Pullman is well represented in the
list Of candidates who have filed in
this county, especially in the demo-
cratic column.
Thomas Neill is a candidate for
reelection as judge of the superior

is the general opinion that he has
made good and is entitled to a re-
election.
NJ. d. Henry and Mark Whitlow
have both filed for the democratic
nomination for county commission. :.
in this district. Mr.. Henry under
stood that Whitlow would not accept
a denomination and SO entered the
race, but later Whitlow reconsid-
cred his announced decision and
concluded to file. Both men are
we'll qualified TO fill the position.
d. d. Kmball, of the firm of Kim
ball & Roth, has filed for the repub-
lican nomination for county coron-
er and will receive a big vote in
Pullman and the surrounding
country.
Miss Elizabeth Mckay has filed for
the nomination of county superin-
tendent of schools on the democratic

position in the primary. In view of
the great race which she made two
years ago against J. o. Nation her

ton on the republican ticket He is

Want More Paving

Now that the ice has been broken
and the contract let for paving 20
blocks of Pullman streets the de-
mand for street Improvement is
spreading and there is strong talk of
petitioning the council to create an
other improvement district TO in
clude two blocks on Kamiaken street
from the y. p. tracks to Spaulding
street, and Whitman and Spaulding
streets between Kamiaken and Star
Route streets. When the people are
given a demonstration of the cleanli-
ness and comfort of paved streets.
there is very likely TO be a demand
that the Improvement be extended to
all parts of the city.

Realizing that his dishonesty
would soon be found out, he took

BET HIS MONEY ON SURE THING
THEN STOLE TO GET EVEN
Uniontown Banker Caught in Postoffice At
New York. Sick, Hungry and PenniIess,
He Was Glad to Return.

Arthur F. SCHNEIDER, formerly as
sstant cashier of the Fidelity State
hank of Uniontown, on Tuesday en-
tared a plea of guilty to the charge
Of grand larceny and was sentenced
by Judge Neill to term of from six
months to 10 years in the state re-
formatory at Monroe.
There Is an instructive story con-
nected with the downfall of this
Young man. A few weeks ago he was
trusted and respected citizen, with
the certainty of being promoted to
the position of cashier of the bank
in which he had been employed. He
was quiet, steady-going young man
without any bad habits and appeared
to have a bright future before him,
when last June he started on his an
nual vacation. He went to Spokane
and on the invitation of friends visit
ed the Alan race track. He had never
bet on horse race, but yielded to
the temptation of the touts to place
some money on sure thing and
lost $500. He went back to Union
town, but couple of touts scented
an easy victim and followed him with
alluring promises of how he could
win back what he had lost and a lot
more. Again he yielded to their per-
suasion and took $1,000 from the
bank, which followed the $500.
Again the touts came to Uniontown
with plausible explanations of how
the money had been lost and assur-
ances of winning it back. With the
hope of winning enough TO make
good his deficit he took $4,000 more,
which was also lost
