We wish to call our readers at,
tention 10 the communication oi
Ex-Governor Fletcher in another
column of this issue. While we
are most heartily in favor of liberal
support To all educational institu-
tions, and do not know that this
would be really graft" we do
know Il would work an injustice to
the common schools OF the state. Ii
the school funds OF this state are
80 abundant that this institution
can be given such an annual dvi-
dend, we know OF hundreds of
country schools that cannot support
a full nine months term, that can
not pay salary sufficient To Sc
cure first class teachers. Let these
schools be helped in proportion TO
these higher educational instilu-
tlons and there will be greater good
done to greater number, This
institution already has an annual
appropriation of SIS, 900 and ii this
SIaS, was for but one year. we
would not yell So loudly; but to
make II perpetual rake.oif is
what we object To. II is unneces-
sary and We are ferninst it,

There II goes again. II was
Christmas morning just after the
merry bells had ceased To- ring aud
the tribe were still having their
ructions over the different presents
and the candies, nuts. etc. with
which most everybody brings on
an attack of indigestion Oh these
occasions. We heard scratching
aud ilu,tering on the roof or some
where about the house whilst the
din was the loudest, but we did not
know what was the occasion until
later in the day when we learned
that Il was a stork. and the blamed
noise scared him away aud he flew
to the next house, just across the
street, aud left fine boy at the
home Of our neighbor, NJ. w.

Is just our luck. When the whole
tribe gets together they make so
much noise that "foolhcn" would
not stop, To say nothing of stork.
Now, II those kids had just been
still and the stork had left this

THE ACT OF 4 DIPLOMAT.
Wise RAnehman Averted a War ln
 the Hole in the Wall"

Near the Hole-in-the-Wall country in Wyoming there Is peppery old caitleman whose range is as dear to him as his life, and from whose point of view sheepman is pariah.
 His nearest neighbor is strenu- ous and belligerent widow who keeps sheep. In consequence the line be tween their two ranches is as clearly defined as was the dead line at Libby prison.
 Upon one occasion, however the widows sheep strayed upon the &t- tlemans range, and the old ranch er's rage was great. He denounced her as trollop."
 This epithet as applied to herself came to the ears of the widow, and. rowing vengeance, she hurried home to search for the word in her dic- tionary. But her dictionary knew naught of trolops," so she sent away for larger edition and had it freighted in.
 The new dictionary when it came was as silent upon the subject of
 trollops" as the old one. so the wid- )w saddled her horse and rode some 20 miles to consult a ranchman whose educational advantages had been

GOV. HAeERMAN ACCUSED.
It Is Asserted That He Has Been Con nected With Gigantic Timber
 Land Frauds.

Santa Fe. N. M, March 20.-The fight In the lower house of the legis lature on Gov. H. J Hagerman cul minated Monday afternoon in the adoption by vote of 13 to 10 of re port to investigate the governors al leged connection with the disposal oi seven thousand acres of timber land by the territory to the Pennsylvania Development company of Pittsburg The report, which is bitter in it's ar raignment of Gov. Hagerman, finds that he signed 23 deeds conveying part of the timber land and affixed the seal of the commissioner of public lands thereto without warrant of law concluding that the disposition of the lands in the manner mentioned was a fraud upon the people of the territory and It's institutions. The report re commends that the district attorneys bring action to set aside the deeds or the ground of illegality and fraud ir their procurement, not only in the case of the Pennsylvania Develop ment company but also those deeds made by the previous administration and which involves the title to almost a hundred thousand acres of the best territorial timber lands. During the adoption of the report a personal en counter took place on the floor of the house between the leaders of the op posing factions. representatives H. B Holt and A. J. Hudspeth, but they were quickly separated. The governor did not obey the summons to testif, before the legislative committee.
