The many friends of Rev. r. Tit
marsh, in this city, as we'll as elsewhere,
cordially approve the action of the Z.
NJ. conference, at Ridgeway, this week,
in refusing to consider the report of
the committee appointed to investigate
certain charges which had been prefer.
red against him, charging him with
"disloyalty to our cause" when it was
so we'll known and understood that the
congregation of which he was the con,
ference pastor, had voluntarily with.
drawn from the conference with its
approval, and had organized Congre-
gational church to which he continued
to preach with great success in the
same pulpit. The wisdom of the con.
ference was plainly manifest in not
considering these charges against an
able, christian minister, because his
congregation had done that which the
conference by resolution had author
lied it to do. In addition to this in
dulgent, christian at of the confer
ence in refusing to listen to the charges
against Rev. Titmarsh, it, by unani-
nous vote, permitted him to withdraw
from the conference at his own request,
and gave him full credentials as an
ordained minister of the conference in
full connections, which would enable
him to continue as the pastor Of the
congregation to which he had minis
tered so long and faithfully.

1t is said that the charter for the
toll road running from Galena towards
Hazelgreen will expire in July next
and that it will not be renewed. If so
that relic of past age will be done
away with 10 Illinois, as that is the
only toll road now in operation in that
state.
Under the laws passed at the last
session of the Wisconsin legislature 1t
is unlawful for any person or persons
in this state, to sell or give away to
any person under the age of twenty
one years, any cigarette or cigarette
paper, under penalty of fine of from
five to twenty-five dollars for each
otfense or imprisonment from five to
thirty days in the county Jail. In case
of second otfense the fine is from
twenty-five to one hundred dollars or
imprisonment from thrifty days to
three months. There are good many
youngsters in Shullsburg who smoke
cigarettes and someone is likely to be
prosecuted for furnishing them with
the vile articles. The law should be
strictly enforced.

They Do Not Meet the Needs of the Farmer
and Are Too Costly.
"Toll roads do not meet the wants of
the farmer. He wants free roads, not
toll roads, and wants all who use them
to help make them at cost that will
not be burdensome on the farmer"
writes Michigan farmer to the Grand
Rapids Press. 1.-The toll roads are too
costly for the farmer. To get the prod
ucts of the farm to market he now pays
enough taxes in the way Of tolls to pay
for the toll roads in five years at price
they could be built fer now. Though
the tax is paid Indirectly it is paid.
Farmers rs class are opposed to mo-
nopolies, and yet they grant franchises
to toll road companies, which are, on q
Small scale, greater monopolies than
any Of the railroad corporations Of the
state.
"These toll roads are not only q pub
lie nuisance, but the owners of them
are the worst tax dodgers of the state,
railroad corporations not excepted. The
farmers in many parts of the county
cannot got into the city without being
compelled to Jay a toll or else drive a
long distance out Of their way. The
farmers wife cannot get into the city
with small basket Of eggs or q fow
pounds of butter without paying toll
almost as much as she receives for what

Truth About Armenia.

The respect and interest with which
DR.. George H. Hepworth's Armenian
letters to tie New York Herald are re-
ceived, the confidence they inspire as to
their reliability, prove that it pays even
newspaper correspondent to get rep
utation for telling the truth. The Amer
lean people will now be able to make
up their minds with something like &C.
curacy on the Armenian massacres.
Already it is shown.that as always q
story diminishes in size the nearer it ia
traced to it's source. At Trebizond, on
the Asia Minor coast of the Black sea,
d. Hepworth made careful inquiry of
C~:mans, Englishmen and Frenchmen
ss to the origin Of the massacre He
took the word neither of Armenians nor
Turks, they being prejudiced witnesses.
Here is the true story:
A few days utter the attack on the
officers Of the Ottoman bank in Constan.
tinople Bahri Pash;, u Turkish official
al Trebizond, was walking along the
street. when he was tired on by two
young men who were believed to be-
long to the revolutionary party. They
did not kill the officer, but intense ex-
element was aroused. The young lnel.
escaped, and the Turks, believing they
were sheltered by the Armenians of the
town, demanded they should be given
up to Justice This demand was not
complied with Then the Turks fell Oh
the Armenians and put to death SEQ OF
them. When this statement is contrast
cd with the lurid stories that were sent
TO Europe and America concerning the
affair, the size OF the telegraphed tales
will become apparent.
