the board for and the board expects
to provide a male teacher for the
High School which will require an
additional amount for the salary
fund.
This explanation is made by us
that the public may know that the
increase requested is for the protect
ion OF the lives Of the teachers and
school children and for additional
educational facilities.
We hope that all will cheerfully
assist us in taking those necessary
humane and life saving provisions,
and that they will vote for the IN

let the children and teachers be pro-

midst of the disastrous and heart
rending results of fire such as have
visited upon other communities.

PARTLY BETRAYED HIS TRUST.

James Bidweu is charged with em- bezzling a horse, saddle and bridle. On Saturday George Duvall, the man who was lately shot by Charles Dixon sent Bidwell with two horses to be taken to pasture near Peoria. Duvall happened to be out in that direction on Sunday and could find only one of the horses. On his return to town his brother saw Bidwell and asked him about it. He said that he had left both of the horses there, but he was assured that they were not there and that Duvall believed he had held out horse on him. He added that the saddle and bridle belonged to another man. Bidwell then said that he would bring that part of the equipment back. He did not do so, and complaint was made against him of getting with the horse saddle and bridle.

RATHER WRAPPED IN
 SILENT MEDITATION
Galpin's Snake Responds to Caresses Of California Joe, But Still Eschews Food.

1 Several days ago The Republican
 had story about an abstemious rat ltlesnake that had neither eaten nor drunk for over a year. The fact was
 not guess work for it had been kept in a box for q year by a man named Byers, who forgot to feed it and finally discovered the box in the barn one day and brought it to the store of A. w. Galpin in this city.
 The snake has proved quite an at ] traction at the store and manV have called to see it. Yesterday a young man called at the store with a nice little spring chicken in his hand. He
 said he had heard about that snake
 and felt sorry for it. He thought it
 was a crime that the few rattlesnakes
 left should have to starye to death in
 this land of peace and prosperity. He donated the chicken to his snakeship and placed the bird in the same show
 case, expecting to see a mad onslaught land the satiating of d vigorous and
 well groomed appetite
 But the rattler is evidently a theo- isophist and an adept at that He has lconquered such carnaI passions as ap- ipetite. He has forgotten how to eat land is too old now to try and learn
 over again, giving himself over entirely
 to higher thought. The snake has
 been tempted with toads, frogs and
 chicken and MT. Galpin is trying to trap some mice for him in the hope
 that he can eventually find his weak i spot, but so far the mice seem to have d hunch and refuse to take the bait. 1 The diffidence of the snake yester- 1 day finally aroused a feeling of com- passion for the chicken, in the heart of Mir Galpin, who would fain have he leased the bird from it's hot and dis agreeable quarters. but could not do so without exercising a confidence in the good behavior of the snake that he was not yet convinced would not be betrayed, notwithstanding the rep tiles seeming inoffensfveness and it's religious disposition. About that time Joe Brunner, better known as Calif- orna Joe, the champion wing rifle shot of the world and professional snake charmer, chanced to come along. He had suit case full of choice snakes he had picked up here and there as he took a fancy to them.
 MT. Galpin formally introduced Joe to his snake and the exchange of greetings was cordial. Joe took the chicken out of the case first and then pulled out the rattler and caressed him fondly before an admiring crowd. Joe says 1t is one of the most polite and best behaved snakes he has ever met, which speaks we'll for the society found on the Arizona desert.

REPORTED suIcIDE-The widow

REPORTED SUIClDE.-Thc widow of Cclestino Ceschetti died at her home on South Fifth avenue about 430 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The in cident was not reported to the sheriffs office or policce station and The Re publican office did Not learn Of it un- til late last evening when(the story of the death was accompanied by a re- port that t was a case of suicide. It seems, however, that the coroner was not called and the report may be without foundation According to the story the woman had been under treatment for an affection of the eyes and it is said by some of her friends that she took poison, it being intimat- ed that she had swallowed something intended for the local treatment of the eye She was a Mexican woman and Hans Herlick is the legal guardian of her children, whose father was em- ployed by him for many years.

He writes that both he and Mrs. Smith are having a fine time, but there is so much to do and so much to see that they haven't had time to rest any and are thinking about coming back for that purpose. Mir. Smith just previous to his writ ing had been spending some time very pleasantly and very profitably in at tending the Pan-Anglican church con ference, being a delegate to that body. It was his intention to visit the rela- tives of MT. Keen in Staffordshire, the two chancing to be cOuntrymen, though not acquainted until they met here. MT. Keen comes from the inn mediate locality where Bass ale Is manufactured known and sold the world around. In fact, he has had some experience as a gardener on the Bass estates, which are large and magnificent, the two Bass brothers preferriDg to spend their money in large grounds and buildings and giv- ing employment to many people rather than hoarding it and paying the gov ernment an income tax. And it jolly well suits the people of Staffordshire.
