All right. You must entice Dolly down here I'll

to tiny chain around her neck, and opened it by a
spring
AS she looked into the face that smiled out at her

DE Quincy entered, after several knockings he found
her with her face buried in her arms on the desk
sobs shaking the graceful form. He pulled at the
lace sleeve

She gave startled little CRY and turned a tear wet
face toward the small intruder. Obi It's YOU

He stood with his brow wrinkled thinking hard
Then slowly, as if repeating we,ldried lesson he
began: Il want you to do something to make me very
happy. want it more than ever wanted anything

Gay pillows formed a soft for the readers

that he exclaimed Il sayl Are you a pirate?"
The man sat up with sudden start, nearly cap

the small boys presence. "Eh' Pirate?" he
peatcd with slow grin Why ye-esl How did

Reggie looked knowingly, and pointed to a pillow

thereon in white college relic
The man laughed. "A clever youngster," he

Mohler Returns

President A. l.. Mohler, of the
.. X. & N. returned last
week from the east, where he
was called On account Of the death
of his daughter. He was at his
Office only short time and
declined to be interviewed about
the railroad matters at present.
1t is expected that Mohler will
give his attention to the work of
letting the contracts for the con-
struction Of the lewiston Riparia
road as soon as his Office business
can be straighted up. Work on
this road is expected to commence
at an early date.
Considerable Improvement is
planned for the 0. r. g. N. for the
present year. Quite extensive i'm.
provements are to be made in the
way of replacing the light rails
with heavy one and ballasting the
poor sections of the road bed. =

Green Creek items.

The following correspondence
was received too late for pubiica-
tion last week.
Miss Minnie Westoff is staying
with the II. Uhlenkott family.
Mr.. Fred Rustmeyer sold a horse
to Mr.. Lutte for 500.
Anton Nuxoll recently purchased
an entire threshing outfit from his
brother for 81, 200.
When the news of the recent
robbery at Denver and the subse-
duent capture of the robbers reach
ed our peaceful city excit ement
ran high for awhile. Most of the
youthful miscreants were brought
up in this vicinity and were we'll
known through out this section of
the country, but as the FREE
Press very correctly put it, in a re-
cent issue, "their regulations were
anything else than good" The con-
fession of Asa Newell was received
with great satisfaction since the
mystery surrounding the daring
robbery at this place last winter
is now ended and everybody is
breathing more freely on account
of it.

Papa'S Bull Dog

"Papa's Bull Dog" is becoming
somewhat of a mystery,
but on April 1st and 2nd this laugh
able farce will be produced by local
talent, under the supervision of
Madam Okey, whose success in
other performances given here and
elsewhere, is well known through
out the country. 1t was under
stood when this piece was first an
nounced that it was for the bene-
fit of the Y. M. G. A. but such is
not the case. During the exciting
"yatch race between the Reds
and Blues, a considerable sum of
money was advanced by one of the
contestants on account of this per-
formance being postponed, and
the proceeds are to be used in re-
paying this sum. The excess will
be expended by the Amateur Dra-
matte club in purchasing manu-
scripts for future entertainments
which will take place from time to
time, the first being "a Texas
Steer"
The ladies appearing in the
chorus in Papa's Bull Dog are
Mrs. Okey, Mrs. Riggs, Misses
Moore, Schmadeka, Nickel, Tenn
pleton, Hobart and Lulu Nickel.

Okey Secures His Child.

! The Tribune of March II says:
A rumor Was in circulation yester-
day that little girl, placed by it's
mother in the care of the sisters of
the st. Aloysius academy, had been
kidnapped by its father, and that
it was probable an interesting law
suit would follow Investigation
disclosed that the child is the little
daughter of Mr.. j. f. Okey, recent
ly of Grant City, Mo-, and that he
had taken the child from the school
but by no unlawful means. Mr..
Okey, who resigned as postmaster
to come out west and establish "a
home, is a well known and influ-
entail citizen Of Grant City, Mo.
He will leave this morning for
Seattle with his child to reside.
When seen yesterday and question
ed regarding the kidnapping story
Mr.. Okey said:
'This is surely notoriety that
do not seek. A few months ago
my wife and baby came out west
and | was to join them here as soon
as l could adjust my business mat
ters at home. My wife went to
Moscow and thence to Grangeville.
A few days ago l reached Lewis
ton and endeavored to talk over
the phone with Mrs. Okey but
without success. l then went to
Grangeville and found the little
girl had been sent to Lewiston.
Mrs. Okey declined to meet me.
Upon my return here, l learned
that my little daughter was in the
school and 1 went to the academy.
The sisters explained that the lit
tie girl had reached the school Fri
day night on the stage from
Grangeville. She was accom-
panied by man named Frank
Bailey, who I learn travels for an
implement house. He had repre-
sented to the authorities at the
school that he was the little girls
uncle. He also made such false
representations to the parties on
the stage when travelling from
Grangeville to Lewiston. AS soon
as this disclosure came to me,
decided to take my daughter in
charge, which l did. This act was
surely not unlawful. If Bailey
can show he is entitled to the GUS
tody of the child, l would like to
meet him. This is the statement
desire to make regarding the

A Malicious FalSehood

In our Denver correspondence
last week an item appeared stating
that Mrs. Herman Won Burg had
attempted suicide. We wish to
brand the statement as false and
that the item was gross injustice
to the family, and from the devel-
opments we believe that our Dem
yer correspondent and ourselves
have been victimized by some ma
licious newsmonger. Any person
who would become so enfated with
malice and start story of that
kind is well deserving of a coat of
tar and feathers.

AN OMISSION.

Republicans have said much of the
omission of the financial plank in the
Democratic platform. But to those
who took time to read the address of
President Roosevelt delivered yester-
day at Oyster Bay in response to the
committee that notified him Of the
nomination, there is noticed a much
more %grievous omission. There is
much said about trusts, and gold stan
dard and Panama; Canal and Philip
pines and Cuba, but the reader looks
in vain for anything about the para
mount issue for which Mr.. Roosevelt
stands as a champion. Probably the
fact that the address was delivered
at Oyster Bay led the President to
be mum as an oyster on the race
question" Little did he talk about
negro equality, the force bill, and the
kindred topics which in former days
he delighted to talk. The Cuban race
and the Filipino race were not slight
ed, but the negro race gets not a
word. Why this omission? Can it be
that the executive is 10Y
converted to the fact that the Pres
idential race" is the paramount is
sue, and hat his Booker T. Washing
ION associations will not help him in
his race. The omission is too glar-
ing to pass by unnoticed. What does
it mean?
