say that he will investigate TO find out
whether his deputy was telling the
truth or not on the witness stand is an
absurdity. To profess TO believe that
in this matter some "chargc" is be.
ing brought against Deputy Sheriff
Forbes is ridiculous.
There is nothing to investigate. The
case is fully made by the testimony of
Deputy Forbes himself. That is all
there is about it. The only question
remaining is what Sheriff Emery pro-
poses to do. To say that he is going
10 investigate is an imbecility. That
would merely mean that Sheriff Emery
does not intend 10 displace this law
breaking deputy of his. The now sheriff
win 90 into office in little over II
month. 1t looks as ii Sheriff Emery
is determined to postpone action, cvade
his lawful duty, and defy public senti-
ment, by Keeping Deputy Forbes IN of
flee during the remainder of his sheriff
term. And VIC can well believe from
Sheriff Emery record, that he is quite
capable of thus defyins the public
sentiment and the law.

EMERY TO INVESTIGATE, >

Deputy Sheriff Forbes testified on
the stand il the Maerovich murder trial
that he is in full partnership in the

must undoubtedly have known Of this
fact. And yet Sheriff Emery now pro-
fesses TO have known nothing about
il, and says that lie will investigate
into the truth of 'Ethe charge
In this Sheriff Emery shows his usual
obtuseness. it is not charge" that
is made III this matter against Deputy
Sheriff Forbes. Il is not a matter that
needs any investigation or any proof.

that he Is in that partnership and that

nership is as sated In fact, the bust
ness IL which he is partner is oven
worse than developed on the witness
stand.
And now what is it that Sheriff
Emery wants to investigate? Does he
want to have proof brought that Deputy
Sheriff Forbes perjured himself when
he testified that be is in that business?
Does he want to show that Forbes did
not know what kind of business he
was in when he. acting as sheriff, sold
out for the benefit Of himself as cred

is there, in fact. to investigate in q

TEE BOARDS MEAeER JUSTICE.

It is a painful and distressing sort
OF burlesque that the Board Of Educa'
tion has been passing through for the
past two weeks with respect to the
pay of the grade teachers. The final
result of raising the pay of the grade
teachers an average OF two dollars and
fifty cents per month, when those grade
teachers were entitled to q raise OF
from twelve TO fifteen dollars per
month, is u disappointing outcome Of
the raise III tho school-tax limit, and
shows tardy and inefficient action by
the board
1t seems very curious that the board
would allow this matter of the increase
of the grade teachers pay to run along
for almost two years aud then suddenly
wake up to the Importance Of keep
ing its agreement in this respect, Just
when the election for half Of the mem-
bers OF the board is coming on. We
think it can be taken as probability
so strong as to amount practically to a
stated fact, that the board would have
done nothing in this matter at all If it
had not been that the election was just
coming on and the question of q raise
of pay for tho grade teachers was
raised. The board. therefore, was
frightened into doing. even thus tardily,
this small measure of justice to the
grade teachers. And yet even this was
accompanied by raise all along the
linc, including others in the teachers
force who were literally paid before.
We agree decidedly with Mr.. Moyle IN
his judgment that the schedule of pay
is top-heavy; that those at the top arc
favored by getting more money than
they should have, and this at the cx-
pcnse of the real teaching force IN the
grades But ii is pretty poor board
Of education that will wait almost two
years to do an act of Justice and COM
ply in small measure with what good
faith demanded should have been done
long ago IN fulfilling its agreement to
raise the pay of the grade teachers
when tho tax limit was raised by the
Legislature, this In response TO septi-
mont which was worked up by the
grade teachers themselves. Tho net re-
suit of il all is that the grade teachers
have put more money into the pockets
of other people by their efforts to get
justice for themselves than they were
able TO get in their own behalf, This
long delay in even responding feebly
TO the fair demands of Justice and good
faith is certainly ample and abundant
reason for a righteous complaint
against the board Good faith de-
mapdcd that this raise should have
been had more than u year ago, aud
also the raise should have been far
greater than it is.

