The Every Evening claims to have
the largest circulation of any news
paper in the state. The Evening Jour
nal sells two papers for every one that
the Every Evening sells or gives away.
AS an evidence Of how badly the Every
Evening is of fer subscribers IL is
only necessary TO state that it is now
offering to sell itself fer the modest
sum of ten cents a month, or two cents
and a-half a week. Hundreds of per-
sons are refusing to take it even at
that offer. The Evening Journal is
worth a cent, sells for a cent, and does
not have to give itself away to get into
any house in the city. The Every
Evening once sold for two cents, then
dropped to a cent, and rcw sells on the
market fer a little less than half a
cent. This is a good evidence that the
Every Evening people know the worth
of the commodity that they are selling.
Any person who does not think the
Evening Journal is worth a penny can
step taking it, and take the Every
Evening at a little less than half that
sum. He may oome cut even, but we
think he will realize in few days thai
he has huncoed himself

The REPORT.

At last we have the full text of the
board of inquiry as to, the cause of the
explosion on board the Maine. The
findings are simple but explicit, SO sim
pie indeed that the enormity of the Gin
cident" is hardly observable, and yet its
is something startling, when
the conclusions are given thought.
No Ameican can doubt the verdict of
the commission that the Maine was
blown up by submarine mine. and the
conclusion is inevitable that the mine was
placed there by Spanish authority; that
the Maine was moored to buoy above
the mine by Spanish direction, and that
the mine was deliberally exploded by
some one, either by the authority, or the
connivance, or the neglect Of the Span
iards. Our naval Board do not attempt
to fix the responsibility on anyone.
They could not do it. They had no
power Of investigation on shore, They
could not call Spanish witnesses, and If
they did it could not be expected that
those witnesses would criminate them
selves or their government The burden
Of proof lies with Spain TO clear hey gar
.nents Of the blood Of the victims of the
Maine explosion.

Not So Green.

The up town bound cable car appar-
emily was in the hands of a green mo-
torman. At least that was the way the
crowd of passengers accepted it when,
after each stop, it started up again with
violent jerk, which threw big men
around like skittles. Straps were Of no
value.
At Prince street little old man got
on and made his way to about the mid
die of the car. He lost something Of his
mildness of expression when he was
thrown suddenly and forcibly against
young woman, knocking of her hat,
but he said nothing. Next a big man
made parabolio swing, landed and
nearly knocked him through the win
dow. Then the face of the little man
grew very red. He pushed his way to
the front door and, shaking his finger
in the motorman's surly visage, threat
ened to throw him off the car and run
the thing himself. The motorman
''sassed" back, but the excited little
passenger talked fast and dared him to
do it again. Then he shut the door and
waited, and every one held his breath
when the bell rang.
But the fight did not come off. The
car started as gently as molasses, and
never once from Prince street, where
that one little man stood ON his rights,
up to Fiftieth street did the car start in
any but the smoothest way.
That motorman was not 80 green

THE CENTER.

The true geographical center of Penn
bina county is not very far from point
on straight line drawn from Cavalier to
Glasston, where said straight line would
be intersected at nearly right angle by
a line drawn from Hamilton; being
point very nearly equally distant to each
of the said towns. and being very near
the northeast corner of the northwest
quarter Of section 16, township 161, range
So, about four miles southwest from
Hamilton, six miles from Glasston and a
little over three miles to Cavalier. While
these figures are approximate only, the
point mentioned cannot be varied by fair
and accurate measurement but short
distance, as anyone can discover for
themselves if they have a map and
straight edge. The geographical center
and the center ofpopulation however are
two different things and when it comes to-
the convenience of the people, (the only
possible reason for removal of the county
seat) either Glasston or Hamilton are ap-
proximately as near the geographical
center as Cavalier, with Batngate not far
away; while, when it comes to being
nearest the most people, either of these
towns is more convenient. In fact any
station on the main line of the Great
Northern is more readily accessible in
distance and railroad convenience to the
majority of the people of the county than
is Cavalier, as may be seen by consulting
the following table of the vote given for
governor in 1896.
five draw line north and south
through the main street of Cavalier viii
lage and extend it to the boundaries of
the county we will find the following
number of voters on the east and west
sides of that so-called center.

Not Fickle.

The saying, "Tickle as a weather.
cock" once received a striking refuta-
tion in the experience of DR.. W. E.
Charming. The famous Boston divine,
being of feeble constitution, was led
to go to extremes in protecting himself
against the cold, penetrating air of the
winter in Boston At such times moth
ing would induce him to go out of the
house, even in carriage, if the wind
was from the east.
A friend, not having heard from DR..
Charming for three weeks, notwithstand-
ing that the weather had been unusual
ly mild and agreeable. feared that he
might be i'll and called at his house to
inquire. He found Charming in his
library, the sun streaming through the
closed windows, and a blazing fire i'll
the CRATE. The room was almost suffo-
eating. The doctor himself seemad in
his usual health and spirits Naturally
the visitor asked why he was not enjoy
ing the soft air and sunshine. Claiming
shook his head and said: Impossible,
my friend. dare not, and you know l
never do, venture out of doors in an east
wind. -
"But the wind has been south for the
last three weeks, urged his friend.
"You are greatly mistaken, I" rejoin-
ed the doctor. "Look at the weather
vane, and he pointed triumphantly to
theweathercock of a neighboring church.
''But that vane has not moved for the
last three weeks. 1t wants oiling," was
the response.
The good doctor had been kept pris-
oner for three weeks by rusty wsath.
