Tonight

occurs the school enteI tainment,
given for the purpose of adding
to the piano fund. This is high
ly commendable project, and we
are sure that everyone will be glad
to lend helping hand. Buying a
ticket will not be an act of charity,
however. The program which fol-
lows, shows that several of the
numbers alone would be worth the
price of admission. }.
There are songs by a chorus of
girls voices, others by a MKT
chorus. and the boys have even
been pursuaded to favor the public.
There are dialogu es and Rotations
so comical that you will laugh un-
til the tears come. There are reci-
cations with piano accompaniment
and recitations without There is
a drill, prepared under the direc-
ton of Miss Vaughn, which is so
beautiful that after seeing it you
will feel thai perhaps you are
cheating the m ,nagement and
ought to pay second admission.
And last, but by no means least, is
a comedy in one act, entitled "a
Bull-terrier and Baby presented
by the Misses Nina Hoadley and
Audrey Fullerton, and Lilo, d Hax-
ton and Guy Story. This is one of
the opportunities to do good aud
receive the like in return.

North Coast Wins
Three Cases
Judge Ggs Awards Risht.of.Way
Thru Union Gap, Parker Siding
and into North Yakima

Judge H. B. Rigg in open court
this morning handed down the fol-
lowing decisions in the cases broght
by the North Coast Railway against
the Northern Pacific Railway.
The North Coast is permitted a
passage thru Union Gap with the
right of condemning land for a
right Of way there that lies 45 feet
west of the center line of the Nor
thern Pacific tracks.
If the Northern Pacific fails to
raise tie grade of its track as it
promist, the North Coast will be
allowed to condemn for right-of-
way land that lies IS feet west of
Of the center line of the formers
track.
The North Coast viii. be allowed
to cross the Northern Pacific tracks
IS feet north Of Parker Siding. It
must, however, erect, operate and
maintain, at all times, device to
insure safe passage of trains
across the tracks.
The North Coast will be allowed
to cross at the same grade main
tanned now by the Northern Pacific.
The North Coast will be allowed
to condemn for its use as yards the
west haltof the FL acres in North
Yakima askt for from the Northern
Pacific.
This legal victory is of great i'm
portance to the new road and en-
ables them to feel sure of their pro-
ject. They have promist to press
work of construction with vinor as
soon as these c1ses were settled.

"Twenty.three" for Us.

The game Sunday afternoon between
Kennewick and Prosser was sorrow
full affair. Too many base hits by
Prosser and 100 many errors on the
part of Ken"ewick explains the score
which was % to 1 or thereabouts.
The locals were stacking up against
an older, heavier and more experience
bunch of players, who ran up the
score with an ease and regularity
which became uninteresting after
few innings. Let's take somebody
orr size next time. Horse Heaven
for nstance.

Let Them Alone.

If we are to Judge by the thous-
ands of people who are being daily
swindled by the numerous get rich
schemes that infest the country, the
American people are becoming par
ticularly easy. Almost every large
city seems to be a fruitful field for
the swindler's operations, and the
poor dupes almost tumble over each
other in their effort to get some
thing for nothing or fabulous returns
for a small outlay, which anyone of
average intelligence ought to know
was a swindle without being ap-
prised of the fact. Aside from this
the press of the country is continu-
ally warning the people Of the dan
gerous character of those swindling
operations and publishing reports Of
the thousands who have learned by
dear experience Of the fraudulent
nature of so many concerns in which
they have intrusted their all. We
would say it serves them right were
it not for the fact that the victims
in many cases are poor people who
can i'll afford to lose their daily earn
ings in this manner. We would ad-
wise our readers to let all these get
rich quick concerns alone.

ELLoREE DIsPENsARY CLOSED
Order of the County Board of Con
troll Becomes Effective.

Pursuant to the order of Orange
burg County Board of Control the
Elloree dispensary closed its doors
Tuesday. There was S125.2o unsold
stock on hand, and this is at the dis
posal Of the board. On February l6,
when all the dispensaries were tenn
porarily closed under the new law,
there was about 500 worth Of stock
on hand. When the dispensary was
opened under the present law car
load Of whiskey was shipped to Eli
loree, and the first named figures is
what remained of the old supply and
the shipment when Dispenser Weeks
checked up Thursday.
The dispensary has been in oper-
alton at Elloree little over Jhlr-
teen years ago, and Mr.. ]. NJ. Weeks
has served continuously as dispencer
during that time. He has made a
capable and efficient official, enforc-
ing the law without fear or favor as
applied to the sale of whlskey under
the dispensary system. He retlres
from his position with the respect
and confidence OF the people.
There has been long and contln-
uous fight at Elloree for prohibition
and there are many who believe that
the above action is for the best. The
opportunity for the practice of pro-
hibition now presents itself, and we
hope it will be a success. But If all
we hear is true there are one or two
places not far from Elloree that Will
have to be looked after. We throw
this hint out to those whose busl-
ness il is to enforce the law.

