A DANGEROUS BLAZE
Extinguished After a Hard
Fight.

A defective flue was the cause of a
fire at 2:30 a. m. at a double house,
4O5-4O7 North Thirteenth street, oc-
cupied by William Stickleman and
Michael Regan. The damage amount
ed to about 1925.
The fire started in the flue in the
Stickleman kitchen, and the blazes
spread from the kitchen to the north
side of the double house. 1t destroyed
a summer kitchen in the rear, which
was but one story in height. When
the firemen of companies Nos. l, 2,
and arrived the blaze was leaping to
the second story of the building and
Chief Miller believed the house would
be totally destroyed. However, after
an hours quick work the fire was I'm.
der control.
The fire was first discovered by
Stickleman who awakened members OF
his family and those on the north side
of the house. The alarm of fire was
sent in from Box No 60, at Thirteenth
and North E street.

MUST HAVE LICENSE
Grocers Cannot Sell Milk
Otherwise.

The ordinance passed a few years
ago by the city council, making it COM
pulsory for grocers who sell milk to
secure a city license, will be rigidly
enforced hereafter, according to
Charles Flock. city dairy inspector. In
spector Flock stated this morning that
every grocer who has not already Sc
cured a license to sell milk will be
forced to do so. The license fee is 81
per year. Flock says that it was not
with the idea of collecting a revenue.
but of keeping record of persons who
sell milk. that the clause was incorpor.
ated in the ordinance.
The inspector says that some gro
GERS kick" on paying the license fee
because they say other grocers sell
without a license.
Flock states that if the milk is not
up to the standard the party who sold
it is responsible. In this case, he says,
grocers might be responsible and he
would have no record of those who sell
milk If they had NO license.

tum, demanding the expulsion of w.
Morgan Shuster, the American treas

today a detachment patrols the steets

of the Russian troops caused some
comment.
Mr.. Shuster was warned not to ex-
pose himself, for fear that his pres
ence might lead to an outbreak.
A new crisis has been reached with
the resignation of the cabinet. This
action was caused by criticism direct
ed at it for it's first decision to depose
Mr.. Shuster from his official position.
A new cabinet, and one favorable to
the retention of the American, in spite
of the hostilities of Russia, will be
formed at once.

he was occupied cleaning the house
and packing the household goods
which included many rare and costly
pieces of furniture. Mr.. Gains cloth
ing and other effects, it is said, were
found where he had last placed them
and the floors and furniture were Gov
cred with thick coating of dust.
Mrs. Cain for years had been plac
ing enamel on her face. 1t was de-
cided by her friends to have this
enamel removed before she was taken
to the hospital, so a woman was called
in and for several days was engaged

CATHOLICS OPPOSE
 NEW DEPOT PLAN

On the ground that the noise incl dent to switching will interfere with the school work, the congregation of St. Joseph's Catholic church will probably enter a strong protest against the removal of the freight depot and yards to the Saunders prop erty, across the tracks to the west of their church property, as is pro vided in the plans recently agreed up- on by the railroad company and the citizens of this place.
 Father Peter Zell, the pastor of the church, W. J. Drummer and Caspar Dunn yesterday had conference at Little Rock with Capt. W. w. Martin, who has taken the lead in the sue cessful negotiations with the railroad company to secure the removal of the old station and switches from the square and the construction of a new passenger depot. They stated they were very anxious to secure the inn provements as planned, but desire to have the freight yards located farther south than the present plans show, on account of the proximity to their school. The representatives of the church said they desired to do noth- ing that would interfere with the long needed railroad improvements, but believed the interests of their church and school demanded action on their part.
 Capt. Martin made the suggestion, which was agreed to, that meeting of the Board of Trade with the church committee be held in this city Satur- day at 7:30 p. m., at which time the matter could be thoroughly discussed. So far as can be learned there is no objection on the part of the citizens to the change proposed by the Catho- lie congregation, except of the proba- bihty of it causing a further delay and possibly an indefinite postpone ment of the new improvements prom ised by the railroad company.

NORMAL SCHOOL
 SUMMER TERM!
TOBE REPEATED THIS YEAR
SESSION WILL BEGIN JUNE 1. AND CONTINUE FOR SIX
 WEEKS.

The success of the first summer ses- sion of the State Normal School, held last year, at which 120 student teach CTS were enrolled, has caused the au- thorities of the institution to arrange a similar six weeks course for the summer of 1911. President J. J. Doyne is now having published fold CT outlining the work of the short term. The session will begin June 12 and the course of study is designed to meet the needs of those unable to take the regular course in the Nor mal, as well as those who desire to do extra work in order to secure degrees from the school earlier than they could otherwise.
 Ut is true," said President Doyne today, in discussing the summer term, that so brief a period will afford but little time for extensive work, but much can be accomplished, intensive in it's character, under competent di- rection, even in so short a time. Ger tainly the faculty will be found ready and willing to render every aid to this end to those who have a mind to work.
 Experience has proved, too," Pres ident Doyne continued, that in many cases not only has the teachers knowledge of the textbook been broadened, his methods of discipline and instruction revised and improved, but his vision as to the result of his work has been enlarged and clarified, his estimate of it's value enhanced and his appreciation of the worth and dignity of his vocation firmly estab- lished by even so limited a period spent in study and association with those who have been accorded recogni- tion as leaders in educational mat ters."
 A feature of the summer term which will be especially emphasized will be model primary school. Un- der the direction of competent critic teacher, the course of study outlined for the first four grades of the pri- mary schools is to be carried on daily for the entire term, 10 pupils, se- lected from local boys and girls, being in attendance for each grade. The recitations will be conducted by the critic teacher by those who have been previously notified that the work of | the day would be under their special direction. The student-teachers are required to take notes on all of con | sequence that occurs during the day and each afternoon all those taking the primary meet to discuss tke work of the day and plan that the next day. This course was pursued with marked success last summer. Instruction will | also be given in the principles of kin dergarten work and attention will be paid to drawing, clay modelling, raffia work, weaving and other kindred sub jects.
 Proportional credits toward a de- gree will be given on all subjects in cluded in the regular long term course of study, and students desiring to spe- ciaize on any given subject will be permitted to pursue the same fol more than one period daily and thus secure additional credits. The eXpens- es for the full term are an incidental fee of $5 and board may be secured at S15 per month.
