The police department of any city is
constantly open for criticism, ana Is
continually being criticized more OF
le~e. A Pinkerton man, however, mas
declared that he never received better
assistance in any town than he ala
here on circus day, at the hands or
the. men of City Marshal Nicholson
and Sheriff Hutson. The case OF one

The death of Fred Rockefeller, in a
Wisconsin penitentiary, could be
drawn as an object lesson to any young
man. Rockefeller came here ten years
ago, a stranger, with money, having
inherited q fortune from his father.
He engaged in the saloon business,
got to gambling, and soon lost all OF
the many thousands of his patrimony.
His wife, a good woman, ana TWO
little daughters, were separated IRON
him by the divorce courts. and he
fell an easy victim to gang OF pro-
fessional thieves. The result was jail
and penitentiary, and finally an fgnom-
nous death. Many young man would
be glad of such an opportunity as
was young Rockefeller's and yet many
with the money thrust upon them,
might follow in his footsteps. 1t Is
better, after all, to earn ones money
know the value of it. and spend it ju-
diciouSlY.
