AN UNUSUAL SWINDLE.
Louis Kaufman the Victim and His
Loss to 800

Louis III. Kaufman, a secondhand
clothing dealer, 31 East Washington street,
is bewailing the loss of $50 through two
swindlers. Early yesterday morning, as
Kaufman was opening his store, he was
.accosted by a well-dressed stranger, who
represented himself as a travelling sales
man for a clothing firm. He said he had
a number of sample trousers at Smiths
hotel across the street, where he was stop
ping. He invited Kaufman to accom-
pany him to the hotel to see them. Kauff-
mann visited the strangers room, and
made a bargain for ninety pairs Of trous-
ers at 81 per pair.
An hour later an express wagon drove up
and on ii were two young men, on OF
them the alleged salesman. The two men
took a large trunk from the wagon and
carried it into Kauffmann's store. The
ninety pairs of trousers were taken out and
Kaufman paid the men $50 in money, re-
ceiving a receipt for the amount. When the
two men started away Kaufman noticed
that the lock of the trunk was open. He
asked one of the stangers regarding this
and he said the key had been lost and the
lock had to be broken. Kaufman be-
came suspicious and notified Captain Ger
Der, of the detective force. Gerber looked
at the trunk and saw that ii answered the
description of a trunk that had been stolen
from the Union station baggage room Mon
day night. The strangers escaped a police
search.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
MARION MAN SAYS INDIANAPOLIS
LACKS INCONSISTENCIES.
w. ID. DOdds Points to Efor to Raise
$15O,OOO for Technical Institute
Hotel Visitors.

Indianapolis is a beautiful city" said
Grand. land her citizens are progressive
as a rule, but 1 must say that / believe
they are lacking in public spirit. They
don't seem to pull together at times when
a little team work would be of the greatest
advantage to the city.
Now, take the question of raising the
$4,000 fund for the technical institute.
That sum ought to be a mere ~bagatelle for
a rich city like Indianapolis, and yet, when
1t came to securing the subscriptions, it
was worse than pulling so many teeth. 1t
was necessary to enlist the services Of the
~newsboys and the letter carriers and the
school children, and then Indianapolis had
to go to Anderson for a big subscription
and to other cities for a good part of the
$4,000.
IF Muncie, Anderson or Marion had had
such al opportunity to secure a great edu-
cational institution I'll venture my last
dollar that any of them would have raised
the required amount within sixty days, and
the work would not be attended by half the
agony that the people of indianapolis went
through.
indianapolis people don't boost their
city like they ought to, either,' continued
Mr.. Dodds. Chicago people are for Chicago
first, last n all the time, and they let
everybody know about it. 1t is the same
way with the citizens of Cincinnati; they
hold up the Queen City as the center of the
universe. Why, there are people living in
Cincinnati in this day who don't know and
won't learn that Chicago is larger than
their city. Civic pride may be carried 20
absurd extremes sometimes. but it never
hurt any city, and Indianapolis would be
all the better if her citizens had a little
more of it-not only of the kind that talks,
but of the kind that digs down into pocket
books to back public enterprises"

Cottage Inn School.

Supt. J. H. Nattrass, in Lafayette
county papers: Last week we visited
the cottage Inn School" district,
it. 2, Belmont and Kendall. 1t is
one of the largest and one of the old
est schools in the county. There are
fOrty-six children enrolled, and the
teacher has the work of eight grades
and is trying to do what eight teachers
are employed to do in such places as
ShulIsburg and Darlington. A spe-
cial school meeting was held in the
district last summer to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of organizing a graded
school of two departments, but the
majority was not in favor of the
movement. We hope the sentiment
for graded school in that district
will grow and finally result in the es-
Establishment of a State Graded School
for the support of which the state Of
ferS 800 annual aid. The people of
the Cottage Inn district take pride in
telling that Hon. II. Clay Evans, Pen
sion Commissioner, and Hon. W. A.
Jones, Indian Commissioner for the
United States, attended their district
school. The school is now taught by
G. Z. Milton, a graduate Of the
Platteville Normal.

The following, from an editorial ar
ticle in The Chicago Chronicle of Feb
Is, would seem to indicate that some
one on the staff of the paper has a
very vivid Imagination:
"Wide and keen interest is felt
throughout the northwest in the rae
ing event which takes place this week
at Mineral Point, Wis. Five times
as much stabling as the delightful
town affords has been applied for
Every inn is bespoken to much more
than its capacity. Private homes
have been kindly placed at the service
of the management for the acCOmOda-
ton of those unable to obtain lodging
in the hotels. The entries are numer-
GUS and the prizes will be borne away
by many victors.
'"Ihis racing event is not of a com
mon order. The noted boo1ies most
familiar to the turf will be cOnspicu-
Gus by their absence. The racing
event which has set our genial north
ern neighbor aglow with excitement
is a violin tournament"

HONESTY IN JOURNALISM.

The Evening Wisconsin Of Feb. i
contains timely and very sensible
editorial article under the baadino
Honesty Ia Journalism. It refers
to the fact that not very long ago, at
a meeting Of Wisconsin editors an
ex-governor of the state, Nv. D..
Hoard who is himself the editor of a
rural weekly newspaper, denounced
the city press as sordid and untrust-
worthy, and praised the country
weekly newspapers as the sole hope
and reliance of the people. The Wis
consln regards the charge against the
city press as being altogether too
sweeping, and pertinentIy asks: lis
1T true that to preserve his integrity
and deserve the respect of his readers
an editor must live among the cows"
The Wisconsin truly says:
: Men of wide experience have found
evidence that conscience and charac-
develop IN individuals from within,
ana are not dependent upon the place
OF mans abode. There are good
men and mean men in the country as
well as IN the city. The character Of
every newspaper reflects the character
OF those who conduct it. If they are
Intelligent and upright, the paper will
be SO too. If they are mercenary and
unreliable, their want of conscience
Will inevitably be reflected in their
newspaper. The public is not lacking
IN discernment, and its estimate of the
reliability of the newspapers which it
reads IS not likely to be wrong"
The Wisconsin is not disposed to
accept the theory which it says is now
current in certain circles-"that the
country editors, as a class, or to any
large extent, are men without loyalty
or Self-respect, and that few dollars
can buy them in patches, as desired,
to suit the purchaser, for the advO-
cacy OF political principles which they
know to be wrong and opposed to the
interests of their constituents"

The Evening Wisconsin takes a
very sensible view of the manner in
which Prince Henry should be receiv-

European Hunkyism. Perhaps he was
too sharp, but he told some pertinent
truths in a caustic vein. Grosvenor
of Ohio committed blunder when he
asked Wheeler whether he objected to
receiving Lafayette with great honors
when he was the representative of the
king of France. Wheeler instantly
replied, Certainly not. The Marquis
