Torreyson of the department of education has addressed an urgent let ter to the high school teachers of the state, asking their cooperation in com piling data in line with the above, set ting forth the condition of the high schools with which they are connected
 "Please give the description of condi- tions as they exist at this time; not as they are expected to be, ' is pertinent request in the letter. Prof Torreyson wants the real facts, in order that whatever conditions deserve commend ing may be commended, and whatever conditions need remedying may be remedies.
 Among the data requested are the following: Number of weeks in school term; number of pupils in high school; :; number paying tuition; number of teachers; rate of district tax; total amount of moneys received; information as to high school buildings, etc.

Cooperation for Drainage.

yetteville.-Urging the advisabil- ity of cooperation between the land owners and the state and federal authorities in the movement to re- claim the smamp lands of Eastern Arkansas, Prof. George A. Cole, the president of the Arkansas Farmers Union, has written to B. F. Yoakum, of the Frisco Railroad system, in answer to a letter from MT. Yoakum on the same subject.
 Prof Cole calls attention to the great need for perfect drainage in Eastern Arkansas, and to the re- suits which would be obtained from such d.ainage.
 He suggested that the government should furnish the means for such drainage by opening the natural wa- terways and the construction of ca nals and chanels to relieve the law lands of al surplus water, whic is menace to crops.
 Prof Cole also stated that it was his intention to call the attention of the agricultural and commercial in- terests of Arkansas 10 the plan, in order that concerted action may be taken.

BOLD TRAIN ROBBER
ROCK ISLAND PULLMAN PASSEN-
 GERS LOSE GRIPS.
at Open WindoW-Train Was at Hot Springs Depot.

Hot Springs.-A bold thief thrust his hands through the window of sleper on the Rock Island at Hot Springs and secured two grips con taining money and valuable jewelry
 Mrs. J. NJ. Culbert, society editor of the Arkansas Gazette, saw man reach through the window of berth No. 10, but she thought workman was engaged in fixing something about the car, which was standing dereetly in front of the depot The suspicion of the woman was aroused however, when she saw the same hand reach through the window at berth No. 12 and extract a heavily packed grip.
 Mrs. Culbert attempted to ring tn electric bell to summon help, but the wires had been cut A scream for help brought the porter and general alarm was sounddd.
 One of the grips stolen was the property of Mrs. Charles Ortmeyer who was moving to Little Rock, and had the grip packed with jewelry, silverware and cut glass, which she was anxious to have remain under personal care. The other grip be- longed to C.. J. c. Clayton, of St. Louis, the representative of a piano house, and contained valuable papers and jewelry. In the grip owned by | Mrs. Ortmyer were two checks, one for S500.e0 and the other for $25 00
 Mir. and Mrs. Ortmeyer and Mir Clayton arrived in Little Rock, and the authorities ct Hot Springs were notified of the tbefts. The grips were were taken just as the train was preparing to leave Hot Springs, and it is said the conductor refused to step the train when he learned what had happened. The telegraph office at Benton was closed and the author ities were not apprised of the theft until tn guilty party had ample time in which to make good his escape.

Mrs. Cook LoYaI.

New York.-W. NJ. Cook, brother of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, declared that Mrs. Cook has been joined by her hus- band, and that he is in communication with them. Mrs. Cook is believed to have the explorer s original records of his north pole quest in her possession
 'Dr. Cook has by no means aban. doned his intention to prove conclu- sively, despite the verdict of the Co penhagen University, that he reached the north pole, said his brother, q and his det:actors will have pretty bill to pay.
 "The talk that Mrs. Cook is es- tranged from the doctor, and that she contemplates suit for separation, with large alimony, is unwarranted. Mrs Cook is standing by her husband, and will continue to do so until death sep arates them.

RECEIVING LICENSE FUNDS.
State Authorities Give Encouraging
 Report of Finances.

The first revenue from liquor licenses was paid into the state treasury this year by Ouachita county, which turned in a total of $2,450. This amount, it is expected, will about cover the total amount of liquor license revenue from that county, as only small amount is collected from that source in that county each year. More revenue from the liquor licenses is expected to be turned into the state treasury this coming week.
 State Auditor lobe may call on Pu- laski county or one or two other coun- ties to advance some liquor license money if it becomes necessary. All the money from the entire state from that source is due by January 20 under the statutes. The total amount is ex- pected to between $90,G0 and $95,000. The amount of liquor license from Pu- laski county this year will be greater than last year, and is expected to be about $24,000. Whether there will be an increase from the state as whole remains to be seen.
 The next source of revenue for the general revenue fund.- following the pay ment of the liquor liceuge, will be the money received from insurance com panies. This may amount to as low as $65, ,000 or go as high as $S0,000. Tie revenue from that source is due any time between February 20 and March 10.
 Then will come the money from the general collections. The collections un- der that statute should close April To- but in many counties collections are re- ceived after that date, ard the state re- ceives its share from then on for a month or two afterward.
 The penitentiary fund still owes the general revenue fund $45,000 out of the $98,000 borrowed by act of the recent legislature. Hence, all things consid cred, many in touch with the financial status of the state are inclined to be lieve that from the liquor licenses, in surance companies and what the peni tentiary may pay yet, the general reve nue fund will derive sufficient cash tc operate the state government until the general collections are paid in, pro viding that fund is not called upon tc pay anything other than ordinary gov ermental operating expenses.

Toasts Without Wine.

It IS quite proper to give :oasts at a dinner where no wine is served. AS a substitute small glasses of sweet cider may be used, grape juice, fruit punch. which contains no liquor; orangeade. or lemonade, or any one or another of the so-called soft drinks" The drink Is served in wine or champagne glass es at the proper time for the Crinking, of the toasts. Perhaps the nicess thing, in the opinion of many people. Is white grape juice. It is very pretty pale amber color usually. and fss particularly suitable for serving aE dinner.

LABOR PRICE DROPS R. L. RALEIGH SURRENDERS PEN- ITENTIARY CONTRACT. w. L. Reeves is Later Awarded All Convicts Not in Use at State
 Farm for $1 Day.
Little Rock, Ark.

R. l.. Raleigh, to whom contract was awarded to use all the available convicts at $1.40 per day, has is sued statement claiming that his contract was violated by the State. and in compliance with his request the same was cancelled.
 In his communication to the board MT. Raleigh said:
 "My contract with the state of Arkansas has been violated and it for tie state and myself, and, as it looks like the state intends to vio- late it further at the end of the pres ent month, I am unwilling to make contract for the men, not knowing whether or not 1 will get them. l me that you arrange at once to To- cate the men elsewhere"
 MT. Raleighs claim that his con tract was violated by the state was based on the refusal of the board to provide waterboys at his camp, and on the fact that forty of the convicts in his employ were taken from him and placed at work on the state capitol.
 There was spirited discussion when the question was considered by the board. Governor Donaghey insisted on the convicts being kept on the state farm, while Commission CT Tucker, Secretary of State Lud- wig, and Attorney General Norwood argued that the cost of maintenance would have to be met betweenn now and the time to raise andother crop, and it was decided to award the contract to MT. Reeves.
