decided by the voters of the village
at an election to be held Saturday.
This election will decide whether or
not the village will noat a bond issue
TO secure funds for the erection OF a
new school building. and providing the
issue fails 10 carry. IL is not known
Iust how the school children will be
accommodated during the year. as the
present building has been condemned
as unsafe and unsanitary.
Providing the bond issue carries.
n II is the general opinion that il
VIII. a new building will be erected at
a cost Of 5000 0 The bonds 10 cover
the cost OF the building will be re-
deemed in equal amounts each wear
Tor 40 years. and the increased taxa
ton that the issue will cause will be
very small indeed. As the Masonic
organization in St. Clairsville holds an
interest in the present school build
ing. and owns the ground on which
The building Is located. IL will he nee
essary FOR the board of education to
secure another site on which TO To-
cate the building. This site. however.

II Is understood that II is planned TO
erect the new building on the Fred
troll property. near the fair grounds.
providing the bond issue carries.

many years. has been condemned as
unsafe and unsanitary. State ~oficials
have prohibited the board OF educa-

Arkansas River. They had been adopted
into the different tribes and finally the
white blood had entirely disappeared.
They had promised the Creeks that
some time more white men speaking
the same language would come and
had adjured the red men to trans
nit a few words Of their language
and their story to these whites. This
tradition and these words had been
handed down from generation to genera

Product, and His Services
Are Most Efficient.

The position of private secretary oi
high officials Of the government IN Wash
ington generally Is considered an en-.
viable one. but there are few people
on the outside who appreciate the enorm:
Gus labor and tremendous responsibilities
connected with such an ONCE. Among
the bright men who bold these honorable
and important posts young Rusl<in Nc.
Ardie. private secretary to Postmaster
General Burieson. Is star of the frs;
magnitude.
McArdie, who was born in the old town
OF Independence, In the Lone Star State
less than thirty years ago. is a first
rate sample of the best products OF
Texas. He came into his present posi-
ton with exceptional qualifications, hsy-
ing occupied the same relations to Mr..
Burleson that he does now for the last
twelve years, the only difference being
that as private secretary TO Cabinet
Officer his work has been increased
enormously.
During the years that he spent on
Capitol Hill this Texas boy got on terms
Of Intimate acquaintance with a large
per cent of Senators and Representatives
in Congress and this friendly feeling Is
still maintained In his new sphere. II
by any chance the pressure OF Work u
SO great that a Congressman Is unable
to see Mr.. Burieson. II is invariably the
case that he goes away satisfied after q
conference with McArdle.
Next to taking an active hand IN help
ing TO direct the energies of the vast de-
partment. McArdle's- chief bent in life Is
along the artistic side. He inherited from
his father, who was q celebrated portrait
painter. love OF the beautiful and aes-
thetic and his splendid taste is seen in
every apartment Of the magnificent suite
of rooms over which the Postmaster
General presides.
Another phase OF his versatility, that
OF speechmaking. was not revealed until
recently. when at the annual convention
of New Jersey postmasters he made a
very bright and clever speech OF intro
duction in behalf OF Hon Daniel c.
Roper, Mr.. Burleson's first assistant.

San Francisco, Oct. 16-FamIshed coy

the night, seeking to steal the trifie of

THE "AD" CLUBS TRUTH CODE.
Far-Reaehing Results of the Balfi-
more Convention.


