Closina of Bills School.

June oath was the close of the Bills
school, and right well did teacher,
pupils and patrons blend their efforts
to make it a gala day.
The forenoon was devoted to exam
nations, reviews, etc. At noon the
crowd sought the grove, adjacent to
the school ground, with well-filled
baskets and spread their dinner on
table that had been previously
prepared, and for two hours or more
mid conversation, jests andlaughter
each partook of as abundant and
carefully prepared meal as any
dainty epicure could wish to be
tempted by.
An interesting programme had been
arranged by the teacher, Miss An
ma Callahan, and pupils. At2 O'Clock
we were called to the school room
and the exercises began. Among
those worthy of remark was little
Emma Dowell, who recited with pa
thos and melody. "If Mother were
Here" Dialogue, "The Morning Calr'
by Katie Bills and Emma Duvall,
who affected the illiterate and I'M
couth air of the city gossip of a cen
tury age to perfection. Little Bessie
Dowell and Miss Fannie Bills both
read essays that showed their care
full preparation and use of good Ian
guage. The Longfellow recitation
and tableau by ten little girls was
worthy of especial remark. Sew
eral outsiders assisted in max
ing the afternoon more pleasant.
Miss Lizzie Maupin rendered the
ssReal Wax-Work" in that graceful,
humorous manner for which she is
noted. Miss Anna Cupp spoke" Good
Night" Mrs. Ella WeIch, Mr.. Oscar
Maupin, and Chas. Hedrick each
contributed in the way of declama-
tions. The exercises closed with
the "Farewel Address" by Ellie
Hedrick who recited in his usual
clear tone.
Miss Anna has given general salts
faction and as an evidence has been
re-employed for the winter term.

Miss Nora Phillips closed her
school at the Cottrell school-house
last Friday night with an entertain
ment. Miss Phillips worth as a
teacher was proven by the interest
taken, and the manner in which the
pupils acquitted themselves. All the
parts of the exercises were good, and
some were extra, but the crowning
feature was reached in the presenta-
tion of a keepsake to Miss Nora by
Miss Maggie Stacy, in behalf of the
school. Miss Maggie's words we're
full of love for their teacher, and were
replied to by Miss Nora in the same
feeling of affection and kindness.

Noble looks to be about % or 23
years of age, and is said to have a
wife and one child in the northern
part of this OF the southern part OF
Macon county, whom he deserted a

got himself into trouble with a 15-
year-old girl whom he was forced to
marry last October, butsubsequently
deserted her.
No charge of bigamy has yet been
made against Noble, but the other
charges, if proven, will certainly pave
his way to the front entrance of the

A KANSAS FoReER AND EMBEzzLER.
He Was Taken in OF Brunswick Monday by
Sheriff Anderson.

Sheriff Anderson arrested Frank
Noble at Brunswick last Monday,
who is wanted in Anderson county,
Kas., for forgery and embezzlement.
Mr.. Anderson recently had some
correspondence with j. W. Farris,
sheriff of Anderson county, Kas.,
concerning young Mobiles where
abouts.
Mr.. Farris' first letter gave de-
scription of the man wanted and
stated that it was believed that No
BILE was at his brother-in laws in
Brunswick. but the brother-in-law's
name was not known. A second let
ter gave Noble's brother-in-law's
name as Sherman West.
Mr.. Anderson went to Brunswick
Monday, found his man, placed him
under arrest and brought him to
Keytesville, after having telegraphed
Mr.. Farris that Noble was in the
tolls. Mr.. Farris telegraphed back
to hold Noble and that he (Farris)
would be here on the first train.
The Anderson county officer ar
rived here Monday night and start
ed back with Noble Tuesday morn
ing, he having proven to be the man
wanted.
The prisoner is represented to be a
shady character. The amount OF his
forgery is $35, and he having al
so given a chattel mortgage onsome
personal property he did not own,
but represented it as being his, will
likely lead to the additional charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.

1t is reported that President Hill OF
the Great Northern has taken another
important step. He has filed notice
of withdrawal from the western traffic
association. This was not unexpected,
as his contempt for that organization
has always been evident, and his ulti-
mate withdrawal at time when he was
fully able to hoe his own row was regard
ed as matter of course. A glance at
the railroad map and a knowledge of
rate-making will show that the Union
Pacific cannot remain a member and be
hampered by the association rules when
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific are free lances. 1t is confidently
believed that the Union Pacific will with
. draw this week. When this inevitable
result occurs, there can be no further
thought of continuing the association in
its present form, nor in any other so far
proposed. Chicago officials see no hope
of any new agreement until the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific come
to an understanding. Until then
, through traffic will go by the board, and
every energy will be bent toward foster
ing local business.

THE IDAHO CAMPAIGN.

In the absence of anything at home
interesting in campaign work, 1t may
not be inappropriate to call attention to
the vim displayed at the beginning IN
Idaho. The campaign opened on the
part of the republicans at Sand Point
Yesterday. and our dispatches show
that it was rightly opened. The point
made that the peoples party is part OF
the product of anarchism is rightly
taken, and it is curious to know whether
the farmers of this country are prepared
to receive it's dictation in the future.
Farm strikes would indeed be some
thing new; and they may be looked tor
if the third party succeed in placing n
few anarchists in power. That is what
it is intended for, beyond doubt.
The democrats of Idaho are totally
demoralized politically. There has ap-
peared on the scene in Idaho democratic
politics lot OF political adventures
who have combined for the purpose OF
retiring the old party workers whom
they term mossbacks. Such men as
HALEY, Ainslie, Stevenson, Wilson and
others who have sacrificed the best days
of their lives in advocacy of what they
term Jacksonian democracy, have been
sat down upon, and Tammany methods
are to be substituted. Certainly the
friends of these gentlemen who have
been so Sruthlessly retired do not feel
very sympathetic toward those who are
in the combination. Then again the
action of the recent democratic house III
repeating the tariff on lead has not had
a tendency to stiffen the backbone oi
those democrats who are interested in
the mines. 1t is predicted that they
will make very small showing When
the polls are counted in November.
