 NOW ASSURED.
supt. Cook Receives First Instai'ment of Money For It's support-com-
 mission Not Yet Known.

The maintenance of a state eau cational commission. to act in an aa' visory capacity with the department of education and which has been one of the matters to which Superintend' ent Cook of that department has given much serious thought, is now an as. sured fact. The first installment of money for the support Of the pro posed commission has been received by MT. Cook from the general educa- tion board. This settles the ques- ton of finances, as it is understood the remainder will be forthcoming when needed.
 This money is not to be used to pay salaries to board members, but to meet incidental expenses of meet ings, etc, and particularly to pay the salary of a secretary, who Is to be the active agent of the commis- sion and who will really be the com mission ''in action" President Il. s.

MYTH one month of the season gone w by in big league baseball clrcles' the fans have been furnished with plenty of food for comment
 There have been some surprises ana a few opportunities for the man Who is fond of saying T told you so. me battle in both the National and Amer ic.n leagues has been west vs. west and east ys. east. That is to say, the four eastern teams of each league have been playing against each other, and the four western teams have been fighting for supremacy.s The result in the National league, with possibly one exception, gave less reason Tor sur prise than it did in the American. It was not an occasion for surprise when the Pittsburg team jumped out in front and remained there with the ex- ception of three or four days, when New York and Philadelphia fought for first position. Chicago fans, how ever. could not see why the Cubs should be tied with Cincinnati for fourth place, but they have by no means lost faith in Chance and his bunch of warriors, and they were con- fdent that the Cubs would be up at the ton before the season Is much old CT. Hope was revived when the Cups shut out the Giants in the first game the two old rivals played this year.
 It is agreed that Pittsburg, having filled the hole at first, is stronger this season than 1t was last. Flynn, the former St. Paul player, seems to have heen iust the man Clarke was look ing for. The manager of the Pirates was by no means satisfied with Alp stein's work last year and he let him go to the St. Louis Browns. No other National league team wanted him, eith- ar In the spring training and early nractise Clarke tried three men on first. but Flynn now has the job nailed down tight. He seems to be regular bear cat" with the stick and already has two home runs to his credit, with a three bagger, a couple of doubles 1 and some singles thrown in for good measure. l Charlie Dooin has instilled brand | of ginger into the Phillies that made them play whirlwind game from the start and McGraw has the Giant bunch setting hard pace. The Cincinnati Reds have not done as we'll as expect ed. but Griffith never is beaten until the last man is out, so don't count him l out of the running just yet. Boston, | Brooklyn and St. Louis are about where the experts figure they will be ! when the season ends.
 It may be remembered that at the end of the first month last year Pitts burg had won seven and lost one game to the Chicago Cubs. This season the result was five to three.

Permanent Camp Ground at Beebe.


 The permanent camp ground of the Arkansas National Guard has been located at Beebe, according to an announcement made by Major E L. Compere, assistant adjutant gen. eral of the Arkansas guard. It was definitely decided some time ago that the permanent camp ground should go to Beebe, but announce ment of the decision was withheld until citizens of that town could raise sufficient money to purchase land near Beebe for the camp site. Capt R. B. Andrews of the Beebe militia company states that the mon- ey has been raised and result the announcement was made from mlli- tary headquarters. The citizens of Beebe secured the permanent camp ground over Conway, Benton, Darda- nelle and other places which were after it. They offered to give the state a deed for 1S3 acres of land one mile south of Beebe, located on the Iron Mountain railroad, as an in ducement to secure the location of the camp ground at that place. They also offered to connect the ground with the electric light plant of Beebe and also with the Beebe tel ephone system. They further agreed to deliver all commissary supplies at the camp ground. The ground which is to be deeded to the state is esti- mated to be worth $2,000.
