by the court to be locked up for the
night in separate dormitories.

be remarked that the Bellingham case

Two great criminal schools arose
from the moral chaos of the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries in Venice and
in other parts Of Italy, when ever
the state itself sometimes approved
OF secret assassinations by poison.
They became famous for their
knowledge OF poisons as we'll as by
the notoriety which came to them
from their associations with the iend-
ish Tofana. She was the inventor of
one Of the most destructive and most
subtle poisons Of the period, aqua
Tofana.
This famous murderess. q Sicilian
by birth, in her early years, had re-
sided at Palermo, where she was
known to have delved into the Sec
rets Of poisons. Later she went to
live in. Naples. and by the exercise of
her profession she made such q name
for herself that history will never
forget 1t.
This woman's poison, the aqua To-
fana, was distributed by her espe-
cially to young married women de-
sirous Of Kidding themselves Of their
spouseR. The better to conceal the
nature Of her poison she put 1t up in
small Walls marked Mama Of st.
Nicholas Of Bari" which she orna-
mented with an image of the saint.
Quickly the fame Of this drug spread
to Rome. The ladies of the imperial
city availed themselves of it's use to
get rid Of obnoxious husbands or to
make way for others more acceptable.
In 1863 sc many young husbands died
in Rome that an Investigation was
started by the authorities Of the city.
which resulted in the discovery of q
society Of young matrons banded to-
gether for the purpose Of poisoning
their husbands. These women were
under the direction Of one Hierony-
ma spara, a pupil Of Tofana. spara
and many Of her society were put to
death after confessing, under tor
ture, to numerous crimes.
In q letter to Hoffman, Garelli, the
physician to Charles vi. Of Austria,
writes that his sovereign informed
him that while Governor Of Naples,
during the trial Of Tofana, he had an
opportunity of terminating the docu-
ments Of the case and that he found
from them aqua Tofana to be crystal
lied arsenic. The symptoms Of the
poisoning by this solution as record
ed by Hoffman correspond in detail to
symptoms Of arsenic poisoning.
From Italy this poison found it's
way into France, where in 1870 there
was another era of secret poisoning
by arsenic. This time its perpetrat-

Will They Do 1t.

While many are wondering
about what laws the present Legis-
lature will pass, all of western
Kansas is keeping its eye on the
mortgage tax law. 1t is not only
double taxation, for both the
owner OF the property and the
holder of the mortgage pay taxes,
but it keeps interest rates up high,
keeps capital from coming in, and
drives still other capital out. 1t
takes a lot of money to develop a
new county, and any law which
keeps needed capital out, is a hind
rance to us, not a help, w e
should boost for the repeal of this
law, because Gov. Stubbs vetoed
such a law as we now want. and it
will take plenty of boosting to
pass to this year.

FIRE AT GUYMON
Courthouse and Many ol
the Records Destroyed.

A few minutes before / o'clock
Saturday morning, the village Of
Guymon was reused by the fire
alarm. The courthouse was then
burning rapidly. The blaze SEEM
ed to have started in the south
side of the building in the Office of
the county clerk. By the efforts
of the citizens, number of the
records we're saved. The frame
building was total loss of about
$1,000. Just how many and what
records were destroyed is not vet
known, but it is believed that the
tax rolls were all saved, while
most of the records of the Regis
ter of Deeds were destroyed.
The fire will be a costly one for
the county, for it means a new
courthouse and the added expense
Of copying up the records from
the abstracter's books t h ere.
There were some of the books in
the vaults, which were old and de-
fective, and these are believed to
have been destroyed. Coming at
such a time, just before the new
officers took charge, and following
so bitter q compaign as that of
last fall, it is openly talked in
Guymon that the fire was the work
of an incendiary. A special ex-
aminer was auditing the books at
the courthouse last week, and had
not completed the work Saturday
when the courthouse bu rned.

Liberal School Notes.

Quite a number of new pupils have
enrolled since the holiday vacation.
This makes some of our rooms in the
grades very full. After the end of the
second week Miss Mabel Glenn will
have charge of the fifth grade and
Miss Wells who is now In the fifth
grade will take part Of the third and
fourth grades. This arrangement
will relieve the most crowded grades
and will give the teachers chance
to do better work.
The mid term examinations will
come next week, Each pupil in the
school will be required to take this
final for the first half of the year
If he does not make an average OF
Is per cent he will be put back to
where he began the first of the year.
The new plan Of having two finals
o year makes it so that a pupil that
is weak In his studies is put back
just a half year instead of year as
formerly
There seems to be some misunder-
standing about children entering the
primary. The primary will not en-
roll new pupils until mid term, or,
January 23nd and any time during
the first few weeks after that date.
The teachers and pupils of the
graded school wish to express their
sincere sympathy to Mr.. Will Petty
and family in this their great loss OF
wife and mother. Especially does
our sympathy go out to the little
ones who have been under our care
during the school year.
Visitors in the second grade this
week were: Mrs. Il. j. Smith, Mrs.
Edison, Mrs. Friermood, Fern Hack
EFT and Mary Friermood.
The second grade now has an en-
rollment Of III.

The Latest Sugar Trust Scandal.
Az the investigation into the charge
THAT the sugar trust has unlawfully

sugar lands proceeds public presump-
ton win be that the trust IL guilty as
charged. For the people have come to
regard this trust a. an offensive out
isw, utterly beyond ordinary consid-
grafton az a business institution.
It is charged that In the Philippines
case the trust has used and abused
the government; that It has proceed
ed on q land policy that, II continued,
would give the sugar interests a mo-
nopoly Of the Philippine sugar bust.
ness. and that the purchases have
been made on a ruling by Attorney
General Wiokersham that In obviously
contrary to law.
So far as the trust Is involved IN
these charges, the accusation Is en-
ltirely plausible. Tor many years the
sugar trust has been the backbone Of
excessive protection duties. Through
the tariff It has used the government
to extort from the people. for II has
lawfully collected vast tribute-an
average Of about ssO,oOO.O0O per year
In prices far in excess OF It's rates

ing for technical laws IN the tariff.
and through some Of these laws the
trust has had refunds amounting to
millions, the refunds being for duties
collected by the government. but for
which the trust already had taxed
the consumers. In the refund bust
mess the trust enjoyed double graft.
The country win hope that the con-
