The New York Times recently published
some figures for the consolation of the de-
spondent. 1t says that the value of our ex-
ports was SO. sss more last February
than during February. 1909: that the iron
output for the week OF March was 70 ODD
tons over the week of Feb 1. and 2i.e23 tons
over the week OF Feb. l. 1902. and that the
output OF the week of March /. s55.sss gross
tons, IL the highest on record. The Times
says there is comfort in these figures and
tells its readers that IF men will only raise
their eyes from the ticker and look about
them. they will cease to indulge In gloomy
forecasts OF the country's business Two
gentlemen In Wall street may quarrel over
. railroad. and persons affected with a
bearish interest may attack corporations
and institute strike proceedings in the
courts. but the country marches unimpeded
along the highway OF prosperity" All Of
this Is true and timely. but. being true, why
keep erumblsng about the protective tariff?

Racauets, Tennis and Squash.

The growing interest in outdoor sports
and games has given rise in recent years
to a new class of literature. generation
or two ago such thing as well-written
book on such a subject was unknown.
About the only treatise on any game was
that of Hoyle on card playing. The out
door games of former times had some
rules, but they were free from rigid pro-
fessional regulations. Now there are many
books on the popular outdoor games Of
the day. 'Racauets. Tennis and Squash

The faculty at Purdue will not be de-
TERED in its purpose to discipline those
who are responsible for the riot at La
fayette by threats that whole classes will
leave. The college strike Is not a peril to
an institution like Purdue. Any threat of
that kind should be met by a declaration
that if students leave in a body they
will not be allowed to return. There
is not another school in the country like
Purdue to which the men who leave that
institution could go should they leave Pur-
due. Doubtless discipline is no more loose
in Purdue than in other colleges, but, as the
public looks at it, there is tendency to
which should be corrected. The institu-
ton which is dominated by its classes will
not be much as an educator. The old
regime, with it's inflexible courses of study
its harsh methods in recitation, it's rigid
marking and its morning prayers, has been
modified, but it were better that it existed
now than that all restraint over classes be
surrendered. The old system gave scholar
ship and discipline, and caused a respect for
authority. If the less rigorous methods do
not enforce those qualities. such outbreaks
as that at Lafayette may be expected at
any time. The growing hostility of class
to class. the silly practice of hazing, which
is being done away with in some of the
best institutions, are things which have
no basis in anything sensible. 1t is a relic
of the days when the newer and weaker
was compelled to be the slave of the older

A subtitle of this novel by Malcolm Dear
born styles it "a tale of chivalry in the
days of Queen Mary, Elizabeth, and Lady
Jane Grey" The story begins in the reign
of Henry VIII and extends through to that
of Queen Elizabeth. 1t deals largely with
imaginary love passages between Henry
VIII and young Lord Arden's mother, the
wards Queen Elizabeth and finally be-
tween the young lord and one OF the
Queens ladies-in-waiting. Some OF the
characters in the story are historical, put

In SORE STRAITS.

Newspaper readers are familiar with that
species of literature which purports at the
outset to be an interesting bit of news or
gossip, story of adventure or other en-
ticing fragment and so leads the unwary
to a perusal, only to confront him at the
end with the unexpected assurance that
Bunkum's pills cure all ills, or that Num-
blin's excelsiorino is an unrivaled break
fast food. This sort of encounter with an
advertisement has an effect on the equanim-
ity of some persons similar to that follow
ing the sudden meeting of the edge of an
open door in the dark. The victims are
filled with wrath and resolve that never,
so help them, will they purchase the COM
modities so extensively brought to their
headquarters at Boston, seem to have
adopted the same unwise method of bring
ing their hobbies to public notice. Here,
for instance, in the esteemed Boston Tran
script is communication whose ostensible
purpose seems to be to describe a street in
cident in which balky horse figures. Now
everybody is pretty sure to be more or less
interested in balky horses. Such animals
are always amusing to the lookers-on. there
is always room for wonder as to what they
are thinking about, and there is a natural
curiosity concerning the problem of getting
them to move on. Therefore, the casual
newspaper reader is very likely to read an
item in his favorite journal dealing with the
subject of balky horses. In this case the
story is interesting enough, but after the
conclusion follows this paragraph:
Nine times out of ten horse becomes
balky through harsh handling. The driver
could do nothing. The two men who tried
to assist him failed because they did moth
ing for the horSe-the one thought that force
would do it; the other tried Establishment
The block will continue so long as we see
fit to employ such men to handle our bust
ness.
Then comes the nub of the communica-
ton, the point, the lesson to which the
horse story craftily led up: "Our Philippine
horse is balky, and we have made him so by
Ill treatment" etc, etc. Are the imperial
lists driven to this? Have they a cause so
poor that they must disguise it before the
public will listen? Must they hide behind
| doors and spring upon their victims else
have no listeners? 1t looks that way.

