Mr.. Jose, of Nevada, a brother

has been bonded by a Columbus,
Ohio, company. This property
has been a fair producer for the
last FIVE or six years, and is pret-
ty well equipped with machinery

Miss Louise Bascom, Supt. of
Public Instruction of Custer
county, will move to Challis
soon to assume the duties of her
Office. She is proving to be an
efficient officer, and we believe at
the expiration of her term of

ty will have no regrets because
they elected her to this high and
honorable position.

CHARGES MADE
AGAINST NEGROES
USE WELL KNOWN ANTiPATHY
OF THE wHlTTS FOR PuR-
POSES OF GRAFT IN POST OF.
FIcE APPOINTMENTS.

Washington Sept, 1S.-Charges that
Southern negroes are using the well
known aniipathy Of the whites to their
race for purposes OF graft in post.
office appointments are made by a
postoffice inspector.
The specific case cited by the inspec.
tor is that of a negro named William
c. Carter, who alleged to have used
his appointment as CLERK 70 secure

Carter is said to be school teacher
who took the civil service examina
ton for postal clerks and carriers. He
reported thrilling experiences at va
zoo City and represented that he had
been restrained from taking a posi-
ton as clerk at Greenwood, Miss,
Governor Vardamans home.
The Southern people have little OBJ
lection to the negroes as carriers, but
there is decided antipathy to them
as clerks in the offices, and Carter is
said to have takn advantage Of this
to the full. ..~
The report Of the postoffice inspec
tor sent to Investigate the Greenwood

GOOD STORIES
ABOUT ANIMALS

In spite of much agitation on the
subject of various times. lovers OF
animals have never succeeded in es-
.tablishing in ths country cemetery
as elaborate as those in several Eu-
ropean capitals.
The largest and most beautiful ami
NAL cemetery is La Neeropole Zoolo-
gique, in Paris, or rather in the sub
urb OF Asnieres. Here large plat
of ground is laid out for the interment
of dogs and olhar animals, and here
are erected monuments in every way
as handsome as those over the graves
of human beings in other cities OF the
dead.
Some famous dogs have sculptures
to mark their memories, and dog ken
nels in marble are favorite vaults.
For $3.50 a grave is leased for three
years. and this fee includes the ser
vices OF a dog undertaken uniformed
and mounted on a tricycle. For 500
grave may be leas I'd in perpetu'ty-
and between these extremes may be
found prices to suit all purposes.
