which leading brewers and disdllers
of the country are making to drive
the law breakers out of the business,
recognizing it as true that "it is bust
ness suicide TO permit attractions OF
the law" One would think that these
refcrmers would have their troubles
only with the short-sighted or un-
scrupulous men in their own ranks,
but it seems that they meet with OPP
position from men who above all
others should aid them in their efforts
the city authorities. To such an ex-
tent has this been true, that the Ohio
brewers and wholesalers have a law
enforcing squad of their own which
they set to work in community
where the authorities are in league
with the iawbreakers, to rid it of the
latter. Ohio is not the only state
where such condition prevails.
There are some cities in Illinois
which will answer to the same de-
scription; and it is easy enough to
see through the trick. A graft-leyy-
ing police department thriyes upon
iaw.breaking saloons as buzzards
thrive on carrion; and they do not
want the dive to be put out Of bust
ness--caring nothing for the de-
meralization it brings TO the saloon
business or to the community, so long
as they get their "rake-off. > There's
an end to this sort of thing nearly
always. 1t came to many in Ohio aud
elsewhere: it will come to others. i

the guilty, and that the chief Offend

FEUO|STS IN

TWO MEN KILLED, TWO PER

OTHERS WOUNDED.
TRAGEDY IN MISSISSIPPI
Trouble Grew Out of Political Ami.
mostly Between Leaders OF
Factions-MiIitia Called
TO Prevent Riots.

Meadyille Miss, June 1.-two
men are dead, two are perhaps fatally
wounded, three others are slightly in
jured due to street battle here this
afternoon, waged by parties TO a feud
that had been previously marked
with tragedy.
As a result of the affair feeling
runs high and the state troops were
rushed TO Meadville from Brook
Haven tonight to guard against the
possibility of rioting.
Those killed are Dr. A. NJ New
man and the clerk of the chancery
court of Franklin county. Silas @.
Reynolds Dir. Lenox Newman, son of
ono of the slain men. is believed to
have been fatally wounded, and Her
bert Applewhite, an az oAney, may
not recover as a result of his wounds
Emmett Newman, brother of Lenox
was shot in the leg, Two men named
Poyd and Parr who are alleged to
have been involved in the affaiiri
were slightly wounded but escaped.
T.. p. Prtchard. brother of Cornelius
Pritchard, whom DIR Newman killed
seven weeks ago, was arrested,
with completely in the
tragedy.
The killing of ortchard by Newman
was the first bloodshed to mark the
feud that had existed between the
two men. aud their relatives and
friends for months. This factionalism
had its inception in a politi campaign
n which Newman and Pritchard were
the opposing candidates. Newman
was tried few weeks ago for Fritch.
ards murder and acquitted. This
served to arouse more bitter feeling
and ended in ioday's tragedy.

II certainly is clever trick when
man can step up to the rack of one
OF those circus 'spielers.' pay a
nickle for throw and put a ring
over the head of the very cane he
crayed. surrounded as n was by
canes of all sizes and shapes. In like
manner 1t was a clever trick on the
part of the Cairo police department
to pick their way gingerly through
the scores of big crap games and
poker games and designation joints
and honk-a-tonks in the city last Sat
urday night, and put their clutches
upon quiet little party who were
amusing themselves in little frame
building mt the extreme lower end Of
Commercial avenue. Under all the
circumstances, one may well wonder
what Bendig G. Rilying did, or refused
to do, that SO aroused the ire of the
officers of the law. Perhaps hereafter
they'd better put the fright man in
charge of their game if they wish TO
do business"

The late Russell Sage was known to
refuse to transact business with any
man who was preceded into his Office
by a buzzing fly. One day broker
who had done business with Mr. Sage
for number of years was dumbfound-
ed to be told in the curtest manner
possible that they could transact no
business that day. and not until a
week later did he learn the reason for
this unusual conduct After that the
broker took good care TO see that no
