The Unlawful Slaughter ofDeer.

We understand that large number OF
deer have been rund own and caught this
winter and that nearly all have died
Many of them have been does with fawn.
Although these deer have not been shot,
we believe that the persons catching
them have pl aced themselves liable to
the same penalty, $500 fine, as though
they had killed them outright We have
been informed that one man has caught
20 or 80, and we hear of large numbers
that have been caught by others. Some
thing should be done to put stop to this
wholesale catching or it will prove more
destructive than hunting them with
hounds which has been so loudly COM
planned of and so Justly condemned,

Washington Notes.

There is rumOr that First Assistant
Postmaster General Tyner will 60 on
| the bench of the court of claims. He
will be succeeded by Capt. Henry, of
Ohio.
Ex-senator Howe has notified Secre-
| tary of State Blaine of his acceptance of
| the appointment of Monetary Commits
siOner. He will leave for Washington i'm
few days, and will sail with the other
Commissioners April 2. a,
President Garfield said to promi-
nent Western Senator, "PolYgamy must
spot on our institutions. must be fin
your stand in the Senate light this
evil until it is crushedmptV kistence."
If it is decided to have special
session of Congress, successor to Minis
ter KassOn, at Vienna, will be agreed up
on at once. The rumor is that Minister
Bingham will be transferred to Vienna,
and some eastern man be sent to Japan,
possibly Mr.. John Russell Young.
Owing to the prospects of an extra
session of Congress the subject of the
speakership of the House has been re.
yived and is again fruitful topic of dis
cussionsand speculation, rating in impor-
tance only next to that of the extra
session itself. BY sort of mutual under
standing the contestants for the speaker
ship are thus far limited to four gentle
men-KassOn of Iowa, Burrows of
Michigan, Keifer of Ohio, and Hisc0ck of
New York.
In the sundry civil appropriation bill
Congress intended to appropriate $3.50.
600 to erect fire-proof building for the
Pension Bureau, but it cannot be made
available because of the fatal omission
of the CONJUNCTION "and" in the item. The
clause In the act reads as follows: For
the purchase of suitable site in the city
of Washington for the erection of brick
and metal fire-proOf building, to be used
and occupied by the Pension Bureau"
etc. By the omission of the word "and"
after "WashingtOn" the whole apprOpri-
alton of $250,O00 is made to apply to the
mere purchase of the ground, and not to
the erection of the building as we'll. as
was intended. The Quartermaster Gen.
eral can proceed to the selection and pur-
chase of site, but he must then stop un-
til Congress, by correcting the defect in
the appropriation item, empowers him
to proceed with the construction of the
building.

Railroads..

The correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press at Alpena writes that the bonus
of $4,000 asked from the people of the
shore counties to secure the building OF
railroad to Alpena will certainly be
raised and that the road will certainly be
in running order before the opening OF
next winter. He says, instead of the old
Jewish watchword, Every man to his
tent" it will be, every man to his
pOcketbOOk."
The Bay City Tribune says you can
just bet that the Bay City & Alpena rail
road will be certainty.
GRAND RAPIDS & INDIANA RAILROAD.
The Grand Rapids Eagle says that the
Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad com.

Louis street, fronting on Ottawa, Op.
pOsite the gas works and the Michigan
House, at cost of between $4,000 and
$4,000, and have just completed the ar
rangementS for the purchase. The tract
is 126x264 feet in size. On this the COM
pany will erect as soon as it can this

THE DETROIT, MACKINAw d MARQUETTE
William B. Moran. one Of the directors
of the Detroit, Mackinaw & Marquette
railway, is here. Mr.. Moran says the
road will be completed before expiration
of the period set by the state. A force
of men is employed this winter as large
as at any time last summer. Grading
cutting and blasting is going forward
ties and bridge timbers placed, and it is
expected an excursion train will be run
from Marquette to Detroit about Septem-
Der 1. The company is having built an
iron ferry boat of great power and some
what improved designed, but modelled
after the famous Detroit river ice ferries
The hull, or rather the forward portion OF
it, will be of the spoon bowl shape. II
will therefore easily make its way
through dense ice foes and will be prOpel,
led by two submerged screws. Nine of the
stations upon the road have been named
after citizens of Detroit who were first
to engage in the enterprise of building

Death of David Farrell.

Our citizens will be panied to learn of
the death of David Farrell who passed
away about 3 o'clock this morning. Mr..
Farrell was brought in from his camp
last Tuesday in very critical condition,
suffering from jaundice. He, probably
not being aware of the deadly nature of
his ailments, remained i'm camp without
medical treatment until the disease had
was brought home, that it baffled the
skill of his physician and he fingered
along until this morning when he passed
to that bourne from whence no traveller
returns.
The deceased was born i'm Dundas
county, Ontario, February 9th, 1921, and
consequently was sixty years of age the
9th of last month. He removed to Che
bOygan in 1869, and was therefore res
ident of our village nearly twelve years
and was one of our best known citizens
always taking an active part in all
matters of public interest. By the suf-
frages of his fellow citizens he had
been elected several times to positions
of trust and responsibility, always fill
ing the positions to the satisfaction of
all. He, with his sons, erected what is
known as the Farrell block, at the time
the best business block in the village.
The bereaved relatives have the sym
pathy of the entire community, who join
with them in mourning his death.
The funeral will take place from the
Methodist church next Monday forenoon,
at 10 o'clock, leaving the family resi-
dence at 915 o'clock.

