Some nice lots in east end town
for sale. w. ARTHUR SHARP.
Niedrlnghaus Wins.

T. X. Niedringhaus is to go to
the United States Senate from
Missouri. The investigating COM
mittee in the Legislature. by major
ity reports, eXhOnelated him.
The Cole Co. Democrat gives
some of the testimony brought ont
in the investigation, as follows:
Representative F. Il. Cook, of
Howell county, testified that the
cash offer was made him to induce
him to quit supporting Kerens to
vote for Niedinrghaus L. S. for
Sc nator.
Representative Cook gave this
testimony before the senate invest
igatinglcOmmittee which is probing
the charges that there was money
used to nominate Niedringhaus
United States Senator.
Cook testified that lie was appro-
ached by CAPITA. Z. Hollensbeck,
postmaster ut West Plains, with u
proposition that if he (Cook) would
support Niedringhaus he would be
taken care of. On cross exam
i nation Cook stated that he was
given to understand that the offer
was to be in the nature of cash.
This sensational evidence was
given before the senate committee
in executive session Monday morn
ing. Captain Hollenbeck is man
of unblemished reputation in the
community in which he lives.
Mr.. Cook, who turned down
the offer, stated upon further inqui
ry that he was told that if he
switched support, his attorney and
friend M e. Morrow, would be Ia
ken care of by an appointment
Chas. Morris, one of the Niedrimg
haus' campaign managers, brands
the whole thing as lie.

surdity. His friends say that he
is kind hearted, and the women
all rave over him. To us he seems
something of mixture Of two of
Dickens most wonderful charac-
tiers, Littner and Tulkinghorn with
q liberal admixture Of Sir John
Chester and Mephistopheles. He
has Il preoccupied. distracted look
in those dreamy, staring eyes
which denotes selfshness, caution,
extreme secretness and a thoroly
immoral way of looking at life.
The senate contains one young
mau worthy of attention, Frank
McAlister of Paris. McAllister
has the manners of an able man
and conducts himself with an affa-
bic dignity which is very winning.
Senator McAllister is a young at.
torney of prominence; besides he
comes from a town, citizenship in
which is tantamOunt to political
fortune.
Tom Bodine of the Paris Mercu-
ny will be n resident of the capitol

he is one of the most gifted men in

Eighth Grade Defamation Contests.

County Superintendent McCrosk-
ey and Superintendent Henry of
the Palouse schools met last Satur-
day with Mrs. M. E. Jenne of the
Pullman schools to discuss plans for
regular defamation contests be-
tween the grammar schools of this
county.
The plan roughly outlined is as
follows: The county will be dis
tricted. AT stated time all those
schools having seventh and eighth
grades will hold contests between
the pupils of those grades. The
winners from these various schools
will meet in a contest at the central
town of the district to which each
school belongs, Finally, the win
ners in the town contests will contest
at ColfaX for prize.
This preliminary plan will doubtless
be modified so as to make these CON
tests annual events in which the
contestants will be limited to men,
bers of the eighth grade of the gram
mar schools.
