Two School Reports Out.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 23.-Grant
and Lawrence counties have not
yet sent n their annual school
report to the State Superintend-
ent, and unless they do without
further delay, the result may be
of considerable moment to the
school interests Of the counties.
Under q ruling Of Attorney Cen
eral Moose, a county which has
failed to submit its report as re-
CURED by law, prior to Sept. /,
will not receive its share Of the
'apportionment for the year,
which is made on that date.
The aprortionment will be
made on Sept. l among the
counties reported, and any coun-
ties reporting after that date
will be forced to wait until the
following year

Death Prayer answered.

Yonkers, N. Y, Aug. p. :
Ruth Hamilton died today in an
swer to her prayers. Brief Pc
riods Of lucidness during the
night were spent by the 17-year
old Boston girl in praying that
she might join her boy lover,
Charles Rich, who shot and kill
ed himself after MORALLY wound
ing her Wednesd y night. They
had BEEN sweethearts a few
months and had agreed to die
together.
ooh, why don't l die; why
didn't he shoot me right? /
wanted to be buried with him y
she moaned continually, not
needing the tears of her mother
and sister at her bedside.
The motive for the death pact
was the girls worry over heart
disease and a recent injury
which Rich sustained, making
both discouraged over the fu-
ture.

Candidates For State Treasurer.

Candidates For State Treasurer.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 23-Gradu-
ally the political lineup for the
ensuing state campaign is as
Stunning shape. The campaign is
not likely to prove as warm as
some that has recently been
held, but there will likely be
some interesting contests.
r. G. Mcdaniel, of Clarke coun-
tv. who has been in the State
Treasury for several years, was
for for a time in the Secretary
of States Office, and has also
represented his county IN the
legislature, is an avowed can
didate for State Treasurer to
succeed Hon. J. w. : Crockett,
who will not be a candidate Tor
reelection. Ernest Upton, also
a deputy in the office, and son
of the late State Treasurer H. G..
Upton, will not be candidate
for the office, although his
name has been frequently men
toned recently in connection
with it.
For several years it has been
the good fortune of those who
have aspired to the office OF state
treasurer to be elected without
opposition. Whether Mr.. NC
Daniel will fare so well naHlaslns
to be seen. The fact that the
Treasurer is required to make q
bond of 100000 has probably
deferred many from attempting
to win the office.

A kNockER ANSWERED

The Mining Investor of Nov. oath,
the writer is, apparently, boosting
the low-graGe radium carrying carno-
tite ores of the Paradox valley. In
that article the writer says that "out-
side of Austria, tie only pitchblende
deposits of any size are these found
in Gilpin county, Colorado, from
which some thirty tons, more or less,
has been procured. since the min
leading and is intended to lead the
reader to believe that the mines are
of no account as radium producers,
when the exact opposite is the case.
In the first place, our pitchblende
ores do not occur in deposits, but
are found in our true fissures, and
alongside of the gold and silver val.
ues, that are being mined at the
same time. The writer says ''thirty
tons, more or less" This might be
from one TO a million and still be
within the bounds of his assertion,
and was undoubtedly so written for
misleading purposes Gilpin county
pitchbende varies from two to sixty
five per cent, while carnotite aver
ages around per cent. There is
not much Gilpin pitchblende being
exported at the present time, for the
simple reason that all the mines are
now storing tie mineral to await the
mill and extraction plant that Mr.. du- |
Pont intends to build in tie near fu- i
ture, the German and BelcLer mines

THE kNOckER

After God had finished the rattle
snake, the toad and the vampire, He
which He made knocker. A knocker
is two-legged animal with a cork
screw soul, a water-sogged brain and
a combination backbone made of jelly
and glue. Where other people have
their hearts he carries a tumor of
rotten principles. When the knocker
comes down the street honest men
turn their backs,the angels in heaven
take precipitate refuge behind their
harps and the devil bar-locks the
gates of hell.-Missouri Brunswicker.
