A DISAPPOINTED REPORTER.
Why One Call on Miss Grace Dodge
Was All That She Cared
to Make.

A woman newspaper reporter, who
called upon Miss Grace Dodge, the
millionaire organizer and head Of the
New York Working Girls clubs, who
IL also the author of "A Bundle Of Let
ters to Busy Girls" says the Philadel-
phia Post. The servant looked sym
pathetically at the reporter. invited
her into the house, took away her wet
rubbers and shoes and brought dry
ones, an act which filed the visitors
heart with Joy. Then she brought a
cup Of tea and some biscuit.
After long wait, Miss Dodge came
in.
"Are you a reporter?' she asked
the newsgatherer. "Yes? I am very
sorry you should have come up here
this rainy day to see me. You know,
1 never talk about my plans for pub
ication, but we can have just as nice
time talking about books and pic
lures. Won't you have another cup
Of tea? Must you be going? I am
very sorry. Wait minute and have
the coachman drive you to your Of
fee or your home. Come up some day
when we can have more time, and III
tell You all about the Working Girls
clubs, but of course you won't print
any of it,"
The reporter rode home, but she
didn't call again-at least, not on
business.

A comparison of the Ohio Peniten-
tiary News with some of the papers
published in the sweet, pure air of
freedom results in an unavoidable re-
gret that an editor so able must stick
to so confining position. However,
there's always a bit of silver lining,
and the genius who presides over the
columns of the o. p. N. can snap his
fingers alike at delinquent sub
scribers and those who might want to
"take it out of his hide"

''The regular business, carried on in
France by ladies of the highest stand
ing, is to secure rich American brides
for penniless men of title. These
matrimonial agents receive heavy
fees when they are successful" There
are, of course, lots of good, sensible
American men who would not object
to the riches, but they draw the line
on having to marry such fool women
in order to get the filthy Doodle.

Improbable as It seems, says the LON
don Lancet, it appears to be a fact that
bacteria are able to cause the breaking
down of stone walls. Recent investiga-
tions have shown that nitrifying bao-
terra swarm in the mud formed by the
disiptegration Of cement in reservoirs.
and 1t Is believed that the decay Of ce-
ment results from the action Of nitrous
acid produced by the bacteria. Yet
these same microscopic engineers,
whose myriads undermine solid walls
Of masonry, are nevertheless Of i'm
mense use to man because they are chie1
agents in the publication Of water.

REAL PURPOSE
Of the Investigation Shown by the
Inconsistent Acts Of the
Democrats.

gators, Robert Eaisley, w. H. Pom
inert and w. G. Duckwall and the Ga
zette and the Dispatch, that have
been yelling thief and robber at some
of the best men in Highland county to
draws1, 1860 illegally from the county
treasury shows the realpurpose Of the
whole scheme. 1t shows that they
are not solicitious for the good of
the taxpayers but simply desired to
creep into the office under the cloak
of reform that they might grow fat
at the public till. And it is now plain
that all that was intended was to Sc
cure office for Democrats.
The pretended purpose, however,
was to recover money illegally drawn
from the county: to discover exactly
how the affairs of the county had
been administered; to insure more
economical administration: to define
exactly what was due each official
and see that he did not receive more.
An investigation conducted on these
lines would have received the en-
dorsement of all. The NEwS-HERALD
has always favored an honest admin"
istration of affairs. Every cent that
has been illegally drawn should be
returned, and the law should be fol-
lowed to the letter in the future.
The real result of the investigation
| ha al rNf
cratic ticket in the county. AS soon
as this happened the people who had
been calling for retrenchment and
reform suddenly became silent. The
investigation and economy in affairs
of the county were only spoken of by
Republicans. The boilers and Dem
ocrats washed their hands of the
whole affair. They had accomplished
their real purpose. Now was the
time to get in their graft. Less than
three months after the election the
laws are being construed to suit their
pocket books and what at one time
they vehemently condemned in others
is exactly right now as the money
goes to Democrats and Republican
boilers.
This should not be. The economical
administration of affairs should have
commenced at once. The investiga-
tors should be prevented from draw
ing fees not provided by law. That
is what suits were filed in the court
for more than $4,000 for. No one
claims that valuable services were
not performed by the officers sued.
Neither is this claim made about the
services of the Investigators. Both
stand on the same footing. The law
does not provide payment in either
case and the law should be followed.
1t is simply an attempt to do what
was condemned in otkers.
Two competent men could have
done all that the investigators did in
less than thirty days. Consequently
are not their fees exhorbitant They
have charged about five times what
they could earn at their private busi-
ness. Will it be paid? AS Kipling would
say, that is another story, which,
however, is told in another column of
this paper.

