Public opinion in regard to the
murder of Charley Hane is rapidly
changing since the release of Mar
tin DIETRICH. A great effort was
made to get enough evidence to hold
the young man for court which, as
we have stated in previous issues of
the News, proved fruitless. Now no
effort is being made to convict or
find eliminating evidence against
him, but new theory has arisen.
A young widower is now suspected.
He IS tall and has frequently since
the crime acted suspiciously. This
is the description we now learn, and
all that the persons whose suspicious
have been aroused will tell. 1t is
said this young man was in the store
the night the inventory was COM
pleted, and the amount announced,
when young Hane dived down in his
pocket with his hand and remarked,
Il will have to go deeper than my
pile" 1t would seem to casual OBJ
server that the young man had the
money with which to purchase the
store in his pocket. At all events,
the man now suspected is receiving
a large amount of quiet attention.

Coon JOKE ON SNYDER.-We do not
mean on the individual Snyder, but
good joke on Snyder county. All
the Reporter readers know the itin-
Grant missionary, Brother Hershey,
whose field is the United States, On
tario and takes in Snyder county too.
For the love of the cause, Brother
Hershey, like st. Paul, breaches free
of charge and distributes his own
original tracts. While in Snyder
county in his good work it was dur
ing hot political campaign. When
he enters a dwelling it is with the
scriptural salutation, and he an
nounces his object at once, and en-
tering the abode of one of the sover-
eigns of Snyder the missionary put
the question at once and direct
(Which side is this house on, on
the side of the Saviour or on the
other side ?"
EFF he is running on the Republi-
can ticket, we have three votes for
him, and if not, then we all vote for
the other fellow" came the response
from the head of the family. Cen

II think the worst case of absent
mindedness | ever heard Of" says the
landlord of the Lockwood house, "was
that of one of my guests one day last
week. She was Green Bay woman,
about 40 years old, and she had a
horse shoe with her which she'd found
as she entered the bus. She brought
it along, she said, because finding a
horse shoe while on a journey was the
surest kind of good luck. But what
do you suppose she did next morningY
She reached under the pillow, got her
false teeth, packed them away in her
valise and put the horse shoe in her
mouth. And, mind you, she never
discovered the mistake either, until
she went to breakfast table, and there
'calked' her jaw with the toe of the
shoe while trying to get away with a
beefsteak." ."-Ex.

dent he's got to hev eddecashun and

This settled the question that the
school was good thing and should
stay, but there was one more speech
to come yet. A venerable old man
who leaned heavily on homemade
cane, slowly arose and said
"Pve fit Yanks, and I've fit bars

1t was all settled, and as school had
been going week, the people wanted
the pupils examined to see if they
had soaked in" any knowledge. A
trial proved that four of them knew
that the world was round, five could
name the two great oceans, three could
count up to twenty, and the remand
er had almost learned what an island

chairman suggested that ask the
teacher few questions. realized
the situation and determined to 60

"How is the earth divided ?"
"Into land and water"
"Add twenty and ten."
"Thirty, l reckon"
"Name three or four rivers"
"The Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee

"Name the continents.'s

had adjourned to the store the chair

said:
