The present condition of the upper

been compelled to go to the bank and
they win prorably remain there for
some time, as indications are that the
river will be frozen over A large mum
Der of boats have taken refuge In the
mouth of the Muskingum, where they
are safeso far as ice is concerned. The
Kanawha was the last packet in. She
floated all the way from Wheeling to
this city arriving at a late hour We'd
nesday night, Her crew left over the

Deserved Punishment.

A local in a Chicago paper that Miss
Lucille Chapman, prominent in the
younger social set of Springfield, H..
complained to the Chicago police that
she had been lured to Chicago by
Charles Dreadeau, New York drum
mer, under promise Of marriage. He
had robbed her of S115 and deserted
her. Miss Chapman was penniless and
was given shelter in the annex of the
Harrison Street Police Station. She
met Dreadeau while she was returning
from church one Sunday night He
addressed her and was invited to call
that evening. They left for Decatur
that night to be married. Monday
they came to Chicago. After a week
in Chicago he told her that-he was go
ing TO take her with him to New York.
He abandoned her ON the train, which
she found was going to Springfield,
III. What can be thought of girl of
average intelligence who would fiirt
with man, invite him to call the
same evening and then elope with him
the same night, without knowing a
bit more about hlm than she knew
of an angel above or demon below?
Small wonder that she was deserted.

A Pubic Printing Abuse.

THE gross abuse to which the public
printing system at Washington Is IL
able was striklngly suggested the 9th
er day in the Senate A Senator ask
ed that certain political speech which
had been delivered outside the Senate
and by n man who was not Senator
nor Government officer of any kind,
be printed as Senate Pub. Doc" at
public cost, for free distribution
through the malls. Objection was
promptly and properly made to this
request. Thereupon the Senator re-
marked that he could override the OBJ
lection and compel the publication OF
the speech in question simply by read
ing it to the Senate and having II
printed as a quotation made by him
self in the course of his own remarks;
and the objector admitted that this
could be done.
AS a matter of fact, Just such things
have aready been done. Not long ago
it was discovered that reasonable
matter had thus been printed as public
documents and was being circulated
through the mails with the imprint of
the Government Printing Office! The
stuff had been prepared by some crank
outside of Congress, introduced into
Congress by some good-humored,
thoughtless or malicious member, and
not read, but ordered to be printed"
by a House glad to escape being bored
with the reading of It, Thus, we sup
pose, a Senator or Representative
might procure the publication, at pub
ic cost, of "Rasseas" or Aesop's "Fa-
bles." Thus, as is we'll known, vast
quantities of partisan political litera-
ture, originating outside of Congress
and having no relation whatsoever to
the legitimate business of the Govern
ment, are printed at public expense.
1t is a gross abuse. The public
printing Office should be called upon to
print only documents relating to the
public business transacted by the Gov
ernment The actual and bona fide
proceedings of Congress, including res
olutions, speeches and debates, con-
stitute such business. 1t is an illegi-
innate stretching of courtesy and of
Justice to try to include stump
speeches and magazine articles and all
the output CT party literary bureaus. y
These are not Pub. Docs in any
lawful sense,and to seek to make them
so by any device is an imposition on
the country.-New York Tribune.

charming personality possessing grace

Andrews Opera Co.

The appearance of the Andrews OPP
era Company at the Auditorium next
Monday evening will doubtless prove
the event OF the season in the way of
a musical treat, as this aggregation is
unexcelled in their various produc-

Foremost in their repertoire this
season is Flotow's Martha"

of unquestionable ability, who have

Rockland.

