Indianapolis News: President Fish,
of the Illinois Central, is radically OPP
posed to passes and would have them
prohibited by law under severe penal
ties But he believes that under present
conditions it is next to impossible to
secure legislation of this kind He
thinks, however. that We are entering
a better stage of the pass evil, that it is
coming to be more restricted and better
regulated. After ALL perhaps a reform
of this kind, like every other great re-
form, has it's roots in ethics and must
spring from an aroused public con-
science In the condition of things to-
day it is doubtful If any law would do
it good. The law would simply be ig-
nored- The moral or immoral phase of
the pass business must come to be a
public question Its injustice, its par
TALLY, its discrimination, the harm it
works both materially and morally
must be known and felt to degree that
shall stimulate a public sentiment that
win demand its ending. This will come
IN time.

He passed as a widower, and was
extremely polite and courteous, es-

company when not professionally
engaged much of his time was

began 10 be circulated concerning
his past history. The engagem ent

disclosed, so it is said, that DR..
Seymour had a living wife, a resi-

he deserted her in Ebert County,

IT Is \ FACT that protected manu-
facturers in the United States sell
their products cheaper to foreigners
than to home people. OF course,
they put the price to the highest
limit in every market; but if they
have competition in foreign mar
ket they can make a profit by sell
ing for less ,han they extort from
American consumers, who are shut
out from the benefits of competition
by the tariff. These are truths
which the people should remem Der,
and they should not forget that the

The Car loads of holly recently
shipped from the neigh ,ol hood of
Bolivar, have been purchased at
ridiculously low prices, considering
the fancy figures it commands in the
market. The smallest sprig is sold
on streets Of the larger cities of the
north for ten cents, while here a
crate will bring little above that
paltry sum. Christmas in the north
without holly would be like the 4th
Of July minus the fireworks. Re
mote from its growth, children are
told all sorts of things about it
that it is fairy berry from Santa
Clausland, brought by reindeers on
an early journey. Always popular,
the use of holly is more extensive
than ever. The brilliant green leaf
and gaudy little berry attract atten-
ton, and admiration everywhere. 1t
holds its color for two months, and
needs only to be removed when
Easter favorites drive it from its
point of vantage. This is the home
of the holly, but our people do not
seem to appreciate its worth. Here
after, those who sell from the tree
should demand something IN the
neighborhood of fair price. They
can get it.

Some one entered the meat market
Of JoEn Severance last night and took
about $40 in silver from the cash reg
lister. There was about seventy cents
in pennies and few postage stamps
that were also in the till, but these
were left behind by the thief,
Contrary to his usual custom, Mr.
Severance closed about eight O'Clock
last night, as he was in hurry to
get home, where some of his family
weYc i'll, In his hurry, Mr.. Sever
ance forgot to take the change from
the till, as has always been his habit
when closing up.
About II o'clock, Dr. Hart McCurdy,
who was going home, noticed that the
hasp had been pried from the screen
doors and supposed that a theft had
been comitted. Accordingly he called
a policeman and then went to the
nome OF MI severance, where he
aroused the latter, who hurried at
once to the store.
On examination it was found, as
has been stated, that about ten dol
lars, mostly in quarters and smaller
change, had been taken.
A stranger had been in the shop
Just few minutes before closig, and
it is supposed that he, noticing the
money in the drawer, which is always
left open TO facilitate rapid change
making, hung around in the neigh
borhood until Mr.. Sc1crance's depart
ure and then forced his way into the
store, The entrance was very cas-
lily made as the screen doors were the
only obstacles TO be overcome, the
inside doors Of meat market never
being closed on account of the meat.
Mr.. Severance says that he does not
know the suspected stranger, but he
is confident he would recognize him
III he ever sees him again.
