Our School System.
Coos county offers to homeseekcrs I
many advantages but perhaps none
are more valuablo than the excel
lent system of the public schools
maintained throughout the county.
Mr. W. II. Bunch, the present coun
ty superintendent of schools, is a
teacher of largo experience and prac
tical ideas, and does much to increase
tho proficiency of the schools by
his timely visits and suggestions.
The Marshfield public school is in
respect to enrollment and equipment
by far the most extensive in the
county. By tho last census marshal's
report thero were above 500 census
children within this school district.
Tho building is conveniently situat
ed for the various districts, and con
tains twelve commodious school
rooms. It contains ten large recita
tion rooms, with seating for over
400 pupils, an assembly room suita
ble for seating a largo audience, and
a suitably equipped laboratory. In
time an additional two room high
school must be added to meet the de
mand for Increased educational fa
cilities. There are ten teachers in
tho corps of instructors, most of
whom wero born and reared on Coos
Bay, they having acquired extensive
experience in normal school work.
It is hoped that the school will go
on, adding branch after branch until
it shall equal in excellence the best
schools of the state. In average
daily attendance, regularity and
punctuality tho school sustains a
record equally meritorious with older
schools which in every particular is
excellent, thus reflecting great credit
upon the teachers and pupils and is
the proof of general and friendly co
operation on the part of the parents
of the district opens tomorrow.
Tomorrow the Marshfield schools
will open for the coming school year,
and if the present growth of the city
is any criterion, it may be confident
ly expected that the school room
will be inadequate for the accommo
dation of the pupils that will appear
for study in the morning. Tho vaca
tion is over and the pupils are ready
for tho new work.
The change in text books will work
a hardship on many parents who can
ill afford to throw away the old
books and provide new ones, particu
larly where there is a large family.
Periodical changes in text books
is not popular with tho
school patrpns and seems simply a
waste of money to those who pay
tribute to tho American Book com
pany. Oregon has an uniform book
system, and despite tho fact that the
change has been made and supervised
by men to whom no thought of graft
could attach, the people of the state
can see no reason for such a change.
It is held by those who recommend a
change in text books that modern
methods are constantly changing and
that books must change in keeping
with the methods. Still, whether tho
pupil gets it from Robinson's, Went
worth's, or any other arithmetic, he
learns the same rules of arithmetic,
and finds that two and two are four,
that seven times seven are forty-nlnft
and that plus and minus hare the
meanings wherever encoun-
tered.
The change z made as attractive
a3 possible by reason of tho ex
change price which attaches. The
parent is made to believe that the
books will not cost so very much be
cause the booksellers giro a reb.ite
whore an old book is turned in on the
exchange basis. Hut thero are but
few text books which can bo turned
in, since they will be found damaged
in most cases, and the trust is not
taking soiled and defaced books. So,
it remains that the change is a means
of reaching down into the pockets of
the people of Oregon and taking
their money from them on pretense
of giving them something better.
It may bo allowed that whoro a
pupil has graduated and is ready for
tho next grade, there is no loss to the
purchaser. This is true, but where
thero are children who can use the
old books handed down by the oldei
pupils, the effect is just as expensive,
since the old books are worthless and
must ba thrown away.
The change in text books means
several hundred thousand of dollars
to the American Hook company as
tho laws allow no change for certain
periods and in that time, tha people
will pay the price of trust graft, and
then some other concern will get
them.

Marshfields' Live Club to Have
New Quarters Over Lock
hart Building.
WILL ADD THIRD STORY
When Completed the Quarters Will
Compare Favorably With
Host In State.
Marshfield is to have one of the
finest and best equipped clubs and
club houses In the state of Oregon,
outside of Portland. When such a
statement is made, it means a great
deal, yet Marshfield will deliver the
goods and by the first or middle of
November, will be ready to show
others a club can be organized and
equipped for opening within a short
time. The name of tho club is the
Millicoma, and the new scheme of
organization is simply an enlarge
ment of the Millicoma as first started.
Tho organization first opened its
doors in February last, and the club
members were so much pleased with
having a club at home that they
soon commenced to lay plana for big
ger and better things in every way
connected with the organization. The
old rooms In the Marsden building
on Front street were soon found to
bo inadequate, and not half the
amusements could 'be installed which
really make the life and attractions
of a club.
It was thereforo deemed neces
sary to build on a larger foundation
if the club was to be the great con
venience and pleasure which the
business and professional men of the

