COMMUNICATED.

There are between ten and eleven
thousand dollars worth of general
warrants isseud in 1884, and few
in 1895. for teaching and the most ne
cessary school supplies which are yet
unpiad by the district. Every dollars
worth of these warrants has accumu-
lated interest to the amount of about
s1.20, making the present debt against
the district from this source between
$4,000 and $4,000. and at present rate
of payment this obligation will hang
over the district for more than 25
years to come.
The sad feature of this is that this
money was for teaching at a time
when money was scarce and services
were valuable. That was Is years ago,
and on account of the financial condi-
tions of the district, these warrants
were not salable except at heavy dis
count. consequently likely most of
them are yet in the hands of the wo-
men and men who rendered the SER
vices. and. during all this time. have
been waiting on the district to pay
them for their work. | do not be-
lieve the payment of these warrants
should be any lonsger delayed. True,
the district needs money for new
scqolo rooms, for supplemental texts,
for lirary and for more teachers to
keep pace with the growth of the city.
To do this let us quit the free text
book business. sell what we already
have. amounting to nearly $4,000
worth, convert the money into added
school facilities and sell the bonds for
the distarict and pay our honest debts
to those good women who taught our
schools when the district was so badly
embarrassed that it could not meet its
obligations. o. L. Waller.

Editor Herald II wish to call the
attention. of the citizens of Pullman 10
the action of the city council Febru-
airy 18th in regard to residence paving.
An ordinance passed last summer es-
tablishes the conditions under which
paving districts may be formed on
petition of the property holders. but
many were deferred from acting under
it by the fact that at that time the
city could not pay for any part of the
improvement. At present however,
the council is willing to undertake a
limited amount of paving under the
usual plan of assessing the pro rata
cost of the quardangels and crossings
TO the city.
AS considerable time is required for
surveys, estimates, etc, before ac-
tural work can begin on such a pro
ject. ! wish to urge anyone who in
tends to petition for paving to present
a proper petition at the next meeting
of the council, March 4th.

MISSING GIRL MAY BE SUICIDE.
Virginian Threatened in Letter to
Drown Herself.

NORFOLK, Va, August 9.-"When Won
get this letter 1 will be in the sea, be-
cause l have nothing to live for now
wrote Miss Della Dunn. a pretty nine
teen-year-old girl. who came here from
Cliff on Forge last May, and through Po-
lice .Matron Seeley was given a home by
family at Virginia Beach. The girl
disappeared from the cottage where She
had been living last Friday. Saturday a
letter was received at police headquarters
in which she declared she had learned
that a man In New York for whom she
had been waiting for months In the hope
that he would earn enough money to
claim her as his bride was dead and that
she had decided to join him.
Before the missiNe was received Chief
kizer had been asked by the Virginia
Beach authorities TO search for Miss
Dunn at the urgent request of the family
who had given her shelter and who were
distressed and anxious over her dlsap-
pearance. No clue as to where MISS
Dunn went has been secured, and though
there was no basis for the theory save
the statement in her letter, there were
many at Virginia Beach who believed
that the young woman had committed
suicide in the surf.
The girl is described as blonde. with
large blue eyes and a slender figure
When last seen she wore a white shirt
waist and skirt and a large black hat
She was small and dressed neatly.

NEW YORK, August 9.-Charles Sny-
der. head keeper in the reptile house
at the New York Geological Park. took
his life In his hands yesterday after
noon, and, without assistance. performed
a surgical operation on Rex, the deadly
King cobra.
This was after more prudent and more
learned scientists Of the zoo had decide
ed that the risk was too great to be I'M
dertaken.
Rex has been in the possession OF tho
Geological Society for nine years ana
is one of its most valuable specimens.
Five years ago 1t nearly killed keeper.
Snake Develops Wen.
Several days ago wenlike swelling
developed on the cobra's neck ana grew
steadily worse. Raymond L. Dtmars.
curator, realized that only a surgical
operation would save the serpent. Dr.. W,
Reed Blair agreed, but both decided that
the snake was not worth a human life
Snyder's opportunity came yesterday.
He had thrown large blacksnake INFO

dinner. Rex had difficulty in swallow
ing. II had about half the smaller rep
tile down it's throat and seemed helpless
to get rid OF the rest OF II. Figuring that

Snyder Turns Trick.
Rex was thrashing about In its effort u
down the black. but Snyder managed 10
stand astride the snake just above his
head, and then with few quick deft cuts
and slashes the work was done. Snyder
Jumped back and through the little door
In the rear. which he slammed just In
time. for the cobra had conquered the
black snake and turned to kin the man
who had saved its life.
Scores of persons had witnessed the
operation without realizing that they
were looking at a man in imminent peril
OF death.
When Snyder told Ditmars, the curator
said: Man you are crazy; You nave

knocks upon the back door. Mrs. Annie
