News and the Newspapcrman.

News and the Newspapcrman.
Announcement has been made
that orders have been issued from
the general offices OF the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad in Baltimore that
local officials are to give all news
coming from railroad circles to the
newspapers. This includes details
OF wrecks. accidents and the general
routine workings Of the system. The
order provides that officials shall
give to the newspapers all the In
formation on hand about things OF
interest to the general public which
reverses a rule that has been strict
" adhered to by this and other rail-
roads for several years. In case Of
uncertainty the general press agent
OF the railroad Is to be communicated
with.
It is said that the order was
prompted by the recent wreck OF the
Pennsylvania Special near Johns
town. Pa, week or SO ago when
reporters were barred from relief
trains and denied information about
the disaster. AS a result greatly
exaggerated reports OF the wreck
were printed in all OF the newspapers
of the country that handle tele-
graphic service which undoubtedly
had an Injurious effect upon the pas
senger traffic OF the Pennsylvania
Special and fast trains like It.
The order is most sensible one
and 1t is queer that one like. 1t was
not issued long time ago. A
newspaper is bound to publish the
news and no effort at concealing the
details of any big news happening.
or one that is of interest to the pub
lie. will prevent something about It
from being published. If 1t is news
of interest to the public 1t is Just as
sure to come out as water is to seek
Its level. And far better 1t is to
have the facts given than the pub
location Of the news as 1t can only
he obtained by rumors. The truth
is mightier and more productive OF
good than any fabric OF falsehood,
rumor. Imagination or speculation
that can be woven together and in
most instances the latter results only
in harm.
There is not newspaper in the
country that does not want to pub
lish the news as truthfully aud as
accurately as 1t can. That is what
the newspapers are In business for.
Millions upon millions of dollars are
spent every year by the makers or
newspapers to do this. II the facts
of the PENNSYLVANIA Special wreck
had been given to the newspapers
they would have been published as
given and not the exaggerated re-
ports that one hundred had. been
killed and many more injured ms
rumored by unofficial reports which
were all that the newspaper men
could obtain at the time.
This applies to others than rail
roads. too. The person who does
something or figures in some oc-
currence or event that is in the ma
ture of news item and reads an ac-
count of it which is not exactly cor
rect in the newspapers to which he
has denied information, is alone
to blame for getting himself so
placed before the public eye and not
the newspapers which he censures,
Experience and facts show that it
is the best thing to take the newspa-
pers into confidence and they also
show that the newspapers respect
that confidence in their efforts to
publish the news correctly.

Down wien pespots.

1t Is not enough that Congress
should protest against the ''pervert-
ed use of government functions OF
which the Russian people are the
Victims II the arraignment contain
ed in memorial to Congress is true.
All civilized nations should not only
join in The protest but also enter a
compact TO bring to strict account
that government for tortures in
!licted, even If the end be the COM
plete overthrow Of the present des-
potic government of that great coun-
try. No man processing civilization
and having the milk OF human kind
ness in his heart can read these
charges and believe them without
being possessed OF desire to wipe
from the face Of the earth the
ferocious despots that rule Russia.
Little wonder is 1t there is constant
revolt in Russia. Not at all strange
is 1t that there occur almost daily
transformations and attempts at
assassination.
The protest recites list of atroc-
tiles asserted to be practiced by the
Russian government in its pro
onged warfare against its own peo-
pie"
The arraignment Of the Russian
is as follows:
First-Thousands of men and
women are dragged from their homes
solely at the discretion or pleasure
of local military or police authori-
ties, placed In remote settlements
of semi-sayages close to and within
the Polar circle, where the most
loathsome Diseases are chronically
epidemic.
Second Hospitals. are Deliberate
ly fired upon by the regular troops
without rebuke.
Third The Red Cross is not re-
spected and the wounded are fire.
quently slaughtered or thrown into
the sea or buried alive with the dead.
Fourth-Women. children. aged
and decrepit men are manned and
killed by sword slashings, torn by
bayonets and trampled under hoofs
of horses.
Fifth-Girls and young women.
inhabitants of districts under mill
tary protection, are repeatedly given
over to violation by officers ms we'll
as ordinary soldiers.
Sixth Tortures are applied to
prisoners within fortresses and
prisons to elicit information.
Other charges are also made.
There should be concerted action
among all civilized nations to stop
at the very earliest possible moment
these barbarities in Russia. Even
the terrible Siberia should not have
been suffered to exist all these
years.
Will Christian nations act? VIII
the pulpits OF every land agitate
this question until every civilized
people on the globe will rise up
against It and blot 1t out forever?

