Among the trustees who paid us
visit while here was Reese Clark of
Moore township. staunch populist but
so popular that tie republicans nomi-
mated him on their ticket last tall after
the populists had headed their township
ticket with him. There IS a well de-
fined rumor that he will be the nominee
of the populists in the second district
for commissioner this fall, and if he is
he will be elected.
We are informed that some bows
in the vicinity of Elm Mills have taken
a notion 10 emulate the example of the
Dalton gang and have a rendezvous
where they meet TO form plots dark and
deep. their cues are probably taken
from 5 cent novels, where blood and
thunder abound and heroes are made
OF the most damnable characters in the
plot. But these boys are old enough 10
know, if they will stop to think. that
our criminals in most every case have
begun just as they are beginning, and
that sooner or later the stern hand of
justice will be laid upon them in this
career. It will not be like mothers
hand, soft and gentle and pointing to
them to pure and noble life; but 1t
will be cold and relentless, pointing to
prison walls or the black cap and scat
fold. 1t is to be hoped that the boys
will remember this and if for no
other reason turn from such a fate.
Ii they persist IN becoming outlaws the
community should take the matter in
hand.
