TEACHERS HAVE PLAN
FOR READING STUDY

At the convention of Arizona teach
FRS held last November plans were
made to organize and improve the
eading done by both teachers and
scholars by means Of reading circles.
This work is being done in other
states with excellent results and the
present effort is being made to obtain
for Arizona the same intellectual up
lift which comes from well planned
systematic reading. A committee
was appointed TO look after this work
consisting of F. ID. Smith. B. r. Den
mis- and ]. b. Jolly, and as the asso-
citation was not in position TO under
take any expense this committee has
done It's work gratis.
This committee Is now sending out
a small pamphlet on the subject. It
states that they have selected for
reading by teachers during 1910 two
works, Chamberlain's Standards OF
Education" and Aliens "Civics and
Health"
The plan of the committee contem-
plates the organizing of local circles
and the holding of meetings at stated
intervals under the guidance of some
appointed leader. Still those teach
ers who cannot attend such meetings
should not neglect the work.
Hon. Kirke T. Monroe. superinten-
dent of public education, believes
that some credit should be allowed
for faithfulness in this sort of work
and doubtless some uniform plan for
recognition will be adopted.
The following is the schedule out
lined

HOW MURDOCH LOST
RAILROAD POSITION
LEAVES ENGINE TO HUNT QUAIL
AND SUPERINTENDENT COMES
ALONG.
douglas internationally

Frank Murdoch of Globe has been
in the city for several days on bust
ness which included the purchase Of
a Cadillac from z. r. Pirtle. He Is
a good story teller himself and can
appreciate as well joke by others
even IL that joke be on himself. A
good one was told on him yesterday
and he frankly admitted the authen-
ITCHY of the story.
Murdoch was formerly a railroad
man and was on the rails for fifteen
years. He is a hunter of the most
enthusiastic type and will not let
anything interfere with his sport in
this direction. 1t was this proclivity
which ended his railroad career And
this is the story:
Murdoch was an engineer on the
Southern Pacific and on the particu-
lar occasion mentioned was running
a passenger tarin which had to side
track and await the passing of a
train from the opposite direction.
While waiting on the siding Murdoch
took a new shot gun he had just pur-
chased and went out into the brush
hunting quail. The others of the
train crew occupied themselves in
other ways which were also not con-
nected with their duties. Thus no
one noticed the approach of a special
which drew up and stopped behind
their train. This special carried the
new superintendent of the division
making his first tour of inspection.
The super caught the whole crew and
discharged them then and there. Muir
dock for having left his post to hunt
quail and the others for various
breaches of rules and discipline. Muir
dock declares that shotgun was the
most effective weapon he has ever
known for at one discharge it kill
ed" an engineer. fireman, conductor
and two brakemen. The experience
proved the turning point of Murdocks
career for on his discharge he went
to Globe and has prospered as he
never could have had be continued
railroading. Had he remained in the
service he would now be running a
locomotive for some company instead
of his own motor car.

Postmaster Caldwell announced this
morning that a new postoffice would
be established at Pirtleville in the
very near future. The citizens OF
Pirtlevine have been striving for a
home mail service for several years
and have finally succeeded in con-
vineing the government of their i'm
portance. One day last week post
office inspector was here and went
carefully over the Pirtleville situa-
ton and found that the population
there was sufficient to fully warrant
the establishment Of a fourth class
postoffice. This he recommended TO
the post office department and dur
ing the month of February it is ex-
pected that the Pirtleville postoffice
will be established and a postmaster
appointed to take charge Of it.

The case of the Territory VS.. H. II.
StoIfard. accused of the murder OF
John Underwood near Lee Station
Friday bids fair TO be one of the most
interesting in the criminal annals of
CocAise county. This developed at
the preliminary examination before
Justice OF the Peace Ben Rice which
begin az ten O'Clock this morning.
District Attorney J. s. Williams con-
ducfed the examination for the prose
cuticn and Attorney A. c. lockwood
is counsel for the defense.
WAen the witnesses were called at
the Stoilard hearing It was seen that
the defense would introduce no testi-
mcuy. Three witnesses were sworn
for the defense of whom but two were
called and later a fourth witness was
swern.
The first witness called was James
Mclaughlin who told of young Stol-
lard coming to the Fisher ranch. OF
Stoitard telling him that he was in
trouble as ne had killed Underwood
in self defense. He asked that some
one go to guard the body and another
notify the officers. Mclaughlin went
TO the body and Fisher gave notice
TO the authorities in Douglas.
Williams Springs Surprise
II was known from the testimony
at the inquest about what the line of
defense will be. The district attor-
ney started on a different line from
what had been expected. He develop
ed that Mclaughlin had traced ami
mails for years and then started 20
prove that the killing was murder by
the tracks of the horses and wagon.
Mclaughlin had a diagram he had
drawn and on this he traced the track
of the wagon to where it stopped. the
course pursued by Underwood, testi-
tying that the horse had not stopped
until after the shot was fired and had
never approached nearer than IL feet

crawied after he first fell to the
ground. This testimony was in d.
rect contradiction to the testimony
of StoIisrd's father and mother on the
inquest 1t made distinctly unfavor-
able impression on the court room
which was crowded.
Next Jasper Choate was called. He
qualified as an expert in wooderaft
and trailing by % years experience
in West Texas. He told of what he
found in the way of tracks. While he

ments.
Springs Second Surprise
Then Williams sprung his second

er. He told of the alleged quarrel, OF
his son trying to get Underwood TO

to urge his horse closer to the wagon.
His testimony differed materially
from that deduced by the other Wit

Saturday the following notice was
sent to every grocer in Keokuk by
the city solicitor:
Notice has been brought to this
office that certain grocery stores in
this town have been open on Sunday,
contrary to the state laws. All fu-
ture offenses of this kind will be
prosecuted"
Thus is note of warning sounded
to violators of the Sunday closing
law. The matter was brought to the
attention of the city solicitor during
the week by several grocers, and it
was requested that some action be
taken. The grocers allege that sever
al dealers in the city have been sell
ing goods on Sunday. Some time ago
the Retail Grocers Association insti-

but no prosecutions are looked for
this time, unless specific charges are
brought against yiolators in the fu-
ture
The city solicitor has also sent out
notices to property owners between
Second and Twelfth and Johnson and

Recently the committees of the
Federation completed a survey of the
city as suggested by the American In
stitute OF Social Service of New York
City, whose president is Josiah Strong.
The investigation extended over a
large number of questions, which
might be grouped under main features.
government, finance. industries, public
utilities, schools. churches, tenn
perance, amusements and gen
eral information. The commit.
tees were much interested In
the investigation and completed the
work assigned with commendable
thoroughness
Mr.. W. D. P. Bliss writing for the
American Institute OF Social Service
on June 28th, 1910, says: 1--WE have
considered your survey, talked it over
in committe meeting. and are prepar-
ed to make some suggestions. We
want 10 say in the first place, however.
We think, If you will allow us TO say
SO. that your report, made up as 1t is
OF returns from various committees,
shows an ability of organization and
OF handling the subject that ought
to encourage you, and promised good
results. We also think that in con-
trast with most cities in the United
States. you are to be congratulated
on the conditions in Keokuk. Never
theless there is work, we think. that
could profitably be done DIR. Strong,
on hearing your report, said Things
are so good there that they ought to
be better"

regard to the improvement of labor
conditions md the social life of the
