some Rnd RoHa.

1t was a sad sight, bad beginning
prophetic of a bad ending, to see four
boys, scarce Is years of age in charg
of the police, Saturday morning on
charge of being drunk the day before
The boys were John Hughes, Frank
Stallman, Arthur Pickett and Mick
Conley. They were fined in police
court three dollars and costs each, ex.
cept Stallman, who would not plead
guilty.
They were questioned as to where
they got their liquor and all refused
to tell till Hughes, the youngest finally
broke down and said they had borrowed
two dollars from a man named Brown
and had given it to a colored man
named Walker who got the whiskey.

The city editor of the News is not
pleased with the progress of the post
office investigation. In the first place
he thinks it is an outrage to suspend
Miss Eva Beam, clerk of the depart
ment in which the shortage occurred.
Second, he thinks the inspectors and
postmaster are measly men because
they won't tell him everything. But as
we understand it Miss Beam has been
only temporarily suspended and if she
shows herself clear, as her friends
think she will, she will doubtless be re-
instated. And as to their mySterio US
mumness, it might be said that their
telling everything they know would be
something like a detective in following
up case, announcing to the public, 81
am a detective, l know thus and so and
as fast as 1 learn anything I'll let
every body know"

may be severely dealt with by iratie
citizens. Several years ago when the
Santa Fe had collectors on the passen-

Bad Ending.

A youngman formerly of Hutchinson
and we'll known here by the name OF
George Thomas, has come to trouble in
Garnett, Kansas. A young girl of that
city by the name Of Gertie Baird with
whom he had been keeping company,
confessed to her mother that she was in
a delicate condition and said she had
taken some medicine Thomas had
given her. From the effects of this
she died on Thursday afternoon,
but Thomas had skipped ere the facts
had become known. He had been run
ming a joint and the sheriff siezed his
property bat afterward turned it overto
Mrs. Oliver Greenfield, woman who
is said to have also been raised in this
county, she claiming to be the rightfLl
owner of the property. The sheriff i'm
mediately arrested her then on the
charge of violating the prOhibitory law.
The governor has offered a two hun
bred dollar reward for the arrest Of
Thomas, and it is said if he should be
captured before public feeling abates be

ChFIBtmoo At ma ReFormntoPy,

The boys at the RefOrmatory were
given a Christmas such as doubtless
few Of them would have experienced
had they not been incarcerated there.
A fine turkey dinner with cranberry
sauce was given, a literary program
was rendered by some Of the inmates
and after that was finished, the NJ. e.
choir rendered a few appropriate sell
eetiOns. Finally Eve Of the boys were
given what was to them Christmas
present more to be priced than any
thing else that could have been
granted, namely a parole.

A Meeting and a woIdIng.

The editor of the GAZETTE and wife,
were very happily surprised Monday
night by the visit of two old classmates
one Of which was Mr.. W. s. Robb, the
superintendent elect of Stafford county
and the oEher, Mr., II y Dodd, sup.
eribtehd6nt elect of the county in which
Guthrie, Oklahoma is the county seat.
Both were not only acquainted with the
GAZETTE folks, but were classmates to
gether, and the meeting was entirely
without Encouragement.
The same evening the editor went
with Mr.. Dodd to the residence of
Judge FOntrOn and he secured licence
to wed Miss Laura Hood, also another
classmate who has been teaching in the
west part of the county near Huntsville.
They were married by the probate
Judge at his residence on Wednesday
evening and took the train at 11:28 for
Guthrie. We wish them much happt
ness even though Mr.. DOdd is on the
wrong side of the political fence, for he
is a fine fellow and has very estimable
wife,

partment approaching $4,000, The ex'
act amount is not announced but it is
said to be about $1,000 in the cash, and
500 In stamps.
Two inspectors, Cochran and Sutton.
were here. The former however, left
for Topeka Sunday night on unavoid-
able business In court. The latter re-
NAMED a day or two till Cochren re-
turned to continue the efforts to locate
the trouble.
The shortage being in the money or
der department the money order clerk
Miss Eva Beam, has been suspended
pending the investigation. What tbs
inspectors may think we cannot say
but her large circle of friends will not
believe her guilty. Neither does any
one seem inclined to blame the post
master, who is thought to be an honest
and efficient man. The popular idea
appears to be that some minor en-
plOye mas been the one to abstract the
funds.
OF course the inspectors will say
nothing and the public has few
facts to Judge from. However the
deputy postmaster, Will Mead, said to
the writer that they had a number OF

covered will fall upon Mr.. Mead or his

Christmas.

The various churches and Sunday
schools of the city appropriately Cele-
brsted the Yule time. One thing
which possibly may lessen the attrac-
tiveness of the Christmas tree, is the
absence Of the private presents to be
given away publicly. However, it is
a splendid reform" in the manage
ment of Christmas trees, for the poor
waif that gets little or nothing while
its little neighbOr is laden with costly
articles, does not go away happy, and
often poor parents would buy presents
they were not able to, simply to prevent
this from happening.
The large churches had trees and
treats except the Methodist and Pres
byterian, which did not have the trees
However, they had the treats and a
fine literary program as did also the
others. AT the Episcopal ladder took
the place of the tree.

that while an indignity was committed
it was done with no evil motive and
further, that there was doubt con-

Therefore giving him the benefit of
