PARTY STRIFE RUNS HIGH:
 DEMOCRATS MOST BITTER
His name is Cotton.


 The reward of Crowninshield's per- fidity, his bitter vindicativeness against Schley was the command of the Euro- pean squadron of the American Navy. As chief of the Bureau of Navigation Crown inshield had for five years vented his wrath against Schley, and had done so with the full knowledge, consent and en- couragement of John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy. and other higher naval beaurocrats, who had slated Schley for deep damnation b ecause he was South erner and a Democrat.
 Parheps not in the history of govern
 ments has conspiracy so infamous been
 organized against any other man. Crown
 inshield and his gang of slanderers deter | mined to destroy Schley. but the fact of | the unrighteous have overtaken them all | at last. Admiral Sampson, the chief | beneficiary of Crowninshield's perfidy in
 the matter of naval battle of Santiago, | died insane. He scarcely knew there
 had been battle.
 Judge Advocate Lemly is retired insane. Crowninshield now goes to oblivion and | with him goes Lieutenant Henry H. | Ward, who penned for the poor afflicted l Sampson that notorious despatch begin | ming with the phrase "the fleet under my command the most pitiful of all
 
 knew not what he did, being then in a | large measure insane, as facts recently l developed have clearly demonstrated. The excuse given by Crowninshield for his request to be retired Is probably false.
 yet Is thoroughly in keeping with the l character of the man. We are told that he got cross because the Navy Depart
 ment could not see its way clear to allow l him to keep the battleship Illinois for a flagship. He got "huffy" because he | could not sport the noblest of our ships
 much as if 1t were his private yacht, and | so he quits.
 The misfortunes that have overtaken | those immediately concerned in trying to rob Schley of his justly earned glory give pause to all men who seek to wrong others in any relation of life. | By retiring now with his relative rank I as commanding in Europe, Crowninshield | gets a retiring yearly allowance of $5,625,
 or H, 800 more than if he waited to retire | in regular order.
 Thus while trying to do the battleship martyr" dodge, he gets s1b00 a year ad- 1 dition from the tax payers.

new comedy, y"The whitewashing of Ju- lia," has been produced at the Garrick
 Theater. Violet Van Brugh and Ar thur Boucher interpreted the principal roles. It is a skillful and entertaining play, especially In the opening acts. but it left the audience rather lukewarm, owing to the omission to explain the "whitewashing'' of Julia, who seemed to have had some sort of a past"

 Hamilton. O.. March S.-Alfred Knapp when asked to-day how he escaped in so many cases until he choked his wife Hannah, said:
 That's what I'd like to know. They wouldn't know now if it wasn't for mv people telling that they suspected me"
 Tt was your getting married so soon after Hannah's death to Anna Gamble in Indianapolis that gave you away"
 T married Hannah twenty days after l Killed Jennie. Did that catch me? No, 1t was not my getting married. They wouldn't have made any difference My sister told.
 Mary was my favorte sister too. They ought to have shielded me instead of com ing here to the Hamilton police If your brother was in trouble wouldn't vou shield him instead ot giving hIm away? II amt the police that got me; its my sister Mary and her husband Ed Kinc.
 Why, the detectives in Cincinnati sus- pected me after Jennie was found. and fixed one of them so he quit following me and raised a riot with Chief Dietrich too, about 1t. Witte. with another detec- INe, was following me two weeks when one day on Central Avenue near Laurel street. they were right behind me had heavy cane and l let them get right up on me. Then l turned quick and hit Witte right over the ear He went down and he stayed there The other detective came after me, but I ran home Then l put a revolver in my pocket and went right up to see Chief Deitrich and told him that I would kill Witte if he did not quit following me and that l knew all the detectives and 1 would kill any of them he set after me. They did not follow me any more. l would have killed Witte that day If l had had a revolver"

ANOTHER BODY FOUND
ONE OF KNAPP's MANY MUIR
 DERED WIVES.
Corpse of Nude Woman Found in
 River at New Albany, Ind. The Modern Bluebeard Also Confesses to Another Assault.

