 INVESTIGATION.

His sub- ject is "The Comparative Value of Mathematics with Other Studies in Formal Discipline" Prof. Wilson has departed from the traditional way of preparing his thesis. His method is unique but scientific He is using the high school students of Arkansas as his laboratory. He prepares sets of questions, mails them to the princi- pals of the high schools, who conduct the examination among their students and returns the answers Prof. Will son. These papers are furnishing the data for his study.
 Prof. Wilson has already gathered over 1,200 sets of papers and hopes to secure twice that number the coming school year, as the principals of high schools are becoming interested in his investigations and will cooperate in the work of conducting the tests. No tests along this particular line have ever been made before The work is entirely original and Prof. Wilson hopes to work out something that will ne of interest to all school men espe- cially The investigation will last two or three days.

WOULDN'T TRUST HIM.

Although hot and exhausted, P. c. Patrick O'Broil felt not a little pleased with himself. He had just effected his first arrest since becom- ing a member of the force; and, more than that, an arrest certainly to be proud of. In short, after a long, ex- citing chase, he had captured Tom Crooke, the notorious but elusive housebreaker
 While he was marching to the sta ton, however, with his prisoner, the latter's hat suddenly blew off and went scurrying away along the street.
 "Lawk's!' Cried Tom. "There goes my at! Shall I run after it?'
 "Phawt?" roared Pat, wise look on his face. You run after 1t and not come back again? No, my lad, you stand here; I'll get your hat. - Exchange.

BANKER SUES EDITOR
 FOR CRIMINAL LIBEL
FREEMAN OF KENSETT KEY, NOTE DEPENDANT IN SUIT
 BY VIM. ABERNATHT.

From Saturdays Daily.
 Suit was filed in Justice of the Peace A. Neelly's court yesterday by Wm. Abernathy, president Of the Farmers Bank of Kensett, against Ben Freeman, editor of the Kensett Keynote, charging Freeman with criminal libel for certain published statements appearing in the weeks is sue of the Keynote. Hon. s. Brun- didge is attorney for Abernathy and the case has been set for next Mon- day. Freeman was arrested at Ken sett yesterday afternoon and gave bond in the sum of $500 for his ap- pearance.
 A portion of the article published by Freeman and for which the suit for criminal libel was instituted, is as follows:
 Banker William Abernathy, the above mentioned party, must consid- CT himself some pumpkins since he has been able to cut such a swell around Kensett of late, and by his uncalled for methods forced this pa per to move out of doors, practically.
 He is the big thing here with the insurance company by which he is employed, and of course when he told Roy Holsten (from whom We rent) that he would have the insurance withdrawn from the residence at once if we did not move the printing office out, although the insurance on the building was paid three years in advance, he thought he was the wise article.
 "Evidently he thought that he could put the Keynote out of business by this one grand order, but he mis- judged us, surely.
 "The banker has gotten up to where he can live in Sears -Roebuck mod eled house now, and once in a while he catches a sucker from afar and through some real estate deal skins him out of c few beans; he deals in real estate, Insurance, and the Lord only knows what else.

MUST BE ASSESSED
 WHERE OWNER LIVES
PERSONAL PROPERTY NOT TO BE LISTED WHERE SITUAT-
 ED, IS RULING.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-An opinion has been rendered by Attorney Gen. eral Moose that will have a wide spread effect upon the assessment of certain classes of property in the state.
 County Judge Stan C. Harley of Clark county propounded the ques- tion. He asked in what township per sonal property should be assessed when the owner lives in the corpor- ate limits of a town or city, and the property to be assessed consists of horses, mules and farming imple- ments situated on farm in another township.
 This condition is brought about by the fact that some persons who live in town wish to escape city taxes on their personal effects situated on a farm in another township, claiming the right to assess in the township in which the property is situated. He says in reply:
 Ut is my opinion that Section 69O4 of the Digest does not give them the right to do so. That part of the sec tion which seems to give the right to assess personal property in the town ship in which it is situated, refers to property of person who does not reside in the county, and whose property is required to be listed by others on his behalf.
 "The latter part of the section pro- vides that other personal property, moneys, credits or effects shall be en- tered for taxation in the township, school district, city or town in which the person to be charged with the taxes resided at the time of listing the same by the assessor, if the per son resides in the county in which such property, money or effects are listed.
 Any other construction of the first part of this section would be abso- lutely in conflict with the latter part of the section have just quoted. All personal property and effects belong ing to a citizen in your county should be assessed in the township and school district and city in which the

EXONfRATf O|LLARD Of CH|LD'S DEATH NOT CAUSED BY WHIPPING PHYSICIAN A SOLV E D OF BLAME FOR ORPHANS DEATH
 AT CONWAY.

The death at Conway two months ago of three-year-old Ray Hicks, an orphan just adopted by Rev. J M. Bishop. was not the result of whip ping administered by Dr. E. B. Dill Iiard, superintendent of the Arkansas Childrens Home, according to re- port submitted Saturday by special investigating committee appointed by former Governor George w. Dona- ghey. The report, which clears Dr.. billiard of all charges of cruelty, sign ed by Gen. B. w. Green. w. M. Ga ranflo, Max Heiman and U. s. Brat ton, and is as follows:
 I've, the undersigned, directors of the Arkansas Children's Home, ap- pointed as committee by the board of directors to investigate charges of cruelty alleged against Dr. E. 5. Dill lard, superintendent of the society, by individuals and through the press of the city, make this, our report.
 I've diligently and patiently have made inquiry relative to said charges, taking testimony and evidence for and against Dr. billiard, and we here by submit our report as to the ind ings and specifications and charges made in the case.
 We find that Dr. billiard admits very frankly he chastised the child Tn question because in his judgment 1t needed chastisement to control its temper and obedience to the rules of the home. That the child was about three years old and not, as charged, IS months old; that the instrument of chastisement was switch or limb o1 tree which grew in the yard of the home at Seventh street and Summit avenue. and was about one-eighth of an inch in diameter and Is inches long. That the switch was of tender growth and that to control the child this was applied to its naked body, but did not cause an abrasion of the skin and it could not have done so under the circumstances. That the whipping given the child was not more severe than if inflicted upon his oown child.
 I've are of the opinion that the chastisement was necessary under the circumstances and was not brutal or severe That there was no abrasion of the skin, causing blood to be emit ted. We do not believe that pr. Dill lard was unwise or imprudent or un- just in the infiiction of this chastise- ment. We believe it was necessary under the circumstances.
 We have carefully considered the testimony adduced against Dr. Dill lard in a justice of the peace court of Argenta, and taking into account other testimony, we believe that the assessment of the fine against Dr. billiard by said court was unwise, and not justified by the testimony we had in the case.
 "We believe, further, that there is a prejudice existing in the minds of certain parties who took an active part in the prosecution against Dr. Dillard, which totally is unwarranted, and which arises from false impress sions as to his character and disposi- ton towards his wards. We believe that Dr. billiard is very humane, kind and patient with all of his wards, but

it the same time, in order to control nd to protect and to direct the best interests of his wards, he must have discipline in the home, and especially ecause of want of proper control if those children who have been so unfortunate as not to have parental are as to common decency and be- havior.
 "We have investigated the cause of the death of the child which occurred several weeks after the chastisement administered by Dr. billiard, and we took evidence of the attending physi- clan and find there was no immediate connection of the whipping of the child and it's death, which was caused malarial complications.
 "We, therefore, after full investi- gation of the charges made against Dr. billiard as above recited, recom- mend him to the society as worthy of full confidence.
