Horse stealing has been frequently
reported by rauchmen Of Johnson, Dia
Horn and Fremont counties, and the
iepIedations generally have been
traced TO one gang. of which II is al

All Efforts to arrest members Of
his gang have failed because Of the
thieves thorough knowledge Of the
sountry and their Trick Of jumping
from one county to another. and coca

Several DAYS ago the officers picked
up the trail Of the thieves east Of this
place. followed II to Thermopoiis and
thence westward into the rough coun.

objections which may be raised to the
service rendered In a spirit of fair
ness and Justice to the community up
on the necessities and favor Of which
It depends for its revenues
There are certain lines of public
work which probably cannot very well
be turned over to private corporations
the construction and maintenance of
streets and highways, Of bridges and
viaducts and the construction and
maintenance of sewers and drainage
because these things would he very
difficult Of management by a private
company by reason of certain ques-
lions which are bound to arise from
time to time with reference to each
for example, property assessment for
benefits, adjustments Of damages and
other questions of a legal nature which
could not very well be assigned to prl-
vate parties for disposition.
No such questions. however, can be
raised with reference to works Of pub
lie water supply, gas works, electric
light works. street railways, works for
the collection and disposal of garbage
and perhaps some other enterprises
where the duties and obligations Of
the private company can clearly be de-
fined by contract.
There are probably few men who
would not prefer to serve a private
corporation at lower salary or wage
by reason of the advantages previously
mentioned. 1t would be almost an un-
heard of proposition to assume that
any company would choose its engi-
neer, its superintendent or manager by
reason of his political affiliations or for
any other reason than his peculiar fit
ness for the work to which he is to be
assigned
Can it be doubted that much of the
trouble, pickering and delay which have
already been experienced In conduct
ing the work of digging the Panama
canal can be ascribed TO anything else
than the fact that the work is being
conducted by the federal government
Or can it be doubted that II this en-
terprise were turned over to a COM
pany of experienced business men 1t
would be built better and more quickly
and economically than by the en-
ployees of the United States govern
ment? ~.

SOUTH MARIoN'S TROUBLE.
Unusual Situation In an Indiana City
Over Liqht Assessments.

Unusual Situation In an Indiana City
Over Light Assessments.
South Marion taxpayers say they
will not pay any light assessment, and
the city Is confronted with an unusual
situation The cost OF operating the
plant is heavy, and the money now
secured for the purpose is barely
enough to pay the expenses. A num-
Der of South Marion business men say
it Is useless for the council even to as
sess them for lights next year, as they
do not propose to pay and cannot be
made to do so as long as the service is
not satisfactory.
Even in other parts Of the city where
the lights are supposed to burn all
night property owners have declared
that they would under no condition
pay their assessment, and the indica-
tions are that the city will have o hard
time to collect II.
Attorneys have been consulted with
the view Of taking legal action to test
the question, and the city may become
engaged in long drawn out con-
troversy II the light assessment is add
ed TO the tax dupilcates.-M Marion Qnd)
