WHY could not some OF the petty
cases which are sent to the upper
court, be disposed of before Judge
Ball in the Municipal Court? These
petty larceny cases especially cost
the tax payers several thousand
dollars every year. Besides, they
fill the Jail at New Castle with lot
Of prisoners who learn no good and
when their terms of Imprisonment
expire, they are dumped. on the
city and county. In the upper court
on Thursday afternoon, the follow
ing law breakers had their SEN
fences imposed: Ella Mundell
charged with stealing bread from
Geo H. Huber, one month in Jail.
Harry Wilson, charged with steal
ing wall scraper, Is lashes and
six months; Josephine Lewis, COL
ored, charged with stealing IS from
M. A. Grub, six months. These
are only a few OF the petty cases
that take up the time and add ma
terially to the expenses of holding
, court In this county. Petty thieving
should be punished and there is no
reason in our mind. why these case
could not have been disposed in the
Municipal Court. 1t is near time
that some thing was being done to
facilitate the criminal business
which is growing every year IN this
county and being burdensome to the
tax payers as well as troublesome
to the court.

FRANK STEVENS and others of his
class should take warning from the
way former Congressman Jerry
Simpson was treated at Wichita,
Kas. Jerry was making speech
before q G. A. r. reunion. The
sockless statesman from the wild,
woolly west said: II glory in the
spunk Of Aguinaldo's men. They
are simply lighting to regain the
hand the Catholics took from them.
"A local paper has asked, '.who is
John Brown soul marching with
Otis or Aguinaldo?" Ibelieve John
Browns soul is marching with
Aguinaldo." Mr.. Simpson said he
would rather be with Aguinaldo
than with Otis. An old soldier here
arose and interrupted him with the
remark that his speech was drifting
too much into politics. whereupon
Jerry was hooted and Kissed and
calls Of ''put him out arose on
every side. Jerry appealed to the
crowd that he was coming to his
'.peroration;" then up went the cry
stake your peroration to Aguinal-
do" The band struck up 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner and Mr.
Simpson left the platform amid
loud cheers. This is the way all
traitors to their country should be
treated, as we'll as the newspapers
that are finding fault with the war
in the Philippines. This is no time
for men to make slurring remarks
about the Government and our trou-
BILE with the Philippines. This
country has war on its hands, not
Of its own seeking and the only
honorable thing it can now do is to
stamp it out as quickly as possible.

WE have received Il commun alton
from Bernard Campbell OF New
Castle, who complains OF the treat
ment he received while in the Aims
house. He says he has laid the
matter before the Board Of Trustees
Of that institution for their consid-
GRAFTON. Where there are SO many
poor and unfortunate under one
roof for care and treatment, it IS a
wonder that there are not more COM
plants. But, from personal obser-
walton, we have been led to the con-
clusion that the institution is well
and economically managed and the
inmates receive good food and the
best Of care. The superintendent
and the matron are kind and hui
name persons, who, person ally, look
after the needs and ants OF the poor
inmates, which number over two
hundred. These poor unfortunates
are warmly clothed, well fed and
have large comfortable rooms and
clean beds to sleep in.

SAY THEY ARE CLERKS
And Are Here to Take an Invoice of

c. G. Barry, r. D. Talcott, +. J. SAKE,
William Peterson ard Silas Weymuth ar
rived at the Bates House yesterday morn
ing from Chicago. When asked as to their
mission in this city Mr. Barry said:
1--WE are only clerks, and do not represent
anybody However, do not care TO discuss
our mission here, and it would be more to
your advantage 10 consult Mr. Smith, of
the Indiana Bicycle Company. Moreover,
1 do not think the people in general care
much about what We are here for"
a 1ditionaI efforts to get him to talk only
ended in another plea to be excused. While
the impression sought 10 be created was
that the men did not represent the rubber
trust, it is generally understood that they
do and are here in the interest of Charles
X. Flints Rubber Goods Company, which
has absorbed all the rubber tire concerns
in the country except the one owned by
John II. Webb, of Springfield, o. AT the
time of the announcement of the perfection
of the details of the wheel trust. G. f.
Smith said in the Journal that the bicycle
trust did rot intend to manufacture any
tires, but had agreed, as the price of the
financial aid offered by Charles X. Flint,
to turn all tire plants over TO the rubber
goods company and purchase tires from
Flint for al wheels made by the trust. AT
that time Flint had absorbed all the tire
plants except those operated as adjuncts 10
large bicycle plants, such as the Indiana
Bicycle Company.
III was given out last night that the men
now in the city are here as accountants,
representing the Flint interests, and are
taking an invoice Of the machinery and ma
terial in the Waverley tire plant before the
rubber plant is formally turned over TO the
rubber trust. The realty will not be trans
ferred, however, but will be used in the
development OF the automobile business OF

WORKS BOARD AFFAIRS.
Several Requests from the street.
Railway Company Considered.

The Beard of Works did but little bus
mess at the session yesterday morning ex-
cept to consider for some time several or
the street-railroad questions. The company
wanted permission to place eighty-nve-
pound steel rails in Washington street,
from the powerhouse to the Belt Railroad,
for the transferring of coal cars, but Pres
ident Downing, of the board. stated that
this would not be granted. The street-car
company argued that it had the right TO
haul its own supplies over the line. but the
beard will not permit regular railroad rails
20 be placed in the street. The larger rails
woIl3 cause considerable trouble to ve-
hicles.
The street-car company was also ordered
to stop work on the building of the ~
switch on Nineteenth street, at Alabama
street, until the board could approve the
plans for the switch. Complaints have been
received that the street is so narrow that
when the switch is constructed there will
not be enough space for vehicles. Mr..
Grant, of the street-car company. insisted
that the switch is necessary. The street
car company also asked permission tC
change the route of the English-avenue line
SO tn u 1t will run on Virginia avenue and
Pine street and then TO English avenue
This change is asked so that grass plots
can be built in Fletcher avenue, where the
line now runs. Several other minor re.
quests were made by Mr.. Grant.
The board approved the bond Of Austin &
ShoVer, the firm that will build the bridge
across Fall creek at Meridian street.
Contracts were let to j. Harvey Roberts
Tor the construction of cement sidewalks
and curbing on West New York street, from
Agnes street to 40 feet west of Lansing

RELATES A JOKE ON HIMSELF.
Representative Landis Talks of a
POstOffice Controversy.

Representative Charles B. Lands, Of Del
phi, was in the city for a few hours yesterday
and related story, which he said he con-
sidered one of the best jokes he had ever
heard on himself. He said that after the
troubles incident to his first election and
his second nomination to Congress he de-
cided. in view Of the many postoffice con-
troversies in his district, to select the coun-
ty chairmen for the most important post
masterships and that where there were no
county chairmen in remote localities he
would pay no attention to the candidates
nominated by the various primary elections
for the place. but would give out the patron
age for purely political considerations.
He said the people of WaveIand held
primary, however, and chose man for the
postoffice, but Mr.. Lands paid no atten-
ton to the popular clamor but selected a
man who had been prominent in the party
as a worker. Shortly afterward he had oc-
casion TO visit Waveland and net an old
man named Stebbins, who had been the
leader in the primary election which NOM
mated the man Mr.. Lands had ignored
Mr.. Stebbns was aged and palsied and met
Mr.. Lands as he stepped from the train:
He looked at him intently for while and
finally said in n faltering voice: We'll

head and hands, Il thought a man who had
nerve enough to settle this postmastership

town ought to weigh q ton"
