New Brick Shcool.

w. M. Duthie suggests the erection
Of new brick school building for Troy.
To show how much he is interesed in
this much-needed improvement Mr..
Duthie has expressed willingness to
donate $500 towards paying off the old
debt of $4,000 There are others who
have expressed similar opinion and
there is no question about pushing the
matter to a successful conclusion if
someone will just start the ball rolling.
F. M. Green favors new brick school
house, as do the Troy Lumber & Mfg.
Co. people, who have talked of leaving
Troy simply because the school facili-
ties here are not what town OF this
size ought to have. Next to water
works there is nothing Of so much i'm
portance as the public schools, and
nothing that would increase the popu-
lation of Troy any faster. A good
brick school, say eight rooms, would
increase the value OF every peice Of
real estate in the town, and by increas-
ing the population, increase the busi-
ness of the town. The present old
shack is disgrace to Troy and we
ought to have too much pride in oui
little city to put up with il any longer.
1t may raise taxes little but the result
will more than justify the outlay in
dollars

The News does not care to do any
Dragging about Itself, but we would
like to invite comparison of the paper
published in Troy and papers published
in other towns OF equal size in the
Northwest. We would appreciate il if
the citizens of Troy would do this as it
would give them pretty good idea as
to whether or not the News is doing as
much as it ought towards building up
the town in which it is published. We
would like to have the papers appear
ance compared, too, that our people
may know whether or not we are Civ
ing them as neat a paper as they are
entitled to have. We believe we are
safe in say ng, however, that in the
matter OF boosting for our town the
Troy News devotes ten times as much
space to Troy as any othey paper in
the county donates to the town in
which it is published. To the best
OF our belief we have never overlooked
an opportunity to boost Troy, and
when we reach that point where we
cannot continue this policy we shall
sell out and hike" to another berg.
The News has enjoyed fine business,
but every dollar made has been in
vested in plant that is now among
the best in the country. Troy has a
printing Office that does turn out work
that compares favorably with work
done by printers in even cities like
Spokane. For example, take the
school programs done here the past
two years. And then compare the
letter heads, statements, cards, OF
posters turned out right here at home,
in your home Office. The Office is a
part OF your town, and ought TO-, and
does, receive the loyal support of the
citizens OF the town. By comparison
you may easily determine whether Of
not the Troy News is up to the stand
ard you have right to expect.

Irlmayer Suicides. .

Alois Irlmayer, an old German living
alone on his farm was found dead in
his bed on Big Bear ridge east of Troy
by travelling implement agent Friday.
The body was badly decomposed
and could not have been identified from
the features of the deceased. On the
table stood a one ounce bottle Of
strychnine, the stopper out, and two
thirds of the contents gone; teacup
and spoon to which strychnine was
still adhering; note written with lead
pencil stating that he was unable to
stand it any longer" and requesting
that he be buried in the cemetery,
plainly showd the cause of death.
The sheriff was notified and Saturday
morning Deputy Sheriff Grant Robbins
and Coroner McCartor reached the
scene but decided that an inquest was
unnecessary. The deceased had care
fully planned every detail Of the awful
act. Tuesday night he talked with a
neighbor whom he asked to tell anoth-
er neighbor, Mr.. Hecht, to come over
the next morning and settle up. This
message was not delivered, and when
the body was found letter was with
it directing Mr.. Hecht to take charge
of things until the arrival of a brother
from Iowa. Deceased was a quiet,
industrious man, respected by all, and
his death was shock to the commun-
ity. He left considerable property.

Good Work.

There are some business men who
do not appreciate the value of good
job work and these fellows usually con-
tent themselves with a rubber stamp
and ten cent pencil tablet while they
make out their bills on cheap, shoddy
stuff furnished with adulterated baking
powder or some other fake. But all
this does not matter. If the merchant
can afford to use this kind of stuff the
printer can afford to get along without
the business. Now we are coming to
the point we started out to make,
namely, that it pays to use good
stationery. A few days ago drummer
called on VIM. Smith, the young mer-
chant who recently engaged in the
mercantile business in Troy, and see
ing one of his letterheads, said. THAT
is fine piece OF work. Why, a letter
head like that will add $500 to any
mans credit with wholesale house. !

finish, and beautiful piece of paper

making job that no merchant would
be ashamed to mail to any wholesale
house in the world. And it was made

This Question Will Probably
Be Asked by Township
Trustees in Future.
NEW LAW MAKES CHANGE.
HEREAFTER TRUSTEES CANNOT
USE OWN JURISDICTION AS TO
FOLLOW STRICTLY THE LAW.

