THEY OVfcRDID IT
The result of the yellow Journal s
trusade of lying and abuse iiKalnst the
•onduct of the war Is what might have
fceen expected- They have over-reach-
ed themselves and Instead of command-
ICS the attention of the people of the
United States they excite only pity
largely tinctured with contempt.
The Chicago Times-Herald relates
the following as one. of the r jasmin
**hy the piteous tales of the yellow-
crate now exoltes only laughter:
Editors who have been publishing
stories of army mismanagement and
outrages perpetrated upon the troops
have been Invited by the commission
of inquiry to testify before that body
and supply It with any Information
they may have concerning the dere-
liction of officials or the III treatment
Of troops.
Apropos of thin the folowlng story of
an army outrage was published ufter
the arrlvul of the troops at Montuuk
Folnt:
One of the fever patients in the hos-
pital who had fallen into a comatose
condition, wax pronounced and 'j* an
incompetent medical officer. The re-
mains were hustled Into a pine box
Without a covering, which with others
containing the deud bodies of fever
Victims was placed outside the ht spltal
tent and exposed for hours to the
broiling sun.
Tht agony of the supposed dead man
Wttb exciuclatllig. He realised that he
%v*s about to be burled alive In the
•hallo w trench which had been dug to
frecoi . the bodies of those who had no
relatives to claim them. After endur-
ing mental and physlcul torture for
tiours Borne soldiers came to move the
box in which he lay. By a supreme
ittort he managed to slightly raise an
arm und move his fingers. The soldiers
■at/ the motion, and Instead of carry-
ing him to the trench, they took him
to the hospital tent ami dumped him
en the ground, where he lay tor hours
without attention, and finally died, a
Victim of neglect.
When the authorities at Washington
read this story their indignation was
aroused to a high pitch and an inves-
tigation was begun Immediately.
Inquiry at the hospital revealed the
fact that no soldier by the name given
In the story had died at the *>Bpltal,
but that such a man was a patient who
Was rapidly convalescing.
The roporter was questioned and said
a soldier had told him theCtory as he
had written it, and gave the authori-
ties the name of his Informant.
liefore ordering a court-martial,
Which was practically decided upon the
Investigating officer sent for the soldier
and asked him why he hau circulated
such an outrageous falsehood.
The man admitted that he had told
the story to the reporter, but added he
had alio told the reporter that he had
drsatr.pt it.
Thus ended the investigation of one
pf the most horrible outrages of the
war.
The sessions of the Peace commis-
sioners at Paris have been very peace-
ful. in fact, of their deliberations it
might be said:
"Around Hebago's lovely lake
There lingers not a hreese to break
The mirror that th«* waters make."
If Colonel W. J. Bryan had waited
until the democrats of New York, in
convention assembled, had got done
having fun with his pet hobbv, he j
would not have needed a physician to
tell him what was hurting him.

OKLAHOMA'S EXHIBIT AT OMAHA
A LASTING BENEFIT.
The benefits that will accrue from the
Oklahoma exhibit at Omaha .are far
the demands of the peace protocol. We
are opposed to hauling down the
American flag anywhere Its folds may
be rightfully spread, that the world
may have the effect of our exalted
civilization and superior education and
enterprise.

CITY SCHOOLS
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Mayor VanWyck, of Greater New
York City, made a statement to the
effect that the commissioners of ac-
counts had discovered gigantic frauds
In the asphalt paving contracts In that
city. Just what point the good Mayor
Is driving at 1b hard to conjecture. He
certainly did not expect a democratic
Administration without more or less
frauds and thefts
SOME CHANGES MADE IV THE
PERSONNEL OF THE BOARD.
The board of education met last night
In regular session. Absent, Buxton,
Beland and Frow. Bills for Incedental
expenses were taken up and allowed
J. A. Plckard was appointed a member
of the board, In the attached district,
In place of J. W. Scothorn resigned.
The board made an order fixing the
afternoons of Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday, of this week, as half dny hol-
idays for the school children that they
may attend "the fair. It was ordered
by the board that twenty stoves at
a cost of $-1) each be purchased for the
school buildings. The contract to fur-
nish stoves was awarded to the Spen-
cer Hardware Company. The purchas-
ing committee was authorized to re-
lieve bids for a complete heating np«
paratus f« r the central school build-
ing. as It Is believed to be In the Inter-
est of oconomy to warm the building
with a heater. It Is deemed advisable
to try the heater In the central build-
ing first and follow with the others,
one each year, If this proves a success.
Superintendent Campbell's report
shows about 1100 pupils In attendance
at ihc city sohools.
An older was made that for the pav-
ment of teache.s for the firht month s
salary, warrants be drawn on the ter-
ritorial, district and separate funds, In
which there Is cash on hands to redeem
warrants.
The board has adopted a new form
of communication between teachers
and parents. Blank forms will be fur-
nished perforated through the center,
•the teachers to use one blank In com-
municating anything to be said to the
parent, regarding the conduct of the
pupil and the other blank the parent
can fill out and return to the teacher as
a reply. Prof. Stevens of the high
sclu-ol was authorised to puro'tasc,
through the purchasing committee,
material for apparatus for a depart-
ment of texldermy to be located In the
basement of the high school building. '
which is set apart for the purpose.
Prof. Stevens has organized a class
In practical texldermy, which collects
specimens on Saturdays for the mu-
seum of the high school. The plac" of
Wr. J. Frow made vacant by moving
away from the city, will be filled by
election at the next meeting. The board
finds the schools in good running order

adding of some new features has made

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
1. The republicans of Logan county
in convention assembled, hereby re-as-

the record and principles of tlte repub-
lican party. No republican platform or
pledge was ever made which was not
fulfilled, to the greater fvosperltj and
happiness of the American people. In
the campaign of 1896, the republican
party said sound money wal necessaf*'
to national stability and prosperity.
The people, by a million and a half
majority, passed upon this question In
favor of sound money—and now we
have the stability and uniform pros-
perity promised by the republican
party. The same platform said a pro-
tective tariff and reciprocity were j

a depleted public treasury, and In-
creased bonded Indebtedness of the
government In times of peace, are the
inevitable results of a democratic ad-

strated that the republican party Is
the only party capable of properly
managing and controlling the great

in war and peace, as embodying the
