and unremitting and has resulted in
two Of the Gingles brothers being sent
to the penitentiary on charges of rob-
berry and counterfeiting. the capture
Of another brother, who is in jail at
Yakima. and the death Of Jack Gingles.
1t is soon expected another brother
will be under arrest, and a pal, as one
of trio Of burglars, is also in jail.
From the moment the door was bro.
ken in up to his death the bandit utter
ed no word. Awakened from sleep and
with the dim light only to show him
what had happened, he was in possess
sion of his senses instantly. and the
only thing that saved one or more
wounds for the officers was the fact
that Gingles shot from below, while
laying on his back or side. The bullets
went over the heads of the deputies
and entered the ceiling.
The entire affair did not consume
over five minutes from the time the
officers reached the cabin door until
Gingles was dead.
An examination at the cabin reveal
ed that Gingles was prepared for a
deadly fight He had received letter
from certain persons warning him that
the officers were close on his trail and
advising him to get out Of the country.
This he had arranged to do as soon
as he had corded the wood he cut for
Brown.
That he was aware of his danger was
shown by his buying a quantity of am
munition and having his rifle and re-
volver ready at hand. Alongside of the
bed, or trunk, in the cabin was Win
chester 5000 containing nine cart
ridges. Around his waist, underneath
his nightshirt and over his under
clothing, was strapped a cartridge belt
filled with rife and revolver cartridges
and in the holster, which evidently was
strapped across his stomach handy to
reach, was a long 80 caliber Colts on
Al frame.
Gingles is said to have been 35 years
of age. He was five feet nine or 1C
inches in height, with dark hair and a
light brown moustache. thin featured
with heavy, coarse black eyebrows, yet
withal fairly good looking and respect
able in appearance.
For IS years past the Gingles broth
ers have been source of terror in
parts of Washington and Oregon
where they have long been known as
bad men, ready to steal or shoot al
every opportunity

SCHOOL DRESS RIVALRY.
Omaha Seniors Divided on Question
of Uniform Graduating Garb.


Glass uniform for the graduates of
the Omaha (Neb) High school is
question that is agitating the seniors
of 1904. says the Omaha World Herald
In this idea the young men and young
women who compose the class have an
opportunity that they may well i'm
prove. There are 1875 pupils in the
graduating class this year, and every
girl and perhaps every boy is now con-
sidering the question of clothes for
that important occasion. Some belong
to families Of luxury and wealth. while
others, just as bright and intelligent as
the rest, belong to families where the
appropriation for clothing is just as
small as necessity will permit.
Instances of the sacrifices of mem
bers of families that the daughter
might be attired in beautiful gown
on commencement day have been often
cited to show the folly of dress rivalry
on such an occasion. That the young
man and young woman have success
fully met the requirements Of the
schools of Omaha. have climbed to the
top through the various grades, have,
by their conscientious efforts, become
entitled to the possession of the d.
ploma-these are the real triumphs Of
the high school senior. That the pres
entation Of these diplomas should be
accompanied by rivalry in dress pa
rade for the exultation Of some, and
perhaps the humiliation of others, Is
not in harmony with the high school
commencement idea.
Principal Warehouse and the men,
bers of the class of 1904 who favor
the adoption Of a uniform dress for
commencement are eminently correct,
and it is to be hoped that the effort
in this direction will be made unanl-
nous by the boys and girls and the
fathers and mothers who are interest
ed. The class of 1904 should seize the
opportunity and establish precedent in
class uniform.

Pumfce From Russia,

The mineral wealth of Russia Is
hardly appreciated, and new industries
are from time to time being develop
ed, though the effect of the present wal
may be felt in many new schemes
says Harper's Weekly. A recent prop
osition is the development of the
pumce stone, which has been found
in the provinces of Erivan and kars
in Transcaucasia. The deposits liz
Kars, at Malayakutma, are near the
surface in horizontal strata and occa'
sionally run over two and half feet
thick, furnishing high grade mineral
that is used for polishing and poorer
quality from which hydraulic cement
can be made The material is con.
venient to Kars, from which place 1t
will be shipped by rail to Poti, on the
Black sea, and thence conveyed by
steamer to Odessa. When the works
are operating to their full capacity
several million pounds a year Of the
material will be produced. The worlds
supply of pumice is now largely deriv-
ed from the Lipari islands, near Sicily.

ANTISPOONING SOCIETY.
Kisses Rated at - Each at Cornell
UniVersfty.

An "antispooning society" is the lat
est creation of the women of Cornell
university at Ithaca, says the New
York World. The new coed organiza-
ton aims to discipline the Cornell men
and to teach them the rights of CO.
ed The provisions of the bylaws
provide for system of fines for vio-
lations of the principles of the society.
If Cornell man calls at Sage col
lege-the dormitory where the goods
live-the girl whom he asks for is fined
rs cents. If she permits him to see
her the punishment is increased to 80
cents. The next step Is that from
which the society derives its name,
for if she Is caught "spooning" with
her caller the fine is doubled and
amounts to 81. If she should be so
indiscreet as to allow him to kiss her
and so unskillful as to not conceal
that happening an underlined bylaw
provides for fine Of 81.
There are many quiet forest walks
about the Cornell campus, and for en-
joying one of these with Cornell
man the unhappy member of the anti
spocning society is fined 81. For a
