The dredger which has been at work
in the river just below this city will
probably complete it's work within a
few days and then proceed to South
Gardiner where it will continue until
the river freezes over. The channel here
has been deepened from six inches to
six feet and the digging has been very ~
easy, almost entirely gravel. Some of
this has been taken down the river and
dumped to fill bad places along the
shore and the remainder has been de-
posted on the shore opposite the
freight yard This deposit is found to-
be of an exceptionally fine quality and
will probably be used either in ballast
ing or in laying another spur track in
the ward, which is badly needed on &C.
count of the increase of business.

Darlington Man Robbed.

In Chicago last Friday two confidence
men postponed Gottfried Pucks' trip
to California by Selling his money, CON
sisting of $3.50 in bills. Pucks is a
cheesemaker Of Darlington, Wis. He
was walking in West Madison street
toward the union station when a con-
genial stranger slapped him on the
back and invited him to a saloon. After
leaving the place the good-natured
countryman and his companion walked
toward the station, when stranger,
believed to be companion of the con
fidence man, approached them and be-
tween sobs told them he had been
robbed Of his life's savings, ST.. He
appeared to be inconsolable.
After relating tale of misfortune
and woe, the second stranger asked the
unsuspecting countryman how much
money he had.
Pucks drew out large roll of bills
and held it in his hand for their inspee-
ton. The fearful man seized it, and
before the victim recovered from his
surprise he and his companion were gone.

Throat Cutting Fraca. at Linden.

/ Sometime the latter part of last Sat
urday our neighboring village of Under
was the scene of a throat cutting fra.
cas-. If we are informed rightly, il
started in shoe shop where one John
Treloar paid his taxes to the village
treasurer, Frank Fault.
The sum paid was one cent over the
amount required, whereupon Treloar
made a remark to the effect that it was
better to overpay than not at all. This
brought from Fault insinuations that
he (Treloar) didn't practice what he
preached or he would pay that $40 he
owed him. One word brought another
until Fault in fit of anger grabbed a
hammer to throw at Treloar, whereat
the latter passed out Of the store.
Fault, though cripple, followed Ire.
loar with knife in hand to the sidewalk
and there succeeded in slashing Ire
loar's throat from point below one of
the ears around well to the front. 1t
proved an ugly cash, one requiring a
dozen or more stitches to close up.
Luckily the jugular vein was not opened
and the victim is in fair condition, all
things considered.
Fault was arrested and placed under a
$500 bond for preliminary hearing, the
result of which has not been learned.

CLIMBING UP THE LADDER.

HE school of practical experience and hard
- knocks has scored again. A former section la
borer has become president of the New York
Central Railroad Company and another section
aborer has been made an assistant supervisor of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. For some
time the Pennsylvania Company has given prefer
to the graduates OF the technical schools, and
will probably continue to do so, but the company
does not intend to bar the experienced and care
full man from promotion simply because he has
not had the advantage OF technical school edu-
cation.
A recent announcement by the company shows
the standard employed in judging men:
Realizing that many employees who
have not had the advantage of college
education apply themselves so diligently
TO their work that they acquire prof.
cheney which should be recognized, the
management has been carefully observing
the work of all grades of men in the ser
vice. with view to promoting those
who showed exceptional ability, no mat
ter what their start with the company
had been.
This means that the company intends TO reward
merit Technical education is undoubtedly OF
great service but after all the merits of the man
must be considered and there arc no fixed limits
as to how an education may be obtained.
All the educated men, whatever their yocations
may be- did not obtain their education fitness
from the schools Practical experience is a splen-
did education. Practical experience with school
work is the best sort of education. But in the
end it rests chiefly with the man himself.

Editorial
Opinion
As 10 Representative soper.

As to Representative Soper.
Dover Delawarean.
Some critics have been rather free in
their abuse and dcnunciation OF Repre-
sentative Francis NJ Soper for his re-
fusal Immediately TO acquiesce in the ac-
ton OF the Democratic caucus Monday
evening and 10 aid by his vote last Tueg-
day in the organization of the House.
A number OF these critics hail from
Republican counties and districts, and
some Of thom contributed little or moth
ing beyond their own votes to bring
about Democratic success oven if the en-
tire Democratic ticket had SO much as
their votes al tho recent election.
II may not bc amlss TO remark that II
when the efrectlve lighting OF Republicans
was more necessary than the denuncla-
tion OF Democrats to make possible a
Democratic organization Of the House
Francis M. Soper and his friends had done
no more than some critics TO bring about
Democratic success there would have
been no Democratic organization on Tues
day. nor on Wednesday nor at any time
during the session. for Republican ma
iority in the House would doubtless have
saved the Democrats all such trouble.
Mr.. Soper was elected last November
In a Representative district before that
time always quite close and usually Re
publican. Mr. soper's plurality was g. and
the district gave a good plurality for the
entire Democratic ticket Mr.. Sopor him
self put great fight. and tho splon-
did result in his district was due in large
part to him.
HIS friends have felt that he was en-
titled 10 consideration. and we think the
Democrats who were especially active IN
bringing about the result last Nosember
In Kent county were not guilty Of un-
pardonable presumption I'm thinking that
this county had especial claims TO con-
sideration in the organization OF the
House.
Many OF the Democrats who advocated
Mr.. Soper FOR Speaker were aot seeking
simply personal recognition and reward
for him, but were and are deeply interest.
ed in certain important questions Of nub.
lie policy. They were in accord with Mr.
Soper's views and thought It OF no small
consequence that the Democratic party
should be saved from the mistake OF 4
wrong or apparently wrong position or
any one OF the several really iniportari
matters in which the people OF the State
are now deeply concerned.
Mr. Sopers course in Withdrawing from
the caucus and in slightly delaying III,
organization OF the House was not tn,
vengeful act OF a disgruntled politician
mad and willing TO divide or demorauzl
the party because some particular offc'
did not come his way. Far otherwise. H'
left the caucus az the urgent solicitation
OF some strong friends and supporters
Some OF them are active Democrats whit
helped carry Kent county for the Demo
cratic party, and make possible Demo
cratic House. Many personal aud part
friends subsequently urged him 20 pre-
