Barnes High School Bill a Law.

The Senate, on Tuesday, passed
the Barnes high school bill, which will
become law when published. The
bill provides that "In every county in
the state of Kansas in which one or
more school districts or cities of less
than 10000 inhabitants shall have
maintained high schools with courses
of instruction admitting those who
complete the same to the freshmen
class of the college of liberal arts and
sciences to the University of Kansas,
the county commissioners may levy a
tax each year of not less than one :
fourth of a mill nor more than three
mills on the dollar of the assessed
valuation on the taxable property
within such counties for the purpose
of creating a general high school
fund"
I The commissioners are to levy such
tax only when the people vot for it.
The proceeds are then to be appor-
toned among the designated high
schools in proportion to the attend
ance.

A Petition to Governor Bell.
''To the Governor OF Vermont:
"As the day is near when Mary NJ.
Rogers is appointed by law to die, we
the undersigned, the sheriff and deputy
sheriffs of Windsor county, bring this
memorial to your attention, humbly
praying that you will exercise the pow
er to reprieve, which we believe to be
conferred upon you by the constitution
as construed by the governors of Yer
mont, many of whom have been dis
tinguished for their learning in the
law, and all of whom, from the DAYS
of Chittenden to the present hour, have
been men noted for their devotion to
justice and to the principle that the
power In their hands when welded on
the side of mercy Is not contrary to
the spirit of the cons titution of this
state. We understand we'll that yours
is duty to see that the laws are
executed and that all within our bor-
ders shall receive equal right and JUS
tice. Hence is petition to you We
would not falter. We have and shall
endeavor to do our duty in this case
at least to carry into effect the awful
sentence of the law. We have and
shall endeavor to do our duty as Off
GERS under the law, but though we are
officers, we cannot forget we are men,
men with homes, citizens of Vermont,
whose good repute is dear to us all.
Therefore unsolicited by any one and
moved only by an ambition to render
the state our highest and best service,
whatever criticism there NAV come to
us for this act of ours, the response
bility OF which we fully assume, but
with an abiding faith that in time to
come, il this memorial shall have had
even a little influence in persuading
Your Excellency TO extend for while
this woman's time on earth so tn at
counsel may have opportunity to pre-
sent her case TO the proper tribunal, it
will then be abundantly demonstrated
that we have performed higher and
holier duty to law, TO order and to
civilization than II now compelled to
hang this woman by the neok until
she Is dead.

Yakima Cannot Sell Bonds.

Up to date no bids have been re-
ceived for the $4,000 issue authoriz-
ed ny the voters OF the city at a spec
ial election held on October 10. In
the terms Of the election proposition
1t was specified that the bonds should
draw hut 4 per cent interest This
was done because 1t was thought
that the state of Washington would
take up the bonds In case they were
not bought by some bond company
The state, however, has troubles of iti
own at the present time, and cannot
buy any bonds.
The bids, II any are received, are
to be opened at the regular meeting
of the council on Monday night, jan
uary 15. In case no bids are re-
ceived by that date matters will be
left just where they now stand. II
is probable that another election will
need to be called to vote on the prop
osition Of issuing bonds at a higher
rate Of interest II these cannot be
disposed Of. From present indications
It would appear that the council will
have 10 arrange for another election
Eastern bond buyers object to the
per cent interest rate as being toe

sidered. They say that Ia per cent

CLAIM 100 YEARS OLD.
Grant County Man Receives Surprise
From Uncle Sam.

Ira Sproul of this city recently re-
ceived word from relatives in the east
that the administrator of his grand
fathers estate has just received no
tice of the settlement of q claim
against the government after the same
had been pending for more than a
century. says the Blue Mountain Eagle
Of Canyon City. It was one Of tie
many claims known as the French
spoliation claims, the history of which
may be familiar to some readers OF
the Blue Mountain Eagle.
In 1895 France was involved in
war with England and in turn for
help given the United States which
enabled this country to gain its lnde-
pendence, France expected the assist
ance of this government, which was al
that time not only young in years, but
far from being the strong power that
he is today. The United States re-
fused to help France, and as result
Tor a short time Ame rican commerce
suffered.
Mr. Sprouts great grandfather and
MS DTOlleTS OWHeu SCnOOHcr WnlCn
carried on trade between Boston
md other New England ports. Their
vessel was among the many unfortu-
nate craft that fell prey to French
privateers. The United States secured
from France indemnity not only for
the Sproul vessel, but for all American
vessels lost to their owners at that
timo and there the matter stopped.
All efforts to secure the payment of
the claims from the United States
failed until during President Cleve-
lands administration, when an order
was made authorizing the payment of
the Sproul claim to the heirs Of the
estate.
While the claim at one time amount
ed to about $4,000, Mr.. sproul says
that there are 80 many descendants of
his great-grandfather and his brothers
that by the time the money Is appor-
toned to all the heirs the amount
received by each OF them will be very
small.
Tho most remarkable feature of the
Incident is the speed which marked
our own government in the final ad-
justment OF the affair.

Gross injustice was done to every
farmer in Umatilla county In an at
tack by the Morning Tribune OF this
city this morning.
Preceding the holidays small far
mers and stockmen In different parts
Of the county butcher young animals
from their herds and peddle out the
fresh meat in this city and the small
Ter towns Of the county.
In many instances this ia one of the
chief methods by which many fami-
lies OF moderate meanse secure
Christmas money and It is Just as le-
gitimate as 1t is to sell apples. poul-
try. butter, eggs, potatoes or other
farm products
But true to its usual tactics, the
Tribune declares that meat brought
in from the country is diseased, thus
creating prejudice against the
country people who support Pendle-
ton and who find their only market
for farm produce among Pendleton
residents and business men.
Without making a specific charge
or naming the alleged guilty party 1t
casts discredit upon every farmer who
may hereafter haul a load of farm
produce to this city. 1t is extremely
unjust to the sterling citizenship of
the rural districts OF Umatilla county
and will result In great harm to in
nocent people who make a practice
Of selling their produce in this city.
Country people are entitled to the
highest consideration from Pendletoi.
for upon this great class Pendleton
draws its support and the East Ore
gonian takes this opportunity TO de-
fend them against the wholesale inn
putation of the dishonesty and malic-
iousness charged by the Morning Trl-
bune. The article from the Tribune
is as follows:
rs diseased meat being sold by pri-
vate individuals to residents OF Pen
dleton?
Local butchers declare that GER
tain persons have, during the last few
days been bringing meat of diseased
milch cows to the city and peddllng
the article about the city. Several
cases are known to butchers where
such beef has been pawned off on
innocent buyers.
I'm speaking OF the matter yester
day a well known butcher said! These
parties who have been selling Infer
Tor and diseased meat to citizens about
town attempted to dispose Of the same
stuff to US. Upon examining the meat
we found that 1t was not up to re-
Of
were actually diseased. The stuff
was flatly rejected. Since then, l
understand the meat has been dis
posed Of to different persons about
the city The matter should be in
vestigated by the proper authorities
at once."
II the well known butcher mel
toned by the Tribune knew that dis
eased meat was brought to town,
why did he not report the name to
the authorities? There is law
against selling this sort of food.
Why is the name of the well
known butcher" withheld by the
Tribune? The charge is too serious
and too much detrimental to the In
terests OF highly deserving country
people of Umatilla county to admit of
any such wholesale accusation!
1t is up to the Tribune to name the
butcher who makes the charges and
to name the party alleged to have
been peddling diseased meat. or else
admit that It has simply made a ma
licious accusation against every farm
er in the county.
