The hundreds of friends who at.
tended the funeral of John F. Ruth
erford in this city. yesterday paid
their last sad tribute to a most USE
full man. John F. Rutherford, was
comparatively young man. He was
entitled to live twenty-five years long
err, but an All Wise Father decreed
it otherwise. What power John F.
Rutherford would have been in this
world of finance had he been spared
and given further opportunity to
show his ability and worth? No man
has accomplished greater results in
so short a time in the legitimate
business field. His career was most
remarkable. Pine Bluff will miss him
and his influence more every day.

Upon the occasion of the visit of
President B. F. Bush and other Off
Gals of the Iron Mountain to this city
yesterday, the members sof the Pine
Bluff Board of Trade showed their
good feeling and hospitable spirit by
taking the tired officials for brief
auto ride over the city. 1t demon
strated that Pine Bluff generally
wanted President Bush and all the
other officials of the great system to
know that our people, especially the
business interests, felt kindly toward
the Iron Mountain system and its O.
ficials. Pine Bluff is always ready to
aid them and they were invited to
spend longer visit here in, the neal
future.

"BURNING THE HAMMER"

Christian Science Monitor:
Seattle the other night inaugural
ed a custom that many other COM
munities in all parts of the country
may sooner or later be induced to
follow after another fashion. With
out going into the local conditions
that led up to it, or taking sides 'c
the controversy resulting from it, it
would seem perfectly proper to pre-
sent the matter in an educational
light. All cities suffer more or less
from thoughtfulness or malicious
home criticism. AT times this crIti-
els becomes something more than
aaNey:ng. 1t affects not only the
reputation. but the business of the
eoua 10y. seattle claims to have
sur severely from it in the last
two or tlgle years. 1t is called, in
the vernacular of the times, knock
ing Those who follow the practice
OF knocking are called knockers,
Under the liberal latitude given the
yernacular by popular consent, the
tool used by the knoeker' is figulra-
lively speaking a hammer
1.-THE Post-Intelligencer, of Seattle,
tells us that 10000 joy-mad citizens,
men and women. sang, danced and
cheered on the night referred to
around a fire in which was placed a
hammer weighing 600 pounds. The
ceremony of burning the hammer
began with procession headed by a
band of music. Fully 100000 people
we are told, Witnessed the; parade
which passed slowly. and, to- solemn
strains from the band. through the
principal business streets. LIN the

CASE OF PELLAGRA
IN PINE BLUFF

A we'll developed case of Pellagra
was reported to the City Board of
Health several days ago by DR.. O. G..
Blackwell, of this city. The woman
afflicted with the unusual disease is
sallle Simmons, negress, who lives
at Fourteenth avenue and Dakota
street. DR.. Blackwell says it is one
OF the most perfect cases he has ever
seen, as the patient has every symp-
tom OF Pellagra. She has been i'll
for some time and is pauper. It is
most likely that she will be sent to
the county hospital for treatment.

There was much cheering on the part

nalistic word for it that the demon
stration was one that will discourage
knocking in the future mad result in
great good to the city.
Regardless of Seattle's local con-
troversies and disputes, it must oc-
cur to the thoughtful reader that the
idea of burning the hammer is not a
bad one. There is hardly need of
the ceremonial attending the demon
sfration in Seattle. 1t is not neces-
sary that there shall be even a real
fire or real hammer. All that is ne
cessary is that the public of every
community in which criticism of a
thoughtless, reckless and injurious
character seems to be gaining ground
shall, metaphorically speaking, burn
the hammer ~
I'VE believe nothing worth mention
ing is ever accomplished by chronic
fault-finding. Public officials are too
often at the bottom of the criticism
directed toward those in positions of
prominence and responsibility. The
encouraging, kindly, charitable word
goes much farther than the harsh or
sneering remark in bringing about de-
sirable conditions. Hammer burning
might be practiced, we think, with
great profit in communities far re-
moved from Seattle. 1t would be a
splendid substitute for acrid criti-
cism.'' h

The aggregate of both white and
colored children in Jefferson county
is 20,138. Of these only 14,4O6 have
been enrolled in the public schools of
this county, leaving 5,733 not on the
enrolment. In the private schools of
the county lis children are recorded.
The total number of children in
the county shows an increase OF SIS
over last year but the white children
in the county lack 12O of being as
many as there were a year ago.
The increase Of colored children
in the county is 600 and in the city
$50 1t will be noticed that the most
marked improvement this year is ap-
parent among the blacks.
The city showed a decrease of four
teen white children, showing that the
school going population has fallen
off mostly in the white public schools
OF the county and that the city of
Pine Bluff has practically the same
number of white school children that
it had last year.
The enrolment was larger by 1000
children than last year and the daily
attendance is 900 greater.
