AMOS AND HIS MONEY.

Just before the Indian races began
Monday an Indian wagon drove
through the throngs of happy Nez
Perces, drove past the festal scenes,
out Main street and on to the res
ervation, SAYS the Lewiston Trib-
une. The light spring wagon was
brand new, and SO was the harness,
the whip, lap robe and other tackle,
The owner was evidently one of the
best paid of the Nez Perces and he
had invested part Of his money ac-
cordiDg to his taste. The driver
was also clad in new raiment and
his gorgeous attire indicated that
his heart ought to be glad from an
Indians point of view. In the
wagon that drove steadfastly past
the tempting scenes was long new
coffin.
Indian money does not always
bring peace. In this case it brought
self destruction. The box was for
Young Titus Amos, who lived atthe
mouth of the Potlatch creek. He
had seme trivial quarrel with his
wife, which originated over the
money question, and went out ard
shot himself. He was a son of old
George Amos and was but twenty
seven yeaas of age. His coffin was
a fine affair, bought with part of
his share Of the Nez Perez payment.
1t is very rare for an Indian to be
buried in cotfin-as rare as it is
for them to suicide. There have
been but four suicides among the
Nez Perces since 1871.

levy school tax are still in force"
Undoubtedly the intention of the
Legislature in the passage of the
barefoot" bill was to take from the
county all power to levy a school
tax, other than the special district
school levies. That the law failed
to restrict the county's power, is
probably a good thing, as in nearly
all the counties the per capita tax
of Sc to each pupil is too small to
keep the schools open. This is par
ticularly true in the town districts.
Whether the county commissioners
will levy a general school tax in
Whitman county has not been de-
termined yet, and probably will not
be until the levy is made in Oc-
tober.
The auditor has received notice
of many special levies having been
made, although number of dis
tricts that it was expected would
make levies have as yet failed to
do so. That officer has also received
notice, resembling the levy Of dis
trict 81, and is undecided whether
he can legally obey resembling or
der of this character. The matter
has been submitted to the prose-
cutting attorney. The levy in dis
trict 50 was made by the old board
of commissioner and rescinded by
the new.
Pullman city district No. SO, ac-
cording to a law enacted by the last
legislature, has asked the co-opera
ton Of the commissioners to make
a levy Of three mills to assist in
paying interest on their bonds out
standing. This in addition to five
mills already levied, will make a
tax Of eight mills for that district.
A noticeable feature about the levies
is that they are more uniform than
formerly, there being only four frac-
tional levies among the entire num-
Der.

TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS.

Assistant Attorney General
Haight on Saturday last addressed
the following opinion to the pros
ecuting attorney of Whitman coun-
ty, in answer to an inquiry, says
the Gazette:
you inquire in your communi-
cation of the Odd inst, whether
chapter 6S, laws Of 1895, providing
for the levy Of a school tax oy the
state board Of equalization, repeats
so much of section "a of the rev.
enue law of 1898 as authorizes the
boards of county commissioners to
levy a county school tax.
IAN inspection of the act of 1895
shows that there is no express re-
peal. AS to whether there was any
repeal by implication, it must be
SAID that there is no inconsistency
between the two provisions of law
and both must stand, unless it
clearly appears from the act of
1895 that act was inteded to cover
the whole subject of taxation for
school purposes.
"Whatever might have been the
intention of those who originally
drafted the bill, it is understood to
be a part of the history Of this bill
that it's passage was secured by a
compromise reducing the amount to
be obtained by the state levy from
$40 to Sc per child of school age in
the state. 1t is also a fact that the
average disbursement for school
purposes per child of school age
WITHIN the state of Washington dur
ing the past year was upwards of
$11. 1t is quite apparent, there
fore, that the actual condition of
the schools of this state, with ref
erenee to which the law of 1895 was
passed, would indicate that the law
of 1895 was not to be the sole pro-
vision for the maintenance of the
schools of the state. The fact is in
harmony with the language of the
act of 1895, which nowhere init
mates or suggests or implies that
it's provisions are to furnish the
sole authority for the levying of
taxes for the support of the public
schools of the state.
II am, therefore, of the opinion
that the provisions of section "a of
the revenue law of 1898 empower
ing the county commissioners to

Saved by a East Trotter.

