Marks Great Bargain store has a
new location this week and patrons of
this store will hereafter find Mr.. Mark
in the Townsend building occupying
the east room formerly occupied by
the Princeton Hardware company.
This store started three or four years
ago with a small stock in the little
building opposite the starch factory,
but by giving the people good bargains
and treating all fairly soon secured an
excellent patronage. The stock has
been steadily increased and this, fall
the old building was found to be en-
tirely too small. In the new location
the management has secured much
larger room splendidly lighted and
this week large consignment of new
goods is being put upon the shelves.
The store makes speciality of shoes,
all grades for all people, clothing and
gentlemen's furnishing goods. Those
who are not already patrons should
visit the store and inspect the goods.

While entertaining a large party at
dinner recently a New York man, who
was single, upon being reminded by
his guests that there was no hostess,
promptly proposed to young woman
who was one of the party, and his
proposal was accepted. All this oc-
CURED just before the dinner was
served and in the presence of the en-
tire company. While promptness of the
host in securing hostess to grace his
feast is commendable, the incident will
not commend itself to the average
lover. Unless the other members of
the party discreetly turned their backs
the chances are that the New York
man missed practically all the exer-
cises that usually go with an accept
ance Of that sort and that are among
the most enjoyable features of such an
occasion.

Justice Charles P. DAILY Of New York,
who died few days ago at his sum-
mer home at Sag Harbor, on Long
Island, while an eminent jurist, was
perhaps more widely known as a geog-
rapher. AS the president Of the Ameri-
can Geographical society his death will
be noted the world over. No American
geographer or scientist was held in
higher esteem, both at home and
abroad, than the honored and re-
tired jurist who had been so long
head of the oldest and most i'm
portant of American geographical So
cieties. Judge Days deep interest
in geographical progress has been of
the greatest encouragement not only
to workers of his own nation, but
to Stanley in Africa, to hansen and
Jackson in the arctic, Sven Hedin in
Asia and wherever an honest, adven-
turous spirit pushed into the unknown,
advancing the domain Of science and
of discovery. His many years gave
Judge DAILY fund of "reminiscences and
of personal acquaintance of the great
est value, and from it he drew inspira-
ton and encouragement for the young
er men who are now taking up the un-
finished work of exploration.

Michigan appears to be working Wig
orously to make a name for itself as
the home Of celebrities. The town Of
Three Oaks recently invited Admiral
Dewey to visit it, assuring him that he
would be welcome to stay as long as
he desired. Not to be outdone by Three
Oaks, the enterprising town Of Otsego
has sent a dispatch to Captain Drey-
fus inviting him to make his home
there. Now let Blue Earth extend its
Inequalities to Dom Paul, and Sheboy-
gan send cordial invitation to Agui-
naldo, and Michigan will take rank as
the habitation of notables.

Is tho incident Closed?%

"The incident is closed" complacent-
~ says General de Gallifet, the minis
ter OF war, in an address to the corps
| commanders Of the French army In
| reference to the release Of Captain
Dreyfus. No doubt the military arm
OF the French republic would be glad
to thus end further consideration Of the
case which has attracted such world
wide attention and relieve itself Of
further responsibility for what the
world generally believes to have been
the most fragrant piece Of judicial
and military injustice in recent his
tory.
The pardon Of Captain Dreyfus,
while an act Of high expediency on
France, cannot, at least outside Of
France, be regarded as an act Of COM
plete Justice, nor does the exercise Of
executive clemency in any degree less
en- the responsibility Of the two courts
martial which adjudged the prisoner
guilty If he Is innocent.
The action of President Loubet and
his cabinet in pardoning Dreyfus is
practically and logically a plain con-
domination of the whole course Of the
military authorities in the case, and
the presumption is fair that the for
mer believe him guiltless Of treasona-
BILE conduct. If he were guilty Of the
high crime Of which the courts mar
tial declared him to be guilty, there
was every reason why the punishment
should have been even greater than it
has been and no reason whatever why
he should be restored to liberty. If,
on the other hand, Dreyfus was inno-
cent, then the action Of the first court
martial, and in still greater degree
the second, was outrageous. The par
don stamps the two courts as guilty Of
crimes more odious than was charged
against Dreyfus.
The pardon Of Dreyfus puts him in a
position to pursue his rehabilitation by
legal methods. 1t takes his case out
Of the military courts and leaves him
to carry it before the civil courts when
ever he thinks that he has the new
facts" that the interposition Of the
court of cessation requires. Above all,
it relieves France of the odium Of re-
fusing even liberty to victim of the
evident injustice Of it's military sys-
tenn. 1t substantially removes the
cause for that strained state of foreign
opinion that threatened serious conse-
quences for the country.
The "incident," however, cannot be
regarded as "closed" until Dreyfus is
restored to his rank in the army.

