without candidates selling their integ-
rity, by catering to the lower and baser
element OF society. And 1t is difficult
to get man to make a clean fight for
the right. l believe that partisanship
should be laid aside and the highest
and Best interests of the citys welfare
be considered, for the interests of tho
community are the interests Of the
people. A man who is elected to an
Office with the city's interest at heart
will not be afraid to do his duty.
ECONOMICALLY.
Naturally If city's politics are
clean, her material and economic in
terests will be handled for the best
interests of her citizens. Being elect
cd to Office is small matter COM
pared to the weighty responsibilities
which accompany 1t. A citizen has a
right to know that the money he pays
as tax be honestly handled and that
none of his rights are trampled upon.
He has right to enjoy the highest
and best privileges and blessings of a
material character at as low a cost as
possible. and this can be had in any
city where economic and material in
terests are handled In an unselfish and
clean manner.
MORALITY THE REMEDY.
If the political and economic condi-
tions or civic life are clean we cannot
help but think that the social andinoral
conditions will be OF the highest and
best type. am opposed to anything
that mars the highest and best inter-
ests of man and ] believe every true
man should be. The man who today
says that we must have the saloon, the
gambling den and kindred evils; the
man who says that places OF business
and dens of vice cannot be closed on
the Sabbath, is unfit for Office and the
sooner they are laid aside the better
1t is for the community. Clean politics,
clean economics and the highest and
best moral social conditions will help
remove all Of the pathological condi-
tions and usher in new era in the
municipalities Of this great nation.

~ Railways &

| The United States supreme court
has decided against the state Of Mis-
sissippi in the case against the Pull
man company. The state through its
revenue agent sought to collect a tax
of 500 per car and rs cents per mile
for every mile covered by the cars
of the company within the state. The
opinion of the court was rendered by
Justice Holmes, who said that the tax
was privilege tax and the company
was not compelled to run its cars in
the state of Mississippi.
The yard Office force of the Wheel
ing a. Lake Erie at Columbus has
been notified of raise of 10 per oelt
in their salaries, indirectly as re-
suit OF their recent conferences at
Cleveland. Seven men are affected by
this raise, which makes the average
salary about $55, The only employees
who have not received a raise are the
car checkers and call boys. They, say
that the prospects of an increase In
their salaries are very remote. 1t Is
probable that all conferences between
the management and the employees are
now over, although the firemen say
that they still have several small
matters to bring before their en-
plOyes. The fact that the officials OF
the company have all gone to Toledo
again is another good sign that they
consider all business with their en-
plcyes completed.

NEW CLOTHES
NEARLY DUE
Warm Weather's Approach Has Spe-
cial Significance for Well
Dressed Men.
This YEARS SUMMER STYLES.

The first warm breath of spring,
such as was felt in the city Friday,
made people think of the coming sum-
mer and of what they were going to
wear. Business men are returning
from eastern trips where they have
been making spring purchases, travel
ing men have filled the registers Of
the different hotels and it is needless
to say that it will not be long before
the store windows will be resplendent
with new clothing, shoes, and many
other things to wear.
Although it will be the middle of
May before straw hats will be worn,
merchants have placed their orders and
the new spring and summer styles have
already been determined upon. Tie
hats will be low crowned, wide
brimmed and made mostly of smooth
straw.

Canton Markets

The egg market took jump Ct
two cents Saturday owing to the
eagerness of dealers to secure the
fresh eggs that were being brought
into the city. The paying price was
advanced to II cents and the retail
rate to 20 cents a dozen. These quo
tations held Monday and will remain
several days it is thought.
Some dealers are Offering poor
quality Of potatoes below the market
price. The supply of tubers is large
enough that there is no fear Of
shortage. The new home crop will
not be on sale for three months yet,
but southern shipments will be re-
ceived much in advance Of that time.

Sensation at Hot Springs.

A sensation was created at Hot
Springs a few days ago when ii be
came known that ID. w. Claiborne had
been arrested on a warrant charging
him with the killing of Abner Gaines
about two years ago The dead boy
Of Gaines was discovered in his room
in the Gaines block one morning, in
November, 1901, with his throat cut
almost from ear to ear. A bloody
knife was found by the side of the
dead man. Mrs Gaines, his wife, who
occupied an adjoining room and who
discovered the body of her husband
gave the alarm and soon a large
crowd assembled to view tue body
while it discussed the tragedy At
the inquest which followed a verdict
of suicide was returned. There was
some speculation INDUCED in as to
the theory of suicide, but this theory
was accepted by the public. However
a brother of the dead man continued
a quiet investigation and il was on
warrant sworn out by him that Clai-
borne was arrested 1t is reported a
warrant was sworn out charging Mrs.
Gaines with completely in the crime
Claiborne left Hot Springs some time
ago going to Fayetteville and engag-
ing in the mercantile business. He
was released on 1000 bond.

PASSENGERS Were Lucky.

Tha. a passenger train loaded with
passengers going at a speed of forty
miles an hour could take a tumble
down thirty-foot embankment and
no one receive fatal injuries seems
preposterous, but such did occur on
the Iron Mountain several days ago,
The train was south bound and at a
point twelve miles nortn of Prescott
the tender Of the engine jumped the
track and threw the entire train with
the exception of three sleepers, down
the steep embankment. There were
eight coaches wrecked, including two
mail cars, baggage, express, colored
coach, diner and one sleeper. The
embankment down whicn they roll
ed was soft dirt, and the coaches re-
maned unbroken. The train was
running about forty miles an hour,
and when the engineer discovered
the tender of the track his first i'm
pulse was to clear trestle bridge
forty feet high, which he was just ap-
preaching, and into which the train
seemed doomed to fall. In this at
tempt he was successful as the
wrecked sleeper lay Immediately
across the bridge wnen the train
stopped. A Mr.. Kuhn of St Louis
was the only passenger seriously in,
jured.

farmer, residing in Mineral township,
was shot from ambush and killed, j.,
c, Lindsey, neighbor, was arrested
charged with the crime. With others
Todd had been working the road and
shortly after quitting time, after he
had departed for home, his compan-
ions heard the report Of a double-bar'
rel shot gun. Nothing was thought Of
this, however, at the time but the
following day Todds body was found
in the road, riddled with buckshot
Lindsey was arrested upon testimony
of several neighbors that the two had
had trouble Todd is said to have been
a member Of a gang Of cattle thieves
that operated several years ago, and
that he escaped by turning states ey-

the food he wanted. Not only this, but
every day, without break, the bird,
which by this time the men had named
"Dick, came back, and just as regularly
was he supplied. This soon grew into a
habit; and the preparation CT Dicks al
lowance became one of the cooks fixed

seen again until about the first Of the

and kept up as during the previous year.
Then, as the first Of April drew near
Dick would again take himself of to his
summer home, wherever that might be,
only faithfully to return with the fol-
lowing October
This repeated going and coming, with
the constant round Of daily feeding, was
kept up for "a consecutive years; and

lightship, writes to us that the last seen
Of the old fellow was in April 1895
when according TO his custom, he left
for his summer vacation, but, for the
first time in a years, failed to return the

What became Of him no one knows,
His great age may have so enfeebled him
that he was unequal to the long flight TO
and from his unknown summer home,
He may have chosen to stay there, or he
may have died Of old age

that during his last visit Dick plainly
showed the effects OF his increasing
years, and that he was no longer able to
hold his own with the other gulls In
maintaining his exclusive right to the
bounty thrown out from the lightshlp.
