G0,tafY URiJ03naIN in I.FGt
DoOh.s is It CHtcAy
DpkHSjOa,

Having allowed tne advocates
OF county uniformity in text
books the free use Of our columns
we wish to give the readers OF
the RECORD cur views upon that
question, '.-as ~
First, we wish to state that'we
favor anymeasure or movement
that will benefit'the educational
interests of our county anything
that will insure to the school
children of Sharp county advan-
tage3 they do not now possess.
We do not favor the adoption OF
county uniformity in text books
because we believe that, while
while the adoption of a universal
series Of school books may bene-
fit some, it will keep many more
children out of the public schools.
Uniformity is a delusion.
II the measure carries in Sharp
county a School Book Board will
be created consisting of two
teachers, appointed blythe State
Superintendent Of Public In
struction, two citizens, appointed
by the County Judge, and the
County Examiner, who is presi-
dent Of the Board. This Board
is to be in session not to exceed
ten days, and shall receive two
dollars a day for EACH member.
Of course the Board will be in
session the full time, which
means a cost to the county of
KS10Q. 1t is the duty Of this board
to meet at the county seat and
decide upon a series of books to
be used in each district OF the
county for period of six years,
and said Board may exercise its
own Judgment in the selection 81
the series. After entering into a
contract the company from which
the books are purchased shall
enter into bond for the faithful
performance Of their contract.
Thus we see how five men may
fasten upon the people set Of
books not satisfactory to half a
dozen districts in the county, fof
a period Of six years.
We have no idea who would
compose the School Book Board
should our county adopt uniform
ity, but we do know that no five
citizens Of Sharp county can
adopt a series Of text books that
will not cause many school pat
rons to buy new books out and
out. 1t is highly probable that
when the School Book Board
meets to adopt the series each
member will have his "pet"
book which he wants to introduce
into the schools. This is no time
to experiment. ..
We admit that school books at
present prices are too high, but
say that when the poor man who
is sending four, five or six chill.
dren to school has to discard the
books his children have hereto
fore used and buy a new set of
books for each child, he is going
TO swear at the men who voted
county uniformity. M
Some tell us if county uniform
ity carries The Book Companies
will exchanges new books for old
by the ''holder Of the old book
paying a small difference. We
have seen IL stated that in some
counties which last year voted
county uniformity no such thing
was doho, the companies claim
ing that the old books were too
badly damaged, soiled or some
thing else to be Of any value to
thom. County uniformity is not
benoGcialto the poor man, most
of all. The man who has not the
ready cash to meet the change is

FRED DELYLE BOUND
OYER FOR FORGERY,

Fred DeLyle. who is supposed to be one
OF a trio of clever forgers who flooded the
town with bogus checks some time ago,
and managed to victimize a number of
people, had his preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Harrington this afternoon
and for the third time was bound over to
the district court in the sum Of $500. De
Lyle, a youth named McKenty. who is in
the county Jail and is ready to turn states
evidence, and a man named O'Neil, who
escaped when the officers captured his
associates, constitute the trio. Their
method was to get employment for the
Mckenty, who would secure the forms
signature and acquire checks and other
necessary information, forge the checks.
while De Lyle and O'Neil would get the
money on the paper.
There are several charges Of forgery
against the men. On a previous charge
De Lyle was bound over, and was dis
charged by Judge Clancy on a technical
ity.
At today's hearing Delphis Giard tes-
titled that he cashed a check for De LYLE
and another man on April 20. The check
was for $25. and was signed by Major W..
Smith & Brother. When he presented
the check to the bank for payment It was
pronounced bogus.
Major Smith testified that the check in
question was not signed by him and thai
no one had authority to sign checks for
him.
No evidence was introduced on behalf
of DeLyle.

STABBER F0NTANA IS
HELD TO ANSWER,

The preliminary hearing in the case of
the state against John Fontana, charged
with having stabbed John Sivlon with a
miners candlestick o N the 2Sth of last
November was held in Justice Miller's
court at Meaderviile yesterday afternoon
and resulted in the defendant being bound
over to the district court to answer a
charge of assault in the first degree. Since
the assault was made Fontana has been
out on a 81 500 bond, and after the hear
ing yesterday the justice made it continu-
ous.cJ
The testimony showed that on the date
mentioned the two men met neal the
Butte & Boston smelter and Sivlon asked
Fontana how he stacked up" rs they
had previously not felt friendly towards
each other Fontana Told him it was none
of his BANKED business and jabbed the
candiestick into his left lung. DR.. Wells
patched Sivlon's wound up and Sivlon
suffered little inconvenience from the
stab.

AT SUIT MS.

The cut prices at Sutton's New theater
been the cause of adding many new
patrons to the new theater. Some come
no doubt out Of curiosity to ascertain If
they really do sell opera chairs at ten
cents and cho.ce reserved seats at twen-
ty-hve GEMS. The play and the players
seem to please them. at least one would
Judge so by the complimentary comments
heard o the lobby and on the streets.
1t does not seem in the bounds of possi-
bilities that a house like Sutton's New
theater coul. be run at the prices charg-
and give an entertainment as good
as the popular house is now presenting

The Great Northern inc other roads
nave been discussing for some time the
adv1sability Of the former withdrawing

statement is made that unless the rate is
it will precipitate a general

ment the st. Paul and Minneapolis

vance rates as soon as the Great North
ern consents to the proposition"
Inc st. Paul Dispatch, in speaking Of
the same matter, says:
II las been enormously stated that
the Northern Pacific is seeking to have
the Great Northern withdraw it's $25 col
onlst rate through to the coast. AS a
matter OF fact, the Great Northern has
long been laboring with the Northern pa
enc AND Soo-Pacific to have the latter
call of the rate. It was first put in last
spring by the Great Northern in face of
the protest of the Northern Pacific and
Soo-Paci1c. The latter subsequently
made the same rate. After a time the
Great Northern desired the rate with
draWn, but the 500 and Northern Pacific
had determined to give it a full dose of
It's own medicine, M the rate has con-
tlnued since. There is little probability
or the rate being withdrawn before
