy an old-fashioned

TUPELO WATER
GOOD TO DRINK.
Latest Analysis Shows it to be
the Peer of any and Second
to None in the State.

Feeling that every precautior
should be used to preserve the
good health of the people of Tup-
elo. Mayor Robins and Superin
tendent st John of the Water
works plant sent a sample of the
water furnished to the citizens
of the town from the municipal
plant to State Chemist w. F..
Hand for analysis and received
from Mr.. Hand the subjoined re-
port. While the report is what
the authorities expected it is
gratifying to know that the water
of Tupelo continues to measure
up to its stanard of purity and
healthfulness. The sample ar
alysed was drawn from the fau-
Get at the Myor's Office and was
therefore a fair test of the supply
furnished all over the town.
Following is Prof. Hands re-
port:
Agricultural College, Miss,
July 26, 1909.
Mr.. w. H. st John. Supt Tupelo Mu-
nicipal Plant, Tupelo, Miss.
Dear Sir: Referring to the samples
of water which you sent here some
days ago, beg to etate that we have
examined sample No. 3 and we find
this water to contain II. 71S grains solid
matter to the U. S. gallon. This con-
sists mostly of sodium chloride together
with small amounts of sulphate and
carbonate. There is only trace OF
free ammonia, no albumoid amonia, no
n trites and no nitratts.
We are glad, therefore, to state that
this appears to be an excellent water,
a ID We are certain that you will be
glad 10 feel that the water is safe and
well adapted fer household and indus
trial use, if the sample we have is a
representative one.
Assuring you that it is pleasure for
US to serve you. am,
Yours very trnly.

School Board Meets.

The Lee county School Board
met in annual session at the Of
flee of the County superintendent
of Educatinn with the full men,
bership present as. follows: o.
K. Kennedy, j. H. Holloway, j..
A. Morgan, 7. M. Clark, E. F.
Temple.
The number of petitions for
new schools and the change of
the present locations, were much
smaller than is usual. The appli-
cations for new schools were re-
jected on account of the fact that
the county has its quota of schools
as provided for by the law and
and the number could not be in
creased by the board.
The petition of patrons to move
the school located at Providence
to a point several miles west was
granted and the new location
will be at Eureka. 1t was rep
resented to the board that the
school at Nettleton was neal
enough to Providence to furnish
ample facilities to the children
there and that it would work nc
hardship to move the school
With this view Of the matte
the board granted the petition
AS Providence was a line schoo
the matter had to be taken u
with the school board Of Monro

Fellow teacher, what are you
doing to improve yourself? Are
you trying to make a better

you striving to do better work

fluence? Are you trying to
make your county the leading
county, and your State the lead.
ing State in the union along edu-
cational lines? These are some
of the things that we, as teach
Eers should aim at. Think of the
benefit you can be to your
country. You have more in
fuence over the young mind than
any one excepting the child's
parents. Is that influence to be
good, or bad? I say; IF you are
not certain you can make it good,
stay out of the school room as
a teacher until you can make it
good"
Our teachers are not what they
should be, that is, a great many
of them are not. Of course many
of our teachers are Jealous work
ers and are doing great good, but
the number should be increased.
Too many teachers have the
almighty dollar in view, and not
the child's future life; not the
good of our country. We all
know that it is only a matter of
a few years until we are to pass
from the stage of life, and the
minds we are training today will
have to grasp the helm and steer
| the ship of state. Are we train
ing these young minds to-day in
a way that as we pass from the
active stage of life we can say,
with pride; Il helped to train
those minds?" God pity you if
you are not.
The teachers have it in their
power to be the greatest bene-
factors Of any profession under
/ the sun, and if they fail to do it,
each and every one that fails te
do his or her duty, shall be re.
warded as the Improbable ser

and buried his talent.

ASSASS|Hs' BULLETS
STRIKE DOWN PRIEST.
Members of His Church Suspected
of Being Implicated in Murder of
Polish Father.

Newark, n. J., March 10-Three
men walked into the study of Faith
er Eramus Ansion, pastor of the
Polish church of St Sanilaus today,
and opened fire on him. Three bull
lets from their revolvers hit the
priest, killing his instantly.
The three men turned to escape
and found their way blocked by
Mrs. Antonio Sewrzytska, the house,
keeper. One of the men then shot
her, inflicting what is probably a
fatal wound. All three escaped.
Two hundred of Father Ansion's
parishioners, who were attending
services in the churcn adjoining,
heard the shots and rushed out, led
by the assistant priests, but not soon
enough to capture the assassins.
There has been considerable fac
tional trouble in the congregation.
and Father Ansion, when he came
from Patterson to take charge of
the church five months ago, made
several changes which caused wide
spread dissensions.
Four members of St. Stanislaus
church were arrested on suspicion.

DECISION IS FAR REACHING
Jury Instructed to Find For
Defendant--Other lndict-
ments Pending--Authorities
Say Anderson's Ruling Viii
Invalidate Class Tariffs.

Chicago, March 10.-"Not guilty.
This is the result reached today in
the governments famous suit against
the Standard Oil company Of Indiana.
The suit of the government, wherein
the defendant company at one time
faced fine of $29,240, 600 at the hands
of Judge Lands on a charge Of hav-
ing accepted rebates from the Chica-
go & Alton railroad, came to an end
abruptly. Judge Anderson, before
whom the case was brought after re-
versal by the United States court of
appeals. instructed the jury to find a
verdict of not guilty.
Judge Anderson's decision was not
altogether unlocked for, he having
previously announced that the proof
relied upon in the first trial was in
competent and it was with something
of an air of hopelessness that District
Attorney Sims and his assistants at
tempted to show the admissibility of
the Illinois classifications to prove the
existence of a legal rate of eighteen
cents. This was a vital point in the
governments argument. Assistant
District Attorney Wilkerson admitted
that the prosecution could not supply
the proof deed necessary and suggest
ed a dismissal. Attorney Miller then
moved for the instruction Of a verdict
Of not guilty. This was ordered.

