Leathwood made a rush at the strang-

at such a suggestion. Gilbert Kicker

Nugent ~I.eathwood heard a faint
sound. as OF someone moving near him:
stretched out his hand again and
touched only the blank wall. Shaken
and terrified beyond measure, he skunk
away down the corridor to the room ne
had left, opened the door and plunged
into 1T; Cornelius still lay asleep, with
his mead on the table.
Nugent Leathwood hurried across the
room TO him and shook him to his feet.
Come out. come QUIT" he cried. Il
won't stay in this house another min
ute; I've had enough of it. Come out

The old man staggered to his feet.
blinked his eyes at the light, and strove
to moisten his lips with his tongue. MI
gent Leathwod got him by the arm, and
took him out and down the stairs;
slipped the bolt at the back door and
passed with him out into the night. The
chill gray dawn was coming up-a mere
faint streak--over the housetops.
You're In a mighty 'urry," grumbled
Cornelius, shaking himself and pulling
his coat collar about his ears. What's
the matter now?"
az don't know-I'ye lost touch OF

ct wonder if this man knows the secret
too?' He puzzled about 1t for some
time. and at last there flashed upon him
a most illuminating suggestion. He
stopped In the street and faced Corne-
Illus. and gave voice to II in a startled
whisper:

REPLY MADE TO COLOMBIA.
Adjustment Of Differences Expected
Soon.

Soon.
Washington, Oct. 29.-It was
learned yesterday that a prompt an.
swer had been made by the state de-
partment 10 the latest Colombian
note respecting the Panama canal
treaty, which was transmitted to the
department Monday. It's nature was
not divulged, but She presumption is
that it deals almost entirely with
Colombian representations regarding
the sovereignty CT the istnmus, which
the Colombians feel has been seri'
ously invaded by the acts OF Com
mander Mclean and Admiral Casey
in preventing the prompt movement
Of troops across the railroad. This
matter. as before stated, is now the
subject If no@- tiation1 between the
Colombian government and Minister
Hart, at Be- cla and an early adjus:.
ment is looked for.
The state department is anxious
that a speedy settlement be reached
in order to facilitate the completion
Of the Panama canal treaty. Mr.
Concha, the Colombian minister, has
received ample and specific instruc-
tons empowering him to proceed N
this matter, which has been retarded
only by the controversy which has
arisen regarding the transit Of the

Again 1t Marked Stock Market Pro-
ceedings, Yesterday.

New York, Oct 29.-ln no import
ant particular did yesterdays stock
market differ from any of the pre-.
ceding fortnight There was the
same all around dullness and apathy
and the little business transacted was
almost wholly professional.
Quotations at the opening were
fractionally lower and without sig
niicance. The early movements in
cluded an apparently active demand
for Texas and Pacific and st. Louis
and San Francisco issues, a moderate
advance in st. Paul and Sault Ste
Marie, and an initial loss of more
than l per cent in Louisville and
Nashville. Later the list hardened
and prices advanced quite generally
The market held fairly steady under
its rally, being assisted in part by
short coverings, but attempts to re.
alize On the advance, notably in ST
Louis and San Francisco. were un.
successful, these issues closing lower
than on the previous day. One of the
features of the afternoon, which was
otherwise quite dull, was the activity
in Sugar. 1t was extensively pur.
chased for Boston account, but the
stock closed at net loss.
More or less uniform strength was
shown during the day by such stocks
as Texas and Pacific, Minneapolis,
St Paul and Soult Ste Marie com
mon and preferred, Baltimore and
Ohio, Missouri Pacific, Cotton Oil and
Virginia Carolina Chemical The
closing was firm.

