While all the complaints are going
on about the city water, many people
are forced to use it. That is to say, when
the water works were completed, wells
were allowed to fill up and go to ruin.
Accordingly, some people insist that the
water company should put in a filter.
But the company has not acted. To day
We noticed a newfangled apparatus in
the stove and tin -store of Col. Charley
Taylor, on Main street. 1t is the Gate
City Filter-and it does its work we'll. 1t
will purify and Clarity any water you
put in it.-ThiS novel and in this town
almost indispensable filter is selling at a
low price and is within the reach of all.

have Mr.. T~aylorshow you how it works,
and then, if satisfied that it does the
business, let him name you his prices.
Ii is worth looking OF, especially if you
use city water.

CRADLE OF WARShIPS.
Head of the Firm Which Builds Gu.
Fastest Cruisers.


Since the United States has begun to
mako pretcnsions ms naval power the
American people have acquired a lively
interest In naval architecture and can
give you off-hand an elucidation of all
the points of difference between a
cruiser and line battleship and an
accurate comparison of the naval
strength of the great nations of the
earth. To these nautical amateurs q
most interesting institution is the
great shipbuilding yards of William
Cramp s. Sons at Philadelphia, where
many of our latest, largest and fastest
cruisers were built.
William Cramp, the founder of the
firm, commenced business In a modest
way In 1880, building wooden and
steam sailing vessels. Two sons,
Charles II. and William M. Cramp, were
admitted into partnership in 1857, and
In 1868 three younger Cramps became
members of the firm. Charles II. Cramp
stands at the head of the firm as at
present organized. He looks after the
social interests of the frm-a very i'm
portant department when 1t Is consid-
cred that the concern has constantly
number of important contracts with
the government involving many mil
lions of dollars. Mr. Cramp has trav-
eled extensively In foreign lands and
has q large circle of friends, with
whom he is very popular. He dresses
In conventional business style and
usually wears high hat.
Since the downfall of John Roach's
firm at Chester, Pa, the Cramps are
known as the largest shipbuilders In

There Arc -Four Different Kinds In Eng
lish-Speaking Countries Alone.
English-spealeing countries have four
different miles-the ordinary mile of
$3.50 feet and the geographical or
nautical mile of 6,0S5, making q diff
ference of about one-seventh between
the two; then there Is the Scotch mile
of 5,02S feet and the Irish mile of 6,720
feeti four various miles, every one OF
which Is still in use. Then almost
every country has its own standard
mile, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat The Romans had their mil pas
SUM, 1000 PAGES, which must have
been about 5000 feet In length, unless
we ascribe to Cesar's legionaries great
stepping capacity. The German mile
of to-day Is e4,31s feet in length, more
than four and half times as long as
our mile. The Dutch, the Danes and
the Prussians enjoy mile that is 49,
$40 feet long, three and one-half times
the length of ours; and the Swiss get
moro exercise In walking one Of their
miles than we get in walking five
miles, for their mile is 9,153 yards
long, while ours is only 1,760 yards
The Italian mile Is only few feet
longer than ours; the Roman mile Is
shorter, while the Tuscan and the
Turkish miles are 150 yards longer.
The Swedish mile Is 7,341 yards long,
and the Vienna post mile Is 8,798 yards
in length. So, here is list of twelve
different miles, and besides this there
are other measures of distance, not
counting the French kilometer, which
Is rather less than two-thirds of a mile.
The Brazilians have a militia that Is
one and one-fourth times as long as
our mile; the Neapolitan miglio is
about the same length; the Japanese
ri, or mile, is two and one-half times
ours; the Russiant verst Is five-eighths
as long as our mile, while the Persian
standard is fesakh. four and hall
miles long, which Is said to be equal tc
the parasang SO familiar to the readers
of Xenophon's "Anabasis." The league
that is familiar to readers of French
and Spanish books varies just as doe,
the mile. In Brazil 1t is three ant
four-ffths miles long, In France 1t wa;
three miles, in Spain 1t was two ant
two-thirds miles, and once on tim'
in England it was two and half mile'
long.

PICKED UP BY THE WAY.
THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE
TOWN AND VICINITY.

Matters of n Local Nature Commented
Upon and Placed Before the Readers of
the "Tribune" in Large Letters-some
Paragraphs May Interest You.
| have noticed that the re-
quest made by the burgess of
the council at it's last meeting,
for permission to protect the
Public park from being abused
by cutting trees and dumping
garbage on it, has met with
general favor from the public.
This matter is something that
should have had the attention
of the authorities long ago,
and | am not sure that there is
any more necessity for protect
ing it at present than there has
been for several years past. In
most towns of Freeland's size,
and larger, the public park is
the pride of its residents, but
in our case it appears to be just
the reverse and were it not for
the night picnics that are held
there occasionally the place
would be almost unknown.
On several occasions | have
heard a faint agitation being
made among it's admirers to
have it fenced, at least, by
public subscription, but as the
parties who interested them
selves in the matter found it
uphill work, it was dropped
just as silently as it was
begun. OF course, the obsta-
cles in the way We're many,
and to have the work done in
a substantial manner it would
require no small sum. The
projectors of this public sub
scription plan knew it would
be necessary to appeal to the
business men and they also
knew that if there is a banner
town in the state where the
business men are bored for pub
liccontributionsforvariouspur- pur-
poses it is Freeland, and it was
chiefly for this reason that the
public subscription plan was
not launched on the public.
The saying that "every-
body's business is nobody s
business" !" is well illustrated in
the case of the park. A person
to afford it protection was not
to be found anywhere until the
burgess came to its rescue. AS
a matter of fact, outside of the
trees, there is nothing on the
ground to be protected. The
seats, bars and orchestra stand
which were meant as improve
ments, are only an injury and
cannot be removed too soon.
The large spikes and nails with
which they are fastened to the
trees must have their effect
sooner or later. To sanction
the slow decay of the trees by
having boards spiked or nailed
to them and at the same time
posting notices on them that
they might be saved from de-
struction, to my mind is the
worst kind of logic.

