Fritz Schwab, who spent the greater
portion of his life in Pilot Knob. died
quite suddenly in Illinois Thursday
evening last. Mr.. Schwab was en-
ployed in a coal mine, and had spent
the day at his work, apparently in
usual health. After eating supper he
was attacked with hear trouble and in
a few moments was dead. The re-
mains were brought here and inferred
at Pilot Knob Sunday. The deceased
was about forty-fve years of age, and
had no family. He was a hard-wOrk-
ing, kindly man and has many friends
here who heard of his demise with or
row. May he rest in peace!
The following is from the pen of ar
Indiana editor: The publisher of a
newspaper has one thing to sell and
one thing to rent. He has newspaper
to rent. Can anyone inform US why
he should be expected to give away
either the one or the other? He can
if be so chooses, and he does, as a
matter OF fact. furnish q great deal of
space rent free. But it does not follow
that he ought to be expected to do SC.
1t ought to be recognized as a contri-
button, exactly as would be the giving
away of sugar or coffee by a grocer.
But, strange to say, it is not looked
upon in that light at all; and yet every
body knows that the existence of a
newspaper depends upon the rent of
the same as a merchants success de-
ponds on selling his goods, instead of
them away"

That's splendid" exclaimed the
friend deligEtedly, when the article
was lead to him, THAT is right, that1l
make his old hair crinkle." ''All
said the editor, ''let me see,
what are your i~nitials?" ''Good heav-
eus." said the citizen, 'syou are not
going to sign my name to that?" why
asked the editor. Il would
have anyone know I had anything
to do with that for the world; l can't
afford to get into a fray with my neigh
bors." The editor smiled benevolent
" and said: why should | get mixed
up in a scrap that does not concern
me? Why should you expect me to
assume the blame for the publication
of an article to which you are afraid to
sign your name?' The man stopped
his paper and went away mad.
