stating that his son Willie, aged l3 years,
who disappeared several weeks ago and
who, it was supposed, had been stolen and
was being held by New York crooks for
heavy ransom, has been found neal there
alive and well by Pinkerton detectives,
and that the boy was now ON his way
home. 1t is now supposed he was in

from all over the country Of suggestions
and advice as to the manner of procedure

LaddOnia Skating Rink,

Our Rush Hull correspondent week
before last threw our neighboring
city of Laddonia into o state of ex.
element by rejecting or the skating
rink and the people who attended it.
We have been to Laddonia and looked
into the matter. finding that our cor
respondent must have been imposed
upon. We find that the rink is con-
Quoted in an orderly manner and
that the very best of people attend it.
We have before US the endorsement
of the rink by the best men in the
town. How our correspondent came
to let any one impose upon him We
fail TO see, but n thing is certain,
and that is the people of Laddonia,
as far as we could find out, stick up
for the rink and say that none but
the best Of society attends it.

Athp
Suggested by the charge of our contemporary
that the LEDGER received $500 for editorially
booming the wa;er-wOrks.l
'Half a league, half u league,
Half a league onward"
All in the past year
For only a few hundred;
Dat of the valley of death
For a paltry Eight Hundred!
Then up went a shout
That some one had ~blunder'd-
Twenty-nine fogies swore that
The town had been plunder'd.
"Into the valley of death
And get back that Eight Hundred!"
Ours was not to make reply,
Ours not TO reason why,
Ours but to do or die
And save the Eight Hundred!
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Fiash'd all at once in air;
Claimed it was all a snare
Charging for newspaper space, while
All the town wondered
Whence came all this smoke?
(All from a little joke
Told (?) to a brother bloke,)
Who now filings it back, that
We got the Eight Hundred!
For fear We might tell n lie,
Ours was not to make reply;
We had to 'root-hog-or-dle"
If we saved the Eight Hundred
Water works to the right of us!
Water-works to the left of us!
Water-works behind US!
And not a cent have we plunder'd.
We even fought so well
That all but twenty mine fell
Victims to our shot and shell;
We came out of the jaws of death,
Back from the mouth of shoel,
And we might just as well
Have got the Eight Hundred!
When will our glory fade?
Oh, the ''wild charge" they made!
ALI the town wondered
How Cook could prove charges made
That the LEDGER mar had said
He got the Eight Hundred
Seven hundred and three behind us,
The business men to the right OF us.
The city government to the left of US,
The fleeing twenty-niHe in front of US!

Our contemporary says: when,
In our opinion, an enterprise will
prove beneficial to the public interest
we shall most cordially commend it
without one dollar of compensation.
If. in our judgment, it is not a meri-
torious proposition we shall he free
to say So" The editor of that paper
said he thought Il third class charter
would be a good thing for Mexico.
Not a line of editorial did he write in
favor of it. He bet the wine it would
not be lost by more than so many
votes. That was the extent of
his commentator. If 1t had carried
the new ordinances would have been
printed in the LEDGER, as We have a
contract for tie city printing. But
we do not intend to insinuate that as
the reason he did not commend it
any more than he did. No more
would we say that he misrepresents
Vest because Vest would not vote
for him for revenue collector. Per-
haps in the history of the editor of
our contemporary he vas never found
supporting q imam or a measure"
not worthy the support of such a man
with such a record. We care moth
ing about this. He does as lie pleases,
we presume. We know that he has
been thought to support men whom
the most venal editor would want
more than $500 to he found backing
