1t is remarkable how much preju-
dice and ignorance are frequently dis
played in some of the big newspapers
who nay enough to get writers Of sbil-
ity and observation-disclosures. A few of
these big dsilies accuse the crew of
the Slocum With cowardioe and in
competency, simply because the crew
could not stay the mad rush OF .
panic-stricken multitude numbering
at least 1900, possibly several hun
dred more. As one member Of the
crew said in an interview, 1.-TWO hun
dred soldiers with muskets couldn't
have fought their way through that
struggling mass to the life preservers
and lfeboats, which were the only
means of salvation available after the
fire broke out" There is too much
pandering to the ignorant element
that is always seeking to blame the
wrong person or persons for human
ity's misfortunes.

1t has been stated that the building
Of steam and electric railroads has rem

true. They have superseded for time
the Improvement of our roads. but they
can never supply the necessity for
them. You had just as well assert that
the electric car in the city takes the

The question Of building permanent
highways is Of the very highest conf

active attention Of all business men.
The practice % long in use Of placing
the burden Of roadmaking upon the

Jacob Epler Murdered at Du-
shore Sunday Night.

Frank Yanney shot and mortally
wounded Jacob Epler in fight near
the railroad station at Dushore, Sun
day evening few minutes after the
arrival of the excursion train from
Harveys Lake. Both men are resi-
dents of Cherry township and had
been to the lake for the day, where
they had some trouble caused
through jealousy overa woman. 1t
is said that Mrs. Sam Epler, wife of
the deceased's brother, had lived
with Ianney for the past three
years On Sunday she escourted
Mr.. Ianney, single man of about
% years, on the excursion. A few
minutes after leaving the train at
Dushore, they resumed their quarrel
that had been begun while they
were at the lake, and Yanney draw
ing revolver pointed it at the
couple and fired several shots, one
taking effect in the woman's thigh
and one entering the groin of Mr.
Epler passed through his bowels and
lodged near the base of his spinal
column, causing death few MN
utes after 8 O'Clock Monday morning.
After the shots had been fired,
Yanney ran to the Office of DR.. Her
mann and locked himself in back
room. A warrent was placed in the
hands of Constable Ira Cott who
went to the room and demanded
Yanney to open the door which he
did without hesitation. He deliv-
cred the weapon to Cott when re-
quested to do so. 1t was found to
have but one empty chamber.
Yanney was brought to the La
porte Jail Sunday night where he
will await the trial of a terrible
crime. Epler was single man 33
years of age.

was pronounced hy the impartial
nations as the most sensational
played on the Eagles Mere Diamond
this season, the score being ) to 6 in
favor of Hillsgrove. A feature of
the game was the remarkable elastic
ity of the imagination of the Sones-
town rOOters, who were unanimous
in pronouncing Earnest NOrten, a
boy of sixteen, a married man with
four children. Some went so far as
to ask if this amalgamation was

A paragraph was inserted two or

our base ball team was hard to beat.
Tuesday proved it true. A newly

but fair to state that the team is
composed not of men, but of boys.

age.
Many teams would have refused
to play anything so evidently their
superior in age, physique and ex-
perience, but our boys are noted for
heir gentlemenly and courteous
conduct. Not even to sustain their
record would they disapoint a guest.

Bernice scored ), Sonestown o until
the 5th inning, when Hall's train
arrived, and Laird also came to his
,lace at the bat. Then the tide
turned somewhat. Not only did our
poys prevent Bernice from gaining
mother, but Lorah made a score for
he home team. The latter fact was
omewhat to be regretted because il
had Il bad effect on the tempers of