But the most cheeky, impudeut, and

is the bald, lying denials Of the church
organ and those who speak for the
church cause with respect TO the schools
and the insolent pTetense that only by
allowing the church TO remain in con

can real ponparusanship be had, The
idea that the progressive part of the
population Of this city, the majority
comprising lis enlightened and school
loving people. must be kept beneath the
heel Of the church under the pretcnsG
that the church is nonpartisan. and
the enlightened portion of the people,
the school apprecisting and school pro.
viding portion. must be kept out of
their Just control OF the schools, under
prcteusc that this portion is partisan,
is one OF the fanatical, bigotcd notions
OF the church advocates and apologists

The bigoted partisanshlp which now
rules the board under the preposterous
name OF nonpartisanship is defended by
the church organ in its usual false,
evasivc, and misleading style, That
organ even had the gall not long ago
to deny that the religion classes of the
Mormon church had ever been Intruded
into the public schools Of this State.
This denial was made in the face Of
the fact that the State Superintendent
stated officially that upwards Of three
hundred and thirty of such classes had
been obtruded into the public schools.
OF course. as soon as he ascertained the
fact he ordered that these religion
classes should no longer remain IN the
schools. The leading authorities Of the
Mormon church gave out u public state
mcut acquioscing in the order OF the
State Superintendent OF Public Instruc
ton, and pledged that those religion
classes would be altogether withdrawn
from the public schools. SO far as it
can be learned they were withdrawn for
the most part. But our information is
that they arc being gradually edged
into the public schools aguin, using for
this sectarian purpose the buildings
constructed by public taxation, the fur
niture bought by the public at large
the lights and fuel provided ut the pub
ijc expense, aud the days instruction,
when these religion classes are brought
IN. is cut short to give place to them.
We have not beard that any of the pub,
lie schools Of this city have been in
vaded by these religion classes; but We
are informed that some of the schools
OF the county are 80 invaded, and it
will be but short time until these
classes are III the public schools of this
city. provided the church sectarinn con-
trol Of tho schools is continued.

With swing of the hand and a
hoarse shout of "Dispatches," he was
beyond them, bending low over his
saddle pomme1, his eyes on the dust
cloud of the moving column. The
extended line of horsemen, riding in
columns of four, came to a sudden
halt, and he raced on. A little squad
of officers, several of their number
dismounted, were out in front, stand
ing grouped just beyond the summit
of slight elevation, apparently look
ing off into the valley through some
cleft in the bluff beyond. Standing
among these, Hampton perceived the
long fair hair, and the erect figure
clad in the wellknown frontier cos
tune, of the man he sought-the
proud, dashing leader of light cav
airy, that beau ideal of the sabreur,
the one he dreaded most, the one he
loved best-Custer. The commander
stood, field-glasses in hand, pointing
down into the valley, and the dispatch
bearer, reigning in his horse, his lips
white but resolute, trotted straight up
the slope toward him. Custer wheel
ed, annoyed at the interruption, and
Hampton swung down from the sad
die, his rein flung across his arm, took
a single step forward, lifting his hand
in salute, and held forth the sealed
packet.
dispatches, SIR he said, simply,
standing motionless as statue
The commander, barely glancing
toward him, instantly tore open the
long official envelope and ran his eyes
over the dispatch amid a hush in the
conversation.
Gentlemen he commented to the
little group gathered about him, yet
without glancing up from the paper il
his hand, Crook was defeated over
on the Rosebud the 18th, and
forced to retire. That will &C

For brief space the two remained
still and silent, their faces rejecting
repressed feeling. Then the voice of
command sounded out in front; Cal
houn gently withdrew his hand from
the others grasp, and with bowed
head rode slowly to the front of his
troops.
In columns of four, silent, with not
a canteen rafting, with scabbards
thrust under their Stirrup feathers,
each man sitting in his saddle like a
statue, ready carbine flung forward
across the pommel, those sunburnt
troopers moved steadily down the
broad coulee. The troopers riding at
either side of Hampton wondering
still at their captains peculiar words
and actions, glanced curiously at the
new comrade, marveling at his tight
~ pressed lips, his moistened eyes.
Yet in all the glorious column, no
heart lighter than his, or happier,
pressed forward to meet a warrior
death.