Last Monday night counsellor .. l.
Blackwell and Justice Levi Holcombe
were returning to their home at Ringoes
from visit TO Pennington. The hour
was late. The counsellor was driving
his trotler, "Ticonic," which he had re-
Gently purchased of A. Killgore. 1t is a
lucky thing that be was.
On narrow strip Of road this side of
Copper Hill the horse suddenly struck in
to fast gait, and the counsellor checked
him almost Immediately. The horse was
uneasy, however, under the restraint, and
moment later he again squared himself
for trotting and lit out. Then Mr.. Black.
well became convinced that team was
behind his wagon, and asked Squire Hol-
combe to look back and verify his sus-
picions. The Squire looked and report
ed team, TO big farm wagon, on full
run. II was plain that the driver OF the
team could not control them, and that
they were running wild for home.
The road was too narrow to admit OF
turning out and allowing the runaways TO
pass, and the counsellor saw at glance
that he would have to give the team
race. Speaking to "Ticonic" The noble
horse settled to his work, and for mile
and half speed was shown on that
road that is not often seen. The trotter
kept few yards ahead of the runaways
until wider road was reached, when he
was turned to one side ont of the way and
the runaways passed on.
"Ticonic" has record of 23l. Ga
this occasion Mr.. Blackwell thinks he
tr0tted at 2.l5 gait. Had he not gone
fast and kept out of the way of the runa-
ways the buggy would have been crashed
into and serious if not fatal results must
have followed. II was great race there
on lonely road in the darkness of mid
nighl-a race for life, II may be said. The
runaway horses belonged TO John Read
ing. A mile farther on they were stop.

Burroughs Wolverton, married man
aud the father Of one child, and Ella M.
Fell, IA year-old girl, were arrested by
Officer John Ramsey, OF Pennington, last
Friday night, at the house of Wolverton's
brother near Pleasant Run. The couple
hailed from Bucks county, Pa, four miles
from New Hope. Wolverton has not
lived with his wife for some time past,
he having become infatuated with the Fell
girl. On Friday morning the girl packed
her effects In a paper bag and the girl
aud Wolvcrton, struck for the home OF
his brother at Pleasant Run. They were
followed by the girls step father, Garrett
Hoagland, who, after reaching Pennington
secured a warrant for Wolverton's arrest
on the charge Of fornication. Officer
Ramsey found the ill-assorted couple at
George Wolverton's near Pleasant Run,
and brought them before Justice Kline.
Upon the girls promise to return home
with her step-father she was released,
but Wolverton was put under bail. This was
furnished by Robert L Bird, a farmer
of that vicinity, for whom Wolverton had
engaged to work. The girl declares that
she will wed Wolverton as soon as be Sc
cures divorce from his wife. The wife
and child of Wolverton live at Penning-
ton.

Last Wednesday night, about 8 o.
clock, as Asa B. Reading was proceeding
from Pennington to his home at Fleming
ton Junction, on his bicycle, he saw a
fence rail lying across the road near James
g. Ewing's corner. Mr.. Reading steered
his wheel clear of the obstruction and
rode on.
He had gone but few yards, however,
when three men arose from the side OF
the road and commanded him 10 halt, but
away be went at a speed for which he is
noted. They began firing their pistols,
five shots being fired. The firing may
have been merely to frighten him into
surrender, or with the hope that he would
become ratified and fall from the wheel.
Before starting, Mr.. r. had done some
business with party which required the
handling of some money by him. He
was eyed pretty sharply by stranger
who saw quite bunch of money In his
hands. Moreover, neighbor gave him
a check for $35 to get cashed in Fleming.

by the stranger. The suspicion is war

who may have been foraging somewhere
in the neighborhood, and the plot laid to
intercept Mr.. Reading on his way home
and rob him of the ninety dollars he had
upon bis person.

The attempts of the enemies OF Mr..
Griggs 10 make it appear that he was
and is opposed to legislation calculated
to benefit the laboring classes have, so
far, fallen short of their object. One OF
the strongest and more recent testmon-
ials to the faithful service of Mr.. Griggs
in the interest Of labor, appears lie the
form OF letter OF congratulation sent to
him by Mr.. Edward O'Donnell, who was
for many years Secretary Of the Passaic
County Trades Assembly. In this letter
Mr.. O'Donnell says: "With your early
record as legislator. both in the House
and Senate, am indeed personally famil-
lar, and l must say it was all the most
jealous worker in the ranks OF organized
labor might desire. II the working peo-
pie purpose seeking relief through legis.
lative methods, they should stand upon
the broad platform Of measures, not par
ties, and affirm their confidence and 10y
atty TO the man who dared to stand by
their interests. That you are entitled, by
right of voice and vote, on behalf OF the
toilers, to this consideration, ample testi-
mony may be recorded"