The old folks social held at the res
idence of 1. w. Putnam recently was
most delightful and successful meet
ing.
The residence, a hundred years old,
in which the accomplished Mrs. Blen-
nerhassett once led the stately minuet
the old-fashioned fire place with its
glowing backlog and fore stick; the
in the olden time, they used to reap
the harvest, spin and weave, clear the
forest, lay the foundations of early
! libraries; and in lighter vein of how
they used to attend huskings, log-roll-
ing and country frolics-all combined
to bring both old and young to reali-
zation of the marvellous changes of the
last fifty years.
There were those present who had
handled the whip-saw, the old reaping
hook; who had worked at the loom
the old spinning wheel or wool carder;
and one was especially grateful to the
inventor of the tinder box, as 1t had
saved him many trips to the neigh
bors to borrow fire.
At one time on the Putnam farm,
twenty-six men have been engaged in
the wheat field, and the good wife is
| said to have used a barrel of -four in
one week in making bread for the har-
vesters.
The younger ones marveled how
their grandmothers managed to card
spin and weave, cut and make with
the needle the clothing for the family
and to cook with their primitive meth
DDS for the family and the host of Wis
itors who used to come.
The older ones vowed there never
was such cooking as their mothers
did. The younger reminded them that
boys appetite has no memory.

Court News.

The dine was occupied in Common
Pleas Court yesterday in calling the
docket, hearing motions and other
routine business.
The case of James Amos against the
Henderson Oil Co. was settled at costs
of plaintiff.
Two bastardy cases were dismissed
for want of prosecution: Minerva
Goodwel against James Dyar. of
Macksburg, and Celia Smith against
John Petty.
In the case of Carl W. Dye against
Sherman e. Dye, the defendant elects
to take premises at appraised value,
The sale was confirmed; deed ordered
and order of distribution.
The case of Joseph Alloway, super
visor, against C. @. Slower has been of
considerable interest to the people of
New Matamoras and vicinity. The de-
fendant refused to perform two days
labor upon the public highway, as re-
qulred by supervisor, who brought
suit against him on that issue. 1t is
said that the Trustees of the township
do not support the plaintiff in his ac-
ton. Yesterday the demurrer to petit
ton was sustained and the plaintiff,
not desiring to amend or further
plead, the defendant was allowed to go
hence without his day and recover of
plaintiff his costs.
A number of other cases were con-
tlnued, The petit jury will reassemble

War Maxirns Up-to-Date.

The history thus far of Great Brit
ians attempt to crush the Beer repub-
lies suggests new version of war
maXfms:
Trust in God and get the best guns.
God is apt to be on the side of the
strongest positions.
Uniforms do not make soldiers, nor
does gold lace make generals.
After raid prepare against inva-
sion.
Thrice is he armed who can shoot
straight at long range.
To underrate your enemy is even
more foolish than to overrate your
self
Men who prepare for battle by say
ing psalms must not be despised be-
cause they seldom take bath.

ly breechcloth or pajamas is diff
ferent proposition from fighting

ers and carry Mausers.-New York

The Killed at Spionkop.

1t is somewhat surprising, after all
the attention that has been attracted
to the recent battle at Spionkop, to
learn that the British loss was only
139 killed. From all that has been
said about the whitening fire" pour
ed out by the Beers from rifles, Nor
denfeldts, Maxims and heavy artillery
one would have been led to have sup
pose that the killed would run into
the thousands. But in spite of the
vast Improvement in the range and
rapidity of weapons of war it appears
to be harder to kill a soldier than it
ever was. In many of the wars of the
century an engagement in which there
was loss of no more than 139 would
have scarcely been chronicled, and
would not have been regarded as haV-
ing any important influence on the ul-
tlmate result of the conflict.
1t looks, indeed, as If the improve
ment in weapons would reduce in
stead Of increase the number of cas-
ualties, and as if they had made war a
safer occupation. The cause of this is
that it has been found necessary to
change the methods. A column can no
longer make a wild rush against an
intrenched foe, in the old style The
Dervishes did this at Omdurman and
the result was that very few of them
survived until they came close enough
to reach the British with their style of
weapons. Two bodies of troops meet
ing each other in the open would be
apt to be mutually annihilated, sin
gle machine gun, getting the range,
being capable of practically wiping
out regiment. Fighting is reduced to
a system on lodging. To this is also
due, in great part, the successful de-
Tense which an inferior number of
Beers is able to put up against the
British. Entrenched positions held by
a capable foe are almost impossible TO
appraoch. Thus it happens that while
weapons of war are infinitely more
murderous than they ever were before
the casualties of actual fighting are
shown to be greatly reduced. and we
shall probably never again witness
such slaughter as came about at Get
tysburg, Sedan, Spottsylvania, Grav-
elotte and other great battles of the
century. Times.
