Hitler Heard From.

You don't know" he said as he came
into the Office.
Yes, do You are
Hitler
John L. Hitler; remember you you
have been here before"
There is nothing startling about the
foregoing conversation except the name
Hitler" which belongs to a man who
has been charged with bigamy and whose
name was widespread through the news
papers.
Hitler was in Kalamazoo four or five
years ago and went about from house to
house selling his songs-for he is a song
writer. He is still writing songs and his
latest, which he calls pathetic ballad
with the title, Star of Hope" was one
of the things he showed to the Tele
graph when he came into the office to-day.
Since he was last here. Hitler has had
to face several charges of bigamy and
has been inside prison walls, but he
claims it is all mistake.
"A man has a right to marry again,
you know, after he gets a divorce" he
said III admit I've been married four
times and I'm not yet % years old I've
got little boy years old living in De
catur and I'd like to see him.
Hitler is just now living in Cincinnati.
He married Cincinnati girl not long
ago Hitler showed Cincinnati En-
quirer which stated in effect that it had
Investigated Hilers record and that it
was clean; that while he had been con
victed of bigamy and sent to prison in
Illinois. the supreme court had reversed
the decision and the whole thing was a
mistake

This is Interesting.


1t will be remembered that year ago,
just before the village election, the de
mocracy. through its local organette,
made great cry about the amount
the reduction in electric light prices
would cost the taxpayers of the vii
lage. In view of the extravagant claims
made at that time, comparison of state
ments is interesting and instructive. In
its issue of February 26, 1897 the Cour-
Ter estimated that the electric light
plant would cost the village under re
duced prices SAILS more than befor
This estimate was about as close as most
of the Courier's political prognostica
tons. Reference to this years state
ment shows the following facts: The
total amount of electric light orders
drawn during the year just closed, ex-
elusive of bonds and interest, was
S2.397.92. The amount received from
current alone was 81 ,S9S.60, leaving the
net cost of street lighting, exclusive of
bond and interest, S49932 The pre-
ceding year the total amount of cleo
trio light orders drawn, exclusive of
amount received for current was
g, 1885, making the net cost of street
lighting that year, exclusive of bond and
interest, S43763, or S61.69 less than dur
ing the year just closed. AS the amount
of interest paid last year was $50 less
than the year before, it will be seen that
the real cost of street lighting TO taTpay
IL II h
before, Uhen the rates mere higher. An
other year will give, with the constantly
increasing use of electric lights, an even
more gratifying showing for the reduced
prices.
Another comparison along the same
line, in a different form, is made in the
following table similar to one published
by the Courier year ago:
FOR YEAR ENDING FEB. %. 81.
Amt paid on ORDERS bonds and interest 81, 3sr 10
+" received from current and supplies z,54o II
Amt paid in excess of receipts sIs4I OF
FOR YEAR ENDING FEB. %, '98.
Amt paid on orders bonds and interest sally 90
q" received from current and supplies 1880 20
Amt paid in of receipts -..----. sI,75r "a
So it will be seen that using the Cour-
iers own mode of comparison as given to
the public last year, the plant has in
reality cost the taxpayers $500 less than
that year.
So it will be seen that the neglect of
our streets during the past summer was
due, not to the reduction of electric light
rates, as the plant has cost the taxpayers
little less than the year before, neither
entirely to the reduction of taxes last
year, although the amount received from
this source was about 81 900 less but al
most entirely to the fact that there is
now in the treasury 81 ,057.53 more than
was carried over last year. This amount
added to the street expenditures would
have maintained them.
There is no reason for increasing the
tax rate nor electric light prices, nor is
there any reason with the present income
OF the village why all ordinary improve
ments in the way of walks and street.

Our friends sympathetic, pitiful, and i
might add agonizing, appeal TO the PEG
pie of this township TO rush to the rescue
of this poor, bankrupt railroad, reminds
me of little incident that transpired
away down in old Vermont, my native
state. In family were grandmother
and a roguish grandson, who delighted
in playing tricks on the old lady. There
was barren place of rocks and gravel
not far away, which the road crossed
One day the boy presented himself be-
fore the old lady, looking very sad and
woe begone. Finally he said, Grandma,
you remember that desolate place of
rocks over on the mountain?" Yes"
the old lady replied. We'll" continued
the boy, almost bursting into tears,
when | came over that place to-day,
saw the most pitiful, heart-rending sight
my eyes ever beheld." What was it.,
my dear boy? Do tell quick" said the
old lady. Amid sobs the boy managed
to say, IL saw a poor chipmunk sitting
on rock, gnawing "A gravel stone, and
the tears were rolling down his cheeks. y
About that time the boy was near the
door, and the flying broom missed its
mark. Now we do hope our dear friend
Prater will bear up bravely under the
great strain he is enduring for this poor
railroads sake, and that he will not shed
"barrels of tears" over it.

SHALL WE AID CUBA2
HOUSE SATURDAY EVENING TO CON
SLIDER 1T.

