2 mn BETTER BOND Sheriff Not Satisfied With De France's Security. Shawnee Warehouse Sold and An AssefiHiiient lievied to Square Ip Ac-counts. Chan. De France, under §1000 bond in the second charge against him in which he in accused of larceny of wheat from the Shawnee warehouse, was notified Thursday by Sheriff Cauutt that the bond on this charge was considered in sufficient and that it must be strength ened. He was given a reasonable time in which to secure the required security for his presence in court when called, the old bond to stand in the meanwhile. The bond is signed by .Jos.

According to au agreement entered in to by the farmers wlio hud wheat Btored in the Slmwnee warehouse and tbestock boldera of the company, the people who had grain in store which cannot now be accounted for except through the pecu lations of \V. H. Clifford, the managing agent, find his alleged accomplices, are to be paid "27> cents a bushel for their wheat. In order to settle up these claims, amounting to between .*<>ooo and $7000 at this reduced price, the Shawnee Ware house Company agreed to sell the ware house at auction. This was done last Saturday, the Pacific Coast Elevator Company buying it in at $2105. There were several other bids over $2000. When this was done it was still found necessary to levy an assess ment of f.'H) a share on the 108 shares of warehouse stock in order to meet the claims. The par value of the stock is $20 a share, and it has always been a paying investment until this year, when the big steal of 17.400 bushels of grain was disclosed. It is now a costly wreck to the holders of stock. The Farmers' warehouse at Guy has been purchased by Aaron Kuhn of Colfax. REPUBLICANS AT TEKOA. They Are Capturing Recruits From Democratic Ranks. \eeording to Tekoa visitors, the re publicans of that vicinity are active and growing in strength iv a way which de moralizes the democracy. Before the late fizzling convention of the democrats Tekoa had organize! a strong republi can club, with n membership greatly ex ceeding the total republican vote of 1898; bat after the democratic fizzle it began to grow surprisingly. Old line democrats, like Dr, Chan. James, for in stance, came boldly over then to the re publican camp and publicly announced that they could not longer stomach such democracy. I>ast week live or six former democrats deserted demoralized democracy and placed their names on the republican roll. As Judge Hanna remarked to Brother Goodyear and other fusiouists in the democratic con vention of 18'J8, when a strong pull was made for fusion, "1 must have a politi cal home. If I cannot get it in the demo cratic party, over the fence I go; and 1 warn you, right now, that when a man votes the republican ticket once he is nine-troths republican." Bat Tekoa is not alone in the good work. All over Whitman county former good democrats have ween the light of political reason and the prostitution of the late democratic convention. (LOSE OF THE SCHOOLS. Most Prosperous Term in the His- Tory of the City. The Colfax schools, at the close last Friday, showed the moat successful term in the history of the city. Phis was especially true in points of advancement and attendance. Last year the total enrollment was 644 and this year 678, according to the report of Superinten dent Ransom. The total days attend ance last year was 75,178 and 78,848 this term. It was found necessary to inflict corporal punishment in but .'52 eases of boys and two of girls during the entire term of 36 weeks. This speaks well for the discipline of the schools and the deportment of the children. There were but two cases of suspension, both boys, and none of expulsion. Closing Exercises. The closing exercises, held Friday night at the opera house, brought out one of the largest crowds ever packed into the house. The full program, as heretofore published by the Gazette, was successfully rendered, and every feature heartily received and encored by the audience.

COLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, WASHINGTON, JUNE 8, 1900. GOOD FOR OLD OREGON Heaviest Republican Vote Ever Cast in the State. Both Congressmen Haye Largely Increased Pluralities—Legis lature Safe. Portland, Oregon, June 6.—The Morn ing Oregonian sums up the Oregon elec tion as follows: Oregon has gone republican by in creased mfijorities. With reports yet incomplete, Wolverton for supreme court judge and Bailey for dairy and food commissioner have carried the state by majorities exceeding that given for the republican ticket two years ago, when the war spirit was active to swell the re publican vote to abnormal proportions. For congressman, Tongue in the First district already has a plurality of 2029 votes, while in 1898 his entire plurality was but 2037. In tLe Second district Moody's plurality of the present incom plete returns is 8200, whereas in 1898 he won by only G057. These figures show that it has been a notable republi can victory. Local issues mixed in the election of members of the legislatures that the increased republican vote is not so apparent in those officers, but the legislature is strongly republican. From only one county of the state has the complete unofficial return been re ported—Benton. For all others, includ ing Multnomah, the figures are more or lees incomplete. Early Returns. Portland, June s.—Complete returns from 22 counties out of the 83 in the state show that in yesterday's election the republicans carried the heads of the ticket by at least 8000 plurality. Re turns so far give Wolverton, reputlican, for justice of the supreme court, a plu rality of 7971. For congressman in the First district, Tongue, republican, has 2421 plurality. In the Second district, Moody, republican, for congress, has 5550 plurality. The republicans will control both branches of the legislature and will have a plurality of 22 on joint ballot. The two houses will be made up as follows: Senate—Republicans 20, op position, 10. House—Republicans 80, opposition, 24. The woman suffrage amendment i« de feated. AMONG THE CHURCHES.
