An Open Letter


To the Tempe rance workers OF
Montgomery County;
Bro. Smith aud | went to Dam
vile and Investigated the propricty
OF presenting the petition for the
Local Option election to the county
court. We found we had every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
by delaying u petition one
month. Montgomery City council
had ordered u census taken so as
TO determine whether or not II
must vote with the rest of the
county. A delay will determine
the basis OF the fight. We are
sure that good people are not going
to suffer the liquor men to ruin
the business of the town by
''queering'' them with the strong
temperance sentiment to the north
and east Of the town not to speak
OF that to the south and west.
The census will be subject to
review and II will be reviewed.
Our plans are laid for the whole
campai yn, and while We 10 not
deem II wise to announce them at
this time, we want to assure the
workers we are only taking n step
that was forcsccn from the be-
ginning and let them know that
We are neither dead nor asleep.
Letters have been writtcn the
workers who have the original
petitions in hand and II they do
not sec you, look them up and
sign the petition.
Thcosc who have petitions are
Middletown, Rev. c. p. L%ovelacc;
Walnut Grove, i. |. Heaton; Brush
Creek, j. u. Rodgers; Bellnower,
VIM. Hoss; Prohibition, Cort
Stewart; Wcllsville, j. Is. White
and I. T.. Middleton; Joncsburg,
Rev. j. S. Bowlcs; Big Spring,
Rev. j. L. T~uschofi; and there are
petitions at Mincola, Americas,
Rhincland and several scattered
at various places throughout the
county.
The financial committee are Rev.
I. NJ. Green, Montgomery City;

Among the laws which our
county democratic nominee for
representative, A. IL. Drunert, says
he will favor II elected to the leg
lslature, will be one to compel the
white and black people OF Missou-
RI to ride In separate passenger
cars. The TRIBUNE certainly feels
sorry for any man claiming INTEL
ligcncc sufficient to qualify him
for member Of a state Legislature,
who has no higher ambitions as
a law maker than to try to pass
laws intended to Cypress in any
manner persons Of perhaps equal
and superior intelligence and NOR
al character than himself, simply
because God, for variety sake i,
made thcm black and him white.-
Missouri has had enough Of such
fool law making in the past thirty
years, but II seems that all Of its
would-be law makers Of that class
are not dead yet.

The Mexico Ledger publishes a
card from F. r. Jesse giving his
reasons for Withdrawing from the

out OF the rae the democrats OF
this county will cordially support

is a splendid gentleman andi an
able lawyer.-Ledger.

County Democratic Primaries.

The results Of the democratic pri-
mary elections held in this county
last Saturday, has cast a gloom
v the party which only time
can assuage and heal over. Time
Is a well known healer Of even po-
litical disappointmcnts, but from
outward appearances the demo-
Gratis OF Montgomery county have
run the old man up against a bad
proposition this time. Leading
members OF the party say they have
now the weakest ticket they have
nominated in many years. They
say their only hopes for anything
Ii 10 hurrah for Folk and the stra-
light ticket. Many of the old lead
ers Of the party have been turned
down severely, and..relcgated to the
rear. The campaign has been an
expensive n to most of them,
while the nominees see before
them six months more Of expense,
campaigning and perhaps defeat.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
SENT HOME
With SORE LYES

The Government Dispensary Is be-
sieged these days by boys and girls
sent from the public schools by their
teachers to have their eyes treated for
what is diagnosed in many cases as
trachoma. Seventeen children pre-.
scented themselves at the dispensary
this morning. Nine of these were
treated and the rest were told to re.
turn in the afternoon.
Inquiry at the Department OF Edu'
cation disclosed the fact that this
eye disease, whether or not It Is ira
choma, is not necessarily established
in every case, is just now somewhat
prevalent and has been on the increase
in the last few days. When teachers
discover children thus afflicted they
send them home to remain until cured
Thirty-two cases have SO far been Of
ficially noted.

COURT scoLDs COUNSEL.

During the hearing Of the Pang Kau
matter before Judge Gear today the
court found II necessary to pass a few
in reference to the side con.
of attorneys engaged In the
case. The court noted the fact that
counsel altogether too frequently said
things during a trial which might tend
TO prejudice the jury, things which
they had no business TO say; they also
occasionally exchanged endearing ep-
ithets; this was not correct and would
not be tolerated.; in the future the
court would deal firmly with any such
departure from the strict path of vir.
tue; contempt of court was often close
ly approached by the actions con.
demned.
Pang Kau has been on trial for four
days. He is charged with assaulting a
little Chinese girl in fiendish manner.
A. G. NJ. Robertson for defense and Il.
A. Douthitt prosecuting. Defense
claims the prosecution is nothing less
than a scheme for vengeance on the
part Of the girls father.