PANIC AMONG THE PASSENGERS.
\ Wild Rush to Hide VaIuabIes That Were
Not in Danger.


During the robbery the passengers on
the train were in a state of wild excite
ment. Women tainted and men hid their
valuableS under the car seats and in their
shoes and in any place suggesting safety
from the robbers search. Only few of
the passengers were armed, and as the
bandits on the outside had 1.-THE DROP on
any person who might show himself at
door or window, resistance was not much
considered. However, the robbers con-
tented themselves with plundering the ex-
press car and did not molest the rassen-
gers. They evidently were not after the
passengers belongings. The fact that only
the express car was attacked and that a
train carrying an unusually large sum was
selected argues superior know ledge of the
express business or rare good luck on the
part of the robbers.
Engineer James Knapp, who was shot
by the train robbers, was taken to his home
at Toledo upon the arrival of the train at
that city, and physicians were called. 1t
was found that the bullet penetrated his
right side near the shoulder He had a
very close call, and the robber evidently
shot to kill. The physicians say that
Knapp is not in danger and will be all
right in u few days.
Express Messenger Weist told United
Press reporter at Toledo the same story as
his assistant told in this city, but said that
it took the robber who handled the drill
''over half an hour to do the job. During
the time that the fellow was working on
the safe there were several of his pals out
side at the door of the car, also armed with
Winchesters. No help arrived on the
scene until the robbers had made their
escape l could not see whether they had
horses or not, but 1 suppose they had"
The porter of the sleeping-car Riga knew
something was up because the train never
stops at the place where it was held up.
The conductor came to him before it had
stopped and said: Lower your lights a
little and don't make any noise. The
train is held up and the devil is to pay.
Don't alarm the passengers, and keep the
doors locked and we may be able to keep
them out of this part of the train" When
ever a head was seen out of a car window
the robbers on guard would send a bullet
in that direction.

THE PURSUIT is VERY HOT.
Detectives Are in Every Direction Look
ing for the Gang.

Ing lot the Gang.
The most important thing about train
robbery nowadays is the efficiency of the
pursuit. That sort OF crime averages one
week and is almost ready to be relegated
to the newspaper limbo of unimportant
ltems-it is no longer novel or sensational
as general thing. But the capture of
one OF the robbers is a piece of news.
Whether the press will have the pleasure
OF announcing the capture of these desper-
ADDE'S is to be settled yet. But the chase
has opened up right lively. AS soon as
the villains had secured the booty they
plunged into the brush. From there it
vas easy to scatter and reach half dozen
large places in a comparatively short time.
They had to be quick about it, for the
railroad and express officials at once noti-
fed the police in all cities from Chicago to
Cleveland, and the citizens in the vicinity
OF the robbery formed posses to hunt down
the bandits. 1t was reported that five
men suspected of having been implicated
IN the crime were under arrest. The sheriff
of Noble county orga lied posse of 100
mon and began a systematic search of the
surrounding country. Every train and
hamlet for miles around was notified to
watch for the thieves 1t was thought
that the robbers would endeavor to escape
to Chicago or Cleveland, either of which
places they could reach by daylight by
trains on other roads Some of the Chi
cago police officers are of the opinion that
the job was done by professional safeblow-
ers.
Within two hours of the commission of the
crime Captain Byrne was on his way to the
scene with detachment of detectives from
his Buffalo district. The first trains out of
Plttsburg, Cincinnati, Toledo, Detroit,
indianapolis, Chicago and st. Louis
carried squads of detectives in the employ
OF the United States Express company and
the confederated companies. The Lake
Shore threw force of men on the work
from its Cleveland office, so that not less
than 100 trained detectives are already on
the trail of the robbers
The express company's officers are per-
fectly well satisfied that the robbery was
committed by expert safe-blowers who
know the use of dynamite and just how to
get at the vulnerable spots in the safe
This, IN their opinion, ought to make the
chase more certain to end in the capture of
the robbers and the recovery of the money
than would otherwise be the case. Detec-
tive Mullaney, chief of the secret service
OF the Lake Shore road, believes that the
robbers are concealed in the swamps of
northern Indiana, and has so published in
all local newspapers along the line of the
Lake Shore railroad between Elk hart, Ind
and Toledo, O.
