wHATPUNISHMENT TO FIT THIS
 CRIME?

What are we to do with people and cases like that of Creffeld-Mitchell ? h the presence of 8 demonstration of moral degredation, superstition, blind ness to and disregard of present-day conventions that-save for the demon stratiOn-would be unbelievable, what is to be done? What punishment is there to it these abominable crimes .? A monster casts an uncanny spell under which he wrecks the homes of decent men and drags good women to unheard of depths of sin. One of the decent men kills the monster as the only means of stopping his course. A jury of Ameri- cans, swayed by traditions of American manhood, disregsrds the letter of law and acquits him, and the public, by manifestations unmistakable, approve. The mans sister, thereupon, stays him, exactly as he slew her betrayer. Now what is to be done? Ask the same mortified public sentiment that acquit- ted him and it will cry "hang her" But how can the same process that sc- quilted the one hang the other? And besides, she is 8 woman, and there steps in those same traditions of Ameri- can manhood that, being put to the test

 No, it is not likely-in view of all the circumstances-that she will be punish ed as the passions of the moment would dictate and the law require. It will be determined, doubtless, that she is insane. And how else can this un- speakable thing be explained? ? A crude human monster invents Ire Iigon" that to the most common scruples of ordinary decency is revolt ing, and immediately lot of women who had lived correct and proper lives mothers of grown daughters; chaste young women, the daughters of these mothers, join together in forsaking husband and father and home and friends and honor and the respect Of their fellows to steep themselves in i'm morality. How can such things be ex- plained in these days of enlightment save by the world old cry of witchcraft which the modern affects to deSpise, but which survives, nevertheless, in the mystery of hypnotism, and which, in this case, continued it's evil influence after the death of the syell worker. What is to be done in such cases-for death is but tame punishment to meet this crime.

FRANCE DOES JUSTICE
 DREYFUS
TO

France has done the thing that for
 eleven years the world has waited for her to do-the thing that she knew she
 had to do to reiustate herself iu the re- suect of the world. It has been painful
 but she has faced the music and it is now over and done with and all the
 world, in common with her, feels better.
 The war department of France got it.
 self into peck of trouble through care lessness and the Yenality of some of it's members. A paper containing army secrets was intercepted in transmission and diverted into the hands of foreign
 power. General Mercier the war minister had been under criticism, said
 to be unjust. He must vindicate the. department in this or suffer further at the hands of his enemies-purhaps there was opportunity here for ven- gesuce. Vigorous inquiry was made. h this the really guilty lent him aid.
 Certain discriminating hand writing was found to resemble that of Captain Drey- fus-a Jew. It was the very thing toI tbe Dose--thisdiscovery The French
 people hated the jews and to stir their passions against this man was easy and the guilty could find shelterunder it. When the trial was fairly on it was found that there was no case against Dreyius and it became necessary to the traitor Esterhazy and the general staff to make a case. With forgery and per jury they did 50 but before it was all over deep suspicion even in France, and despite the arti-semitic prejudice and passion there, rested upon the ready guilty parties. Ia the eyes of the rest of the world the truth was clearly ap- parent. Dreyfus was sentenced to death-but the outcry of the world was effective in having the sentence com muted to imprisonment for life.
 This was in lS95-January. Never for an hour since has the work in behalf of justice ceased. The "honor' of the French army made it necessary to confirm tte action of the court. the peoples prejudice against the jews leanr itself to this base end, but the dis passionate publiciS,s and real patriots Of France saw that the time would come when this injustice must be undone, when France must publicly acknow- ledge that this great misunderstanding at the very front of civilization-better than 8 displsed officer in her army. was guilty. Chapter by chapter the dark plot was laid bare by their in- sistent efforts, and the change in public feeling was worked. h 1898 court martial took the case under rehesring but the scandal grew so that the gov ernmeut sought to save itself by pard- ouing DreyflS. h accepting the par don the officer said be would parsist in his course until he secured complete vindication. And now this has come to him through the action of the highest court in France. Altogether the case. is in many respects, one of the most
 notable in the history of the world.

WAYS OF PENGulNs.


These Birds Lay Out Homo Sites and
Build Cities.
Penguins mostly spend their lives on
the water. but when. during the breed
ing season, they are obliged to seek
the shore they establish cities. many
acres often being laid out in squares,
composed of what might be called
streets, running ut right angles. The
birds not only lay out their city after
picking up all the loose stones till the
whole place Is US smooth as a board
floor, but they take possession In cou-
pies, each pair selecting n home site,
not to build Il nest, but merely to Sc
cure particular spot on the bare
ground.
The hen lays one egg, and only one,
and during the time Of incubation the
male bird brings her food from the
sea or sits on the egg awhile himself
II she wants to go out and take a
swim. The lady penguins grow so fat
and sleek under the good care Of their
faithful mates that they are eagerly
hunted Mt the breeding season.
The old birds are tough and fishy,
but the tender young matrons IRE in
great demand. both for their oil and
flesh. Even the eggs have IN oily and
fishy flavor and taste as hens eggs
might IL cooked in paraffin. The pen
gum has wings, like other birds, but
they are altogether too short to dy
with, though they assist him some
what in waddling over the ground.

