OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL

Editor Journal.-If you will al- '2w me space, as a patron, l have
 few suggestions to make to the
 irons of Newark school, along -e lines of the upbuilding of our
 hool.
 In the first place, our school will
 zen in the near future, for a term 5i seven months continual school,
 nd as this is a proposition in which efery child between the age of six and twenty one years has an equal show, and in which every patron should be and are personally inter ested.
 Now parents, are you interested in your childrenswelfare? If soyou are undoubtedly interested in the upbuilding Of your school. When the school begins are you going to get in line for q better school and see thatyour childattends regular Iy? Are you going to let the child have its own way and attend if t wants to? Will you see to ii that your children get all they are en- titled to, along the lines of an edu- cation in your sehooR Or will you join the don't care crowd and let the child loiter and play hockey and grow up in ignorance? 1 can hardly believe that you are going to close your eyes to your children welfare Since it is your solemn anG parental duty l believe you will shoulder your part of the respon- sibility, and get behind the teach ing force and help them better the school for the especial benefit of your child, PATRON.

LAW REQUIRES GAUGES AT
 ALL F0RDS
To Arkansas Road 0verseers

To Arkansas Road 0verseers
 1 want to inform you that d bill was passed in the last legislature making it your duty to place and maintain water gauges at the crossings of all streams which be- come so swollen as to endanger life. That law has been in force for several months. It is a state wide law and l hope to see the oy- erseers of the state get busy and gauge the streams before the rainy season.
 A few weeks ago l noticed an account where three gentlemen and a young lady attempted to ford a swollen stream near Green wood in this state. The young lady was drowned, their team was drowned and the three men bare ly escaped.
 It was to prevent just such ac- cidentS as this that caused me to have this bill passed. lam sure the overseer at that place had failed to do his duty, am sure the stream was not gauged. Would you feel any remorse of conscience and would you not be indirectly fe- sponsible for loss of life should anyone lose their life by drowning where streams are not gauged in your road district, and might you not be responsible for any proper ty loss where the stream is not gauged.
 There Is a penalty for failing to put up the gauges and don't you think 1t best to put them up at once? It's a good thing and you will not be held responsible for accidents if they are up in shape.

BOUND FOR ARKANSAS

Some time recently a gentleman was travelling out in the West, on business, and in his travels, met with an emigrant and his family who were headed this way and the family seemed to be slowed away in the usual style of covered Wag. on.
 While in conversation with the head of the family the gentleman referred to, looking on the side oi the wagon cover read as follows: New Mexico for immigration,
 Texas for starvation,
 To h- and damation,
 With Tafts administration, I'm bound for Arkansas.

CORONER'S JURY
ACCUSED HER OF
KILLING SCHENK
HIS WIDOW Is HELD FOR THE
DEATH OF HER HUSBAND IN
CHICAGO.
AFTER A NIGHT OF REVtLRY
She Declares Shots Were Fired at
Him Mistaken for Burglar; Stories
Conflict and Case Goes to Grand
Jury for Investigation.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Mrs. Charle
Schenk, who confessed she shot he
husband Saturday morning after {
night of revelry, today was held tt
the grand jury on charge of murder
by the coroner's jury. She will re
main under the surveillance of the pc
lice until after the funeral of Schenl
tomorrow, after which she will be
committed to the county Jail.
In giving her testimony Mrs. Schenl
related the incidents Of the party
which she said had been in celebra
ton of the fourteenth wedding ami
yersary Of Chick Frazer. . former
National League ball player.
She said abe had been put to bed
by other women of the party. but was
awakened coon after by Schenk call
ing her from downstairs. She got a
revolver, fearing burglars and hurried
to the top of the stairs. Then she
said she could see her husband stoop-
ing on the stairs. She admitted the
revolver was discharged but said she
did not know of firing the shot and
had no knowledge of the events i'm
mediately afterwards.
Under cross-examination Mrs.
Schenk said she did not know how
many shots had been fired, and that
she may have pulled the trigger more
than once before dropping the weap-
on.
The uncertainty of her stony to-
gether with the testimony of Paul
Cebek, Schenk's hostler, who declared
be heard two shots fred about min
ute apart, shortly after six O'Clock in
the morning, is said to be the cause
Of the jury holding Mrs. Schenk to
the grand jury.
Frazer said that with his wife, he
formed one of the six couples of a
gay euchre party.
After the Church party" he said,
1t which we had lunch, but no drinks,
We went to Park Ridge to a hotel.
Some members Of the party and my
'elf have been living there. 1t was
ny wedding anniversary, SO I got
quart of whisky to celebrate. Then
We got quart Of champagne end a
luart of sour wine for the ladies.
Drinks were served but did not see
Mrs. Schenk drink anything.
1--WE went to music hall in Park
aidge and at about $3.50 went over to
'chenk's home. There we had more
'eer, whisky and wine and finally
moved the furniture out of the dining |
DOM and danced. During the dance
drs. Schenk got dizzy and later |
earned she had been put to bed. Ev- !
ry one was happy"

