A LOST COLONEL.

A calculation that Col Jack John
sons forfeited $4,000 cash bond is
better to have in the country than
the colonel, who announces in Paris
that he has left it for good, will be
accepted in many quarters as high
finance We can not dissent from
that opinion, but for purposes of
contrast it is necessary to say that
what is regarded as high finance in
some quarters is not so regarded in
all. The elements which proclaim
the ''wide-open town" to be the
highest of all high finance will des-
sent loudly. They will point an I'M
erring finger to undoubted figure;
showing that $4,000 changed hands.
every two or three days in the
colonies magnificent South Side re
sort in Chicago. And they will an
swer the argument that the colonel
was the only one realizing a fl
nancial profit out Of these great
money exchanges, with the conten-
tion that che kept the money in
circulation" And there is no deny
ing that, even though it can be
demonstrated that the colonel kept
the money circulating out of a
large number of pockets into his
own.
That half-world to which the colo
mel belonged, and to which he will
continue to belong no matter where
found, will offer what it thinks high |
er reasons why he should still be |
in our midst. 1t will claim that both |
personal liberty and home rule are
violated in his expatriation. 1t will
recall that his conviction was not
for miscegenation, lawful in Illinois,
but for bringing from Pittsburg to
Chicago a white woman entirely
willing to come with him. That
world will ask if an American citi-
zen who is the champion of the
world, a large taxpayer, and the
owner of four automobiles, should be
forced to keep out OF his native
country as a means of keeping out
of Jail, and it will answer itself, to
its own satisfaction, by saying that
a land which deprives the artistic
of its personal liberty
can not hold an artist like Col
Johnson whose powers as an i'm
pressionist were felt by every critic
studying them at close range, whose
bold strokes with his brush often
resulted in high red-colored effects,
and who could give such delusive
effects of distances in his landscapes
that the cognocenti often erred in
trying to locate his fairgrounds.
The bitterest drop in the bottom
of their cup is that it was not Chi
cago, and not Illinois, which Danish
ed him, but the government at Wash
ington, asserting power which a
sovereign State could not. in this
they will see threat to the wide
open town" which will, for them,
forecast panics, financial depressions,
and long continuing loss of profits,
They will fight against the growth
of "paternalism" in government, and
fall, if fall they must, without doing
an honest days work or abating a
jot or title of their demand for
personal liberty and likewise home
rule.

PRINTING THE TRUTH.

The Tribune, of Great Bend, Kan
sas has discovered that some of its
readers now and then object to the
way that newspaper is conducted,
claiming that all the news is not
printed, whereupon it prints the fol-
lowing items:
Church News-There is consider
able comment because J. P. Jimpson
gave only $40 for the pastors salary
this year. AS he escapes taxation
on two-thirds of his property by
fooling the Assessor he should have
given much more.

noon. She has soaked her piano,
but expects to redeem it when Izzant

If the Tribune continues this i'm

quite likely that before very long
there will be another bleeding in

Grangeville High School Has
Largest Enrolment in History

ever, are about the same in number.
The increased daily attendance is
chiefly in the high school and the
first grade. There has never been so
large high school within the history
of the school. There is now an en-
rollment of SO and still we hear of
more who will enter soon. There are
many indications to prove that this
increased attendance is due largely to
the new school building.
Recently the high school boys and
girls organized an athletic association
for the better promotion of athletics
in the high school. With the hope Of
having gymnasium for games within
few months, large squad is prac
ticing basketball out -off-doors. They
are expecting to match games with the
neighboring towns, but intend to play
all return games after the completion
of the building.
The MeCalley entertainment which
was booked for next Tuesday night ha.
been cancelled. All money will be re
funded to those who have bought tic

Professor ID. f. X. Rice, superintend-

now the attendance in the high school
is greater than ever before with indi.
cations that the total will be materially
increased within few weeks. Speak
ing of affairs at school Professor Rice
said yesterday:
A number Of inquiries have been
received relative to the number of
children in school compared with last

been prompted by discussions on the
new school house. The enrolment for

for the corresponding week it was 4O7

SUICIDE AT COTTONWOOD.

word was received in the city
Thursday from Cottonwood that a
suicide had occurred in the westside
town at about nine clock a. m. The
news received is of meager character
but seems to bear out substantially the
following story: The deceased, Leon
ard Bowles, who had been addicted to
the use of liquor, became respondent
and decided to end his life by the re-
volver route. His body was found in
the woodshed to the rear of the Minis
saloon, where he had been employed, a
revolver containing an empty shell be-
ing found by his side. The coroner was
called and the jury brought in yer-
dict this afternoon Of suicide, the evil
dence being conclusive. The deceased
who has been in this country for the
past two years, was young man of
thirty years and so far as known has
had good reputation.

ATTACKED BY DOGS.

Ben Bunnell was attacked by three
ferocious dogs near the Baker place
north of the court house late Wednes-
day night and narrowly escaped serious
injury. The dogs managed to knock
him down and frightfully lacerate both
legs before he was able to drive them
away. He came downtown and after
having the wounds dressed returned to
the scene of the attack accompanied by
Policeman w. o. Smith. The dogs
however, had disappeared. A city
street is no place for such CANNES and
as Mr.. Bunnell says, had the object OF
their attack been lady or child il
is probably that fatality would have
resulted.
