Diphtheria Reported in Two
Families in LonsdaIe.
Funeral Of Michael J. HeaIey
Attended By Many Friends.
The Granting Of Licenses Is tthe Topic Today
Notes OF the Valley Villages.

Diphtheria has broken out again in
Lonsdale, and the cases thus far reported
are said to be by the attending physicians,
the most aggravating of its kind. 1t is
very unfortunate that this dread disease
has made its appearance at this time of the
year, as 1t Is feared with the hot weather
coming on, that a regular epidemic may
set in. DIR. Walker, the health officer, In
speaking with TRIBUNE reporter, said
that he intends to take extraordinary pre-
cautions against the spread of the afiiic-
tion. The cases in question have been
quarantined, and every effort is being
made to hold the cases In check.
Funeral of Michael j. Healey.

A WRONG METHOD.

BY cutting off all sources of amusement
to that part OF humanity that does not
frequent the churches on the Sabbath day
it may seem so some of the Sunday blue
law advocates that the absent ones will be
compelled Of necessity to come into the
sanctuary. But this Is mistaken i'm
preston. No amount of compulsion ever
indued religious sentiment in the heart
of ma kind. Those who do not normally
attend church will not do SO with the re-
membra rance fresh in their minds that they
have been deprived of that which is their
right because it interferes not with the
rights and privileges of others. Religion
cannot be forced down the throat like
medic ne. II the Sabbath observers wish
to make the Sabbath popular with those
who at present do not take an especial
interest In religion they should be as
ienient as possible in their construction
OF the limitations OF personal liberty. To
deprive a man of his rights is not the
best method of opening his heart to re-
ligious influences.
However, We do not think that the Sun
day boat question will he pursued for any
extended length OF time by our sincere,
but misdirected friends.

AS TO COURT OBLIOA ATOMS.

Ii seems somewhat inconsistent that
man who pleads guilty to a foul murder
should be put through the process of a
trial for what he has acknowledged that ne
did as In the case OF Joseph Il. Kelley, the
self-confessed slayer Of Cashier Stickney,
but the machinery OF justice contemplates
that no man shall be punished until he Is
proved clearly to be responsible for his
crime. Kelleymay or may not be insane. lie
does not act like a demented person. The
only real reason to suspect that he may be
mentally impaired is the fact OF the helm
business OF the crime itself. Some hold that
no person of sound mind can commit n
crime so shocking as that OF Kelley, but
this theory is hardly a consistent one.
Whatever may be private opinion as 10
the mental soundness OF Kelley, 1t Is only
fair that he should have the benefit OF the
trial He may not deserve IL, but some
body else may some day and the precedent
must not be broken.
In the case OF the Rhode Island Mowry
although he gives more evidence OF an un-
balanced intellect than Kelley, insanity
must be fully established by court befor,
the old man can hope to escape spending
the rest OF his years Tin prison. There II

FAITH CURE A GOOD THING


In some Disehses, nut It Is Failure In
Stomach Troubles.
Mere faith will not digest your food for
you, will not give you an appetite, will not
increase your flesh and strengthen your
nerves and heart, but Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will do these things, because they
are composed OF the elements of digestion,
they contain the juices, acids and peptones
necessary to the digestion and assimilation
OF all wholesome food
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food IL placed In a jar or bottle in water
heated to 9s degrees, and they will do IL
much more effectively when taken into the
stomach after meals, whether you have
faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make pure
blood and strong nerves, In the only way
that nature can do IL, and that IL, from
plenty of wholesome food well digested. IL
Is not what we eat, but what we digest
that does us good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
nearly all druggists at 80 cents for full sized
package, or by mail from the stuart Co.,

greatly enjoyed the performance given

"
There Is considerable talk regarding
reckless bicycle riding, but we hear little
about reckless driving. There is consid-
erable Of 1t being done In the city just the
same. The two principal offenders are a
laundryman, and a youth who drives a
high-stepper. Showing of high-steppers
in the business streets of the city at time
when traffic is at its height, and the streets
are being frequently crossed by shoppers,
is bad practice, and the two individuals
referred to should have the attention OF
the police.
While we are very particular about GER
tain evils about the city, we give but scant
attention to others. In probably no city
in New England are the liberties taken
with the streets that are customary here.
The erection of a building in Pawtucket
means the virtual closing of the street on
the side on which the building is to be
located.
An amusing incident took place at the
meeting OF the License Comm issioners OF
Central Falls on Wednesday evening. As
the Commissioners were busily engaged In
hearing applicants man put his head In
, the door and inquired, "Is 1t here you give
dog licenses?" The word licenses was
about all OF the inquiry understood, and
the reply was ''yes." The man entered
followed by a large animal Of the New
Foundland breed, and pointing TO hin
with pride TO the dog as he brought forth
the amount Of the tax said ellis name i,
Fido." Mutual explanations were In
order and the canine and his master wer,
requested to call on the City Clerk.

II an, one has noticed the number
OF state diplomas issued lately, he will
come TO the conclusion that the pro-
ductiOn OF teachers is much greater
than the demand for them. The peo.
pie Of Oregon are being greatly hum
bugged 10 our educational system.
Governor Lord in his message says:
"The original design Of the law
contemplated that the board Of edu-
cation should appoint board Of ex-
aminers, composed OF men trained In
practical teaching sand OF scholarly
attainlnents, who were TO meet at the
capital twice year, for the purpose
Of examining applicants for teachers
certificates and diplomas, and recon-
mend tn the board such teachers as
became entitled to them. BY this
method the state secures the service
OF trained men TO select teachers, and
the diplomas issued on their recon-
mendation by the board would be OF
value TO their possessors, as affording
some guaranty OF their fitness and
qualification. Such examinations
would tend TO weed out incompetency
and secure high grade Of teachers
for our public schools, and thus prove
OF incalculable benefit TO the children
OF our state. To pay the expenses Of
these examinations the law provides
fees OF $40, 90 and 81, respectively, for
life diplomas, state diplomas and
state certificates, and, II any money
remain, after the payment Of such
expenses, II is to be held, or approprl-
ated, by the board for educational
purposes. Though examiners have
been appointed, they were never con-
yened, as body, but have examined
applicants at their respective resi-
dences, under the. instructions
from the superintendent Of
public lnstrI;tiol. Nor do they
furnish the board with lists Of ques.
tIons for distrlbutlen TO the county

this mode OF administering the law

The feeling for special session
grows stronger as the volume OF pub =
lie money piled up in the state treas
ury grows larger. There is now $780,
600 in round numbers lying idle. This
sum will sOCn be increased to half a
million. The experience OF the state
on a former occasion when f. n. Cooke
was treasurer is recalled, and the fear
that state money will be used to buy
claims against the state is growing.
The farmers Of the state know that
while they pay their taxes promptly
the bankers will reap a harvest out
OF the deprecated state claims, which
will finally be allowed with interest
in full. An element Of the Peoples
party wants special session called,
an d one wing of the Republican party
declare the old organization ght will
not oe renewed if an extra session can
be obtained. As more money is retired
from circulation and as state claims
accumulate the demand for session
will grow. If the session is not
called until late in the fall only a few
months will intervene before prepara-
tions to elect new legislature will
begin.
