!; In his monograph prepared for the
educational exhibit Of the United States
at the Paris exposition Prof. Nicholas
Murray Butler feels called upon to JUS
tify the multiplicity of small colleges
which is often the subject Of foreign
criticism. There are 472, and he ad-
mits that the number is enoromus and
that many are small and weak and ILL
endowed, and that the criticisms
against the existence Of many are jus.
titled Yet he says it should not be for
gotten that almost any college exerts
a helpful influence upon the life of it's
locality. The fact is frequently over
looked that all American colleges de-
5end for their student attendance in
large meaaure upon the residents Of
thei; own immediate neighborhood.
Few draw from the nation at large.
and even in these few the greater lum-
ber Of the students are from within the
institutions own State or the limits Of
their own section of the country. For
example. of the 27,956 students attend
Ing colleges ip IL North Atlantic diyi-
sion Of the United States 26,393 or
04.41 per cent, are residents Of the
States included In that divi ion. OF
the $500 students in the colleges Of
Massachusetts $500 are residents of
the State and 1887 per cent. are resi-
dents Of the North Atlantic division.
The colleges in Oregon draw 99.S7 per
cent. Of their students from the Pacific
coast and $500 come from the State. 1t
Is safe to assume that most of these
students would have to do without q
collegiate education were it not for the
small colleges In Oregon. The report
Of the University Of Michigan excel
lently illustrates the truth Of DR.. But

HOLD-UPs AT WORK.
FOOtpzds Frustrated In an AttemPt &C
Rob n. P 8IatIOeE, q Railroad Nan,
wednesday night

As n. P. Matlock, Rock Island con-
ductor, was on his way home about
1910 O'Clock Wednesday night he was
ordered to throw up his hands when
within about 80 yards Of his home by
two men who had been concealed In a
path Of weeds. Instead Of complying
with the demand he made a break for
his home, and the fOOtpads, seeing that
their plans had failed, started on a run
toward the railroad Mr.. MatlOck ran
into the house and got his revolver
and started after the men, and coming
up near them he fred two shots at the
Hould-be hold-ups and got two In re-
turn, but none took effect. The foot
pads soon outfOoted their persuer, and
firing a couple Of more shots Mr.. Mat
lock abandoned the chase. He then
went and got Deputy Sheriff Jewell
and together they made search in the
railroad yards for the men, but could
find no trace Of them.
Mr. MaflOck says one Of the men was
large and wore a light hat.

Captured 4 HORSE THIEF.
The Other Thief Escaped in the
Darkness and Is Still at Large.
One OF the Two Men who Stole . Horse
From ". A. BOEEs September Is
Captured Near sefberE By
Colorado OmcsrH-

The proverb along runs the thief
but IS caught at last" should be chang
ed to ashort runs the thief" whenever
the ofense is committed In Sherman
county.
One Of the two men who, it is sup
posed, stole a horse from the pasture
Of ". A. Boggs, who lives eleven
miles southeast Of GOodland, was cap
tured near Seibert, Col, last Thursday
evening by Sheriff Rogers and Deputy
Sheriff Bert Hendricks, Of Kit Carson
county.
As told in The Republic Of last week
the stolen mare was found at Seibert
where the men had sold her to a ranch
man, and that the officers were hot on
their trail The sheriff and deputy
came upon the thieves about dusk a
few miles southwest Of Seibert, where
they had camped for the night. They
we're ordered TO throw up their hands
but only one complied, the other broke
and run and escaped into some brush
and disappeared in the darkness. Sew
eraI shots were fired at the fleeing man
by the officers but none seemed to
take effect.
Sheriff Walker and Fred Dawson
went out and brought the man who
gave up back to GoodIand, arriving
Friday morning and he was lodged in
Jail He consented to return to Kansas
without requisition papers.
He was arraigned before Justice Cal
vert for a preliminary hearing Monday
and gave his name as John Wilson,
but owing to the absence Of Deputy
Sheriff Hendricks, witness for the
state, the hearing was postponed until
Monday of next week.
Mr.. Boggs went with the sheriff to
Seibert to get his horse. He arrived
in GOOdland Saturday afternoon with
the animal Mr.. Boggs offered a re-
ward Of So for the return of the horse
and Sheriff Walker added an addition
al So for the capture Of the thieves.
The money viii be paid to the Colo
RADIO officers.
The men we're driving through the
country in a single rig, which is now
in possession Of Sheriff Rogers at Bur
lingtOn, but even this seems to be no
inducement for the other thief to re-
turn No trace Of him has yet been
found, but search is still being made
for him.

Sunday morning dawned cold and

choosing to remain indoors by a fire.

