The Way Of the Transgressor.

Lon Parrott, Jean Parrott, Startling
Hughes, Charlie Hughes and Russ
Hughes, five boys who have not yet
reached their majority, have unfortun.
ately imbibed an idea that they are
holy terrors and that the acme of hero
ism is to attain notoriety for fighting
propeDsities. They are, perhaps, not 80
much to blame as the evil, feverish and
unreal literature upon which their
minds have fed. The Jesse James and
the Daltons of robber fame, the bruisers
and the toughs of yellow back fiction
have been idealized to their boyish
minds. Recently, this quintet went
down into Clay township to break up a
quiet and peaceful teachers meeting.
They threw stones and clubs through
the windows, then entered the building
and drove out the terrified educators.
They scored signal victory from their
own point of view. Now comes the
cold, exacting law and demands satis-
faction for its injured dignity. The
three first named boys are now in the
county jail with fine of $25 and costs
each against them, while the others are
fugitives from justice, outcasts upon the
face of the earth. The three now in
jail were arrested Saturday by Consta.
BILE Jolly, and in Esq. Martins court
pleaded guilty to the charge of disturb.
ing q public meeting. After they have
expiated their sentence they will be ar.
raigned for assault and battery, and for
malicious destruction Of property. Here
is lesson for boys whose ambition is
to be tough and ungenteel.

Which Z

Last week we spoke of a proposition
to put up combined monument and
drinking fountain on the Court House
grounds. 1t now transpires that the
manufacturers will have it ready in
three or four weeks. Having gone so
far in that direction, it will be an EN-.
barrassing thing for somebody to effect
a change. On the other hand, there is
a strong sentiment in favor of:the other
project, providing the subscriptions can
be realized on. 1t is said, however, that
the So, 300 now subscribed was to have
been called for by the first Of last June,
and this condition failing, it will be
necessary to get the subscriptions re.
newed. Doubt is expressed as to
whether this can be done in these times
II, however, this is done, then those
who have negotiated for the fountain,
will reasonably expect to be protected
from loss. Thus the matter is compli.
Gated. Should it be found impracticable,
under those circumstances, to combine
these two improvements in one, we
shall. at least, have beautiful fountain.
The description and dimensions of this
we have given before. 1t will be an
ornament, while the design is bright
and cute conceit which will never lose
its attractiveness. 1t cannot be long
until the question of which we shall
have will be settled. And if it is not
the combined fountain and monument,
and cannot be the Memorial hall, then
our citizens would do we'll to take the
monument matter seriously in hand
and have beautiful memento erected
either on the Public Square, or some
other appropriate site.