testified before the coroners jury that he resided
near the two homes where the belligerent parties
resided. Mrs Potter suggested to him that She be-
lieved trouble brewing and Potter, without
taking off the shade from his eyes, which he EN-
ployed in reading by the light. rushed out into the
street. Here he met Mrs. Hallack who appealed to
him to see Mr. Hallack and talk with him saying
to Potter:

rible!"
~ went right into Hallack's house" testified
Mr.. Potter, ''and was going into the right of the
hall when I met him coming out with gun in his
hand:
"You get outr he exclaimed 1 tried to stop
him and persuade him that he acting rashly.
While was doing this I heard my brother-in-law

will call it square, or words to that effect .

pointed the gun directly at Then l heard
Rouse say again
Look out, Ben, he'll shoot you!''
'Then in a second Iheard two reports right to-
gether-two of them loud and sharp and one
seemed to be dull one"
Potter's testimony regarding the matters
practically covered grounds already gone over in
relation to the cause for the trouble 1t evid-
ent from the testimony of Mr.. Potter that he acted
in the capacity of peace maker and that he was
endeavoring to counsel moderation on the part of
Halack when he went into the house. This is
borne out by Potter's good reputation as man in

between the two houses, the one occupied by Hal

MENT..

As the result of shooting affray Wednes-
day evening, at the old hospital building, Frank
Haack lies dead in the Office of the county
and Edmond Rouse is practically confined to his
home the result of the loss of a fore finger, a
portion of his hand and the nervous shock incident
to the trouble.
Mrs. Hallack is almost grief striken and demands
so friends say, that she may be buried by the re-
mains of her husband without awaiting the advent
of death Mrs. Edmund Rouse a woman against
whom the breath of suspicion was never directed
is grieving because her name has been mixed with
affair in which she could hardly avoid publicity
and retain the spirit of honor necessary to the
true woman.
of the tragedy 1t came as the result of alleged
insult to Mrs. Rouse and improper advances alleged
to have been by Hallack.
Summed up as one CLEANS it from the testimony
adduced at the coroners inquest the facts presented
and claims made by both sides amount to this:
of Mrs. Rouse recently the pretext of being de-
sirous of borrowing something and while in the
house attempted to drag her back into the hall
where he might kiss her. She repulsed him and
in a short time he appeared again stating that he
desired to borrow hand saw but it is claimed she
shut the door in his face. 1t appears that she
kept her secret long she could and finally
told her husband, who became enraged that he
demanded personal apology from Hallack. Ac-
cordng TO the testimony Hallack denied the
husband that he had made the advances claimed
nor had he attempted to acted in any manner
unbecoming gentleman.
1t appears that Rouse did not push the case at
this time but notified Hallack in effect that the
matter must be settled at once and that apology
must be forthcoming The first interview between
the two men seems to have occurred last Monday
evening.
On Wednesday evening events leading up to
the tragedy came thick and fast. B. A. Potter

The testimony of Mrs Hallack, widow of the
deceased. was pathetic in the extreme. With all
fairness, and yet the loyalty born of the love Of
wife for husband, she told her story to the coro-
ner's jury. While it did not strengthen the case,
so far as the charge that Hallack had made ad-
vances were concerned, yet she told her story
honestly and fairly and made the widows defense
for her husband who could not tell his story in
his own behalf as others had done.
She testified that her husband had told her
that he was having trouble because Mrs
Rouse had accused him, and admitted that he had
entered the home of Mr. Rouse during the latter's
absence, that he had asked Mrs. Rouse certain
he had extended his hand to her to thank her for
her expressions. This, however, he claimed to
his wife was all there was to the reports.
Potter, Mitchell and Rouse are brothers-ir,-
law They all bear good regulations Mr.. Rouse
has been employed clerk at the Roberts Rros
Mercantile establishment for years and is well
liked by his employers and the customers of the
firm. Mr.. Hallack was apparently, a harmless
man who would have been the last one auvone
would have suspected of committing wrong II
is probable that information will be fled against
Rouse and then the testimony will bring out new
facts One can hear rumors of all kinds and char
acter concerning both sides but the public should
not be prejudiced by these rumors, nor should
they be permitted to prejudice the minds of the
public.
The coroner's jury consists of T. r. Henne-
han, R. W. Price, Sidney Moritz, Charles King,
lnomas Cain and A. II. Colburn. 1t is a repre-
sentative jury and will sift the matter to the bot
tom. Coroner Trathen and District Attorney
Smith are conducting the inquest.
The verdict of the coroners Jury was that Ed
mund Rouse shot the deceased Frank Hallack in
in defense of his own life.
