full beauty, and the exquisite face and
golden-brown hair and great blue eyes,
which were as fascinating as on the

eager look and happy laugh she

The awful groaning stopped, and an
ashen pallor spread over Bob Brown
ley's face. Before l could catch him
he rolled backward upon the floor as
dead. Bob BROMLEY, too, had gone
beyond his limit. I bent over him
and lifted his head, while the sweet
woman-child knelt and covered his
face with kisses, calling in a voice
like that of tiny girl speaking to her
doll: Bob, my Bob, wake. up, wake
up; your Beulah wants you" AS I
placed my. hand upon Bob's heart and

Mr.. Steel did favor the Ross institu-

No one charges that the Treasurer

an idiot would make such charge.
But it does look as if Mr. Steel came
to the relief of MIR. Ross after the fail

Mr.. Steel was financed by Mr.. Ross, of
the Title Guarantee & Trust Company.
Just how true that is no one knows
but Mr.. Steel and the officers of the
trust company.
Mr.. Steels office was in the trust

usually be found in and around the

deny that. Neither can it be denied
that he deposited twice as much money
in that one institution as he did in the
other 39 banks where he had state
funds.

TRIUMPHANT SCIENCE.

A report, given more or less Gre
dance, comes from Walla Walla
hospital, TO the effect that Wood OF
the Weston Leader was the victim of
successful surgical operation which
resulted in the removal of quart of
angle worms from his left leg. 1t is
further stated that the Weston editor
is looked upon as wonder by the
nurse girls in the institution which
has SO suddenly leaped into public
view from enviable notoriety of being
the home of the scientific surgical op-
GRAFTON, together with the astounding
fact that the patient was practically a
bundle of fish bait. 1t is not to be
wondered at that the nurse girls con-
slider Wood wonder and the world at
large will agree with them in their
correct diagnosis of the class to which
he belongs. The peculiarities of the
colonel will now be readily understood
by the public. In the past it was no.
ticea BILE that Woods peculiarities were
more or less assertive in damp weather.
On rainy days his left leg absolutely
refused to respond to the natural laws
and practices of navigation and would
totally ignore the criss cross perambu-
lations of its brother. the right limb.
The belllgerancy of his left leg has
caused the colonel much humiliation
and lost him many drink. To be
caught in the center of muddy cross
walk with his left foot glued down,
and compelled to anchor there until
his crop of angle worms had satisfied
their famished thirst in copious
draughts of moisture, was more than
boon companions could stand for; SO
they drank to the health of the fish
bait and left it remain in the mud
where it belonged. Now that the
surgeons keen knife has laid bare and
removed this wonderful secretion in
the eolonel's anatomy and given to the
world one of the rarest feats the pro-
fession of saw bones has achieved, the
reason of Woods rash action of prom
enading the streets of Walla Walla
with his left foot cemented to beer
keg, has been scientifically, and at the
same time satisfactorily, explained.
