CARNEGIE REFUSES DUKEDOM
American and Every Citizen of the United States Is a King.

Washington, May 14.-What An drew Carnegie regards as one of the best jokes he has heard is taken by a woman as cold earnest, and she is en- deavoring to use it to show tho iron master is not an American.
 The writer charges that Carnegie interests himself in the peace move ment at the behest of England, and that King Edward VII. offered to make the Scot a duke if he could bring about the annexation of Amer ica to, England.
 When asked about it, Carnegie said: "Yes, was offered dukedom by the late King Edward if I would bring about the annexation of the United States, but I replied that I was an American citizen and every citizen in the United States was a king"

 A number of the ten appli- cants for the privilege of fur. nishing the Government with a site for that new $70,0OO building in Rogers, were little surpris- ed last week at being called on for abstracts and tax receipts. The Government wants a chance to compare the assessed valua- tion of the property with the amount asked, and also to see at what price the property has been valued in past deals. Uncle Sam has been in the game a long time and is a foxy old buyer.-Rogers Democrat.
 Commissioner R. G. Dye, of Little Rock, whose duty it is to collect the Arkansas State auto. mobile licenses under the new law, says that the law is to be strictly enforced, and that before long some of the delinquents will find their cars seized and offered for sale. He estimates that there are about 1000 automobiles in the State, and they are coming in at tue rate of about twenty a day but the number upon which licenses has been paid is far below that Delinquents are sub ject to arrest by sheriff, consta ble, policeman or city marshal.
 The State Board of Education will meet in Little Rock, May p, for the purpose of distribut. ing the $50 900 State aid to High schools. Final reports from all schools expecting to participate in the distribution, showing that they have complied with the re- quirements of the law, must be filed prior to that date with the Board. Failure to do this will make it impossible for the Board to make final payment of the State aid. Several schools last year lost this money through the neglect of the teachers and school officers to make these re. ports, as required by the law.
