SUMMER NORMALS
 AT THE UNIVERSITY.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. S.-Cor- respondence is going back and forth between President a. N. Tillman of the University of Arkansas and Geo. B. Cook, Superintendent of the Pub lie Instruction, which it is believed will soon result in the combination of the summer nOrmals which have heretofore been conducted at the University of Arkansas at Fayette- vile, and the Arkansas State Nor mal at Conway.
 This summer there were 21o at tending the summer school for teach CTS at Fayetteville, and 150 at the Normal" states Prof Cook, "and the Board is now considering the advis ability of combining the two and per hitting the faculty of the Normal to join with the faculty of the Univer sity, in one big Normal at Fayette- vile There is no town in the state so suited for this work as Fayette ] vile. The town is summer resort ] and it is cool all during the summer There are large dormitories for men and women. There are plenty of boarding houses on the outside. Fay
 etteville can be easily reached hy fast trains from all Arkansas, Louis jana. Texas, Oklahoma. Missouri and Kansas If We decide to combine the summer schools. it should draw all
 the teachers from these states, and
 instead of an enrolment of 363. 1t should the first year have 1000 teach CTS in attendance. We coald have faculty there second to none, and keep in Arkansas the 75 or more teachers which each year go to Knoxville to attend the Summer School of the Soath. I believe the combination will soon be arranged.

NIXON CLEANS UP.

All good citizens will commend for the good work accomplished on last Saturday night, when the treas ury of Lincoln county was enriched to the amount of about $1,500.0O the same having been contributed by the boys who were enjoying a game of "Seven or Eleven at Gould. From the best information Jobtainable It seems that conditions there had be- come such that some of the best clu- zens had made complaints to the of ficers who in turn had notified those in charge that such fragrant violations of the law must cease. Heeding not the warning of those i'll authority the dives were running wide open as us nal on Saturday night when Nixon and a party from Star City appeared upon the scene and proceeded 10 "c,ean up."

It then becomes the duty of every law abiding citizen to lena assistance to the officers who under takes to institute "clean up proceed ings." From reports it is evident eaa' good job was made of the work' and we predict that the effect upon other communities in this oaaleia' district will be wholesome, and result in the bettering of moral conditions generally.-Desha County pehioe'a',

[. t. ". PERKINS
 MAY BE JAILED NEW YORK FINANCIER REFUSES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AT
 STEEL TRUST INQUIRY. GIVEN JUST ON NIGHT To Think it Over-Witness Acting Un. der Advice of Counsel
 Creates Sensation.

Washington, Aug. S.-Sundown to- morrow may find George w. Perkins, distinguished New York financier and former partner of J. Pierpont Morgan, a prisoner in the District of Colum- bia jail in contempt of the House of Representatives
 This fate faced MT. Perkins when the Stanley steel investigation ad- iourned shortly before o'clock to- night.
 Acting on advice of counsel, MT. Perkins had consistently refused to answer questions regarding the poll- tical contribution of the Steel Trust He was given the night in which to think it over. Tomorrow morning the questions will again be put to him. II he still declines to answer he Will thereupon be carried to the bar of the FIonse, where the contumatlohs re- fusal of the financier will be reported which a majority recommendation that he be committed for contempt until he decides to answer.
 it is the general belief in Washing ton tonight that the House will up- hold the dignity of the selected com mijtee and that MT. Perkins must either come down off his high horse or go to jail.
 This sensational development dwarfed everything else at today $ hearing, which marked the first ap- pearance of Mir. Perkins as witness before the committee.
 One of the objects aimed at is to show the connection between the New York Life Insurance Company and the Steel Trust and by inference the interloeking of all these big financial concerns.
 It is believed that Chairman Stan- ley is now on the track of some of the big sensations that Charles E. Hughes carefully avoided in the famous New York insurance investigation. So im- portant does Chairman Stanley re- gard it that he was inclined to favor immediate contempt proceedings against the witness.

Was Shilling Week
 There was time when q wcrkmar n England received 8 cents q tlay as an ordinary wage. when skilled ar ttsans commanded 12 cents day and when women worked in the field al such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing slanting beans and washing sheep for 2 cents day, and wise student f tie subject has expressed the opin- on that the British workman of that lay was better off than he has evcr f.een since then
 That sounds paradoxical. But the explanation is this: The workman who sold his services for 8 cents a lay could buy good beef or mutton feg H. cents a pound. Wheat cost him on the average only IS cents q buShn! 1e could get board for 12 to l6 cents week The pay he would receive for hfteen weeks services would suffice 70 purchase a supply of suitable foed stuffs. according to the standard of his time Consisting of wheat. malt and oatmeaD. to maintain his family fo, Gn entire year.

Chicago, Nov. persistent reports
which agents here of the department
of Justice refused either to affirm or
deny, that the government was con-
templating a suit against the Armour
Grain company for alleged corner
ing" Of the wheat market. were cir
culated here today. The tip flew ov-
er the grain pit that the government
expected today to seize w1rhouse re-

the ownership of the Armour COM
pany i'm the greater part of the visible
wheat supply.
Nearly 100000 bush Of the G2,0OO,-
900 of the visible supply is said to be
stored IN Chicago and the report was
that the operators of the corner were
making frantic eforts TO market their
holdings to avoid a federal probe.
On the board of trade it was dem
led that any corner in wheat had been
operated but operators admitted that
during the past few Gays there has
been an enormous quantity Of wheat
unloaded on the market.