dunn size hats. Hats for all, matters
not what the style was that was de-
sired, the hat was there for purposes.
The most popular colors were
burnt, kings blue, coral, green, and
the ever staple black and white.
black and white seems to have the
call over everything else.
One hat that caused much admira-
ton was a helmet shape, banked with
pink roses and the front trimmed In
an imported band of white and coral
beads and back trimmed In standing
bows of black and white striped rib
bon.
Another nobby hat was black al
pine shape, edged with black and
white roll braid, and an elegant black
and white willow plume at the back.
An immense shepherdess shape,
trimmed with a lace butterfly, was
the center of admiration throughout
the entire day. Hundreds of ladies
viewed this hat and expressed them
selves highly pleased with it. \
A hood shaped hat made Of Renais-
canoe lace in cream and band of
studded coral beads with an imported
wing at one side came in for its share
Of the admiration.
A quaint hat that was really beauti-
full and attractive, was polk bonnet
effect of shaded straw trimmed in
red peoples and red velvet ribbon.

Mrs. N. 3. Peiton.

/ There was good crowd attending
the millinery opening Of Mrs. N. B.
Peltun and judging from the exclama-
/, tions of the ladies when they viewed
the lovely creations which her arts
tic judgment and taste had evolved,
they were more than delighted with
what they saw. Mrs. Pelton has a
great variety of the seasons most
stylish and what will doubtless prove
to be most popular offerings. She has
used rare discriminating taste and
has shown high appreciation OF the
demands of the trade in the gathering
together of her choice stock. She has
hats that will appeal to all sorts OF
taste and all conditions Of fortune,
from the most elaborate creation OF
the picture style to the simpler
modes. Her stock certainly deserves
the appreciation of the public.

"THE BLUE BIRD"
An Exquisite Fantasy at BelascO Thea
tire, Washington, Next Week.

Maeterlinck's exquisite fantasy
THE Blue Bird" will be the open
ing attraction for one week at the
Belasco Theatre in Washington, be-
ginning Monday. 1t is without doubt
one of the most notable productions
that has been presented there in sew
eral seasons.
1t comes direct from New York, from
the Century Theatre formerly the
New Theatre), with the entire New
Theatre production, which ran over a
season in New York and is probably
the most widely discussed play of
the decade. In England, France,
Germany, Russia, it has duplicated
the phenomenal success that it has
attained in this country.
In quaint humor, poetry, delightful
spectacles and beautiful scenes, this
fairy tale for grown-ups probably
surpasses any play written in recent
years. Into the dramatic structure of
the piece are woven innumerable
dances with incidental music from
Debussy, through which the symbol
ism of the piece is made all the more
fascinating. In the cast are seventy
five people, two-thirds of them chill
dren, and ten different scenes will be
presented. This is the only appear
ance outside of Boston and Philadelphia
this season.

A Trail of Twisted Trees.

All manner Of devices have been en-
ployed to mark line of march, but it
is thought that the most curious
method of blazing the traiP' Is that
still to be seen in Africa. In the
year 1889, after a fierce battle with
the Abyssinians, the dervishes pur
sued their foes as far as the lake dis
trict. The mahdi's men had small
knowledge of geography and little to-
biographical intelligence. So the ad-
vance party, in order to mark the
route for those who came after and
also to guide the force on their return
journey, twisted the saplings along the
way into living knots. The war end
ed, but the tied up trees grew and
flourished, although uncouthly twisted
and distorted, and are now the only
reminders of that uprising of the der
wishes.

Matter and Force,

There Is no such thing as q loss OF
matter or force. The so called con
servation" of matter and its forces
was demonstrated years ago by Joule
and other scientists. When, for in
stance, thing burns up" as we say,
the substances that give out the light
and heat are changed, not destroyed.
The wood or whatever the substance
happens to he becomes ashes and gas,
and if we could gather up all the prod
ucts of the burning we should find
that they had not lost particle Of
their weight and that the form Of them
only was changed. The eternity of
matter was a teaching of the old Greek
philosophers, or Of some of them at
least, and the modern teaching Of the
conservation or indestructibility Of the
stuff of the universe would seem to
corroborate the ancient idea.-New
