1t cannot be said that the sentence
imposed at Dover on Saturday upon
William F. Hartnett, former sheriff
of Kent county was excessive. The
case against him was proved, as was
shown by the verdict of guilty found
by the jury. 1t is true the jury
recommended the accused to the
mercy of the court, and this request
was certainly needed. A fine of five
hundred dollars and costs, under the
circumstances, was not a heavy
penalty for the offense charged and
sustained. The allegation was that
the former sheriff had simply attemp-
ted to do certain thing, but that
was enough. That the county was
saved from loss is gratifying, but it
is none the less to be taken that the
offense was of a serious character.
Now that the scheme charged against
the former sheriff has been laid bare
it is to be taken that that nothing
of the kind will be attempted again.
There is an easy way to provide
check against excessive charges, and
there should be no excuse in the
future for any similar attempts to
secure payment for what is not law
full. The conviction of the former
sheriff is, however, to serve a good
purpose. 1t will no doubt deter
others who may be tempted. Morn

THE CONCIERGE.
Tyrant Rule of the Autocrat of the

Partisan Flat House.
The concierge" is considered to be
the bane of the Partisan fiat dweller's
existence. His functions are supposed
to be the following:
The first and most important is to
collect the rent on quarter day; after
that he must see that the tenants do
not surreptitiOusly remove. The latter
precautiOn seems to be somewhat I'M
necessary. as rents i'm Paris are always
paid in advance.

at least twice a day, but as the CON
cierge is generally stout. middle aged
woman who has a decided objection to
climbing stairs the latter regulation re-
mains somewhat of a dead letter
In Paris the front door of most
houses is generally closed at 10 O'Clock
After that time admittance can only be
obtained by ringing a bell. The cen
cierge is obliged to open the door, and
she does this. as soon as she is awake
by pulling rope which hangs by her
bedside
If she is a sound sleeper and you are
accustomed to come home late at night.

much as possible.
The concierge does sometimes make
a final effort to extract something more
from you by attempting to make you
pay franc for every nail knocked in
the walls of your fiat, but this has been
decided to be illegal and may be safely
resisted.

The Senate has passed the House
bill which grants the voters OF rural
New Castle County to again pass
upon the question of license" or "no
license" 1t becomes a law when the
GOVERNOR signs the bill and the
question will be brought before the
people of rural New Castle at the
general election in 1911. This is a
reassuring step and now let the good
people get to work and agitate the
question lively from now on. We
cannot endorse the Drexler bill
which allows a vote on the question
every eight years. The law as laid
down in the Constitution is good
enough without any amendments.
The people can decide whenever they
wish vote on the question in the
regular constitutional way and tC
bring the question before the people
every eight years does not serve Of
any better purpose and only makes
expense to the State.

A CREDIT TO THE CITY

The popular house furnishing firm
of J. J. Kaufman Co. is making elab-
crate preparations for their spring
opening, to take place Saturday af-
ternoon, April II, which promises to
be a treat to all lovers of good house
furnishing.
The store will be beautifully deco
rated for the occasion, and there is
a pleasant surprise in store for all
those visiting the store during the
opening.
The store has been remodeled
throughout and greatly enlarged. A
new balcony has been built over the
second floor, and the balcony over
the first floor has been reDuIiC and
enlarged. The old front has been
taken out and a new front put in its
place. The display windows have
been rebuilt with beamed ceiling and
paneled walls, and are stained rich
nut brown, to give the fumed oak fin
ish which is now so popular.
Mr.. Kaufman has recently return
ed from the Grand Rapids, Mich,
furniture exhibit, and the store will
be frightened up by all the new stock
purchased there.

ROWLAND'S BLACK CATS
Open the League Season at Spokane
Saturday--Not Boosting, But
Working.

WALLA WALLA, April IA
Manager Rowland and his Black Cats
plan to leave Walla Walla for Spo-
kane Friday afternoon, and Saturday
will open the season with the Spo-
kane Indians. Rowland is not very
much of a man to talk about the
prospects of his team, SO he is not
making any preseason boasts that
he might possibly have to eat after
wards, but just the same he is drill
ing his men hard, for he intends to
get the pennant.
Rowland has line on man for
Householder's place, but he is not
giving out any information as to
who the man is. His utility man,
Beer, is now filling the place left
vacant by the big outfielder's deser-
ton to the outlaws camp. Rowland
claims his new man is good one,
but that is as far as he will go in dis
cussing him.
Rowland's pitchers are all show
| ing up well, his left-handers, Sewer
and Pernoll, keeping up their repu-
tation. Rowland will probably carry
his six pitchers through the first
month anyhow and will then likely
drop one of them. Just whom the
axe is to fall on is not known now
and Rowland has no idea himself, it
is thought, as he wants to give them
all chance to make good in the try
out in real games against fellow
leaguers.

FATHER FINDS SON
John Hanke Discovers His Lost Boy
Is4yV ans MeI 9 qSno1QL
Five Years.

After a desperate search of more
than five years, John Hanke, resi-
dent of Ritzville, has at last regain
ed possession of his S-year-old son.
The boy had been adopted by the
late Mrs. NJ. c. Whitman, an actress,
who died suddenly in this city few
weeks ago. At the time of Mrs. Will
liams' death she was staying here,
where her daughter was filling an
engagement. in local theater, and
after her demise another daughter
was arrested charged with attempt
ing to steal the boys adoption pa
pers and also deeds to valuable prop
erty owned by Mrs. Whitman in Spo-
kane. At the trial the woman was
released. Afterward legal proceed
ings were begun seeking to have the
actress daughter of the deceased wo-
man appointed administrator of the
estate and guardian for the child.
To lonely man on farm near
Ritzville came the knowledge of the
legal proceeding as of voice from
the grave and John Hanke at once
fastened to this city to claim his
child. In the superior court he told
story of search for lost son, pro.
secuted as relentlessly as his funds
, would allow. He said that when the
boy was born, about eight years ago
his mother was unable to care fol
him and left him with her mother
in Spokane. After three years the
father journeyed to Spokane to gel
his son, only to find that he had beer
adopted by the mother of an actress
The grandmother could give hel
son-inlaw no news of the boy, ant
then began the search which ended
Monday.
After hearing Hanke's story, which
was told in a trembling voice will
the tears coursing down his cheeks
as he held the long-lost boy to hi
breast, Judge Irwin at once set aside
the decree of the Spokane court ant
awarded to Hanke the custody of hi
child. He was overjoyed at the de
cision and left for home, taking thu
boy with him.
