the Fair coterie will be unbounded,
the dailies will claim that they knew
so and so was the case all of the
time.
The people note these omissions
and countess others like them just
now.
The result is that when the dailies
say that the banks are safe the peo-
pie rush TO get their money out.
They copper" every bit of news
paper advice that they get.
The one thing that stopped the
panic early in the week was the wise
policy of the papers in disseminating
publication of advice to the people to
keep cool"
The people want no advice from a
press which ignores bare-faced rob-
berry of the public like that of the
Presbyterian Seminary, and unheard
of extortion like that practiced daily
at the Worlds Fair.

"AMER!CA" CONTINUES TO DRAW.

The Schatfer troupe of acrobats
have made a stunning hit at the
Auditorium in their extraordinary
tumbling and balancing act. They
appear in the Worlds Fair scene of
america" and their unique special
ties arouse the audiences to the high
est pitch of enthusiasm From eight
to ten recalls are given at each per-
Torrance, all of which are accompa-
MED by resembling cheers. 1t is not
an easy task to describe intelligently
the work of this wonderful troupe.
To say that it is something super
human would be no eXaggeration
The eldest Schaffer tumb.es about
his co-acrobats on his feet with as
much ease and skill as a juggler
would handle a rubber ball. The
acts are performed with astonishing
rapidity and charming grace.
The finale of the performance is
very amusing stimulation Of bull
fight, in which a sagacious dog has a
prominent part. The coup de grace
is given by the youngest member OF
the company, little tot Of years.
She gives the death stroke to the
"bull" with all the style Of true
"matador," and the scene closes with
deafening applause. This funny and
novel feature proves great delight
to children on matinee days. In the
Merrymount scene of the first act,
Sylvester, the leader, gives Juggling
performance that mas never DeeH
equaled on the American stage. All
his tricks are new and are performed
with surprising strength and dex
! terity.
Madame Palicot, the pc lalia piano
artist, who's announced debut two
weeks ago was unavoidably post
poned, appeared last Monday evening
Her remarkable performance on the
new instrument was received Will

mense houses. The people never
seem to tire Of its beauties.

MORE'S THE PITY.

1t is a great pity that the daily
press of Chicago is losing the conf
dence of the public. But the fact is
notorious that the daily press CON
tnues to lose public confidence, if it
has not lost it entirely already.
The trouble with Chicago papers
is, that they devote too much space
to exploiting senseless, nauseating
and foolish fads and too little to
matters in which the people are vi
tally interested.
Let some strong-minded female in
vent new style Of hustle, AMI the
Chicago press deyotes columns to 1t.
Let an association like the McCor-
mick Theologl ,al crowd beat the tax
payers out OF 500, 900 in taxes every
year, aud the daily press with the
exception of the Daily News and the
Times pays no attention 20 the rob

THE rapid depreciation of values
in what are called the industrial
stocks, which caused the monetary
tightneSs, has worked no real harm
to the country. All these stocks are
controlled by trusts, and fortunately
it is only the fictitious value put
upon the property by the trust Off
Gals that has been wiped out. That
is positive good in more ways than
one. Each individual corporation is
now working away as vigorously as
ever, paying its money over to the
receiver, instead OF TO the President
and Treasurer. What the country
now needs is "A more vigorous enforce
ment Of the laws, both State and ma
tional, against trusts. In that event
the public will save all that the USE
less trust must have charged as
profit to itself. Hence the country
looks on complacently, while the in
fated values Of the stock market are
scaled down. All the property these
stocks represent is intact. That il
the main thing TO be considered.

ROBBiNG THE PEOPLE.

