School Notes.

The public free school has begun
but the attendance is not what it
should be. 1t was thought best to
start with the free school, rather
than the pay school, SO that all
pupils might come and start with
their classes Those who miss two
or three months at the beginning,
cannot go in the grade they should,
and will have to go in the grade
below. Pupils who miss much will
have no chance to be promoted to
the next grade at the close of the
term.

Henry s.,,, In ev,seree.

Last week desert land filings
were made in the federal land
Office on 1000 acres Of land just
east OF La Junta and south Of
the line Of the Santa Fe route, in
township 23 and ~, range 81.
These filings have been made by
a number OF individuals Of whom
the principal is T. c. Henry, of
Denver, the prominent ditch
builder. The purpose of this
large number Of filings is to pro-
vide for the extension OF the Otero
canal, which runs for a number Of
miles along the south bank Of the
Arkansas river to La Junta. Not
only will the canal itself be extend
ed about ten miles in accordance
with the original survey, but the
irrigation district under the Otero
canal will also be increased. and
it is proposed to bring the greater
part of this large acreage under
irrigation, in order that farms may
be cultivated for the raising Of
sugar beets and other crops. Up
TO the present there has been but
little irrigation Of land east of La
Junta except in the region Of Las
Animas and in the vicinity Of the
valley about Lamar and Holly.

No. So Wise.

The attempt to give an exhibi-
ton OF "A Wise Woman" at the
La Junta Theatre, Monday night,
was just what one might have ex-
.pected. The play is made up OF
"a little of everything-except wis.,
dom and sense. 1t was devoid
9of plot. dramatic action or scenic
effect, being simply an efervescent
bubble full of hot air, which did
not even have energy enough to
explode, although the bubble
served to create an endless amount
Of confusion which kept everybody
On the stage jumping sideways.
The members OF the company are
capable and possess histrionic tai
ent, but in "a Wise Woman"
they are simply wasting their sub
stance on the desert air. The
singing of the leading lady was OF
a high order, and the one redeem
ing feature OF the play.

and then lay himself down beside
her, where the warmth Of his
body kept her from freezing to
death as efectually as fire
would. When the searching
party was heard approaching,
he started up and stood at bay,
and was shot where he stood.
There is really nothing more
strange in this than the we'll
authenticated stories for children
befriended by bears and wolves
in similar situations. 1t is, how
ever, essentially dramatic in its
climax. and to pessimist it
might seem that this is the his
tory of the wild animal in nut
shell. When let alone he is more
than likely to be mans best
friend, but he generally gets shot
for it in the end.

A young woman staying at one

for her as soon as she was missed,
of course, but the Adirondack
mountains are rather extensive

editors heart paipitate with JOY

the same was returned to us with

Now if the aforesaid Franklin had

LAW IS IN THE WAY
Statute Provides Against Putting
Fees Collected in Ones
Own Pocket.

If the doctrine upheld by Judge Gear
in connection with the fire claims case
is correct the Territory of Hawaii
would be poorer every year by Q. con-
siderable amount of money. variously
estimated at from $4,000 to 100000
Last year the amount of government
realizations" which is made up almost
entirely Of fees collected, but not es-
pecially authorized, amounted to $780,
s79. The year before the amount was
$50. 437 In addition to this every Gov
ernmental Department also turns in to
Treasurer Wright certain moneys
which are also collected for purposes
not especially authorized by law. Ac-
cordfng to the ruling of the second
Judge all that money should be retained
| by the clerk or employe who did the
work, for his personal use.
The amount credited to government
realizations' is made up in part from
the various offices which no statute
| specifically authorizes. In addition to
| the amount so noted a considerable por-
1
partment of Public Works is not au-
thorized directly by law. but the Sup
erintendent is empowered to make rules
and regulations for the supervision of
| his department. The fees for garbage
| collections are not specifically authoriz7
| ed by the legislature, but yet thou
saids of dollars are collected annually
| from that source. On the theory of
Judge Gear Captain Sam. Johnson.
| who superintends that bureau or the
man who directly does the work could
retain the money so charged. 1t is the
same way in regard to the sewer
| charges. The Department is authoriz-
ed to do certain work, but not speci-
| dcally to charge therefor. If fee is
| charged the money is paid into the
| treasury for the maintenance of the
department, but under the courts rul-
| ing, not the Territory but the individ-
uaI would be entitled thereto.
| The Civil Laws of 1897, Section 90,
| covers directly the point referred to
| by Judge Gear. 1t says: "All official
and departmental fees received under
| the provisions of this Code, shall be
accounted for and paid over into the
public treasury, except fees designat-
ed and intended to be applied in COM
pensation of the officers receiving the
| same. And no PUBIC oHncer III receipL
of a salary for his services shall re-
ceive any other or further compensa-
| ton therefor, unless specially allowed
| by law
| AS further safeguard the legislature
also provided for public accountants"
| including everyone IN the Territorial
| employe receiving any sum of money
| whatsoever, and these are required not
| later than the tenth of every month
to transmit to the Auditor, a return
| in the form contained in the first sched-
ule in this act, with such particulars
| in each case as may be required by the
Auditor, of all moneys collected or re-
ceived by him during the preceding
month"