CONDENSED FORM.
Legislature will Be Asked to Pass
a Law Requiring that All Engi-
neers Submit TO Examination and
Procure Licenses.

The state legislature at its coming ses-
sion will be asked TO pass a law requiring
engineers of portable and stationary en-
gines and steam generating plants to SUBJ
init to examinations and procure licenses.
Thomas Bushnell of Sioux Falls has been
selected to go to Pierre during the meeting
of the legislature and push the measure
before that body.
The bill to be introduced provides for
the examination and licensing of all engi-
neers in charge Of stationary and portable
engines and steam generating plants. The
adoption of the law would not involve any
expense to the state, as the boiler inspect
ors provided by the bill would receive
their pay from fund created by the eN-
animation and license foes.
1t also provides for the appointment of
several boiler inspectors throughout the
state. In the case of those who operate
traction engines, they would for period
of one year after the proposed law went
into effect be permitted to continue in their
occupations upon securing permit from
some one of the boiler inspectors appointed
in accordance with the provisions of the
proposed law. AT the expiration of the
year it would he necessary for them to
submit to examinations and procure
licenses the same as i'm the case of cngi-
neers of stationary engines and steam gem
Grating plants.

COURT LET GIRL GO
BLINDED HER BETRAYER WITH
VlTRlOL.
Massachusetts Judge Holds tina,
the Young Woman Was Justified
in Throwing Vitriol IN the Face
of DIR. Frank Taylor.

Boston: The most remarkable criminal
court in many years, and which aroused
intense interest in the fashionable Back
bay district, ended when Judge Bond pro-
bationed Marian Rogan. who had blinded
for life DIR. Frank l.. Taylor, a dentist, by
throwing vitriol in his face ou! of revenge
for betrayal.
The girl had earlier appeared before the
judge and told her pitiable story. She
showed the whtc-haired justice her little
babe, of which she claimed Taylor was
the father. She said Taylor, after he had
kwrecked her life, had told her he was ire
sistible among women by reason of his
good looks.
In announcing his decision Judge Bond
said that from the evidence it appeared
DR.. Taylor had sought out Miss Rogan,
knowing she was a virtuous woman, who
had in no way wronged him, for the sole
purpose of causing her ruin: and after he
had accomplished it by fraud. deception
and the use of intoxicating liquors, if not
by drugs, he nnfeelingly cast her off with
out assistance and advised her to resort to
life of prostitution, and even boasted OF
disgracefu conduct with young women
and Others whom he had ruined. Such a
man is SO vile that l have nj sympathy or
pity for him in his unfortun. condition.
Judge Bond said he regretted Miss Ro-
gan did not leave the punishment of her
betrayer to a higher power than herself.

Dcsipota Factory Diniculties.

There is prospect that the desipota
factory, which was started at Aberdeen
about year ago by B. r. Neuman of In
dianapolis and capitalist named c. +.
Smith, who was represented in the busi-
ness by w. l.. Skunk of Pierre, will
soon be opened again, or removed to some
other point. Neuman ran the institution
into debt by cXtravagant habits, and after
the appointment of an assignee and the
purchase of the plant by Smith, it was
closed and has been idle for some time.
Skunk has recently been in consultation
with Smith, and the outcome may be that
he will take the plant and run it at Aber-
deem or remove it TO some point where
more capital can be interested and railroad
facilities are better and rates cheaper.