New Albany, Ind, March 3.-Although Edward F. King this morning failed to positively identify the body of the wo- man found in the river here as that of his wife's sister. and a wife of Alfred Knapp, the impression is strong that the body Is that of one of Knapp's vic tims.
 The matter of Identification is extremely difficult The body is green from long ex- posture to the water. There is not a hair on the head. and the body is nude, save for stocking on each leg
 It is believed the body is that of Han- nah Goddard Knapp. and that it was put in rough box and thrown into the Mi ami River at Hamilton, O., December 2. floating on out of the Miami and into the Ohio and down past Louisville. where It rose to the surface and was discoy- cred.
 The Identification of the body was al most made certain last night by a minute description telegraphed by the authorities or Hamilton. In her ears were found gold wire earrings, and on the third finger of the left hand was an embossed ring with three little birds and an owl On her legs Were black stockings. and on the right leg, just above the knee. was a dark bruise. In every particular the body of the f1oater was found to tally with the minute description of his wife given bv Knapp in his confession.
 After being removed to the undertak- ing establishment of Shrader Bros. at llS w. Main Street. New Albany, the body was embalmed. and to a great ex- tent recovered Its natural color. De. composition had set in.
 MT. King is examining minutely the Jewelry found in the ears and the bruise above the knee. It Is believed that he- fore the day is over he will declare the body to be that of Hannah Goddard Knapp.

Obituary.

Fred Sorenson died at the home
of his sister, Mrs. M. B. Simon, in
this city, Sept. 8. Mr.. Sorenson's
home was in Menomonie where his
mother, wife and one child survive
him. He had been at work in the
country near here and was attacked
about two weeks before his death
with an aggravated case of appendi-
citis, this being the fifteenth attack
of the disease that had afflicted
him within two years. The doctors
found that an operation was an abb
solute necessity and this was per-
formed the Sunday before he died.
The operation disclosed an ulcerous
condition, the appendix was gan
grened as also was portion of the
large intestine which created sep
tic condition, resulting in his death.

Province of a Newspaper.

The province of a newspaper IS
not especially to make thin S
hum" as some suggest to the pub
Usher. That part of it is easy.
Anybody can make things hum"
by stirring up a hornets nest, but
experience warns fellow to let the
hornets nest alone--after he has
had one poke at it. Nor is it the
province of the country journal to
instruct people in their duty, or to
tell them what to do. 1t is likely
that each man knows his own bust
ness and when he wants advice will
ask it. In few towns are conditions
exactly as the people wish. Re-
forms and Improvement may be
needed. The rest of the people
know this as we'll as the editor does.
If things are not ideal and they can
be improved such improvement de-
ponds upon the disposition of the
people and their ability to secure
the end in view. The paper should
assume that the people know their
business and 1t should not presume
to advise or dictate. 1t will not
attempt to teach new facts or to
discuss expert testimony with an
assumption of superior knowledge.
Should it assume such role it will
either make itself the object of ridi-
cu1e or weaken its influence, accord
ing TO the nature and quality of this
attempt. It's proper office in the
premises Is to concentrate the views
of the public, to make itself medi-
UNI through which people may come
to understand each other. The
newspaper is an fundamentally to
bring men of the same way of think
ing together in harmonious en-
deavor to secure the exploitation of
a public benefit. The publisher
who wishes to be instrumental In
bene6tting the community will seek
to ascertain the views of the best
raen, will gather the advanced
thought of the wisest, and present
such sentiments to his readers.
This policy, pursued with wise per-
sistence, accomplishes something.
Thus the paper becomes force in
the community, commands respect,
secures results.

THE PIERCE COUNTY FAIR,
The Biggest and Best Ever at
Ellsworth, Sept. 22.2S.

The Minnesota state fair has come
and gone, and the crowds that at,
tended all seemed pleased with the
exhibition. AS citizens, all our
Pierce county people take great
deal of interest and pride in the
success of our sister state as shown
by the recent grand display of the
products of her farms and forests.
But the more near and personal
pride of Pierce county centers in it's
own county fair. Going up to st.
Paul and tramping the grounds in a
crush of strangers, where you can t
tell pickpocket from a preacher or
a con man from country editor,
may be all right, but as for us, we
want to go where you know every
one you see and are sure to see
every one you know. The local
fair is the social clearing house of
CAS bllO OSCllC VI Idll4lly IG-
unions and renewals of old &C.
quaintances. "See you at the fair y
you say when parting from friends.
The fair this year promises to ex-
coed all previous exhibitions in
every respect. A larger list of at
fractions has been secured than
ever before, including bands, aero
bats, trained horses, balloon ascen-
rions, races, ball games and sports
of every description, so that there
won't be minute of nothing do
ing"
Pierce county is one of the ban
ner counties of the commonwealth.
Let us all cooperate and make the
Pierce County Fair, Sept. 22-25,
worthy of the county we call home.