States circuit court of appeals. re
versing Judge Lands. together with
the action of the United States su-
preme court, in refusing to review the
decision of the court Of appeals, play
ed an important part in disposing of
the case.
AS to whether the prosecution on
seven other indictments still pending
against the company will be instituted,
District Attorney Sims would not ex-
press an opinion. stating that this
rested entirely with the attorney.
The federal authorities said tonight
that Judge Anderson's ruling would
impossible to convict a shipper for
violation of class tariff regulations.
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, who wrote
the opinion of the circuit court of ap-
peals upon which Judge Anderson
based his action, said: The thing for
the government to do is to do away
with classifications in the regulation
tariff rates and make the railroads
file tariffs that specify the rate on
each commodity without regard to
This might mean a
great cost to the railroads, but know
nothing Of that. Changing of tariffs,
however. means particular changes to
meet conditions. and means no more
of a complete change than is made in

rectory."
Judge Landis had nothing to say

A FEARFUL POSSIBILITY
That the Speaker Will Rec
ognize No Difference Be-
tween Them and Mistake
Them All as Democrats In
Making Up Committees.

Washington. D. c., March 1O.-The
insurgents" and democrats were il
dulging in much speculation at the
capltol today as to what would be the
policy of Speaker Cannon in selecting
the committees Of the next house in
the event that he is successful in the
present fight. The democrats are ap-
prehensive that the speaker will as
sumo the right to fill the minority as
well as the majority places on the
committees.
Several democrats have appealed to
the speaker directly for appointment
on certain committees. When John
Sharp Williams was minority leader
Speaker Cannon referred all such ap-
plications to the minority leader. He
has taken no such action at this time.
Minority Leader Clark's friends say he
can interpret this course in but one
way, when no conferences have been
had between the minority leader and
the speaker. and it is understood none
is scheduled
The democrats viii make political
capital out of the failure to recognize
the minority leader They will argue
that this is another illustration of the
despotic power Of the speaker. Another
possibility worrying both the demo-
Gratis and insurgents is that Speaker
Cannon may classify Insurgents as mi
nority members of the house and make
up the committees on that basis. That
would reduce the democratic represen-
tatiOn on the committees and might
prove embarrassing to the insurgents
Mr.. Clark conferred today with
Messrs. Nelson and Gardner of the in
surgents. All said afterward that the
fight on the rules was not to be aban-
doned, and it was denied that the DEM
ocrats and insurgents had entered into
an agreement as to voting for any spe-
cific rule.

PHOENIX ARIZONA THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH

felons. There was no exception be-
cause of inability to read in the
English language. So far the con-
|ditions bear an analogy to those in
Arizona.
In 1898 the constitution of Maine
was changed. 1t was then provid-
led that mo person shall have the
right to vote or be eligible to office
under the constitution of this state
who shall not be able TO read the
constitution in the English language,
and write his name: Provided, how
ever, that the provisions of this
amendment shall not apply to any
person prevented by a physical dis
ability from complying with. its re-
QUESTIONS, nor to any person who
now has the right to vote, nor to
any person who shall be sixty years
of age or upwards at the time this
amendment shan take effect"
Comment is hardly necessary. The
people of Maine would not and did
not disfranchise those who had had
heretofore the right to vote. All
they sought to do was to require Of
new voters a knowledge sufficient to
be able to read the constitution. But
this bill disfranchises hundreds of
voters not only of our Mexican citi-
zens, but many possibly OF Swedish
or Danish descent or birth, of Ger
man, Italian and others. So sensa-
tive were the people of Maine of the
rights of its citizens that they would
not even attempt to dlsrranchise men
who had attained the age of sixty
years, realizing that men Of that
age are not likely able to acquire
new language. The proposed law of
however, is sa ruthless and
harsh that 1t disregards these just
priciples and disfranchises and pen
alizes citizens for not doing what |
no other people ever did dO-acquire |
under like circumstances a knowl- |
edge of the use Of a language not |
their own native tongue.
The justification of this law can
not be found in the provisions of the |
Maine constitution. Those provisions |
teach exactly a contrary lesson. They |
condemn, rather than warrant, the |
unjust provision of what it has |
pleased some to call our educational |
qualification law"
Hundreds of tax payers will be |
by this proposed law. |

FROZEN TO DEATH
At ALBUQUERQUE
Roofs Blown Away and Buildings
Damaged by Fierce Gale in New
Mexico.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, March 10
This city was swept by a terrific
gale today, the wind attaining a We
locity of so miles an hour. An un-
known man was found frozen to
death a few miles south of town.
The roof of the Shortle tuberculosis
sanitarium was blown away and the
new federal building was badly
damaged. Both buildings were under
construction and unoccupied. The
storm was accompanied by a rapid
fall in the temperature to 10 de-
grees below zero and it is feared
that cattle and sheep grazing on the
open plains suffered severely.
Five sheep herders abandoned their
flock and attempted to make their
way to the city this morning. No
trace of the men can be found and
it is feared they have -perished.
