Inquiry was made yesterday by TfMEs re-

Mistakes.

There is one common ground on
which we can all meet-we have all
made mistakes. In fact, large por-
ton of the worlds history-and the
saddest part of 1.-THE record OF mis-
takes. Philosophers have discoursed
of, poets have sung about, and preach
ers have denounced mistakes, since
man had speech. Bob Ingersoll had
lectured on the Mistakes of Moses, ="
Sankey has sung-''The Mistakes of
my life have been maryland still
the human race goes laundering along,
kicking at hats with bricks under
them, betting its money on the wrong
horse, voting for constituencies demo-
gogues, and getting left generally.

be without effect-but we feel we

endorse this) that if you contemplate
a Journey, no matter from where you
start, you will make no mistake when

May 9th Two men by the name of
Tucker and johnson were arrested,
charged with voting illegally at the
late village election. They were ar
raigned the following day before Judge
Fithian. In the Tucker case the wit.
nesses for the state were Mrs. Fred Pea
body and Eugene Crane, and for the
accused, Tom BATTERY. The proof of
his residing outside of the village was
not sufficiently strong and the accused
was discharged. johnson admitted to
having voted at the village polling
place, but claimed to have done so
ignorantly, thinking be was voting at
the town polls. Justice Fithian gave
the accused the benefit of the doubt,
and discharged him. This no doubt
will end the effort to bring the crook
ed voter at the spring election to
book.
