WEAK, AILING CHILD Made Strong By Delicious Vinol

Lakeport, N. H.-"Our little girT s years of age was in a debilitated, run oown condition and had a stubborn cough so she was weak and ailing all the time. Nothing helped her until we tried Vinol. Then hor appetite increased and she is strong and we'll, and i wish ether parents of weak, delicate children would try Vinol l'-GEo, A. COLLINS.

protecting or had, ever granted pro-
lection to any of the fox trot clubs
which infest the loop and are often
found quartered at hotels whose
names are so respectable that it
seems impossible that they would en-
gage in such business.
g. But Chas B. Miller, city prosecu-
tor and member of the administra-
ton cabinet yesterday stopped the in
vestigation which Judge Uhlir is con-
Quoting of the fox trotteries.
Judge Uhlir started the investiga-
ton against the night dance halls
when it was decided that the police
were not taking the action they
should. Girl after girl came into the
morals court and told of downfaIls
met at the early morning dances at
loop hotels.
At the fox trotteries the reveling
does not start until the a. m. time of
day. If these places could not sell
drinks after the legal closing hour
for bars, they could not exist. 1t
was to find out what places have
been selling after the closing hour
that Judge Uhlir called the investi-
cation that started this morning.
Morals Inspector Hanna was in
court with 1000 pages of evidence
against the fox trotteries under his
arm. He took the stand and started
recounting the experiences of Ruth
Christ, GAINESVILLE, Ohio, girl, who ran
away from home, landed in the Chi
cago morals court and told the Judge
of things done to her at midnight ho-
tel dances.
Here City Prosecutor Miller, whom
all thought would naturally be in ia
vor of getting the goods on law vio-
lators, interrupted and said he would |
rather hear the evidence direct from
Hanna's prosecutors, instead of from
the transcripts. Hanna was agree
able and said he could have his in |

CITY ADMINISTRATION ATTORNEY STALLS
FOX TROT CLUB INVESTIGATION

I'm WE'D liza l1N1N
This seemed to surprise Miller and
did not please him. ...
L would like to have an opportu-
nifty to investigate this case at
length" said Miller, and he asked for
continuance. This was granted
and the investigation goes over I'M
til Jan. 10. .
Before the investigation began to-
day Judge Uhlir remarked that this
was an executive and police rather
than a judicial matter Morals in
spector objected to turning the inves-
tgation over to Chief Healey. ct
would then be police investigation
of itself, and you know what that
would mean" said Hanna.
Hanna remarked that when he on
Dec. made complaint to Capt. Nor
gan Collins of the Fox Trot club at
the Morrison hotel, Collins said:
Young man, you ought to get up to
the times and find out what is going
on. This place operates as a club
and has so operated for three or four
years. The same thing is going on
at the Sherman house, the Bismarck
hotel, the Musicians club, Illinois
Athletic club and the Chicago ath-
letic club"
Hanna said he questioned Capt.
Collins about the athletic clubs yio-
lating the law and Collins replied:
They may not every night, but just
you go up there some night when
there's gang around and they will
sell drinks as long as there's any one

The material as well as moral and
social progress of a community is
safely measured by the development
and growth of it's schools. Take the
ten years just passed and there are
selves on the prosperity OF Pine Bluff.
For instance, ten years ago the
school attendance was 1856, white and
negroes, and 20 teachers; value of
school property $4,000, including
buildings, grounds and equipment.
Now there is an attendance of 1857
white pupils, and 1893 negroes; to-
tai $3.50. Number of white teachers

expense for running all these schools
is approximately $4,000, not includ-
ing insurance.
In addition to the above school re-
sources, the school board, two years
ago, bought Z acres of ground, in the
center Of the city and contiguous to
the High school, and established the
most complete and well-ordered ath-
letic park in the state. The park is
used each spring by some one of the
large baseball leagues for practice, as
we'll as for recreation. Last spring
the Milwaukee team used the park
as training ground, and they have

Eighty Per Cent of CITY Severed.


Our sanitary sewer system now pro-
vides for about 80 per cent Of the
total area of the city. All are of the
gravity type, mostly constructed on
minimum grades, and have their out
falls about twenty feet below high
water in the Arkansas river. These
conditions tend to decrease the effici-
ency of any sewers, but in spite of
this fact there has been very little
trouble or inconvenience to the in
dividual public.

struction during the past five years:

From this It IS very proper to as
sumo that while the number of build
ings constructed has diminished yearly
for the five years, until it has be-
come practically 100 per cent less at
the end of the five years, at the same
time the class of construction has in
creased over 100 per cent and this is
decided change for the better that
any city would be justly proud of.
