WILL HE BE PARDONED!

What is the motive behind the pub
licity given the conversation between
w. b. Avant and his attorney at the
State penitcntiary? Or, more proper
ly, what is the motive of the prisoner
and his attorney? In other words
What are they after?" Some
thing must be behind the story given
out by the prisoner or he most proba-
bly, would not have given it out If
nothing tangible is to be gained what
reason has he got to be telling the
gruesome story at this late day? Why
has he not told it before?
Let's look at the situation. Avant
is in the penitentiary with his SEN
tencc staring him in the face, a par
don being last resort Bingham,
the man wro now is to shoulder all
the blame, is free He has eludcd ar
rest until now and it is natural to sup
pose that he will continue to do so. He
occupies just such a position as a
dead witness: he cannot deny charge
nor can he suffer any penalty. Not
only is he unable to defend himself
but, were he guilty, no harm can come
to him since he cannot be found
Therefore, for Avant to place all
blame on Bigham and go free himself
appears to he the object in view.
Witness the insinuating charge of
Avant: that Bigham had been at him
constantly during the day that some
one was intent upon doing him bodily
harm, and then. che does not know
whether his friend (Ringham had
any purpose in view in these stories
or not; ne does not think it is likely"
hut why does he make this suggestion
unless he wants the reader to gath
er from it that Bingham really had
some purpose in view? We are really
to believe that bgham had a sinister
object in view when he kept warning
him during the day
1t appears to us as if Avant is try
ing to place the moral responsibility
forthe crime upon his friend, who is
out of reach of the law, with the OBJ
1ect seeking pardon. The story is
not at all plausible.
In this connection it might be we'll
TO ask, has any real effort been put
forth to catch DR.. Bingham? Is the
forfeited bond, which by law is to be
used for this purpose, being used for
this purpose of has 1t been placed
somewhere else. Something is behind
this tragedy which has never come out
Both of these men should be made to
suffer for their crime.

For some months we have been
publishing extracts from Dun's Week

proved of value to some of our read
ers. We have no way of finding out,
however, but we would like to know
just how many of our subscribers read

better to place before our readers the
market conditions as they exist than
by these extracts. We hope that they
are followed closely by all of our
readers, especially our cotton raisers.

NOT A BAD IDEA.

For strangers in the house OF
commons Mr.. Cowan's suggestion OF
an indicator" is welcome. No one
but the speaker and the doorkeeper
of the press gallery can name any
and every member who rises to adj
dress the house (and the speaker
names him only to suppress him,
and the doorkeeper has got his pho
tograph from the daily press). The
house should have its indicator, as
the cricket field. An evident board,
with the names of the batsmen, and
for the benefit of the late arrival
the latest score.-London Chronicle.

Superintendent Of Schools

To the patrons and voters of
Dewey county.
Believing that Superintendent
of Schools must be acquainted
with the duties and office work in
order to bring about the most eff
cient results; and that he las we'll as
the teacher, can do his best work
the second term; and further believ-
ing with a number of my f:-iends)
that as Superintendent has to do
with the directing and developing
of the Young mind; and that as the
school system of Dewey County is
now in its infancy. it would be to
the interest of the entire county to
have a man in office acquainted
with the work. | hereby announce
myself as candidate for the Office
of Superintendent of Schools of
Dewey County. subject to the de-
cision OF the voters at the primary
election June 4tl 1912.
Yours for good schools,

NEW PLANET Is LOST.

The astronomical world has found
and lost new planet and now the
observatories of the world are train
ing their telescopes on the heavens in
the hope of again locating the
strange little traveller. The new
planet or asteroid, as astronomers
call it, was discovered by Palisa of
Vienna, and his discovery confirmed
by Pecula of Copenhagen. Accord
ing to the best calculations the PLAN
ct is lively traveller and has adj
vanced SO rapidly toward the earth
that it has distanced observation and
is now lost track of.

The mailman, having possessed
himself of an ak, approached the
grand piano. The master sat apart,

aloft, and with all the energy of in
sanity brought it down upon the

HATS MOSTLY IN ONE COLOR
One Small, Vivid Touch of Display Is
About the Only Thing Permissi-
BILE at This Time.

Hats show nothing now. They coy
er the head as we'll as they can and
since becoming accustomed TO the
style people like it, Women look odd
with none of the back hair showing,
but oddly is apparently something the
couturier and mOdiste both seek Tor
their clients. Plush and velvet make
the best big hats, while those for
smaller shapes are of fur-if the own
er can afford the fur, for only good
pieces go in hats, and such hat
means a handful Of money. A class
of women wear imitation fur, even on
the head, where the counterfeit is so
not incline to it.
During the last few days note OF
red has been introduced on black hats
for morning wear. This is generally
In a chou of ruby, scarlet or empire
red, and little is employed. There is
no great variety about hats this win
ter All the best are in black and
white and when not that, then in vlo-
let or a rich purple; they remain SIM
pie and require little trimming. The
one color feature is mostly followed.
Shapes are not pretty, but they are
picturesque and fit the head well.
If a color be put with purple it is
dark blue. This combination is put
in dresses, too, and with the two for
embroidery there is often note OF
cerise and yellow, only suggestion
of the latter Plumes are no longer
modest They are long and wide, the
strands sometimes covering the whole
hat.
