IT ID said that Cone, the champion,
made 100 miles in 26 hours, commencing
on Saturday night and closing on Sun
day. Possibly he did, and there is no
good reason to doubt that Cone is not as
good walker as the many who gulled
the New York people at Madison Square
Garden. Cone has made considerable
money during the last week and if his
success does not turn his head and wean
him from his legitimate business, his
head is made of better stuff than his legs,
The walkers perhaps could not strike
auurner place in the union at this late
day where they would draw as large an
audience. There may be amusement in
seeing men walk, but like classical music,
it must be of so refined a Kluu es ~ Ue
above the average mortal.

I now becomes our solemn duty to
loeI up the private life of Joe Rankin
aIdsay all the mean things we can of
hin-Lake Shore Times.
1K above no doubt was designed
as sarcasm on the custom which obtains
at resent and its import is not to be
catered from the words it contains.
I'm my event we have nothing to do
wit the editors intention and quote the
vols as predatory to some comments
on mistaken conception of duty on the
par of editors. 1t is not the province
of paper to be q scold and it is no
moe its duty to carp and say ill,natur-
ed things of political opponent than
it s the duty of the editor to be
personally a caviler and general nuisance
Though inveterate and loud-mouthed
hostility. A paper should be respectable
In Is utterances, candid in its statements,
disposed at all times to do justice to
everybody whether that justice consists
administering castigation for wrong
dong or bestowing commentator when
deserved. Desert in either case should
deermine what shall be bestowed. A
newspaper should not be cowardly and
above all should not be sycophantic. A
lick -spittle man is excelled in meanness
by only one institution, "a ick-spittle
newspaper. A private grudge should
never lead to public vilifcation nor
to 9Id personal liking blind the editor
conception of duty lower, more degrading
or reprehensible than to feel that in q
political campaign vituperation and
personal detraction fall within the line
of newspapers duty. 1t is dragging
a newspaper down to the level of scold,
making it scandal monger, vehicle
of dirt,a tool so mean as to be beneath the
contempt of honorable men. Let OPP
posing politicians burrow into private
life, and carry the pot of lamp BLACK
with which to blacken character. Papers
have q higher mission.

THE prohibition candidate for congress
from this district will probably poll $50
votes in this county. 1t is doubtful
whether he will average that number in
the other counties. At the very highest
lbs vote in the district will not exceed
900. This is quite an increrse in the
prohibition vote, however. One year
ago it would be folly to call prohibition
convention; now that party makes a
nomination and prepares for vigorous
campaign. Such papers as the Nord
Weston are largely responsible for this
state of affairs.

A SPECIAL meeting of the city board
was held on Monday evening to consider
the claims of the multitude of Rathsack's
captors to the reward offered by the city.
Nothing was definitely settled and no
claimant received the reward, it being a
matter of impossibility to settle the con-
ficting claims III so short time. 1t was
finally agreed that the money should be
deposited with the clerk of the court and
that the city attorney should move the
circuit court to compel claimants to es-
tablish their right to the reward in court.
This was deemed the wisest course, as
in the event of the city boards action
being reversed, the reward having been
paid, the claimant in whose favor the
court decided would hold the city re-
sponsible, and thus the reward would be
paid twice.

WHOEVER feels interested in such ar
ticles as dolmans, cloaks, surtouts, Rus
sian circulars, ETC., should take look at
the many different styles of fine garments
at Schuette's. It would be advisable for
those ladies who do not want to invest
just yet to make up their minds firmly
before going there, that they will posi-
lively not buy anything in that line, as
otherwise those extremely handsome
goods might prove too tempting, and
they would have cloak before they had
made up their minds to purchase. IL

WHO captured Rathsack? is now as
great puzzle as shat older and equally
importanl one, who struck Billy Patter-
son? Presumably. the person who as
sanlted Billy had good reasons to
withhold the information for which the
people were SO anxious But in the
case of Rathsack the trouble is that
there is reward. The captors will no
doubt go laundering down the ages with
the celebrated unknown who put head
on Billy and has managed to keep his
identity secret.

people of that neighborhood have been
looking for prohibition candidate, and
have turned their gaze on Henry Sand
ford of this city. 1t also adds that the
$500 he is likely to receive for the cap
ture of Rathsack will add greatly to his
availability. The Pilot was the first pa.

THERE has been considerable talk OF
extravaganza in the appropriation for
harbor and river improvement this year
and perhaps with some reason. No
extravaganza can be charged in the

conscientious reports. The people Of

On the 18th of last mouth the store of
Beach & Burke in Clarks Mills was
burglarized and $130 in cash taken. The
proprietors kept the thing quiet in the
expectation that the guilty person would
cease to be cautious when it was apparent
no attempt was made at detection.
Suspicion finally rested upon fellow
who had been spending some time in
the village, the person who made the
balloon ascension last year On the fair
grounds. He is worthless fellow, earns
but little money and spends it as soon as
earned. On Tuesday he came to Mani

a cent was found upon his person. The
suit against him was discontinued and
