THE HERALD has always taken upon
itself to say good word for the Sixth
District fair whenever it could do SO con-
scientiously; and surely the right of
commendation carries with it the re-
served right to censure. So long as the
association controlling it confines its
operations to licensing the sales of pools
on it's grounds, no one can interpose
successful objections. They are in line
witha popular object of racing. But
when an association of this sort
licenses gambling device known as
the wheel of fortune," and allows
it to be run day after day, to
entrap the youthful and unwary, it must
look for it's endorsement to other sources
than this paper. In the opinion of the
ablest gaming experts, the percentage
against the player is 21a to l all the
time, even when the wheel is a square
one. And report has reached US of a
wheel recently Invented in New York,
which can be 'snaked" go as to stop at
any color or number the operator may
desire. Whether the one now in opera
ton at the track is one of the sort
described we have no means of
knowing. Three weeks ago one Schofeld
and man named John Morales, were
arrested for conducting faro game in
the building adjoining the opera house,
and fined 500 each. Fortunately they
had money to pay their fines, and did
not go to jail. But what kind OF justice
is it that fines and imprisons men for
dealing faro and allows an equally un-
fair game to run in open daylight, in the
eight of thousands of boys and young
men? We certainly are in favor of
agricultural faira, but not of encouraging
such moral agriculturists" as the men
who run wheels of fortune at them.

A COMMUNICATION appears elsewhere
severely criticizing those responsible for
the unsanitary condition of many OF our
school houses, as appears from the re-
port to the board of education by the
health officer. The question pertinently
arises, why are our school houses in this
deplorable condition? Most of them
are new buildings. not yet two years
old and some of them were only finished
and turned over to the department last
year. Yet twenty-five out OF the whole
number are now found to be in
an unhealthy condition, either from
defective plumbing, broken water
pipes, caved in cesspools or other disease
engendering causes. Had the plumb
ing and other work in these buildings
been honestly done, it would not so
soon have been justly liable to such
criticism. We are told that the duty OF
looking after the school plumbing was
last year left to the chief ianitor, and
that he made all the repairs himself.
This would have been well enough had
he been a competent plumber, but as
his trade is that of carpenter, it is
doubtful whether his repairing did not
do more harm than good. The city has
just furnished for school purposes large
number of new buildings at great cost,
and we now find that many OF them
are in bad sanitary condition simply be-
cause they have been shamefuily neglect
ed, or because the work was not we'll
and honestly done before it was accept
ed. Fhe responsibility for all this ought
to rest somewhere, but, as usual with
public matters in this city, we presume
no effort whatever will be made to fix 1t
where it properly belongs. The indis-
pensable thing to do, however, is to place
the schools at once in the best sanitary
condition possible.

THE BRUNER TRIAL,

An Attempt to Impeach the Testimony
of Witness Ottinger.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The trial oi
Elwood Bruner wac continued before
Judge Wallace today. The only sensa.
tional episode was when Attorney Reddy
asked Ottinger if he had not told GER
tain persons that he would either
send Bruner to Jail or 90
there himself. Witness replied
that he had made that remark. Reddy
then brought up the matter of Ottin-
gers conviction of a misdemeanor, for
having issued a scalper's circular, and
desired to have it SO ON record as test
of Ot'iuger's credibility as a witness,
but Judge Wallace declined to entertain

IMPROVED ASSOCIATED PRESS sURviCs

Notwithstanding the news service OF
the Associated Press has a prestige never
eqalled by any news association in this
or any other country, we are in position
to tell our readers that this service is to
be increased in efficiency and is to widen
and extend the scope of its present
magnificent completeness as purveyor
of news. Mr.. Henry w. Odion, jour
nalist of reputation and ability, has
been appointed eastern manager, and,
aided by staff OF trained assistants,
will devote his time to strengthening
the Associated Press all along the lime.
/. This ia new office, and independent OF
the western and eastern manager,
whose duties are too onerous for one
person to effectively fulfill.
In order to facilitate this work, and to
give a service superior to that ever
given by news association before, the
Associated press will have at its disposal
the proof sheets OF the New York Her
aid, World, Times, Tribune and Journal
of Commerce. These sources of news
will be in ad dition to the news obtained
by the Associated Press from it's regular
correspondents and news gatherers.
The advantage to all the newspapers
in the association, of having these new
sources of news supplies opened to them,
will be at once apparent. Complete as
the service now is, it will be made per-
feet in its thoroughness by access to the
proof-sheets of so diversified fountain
of news as the six leading papers OF New
York city affords.
II must be remembered that the Asso-
ciated Press is not established as
money-making organization. Its men,
bership consists of all the great dailies
in New York and other cities, which are
associated together for the purpose OF
mutually gathering the latest news in
all parts of the world into one focus, and
then distributing it to all the newspa-
pers included in it's mem mbership. The
leading dailies OF New York alone, which
constitute the board of the association,
each pay from SIS 900 to $4,000 year
for the news thus obtained. So that it
is an element of great strength to any
newspaper to bea member of the Asso-
ciated Press, and an advantage to the
readers of such papers which could in no
other way be realized.

THE sAGACITY OF A DOG
Leads to the Discovery Of tho Body OF .

Leads to the Discovery Of tho Body OF .
AIan Who Committed Suicide.
CINCINNATI, March 16-Gustav K.
Link, a farmer "a years of age, living near
Montgomery, Ohio, committed suicide
Monday afternoon. The supposed cause for
che rash deed is that Link was engaged to
marry a young lady of Montgomery and his
parents objected to the match. He had
been moody ever since his family began
their bitter opposition to his union with
the girl he loved. Monday, after eating
dinner, he went out to work on the farm
That was the last seen of him alive. About
4:30 o'clock in the afternoon his sisters at
tention was attracted by the barking
of dog at the stable. She went out to
zee what was the matter, and found the dog
inside the stable barking and running
toward the carriage shed. Hastily pushing
open the door a horrible sight met her gaze.
Lying on the floor of the shed was her
brother Gustav, covered with blood. and a
32-caliber revolver at his side. In the dead
mans right temple was q bullet hole
which showed how the deed had been COM
mitted
The body was left where 1t was found
until Squire Todd arrived. The Squire
proceeded at once to hold an inquest, and
neglected to notify the Coroner, who learned
of the suicide only yesterday through Un-
dertaker Boon. The dead man is brother
of Morris Link, q wealthy contractor. His
parents are we'll to do and own farm of 200
acres, which Gustav managed. The family's
objections to his marriage were not on ac-
count of the young lady, who bears the best
of reputation, but because they did not
want him to get married at all, and this fact
is supposed to have driven him to despera-
tion.

THAT FAMOUS WOLF CHASE

The Philadelphia Humane Agents Con-
demned-No Action Yet Taken.
James Ellis, manager of Paul H. Hacke's 8
stock farm near Greensburg, was in Pitts
burg yesterday, shipping Mr. Hacke's volt
hounds to Denver, where they will engage
with another pack of hounds in a wolf
chase for 81, 900.
MIR. Ellis says the Philadelphia humane
agents acted badly at the recent wolf hunt,
and also evidenced an ugly spirit in COM
pairing the hounds to ours "The truth Is, !"
Mr.. Ellis said, "those Philadelphia agents
should have been arrested for trespsss when
they came on the farm, and they had no
more business to shoot the volt than they
would have to shoot gray squirrel which
the dogs were chasing"
Agent O'Brien said yesterday that the
society had not yet decided what course
they would pursue in the case of the wolf
hunt, but he did not believe that any ar
rests would be made. -
