The Gardiner High school foot ball
team has disbanded for this year. AL
though the team has not had many vic
tories to its credit, yet some good games
were played by them. For instance, those
two games played by the high school team
with Cony High of Augusta, in which
| neither side VS. able TO score, were as good
| exhibitions of foot ball playing as WAS
ever seen in Gardiner. The two games
only show that the rival foot ball elevens
are as evenly matched as can be. Gardi-

AFTER a hard fight the sugar bounty
appropriation amendment to the sun
dry civil bill was passed by the lower
branch Of congress. 1t is almost a
certainty that the president will sign
the bill This gives a clear donation
of cents per pound for every pound CT
sugar manufactured within the United
States since the repeal of the Mckinley
law, Out of this appropriation the
sugar mill at this place will come in
for its share which will enable the COM
pany, if it is in any way disposed to be
honest and fair, to square up accounts
with the cane growers and laborers.
We await the result with anxiety and
interest. The legislature of Kansas is
TO be congratulated upon its firm stand
taken in refusing to make the cent
bounty appropriation as demanded by
the Iowa bank. Such action would
haye been equivalent TO eXtortlng many
thousands of dollars from the tax pay
ers of the state to build up gigantic
monopoly whose only mission is to
fasten the chains of bondage firmly up
on the bone and sinew of the land. We
hope the cane haulers will get their
money but, as we have said many times
before, we dislike the idea Of hiring
corporations to pay their honest debts.

HE ROBBED THEM.

Queer understanding of an Apprens
tice Hand I'm Turkish Bath.
When the new apprentice assumed
his duties at the Turkish bath estab-
lishment the manager thought he
seemed rather stupid and entered into
a long explanation of what he was to
do. He particularly emphasized the
command that the attendant was to
rub 'em without mercy"
During the day the manager heard a
great many complaints from his pa
irons that they had lost their personal
property. He thought that sneak
thief must have come in to get washed,
and resolved to be on the look out He
discovered nothing, however, though
he peeked around most of the day like
an amateur detective, hiding in all sorts
of places.
Toward the time when the new at
tendant was about to go off duty the
latter went into the managers office
and began behaving with much mys-
terry. He walked around like wet
hen, waiting until the coast was clear
When there was none but himself and
his chief in the Office he tiptoed up to
the door and locked it. Then he pro-
duced from his pockets five gold
watches, some diamond rings, a few
scarfpins and gold-headed cane, which
he set forth with great pride before the
manager, who, horrorstruck, rccog-
nized the effects as belonging to his
customers.
you told me to rob 'em without
mercy" said the delighted novice, "and
done it. Do yer think I'll suit, boss!"