.BEE HIVE" SOLD.
J. V. seeIy Transfers the stock to h A.
Bowman, Of Lincoln, Nebraska, Who
VIII Continue the Business

Tuesday the "Bee Hive" store chang
ed hands, passing from J. V. SeeIy to
H A. Bowman, a travelling salesman
for Granger Bros, wholesale grocers,
Of Lincoln, Neb. The purchase price
was $500. Mr.. Bowman viii give up
his position with Granger Bros. and
devote his energies to this new venture.
He has had many years experience in
the mercantile world and appears to
have the right sort of push. He has
already ordered several new lines Of
goods and intends to make the Bee
Hive an up to date store.
The day following the transfer Mr..
Bowman was served with a garnishee
summons gotten out by r. A. Kent,
whom Mr.. Seely still owes 1854 on the
purchase Of the store which he bought
Of Mr.. Kent about a year ago, an action
for debt now pending in the district
court against Mr.. SeeIy, who refused
to pay the balance, claiming that Kent
had violated part Of his contract in the
transfer.
However that may be, Mr.. Bowman
says it was a legitimate purchase on
his part, and that he knows nothing Of
the business dealings between Seely
and Kent, and that he did not assume
any Of SeeIy's obligations.

A CoWARDLY ASSAULT.
Eric Owen BrutaIIy Beaten By TOuEhs
At St Francis Last saturday-He
Rscefved = Broken Jaw.

1t is reported that Eric Owen was
badly beaten at st. Francis Saturday
by two Sawyer boys Of Jaqua. His jaw
was broken and he received other bad
injuries. Mr.. Owen was taken to a
neighbours house near Jaqua, where he
is now being attended.
Eric has had trouble before with the
parties, whose claim he contested sew
eral years ago near Jaqua. His house
has been broken into a number Of
times when he was away, things being
torn up and destroyed, and a short
time ago his barn was burned and his
house torn down. These acts Of van
dalism, it is thought, we're committed
by the same parties that made the as
sault on Mr.. Owen last Saturday.
Tt was certainly a cOwardly assault,
as Mr.. Owen is a small man and Of
peaceabIe disposition. He has lived in
GoOdland most Of the time for the past
ten years working at the timers trade
in both the Hess and Book hardware
stores.
It has not been learned as to whether
the men who committed the assault
have been arrested or not.

THE CARE OF LEPERs.

In some respects these Islands have a
good precautionary system against the
spread of leprosy but In others they
are wanting I'm the simplest and most
primary safeguards.
Special Agent of the Postoffice De-
partment Flint believes that the germs
of leprosy may be spread through the
correspondence which the lepers at
Kalaupapa are permitted to carry on
with their friends throughout the
group. A person reeking with disease
sits down, writes a letter and seals it
with the moisture of the tongue, adj
dresses it and entrusts il to the mail
bag. Thousands of bacilli go with 1t
and who can tell what deadly work
they may do? This is a system which
ought to be ended and Mr.. Flint hopes
to end it by providing the Molokai set
tlement with an amanuensis.
There is another abuse relating to
the lepers Of which the Board of
Health has never made a sufficient ex-
cuse. When the last load of lepers
went from Kalihi the poor creatures
were followed to the wharf by their
friends and there they embraced and
hASSeu Until the httptES ndu 10 separate
them. How many microbes passed
from the victims of the scaly plague to
people as yet clean, no man can tell.
But the conditions of infection must
have been perfect.
II Is severe to give the lepers no
chance for leave-taking but 1t is the
only safe way. There should be no
contact between the leper and the nom
leper. The public health demands that
the rule be made.
An exclusive leper steamer is needed.
We believe that the plague-patients
are no longer carried on passenger YES
sells. but they are not wanted even on
freight packets. There should be a
steamer for Kalaupapa traffic only.
The charge is made by those who
want TO abolish segregation that the
system has not abated the white plague
In the least; that there is as much
leprosy in proportion to the whole
number OF inhabitants as there ever
was. III this is true ii simply means
that the rules of segregation are too
lax.

william Waldorf Astor. cut by the

this accredited kind are common in
London and Mr.. Astor had no reason
to complain OF the usage. People

and was followed by a further affront
In Mr.. Astor's newspaper. British So

OF CURRENT INTEREST.


A recent visitor to Constantinople
reports one custom Of the Turks which
causes a vast deal of trouble and con-
fusion. This is the Turkish system of
reckoning time. A Turk holds that the
day begins exactly at sunset; at that
time he sets his clocks and watches at
the hour of u. AS the sun has the same
habits in presiding over Turkey that
ne exercises with regard to other To-
calities. it may easily be seen that this
system of reckoning time necessitates
setting the clocks every day. 1t ap-
pears that a watch which would run for
weeks without losing or gaining a min
