WHITE RETURNS
WITH $16O,OO0
in BONDS

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Assistant City Treasurer Ed
White came back from Olympia
Saturday night with 100000
paid him by the state for the
100000 bridge and paving bonds
delivered.
Owing to an incomplete state
ment of the city's bonded debt
made by Controller Meads he
came near not getting the money.
The assistant attorney general re-
fused to pass the bonds. Meads
was finally reached on the long
distance telephone at his home.
He was forced to go to the office
and from the records make a
statement by telephone and
through the vigorous assistance
of Governor Lister the state at
torney finally approved the bonds
and the city got its money.

suit, which was prosecuted in the
federal court here and finally
carried by Bedford to the U. S.
supreme court.
Attorney General Bell appeared
for the state. J. NJ. Ashton, being
the heaviest landowner, appeared
for himself and his associates
with others.
Ashton's side won out. The
title was quieted, and the syndi-
cate has been dickering ever since
to sell those lands; in fact, has
sold some of them.
But now, five years after the
suit started, in the 18th hour of
the Legislative session, the politi-
clans slip through a little item
hidden in the middle of the sup
Elemental appropriation bill
handing over to Ashton $6,077.23
for alleged services to the state,
which in reality were never rem
dered to the state, but were rem
dred, if at all, for the benefit of
j. M. Ashton.
1t was Ashton's land the In
dians were trying to take. Ash
ton defended his property and
kept it, and now he Is grabbing
over $4,000 of the people money
for saving his own land.
1t remains to be seen whether
Governor Lister will knock this
11th hour grab in the head.

st. Patrick is the patron saint
of the Irish because 1t was he
who converted the land from it's
paganism to the religion of the
Catholic church to which it has,
clung ever since the fourth CEN

banished snakes from Ireland and
to have been an inspiration to

IhuIt "AiO WIN y ~
And so, while the two husbands
are trying to make friendly ad-
justment of the strange heart tam
gle, just as they would adjust
business controversy, the two
beautiful women involved stand
forth as bitter rivals, one eager
to save her reputation and the
other fearful of losing the hus-
band she loves in spite of his al
legged misconduct.
All of the people in this
strange quadrangle of love are
conspicuous members of st. Louis
society, and all bore unblemished
regulations until, just the other
day.. Mr.. Holman published an
advertisement in the. newspapers
saying that he would no longer
pay his wife's bills, and declared
that he had disowned her because
she had broken her marriage
vows. And then he did an aston
ishing thing. He announced that
he was going to see that his un-
faithful wife got "a square DEAL"
although he hadn't had one him
self.
With a friend listening, as a
witness, on an extension tele-
phone, Holman called up DR..
Gradwohl and the two of them
calmly discussed Mrs. Holman's
future. Holman says that he
stated the case plainly to DR..
Gradwohl. He explained that he
could no longer live with Mrs.
Holman, and would have to di-
vorce her. He pointed out the
social stigma that would attach

that he recognized the justice of
Holman's demand, and that he