From the Christian sciencs Monitor. Boston
Begun at Boston, shaped at Dallas and
rounded out at Baltimore, an ethical
code has emerged for the advertising
fraternity of the country which comes
nearer meeting the demands of the hour
than anything that any other group OF
American business men can show a. the
result OF similar square facing OF busi-
ness facts and social ideals
The various kinds Of publicity men who
| consort with each other in associated
advertising clubs seem to have decidsd
against a business life on the compart-
ment plan. They have no use for the
double standard. The producers and the.
advertisers yea" must be yea" and his
nay" must be may" For have they
not, as makers of outdoor signs. as re-
zines religious weeklies. daily newspap-.
ers, technical publications. and the trade
press all formally agreed that they be.
lieve in Truth. the cornerstone OF ali
honorable and successful business
Truth not only in the printed word, but
in every phase of business connectedi
with the creation. publication and dis
semination of advertising? Have not the
constituent elements Of this powerful
federation of makers of publicity about
business just decided to create a com
mission or investigating body which.
when duly constituted, shall begin To
devise ways by which the higher ideal
can be given concrete form?
There are chaotic conditions to be clar3-
fed and standardized in connection with
statements of publications as 10 their
own values as circulating mediums. yigi-
lance methods already operative against
makers of fraudulent goods. need per-
fecting and employment over a larger
area OF the business field. Responsible
leaders in the uplift movement within
and without the advertising brotherhood
need loyal support, and to some properly
constituted body must be intrusted au-
thority to enforce the newly proclaimed
code, without which enforcement Il VIII
be but another case Of fine resolutions.
That such body Of men as recently
tssembled at Baltimore should practical
ly do no other thing during long con-
vention session than plan to define 4
calling code" do il. and then begin
to organize for enforcement OF the sama
on a sale and with q thoroughness
worthy OF the cause, is a very Significant
fact veracity and sincerity are virtues
of the highest order Increased to any
considerable degree. they would be well
coined by all persons But exalted to
high place by men of the calling that,
on its economic side. is 50 near to jour
nalism, the action taken must have far
reaching effects. Standardizing sources
of income for journals cannot but. IN
many cases at least. also elevate their
ideals as organs of opinion and reporters
Of news.

Sulphur Springs. Ark. There Charles II.
Hebler, a druggist, told me he had an
odd looking piece of thick sulphur which
he had taken from an Indian mound a
short time previous. He showed II 10
me. It looked like a knife blade. We
scraped away the deposit of sulphur.
which was half an inch thick on each
side, and there remained the iron blade
Of an old knife. Clearly cut on one

From investigations I had made, ]
found that 800 or 100 years ago the
Welsh were the only people who made
iron Implements and placed the date
thereon. This fact. the Welsh tradi-
tons of the three ships which never re-
turned, the traditions Of the Arizona In
dams. those of the Greeks. the Greek
chief who spoke the Welsh language. and
the old iron knife with the date. all go
to corroborate the story that welshmen
beat Columbus to the great discovery
by something like 800 years"
Among all the queer implements and
relics Mr.. Barton has picked up In his
thirty years Of archaeological research
among the Indians. he values the old
knife blade above them all. In fact. he
keeps 1t locked up In a fireproof safe
and guards It as though il were gold.
Its worth far more than So much

in Vallejo. Cal, and charged with hav-
ing committed a murder in Nebraska
fourteen years ago, when he is brought
back to this State for trial.
Arrangements for the examination are
now being made by the Omaha police
and scientists connected with the medical
school. University OF Nebraska. For the
first time in the history of crime the
new electro-cardiograph, the invention OF
Dr. Einthoven, a famous scientist Of
Holland is 10 be used in clearing up
the mystery OF murder.
This instrumtnt. one of the most deli

being adjusted for the test The police
end of the investigation is in the hands
Of Col. John J. Ryder, police commits
sioner of Omaha, while DR.. Gruenther,
Of the university, will have charge Of
the electro-cardiograph.
Fright Caused Confession.
Kopf was arrested as the result of a
confession by a man who thought him
self dying. This man was Fuller Shall
lenberger, of Burlington, Kans. Shall
lenberger was overcome by heat last
July and physicians said he was dying.
When told there was no hope of his re-
covery. he called the Sheriff and con-
fessed that back In 1899 he and Kopf
murdered and robbed Julian Rabaud, q
rich old miser, who lived near Julian,
Nebr. He dictated and signed the con-
fession. Then he went to sleep, and when
he awoke next day was well on his way
to recovery. Since then he got entirely
well and has repudiated his confession.
However, he is in jail with a charge Of
murder against him. Kopf, who also left
located at Vallejo and placed under ar
rest. He denies all knowledge of the
murder of the old miser. ShaIlenberger
now says his confession was simply the
rawlings of man whose brain was dis
ordered from sunstroke.
Money Found In Can.
In shallenberger's confession he states
that after the old miser had been killed
he and Kopf found an old tin can half
filed with money. There was n jagged
edge to the can. and in Withdrawing
his hand from its mouth Kopf cut his
wrist badly. The can was found covered
with blood. 1t is remembered in Julian
that Koprs hand was bound up after
the murder. Some time after the crime
both men left the state.
