The Proper Thing to Do

Judge Ehrgood CT Lebanon,
made sensible decision last week
A woman had been indicted for
" hexing" an infant child of a
neighbor and causing its death by
witchcraft. The judge very prompt
ly dismissed the case and decreed
that the magistrate who returned
the case should not be allowed
costs. Lebanon is one of the few
counties in the state where the prac-
tice of bundling still prevails.
Bundling and witchcraft are relics
of the dark ages. They are not
necessarily related, but they are
both the legitimate outgrowth of
ignorance and superstition. People
who believe in hexing may not all
indulge in bundling, but bundlers
all believe in hexing.

These We're some of the claims made

been increased year by year, and in
much greater proportion than that of
anything else" he told the members
of the court.
Let us notice how some other val
ues have increased. In 1891 the total
valuation OF notes and accounts was
about $6,0O0,OOO. This year it is only
100000. Do you suppose for an
instant that is proportional in

Glasgow, Nov. 20.-The most ter
ribe fire that has occurred in Great
Britain for many years. broke out here
today in a cheap lodging house for
men in Watson street and resulted in
the loss of SO lives and the severe in
jury of many others.
The flames were first noticed at s
o'clock this morning in the fourth
floor of the building which was occu
pied by 32O men.
An extraordinary scene was created
by procession of almost naked men
rushing out of the entrance to the
building and against their frantic ef-
forts to escape the firemen had actu
ally to fight for admission. Reaching
the upper floors the firemen found
that the narrow passages were becom-
ing congested with men who had
dropped to the floors overcome by
smoke The fire, however, was con-
fined to the fourth floor and as soon
as the firemen were able to get to
work II was speedily extinguished.
The flames had been fed by the wood
en- partitions which threw off volumes
OF smoke resulting in the suffocation
of the inmates. but others had to he
taken to hospitals.
The dead were mostly workmen in
the prime of life. They presented a
horrible sight, their blackened faces
bearing evidence of terrible struggles
to escape
Many of the men were sleeping in
the attic above the burning fourth
floor and these had narrow escapes.
The flames burst through the floor
and 1t was impossible for the men to
descend. The windows were securely
fastened and the men had to break
them so they could climb through to
neighboring roofs. BY 10 o'clock
search of the building was made and
complete list of the victims obtained.

32 injured.
Owing to their migratory habits and
the absence of permanent homes many
of the dead will never be identified.

ever no body was found.
Last evening Sheriff Taylor received
a note from Constable Davis stating
what he had done. and also saying
that the search would be continued to-
day. From the evidence at hand the
constable says he has no doubt but
that an Indian was murdered near
the spot and his dead body thrown
into the river.
However, while the sheriff has given
orders for a search to be made, he
does not take the story entirely at its
face value, and thinks that it may pos
sibly be a hoax, or else something else
than body may have been thrown
into the river.

Too Much

Chicago Nov. 20.-Judge Bethea to-
day rendered n decision against the
interstate commerce commission in
the case against the Chicago & Great
Western and II other roads. The
commission held the roads charge
rates that are too high. The commits
sion charged the railroads with dis
eliminating against small dealers and
in favor OF the packers. The alleged
rates for shipping cattle were too
high.
The court held there was no dis
elimination and declared the roads on
account Of extra trouble of handling
cattle must charge more for livestock
than for packed meat.