The people should read the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, and
then see how much right the Pres
byterian Theological Seminary has to
escape taxation on $50 residences and
fifteen acres of land on Fullerton,
Belden and Sheffield avenues.
Land belonging to an institution Of
learning upon rhich b,eildingS or institu-
tions are not located, and tchich is not used
EXCLUSIVELY By the corporation, IS sub
ject to tardti0n."
The words quoted were used by the
Supreme Court of Illinois, in the
matter of this same Presbyterian
Theological Seminary, which always
tried to get out of paying its just
dues, and can he found on page $50
of Volume CT. Of Freeman's ILLINOIS
Supreme Court Reports.
The County Collector q Cook
County sued this same Theological
Seminary Of the Northwest, in 1880,
for taxes. There were then no resi-
dences on this fifteen acres Of land,
yet the Supreme Court decided that
they must pay taxes.
In the face of this decision of the
highest court in the State, the Off
Gals of Cook County have connived
with sundry parties to keep this as
sessment off of the tax books, eren
after the North Torn assessor has assessed
them.
How is that for fraud?
Talk about anarchists defying the
law. Did they ever do anything like
this?
The people should rise up and wipe
out this injustice at the polls.
If the fault is in the County Court
strike it there.
If the fault is in the County Clerks
Office, strike it there.
But strike it anywhere.
The law and the Supreme Cour
have each been def1ed long enough
Religious crooks are no better thar
any other crooks.
Here is an extract from the Ameri
can Encyclopedia of Law, volume 4
quoting the consensus of the opinion
of the Supreme Courts of twenty
eight States on this subject:
IAN exemption of the property o
religious, charitable and educatl0na
institutions will be construed to eX
tend only to the property actually use
for religious, charitable and ed,catiOnC
purposes, and not to other property he'll
By 1t as a source Of rererooe, or capable {
being applied to such use. "
If that is not strong enough law t
protect the people in their rights
what is?
And yet the Presbyterian Theolog
cal Seminary pays no taxes on fiftee
acres of residence property, eac
house on which rents from S85 (
5000 per month.
Why is this fraud permitted t
exist?

SHOT ON THE LAKE.
Young University Students Fired on BY
Parties on Mount Bonnet.

Young University Students Fired on BY
Parties on Mount Bonnet.
Yesterday afternoon Sidney Till
man, Nicholson and Robertson, three
university students, took sail up the
lake. AS they were returning about
O'Clock, without any word of warn
ing or without the slightest provoca-
ton, they say parties from the top of
Mount Bonnet began shooting at
them. AT first the young men thought
the bullets which ploughcd into the
water so close to their boat were not
intended for them, but as they came
uncomfortably close they yelled TO let
up. Four people were in the party on
the mountain-two women and two
men. After six shots were fired one
of the women took the gun and took
deliberate aim, pulled the trigger,
and with the puff Of powder Mr.
Sidney Tiliman felt sharp pain in
his left leg, and upon examination he
discovered that the ball had struck
him, penetrating the tleshy part of
that member just above the knee.
The young men pulled for the shore
as fast as they could, and
reaching the dam telephoned for a
carriage and came to town. Doctor
Wooten was called and extracted the
bullet which proved to be % target
rifle bullet. The wound is not serious
and will only keep the young man in
bed few days.
A STATESMAN reporter called on
him at his boarding house, 1908 Uni
versity avenue about 8 o'clock last
night In answer to the scfibes ques.
tions he said: "My friends and l
went out to spend the day up the lake
and on returning in the evening we
noticed four people on top of Mount
Bonnet, and without any warning at
all they began shooting at us. We
r1wed as quick as we could but they
followed and continued TO shoot.
They must have been a couple
of hundred yards distance
when | was shot. The wo-
man that shot me wore brown dress.
One bullet went through the sail and
several struck the water within few
feet of our boat.
The young man who was shot is
son of h. H. Hillman prom inent
wholesale merchant of Dallas
The police were notified at once and
an officer went out to get particulars.
Up to II o'clock he had not
returned and it is not
known, whether any clue as to the
identity of the guilty parties has been
obtained. 1t is certain that it was
and unprovoked, and the
officers will, if possible, hunt The
guilty parties down. If caught they
should be made an example of. This
is not the first complaint that has
been made of careless and reckless
shooting along the lake shores. 1t is
a practice that must be stopped, and
the sooner it is done the better will it
be.