Several of the township trustees of
Wayne county are confronted with a
peculiar situation relative to their
bondsmen.
Heretofore it has been the custom Of
the township trustees to have some
one of the local banking institutions
to go on their bond, for which favor
no interest was payed by the trustee.
When no interest was paid the bank
furnishing the bond was favored by
having portion of the funds placed
with it from which interest was deriv-
ed. Since the state law provided that
the finance board apportion the public
funds among the banking institutions,
it deprives the trustees of exercising
their own pleasure about placing the
deposits. AS a result. trustee can
not exercise his own prerogative, but
may be compelled to place the funds
in another bank from the one furnish
ing him bond. 1t is probe BILE that sew
eral of the trustees will either have to
pay interest from now. on or else Sc
cure their bond with one OF the regular
appointed repositories.

Henry ScheII Claims That Sum
Spent for Winburn
Was His.
MEREDITH DENIES THIS.
WINBURN CLAIMED THE MONEY
NOT SCHELL'S; THAT HE WON
1T IN A GAME OF CRAPS AND
DID NOT STEAL 1T.

When arrested, julius Winburn, the
colored man who was given three
months Jail sentence for burglariZing
the Henry Schell saloon of $500, had
just $50. A part Of this money was
in a pocket book, the remainder was in
an envelope. Schell claims the entire
amount. Sheriff Meredith contends
Schell is only entitled to S4.O5.
All but $4.O5 of the money Winburn
had was spent at his request to secure
tobacco. fruit and other things for his
use while waiting trial. After Win
burn had been sentenced by Judge
Fox, Sheriff Meredith offered Henry
Schell the remaining S4.O5. Schell re-
fused to accept this amount. He stat
co that he wanted the amount Win
burn had on him when arrested, $40.
Schell informed the authorities that
all the money Winburn had. was taken
out of the saloon cash drawer.
Schell says that unless the entire
amount Winburn had is paid over to
him, he W.. file suit to recover the
same. Sheriff Meredith states that
| the money spent to secure various
| things for Winburn while he was
awaiting trial was taken from the en-
velope. The money in this envelope
Winburn Informed the sheriff. was
won shooting craps and Schell had N
claim on it.
Sheriff Meredith says that before he
used any of this money for Winburn
he secured the authority of the court
The S4O5 in the pocketbook, which
| Winburn informed the sheriff was par
of the money he had stolen from
Schell, is still in the hands of the
sheriff and he states that he is per
fectly willing to give it to Schell any
time he claims it.
The entire matter is a case of misun
derstanding and will undoubtedly be
settled outside of court.

NEXT PROSECUTOR
MAY Be PUBLIC
SCHOOL TEACHER
The Office Is Very Attractive
To at Least Two Young
Barrister Pedagogues Who
Announce Themselves.
BECK MAY BE CHOSEN
COUNTY CHAIRMAN.
He Will Be the Candidate of
Both Democratic Factions
As Neither Cared to Push a
Man to the Front.