city would have it. The members
have accepted the largeness of tho
organization and are planning every
thing connected with tho new club
to be on such a scale that It will not
be necessary to enlarge or find more
room for some years to come.
The arrangements call for a third
story which will be built immediate
ly over the large Lockhart building
on the northeast corner of Front
and A Streets, giving a space about
85 x GO feet. The plans and specifi
cations have been drawn by Architect
Perham and have been accepted by
the club. Bids will be advertised
for soon and the work will be pushed
to completion Just as rapidly as the
contractor can execute it.
Among tho rooms in the club
house will be the following; a large
reading room; 'large writing room;
commodious billiard and pool room;
lounging room with stage for private
theatricals; a well equipped bar,
i3 the" intention to have a regular
date and handily arranged kitchen.
When tho club Js first opened, the
members will have use for the kitch
en only upon special occasions when
a banquet is given; afterwards, it
part of club life in many places and
service whero lunch will be served
at Jn the best clubs of Portland and
the other largo coast cities. These
lunches are made a very attractive
part of club lif in many places and
there is no reason why the same
tiling cannot be done here. Dr.
Ilaydon, whose catering Is so
'favorably known, will be the official
chef of the organization and the
members know they may always be
certain of a good feed when has bus
the management.
As an example of the poularrlty
of the enterprise, the quick work of
the committee in securing the neces
sary subscriptions for making the
club an Immediate nuccess is full
evidence. This committee, consisting
of Jack Flanagan, Claude Nasburg
and E. K. Jones obtained ?2,500 in
one afternoon.
The club will be incorporated and
will work under the regular corpor
ation rules set down by the state
laws. Thero are 500 shares of
stock at ten dollars per share. Each
member Is required to subscribe for
at least three shares, which same en
titles him to membership and the
privileges of the organization! Tho
price of dues has not yet been named
and will bo adjusted later on.
Following aro tho members now

longing to the other club who have
not been solicited; there are others
yet to subscribe.

ILLED GOBEL :
Kentucky Woman Makes Affi
davit to That Effect He
Told Her as Much.
GREAT MYSTERY SOLVED
Cubel Powers Has Been Held
Jail Seven Years For
the Crime.
In
Richmond, Ind., Sept. 21. Turner
Igo, one of the farmers of Rowan
county, Kentucky, Is charged with
the killing of William Goebel In an
affidavit by Mrs. Lula Clark which
was published exclusively today by
the Richmond Evening Time3. The
affidavit was sworn to vlast April in
tho law office of former Governor
William S. Taylor of Kentucky. Mrs.
Clark, whose maiden name was Lula
Williams, lived at tho timo of tho
Gobcl murder, at Mount Sterling,
Kentucky. She had a cousin named
King who then lived at Merryvllle,
Kentucky. Miss King was at the
time, according to hto -affidavit,
keeping company with Jolin Sanford,
of Covington, a son of an attorney
who was killed by Gobel in a fight
some years ago. The fight resulted
from a political quarrel. Mrs. Clark
swears that on tho day of tho Gobel
murder, she and her cousin went to
Frankfort and as they started to
enter tho house by tho rear enter
nnce, a shot was fired. At tho same
time they noticed a man standing
just inside the door, whom they
recognized as Sanford. In a minute
a second man came running out of
the building dressed like a mountain
eer and carrying a rifle. Ho ran to
Sanford and said. I got tho G
D B The man was recogniz-
cd, by affiant a3 her friend Turner
Igo. Both men ran out of the build
ing to the fence, where Sanford gave
a pair of shoes which ho was carry
ing to Igo, who exchanged his boots
for them. The men then disappear
ed. The affalnt states that Igo told
her at the Mount Sterling depot, Jan.
25th, 1900, he would go and kill
Gobel and she saw him afterwards
at Jeffersonville, Ind, and ho remind
ed her that he had fulfilled his
promise. She also says Sanford told
Gertrude a few days prior to Gobel's
murdor that ho intended to kill
Gobcl, saying hero Is my chance to
get revenge. The legislature has
met. Tho Evening Times corrects
also the published correspondence
between Caleb Powers and Parsons
who sceured affidavits and afterwards
investigated its allegations for veri
fications, showing expenses for in
formation gained wero paid from
Powers defence fund.
Taylor Obtained Affadavit.
Indianapolis, Sept. 21. W. S.
Taylor could not bo found today to
verify tho statement in tho dis
patch from Richmond. The Clark
woman formerly lived here. Sho
was a brakeman's wife. It is said
they were divorced a year ago.
Three years ago Mrs. Clark told tho
story of Gobel's murder to an Indian
apolis newspaper man who took tho
woman to Governor Taylor who took
her deposition. Tho story was not
published, Governor Taylor
fearing
publication would mako verification
Impossible and he hoped to locate tho
man who was with Mrs. Clark. Pre
liminary to tho first trial 'Caleb
Powers' friend, tho secretary of
state, had sought to establish the
fact that John Sanford was at Frank
fort on tho day of tho shooting, but
efforts to establish this failed.
