"One w. s. Myrick, of Springfield,

by u. S. Marshal Locke aud brought

Miami several weeks ago, represent

which ended in the arrest. A tele-

ROUND OVER.

The preliminary examination of
Charles Jones, the negro who is
charged with assaulting W. ID. Pin
nick on the night of Oct 20, was
held before Justice Berry on Mon
day forenoon. Jesse Forkner of
Columbus appeared for the defense
and County Attorney McNeill for
the prosecution.
Jones is an exceedingly hard
looking fellow and we believe that
a jury would convict him of almost
any crime without evidence of any
kind. Only a small portion of the
states evidence was adduced. in the
preliminary examination, but from
what we know of the testimony
held in reserve, which will be used
in the trial next month, we will ven-
ture the prediction that Jones runs
about as much show of acquittal as
a snow ball in hi has of not melt
ing.
Justice Berry bound Jones over
to the january term of the district
court In the sum of $1,000, and even
the professional bondsmen of Bax-
ter refused to help the culprit out.

AN DER TRUE TALE.

She was a modest looking girl,
With eyes of wi,ching brown,
And had laugh as silvery
As any in the town;
Alns, she had habit bad,
And somewhat wearisome,
No matter what the time or place,
OF always chewing gum.
When but maiden in her teens,
A pupil in the schools,
She cared not for the teacher stern,
Nor for his rigid rules;
She hid her face behind her book,
When she would "do sum-"
And figured faster when her jaw
Was busy chewing gum.
She played upon the piano well,
And played il soft aud loud,
And made sweet music for friends,
And for the cheering crowd;
Her time was always accurate,
Whene'er she made IL hum;
She kept ii with the motion of
Her jaw while chewing gum.
At last she had handsome beau,
Who loved her, strange to say,
And sought 10 win her for his own,
For months, day after day;
And when he asked her for her hand,
She simply said, yum, YUM"
And dropped her head upon his
breast,
And kept on chewing gum.
The winds may tire of blowing DER
The dreary, desert waste;
The rivers may get weary, too,
As to the sea they haste;
Unto those wagging, working jaws
Will no tired feeling GOMEZ
When death shall lay her In the
Will she keep on chewing gum7

Considerable is being said just
now, as there has been for several
years preceding the converting of
the Legislature, as to school books.
The question again under discus
sion is as to the state printing It's
own school books, as has Califor-
mia, and perhaps, one or two other
states who have tried the expert
ment. We have no definite know.
ledge as to what measure of salts.
faction is given, If any, by state
control and publication of school
books, but so far as we have
learned the system don't work as
we'll as by the old private enterprise
There is one thing we believe
ought to be adopted in Kansas for
economy if for nothing else, and
that is school district ownership
of text books. School districts
fur nish the school house the fix
lures, the blackboard, the globes,
maps ETC., ETC., and why not the text
book? II we are correctly in
formed, and we have taken pains to
investigate the subject, and our in.
formation comes from publishers
of text books, school district can
supply the school books, from sixty
to seventy-five per cent cheaper
than the patrons can. This OF it.
self ought to be sufficient in
ducement to adopt the system of
district ownership. Patrons of our
public school find the expense of
providing their children with
books, as great ne their taxes in
keeping mp the school, and in most
more. This burden, es-
when Il is double aud
the cost Il would be IL pro-
vided by the district, should be
stopped.-Columbus Courier.
