and will compare favorably with other
schools OF the county, and that Miss
Alta, by applying herself diligently,
has won first honors. Her many friends
feel proud of the distinction she has
won, and are confident that she will
acqult herself creditably in the gradual
ing exercises.
A Sa,ina special: G.. w. Cooper,
agent for the Ferd Helm Brewing COM
pany of Kansas City. Mo, assisted by a |
worthless character named Cole, opened |
an original package house here. At the
instigation of Mayor c. X. Underwood,
City Attorney Frazier filed complaint !
against Cooper and Cole in the police
court. They plead guilty, and Cooper |
was fined $1S5 ard costs $50. Cole |
was fined S135, and costs $27. The |
police judge, Musser, has refused to
take bond, and says they can either
pay or go to jail. There is great re-
loicing over the moral courage shown |
by our mayor and officers in this bust
ness. The resubmissiOnists are very
much scared in Salina. Missouri can
not foiee her vile stuff on our commu-
uity.