As will be seen by the Board of Supervisors
proceedings, the new sheriff's bills comes to
nearly S240 for the first two months of the
term. How great saving is that over Demo
cratic administration. Talk is cheap but facts
are facts Democrat.
The above appeared In their issue of
the 10th inst. and would have been
noticed before but for lack of an OppOr-
tunity to get at facts. Having got the
data we propose to give few facts that
they may be able to compare results of
Democratic and Republican administra-
tiOn of the Office, According to the above
the bills of Sheriff Mute, Under Sheriff
Calvin and Deputy Sheriff Smith, all COM
bined amounted to NEARLY $240." From
this should be deducted 500 that was ex-
pended upon repairs Of the sheriff's resi-
dence that were absolutely necessary.
This would leave the actual amount of
the bill nearly 1920.
We find that the bills Of the Under
Sheriff alone for the first two months of
his term, i'm 1879, amounted to $347.95,
or $127.95 more than the bills of Sheriff
Mute and his two under officers. "Talk
is cheap, but facts are facts and are
hard to get over.

Gus they viii obtain the signatures of the

claim amuses Conkling men.

FINE WORK AND FAST.
Important Changes in Railroad Time East, and
New and Unsurpassed Advantages Offered
The Public

The change in the time schedule going
into effect the 22nd, on the Baltimore and
Ohio, cannot but prove very popular one,
as it offers many new and unsurpassed adj
vantages. For instance, the train which
formerly left Chicago at four o'clock and
five minutes, under the new schedule, does
not leave until five fifteen. Some concep-
tion of the lightning time made by this
train may be CLEANED fram the fact that it
reaches Washington an entire night in adj
vance of the trains of competing lines
leaving Chicago at exactly the same time.
AS is well known, all the eastern lines run
through trains east. leaving at 5:15. and
the B. & O., while arriving at Washington
so long ahead of all the other roads, reach
es New \ ork at the same time. Another
immense advantage possessed by the s.
o. is that its trains run through solid from
Chicago to Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York. There is no change
of cars of any class whatever, the entire
journey. On other lines the only cars run
ming through without change are the
sleepers. The B. & O.. being under sin
gle management, is enabled to run its
trains without change, and those who do
not care to 60 to the expense of palace
cars, cannot but appreciate the comfort
and convenience of not being forced to
night, or in fact, at any time. The regu
lar coaches on the B. 81 o. are
models of luxurious and elegant
construction, being for the
most part new and of the latest designs.
The track has of late been wonderfully
improved almost countless tons of steel
rail having been put in, and everything
brought up to the very highest standard
Direct connection is made with the 5:15
train by all the great railway lines travers-
ing the States of Illinois, Iowa Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnetota,
etc. The B. 81 o. run its own line of
sleeping cars through from Chicago to Wash
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, and the general verdict of the travel
ing public is, that in magnificent proper
tions, superb furnishing and luxurious ap-
poiptments they excel any cars ever plac-
ed on wheels. The same may truthfully be
said of the new parlor cars just placed upte
the road Nothing finer in cars construd
ton has ever been seem The dining car
line, in and out of Chicago is derservedly
most popular, as the service is simply all
the most exacting could desire. The meals
are giving at the uniform price of
seventy five cents each and embrace all the
luxuries as well as the solids of
the season. There is no mater
ial change in the morning train
from the city, but the Fast Express from
New York reaches Chicago an hour earlier
than under the old schedule.

THE NEW CIVIL SERVICE REFORMER.
The Nation


There can be no doubt that the argu-
ments of Conkling and Platt against the
removol of Mr.. Merritt and the nomination
of Mr. Robertson, in so far as they are
based on the good of the service and on the
presidents civil service reform professions,
are all sound, and coming from any other
quarter would be very effective. Coming
from that quarter they are very like exhor-
tations 0 honests sindustry, addressed to a
crowd on the street by faro bankers whose
rooms have just been closed by the police.
But at best they contain nothing to pre-
pare anybody for the resignation of their
seats, so that the announcement of their
intention has all the effect of a ludicrous
surprise. They are not, on any theory of
the constitution or of party fealty, respon-
sible for the presidents nominations, or
even for the action of the senate ON them
They are responsible simply for their own
votes and arguments on the motion to con-
firm. The theory that senator must re-
sign and appeal to his legislature
If he cannot get the president or a
majority of his colleagues to agree
with him about a nomination of which he
highly approves, would, if generally adopt
ed, make the transaction of business in the
senate impossible. That Senator Conkling
should resort to such a mode of expressing
his chagrin, and compel Mr.. Platt to join
in it, is simply another exhibition of the
childishness which is said to have caused
him to leave an invitation of Mr. Garfield's
unanswered. and sent him to his room in
anguish because he saw him (Mr. Garfield)
riding in a carriage with Mr.. Schurz Per-
sons of his temper are not fit for public
life. The proper sphere for them is a
monastery, or some solitary pursuit like
metaphysics or sheep herding. Mr.. Conk-
ling has, however the satisfaction of know
ing that he has made a genuine sensation,
and of course some of the triumph comes
TO Mr. Platt. The newspapers gave from
two to three pages to it, while declaring
vigorously that it was of no sort of eonse-
euence. The occasional correspondent
of the Herald who writes the blackguard
attacks on the president, thinks it, however,
one of the great events of the age, and sees
among its probable consequences the resig
nation of the whole cabinet and ssa new
deal" But then the struggle over Malone
was the greatest event of the age, and put
the very existence of the government in
peril, and the Conkling sensation will in
few days excite smile, as the Malone
sensation does.

JAIL BREAKING.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Commission
er of Internal Revenue Raum this morning
learned that twenty five or thirty men went
to Morganton, Fannin g. Co, Georgia,
while the superior court was setting; broke
into the Jail and released prisoners charged
with violation the internal revenue laws
and burning property of Stewart, formerly
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue; also
two men have been released from the
Pickens county jail. The commissioner
instructed Collector Clark of Atlanta to
hunt down and bring to justice the parties
engaged in the jail breaking and employ a
posse to aid the United Stated marshal