CABIN BOY HELD
TO GRAND JURY
Oto Is Kept in Prison as a Wit
nessAConiradicii0ns OF
Tambara.

AS had been anticipated. Tanbara
Gisaburo was held by Commissioner
Gill Saturday to the October grand jury
without bond on the charge of muir
der There was little additional evil
| dence developed Saturday at the con-
clusion of the hearing. Tanbara went
on the stand on cross-examination but
he added nothing to the statement al
ready published, except to contradict
himself on several points. His chief
point of contradiction was in relation
to the disposition OF the knife, the de-
| PENDANT saying that he had forcibly
taken it away from the captain, that
fhe had been told to take the knife by
| the captain, and finally that the cook
/. had thrown the weapon overheard.
The boy further denied that the cap
tain had i'll treated him, fatty contra
| dieting Oto's story in that regard.
| Commissioner GIL held Tanbara TO
| the grand jury without bail and ex-
pressed HIS belief also that Otto was at
| least an accessory before the fact of
| the crime. The commissioners court
| is, however. tribunal OF limited juris-
diction, and the cook, Otto, was simply
held as witness, also without bail.
There have been no additional devel-
cpments in the murder case. Both Japs
are held in custody at Oahu prison, and
are not allowed to communicate with
each other. The grand jury will not
meet until October and then it Is prob
able that Oto's case will also be pre-
scented to that body.
Neither of the Japs. as far as known,
have been visited by the consul as yet,
though it is likely that fund VIII be
raised to make a defense, before the
trial. The discharges given the men
| by Mate Meyer OF the Fred J. Wood
were not fiattering as to character, and
even if be successfully gets out of this
scrape Oto will have difficulty In find
] ing a new berth.

DESERT HOMES FOR CARDS.
Scores of PennsyIvania Husbands
Want Law Which VIII Prevent
Playing for Prizes.

To such an extent has the vice of
gambling in the form of euchre for
prizes taken hold upon the women of
Beaver county, Pa, that the mer-
chants, professional men and many
OF the independents wealthy men of
the city have presented a petition to
Representative w. II. Bricker asking
that law be passed to make card
playing for prizes illegal.
The craze seems to have taken a
special hold upon the city Of Beaver
Falls, and, the leading men Of that
city calfsd en- masse on Justice Will
liam Piper and asked him to issue
warrants wholesale against the wom-
en- of the city. Nearly 400 names
were mentioned, many Of the COM
plainants naming their wives. They
affirmed that they were not able to
get their meals cooked, that the in
terest of the women in their homes
was dying out, while the clergymen
in the delegation affirmed that the
teachers in the Sunday schools wran-
,gled over questions of euchre instead
OF teaching their classes and debated
and discussed prizes-to-be under COW
er ct their hymn books.

STATEMENTS DON'T AGREE.
Goal Operators Report n Poor Year
While Mitchell Declares Figures
Show Otherwise,

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 8. - Debate
on the miners scale was resumed at
the conference of miners and opera
tors Saturday. President Mitchell re-
piled to the operators. Hereplied first
to Walter S. Boyle, who said that the
business of the operators had not been
as good during the last year, and that
prices had not been as high Mitchell
had some figures to disprove Boyle's
statements. He offered statistics show
ing the prices of coal and the produc-
ton for the last year. 1twasthe evil
dent purpose of Mitchell to fortify
himself, as he stated in both his an
nual address to the miners and his
opening remarks before the joint con-
ference, that the coal markets have
been better than ever.
After further arguments by miners
and operators it was announced that the
scale committee would meet in the hall
Immediately after the adjournment to
reorganize. On motion of H. w. lay
Tor, of Chicago, the conference was adj
journed.
The scale committee organized by
electing w. d. Ryan, miner, of Illinois,
chairman; r. S. Brooks, of Ohio. op-
orator, secretary; o. S. scroggs, of Illi-
nois. operator, assistant secretary. A
motion to adjourn until Monday morn
ing was adopted.