REMARKABLE SAVAGES
Moaris, Of New Zealand, Are Now
Quite Highly Civilized.


The Moaris, of New Zealand, are
in many respects the most remark
able savages with whom the white
men has come in contact. Fifty
years ago cannibalistic feaSts at
which the flesh Of fallen enemies
was served, were not uncommon.
Today, descendants of this same
race are serving in the New Zealand
parlimeut. All exercise the right to
vote, the women having been granted
that privilege in 1898 at the same
time it was granted the English Wo-
men on the island.
When the English first occupied
the island Of New Zealand about 60
years ago, it is estimated, there were
100000 Moarins. Now there are
about $4,000 in reservations in the
Northern provinces. They have their
own schools and government and
show that they are proficient in the
exercise of their rights as their En-
glish neighbors.
AS native savages, the English
found that the Maoris had unusual
ability for building, fortifylng and
defending stockades. They were
skilled as decorators, and carvers in
wood and stone.
Tattooing was favorite art. All
members Of all the various tribes had
to be tattooed. The person who re-
fused to undergo the torture was
doomed to slavery. The decoration
served partly as ornament and partly
for clothing.

BLOODY TRAGEDY. !.
Caught a Man and His Wife 10
Compromising Position
And Knocked Them Both in the Head
With Hammer Before They Had
Time to Awake.

A special dispatch from Columbia
to the News and: Courier says there
was another murder in the Waverley
neighborhood Sunday morning, but
the affair differed from the recent
homicides in and around Columbia,
being case Of the tunwritten law
among negroes.
1t seems that about midnight, John
Jacobs, a negro carpenter, returned
to his home in WaveTiey and found 1t
locked against him, but entering
through a window he. discovered his
wife, Bessie JACOBS, asleep In the
same bed with VIII Johnson, negro.
John Jacobs proceeded to kill both
the man and the woman, as he
thought, hitting them in the head
with a hammer, as they slept. His
blows ended the life Of his wife, but
not that of Johnson, who is now at
Taylor Lane Hospital, under treat
melt.
Jacobs went to the home Of his
employer, the colored contractor, A.
S. Johnson, and with Johnson went
to the police station and surrendered,
and is now in Jail. He was under
the impression that ne had killed
both man and woman but when the
officers reached the scene the negro
man, Will Johnson, was alive and
was taken to the hospital as soon as
possible. The sheriff. police and cor
oner went to the scene soon after the
news reached the city.

WAS SCARED OFF.
New York Clerk Lost Courage
and Left bonds.
Stole Bonds to the Value of $SO0,ooo
and Had an Additional $oOo'ooo
Worth of Securities.

Fear saved the Trust Company ood OF
America in New York city, s50o,ooO
and prevented the greatest steal that
has ever been planned. Had Will
lam O. Douglass kept his courage
to the last he would have succeeded
in carrying away bonds valued at
s1,3OO,000. In that case he would in
all probability have been in a posi-
ton to compel the bank officers to
let him go free.
AS it is he got away with bonds
to the value of $S00,000. Why he
did not carry away the additional
S500,000 worth of gilt edged securi-
ties he had concealed in his desk,
is not known, but it is thought he
had not the temerity to return for
this portion of his plunder after the
theft was discovered.
|, After a meeting this week of the
directors of the comxany, a formal
statement of the loss was made pub
lie. 1t shows that securities Of the
market value Of $4,000 were alb
stracted by the assistant loan clerk.
All the securities have been recov-
cred with the exception Of S63, 900.
In making this recovery the COM
pany had to pay 100000 to various
stock exchange brokerage firms,
who held the securities as collateral.
Deducting the clerks bond, the to-
tai net loss to the company is rated
at $4,000. A complete report of
the entire transaction by which
Douglas and Dennet got possession
of the securities was made to the
directors.
Regarding the disclosure of the
theft by Douglass and bennett,
Charles H. Kept, state superinten-
dent Of banks, made the following
statement:
"We shall begin at once the exam
nation of the securities Of trust
compines. This means all the securi-
ties. The practice has been grow
ing for New York banks to borrow
money for Western banks on COLA
teral sent on here. We have not
in the past examined these seccuri-
ties, but shall do so in the future
The purpose is to prevent substitu-
ton.
"For instance, a bank might take
securities from trust funds and put
them with the collateral for loans
during a period Of examination.
They could be returned to their
proper places when the examiners
finished with their work, | don't say
that this has been done, but I say
that it could be cone" !"

SC0RNED LOVER
Followed His Sweetheart to
America and Murders Her.
Her Repeated Refusals To Marry
Madden the Cars Bodyguard
Causes Her Death Warrant.

