What makes a girls hair SO nice and

The irritating thing about q good rep

What a woma means ty having a

ROBBER HAD UNIQUE PLAN
For Acquiring DR.. Curtis's Purse
But II Failed to Work
Out Right.

On last Saturday night week ago
DIR. Curtis was finishing some work
which kept him quite late. 1t was
after eleven o'clock when he came out
of his office which is i'm the Binder
Block. At the bottom of the stairway
stranger accosted the doctor with
the words, "Wili you pull tooth for
me ?" Certainly" answered the
doctor, and Immediately went back to
his Office up stairs.
The party took a seat in the chair.
The doctor told him the tooth was too
good to take out and insisted on treat
ing it, but nothing would do but TO
take it out. When the tooth was
extracted he handed the doctor ten
dollar bill. The doctor took the bill
and opened his pocket book to get the
change and hand it to the party, when
he grabbed for the doctors money.
In the scuffle the doctor held on to his
money, but the fellow took half of the
ten dollar bill.
In some way the fellow was thrown
to the floor and in the fall struck his
head against the sharp edge OF the
base board, cutting cash. The fellow
left the ten dollar bill and made his
escape.
DIR. Curtis does not know him ano
thinks he does not belong to this city

woEFUL NEGLECT.
EDITOR NEWS HERALD 1t seems
strange 70 me that the city council
should he so derelict i'm its duty as TO
absolutely fail TO take any action in
regard TO the nuisance caused 10y the
sewer from the closets at the city
building emptying into the branch at
the foot of the South High street hill.
Is it because they care nothing about
the health of the residents of the
town? Numerous complaints have
been made to both council and board
of health. But still there is nothing
doing. Everyone who has occasion to
go to that end of town has to stand
the stencil arising from the sewer.
How long do you suppose a private
citizen would be allowed TO annoy the
residents in any neighborhood and
menace their health? Just long
enough for the city authorities to get
hold Of him. Surely when nuisance
which is injurious to the health
of the citizens of community
and lessons the value of property
should be abated just as quickly when
it is caused by the village as when
caused by private citizen. Do you
suppose that it would do any good to
call the attention of the State Board
of Health TO this matter2 j. #.

Drunken Special Policemen.

The only disgraceful occurrences
that have come to our attention i'm
connection with the Fall Exposition
last week were the actions of the
special police officers. The only arrest
made was of James Stout, a special
policeman, who got drunk and had a
fight, requiring the services of all the
regular police officers to land him under
the tower. Morgan Lemon, another
special policeman, also dropped a
loaded 44-caliber revolver on the pub
lib square Thursday evening, causing
II to be discharged and shooting hole
i'm the "Pumkin Palace" and fatali-
ty was only prevented by good luck.
Several of the other special police
were plainly under the influence Of
liquor while on duty. One of them
stopped a citizen and threatened to
arrest him If he did not give him a
drink.
Why did Mayor Nesbit select such
class of men for special policemen I?
Was it because he thought that If
they were sworn in as officers of the
law they would remain sober, or was
it in the hope of getting the Demo
cratic "rif raf" right for the coming
election9 Surely Mayor Nesbit knew
the character of the men he was select
ing to preserve the peace, and surely
his selections to say the least proved
most unwise. Men who are given to
excessive drinking and especially of
bootleg" whisky certainly are hardly
fit persons for policemen.
Why did you do it, Mayor Nesbit?

The optimist succeeds because he
looks on the bright side and pictures

that some excellent work has been

Shall Capital Punishment Be AbOl'
iShed.

It is reported that an organized
effort will be made at the next session
of the Ohio legislature, TO abolish the
death penalty. Life imprisonment
will be substituted for it. AT the
present time the term served in Ohio
by persons sentenced to life imprison-
ment is seven years OF course those
agitatlng the change claim that this
will be corrected. But can 1t be done =?
Attorneys here say that in selecting
jury that many answer that they
are opposed to capital punishment and
that the sentiment seems TO be grow
ing.
If this change is effected it means
that for the taking, of human life, no
matter how brutal the crime nor how
revolving the attending conditions, the
criminal will average serving seven
year term in the penitentiary. Do you
think this an adequate punishment OF
one thatwill cause human life to be re-
spected We do not think 50. We
believe that if this change is made In
the law that murders will become even
more frequent than now and that feal
of imprisonment will not stop de
graded criminals,
Human life is now held TO lightly
and too much sympathy and maudlir
sentiment is extended to criminals
And if this change is made we believe
that it will make conditions worse
We believe that punishment by deatf
is the only penalty fitting for sucl
crimes and that If more frequentl!
enforced would prevent many nun
ders.
More murders are now COMMITTEES
in the United States in proportion Il
population than in any other ciyilize'
country and the criminals less oftel
suffers the death penalty. With sue
conditions facing us does it not loo
idiotic TO lessen the penalty2
