the city. 1t is one Of the Oldest in its
buildings, and, In some features, the
worst street in the city. In other
matters it Is one of the best. It's trees
are the largest and with care could be
made the most handsome. Its flowers
arrive ut perfection earlier In the
season than on the other streets, but
they are not given such careful tillage.
Its fruit trees, where taken care Of

Eighth Avenue, bordered on the
north by the famous canal, strikes us
q Offering exceptional opportunities
for beautiful devel, pment. Between
the residences Of Mr.. Macarthur and
Mrs. Walters the trees are 50 large and
exuberant In their foliage, that they
completely over arch the street. At
present, the street Is too high In the
center or too narrow. II the lot own
ers would avail themselves OF the.priv-
ilege to widen the street four feet on
each side and border 1t with high
terrace, we'll clothed with grass on the
slope, this could be readily made the
most attractive bit of avenue in the
city. In fact, 1t seemed To us that the
city would do well to condemn tie
block south of McArthur's for park
purposes. While il is not SO central
rs might be desired, the trees are al.
ready there, and, with the stream at
the rear and the ease with which grass
and flowers can be grown in that local
ity, u beautiful park could be obtained
in u very little while at less labor and
cost than anywhere else in the city.

DEAR SIR
A few words wish to saw
regarding the Red Cloud Concert Band.
! have been In the music business for
fifteen years and during that time |
have beard most all the bands in this
state aud others, of which l was EN-.
ployed in the same line, and with all
due credit and respect to other organ.
izAtions, such as am speaking | wish
TO say to the best Of my belief that
Red Cloud has the best band in the
state of Nebraska.
l am not altogether basing my opin,
ion on what few concerts | have heard
them give. but when such musicians
as belongs to the Apollo Quartet pass
their opinion by saying that it is the
band they have been affiliated with Oh
tue Chautauqua course makes me be-.
'lieys more strongly that my statement t
is true.
Prof. Betz is to be congratulated on
his splendid efforts in securing such
excellent talent as now compose his
band. ,R
The business men must have credit
for seeing this proposition to advertise
their town properly.
And In my travels over the state |
hear Red Cloud spoken of, as having a
crack band.
What speaks better for u town than

RESULTS ARE REVIEWED
State Department of Education Gives
 Figures Showing Benefits.

Little Rock.-The department of education has issued a review of the work accomplished under the state aid to high schools plan. The review follows:
 q. It has made high school in struction free to all qualified pupils in the state, except in the counties of Madison, Desha and Drew.
 "2. It has given free tuition to l. 312 from outside districts.
 "3. It has given free tuition to 94S rural teachers and special train, ing to 327 normal students who are preparing to teach in rural schools.
 A Counting communities of fewer than 1000 population as essentially ru- ral, it has given high school privileges to 2,567 children at a cost of less than $20 per year per pupil to the state, most of whom could not have otherwise had these advantages at all.
 "5. It has given instruction in agri- culture to 1882 pupils in high school classes.
 "6. It has increased the high school enrolment III one year fo per CeHl. In the year ending July 1, 1911, the enrolment in all high schools was G. 482, while in the year ending July 1, 1912, the 93 state high schools alone enrolled 6,63S and 60 unaided high schools enrolled 2,9S4, making total for the year of 9,622, an increase of 3,140.
 "7. It has brought nearly all of the high schools of the state to accepted standards in course of study, length of recitation period. laboratory for the teaching of natural sciences, number of daily classes, per teacher and pupil, and the length of the school term.
 "8. While the money given to high schools as aid is taken from the com mon school fund, it has not affected the length of term of the common school or the salary of the teacher at all. The cost to district with 50 enumerated pupils is about $4-a sum to small to effect either. Besides it comes out of the unused balance of $1,400,000 constantly carried by the common and special districts of the state to their credit"

 Morrilton.-With more than 300 peo- pie in attendance the first agricultural extension school ever held in Arkan- sas opened here Monday.
 The citizens of Morrilton had pre- pared everything possible for the com fort of those attending the course. Free camp grounds, free tents, free beds and even free wood were at the disposal of those attending, so that it did not cost a farmer a cent more to attend the school than it did to stay at home.
 The farmers attending expressed themselves enthusiastically over the reception given them and the benefit they were receiving from the course.
 The course consisted of lectures on cotton, soils and fertilizers, corn, grains and general forage crops, fruit growing, vegetable growing, hog chol- era, Texas fever, hog, poultry and dairying.
 Certain hours each day were devot- ed to each subject and intense in terest was displayed by those in at tendance
 The extension school is under the supervision of tke agricultural depart ment of the University of Arkansas with Prof. Wilson in charge. It is the intention of the agricultural de- partment to hold these schools throughout the state. The school at Morrilton was in the nature of an eX- pertinent and it being so successful assures that the schools will be held in other communities of the state. While this work is ned in Arkansas, it is not an untried experiment, as other states have been holding them right along and finding them of un- told value to the farmers who can ret attend the short courses of agri- culture at the universities.
 In the school at Morrilton all the courses were selected to suit the con- ditions and crops of the surrounding country.
 The visitors and farmers were wei comed to Morrilton by Mayor J. A.. Frisby in behalf of the citizens. He spoke of the purpose of the school and

Stowers was arrested charged with being one of the leaders of the mob. Williams was arrested, it being alleged that he had struck the negro over the head with his revolver, which had caused the weapon to explode, the bullet striking and mortally wounding Deputy Constable Carr.
