At the campfire of the Society of the
Army of the Philippines. in st. Paul. Gen.
eral Hale, one of the returned heroes of the
army. spoke of the attacks that had been
made upon 1t by political demagogues and
false humanitarians. He praised the Presi-
dent. the secretary of war and the great
ma jority of the people for defending the
army against these mosquito-like attacks
and said: To-day the mosquitoes are prac-
tically exterminated, as the American peo-
pie have always eradicated unjust traducers
of the American soldier In the performance
of his duty" The mosquitoes are not quite
exterminated; they will buzz a little dur
ing the next campaign. but their sting is
gone.

An Arcadian Scene.

Noblesville Qnd.) Ledger.
There were quite a number of people
on the streets of Arcadia Friday afternoon
and evening to attend the street fair at
that place. and they were treated to a
somewhat peculiar spectacle. Some men
had been butchering and were remarking
about their skill when one spoke up and
said he would bet the men he could pro-
duce a man who could kill and dress a
beef in twenty minutes Many who were
from Missouri took exceptions to this claim
with the result that there was soon between
slo and 500 up. Arrangements were made
for the contest. Ed Clouser was found and
a beef brought in front of the Greenwood
meat market. There the beef was killed
and dressed by Clouser. The head and feet
were off in seven and one-half minutes and
the hide was taken off and the body dressed
for the block in another seven and one-half
minutes, making fifteen minutes in all for
the killing and dressing the entire beef.

1t Is evident the only hope the Sentinel has
of Mr.. Holtzman's election as mayor is in
the votes of dissatisfied Republicans. That
there are some dissatisfied Republicans is
doubtless true: there always are. But there
is also a large number of dissatisfied Dem
ocrats. The Sentinel is paying no attention
to the latter. but is making daily appeals
to dissatisfied Republicans to vote for
Holtzman on the ground that "he is the
only man who can beat Bookwalter." Dis
satisfied Republicans will probably think
several times before they help elect a DEM
ocratic mayor who confessedly has no
chance of election without their votes. If
they should contribute to this result then
dissatisfaction would soon be changed to
disgust.

VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY
TROLLEY COMPANY DIRECTORS AND
OFFICIALS ACQUITTED.

of ~Manslaughter.

legged neglect OF their duties. caused The
death of Ernestine Miller. Miss Miller, who
was a high school pupil. was killed. with
eight others, in the Clifton-avenue cross
ing accident on Feb. 10.
The motion to dismiss the indictment
was made at the trail by Richard V. Lind
abury OF counsel for the defendants. In
instructing the jury TO find a verdict os
not guilty. the chief justice said that In
order to hold the defendants criminally re-
sponsible it must be shown that they had
failed TO perform some special act. This.
the State had failed to do. he said. The
chief justice then went on to state that
the claim of the State that the derailins
switch is universally in use, was not
proved, as statistics show that less than
10 per cent. OF the trolley crossings over
steam railroad tracks were provided with
derailing switches. That, the chief justice
said, left il a question whether other safe
guards were not equally good Inc cnlet
Justice then referred to the rules OF the
North Jersey Street Railway Company as
laid down TO its employees as sufficient safe
guards under ordinary circumstances IL they
had been carried out. He said from the evil
dence 1t was apparent that IL sand had been
used as called for by the rules, had the
car been stopped thirty feet from the cross
ing as the rules called for, had the con-
ductor gone ahead TO the crossing TO sigma

happened. justices Van Sycle and Dixon
both concurred in the opinion Of Chief Jus
tice

guilty without leaving their seats. The de-

PANAMA, Colombia, Sept. 3.-One of the

Babel. Confusion, he says, reigns among

Marroquin is able to sign one it will be
