ening of pleasure to the large

Robbed While Asleep.

Little Rock, April 30.-Awak-
ened from a sound sleep at about
2 o'clock Sunday morning by
feeling a touch on his arm, W.
L. Craig, ia East Capitol aV-
enue, got up and turned on the
light just in time to see a man
arm as he quickly passed
through curtained door into
another room, but found the in
truder had left the house by a
side window.
Later when Mr.. Craig made an
investigation he found that his
clothing had been rified of SIS
in money and a watch valued at
about $50. Mr.. Craige says the
burglar was trying to search
beneath his pillow when he
touched him on the arm. Mr..
Craig called the police. Patrol
man John Mcdonald reached the
house in a few minutes and
made thorough search for the
thief, but he had made his es-
cape.

Harrisburg, April 29.-Dr. M.

had charge of the meningitis
situation at Deckerville, came
out Monday on his way home
having stamped out the disease
and left, with no fear Of further
cases. He vaccinated about ooO
people for that dreaded disease
and only one who had been vac
cinated had the disease, and
that person had been vacclnateo
only one time, and the patient IS
getting well. DR.. Alexander hao
six cases of meningitis there,
and lost only one case, a record
that is unprecedented with that
disease.

Bryan Grape-Juice Banquet.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 30.-A Bry-
an grape-juice banquet will be
served for the Arkansas editors
who attend the press meeting in
Memphis, May Is, following the
state meeting in Mariana, and
just prior to their taking a boat
for st. Louis. q
When the Arkansas ~ Wheels
excursionists hit MemphA a year
or so ago, they were bandWeted
and elaborate preparations Were
made for the occasion. FeNS
mented grape juice was por-
ton of the menu, and when the
statewiders in the party heard
of it, their hands went up in holy
horror. The business men of
Memphis made quick turn and
trotted out red lemonade until
all were satisfied as if they had
been to a circus.
Knowing the tendency of Ar
kansas editors toward statewide
prohibition, the business men of
Memphis decided not to tempt
fate twice in the same manner,
so this year took the precaution
to write ahead and find out how
the party would stand on wine
as portion of the feast.
Secretary Earle w. Hodges has
written to those preparing the
big feed, suggesting that grape
juice, which has become ma
tons drink since the Bryan din
ner, was sufficiently strong for
the Arkansans.

Few Negro NOtaries.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 3O.-Ne-
groes in Arkansas who hold COM
missions of notary public are as
scarce as pardons nowadays. In
a few of the larger cities the
county officials will receive and
record commissions issued to
negroes, but in Eastern Arkan-
sas a negro is throwing away
the SIS he must pay to have a
commission issued by the secre-
tary of state, by making applica-
ton for one.
A negro in Crittenden county
sometime ago applied for COM
mission as notary and it was is
sued, but the county-clerk re-
fused to record it, so the COM
mission was returned to the
governor with a request that the
fee be returned. The only way
this can be returned is by leg
islative act, and there is as much
chance for such an act to be pass
ed as there is for the negro to
be elected governor.
Several days ago a negro in
Conway county, where a large
number of white citizens had
petitioned for it, was appointed
a notary, but the clerk refused
to record the commission and
he, too, wanted his money back
but there was nothing doing.

Fumigated POstOMce.
ial to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 3O.-Pat-
rons calling at the Little Rock
postoffice Sunday afternoon
walked into the corridor and
turned around and walked right
out again, and it was a hurried
exit at that. The aforesaid
patron came out coughing and
sneezing, with tears in his eyes,
willing to testify someone had
turned loose a lot of snuff in
the corridors.
It was merely agents of the
government fumigating the pos
tai departments in order that
all disease germs might be ami
hilated. This is the first regu-
lar fumigation of the postoffice
and the officials who came to
show how it is done, will start
other postoffices Of the state in
the same direction.

Endorse superintendent Course
Tuckerman, Ark,

April 25, 1913.
1nasmuch as the Tuckerman
School Board, some time since
passed a resolution prohibiting
match games of base ball on the
school grounds at Tuckerman,
and then thereafter agreed with
the teachers that they might
play match games provided none
but students would be permitted
to take part in such games, the
president of the board informed
the principal he would hold him
personally responsible if others
but students were allowed to
participate in games,
And, whereas the principal,
E. R. Williamson, has been Sc
verely and unjustly criticised for
the stand he took in reference to
the game of ball played on said
ground on 18th inst.
Therefore be it resolved:
That we,. the members of the
Tuckerman School Board fully
indorse and approve the action
of Prof. E. R. Williamson in this
matter.
Unanimously adopted.