After the addresses at the union meet
ing Sunday evening, Rev. j. p. Davis
proposed that something be done to aid
the suffering people of Cuba, who are
many of them literally starving at our very
doors. The suggestion struck popular
chord, and several talks on the subject
were given, Revs. Matthews and Harvey,
Judge Heckert and Mr.. Chandler being
among the speakers 1t was decided to
call mass meeting at the court house,
Saturday evening of this week at seven
o'clock, to consider what can be done.
The plan is to try to get carload or
more of grain donated, which will be
transported free to the seacoast, when it
will be taken by the government to Cuba,
and distributed under the direction of
the American consul and Miss Clara
Barton, who is now in Cuba. All this
will be done absolutely without expense,
so that all donations would reach the
sufferers exactly in amount as sent. 1t
is humane project, and should enlist
the sympathies of all, both men and
women. Let business men. farmers and
laboring men alike turn out and lend
their aid to it. Let the ladies come in
force. This community, blessed with
such abundance as it is, should welcome
the opportunity to aid the suffering
Cubans.

SHOE
TALK.

Since our last shoe advertise
ment, we have added greatly
to our stock of shoes. During
the last two weeks, several box
rs of shoes have been dropped
at our back door every day.
These shoes have been made
specially for us here, there, and
everywhere. We have bought
wherever a thoroughly good
shoe could be had for little mon
ey. We think the shoes now
IN stock are the best shoes for
the money we have ever seen
during many years of shoe buy
ing. Our stock is very strong
IN women's shoes at $3.50, $500, ss.co.
The sole leather, the kid, the
lining in every shoe at these
prices is positively the best to be
had anywhere. And the max
ers have not forgotten style.
The toes, the soles, the tops are
just right. May be you looked
at our store last time you bought.
To day you will find the stock
entirely different in shoes at
Sl.5O $500 and $500. 1t is Just like
looking in a new store. This
morning we had word that as
cases of shoes had been sent us
in one shipment from the east.

HOW 70 ACQUIRE BRAVERY
INHERENT COWARDICE MAY BE
OVERCOME.
Sage Advice of an Old Soldier Who
Contends That Any Man May Be-
come Hero.

81 would like to let young men all
know" said an old soldier, that bra
very, like almost any other attribute,
can be acquired. | would like to let
them know this, because there are
some poor fellows who are brought
into the world with n timid nature,
that causes them much suffering.
While having an admiration for brave
men, they feel that they are towards,
and, accustoming themselves to this
belief, they never attempt to fight
against their weakness. Do you know
l really believe that most of the not
ed brave men of the world have be-
come brave simply by Systematically
overcoming cowardice. Did not Lam
mes, Napoleon's most dashing general,
say: The man who says he never
felt fear is a poltroon and liar But
while Lannes thus acknowledges to
the sensation of fear. he never allow
ed himself to show it, and that is the
point. Moreover, by practice such
things become easy. Now, if there is
any young man who is coward and
wishes to become brave. let me say
this to him: Make up your mind first
that it is much preferable to suffer
death than If is to trempled upon or
Inundated. From what you have eX-
perienced you know the disgust. the
suffering, accute and degrading, that
results when you back down in an UNI
manly fashion. Say this. then, ] much
prefer death than to experience such
feelings again. Impress il upon your
mind. and then as a test to your spir-
it, force yourself to face those things
that YOU have been avoiding from the
mere fright If man has been awing
you, blutfing you, in plain terms, lay
for him deliberately, bluff him back
double. and if he wishes to fight throw
yourself upon him with vim and
punch hard; he cannot do more than
kill you; and, as you have made NJ
your mind that it is better to die than
to submit to humiliation. your death
as it were is a thing already program
ed. And, if you whip him, the sensa.
ton is very agreeable, and frees you
from any further fears of falling a
victim to cowardice. New Orleans

REMEMBER the Maina }, chonla T

'REMEMBER the Maine," should be
the battle cry on every American man
OF war and the watch word of every
soldier on his beat in the war with
Spain. Never in the annals of anv
civilized country has such a dastardlv
and barbarous crime been permitted to
stand as a casus belli. That the Maine
was blown up by a Spanish mine put
there for that purpose by the deliberate
design of the Spanish officers, if not bv
orders Of the government itself. is now
an accepted fact. AS a result of it 266
lives were sacrificed in the most horri-
BILE manner-not given. a chance to
light for 1T, but smothered in their
beds without a word of warming or
chance to escape. It was characteris-
tlce OF Spanish duplicity, cruelty and
cowardice, and we hope that when the
American forces are confronted with
these banana-colored fends there will
be such a killing as will in some meas
ure wipe out the stain and satisfy the
human sentiment of revenge that is
the hearts OF the people.

1T is one of the singular things that
after the president had sent in his
message and submitted the matter of
war to the Judgment and discretion of
congress thatthe fight should continue
to be waged against the president.
The fact is that. in spite of all pro-
tests, there was a good deal of parti-
sanship in the fight. The Democrats
wanted the credit of taking the initia-
tive, and the Republicans were de-
termined that they should not have it.
And so they fought it out in the house
and senate. The Democrats realize
that they are none too we'll fixed in the
matter of ammunition for the COMING
campaign, and they were anxious tc
make record here. And so thew did
the usual Democratic record-one
with good long ears on it.

THERE is no reasonable probability
that the American nation will ever be
in need of an ally, but if the time
should come, or if the Spanish i'm
broglio should get US into uncomforta-
bic complications, there is no reason to
doubt that we would have the substan-
tlal backing of England as against the
world. And with the backing of Eng
land, with the British and American
arms joined, the whole of christendom
might be defed. A combination of the
powers and military forces of the two
countries, it is estimated, would pre-
sent an army of 50,0OO,OOO men and a.
fleet that would wipe from the face>of
the waters every vestige of hostile
craft. We want no foreign allies, but
If we ever have to, accept such it will
be from the people who speak our own
language-from the English people.