CHAPTER XXXilI.
The Old Reoir1enf-

BY the time Hampton swung up the
coulee, he had dismissed from his at
tention everything but the business
that had brought him there. He ex-
perienced no fear, no premonition of
coming disaster, yet the reawakened
plainsman in him kept him suffi Gent
iy wary and cautious. He possessed
a soldiers proud confidence in his reg
lment-the supposition that the old
fighting Seventh could, be defeated was
Impossible; the Indian did not ride
those uplands who could do the deedi
Then there came to him nameless
dread, that instructive shrinking
which a proud, sensitive man must
ever feel at having to face his old
companions with the shadow of a
crime between In his memory he
saw once more a low-ceilinged room,
having table extending down the
center, with grave-faced men, dressed
In the full uniform of the service
looking at him amid a silence like
unto death; and at the head sat a
man with long fair hair and mus
tache, his proud eyes never to be for
gotten Now, after silent years. he
was going to look into those accus-
ing eyes again. He pressed his
hand against his forehead, his body
trembled; then he braced himself for
the Interview, and the shuddering cow
ard in him shrank back
Away to the left something was
moving, dim, shapeless dash of
color 1t might be Benteen. but of
Reno's columns he could perceive
nothing, nor anything of Clusters ex-
cepting that broad track across the
prairies marked by his horses hoofs.
This track Hampton followed. press
ing his fresh mount to increased
speed, confident that no Indian spies
would be lettering SO closely in the
rear of that body of cavalry, and be-
coming fearful lest the attack should
occur before he could arrive
He dipped over a sharp ridge and
came suddenly uBon the rear guard.
They were a little squad of dusty,
brown-faced troopers, who instantly
wheeled into line at sound OF ap-
preaching hoofs, the barrels of their
lowered earbines glistening in the sun.

Strive to Be Cheerful.


Most persons are Of the opinion that
If man is not favored by nature with
cheerful spirit, he cannot pretend to
be cheerful. Yet this is not really the
case, and there is many man who is
at present weary burden to his rela-
tives, miserable through the carkirg
care of some bodily ailment, perhaps,
or some worldly misfortune, who, if he
had grown up into the idea that to be
cheerful under all circumstances was
one of the first duties of life, might
still see a pleasant enough world
around him. The disseminated worries
of morose and grumbling person
may very likely shorten his days and
the general justice of natures arrange
ment provides that his early departure
should entail no long regrets, says
New York Weekly. On the other
hand, the man who can laugh keeps
keep him. To person perfectly
healthy laughter comes often. Too
commonly, though, as childhood is left
behind, the habit fails, and a half
smile is the best that visits the
thought-lined mouth of a modern man
or woman. People become more and
more burdened with the accumula-
tons of knowledge and with the
weighing responsibilities of life. but
they should still spare time to laugh.

When One Spends Money.

One would think that money would
be saved in prosperous times when
there is plenty of it about But no,
that is not the time when it is saved.
1t is then that it is spent, says Apple
tons. Everybody spends it-govern-
ments, railroads. corporations, capital
lists, housekeepers, house builders, col
lectors- People expand their wants in
such times, and satisfy some of them,
and then is when it is most of all i'm
possible to live on anything a year.
But after all the money has been spent
few times over and has begun to be
scarce, and borrowing. has come to be
a serious matter, and folks have much
less to spend and no expectations;
then everybody groens and begins to
save, not only trying desperately to
squeeze back inside of the bounds of
income, but to pay back what was
spent in expectation of time when
saving would have become convenient
To most of us that time never comes.
And yet there are things for which we
spend more than we can afford, that
really do justify our expenditures, so
that after the money has been spent
and we are pinched for the lack of it,
we would still rather have what It
bought than have the money back.
