The editor of the Punxsutawney
Spirit had some views about trusts sew
eral years ago which he has now found
himself obliged to modify. Whereup-
on contemporary sneers at his lack of
consistency. HIS reply is entirely
worthy an intellectual being. The sub
stance Of 1t is that consistency is not
the highest virtue; that the man who
adheres to opinions which he has really
outgrown simply because he is afraid of
the clamor of the mob Is veritable
coward. Our brother is entirely right
Consistency is oitener vice than vir-
tue. Consistency has hindered individ-
ual progress and national upbuilding.
There are many men in the world who
are too cowardly to admit that they are
mistaken, or that they have espoused
the wrong side. There are others who
are simply what their early surround
ings made them; they have no original
opinions about anything. And some
there are who steadfastly adhere to the
conviction that it is better to be wrong
than inconsistent. This is colossal
blunder. Altoona Tribune.

Letter to j. A. Myers.
ReynOldsriLle, Pa.

Dear Sir: Here is Il curious condition
in the paint business, but it exists. N.
Avery, Delhi, N. Y, owns two houses
exactly alike: he painted one with n
mixed paint-took ~ gallons. Painted
the other with Devoe; bought II gallons
and had gallons left Same painter:
George Gilbert. Same result, so far as
looks go.
AS you are not paint maker, you
probably don't understand why gallon
OF Devoe lead and zinc contains twice as
much paint as gallon of some of the
mixed paints. Well tell you; A gallon
OF milk that's half water isn't gallon of
milk; neither is a gallon of paint that's
half lime and china clay, gallon of paint.
The following is the analysis of one of
the mixed paints sold in your section:
Lead, zinc and color IL per cent
Lime and China Clay 50
This 50 per cent of Lime and China Clay
is whitewash; it is to paint what water
is to milk-adulteration; consequently
the paint contains only Al per cent of
legitimate paint material lead, zinc and
COLOR while Devoe lead and zinc contains
100 per cent.
That explains why gallon of Devoe
lead and zinc contains twice as much
paint as gallon of some of the mixed
paints.
Yours truly,
Al f. w. DEvoE & Co.

HE is TIRED OF HIDING
Pat Grove Offers to Surrender to
the Law

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 14.-Chief of Po-
lice Donahue has received from Pat
rick Grove, through Il friend of the
latter, an offer to surrender himself
and stand trial i'll the courts il the
reward of $4,000 hanging over his
head for the alleged kidnapping of Ed
ward A. Cudahy, Jr., is withdrawn.
Chief Donahue did not accept the
proposition but made counter offer
to waive the reward himself, saying
nobody else could secure it. The
chief says Grove is tired of being
hunted and is willing to take chances
of a trial it the reward is withdrawn,
but expresses the fear of manufac-
tured testimony that would convict
him, if the reward were allowed to
stand. He says Grove is less than
500 miles from Omaha and is not
with his relatives.
Edward A. Cudahy, ST., was seen by
representative of the Associated
Press and asked if the reward for
Grove would be withdrawn. In reply
he said: YES, we will do anything
to secure Grove. This is the first
l have heard of Groves proposition,
but presume it is bona tide / still
believe Grove was one of the abduc-
tors of my son, but if he surrenders
he shall have a fair trial, and if he
gives himself up under the circum-
stances named the reward will be
withdrawn at once. have not heard
from Grove directly or Indirectly
myself, but Chief Donahue has the
matter in hand and I will have him
act in any manner that will secure
the presence of Crowe.''
There was another legal light Sat-
urday over the case of James Gala
han, held for perjury in the Cudahy
kidnapping trial. The plea in bar was
not argued, but Callahan's attorneys
filed a motion to quash, on the
ground that a grand jury has been
called and that indictments rather
than information is the proper pro-
cedure. The court said he would
call the motion up next Thursday
and indicated that he would overrule
it. Caliahan's attorneys are said to
be expecting Pat Grove to figure in
the case soon and are fighting for
time

THE NEWS in IOWA
PLAYS HAVOC WITH CITY LAWS.

Supreme Court Says They Must Not Con-
tiict With State Laws.
Des Moines, Oct. 12.-The supreme
court in sweeping opinion declares
that city ordinances enacted by mu-
inequalities for the prevention OF, and
punishment of crime, are i'll conflict
with the statutes of the state If the
latter contain laws corrective of the
same character of otfenses. The opin-
ion in question, however, is one de-
claring the ordinance of Iowa City
to be invalid, for the reason that the
prosecution of its provisions would
impair the administration of crimin-
al justice" and for the further reason
that the state laws have already pro-
vided for the punishment of violators
of the mulct law.
The opinion is in the case of Iowa
City VS.. Frank McInnerney, a saloons
keeper. The latter was arrested,
charged with keeping his place of
business open on election day. lie
was convicted in justice court and
also by the district court upon ap-
peal, both of the lower courts up
holding the city ordinance.
It is stated by TIE supreme court,
in reversing the case, that the city
ordinance in question simply reiterat-
ed the conditions of the mulct law.
This fine was less than that imposed
by the statutes of the state and the
enforcement of the ordinance would
no doubt have tendency to impair
the administration of criminal JUS
tice. The supreme court says:
AN attempt at making a breach of
the conditions of the mulct an offense
against the municipality is in conflict
with the provisions of the chapter
of the statutes known as the mulct
law. 1t is enough to say that mu-
inequalities, as general rule, gain
their power and authority from the
legislature and in passing their ordt-
nances are in effect enact.ng special
laws which to a great degree super
cede the general laws within the ter
ritorial limits of the corporation.
Surely then, an ordinance covering a
subject already fully covered in an
act of the legislature is in conflict

SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
Chester Tyler, Colored, of Des Moines.
Taken to Newton


Newton, Oct. 14.-Detective Hardin
arrested colored man in Des Moines
who has been suspected of the muir
der of DIR. b. M. Failor since Septem-
beS IL, the evening the deed was
committed in this city. Sheriff Hook
and =. d. Lyday, a nephew of Dr..
Failor Immediately went to Des
Moines and returned to Newton with
the negro. He is chocolate colored,
about 32 years old and gives his
name as Chester Tyler, residence Des
Moines. A crowd of about 300 was
at the depot to get a look at the
negro, as it had been reported on
the streets that he had made a con-
fession. 'Such reports are untrue.
However, the detectives who have
been working on the case think they
have conclusive evidence of his guilt.
No particular demonstration was
made by the crowd at the depot and
on the way to the jail, except an oc-
casional mention of a rope. During
the week of the Jasper county fair,
on Wednesday evening about II
o'clock, as DR.. Failor was returning
home from a professional call near
the c., r. l. & p. depot at Newton,
he was struck down at the northwest
corner of Jasper's lumber yard, rob
bed of his watch and money and
died from his injuries about six hours

Small Boy shoot. HIS Brother.

Des Moines, Oct. PA pistol in
the hands of Rudolph Rosenberg,
the S-year-old SON of Isaac Rosen-
berg, was accidentally discharged,
infiicting wound in the abdomen of
Louis, another son, years old, which
will very likely cause the death of
the boy. Rudolph was playing with
the weapon, and not knowing it was
loaded, handled it carelessiy. The
ball entered the lower part of the
abdomen midway between the pelvic
bones. 1t penetrated the intestines
and was not extracted. The injured
boy was taken to Mercy hospital for
a surgical operation, but his condi-
ton was too weak to permit it and
it was postponed.

yinton Girl Asks clemency for the Man
Who Shot uer


Vinton, Oct. 12.-The case of John
Benesh, charged with assault to COM
nit murder, came up in the Benton
county court here. The defendant
pleaded guilty and asked for the
mercy of the court. He was sentenced
to Imprisonment for two years. 1t
is probable the term would have been
much longer but for the fact that
Miss Agnes Jirsa, the girl whom he
shot, asked to have the clemency of
the court extended to him, and prom
ised to marry him as soon as his term
had been served. Benesh last sum-
mer shot the girl because she re-
fused to promise to marry him. He
then attempted suicide. For time it
was thought both would die, but both
got well. Now the girl says she loved
the man all the time. but thought She
was too young to think of marrying
She believes she will be old enough
by the time her lover has served this

found in the possession of Chester
Tyler, a negro we'll known in Des

of age. Circumstantial evidence is
strong against Tyler. He is known
to have been in Newton at the time
of the murder. The most direct piece
of evidence against him is the gold
watch that DR.. Failor carried at that
time. 1t has an inscription, on the
inside of the case to the effect that
it was given in memorium by the
family of Major S. G. Smith. This
watch was found Saturday in the pos

schLEY COURT or INQUIRY.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Schley
court of inquiry held but one session
yesterday, adjourning at 1 o'clock I'M
til Monday, in order to give those
engaged in connection with the in
quiry an opportunity for reeupera-
ton. Captain Chadwick concluded his
testimony and Lieutenant Command
er Sidney A. Staunton, who served on
the New York as an assistant to
Captain Chadwick as chief of staff
for Admiral Sampson, and Lieutenant
Nathan G. Twining, formerly of the
Iowa, were introduced as new wit
nesses.
Commander Staunton's testimony
dealt largely with dispatches for
warded by Admiral Sampson to Com
modore Schley, and while he was un-
der examination Mr.. Rayner outlined
contention in behalf of Admiral
Schley to the effect that the dispatch
written on May 81 was the first posi-
tive notice that the commander-in-
chief had given Commodore Schley
of the presence of the Spanish fleet
in the harbor of Santiago.
Lieutenant Twining said in his tes-
timony that while the flying squad
ron occupied a position five miles out
from Cienfuegos during the daytime,
the distance was increased to from
seven to nine miles at night. He was
in charge of the eight-inch guns dur
ing the bombardment of the Christie
bal Colon on May 81, and said that
all the shots from the American feet
fell short of the mark.