I have been watching with no
little intesest the articles which
have appeared from time to time In
the Review relative to reforming
matters In political circles In Tyler
county.
l am sure Republican" has
handled the Bright and Morning
Star, to the satisfaction of all reform
sympathizers.
I am Republican and as such
have always voted that ticket. But
as one has recently said, "a thing
cannot be Republican and unfair"
therefore 1t must be apparent to all
thinking people that In the main
there Is no Republican ticket In
the field In Tyler county
A Republican form of govern
ment Is a government II the hands
of the the people.
I have not a word to say In oppo.
sition to such men as Carrigan, Hill
or Mayfeld but who would dare
say that the nomination of some of
those who appear on the county
ticket was not dictated by the
despotic "bosses" and accomplished
through fraud and bad whiskey
Some of this gang have not hest
tated to perpetrate fraud. no mat
ter how grevious the wrong i'm
posed.
Do the bosses think that they
may continue to name men who
have betrayed the trust reposed In
them and who are distasteful to all
decent people and as slaves we are
Obliged to vote for them?
It does not matter what they
may think the time has come with
all thinking people when forbear-
ance ceases to be a virtue.
We are rising as republicans to
repudiate the wrongs imposed
upon US In the conventions held
last May under the name of IRE.

time the name of Abraham Lin.
coin was disgraced and the Ameri
can flag trailed In the dust.
Men, who had stood all of their
lives by Republican principles,
whose fathers offered themselves
as targets to save the flag and pre-
serve the Union, were turned
down through fraud and political
chicanery to make place for politi-
clans and pets without regards to
their fitness
Yet the men who have done all
OF this and more too, are asking us
to vote the ticket for party sake.
The shades of Julias Caesar de-
liver us Why didn't these same
fellows vote for Armstrong Weekly
Tor party" sake" or tor A. L.
Hughes, when a u. S. senator was
at stake?
Boys, be steady, we have them
all along the line and the end Is
near.
Be fortified against all snares;
rotten and questionable plans will
be used bv them.
One fellow has said that he could
wait until the eve before the cleo
ton and buy us back for a dollar
apiece, but he aud his clique will
find 1t differently; the reform ele-
ment can not be reached by money
or whiskey, if they could they
would have been reached long ago.
But l would sound a word of
warning to my fellow Republicans
who put honor above party; you
may expect anything mean and
contemplate from men who will
try by such questionable methods
to thwart the choice of the people.
In conclusion, a word to the
Bosses" When you ask the peo-
pie to vote for Underwood whose
services have not given satisfaction
to the people, all for party sake"
pray tell them why you have tried

EDITOR
OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN EDUCATOR
ON THE SCHOOL SYSTEM OF
STATE OF WYOMING.
Percentage Of IIIiteracy Lower and
Amount Expended in Buildings.
Libraries and General Improve
ments Higher Than Any State in
Union, Population Considered.

Editor Fred Dick of the Rocky Noun,
tain Educator at Denver has the fol
lowing in the November number of that
splendid publication, called the Wyo-
ming edition Extended notice was
given the publication in yesterdays
issue of The Republican Mr.. Dick
says:
How much attention has been paid
to educational matters in the young
and growing state of Wyoming may be
learned from the following facts illus
trating the states educational re-
sources at time of last report. No 9th.
er state of its population shows a low
er percentage of illiteracy or a larger
amount expended in buildings, libra
ries and general improvements. Wyo-
ming has 754 schools and 3S1 school
buildings; there are IS high schools
in the state and a university which
ranks high among educational institu-
tons anywhere. Six hundred and
twenty teachers are employed to teach
the 15.I6i school children of the state.
The average compensation of teachers
per month is $i3.36 for female teach
ers and s73.6S per month for male
teachers.
The state possesses some very hand
some school buildings. which will
cOmpare fayOrably with those erected
in older and Weather communities;
the country school houses are neat
and substantial; a picture of a repre-
sentative temple of learning on the
Wyoming prairies is shown on a pre-
ceeding page. The cost of the various
school buildings up to this date has
been s453 .6O7.45. There are 1920
volumesSh the various school libraries
and these are being constantly added
to by the efforts of teachers and pupils.
The outstanding bonded Indebtedness
is 1886. S64 for all the various school
districts.
Wyoming has also produced some
educators of high rank and ability: in
fact, all her city and town schools are
presided over by men of high standing
in their profession. The future of the
Wyoming schools is bright. and her
educational record will keep pace with
all other lines of natural. Industrial
and commercial advancement.