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
la Grippe Is Epidemic catarrh.

THE disease now known ~ grip
i used to be called Influenza,
livery closely resembles q cold, hut is
more tenacious in Its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic c.tarrh.
When it once begins 1t spreads over the
country verS rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches It from the
atmosphere.
Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe"
Roht. l.. Madison, A. NJ, Principal Of
Cullowhee High School, Painter, n. C.,
is chairman of the jackson County
Board OF Education.
He is writer Of occasional verse and
has contributed 70 number Of leading
papers and magazines, -religious, edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking Of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
al am hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. ltisthe most effective medi.
cine that have ever tried for Ii grippe.
ait also cured my wife Of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition ut one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
sin consequence, an infiamed condi.
ton Of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
70 no remedy until Peruna was tried. y
Healthy mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough TO
have perfectly healthy mucous men,
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, il there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing TO do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.
Systemic catarrh. the Result of La
Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie w. Gilmore, Box "A,
White Oak, Ind. Ter, formerly House.
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys, writes:
"six years ago 1 had la grippe, which
was followed by systemic catarrh.
"The only thing used was Peruna
and Manalin, and have been in better
health the last three years than for
years before.
81 give Peruna all the credit for my
gt'od health"

Arizona and Reform

From the Denver Republican. For the first time in thirty years there is no open gambling in Arizona.-Press Dispatch.
 There's somethin' sorter missin' in
 our winelike atmosphere; The breeze is jest as coolin' and
 the sun shines jest as clear, But when the boys jog downward
 they're sorter lonesomelike, Sence the ball has quit & rollin' and
 the gamblers had to hike. They drive up. sorter listless, and
 they jest say. "Howdy, pard?" And the ponies heads is droopin',
 like. they, too, took it hard. And it seems all hushed, like that
 day we planted Mesa Ike, Sence the ball has quit a-rollin and
 the gamblers had to hike. 1 amt a-sayln', pardner, that It
 ain't all fer the best,
 Though some of us ain't natural
 without cards close to the vest, But for life this town ain't in it
 with the graveyard up the pike, Sence the ball has quit a-rollin and
 the gamblers had to hike. We're a-leaTnin' simple pastimer,
 Old Maid and House Crokay. And the cowboys of the Bar-C are
 a-learning to croshay;
 And we toddle to our blankets when
 we hear the curfew strike, Sence the ball has quit a-rollin' and

