WITNESS AGAINST
FRAZIER DISAPPEARS
Case Against Saloon Keeper Con-
tinued Until Saturday of
Next Week.

The case against John Frazier, who
was arrested last week charged with
selling liquor to a minor, was today
continued till next Saturday, the main
witness for the prosecution having dis
appeared, and the constable being un-
able to bring him into court.
The complaint against Frazier, pro-
pietor of one of Pullman's three sa-
looms, was filed by Deputy Marshal
Morris, who charged that Frazier had
sold liquor to "Elsie" Duff, a minor,
the alleged offense having occurred on
December 14th.
The case was set for trial today, at
two O'Clock when Frazier appeared in
court with his attorney, Jno. w.
Mathews. ready for trial Frazier
will defend himself upon the ground
that he has lived up to the letter of
the law as the law has been interpret
ed in the past by the Pullman city
officials. Frazier's attorney made a
demand that the witness, Duff, be
produced, and an interesting session
of court is looked for next Saturday.

CHANGES IN SCHOOL LAWS.

County Superintendent of Schools
N. D. Showalter and Professor W. A.
Nicholas of the Colfax schools have
for some time been formulating
changes in the existing school laws to
be presented for consideration at the
Forthcoming session of the Legislature
sayD the Colfax Gazette.
The present school code requires the
county superintendent to record all
contracts between teachers and boards
of directors. Often directors make
contracts with teachers who are with
out certificates, and in a great many
cases teachers have drawn warrants
without having any legal qualifications
whatever. 1t is recommended that
provision 9, section 33, be changed to
read as follows:
"To keep in suitable book an Off
cial record of all persons under con-
tract to teach in the schools of this
county, showing the number of the
school district, the date of the con-
tract, the names of the contracting
parties, the date of the expiration of
the teachers certificate and the grade
thereof, the salary paid, and the date
of commencing school, with the length
of the term in weeks; provided, that
no contract shall be recorded without
the approval of the county superin-
tendent, and that he shall furnish the
county treasurer with list of all con-
tracts so recorded"
In many rural districts the public
moneys are almost always wasted up
on poorly planned school buildings.
The directors are often satisfied with
any sort of building that has a roof.
In order that this sort of useless waste
may be checked and in order that our
rural children may have at least the
advantage of good lighting, ventilat-
ing and heating, it is recommended
that an act be passed as follows:
"It shall be the duty of the super
intendent of public instruction to pro-
vide each county school superintendent
with volume of plans and speeifca-

complete an organization. LEGAL Or
ganizations will then be perfected in
different neighborhoods.
The organization is to be known as
the United Wheat Growers associa-
ton. An initiation fee of $3.50 will
be assessed to pay running expenses.
A prospectus has been issued, and this
sets forth in brief. the objects of the
organization. which are to secure bet
ter prices for wheat and to have all
farmers in one organization. to pro-
mote the welfare of wheat growers.
The project originated at Hatton. but
headquarters have been moved to
Ritzville. because of the better rail-
road facilities. To the newspaper
correspondent Mr.. Hugunin, who is in
the Palouse country for the purpose of
awakening interest in the project,
said:
I'VE hope to get all wheat growers
interested in the organization and get
them to agree to work in harmony.
We will have sales days and these will
be held at regular intervals, when
wheat will be sold in large quantities
to the highest bidders. We believe
that we can get better prices, and by
selling in large quantities can deal di-
rectly with the large mills or the ex-
porters and save the commissions of
one or two men or firms, all of this
being added to the farmers profits.
1--WE will decide on date for big
sale of wheat at certain point.
Every grain exporter, dealer, milling
company or jobber in grain will be
notlhed OF the number OF bushels OF
grain offered and its condition. Suffi-
cient notice will be given that these
will always have time to prepare to
bid on the grain, and we thank that
we will always be able to get several
cents above the market price by these
methods. l have just been at Oakes-
dale, where assurances are given that
at least 100 wheat growers will join
the organization there. In the Big
Bend country and along the main line
of the Northern Pacific farmers are
taking a deep interest in it, and we
will have a strong organization.

