Honor to whom honor is due.' The cap
ture of the burglar Hughes should have been
credited to Captain Anderson, of the Mer-
chants police and Officer Dyer. of the regu-
trying to break into Palmer fruit store,

others, were kept idly waiting for nearly an
hour, for a witness who might nave been
secured in ten minutes had there been u tele-
phone in the court house.

career, but he has before delighted audiences
here with his grand thought and keen wit.

Labor Question" Everyone should hear
him. The lecture is given under the auspices
and for the benefit of the Y. M. G. A, which
is another urgent reason for giving it a
hearty support. The house should be
crowded, and the association given a rousing
benefit, for those thus aiding will gain much
for themselves in the enjoyment of this
gifted orator.
