the first Of a series of three
games Monday afternoon and
after the smoke had cleared away
the long end of the score cross

tribe from Ray county. The day
was ideal for base ball and a

him hard and freely at times.

was made. Miller, the Rich

enraged at one Of Umpire

field. After an unsuccessful at

A Worthy Lady Honored.

eighty-secOnd anniversary of her
birth on Wednesday, April II,
by the many friends both near
and far, who by way of remem-
berence set birthday post cards
bearing loving greetings and

and worthy lady. More than
two hundred such reminders were
received, not alone from Lafay-
cite, her home county, but from
fifteen Others in this state and
friends in six other states by
these missives showed they still
held their friend of other days
in fond remembrance. In adj
ditiOn to these silent messages
of love numbers of friends and
acquaintance called to express
in person their loving regard and
wishes for 'happy returns Of

Mrs. Gordon was the recipient Of
many beautiful flowers, of

venerable grandmother as she
looked upon the three generations
gathered about her.

1t Is doubtful whether ever before was a
case brought to court which involves such
obstacles in the way of a speedy and
satisfactory determination Of the guilt or
innocence Of the accused. A change OF
venue would hardly answer in this in

Of the Mcnamara brothers has spread
throughout the state of California, and
indeed has extended all over the country.
There is. Of course. no way out of the
judicial difficulty thus presented but to
proceed along the old lines and obtain
jury by the slow and usually unsatisfac-
tory process Of elimination until men are
found willing to sacrifice their personal

period and not sufficiently alert to the
questions Of the day to have formed an

Hunters Who Shoot Hunters.

It is unfortunate that SO many deer
hunters cannot distinguish. between a
man and a deer. At this season a
newspaper seems incomplete without a
paragraph from the Adirondacks or other
hunting grounds that a gunner has made
that mistake In identity which usually
results fatally to q guide or another
hunter. To men who are not sportsmen
there does not appear to be any striking
resemblance between man and deer,
though many men who carry guns become
confused by the likeness.
A statistician could compile each year
long roll of names Of men slain or
MANNED because they were mistaken for
deer. 1t might be surmised that the ma
jority Of these unhappy errors are due
not in whole to mans likeness to deer,
but to some heedlessness, haste or
chance-taking on the part Of the hunter
There are obvious differences between
men and deer which gentlemen with suf-
ficient business capacity to afford a hunt
ing trip in the Adirondacks ought to be
capable Of apprehending The deer in
its widest haunts is rather a gentle
seeming beast. usually intent on its own
business and not bent on blood-letting.
1t ought to be easy to distinguish a deer
from a man even In the dim light of the
north woods. IL q hunter would look be-

elaboration deer might escape, but in

An Unreasoning Impulse.

You find yourself jes' bein' glad upon an
autumn day.
There amt no special reason for your
feelin' hathaway,
Fur the old world hasn't shown you
special tenderness or care;
It's brought the usual troubles an it's
passed you out your share.
When you figger on the problems that
they're putin up so fast
You feel you should be conscious Of a
future overcast
With sorrows clouds that may bring
forth the storms that all must fear
But overhead the tranquil sky is shinin
blue an clear.
The leaves go dancin' at your feet Their
duty now is past,
An they're rompin' jes' a little ere they
go to sleep at last;
The sunbeams CLINT across the waves
where breezes swiftly roam
Like little children playin' when from
school they're goin' home.
There's a singin' in the branches an a
rustic in the grass
Where the banners still are wavin' at the
seasons as they pass.
I know lot that ought to make me
serious an sad,
But faint no use O. tryin'. I jes' can't
help bein' glad.

Chicago's Anniversary.
From the New York Times.

From the New York IlIneS.
Chicago yesterday celebrated the for
tieth anniversary Of the great fire of
1871 which destroyed a third Of the city,
the best part of 1t. killed 800 human be-
ings, and caused money loss Of $500,
COO GOO, according to the Chicago esti-
mate. 1t has long been recognized that,
apart from the loss of human life, the
fire was boon to Chicago. The re-
awakening of the energy of the citizens,
the quick and, at least, comparatively
safe rebuilding of the city, and it's rapid
growth thereafter were counted among
nineteenth century marvels. But the
blessing was well disguised, and the
calamity shocked the whole world. 1t
seemed at the time the greatest of its
kind. There had been great fires earlier
in the century, such as New York's in
1885, Hamburg's in 1872. the almost COM
plete destruction of st. Johns, Newfound-
land. in 1S4S the firecracker conflagra-
ton which destroyed nearly all the bust
ness part Of Portland. Me-. July 4, 1865.
and two in ConstantinOple which caused
an enormous loss Of life and property.
But there was no calamity in the earlier
records of the century which seemed in
1871 to compare with Chicago's fire in its
setback to trade and commerce and the
affection it brought upon many thousands
Of men and women. Chicago bravely
faced the situation and turned defeat into
victory.

