The Grip, Did you ever have the grip? Did you ever have a lot of cold chills running up and down your back playing tag with each other aud when they got tired of your back go around to front side of you and play the same old game, and every bone and joint and marrow inside of you aching, and your head aching with a 50-horsepower and you'd think it would burst the next minute? If you ever had these delightsome feelings you just how the editor of this paper felt Sunday and Monday. We used drastic means and beat the grip but it left us, oh, SO weak. However we are at work somenow afte a fashion. Mrs. John Bowden left last Saturday for Lindsborg, where her daughter, Miss Murrel, has been attending school.

Palmer had over $300 About $200 Concealed on His Person and Was Found When Searched at County Jail. Detective John Lucas returned yesterday afternoon from Lindsborg with John R. Palmer, the deputy postmaster at Eskridge, who has confessed that on last Monday he passed a forged check for $500 on the Bank of Topeka of this city. Palmer was turned over to the state and lodged in the county jail. About $300 of the money he got on the check has been recovered.

Palmer says that he sent $140 in a letter to Los Angeles, where he was intending to go, and the police have kuowledge that $60 on a diamond ring. This can be regained SO that the bank will get practically all its money back. When he was arrested Palmer gave Lucas $97 and said that was all he had. When he was searched at the county jail yesterday afternoon a little more than $200 was found concealed about his person.Capital, Sunday, Feb. 19.

John made a mistake. In fact, he made several mistakes. When it was first learned that John had committed this crime our people didn't like to believe it, but when the papers containing an account of the forgery and the passing of the check, people had to believe it. John knew better. He knew what his undoing would be and where it would place him.

But perhaps he thought he could escape justice by fleeing, but even then the law would have found him, but he tarried and was captured. Then to deceive the officials told a falsehood as to the amount of money he had or what he had done with it. The forging of Senator name, the papers said, was a clever forgery, at least it seems to have been clever enough to deceive a llynx-eyed cashier, who has been cashing checks and drafts so long that he is not often easily deceived. John worked his graft like an adept and the only good thing he did was to admit his guilt. The way of the evildoer is a hard one.

John knew better. He must now take his puuishment. He will have little, it any, sympathy from his acquaintances here. In ad- crime in Topeka, we unhad become badly involy- Bear married, Wedneshome of the bride's parMrs. T.