Rates of the postoffice boxes have
heretofore been fixed upon no estab-
lished basis, with the result that at
certain large postoffices rates are low
er than at many smaller offices, that
the charge for small boxes is in many
cases higher than that which should
be charged for large boxes, that rents
are sometimes collected at the same
rate for boxes of all sizes, etc. In
order to remedy this state of affairs,
the postoffice department has arranged
a schedule of prices based upon the
kind and capacity of boxes, and the
gross receipts of the offices. This new
schedule will increase the rate on the
medium sized boxes in the local post
Office from SOC to 6Oc per quarter, the
price on the drawers will remain 75c,
as at present, and the rent of the large
bins will be reduced from $1.25 to
$1.00. These new rates take effect at
once and the box rents for the quarter
commencing January l will be in ac-
cordance with the new schedule.
The action brought against the
proprietor of Frazier's saloon has
caused a good deal of speculation
around town as to the truth of the
current rumor that the supporters of
the Citizens" party tried to put Fra
zier out of business because of certain
delinquincies in his support of the
Citizens ticket, and to give the
white brick people more of monopoly
in the booze business. 1t is also said
to be on the slate to raise the pool
room licenses till the joints are forced
to shut up, and then plead extreme
virtue as reason for further consid-
Grafton at the hands of the people.
Pres. Bryan and other members of
the collge faculty will leave Tuesday
for Bellingham, where they will attend
a meeting of the State Teachers AS
sociation, of which organization Mr..
Bryan is president.

NUMBER 13
ABOUT THE NEW STAMPS.

The postoffice department will sup
ply the presidential Offices with special
stamps after the first of the year, the
name of the Office being engraved or
printed across each stamp.
The chief reason for the change is
said to be the belief that it will help
to do away with the big postoffice rob-
berries and make it much easier to
trace the criminals. The postoffice
robbery in Chicago a few years ago is
a good example of the ease with which
stolen postage stamps can be disposed
of, for no trace of the perpetrators
was ever discovered, although stamps
worth nearly hundred thousand dol
lars were stolen, and these mostly of
small denominations.
But this is only one of the purpos-
es the change is expected to serve, saw
stamp authorities. Another is to en-
able the postofiice department to deter
mine the amount of business done by
the different postoffices.
A great deal of complaint has been
made in the past on the ground that
certain offices are doing a very much
greater volume of business than they
were credited with doing and post
masters have had more or less trouble
in showing that they needed increased
facilities for handling their mails, as
in the opinion of the congressional
committees having the matter in
charge the receipts for the sale of
stamps did not warrant the increase.

Relief for rheumatism.

These damp days are hard on peo-
pie afflicted with rheumatism, and
relief is sought In all sorts Of reme-
dies.
There is no doubt In the minds OF
people who have suffered with the
dread disease and those who have
studied II closely that probably more
relief can be secured from the Osteo-
.pathic treatment than any other.
OF course, some chronic cases
won't yield to any treatment. but in
stances of cases of seven and eight
years standing yielding to three
months treatments can be cited. II
you are suffering of rheumatism, I
should like to discuss your case with
you, examine you and tell you what

patty am having very gratifying
success with people you know well.

the value OF the finished product, Pa
ducah is advancing faster than any
city in the state with the single ex-
ception OF Louisville.
AT every one of these points In
manufacturing Paducah showed
gain, and not a single gain is less
than 20 per cent. The Enormous in
crease OF II per cent. IN capital in
vested; the comparatively high in
crease of so per cent in the amount
paid out In wages; and the hand

TIE BIRTH OLE VIRTUE

Although the thought in the minds
of those who instituted the crusade
which resulted in Judge Reeds order
for the evacuation of Kentucky ave.
nue. by the habitues of the red light
was only to clean out that section
because Of its publicity and proximity
TO the schools, library, churches and
the main thoroughfare, the result OF
their work promises to be a moral
awakening in Paducah of limitless
possibilities. There is an old saying
that II is always darkest just before
the dawn; which, interpreted, means
that people do not embrace reforms
until conditions become unbearable.
For that reason reforms usually come
at the most unexpected times, and
surprise a lot of people who would
have been right at the fore front, had
they known the reform movement
was going to succeed. This particu-
lar moral ripple in the complacent
pool of public sentiment was agitated
into being by the precipitation of a
dot of dens of iniquity in the midst of
decent neighborhoods.
They iniure the value of property,
they degrade a neighborhood social.
they create an impure atmosphere for
our girls to live in-they are alto
gether impossible. Frontier COM
mittees" to devise ways and means
for protection against the menace
mark the first step. When ii is dis
covered that they will have a perman-
ent watch to keep. and every section
of the city is selfishly interested in
the guerilla warfare against bawdy
houses, something will happen. We
don't predict what will happen, but
Paducah is on the verge of an unusu-
al experience in municipal morals
Usually such reform movements
originate or eliminate in the election
of crank with the idea of purging
the city, but who succeeds only in
dispensing the red light habitues
and injecting every section of the city
with their presence. Paducah's move
ment starts night where the others
leave off People of all sections of
the city, save in the immediate vicin.
ity of Kentucky avenue, and those
who have daughters going to the
Washington school building, were
quite unmoved by the presence. in the
heart of Paducah Of distinct zone of
vice; but they are terribly exercised
because the denizens are scattered.
The outcome of it all may be watched
with interest, aud in some quarters
concern; for those who break the
Law may be broken by the law.
