we did infer, that E.P. Arpin knowingly
voted for the school site owned by the

from our local it was erroneous. How

if any citizen should object upon that

A fair conception Of the magnitude of
work concerned in the erection of the
mammoth paper plants about Us can be
obtained by examination of a series of
pictures as work progressed on one of
them. ''The old Biron Saw Mill, !"
Excavation and foundation of Grand
Rapids Pulp & Paper Co.'S mill on the
same site," and "the massive, magnifi-
cent finished paper plant and dam of
this Company" now on display in F.
w. Kruger & Co.'S show windows will
give you the idea.
Bill Nye's opinion of man who is
asked to pay his newspaper subscrip-
ton and instead Of paying refuses it at
the post-office:
A man may use a wart on the back Of
his neck for collar button; ride on the
back coach of train to save interest on
his money until the conductor comes
around; stop his watch at night to save
the wear and tear; leave his 81" and st"
without dot or cross to save his ink;
pasture his mothers grave to save corn;
but a man Of this kind is a gentleman
and a scholar compared to fellow who
will take newspaper, and when asked
to pay for it, puts it into the post-office
and has it marked, "Refused."

in Cumberland, Md, where he was for
number of years tho business manager and
assistant editor of the Cum berland Even
ing Times. His most noteworthy piece of
work as q newspaper man was done dur
ing the flood at Jamestown, Pa, in 1889,
being the first correspondent to enter the
stricken town. He retired from journal
ism in 1891, and organized the Cumber-
land Hardware company, of which he be-
came president. He has been a member
of the Maryland board of L. A. W. officers
six years, in each of which he was delegate
to the national assembly. In 1894 he was
elected first vice president of the league,
succeeding to the presidency in 1896, with
out material opposition.
Mr.. Elliott, who aspires to succeed Pres
ident Wilson, is the editor and publisher
of The L. a. W. Bulletin, the official or
gan Of the league, which is published in
Boston, where Mr.. Elliott resides. He is
a writer of recognized ability, and known
as the poet laureate of the cyclers. He il
now chief consul of the Massachusetts divi-
sion, and is enthusiastically devoted to
wheeling and its interests. He is a man
of action, of enthusiasm, of originality,
and his ambition is to double the member
ship Of the league.
To the average wheelman, who is not
on the inside of league politics, it is case
of Chow happy could 1 be with either

feeling prevails that no matter how the
issue is finally decided, the affairs of the
league will be in good and capable hands.

the house of representatives on February
81. 1873, when he said:
According to my view of the subject
the conspiracy which seems to have been
formed here and in Europe to destroy,
by legislation and otherwise, from three
seventies to one-half of the metallic
money of the world is the most gigantic
crime of this or any other age.
"The contamination of such scheme
would ultimately entail more misery up
on the human race than all the wars,
pestilence and famine that ever occurred
in the history of the world"
What has Senator Tillman done but
point to the abettors of what Mr.. Bright
of Tennessee in the Forty fifth congress
condemned, when he said: "Aye, sir; it
was a fraud that smells to heaven. 1t was
a fraud that will stink in the nose of pos
terity, and for which some persons must
give an account on the day of retrlbu-
tion."
To what else did Senator Tillman call
attention, but to that colossal crime to
which the special committee of the house
on the cause of agricultural depression
in March, 1895, referred when it re-
ported that 'class Legislation of the
worst character encumbers the statute
books and has been carried on to the
detriment of agriculture and its de-
pendent industries for thirty years,
eliminating in the crime of the age, the
demonstration of silver in 1873"
As John Clark Ridpath, in the current
number of the Arena, says: NV ords are
inadequate to describe the profundity and
criminality of that scheme.
1t was done by turn of Shylock's wrist,
so adroit, and. one might say, so devilish,
as to be indescribable in the phraseology
of this world"
1t is because they feel the effects of
this crime and would fix the RESPONSE
bility for it that so many people today
applaud blunt-spoken Ben Tillman.

publishers who print his books would
not know him if they met him, al
though his peculiar manuscript. written
with violet ink in a Grabbed but legible
hand, would at once be recognized in
almost any sanctum in the country. DR..
Oswald is now living quietly in Louis
WILD, but it is probable that his resi-
dence there is only temporary one, as
he spends most of his time far away
from the haunts of men. Besides being
a writer he is a hermit, scientist and
philosopher.
DR.. Oswald was born in Belgium
about so years ago, but he was gradu
ated from a Russian college, and for
many years has been rowing about the
earth, always with his eyes wide open
and pursuing some sort of scientific
study or investigation. He was edu-
Gated as physician, but turned his at
tention to natural philosophy, and it
was this science that led him to become
a wanderer He is a most prolific and
versatile writer and finds ready sale
for his articles. He has visited all sorts
of out of the way places and wrote a
series of most entertaining articles en-
titled 'Summerland Sketches or, Ram
bles In the Backwoods of Mexico and
, Central America. - Many of his writ
ings deal with the laws of health, and
he is regarded as something of an au-
thority on this subject. His stories Of
animal life are always very interesting,
for he writes from personal observation.
| To him have been revealed many of the
secrets of nature and whether he is
writing about the habits Of snakes or
! presenting new theory concerning eli
! matte changes he is always entertain
ing. One of his best known books is
"Physical Education; OF, The Health
Laws of Nature. ~
A few years ago DR.. Oswald was liv-
ing on the top Of a mountain in Ten
nessee For ten years he tramped over
the Smoky mountain range, selecting
various peaks as location for a humble
cabin, which is all the home he asks for.
He generally lives hermit fashion, cook
ing his meals over an open fire, Indian
style, and sleeping on a bed of bougbs.