The revengeful nature Of Franz
Andrukat, a former soldier in the
cars bodyguard, caused him to shoot
and fatally injure Martha Koris, in
a bakery, in Philadelphia, this week.
He was maddened by her repeated
refusals to marry him. After the
shooting Andrukat coolly viewed the
body PROSTATE on the floor, then
turned the revolver on himself and
fired two shots that my end his life.
In the ambulance that bore victim
and would-be suicide to the hospital,
the young woman died. Andrukat
has bullet in his brain and his
chances for recovery are slim.
The murder of the young German
girl finished the climax to story OF
affection unrequited. Eight years
ago Andrukat made his first offer to
marry, but his proposal was reject
ed. He was then 19 yaars of age, and
the girl Is. Three years ago, when
the couple were in their native vii
lage at Taroka, just over the Rus
sian line, Martha was attacked by
her lover, then a dragoon. She was
asked to marry and on her refusal
Andrukat struck her down with a
hatchet. He was imprisoned two
years for his crime. But imprison-
ment did not change his intentions.
Before he was liberated the young
woman came to this country and
found employment in Philadelphia.
Her lover learned of her where
a5outs and pursued her across the
ocean. Frequently he called at the
home where she was employed as a
domestic and demanded to see the
girl. He was always turned away. A
Short time ago he sought revenge
by having Martha arrested on the
charge of stealing $50 and two rings
from him. She was acquitted, but
returned suit by prosecuting Andru,
kat for tormenting her by his atten-
tions. He was fined SIS and announc.
ed his intentions for getting revenge.
Martha seldom left the home OF
August Ramstein, 1909 South street,
except on short errands. On the
morning Of the shooting she went fol-
a loaf Of bread. Scarcely had she an.
nounced her order when her lover
entered the store. II will give you
one more chance to be my mife," he
said in German. Fearful because Of
his former attempt to take her life
the girl was indignant and at the
same time resolute. 81 would rather
die than marry you," was her reply
Her refusal was her death warrant
''Then you shall die!" her lover re
sponded, and, pulling his revolver
fired two shots, one entering he,
right breast and the other severine
her spinal column at the neck. Their
he made the attempt to kill himself.
All efforts to locate the bullet in the
injured mans brain have proven fu,
tile. It is thought by physicians thai
he cannot recover.

Mise and Otherwise.

Some queer birds roost in family
trees
Even a busy man has time to feel
sorry for himself.
Genuine happiness is able to stand
a lot Of hard knocks.
Success has made fool of many
an otherwise sensible man.
Many a cool thing slips through a
mans grasp because he is too pre-
vious.
About the only time the majority
of us act natural is when we are
asleep.
Men who whistle at their work
seldom work and better than when
they whistle.
Freedom of speech has enabled
many a man to give it to himself IN
the neck.
A man has no more use for cry
ing baby than a woman has for a
crying man.
Some people are such consistent
knockers that they refuse even to
ring a door bell.
Poetry of love is transformed into
prose when matrinlony reaches the
?aregoric stage.
When a man is in too great hur-
20 n"-:tire he is apt to make a
fool of himself.
A man may realize his own i'm
>ortance. but if he is wise he also
realizes that other people do not.

The Fair Sex.


Many a girl who cant sing does
sing.
A girl sees nothing wrong in kiss
ing the right man.
A woman would rather break a SIS
bill that ten-cent dish.
A pound Of candy will go farther
with a woman than ton of argu-
ment.
It's easier for married man to
stop a runaway horse than his wife S
tongue.
In after years a woman imagines
there is something wrong with ner
husband if he doesn't find fault with
his meals.
Some women wear combs to hold
their hair up and some wear them
to hold it on.
When woman is happy it is a
sign she has got something new IN
the way of clothes.
Whe nthe woman takes the con-
ceit out of man she herself is apt to
have a double supply.
There is a vast difference between
loving girl extravagantly and low
ing an eXtravagant girl.
No poor man has any business to
marry woman who has mania
for making nothing out of something
A woman seldom means what she
saws, but occasionlly she makes a
mistake and says what she means.
A man isn't always as old as he
feels, but a woman is always as old
AS she says she is-and then some.
Usually a mother is not able to
see the badness in her own children
or the goodness in the children OF
her neighbors.
Every man ought to marry wo-
man who is a good manager, be-
cause few men are any good unless
they are properly managed.

THE LOST BOY
Is Found Dead In The Marsh Near
His Home.

The body of little Horace Marvin,
who dissapeare:i from, the farm of
his father at Kits Hammock, near
Dover, Del, March 4, was found Sat
rrday afternoon in a marsh in a
fair state of preservation.
The spot where the body was found
is about a half mile east of the farm
house toward the Delaware river.
kits Hammock is between seven and
eight miles from Dover and is with
ont communication with any place.
From information brought by a
horseman it is learned that the
clothes on the child were the same
as he wore the day he disappeared.
The body was found lying face down
ward. ,,
DR.. Marvin, the father of the boy.
believes that those who stole his ut
tie fellow in March, killed him and
left his body where it was found to
mislead the public. Others belleVe
that the lad strayed off and died
where he was found, and that ne
never was kidnapped at all.
