LOCAL COMMENT

Men who have business interests at
stake in the prosperity and progress
of our city can congratulate them
selves that an absolutely free press, a
press free from all restraint has
no circulation outside the city limits.
Citizens generally can also realize that
it is no small responsibility upon a
man to write for the public print 312
days in the year without making more
plumbers than are made by the average
successful newspaper publisher.
IL a man would run for public office
he should first see that all skeletons
concealed in his closet are securely
locked in. Neglect of this precaution
has brought one candidate to grief this
week and his campaign expense has
virtually been increased $1,665 for back
taxes, which have been assessed to
him and accepted by him. The T.-R.
has received several anonymous letters
from "a voter" complaining that the
newspaper is quick to publish the ar
rest of poor man for stealing but
willing to condone tax lodging by the
rich The criticism is unfair because
the T.-R. has not condoned tax dodg-
ing in anyone. 1t was very evident,
however, by the way the councils res
olution spread it on so thick" that
the author of the resolution. who is
known to have possessed old scores for
settlement, intended to attack his en-
emy's candidacy fully as much as to
collect his taxes This would tend to
temper ones criticism. altho no one
will try to excuse tax lodging and If
the councils contention is right that
there are still more assessments which
should be made against this man the
council should proceed to make the
assessment. The county treasurer.
however, assessed only what he was
sure he could prove and in the settle
ment he negotiated would not have
been barred from making further as
sessments If subsequent disclosures
should justify him. The question of
taxing up the so per cent penalty
hinges entirely upon the other ques-
ton of whether or not this property
has been fraudulently withheld. Mr..
Webster argues that 1T has but the
county treasurer wants to be shown.
If it has, the man who withheld his
property fraudulently is indietable by
the grand jury.
The policeman who interfered as
peacemaker between the Irishman and
his wife, and received for his thanks
bat with rolling pin ovAs one
eye, and a "swipe" from the poker over
the other was wise man compared
with the newspaper or the citizen who
will interfere in the present municipal
campaign. The T.-R. predicted
month ago what would happen and is
sure now the prediction was right.
The candidates it has helped are the
most bitter because they have not been
given all they hoped for and the fac
lions it has given the freest hearing

c. M. Marion, of This City, Passes
Away at the State Hospital.
News reached this city Friday of the
death of C. M. Marion at the state hos
pital for the insane at independence,
Thursday morning at 9:45 o'clock. His
death was due/to Inflammation of the
liver. Mr.. Marion, who formerly lived
at S07 East Main street, was adjudged
insane and sent to Independence about
two weeks ago. His hallucination APP
peared to be his fear that his family
was starving to death. Mrs. Marion
thinks his mental arrangement was the
result of an injury to his head, receiv-
ed when he was a young man, which
finally resulted in softening of the
brain. He is survived by his wife and
three children, who live here. The
body was taken to Centerville Friday,
and Mrs. Marion and daughters, Pearl
and Goldie, left this morning to at
tend the funeral, which was held this
afternoon.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Few People Know Hiw Useful 1t Is in

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same clean

Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better: 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the gas
es and impurities always present IN
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears ana mn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural ana
eminently safe cathartc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases when
collect in the stomach and bowels; u
disinfects the mouth and throat from

McMains takes ',he view that as long
as he has been brought into the coun-
ell at a time when municipal affairs are
at fever heat, he will sacrifice him
self, IL need be, rather than lie down
at this time.
Mr. McMains Is a man of the strict

a locomotive fireman Mr.. McMains mas
been an enginee' on the road, beginning
that service on Sept. 10, 1876. His
record has beer in a sense wonderful,
for in all these twenty-eight years as
an engineer he has never been pulled

EPHRlAM HENTHoRN DEAD.
Former Marshall County Man Dies a
Linton, Dallas County.

Ephriam Henthorn, for thirty years
a resident of near Conrad, died Thurs
day at his home in Linton, Dallas
county, and this morning the body, ac-
companied by his son-in-law, A. f.
Rudy, of Hardin county, and daughter,
Mrs. f. G. Mills, of Bows, passed thru
the city to Liscomb, where it will be
inferred. Mr. Henthorn's death was
due to complication of diseases,
brought on by old age. He was IS
years old, and for thirty years lived
near Conrad. He moved to Hardin
county two or three years ago, where
he lived with Mr.. Rudy. He then went
to Linton to live, and was married
there last fall. He leaves a wife and
four children. The burial was this af-
ternoon in the Liscomb cemetery.

SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY
Sufficient Quantity Of Coal on Hand
to Warrant Opening Of All Buildings
School Will be Held on Washing
toms Birthday.

The school board has finally been
able to secure coal, two cars of con-
tract and two purchased from another
dealer, and on Monday morn ng, after
almost a weeks vacation, the schools
will open. Now that the blockade is
broken, and milder weather has re-
suited, it is thought that sufficient coal
can be secured to operate the schools
without again closing. Washington's
birthday, which is usually holiday,
will not be observed as such next
Wednesday,, owing to the fact that the
schools have been closed so long.
