CITY BALL Team
MAY BE ORGANIZED

Since the collegiate and high school
baseball games are practically over
for the season, there is much talk
among local fans about the organiza-
tion of city team of strictly anna
teurs to play occasional games before
the close of the schools and during
the summer months. On each of the
teams of Hendrix College and the
State Normal there are several Con-
way boys, the fast Conway high school
team is of course composed exclusive
ly of home boys, and there is at least
a half-dozen good players among the
boys of the town who are not attend
ing any school, so that in the organic
alton of a city team there would be
an abundance of material to SELECT
from. In fact, as one fan stated to-
day, there are enough local players
who could qualify for first team in a
college or high school to form two
strong mines. Prof. M. J. Russell,
manager of the Hendrix team, states
that local team would be welcome to
the free use of the Hendrix park and
with no expense for players, there is
no reason for any deficit being incur
red, and it is probable that neat lit
tie fund could be cleared during the
season for some public or charitable
purpose. A meeting of some of the
local business men interested in base
ball will probably be held within the
next few days, and it is thought prob
able that an organization will be eff
footed

vide for a state board of education
and for the consolidation of adjacent
districts. The state aid bill provides
high school education for rural
schools, giving for this purpose from
the general school fund $400 to 1000
to each school. or the total amount,
$40 900 is for an extension of normal
training. A state board is created
consisting of the state superintendent,
the president of the university and .
city superintendent or high school
principal. The duties of this board

The senate passed the militia bill

Senator Watson has been promoted to
the rank of colonel on Gen. Surridge's S

nlng to have summer school. This
can easily be done and will be greatly
to the advantage of the pupils in the
above mentioned grades. Such a
school will tide the advanced seventh
grade to the eighth and those of the
eighth who We're promoted in the midi
die of the year to the ninth at the
beginning of the regular term next
year. Also it will give to those whd
have for any reason failed to make
their grade a chance to catch up with
their classes.
or course, such school is necessar1
lily private school and ought not I'd
be supported from the public fundsl
The number of pupils admitted to II
will be limited to such as are named
above. SO it will be run on the subj
scirption plan: $500 per month will
be charged for each pupil. But no pu1
pill will be permitted to enroll for ond
month only, but for the entire term
making the total cost for the term fol|
each pupil 5000.
If there are enough pupils to emI
ploy two teachers, and / think thert|
will be, the school will be conducted
by Miss Maggie Dennison and MrsI
Ida Burns.
| think the ideal way to conduct ths|
term is to commence work at 8 o'cloclI
and close at II each day. This give
the freshest part of the day to tn
work
There is sufficient time from tn |
close of our regular school to tn |
opening of the following term to hav
this special session and at the sam
time give the pupils all the vacation
they need-one month before the sum
mer school and one month after.

NEW HEATER INSTALLED.

Superintendent E. Y. Leverett is in
stalling a new water heater at the
light plant, which was purchased with
a portion ofthe funds recently appro-
priated by the council for the i'm
provement of the plant. The heater
will utilize the exhaust steam from
the engines to raise the temperature
of the water entering the boilers to
the boiling point. 1t is expected to
effect saving of at least Is per cent
in fuel consumed and 40 per cent in
the amount of water to be pumped for
the boilers

Two Famous Poems

From the Washington Post. One of the most famous of the rhymes of Ironquill Eugene F. Ware), who died recently, was that which appeared in the Topeka Daily Capital on the morning of May 8, 1898, following the receipt of the news of the great victory In Manila Bay It was under the heading Dewey
 O Dewey was the morning
 Upon the first of May,
 And Dewey was the Admiral
 Down in Manila Bay;
 And Dewey were the Regents eyes
 Then" orbs of blue.
 And Dewey feel discouraged?
 I Dew not believe we Dew. Another of Ironquill's Gilbertian eff forts; which was quoted all over the during the Russo-Turkish trou- bles, with it's jaw-breaking names in the news dispatches, was "The Siege of DjSl- xprwbz"
 Before a Turish town
 The Russians came,
 And with huge cannon
 Did Lombard the same.
 They got up close
 And rained fat bombshells down, And blew out every
 Vowel in the town,
 And then the Turks
 Becoming somewhat sad,
 Surrendered every Consonant they had.