The Naval Shortage"

The discovery that shop material worth
approximately 100000 is missing
from the Washington naval gun foundry
does not raise the question of integrity
IN the naval administration. There is
every reason to believe that 1t is simply
a case of bad bookkeeping. extending
over a period of years, even back to and
perhaps beyond the Spanish war. Evil
IDENTIFY materials, were withdrawn from
one place for use in another without be-
ing credited to the former, and so re-
manned a charge against the yards stock
to this day. Secretary Meyer has lately
been endeavoring to systematic the adj
ministration of the naval establishment,
and the disclosure of the so-called short
age is one of the results. 1t is a matter
for congratulation that so high stand
ard of integrity obtains in the navy that
It lis possible without strain of credulity
to accredit such seeming deficiency of
supplies to mere lapse Of account keep
ing.
- The American record is exceptionally
free from blemish in this respect. Vast
sums of money have been expended in
the course of years in the development
and maintenance of the navy, and prac-
tically without fraud or graft Contract
ors have perhaps at times imposed de-
ficient materials upon the government.
through the inattention or inexperience
of inspectors, but the public has never
believed these transactions to have been
the consequence of official turpitude.
There is, in short, almost implicit conf
dence on the part of the country at large
in the officers and administrators of the
navy. and the statement that has been
made in this present instance is regarded
as quite satisfactory. 1t would be a most
serious shock to the people il any other
cause were found. And there is corte
spending confidence that the fault will
be corrected SO that in the future there
need be no question of the proper keeping
of books in the navy yard.
During the Russo-Japanese war the
American people had occasion to con-
graduate themselves upon the higher
standard of official integrity prevailing
here than in the country of the car,
whose navy was shown ito have been
honeycombed with corruption for years
preceding the outbreak of hostilities. I'M
mense quantities of supplies borne on the
books as available for use were found to
exist only on paper, fortunes having been
diverted from their purchase into the
pockets of naval administrators and their
corrupt associates. the contractors. The
graft had gone so far there that even
the ships themselves were mere shams.
Armor plates were fastened to the sides
of vessels by only a fraction of the re-
quired number of rivets and bolts, the
missing ones being represented by false
heads cemented on the outside. Through
out the navy ran this strain of corrup-
fion, and the result was that when the
cars ships went into action they were
comparatively easy victims of the better
manned, better equipped and better built
Japanese navy. whose victory was as
much a triumph of official honesty as Of
patriotism, skill and courage.

Stop the Gun Sales!

1t is understood that the man who shot
his wife and himself in this city yester-
day obtained his pistol from a local
pawn shop few days ago, evidently in
tending to use it murderously. There is
another illustration of the extreme danger
ia which this community is exposed by
the lack of a proper law regulating the
sale of weapons. The Star repeats its
often-stated proposition to correct this
evil: Make it felony for any dealer to
sell deadly weapon to any person
whatsoever without the presentation of
a duty certified license to buy the
same. issued by legally established
authority. such as a judge of court,
the chief of police or some other Of
ficial of high responsibility. Pistol laws
that aim at the individual weapon car
rier are practically futile. for they can
operate only after possession is obtained
and the man becomes a potential slayer.
y legal obstacle interposed between the
would-be buyer and the supply shuts on
the source TO all who cannot demonstrate
Il legitimate need such as warrants them
in obtaining, keeping or carrying a
weapon The jealous husband, as in this
latest case. would have difficulty in get
ling a permit to buy If the law were
properly enforced. He might, of course,
go into another jurisdiction with a less
rigid regulation of this traffic and obtain
the wherewithal. of killing, but the
chances OF this are remote. The average
gun that takes life is bought in a passion
under the impulse of some strong stress
of feeling or the influence OF drink II
the stocks of deadly weapons were re-
moved from shop windows and the sug-
gestion they SO pointedly convey destroy
ed there would be much less work for
the coroner and the courts.