The race to secure the republican
nomination for the office of prescott
ing attorney, has developed into
a school masters campaign. So far
there have been only two candidates
to announce themselves for this Of
flee and both of them are teachers in
the county schools. The latest to
take the field is Joe c. Burgess, teach
er of the Whitewater school. A
short time ago Charles Ladd. tea
cher in one of the Center township
schools, blossomed out as a candi-
date
A year or two ago Mr.. Burgess was
admitted to the Morgan county bar.
He became d partner TO an aged attor-
ney and for a time enjoyed splendid
practice. His partner suddenly died
and when his estate was settled the
law library was disposed of. Being a
struggling young attorney and having
no law library at his command. Mr..
Burgess was forced to abandon the
law and become a school teacher, COM
ing to this county and being assign
ed to the Whitewater school.
He has wanted to resume the praC-
tice of law ever since necessity fore
persuaded him to make the race for
the prosecutOrship and after giving
the matter much consideration, Mr..
Burgess has decided to announce him
self as candidate. Charles Ladd
was admitted to the bar about a year
ago. He is popular young man and
we'll fitted to fill the office he seeks.
Beck For Chairman.
Since George Harris of Fountain
City has decided to enter the race for
the democratic district craftsmanship
he has announced that he is not a
ty craftsmanship, which position he
has filled SO we'll for some years. The
democratic party in this county is
now split up into two factions. the
Harris faction and the Schillinger fac
ton. AS yet neither faction has start
ed grooming a candidate for the of
flee of county chairman. E. b Beck
or TINS city ana leduluS meInDeT vi
the democratic party in this county
will probably be chosen to this office
to avoid a factional fight.
Mr.. Beck has not affiliated himself
with either the Harris or Schillinger
crowds so both factions can safely
come out for him when the choice OF
a county chairman is made. Mr.
Beck has not sought the office. When
representatives of the Schillinger and
Harris crowds approached him with
the proposition to become county
chairman Mr.. Beck said that he was
a busy man, but if the office was Of
fered to him he would accept it.

THE "BONE AGE" IN KANSAS.
In Early Days the Plain Was strewn
 With Buffalo Skeletons.

The pioneers of Kansas will never forget the buffalo bone age" When central and southwestern Kansas were settled the prairies were strewn with buffalo bones. Those were hard times ill Kansas, and the gathering of these bones enabled the early settlers to live while they were getting their claims broken out" for the producing of crops. Nine-tenths of the pioneers of that section of Kansas VI and there weren't many at that-had literally nothing but a team and q few house the east in a single wagon. Of course there were no buffalo for this was in the late seventies, but their bones strewed the plains, and these bones were the only thing that had a com mercial value, and they were utilized. They were hauled In great wagon loads to the nearest railway, often from sixty 10 Ii hundred miles away, and sold The horns were the more valuable, and they went first, but the rest of the skeleton soon followed. There were no fortunes made by these early bone hunters. for q large load of buffalo bones brought only from S5 to $S at the railroad towns. but the pro to buy a little flour, coffee and occa- slonally meat and lumber. - Kansas City Star

A DISTANT BELERY.
English Church With a Bell Tower
 Half. q Mile Away.

Half. q Mile Away.
 It is generally supposed that the vii. lage church of East Bergholt, Suffolk, Is the only one in England which pos sesses an entirely distinct building for its belfry. The bells of this church are hung in shed many yards away from the church and are worked from above instead of from beneath.
 The church of Warmsworth, how ever, village situated about two miles from Doncaster, can boast of belfry which Is about half mile away from the church. As the crow flies the dis tance between church and belfry, which is known as Bell Tower, is 2,350 feet the distance by road being about half a mile.
 The belfry is by no means a make shift building. The tower, in fact, Is said to date back to the twelfth cen tury, and the reason of its isolation forms rather curious story. The church was originally built on its pres ent site to accommodate the villagers of both Warmsworth and Baby, the latter village being half a mile from the former.
 The tower was then placed in Warns worth in order that tie parishioners might hear the bell, which stops ring ing a quarter of an hour before the service in order to enable the bell ring CT to get to the church In time-Lon- don Strand.

How It Struck the Parrot.

Here is the latest parrot story. A certain retired general of the Indian army possessed parrot and also a very irascible temperament. The par rot was a valuable bird. but was rather nuisance by reason of its extreme talkativeness. One day while the gen eral was writing his business letters the parrot kept up continual chatter, very disturbing to the writer. At last the general could stand it no longer, and, jumping up, he seized the cage of the unhappy bird, which he whirled vigorously round and round, at the same time shouting furiously. Then he set the cage down again. and sl- lence for some time ensued. At length, however, a feeble voice came from the interior of the cage.