ALPINE ROOT DIGGERs.
Their Work of Danger High Up In
the MOuntains.

Their Work of Danger High Up In
the Mountains.
Throughout the whole chain of the
Alps there are men who make 1t their
business to search for and root up the
gentian, arnica, puffballs and other Al
pine flowers.
High up in the mountains the root
grubber, generally an old man, builds
little hut. He chambers precipices
to the edges, where the blue flowers
grow; or, If he cannot ascend, he lets
himself down to their place of refuge
by a rope fastened to pine above.
He wanders to long distance from
his hut and does not always trouble to
return to 1t ut night, finding shelter un-
der a rock. Next morning he spreads
all the roots he has collected on a rock,
where they may dry.
He collects herbs us well as roots.
and the resin from the pine besides.
When the summer is over and there
are signs Of snow, the root grubber
collects all together in his little hut and
finally transports the whole Of his six
months collection to the valley.
The arnicu and some other roots used
in medicine are readily disposed Of.
From the gentian is made the favorite
gentian brandy, which is considered
the very elixir Of life by the mountain
folk. In other days, when gentians
grew in great numbers, the root digger
was able to realize good income from
his perilous occupation, but 1t is other
wise now.-Chambers' Journal.

THE HUMOROUS kuBus.

Shiest People Alive.

They Live In Sumatra and Are the
shiest People Alive.
There is a very singular race Of peo-
pie in Sumatra, the Kubus, who are too
timorous and shy to mix with the other
races of the island and dwell in the re-
cesses Of the forests. They are looked
on as interiors by the Malays and
thought to be little better than beasts
Such is their shyness that they will
never willingly face stranger.
Their trade with the Malayans is con-
sequently carried on in II strange man.
ner. The trader announces his arrival
by beating gong. and he then retires.
The Kubus approach, put their forest
treasures on the ground, beat gong
and retreat. The trader returns and
lays his commodities down in quaint
ties sufficient, as he thinks, for the pur-
chase of the goods on sale. Then he re-
tires. and the Kubus reappear and con-
slider the bargain.
And SO. after more withdrawals aud
approaches and gong beatings, the re-
spective parties come to an understand
ing and carry off independently their
bargains. The Kubus in their wild
state do not bury their dead. They live
on snakes. grubs, fruits and the flesh
OF any deer or pigs they can STAY. They
are skillful spearmen and throw stones
with marvellous accuracy.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Auchtcrmuchty is the happy town
which every Scot, proud of his unpro-
nounceable tongue. uses as shibbo-
leth to test the linguistic skill Of the
soutllron. If you cannot say "Auchter-
muchty" you are still an uneducated
barbarian. Tie meaning of the word
happens to be as monstrous as its
sound. THE high ground of the wild
sow" is not a name one would choose
for Il garden city. People. however, are
found to flock to it as n summer re-
sort. and as 1t has n l,vcr's pool, the
town has probably attractions more
real than its name. In the early part
of last century Aucltcrmuchty went
bankrupt ana was deprived of all its
property except the jail and one or two
other assets Of an equally necessary
character. 1t is now rich. peaceful and
radical.

Pioneer Settler Dead.

Mr.. Henry Kipp, pioneer who
has been resident of this vicinity
for half century, passed away last
Monday afternoon at the homo of his
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jas. +. Link in North Dyers-
vile. While Mr.. Kipp had been
quite feeble for some time on account
of his advanced age, he was not
seriously ill until few hours prior
to his death.
Henry Kipp was born at Geseke,
Westphalia, Germany on April Is,
1922, where he grew to manhood.
In accordance to the rules of the
German Empire he served in the
army for three years. Returning to
his native home he was married 10
Katherine Schuering in lS49. With
his bride, deceased emigrated to
America the same year and landed
at Baltimore, Maryland, where they
resided one year, after which they
went to Quincy, ILL.,, where they
settled on farm and resided for
seven years. In the spring of 1856
they came to Dyersville and took up
their residence on farm six miles
northwest Of New Vienna where
they resided until March 1886 when
he retired from farming and with
his wife took up residence in West
Dyersville. On Oct. 2, 1895 a shadow
of sorrow was cast over his declining
years by the death of his beloved
wife. The last ten years he has
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. j. F. Link. Seven children
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Kipp.
Four died at Quincy ILL.,, in their in
fancy and Joseph died at State Cen.
er five years ago. The two surviv-
ing children are Aug. H Kipp of
New Vienna and Carrie, Mrs. j. f.
Link Of this city.
By the death of Mr. Kipp this
community loses one Of its oldest
pioneers and a highly respected citi-
zen. Coming to the vicinity in
primative days Mr.. Kipp met with
the many privations. He was how
ever very successful at farming. He
was man of sterling worth, honesty
and uprightness being marked
traits of his character and in his de-
clining days he could look back
over a life of usefulness.
The funeral took place Thursday
morning Requiem services were
held in St. Francis church after
which his earthly remains were laid
to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
The pail bearers were Geo. SCHNEIDER,