CLERK DOW MAKES
STATEMENT
REGARDING BAIL

II. NJ. Dow this morning made the
following statement regarding the
handling of the bail money in the High
Sheriff's Office which he was alleged to
have embezZled:
THE money deposited as bail was up
till some years ago kept in a box in
the receiving station. No account
whatever was ever kept Of II. In con.
sequence OF a dispute which arose
about IL High Sheriff Brown requested
me to look after the bail money. For
my own private guidance in this mat
received a sum OF this money and
check II off when paid 1t out The en-.
tire matter was considered private
affair. Auditors, experts and others
who had occasion TO examine the books
of this were tcld so by me and agreed
with me.
81 used to borrow money from pri.
vate sources In order TO accommodate
the men of the force with loans. How
ever, at times when It was inconvenient
for me at the moment to procure
money from the outside I would take
the cash for the loan from the bail
money. | was. however, always Ger.
tain that ! could in a minute put my
hand on money to pay the bail money
should ii he called for. | simply had
to step out and get the money. 1t took
me no longer than II had gone to the
bank. The High Sheriff gave me Gus
tody Of the bail money without attach
ing any strings to It and trusting to my
honesty. I have always been able to
pay any call for refunded bail as soon
rs the demand was made"

the legs of the jinkrikisha men, they seem to be incapable Of fatigue. The girls who eoaled one steamer were ap- ,parently fresh and vigorous when they finished their work. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and they all went ashore in the fleet of sampans, laughing and chattering as if they had been having an enjoyable lark.
 | I was surprised to notice that they succeeded in keeping themselves fairly clean. The passing of coal, in flexible, loosely Dlaited straw baskets is dirty work, and men who engage in it soon get to look like chimney sweeps. Not so the Japanese girls. Their dresses were made Of dark blue cotton, which did not seem to retain or show coal dust; the white dust: the white ker- chiefs or towels in which they wrapped up their hair were protected by circles of coarse woven straw. bent down over their ears so as to make sort of A shaped thateh, and every girl carried somewhere, in pocket, a piece of cot ton cloth with which, when necessary, she carefully wiped way precipitation in such manner as not to besmirch her face.
 Their hands and bare forearms, of course, were blackened; but even after four or five hours of basket tossing, their faces, as a rule, were clean.- George Kennan in the Outlook.

 Although California is the land of flowers to which snowballing, except in the mountains, generally is forbidden, exceptions to the rule may be com pelled. Such an exception, during the past winter, or rainy season. was wit messed in San Jose One of the stage drivers to and from Nit. Hamilton brought from there a barrel packed with snow, and presented it to the pupils of the Grant School in the Gar den City. Then the fun began.
 Most. of the children had not seen snow before except in the distant mountain summits. They wanted to snowball, but they didn't know how, and they approached the problem ten tatively. And-here is the crowning absurdity of the situation-some of their teachers didn't konw how to teach them; although they were adults, never be.ore had they come in contact with snow. Some of the little chaps, after cautions investigation declared that the strange white stuff burned their fingers, it was so hot. and others, who had read or been told about it, feared that their hands would be frozen by the first contact with it.
 The experimental stage soon was passed however, and then the fun was fast and furious. It was such ecstasy as Eastern children known, with the zest of novelty added to it. For brief { time school traditions and the proprie- ties maintained between teacher and pupils were thrown to the winds and there was none so high or so low that a snowball might not batter him least ex- pected. The white missiles Whizzed through bushes laden with roses or clipped the stately calla lilies from their stems as a knife might have done. It was a touch of winter introduced into a garden of bloom and beauty. and ah, but the boys, big and little, enjoyed it.
 For all of which some sort of rever- ence might be done to the Mt. Hamilton stage driver-fe has not forgotten that he once was boy.-Sunset.

CRUISER TOOK HIS EGGS.
Lighthouse Keeper Explains Why He
 Flew Signal of Distress.


 Because of the anxiety of a light house keeper to market his eggs, the dignity of the Dominion Government of Canada has received a severe jar,' said Fl. J. Fitzpatrick of Vancouver yester- day. The offending keeper is the one who tends tn eight on Egg Is1andr-a well-named isle-in the Gulf of Georgia. Tt is a lonely spot, wind swept and dreary, but behind his lighthouse the keeper has little plot of ground where he raises chickens, with no fear of mar .auding neighbors. Recently the steam Ter Princess May passed there during a bowling gale and reported distress signal flying. Owing to the weather it was impossible to land to carry succor to the supposed distressed keeper.

Captain Robert F. Lee is compiling a volume of "Recollections and Letters of General Lee" The letters are chiefly Ito members of the generals family,
 The .'recollections,' it is said, show Lee
 as a living parsonage, kindly husband and father, an ideal commander, who is not downcast by defeat or unduly
 elated by victory. The book is said to show how great an influence General Lee exerted to reconcile the southern CTS to the consequence of their defeat. The epistles are said to be more inter- esting even than Captain Lees biogra- phy of his father or the generals own modest account of his career. The vol
 ume will contain among it's illustra- tions four photogravure portraits. It will bear the imprint of Doubleday Page and Company. 2 Doubleday, Page and Company have
 in preparation a new volume of verses by Howard Weedon, author of 'Ban-
 Danna Ballads It is entitled Old
 Voices" and has been in the hands of Miss Weedon for the past two years. Like her earlier books, this will portray and describe the old south. It will be larger volume than the others, and will be deliberately decorated by Cora
 Parker. The author has provided DOT traits.
