The Fake Publications.
TROY Press.l

Many fake home. farm and fashion
papers or magazines" are scattered
broadcast thruout the land. and they
are invariably crowded with vile or
tctherwise Objectionable advertising OF
6 nature which is sedulously excluded
from the columns of respectable news
papers, regardless of the tempting rates
often proffered. Filthy medical an
lnouncements are generally prominent
in these pestiferous publications, and
parents should not permit their homes
to be polluted by accepting them from
The mails, even If they cost nothing.
Aside from all this, however after a
lapse of years efforts are made to col
llect, under threat of law, for subscrip-
ton account claimed to be due. and
sometimes victims are bulldoZed into
paying 1t. This is a clear gain for the
fakirs, who really reckon upon no re-
turns of this kind for the scandalous
sheets they have unsolicitedly imposed
upon the public.
A case recently came to our notice
where some ten years ago girl began
to receive a cheap magazine" of the
character noted. with the announce
lit kept coming. she repeatedly refused
il, and ordered it returned by the postal
authorities. But the sheet paid no at
tention to these notices. Then came a
letter, saying several dollars were due
for subscription, but if she would remit
half a dollar the indebtedness would
be liquidated and she would receive the
magazine" free for another year She
ignored this offer. and later a "collec-
ton agency notified her that the
money must be paid or suit would be
brought. This threat she likewise ig-
nored. 1t is simply a typical case.
Papers and magazines are not sent
free from philanthropic motives. There
lis a catch" somewhere from which the
publishers hope to bleed the recipients.
These sheets violate law and decency.
and the postal department should sup
press them. Indignant recipients who
are pestered with these unclean nui-
sances should write to the postmaster
general, advising him of the imposition.
He has the power to suppress them.
Such barnacles upon journalism should
not be tolerated.

down to date
The canal proposed will be about 140
miles long at the summit level and RI
miles in the lake. A depth of 80 feet is
to be maintained: there will be twin
locks, a dam will be placed at the east
ern end of the canalized river section,
and the idea of making a spillway from
Lake Nicaragua to the Pacific is aban-
doned. The locks will be TAO feet long
and 81 feet wide; the dam at Conchuda
will consist of caissons placed close to-
gether, with the joints between them
sealed, supporting monolithic con-
crete structure above low water. This
part of the DAM 731 feet long, will be
fanked by two f00-foot sections built
into the hillside in open excavation, and
core wells are to extend on the Costa
Rican and Nicaraguan sides 100 and

A SPooNEY COUPLE.
IDubuque Times.1

[
| A Dubuquer who came in on the Illi-
nois Central train from the east Mon
day night says that the passengers in
his coach had a great deal of amuse-
Imenteat the expense of very spooney
bride and groom. They boarded the
train at Apple River, and were on their
way west. On entering the car they
took a seat near the end, and where
only q few passengers were sitting. 1t
was no trouble at all to see that they
We're just married; and, IL there had
been any doubt in this respect 1t was
removed by the remarks of a party of
young ladies and gentlemen who ac-
companied them to the train. Take
good care of her, john write as soon
as you reach home We're the remarks
made, as the party babe them good
bye The train pulled out, and, at the
same time. the groom placed his arm
around her neck and glued his lips to
hers several times. All the eyes in the
car were focused on the rural couple;
but the scene was too much for the
passengers. both male and female. and
there was a roar of laughter that was
almost as loud as the rumbling OF the
train. The couple, however, appeared
to be lost in an avalanche of bliss, and
did not even look up when the occu-
|pants of the car laughed in fact they
were so engrossed with each other that
lit is doubtful II they heard the wave
of laughter that swept thru the coach.
The groom held onto his prize, never
once removing he arm which encircled
her neck. She did not need any red
stuff that is sold in drug stores to give
her cheeks the tinge of dawn. The sun
and air of the Illinois prairie had done
the tingeing business wit hgood effect;
and, while her face was not as red as
a lobster it was red enough for all
practical purposes. The groom, also,
had the appearance of having come
in contact with considerable sun and
air. Both, however. had another kind
of air-that OF rural simplicity; and
| it will probably be long time be-
fore passengers in railway car Will
have so much amusement. free of cost.
