Guess Which They Are and Yor
Can Have Them.
Editor Hooking Sentinel:
1t appears to me that the article
signed by the ex officers Of The In
firmary and Childrens Home
charging Rev. Moore with having
falsified with reference TO tho man
ner of conducting these institutions
and the treatment of the inmates,
should be replied to by some one
who knows whereof he speaks, and
is willing to prove it.
Before directing my attention to
Mr.. A. c. Murphy, desire to pro
pound a few questions to Mr.. Isaac
Matthias:
1st-Did you not pay 5000 for a
horse. and for the sake of economy.
fed him rotten hay, give him the
heaves and sell him for $45?
2nd-Did you moi sell horse for
$25 which became heavey. that be
fore was worth 500? ECONOMY !?
3d-Have you not another horse
which ought to be worth $3.50, that
has Become heavy and not worth
over $50?
4th-Did you not on the recon
mendatlon of the committee throw
that hay away? There was no lie
there.
5th-Did You not, after the visit
of the Committee, buy knives and
forks fog the children +? There was
no lie there.
6th-Are You no; now getting
pillows for the children There
WAS no lie there.
7th-Don't you now get fresh
meat occasionally? There was no
lie there.
Sth-Are you rot now remedyine
the evils of fifth, stonch and vermin
that was referred to? There was
no lie there.
9th Have yon not, when on the
streets of Logan, denouncing Rev.
Mo"re's assertions. and the report
of tho committee as q pack of lies
deliberately lied 2
10th-Did you not cell yoarilrg
cattle for S. per head to a friend
of yours. when there were other
purchasers who did not get a chance
to buy ;?
llth-Did you not take the arti.
ticle signed by A. e. Murphy and
others to MIR. and Mrs. Keller and
request them to sign 1t, aud they
refused, and does not the article
say they endorsed 1t, when theJ did
not? Who lied :?
l2th-Mr. Matthias. is not the
farm worth S., 900 less than 1t was
at tho commencement of yonr ad.
Now. Mr.. Murphy, did you not
when you said that you
were not 'hampered or restricted"
in your manage ment of these "in.
of charily?"
If not. did you show horse sense
IN allowing the use Of the hay men,
toned above? Did you use ordi-
nary judgment in allowing the salt
meats to become putrid and fit to
be assigned to the eoap grease bar.
rel. when you say you had authority
to exchange for fish and fresh meat?
Did you show decent humanity il
allowing little. innocent children to
eat with their fingers, and then halt
atarve them. when you were not
''hampered or restricted"
If you were not ''hamrered or
restricted" why did you not kill
some of the yearlIng cattle and let
the orphans and paupers taste them
at lenst, instead of selling them at
S. a hcadg
Finally. Mr.. Murphy. do you
and your wife. Florence Wolf, Miss
Ida Goss and JENNIE McBroom de-
sire to assume the responsibility for
the miamanagement of these chari
table institutions, by not having
been ''hampered or restricted" as
you say?
DR.. DollIson, in his article "Pic-
MIC at the Orphans Home, says =
Sc TT matron left the Home a few
weeks ago, and zce could not pro-
cure another until two or three
days after our picnic. We have
good matron now and things will
look up again as usual"
Now, the DR.. uses "our" and
'we.' so / presume him to DO one
of the Directors. instead of one at
tending to the professional duties
pertaining to these instit utions, and
| would like to warn him that the
people of the county do not desire
t. have ''things look up again as
usual" but they desire reform and