spoke quite highly of the display.
Mrs. Perry and Della returned

A. A. Shute has moved onto
his mothers farm about three
miles west of here. We will miss
Mr.. Shute very much but wish
him success in his new location.
Jerry Dow returned from Da-
kota last week. He reports very
exciting encounter with highway
men who got the best of him as he
carries black eye and they carry
his hard earned money.
Lou Russell came up last Satur-
day and went with the young folks
from here to the basket social in
the Reem's school house, in the
evening. The young people of
that district are raising money to

On Remembering Jones.

While it is. gratifying to note the
whole souled enthusiasm with which
we as a nation are receiving Admiral
Dewey, is it not pity that some Of
the surplus alteration which is being
lavished on that modest naval officer
could not be thinned out and spread
around where it would do more good?
For example, we readily attribute to
Dewey not only bravery, but all the
other virtues on the calendar, yet we
are apt to be slow in seeing merit in
the characters Of the men we meet ev-
cry day. TO the man whom we know
only through the printed word we give
eXtravagant praise, to our next door
neighbor niggardly recognition or
worse. Can we sing paeans easier than
speak kind words?
Why not save some of our eAthusi-
asm, which the hero Of Manila bay can
very we'll get along without, for John
Jones, who needs it? But Jones hasn't
smashed any Spanish fleet. No. but he
has trudgcd steadily along in the
straight and narrow path Of good ct-
Zcnship for forty odd years and shoOed
a family Of five children along in front
Of him; he has paid his debts and kept
out of mischief; he has been kind to
his wife and obliging to his neighbors.
1t would only embarrass Dewey to
hear you hurrah for him until you
were hoarse. But If you should casual
ly remark that Jones was a very de-
cent man and a good citizen and he
should hear Of it Jones would feel
pleasant for days afterward. He would
tell his wife about it, and she would be
proud Of him. Jones would think we'll
Of you, too, and nominate you for as
SCISSOR some day if he got the chance.
He would try harder than ever to live
up to what he thought was your idea
Of him.
And all this could be accomplished
without detracting from Admiral Dew
ey's glory in the least. In fact if lot
Of people were to scatter their enthu-
siasm in this way it might remove the
faint Of hysteria from our welcome to
1.-The third admiral" and, by adding dig
nifty, lend it potency.

In spite Of the confusion of architec-
tural styles and the ugliness of the sky
scrapers as seen in many cities in this
country, the prospect for American ar
chitecture is not so dark as many ma
tive critics have insisted. Leopold
Gmelin, formerly instructor at the
Art Industrial schools at Karlsruhe
and Munich, editor of Kunst und
Handwerk and recognized authority,
contributes to a recent issue of The
Forum an article in which he declares
that the change in the conditions Of
American architecture since the close
of the last decade "has created a COM
plete revolution in German professional
circles regarding the status in America
of this branch of the art" The writer
does not attempt to deny the bald IN
attractiveness Of the towering Office
building, but he points out that, these
structures having been made necessary
by business conditions, the American
architect cannot be held responsible
for them. Rather he is to be praised
for the skill with which he has succeed
ed in breaking the mOnOtOny Of the
great facades Of these structures.
American architects, moreover, in Mr..
Gmelin's opinion, have demonstrated
great talent in adapting and developing
the modern Romanesque style made
popular by Richardson. The beauty
and originality Of design-as, for in
stance in the skill shown in the treat
ment of the interiors of private resi-
dences-indicate faculty for further
advances along independent creative
lines