WENTE-LINDSTROM

One of the most fashionable weddings that has taken place in this city was that of MT. Robert Campbell Wente and Miss Leona Christine Lindstrom. which was solemnized at the home of the brides parents at o'clock on last Wednesday evening.
 The we'll appointed residence of MT. and Mrs. August Lindstrom was prettily and simply decorated for the occasion and was thronged with the friends and relatives of the contracting parties who had been invited to witness the pleasing event.
 In the parlor. in which the ceremony took place, bower had been improvised with flowers and palms, and here the impressive ring service of the NJ. E. church was performed by Rev. Roberts.
 The bride was gowned in pretty silk crepe de chine, and her veil of flimsy tulle was caught by snowy blossoms, symbolical of the purity and innocence of her character. The groom was attired in the con ventional black.
 Immediately after the ceremony a reception followed and for several hours the rooms presented a brilliant scene of festivity and unalloyed happiness, and to add to the charm of the evening, the K. of P. band rendered several beautiful and entrancing selections.
 During the evening delicious refreshments were served. Later the guests were ushered into the beautifully and artistically decor ated dining room. where an in teresting feature of the occasion took place-the cutting of the wedding cake.
 The bride and groom were the recipients of many very handsome and valua ble presents of china, cut glass and silver.
 The fair young bride, on whom has heen bestowed not only wealth of beauty, but prepossessing manners besides, has a host of warm friends in this city, and is admired by all with whom she is acquainted.
 The groom is a young business man of Williams, is connected with the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Go is a member of the select social circle here. and is favorite among legion of friends.
 The happy couple departed on Thursday for picturesque California and quaint old Mexico, where they will spend three weeks honey moon, and will be at home to their friends after that time.
 The NEWS joins a large circle of loving friends in wishing Mir. and Mrs. Wents long, happy and prosperous life.

Last Monday Dr. Bonneville received by express large cake of genuine maple sugar from w. W. Thompson, of Cloudersport, Penn. Some time ago Dr. Rounseville sent Mir. Thompson some fine specimens of ore he obtained from Peach Springs. and the sugar was sent as a reciprocation in kind. The doctor very generously gave us a large chunk of the sugar, and he claims that soon after eating 1t we showed symptoms of home- sickness. It was the most delicious we ever ate and certainly reminded us of the days of yore" back in dear old New England when mother would sweeten our coffee with maple sugar, and "saturate" our hot cakes with maple syrup.

FLEW THE COOP

During the wee hours of last Monday morning, a train crew that were asleep in a caboose standing on side track in the local yard, was suddenly awakened by some one striking matches, and looking in the direction of the light made ny the matches they beheld man, who was a stranger to them, look ing around the car as if in search of something. Becoming angry be- cause the fellow had disturbed their peaceful slumbers, one of the crew. after asking him what he wanted and receiving reply that he was looking for a place to sleep, ordered the man to get out. which he did, without word of protest.
 After the railroaders had much needed nights rest they reported the matter to Detective Patterson, of the Santa Fe. giving the off cer a full description of the man.
 The detective immediately in stituted a search for the culprit and was rewarded by finding him in one of the liquid emporiums down the line, and after incarcerat- ing him in the city. dungeon searched his pockets, in which were found several letters addressed to T. D. Hiteshoe, a brakeman's badge and a caboose door key.
 Returning to the depot MT. Pat terson wired Santa Fe headquarters for instructions in regard to the disposition of the prisoner. and was directed to turn him over to tbe district attorney, who drew up a complaint. charging the fellow with burglary.
 Hiteshoe was taken by Deputy Sheriff McDougall before Judge Langin. on Tuesday afternoon, and given a preliminary hearing. The judge, after hearing the evidence against the prisoner. bound him over to the grand jury under $2OO bond.
 Not possessing the necessary amount of spondulicks with which to gain his freedom, Hiteshoe was obliged to accompany Deputy Sheriff McDougall to the town jail where he was confined to await the arrival of No. 2, upon which train he was going to be transferred to Flagstaff. But short time before the expected arrival of the train the deputy sheriff went to the jail to get the prisoner to take him to the depot, and to his surprise found the man had forced open the door of the steel cage and the door lead ing to the street and had made a clean getaway and was ''as free as the birds of the air"
 No one knows where the fellow secured the instrument which he used in his break for liberty. hut ii is presumed he used a heavy stove poker that was probably lying on the floor near the stove.
 Hiteshoe claimed to be an ex railroad man, stating he had worked for the Santa Fe, and that the key he used in gaining entrance to the caboose had been given him while in the employ of the railroad company. He is a husky man. weighs 1SO pounds, is about six in height and about 27 years of age.
 A full description of him has been telegraphed to the stations along the Santa Fe, but up to the time we go to press no clew that would lead to his apprehension has been found.
