Work of a Small Demogogue.

If the small bore who got up
that statement published in the
Democratic papers about the reIa-
tive amount of state school money
received during six years of Re
publican rule and Democratic rule
he ought to be bored for the SIM
pies. Whoever would put out
such an absurd statement either
lacks sense or he desires to mislead
by senseless argument. No state
school money has been received by
any county that has not first been
obtained from the people by the
process of taxation. What par
ticular virtue then, is there in
Democracy levying taxes for the
people to pay7 If $991,31O an
swered the purpose of the state in
the sixties and it requires six times
as much now, how does that prove
the Jefferson City ring to be vir-
tuous set of statcsmen4 As for
the schools, the people get what
they pay for, and Democracy is
not entitled to credit for a larger
tax levy. Anybody who ever took
a look at those gangsters could see
that they might be interested in a
brewery, but as for pushing
along the cause of education, that
has been done by the teachers and
people themselves and the politi-
clans are entitled to no credit for
it. The schools in every state are
as rule a non-partisan matter
and the more non-partisan they
are the more successful is the work

sters and buffers to try to make
capital out of the difference in
school conditions thirty years ago
and now is the smallest of small
bore work that one sees in politics.
Decent Democratic newspapers
ought to be ashamed to print the
rot. Those figures were gotten
up with no other purpose than to
mislead and it required a small
demagogue to think of them

We clip the following from the
Independent of last week:
Our republican friends started
to make great commotion about
a looted school fund. They en-
deavored to create the impression
that the democratic party had
stolen not only the school house,
but the lining of the safe and the
office fixtures. The following
table shows just how badly the
school fund has been looted.

Cloud Burst on Orchard Mesa.

The heavy clouds which overhung
this city last night were only the indi-
cations of the terrible storm which was
raging on the highest portion OF Orchard
Mesa. For many minutes there was a
continuous roll of thunder, which caused
many pers ons to believe that damage
was being done somewhere, but until
this morning no one knew just where
the storm spent Its fury.
Telephone messages from Orchard
Mesa today show that the residents OF
tnat delightful spot were the ones who
suffered from the effects of the rain. At
the home of j. V. Gesberg about three
miles out, there was not such great
amount of rain fell, but the effects Of
the storm in the hills was most
noticeable.
At Fred Barber's rauch four miles out
the cellars were filled with water, and
much Of it ran into the house. doing
damage to carpets and such furnishings.
Mrs James II. Smith described the
storm this morning to Sentinel repre-
sentative over the telet hone and from
what she said 1T must certainly have been
a heavy one.
about half an hour after the rain
fell so heavily here, said Mrs Smith,
I'VE were just thinking it over. when
suddenly there was roaring noise and
the water swept down the roadway in a
great volume, breaking the bitches, and
sweeping everything in it's path. In the
mass of water were great hail stones
which had collected and been washed
down with the water. Some OF the hail
stones we're very large, and there must
have been hard storm above us some
where. While have heard no one say
who saw the storm, that there was
cloudburst, yet there must have been
one on the upper mesa, in order to cause
80 much water to flow through the
roadway. In all the orchards there was
water staediDg to the depth of several
feet. Considerable damage was done to
the private pumping plants on the mesa
by the storm, and the Grand river rose
very rapidly"

ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLING
L. ". Dinsle is Arrested in Den
ver---Was Teller in First Nat
ionaI Bank at Aspen.

Il w. 4gle, teller In the First Nat
ional Bank at Aspen, WAS placed in the
Arapahoe county Jail early yesterday
on instructions from Sheriff Adams Of
Glenwood Springs, who said that Dingle
is short in his accounts. Sheriff Seerie
OF Arapahoe county received telephone
message from Sheriff Adams at o'clock
yesterday morning, requesting him to
place Dingle under arrest. Deputy
Sheriff Leonard De Lue was detailed on
the case and he found Dipgle at No. 40
East Twenty Eighth avenue about .
o'clock yesterday morning. The young
man was IN bed and he WAS ordered to
dress himself and accompany De Lue to
Jail.
From information received yesterday
it appears that experts have been at
work on Dingle's books for about week.
Ii is alleged that already they have
found a shortage Of $4,000. Dingle
left Aspen about two days ago, it is re-
ported from that city, coming to Den
yer, where his parents reside.
Gambling is alleged as the cause OF
Dingle's arrest and the assertions are
that he began his peculations about last
March l. He took small amounts at
first, it is said and lost the money at
the gaming tables and then took larger
amounts with which he attempted to
win the lost money back. Gradually
his shortage grew until it aggregated
thousands OF dollars. When the ex
posure came, it is said, the gamblers
gave back Sl5, 900 of the lost money to
the bank.
Dingle WAS under bond in a surety
company, his bond being $4,000, and
the company made good tie loss to the
bank. 1t is understood that Dingle's
arrest was caused by the surety com
pany. The matter WAS kept profound
secret until the arrest yesterday morn
ing
At tho county jail yesterday Dingle
would say nothing. He absolutely re-
fused to say whether he was employed
by the bank or how long he had been in
Denver. He said, how ever, that he had
an idea why he was in jail, but said he
would not talk about his case until he
understood thoroughly what the charges
were. He is about 25 years old, rather
short and slender with blonde hair and
blue eyes. He is Intelligent looking
and seemed not at all perturbed over his
Incarceration.

A Small Twister,

There was sort OF twister got lis
work in a few miles east OF this city last
night, according to several eye witnesses
who saw the damage done by the wind.
On the road leading to the old place Of
Charles w. Steele, east OF the Indian
school, quarter OF a mile south from
the main road, there stood big tree on
the property Of Luzerne Taylor. The
tree was planted about % years ago and
it grew to great strength and vigor. 1t
was the pride OF that section and no tree
was more symetrical iu its appearance.
Last night this big tree was lifted
from the ground almost by the roots by
whirlwind and thrown considerable
distance from where it originally stood
on the property Of Mr.. Taylor.
1t is evident that the wind storm
which carried this big tree away. must
have been the one that caused the dam
age on the mesa, crossing the river near
that point.
The people Of that section are sorry to
lose the big tree, as it was landmark
and had been there ever since G. W.
Steele came to this county.
