That was a neat trick the Alliance
council turned on the Alliance Gas and
Electric Co. yesterday. In fight for
an increased price schedule the corpor-
alton officials came into court and
swore their plant represented an ac-
tual investment of 100000. Now this
same property is on the tax duplicate
for s17,95O and the councilmen savi
a good chance to administer solal
plexus blow. The attention of the aud.
itor was called to the glaring discrep-
to the original return, bringing the to.
tai up to $42,950. This incident Is
fair illustration of the plain unvar-
nished lies that are told by the corpora
tions in the listing of their holdings.
The officials of Alliance Gas and Elec-
trio Co. swear on one occasion that the
value of their property is $17,950 and
almost Immediately afterwards that 1t
represents a cash investment of $780,
600. The last statement Is probably
the truthful one, the other one is un-
doubtedly lie. And it will be founi
upon consulting the tax duplicate OF
the county, that certain other COM
panies are listed on about the same
basis. While the auditor is in thf
humor he might make few more $685.

The Logical G andIdate.

Tom Johnson seems to be the man
OF whom the Republicans of the state
are afraid. He is the one man of pos
1--WE ideas before the people OF Ohio,
and there is sneaking suspicion that
with him as candidate for senator or
governor there might be something
doing In the state this fall. It would
be good thing, though, to have
johnson make the fight.-Dayton

ent acted properly is not at issue. He
very likely was justified in his treat
ment of the man.
Peabody was taken to the city prison
and became III. He was fit subject
for the infirmary. When an applica-
tion was made for his admission, Su-
perintendent Bixler stated that he
would not receive him-that he would
resign his position before he would
take the man in. In the mean time,
the patient was getting only such at
tention as could be given him in Jail.
Finally, after the pressure became SO
great that refusal could not be made,
the man was removed to the infirmary
where, 1t is said, he was locked up like
a prisoner and his wife denied the
privilege of seeing him. One of the
points raised was that Peabody was
not resident of the county.

tions that are raised should be settled
after the man has received attention
The infirmary often takes in men who
belong to other counties and when this
fact has been determined the other
counties pay the expense. That is a
very common thing.
Some arrangements should be made
by which cases of this kind could be
sent to the infirmary and also to the
hospital Immediately without waiting
to hunt up directors or trustees They
are charitable institutions and should
receive all who come to their doors

tention. Minor matters could be de-
termined afterwards.

Publicity and divorce.

Justice Brewer Is right in his con-
tention that divorce suits should al
ways be tried with full publicity.
Secrecy undoubtedly promotes divorce
where publicity discourages it. Many
of the mismated will endure their bur-
den rather than have the facts spread
before the world. 1t requires very
high degree of social cultivation, as at
Newport, to secure perfect indifference
to the opinion of ones fellow man.

BALLOON TO DISCOVER
SWALLOWS IN OCEAN
French Engineer Thinks Waters Con-
tanning Rocks and TOrtuous Chan
nels May Be Navigated Thereby.

In his report to the State Depart
ment. Consul General Guenther. at
Frankfort, Germany. says the French
naval engineer Renaud calls. attention
20 the fact that a captive balloon, ris-
ing to a certain height. may be en-
ployed TO discover the presence Of rocks
beneath the surface Of the water.
Every sailor knows that in certain
parts OF the seas shadows can be de-
tected IN time by the coloring Of the
water 50 that they can be avoided. From
certain heights shadows are shown still
more plainly, as, for instance, from the
hills surrounding the entrance to Brest
From this il follows that from a cap
tive balloon at a certain height above
the water, especially In waters contain
ing many submarine rocks and tOrtuous
channels, shadows can be located with
the eye, and better still. through pho
Biography.
In some localities IL win only be pos
sible TO correctly ascertain the chan
nels and shadows by means OF a bal
loon. Mr.. Renaud expresses the opin-
ion that the balloon will become an i'm
