Jury Took the Case Last Night at 1880
O'clock and After Fourteen Hours

| Goshen, n. Y, Nov 26.After fourteen
hours deIiberation, the jury in the case
of Burton w. Gibson, charged with the
murder of his client, Mrs. Rose Szabo
reported to-day that they could not
agree and were discharged The case
was given to the jury at 1870 last night
by Supreme Court Justice Thompkins.
One of Gibson's attorneys announced
soon after the jury were discharged thar
the district attorney had offered not to
place Gibson on trial again on the charge
of murder if he would plead guilty 70
one Of the several charges against him
in New York county, involving the hand
ling of finances.
Judge Tompkins, in charging the jury,
referred to contradictory explanations
given by Gibson of Mrs. Szabo's where.

and false statements were made by tie

statements indicate as TO the guilt or
innocence of the defendant in connection
with the death of Rosa Szabof
IF her death had been an accident,
would he have told these stories,s or
would he have told frankly just how the

consider also why the bogus Mrs. Petro- |

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Late advices from the post otfic e
department informs us that all
papers sent to subscribers who are
more than one year in arrears muse
be paid for at the rate of one cent
for each four ounces or fraction
thereof, by stamps affixed. 10 look
ing over our subscription list we find
that we have a few subscribers who
are more than one year 10 arrears.
The date of the expiration of the
subscription Of each paper appears
plainly either on the paper itself or
on the wrapper every tweek, so that
there can be 20 question in the mind
of the subscriber as to the date OF
the expiration.
We are perfectly we'll aware that
80 out of every 100 who are in arrears
for this paper are honest in their
intentions and that they will pay the
amount they owe in time; that it is
more a matter of carelessness than
anything else-in fact we consider
our subscription list worth practically
100 cents on the dollar, because our
subscribers are all good people. But
it so peppers that we are not a free
agert in the matter; Uncle Sam steps
in and takes hand, saying that while
we are a: liberty to send delinquent
subscriber our paper as long as we
like, we can only do so bv affixing to
each paper the necessary amount of
postage.
While we would like to accommo
date all, it will be absolutely neces-
sary under the circumstances to dis
continue sending the paper to those
who are more than year in arrears,
so we hereby inform all such that
unless ap immediate settlement is
made we shall drop their names from
the list There is DO alternative
for us, so do not delay fixing up your
subscription account at once if you

INTEREST in state political
i circles has this week centered
in the call for meeting of the
"progressives" Under the Oaks
at Jackson" which has been made
for tomorrow, Saturday the Doth.
That this gathering will be any.
thing but harmonious is evidenc-
ed by the great diversity Of
opinion existing among those
who are responsible for its call.
There are no doubt many
among those interested in the
meeting called for tomorrow who
are actuated by unselfish motives
who really believe that the
Chicago convention was unfairly
conducted, and who are acting
in what they suppose to be the
best interests of the republican
party in advancing the cause of
a third nominee. They see no
reason why the battle cannot be
fought out in the ranks OF the
republican party. They will
attend the convention tomorrow
more for the purpose of downing
the third party move than with
any intent to split the state
party.
But how about the men who
cry loudly for third party?
Who are tho y and what is their
purpose? CHANGING over the
list of those who would disrupt
the republican party, and we find
many disappointed Office seekers,
some seeking re election TO office
and many disgruntled because Of
their failure to secure anything
under republican administra-
ton. The idea of comparing
these men with those who in
1856 met Under the Oaks at
Jackson" and laid the foundation
of the grand old republican party
is travesty pure and simple.
A party formed with such men
in charge would have no more
hopes of success than did the
Greenbackers, the Populists or
any other party made up of tn e
disgruntled element of either of
the leading parties.

ere long the sound of the cracker

be heard on our natal day.
Paw Paw was one of the first
to adopt the plan of a safe and
sane Fourth of July, and has an
ordinance prohibiting the use of
explosives or fireworks within
the corporate limits of the
village. Some fault was found
with the village council in a
communication to The True
Northerner last week, because
that body turned down a petition
TO allow few people to indulge
in a display of fireworks within
the corporation on the Fourth.
Our correspondent must admit,
we think, that if the petition had
been granted, there would have
been others, and still more until
the ordinance would simply be a
dead letter. A display of fire
works in which the village
Of Paw Paw as a whole
would have been interested
would undoubtedly have met
with favor even with our wise
Paw Paw Solons." There is
quite a difference between grant
ing petition for a few private
individuals to indulge in pyro
technic display, and allowing a
public display as was granted in
Kalamazoo and other cities.

Who Is At Fault?

THEIjuvenile case brought be-
L fore the probate court of
this county last week, brings
to the mind of the interested
observer and student of the
great civic questions of the day,
the deplorable condition of
affairs as regards the young of
this great common wealth of
ours.
Every true American citizen
boasts, and with good reason,
of the fine government of our
country, and in comparison with
our foreign neighbors we are the
most enlightened and progress
sive as a government that it is
possible to maintain-with the
exception of a few details that
could be easily corrected. Our
marriage and divorce laws are a
disgrace to. this country. This
is strong language-but it bears
repeating-our marriage an
divorce laws are a disgrace.
The case just brought before
the court. in this county is a
living . example and a silent
witnessl to this assertion and
proves beyond a do"bt, without
another single particle of evi.
dence that itiis as true as the
gospel of old.
Behold the mother of this
family of four children. Unable
to read, write, distinguish direc-
tions, not-capable of telling the
time of.day; knows not how long
she has been married or how old
her children are. This is only a
beginning of the rehearsal that
was heard in this court, as
the woman testified. Nothing
could have been more detri-
mental to her own cause.

mother, .and what should her

Difference of Opinion.

IRIS strange thing, but true
L nevertheless, that we don t
all think alike. Even on the
question of safe and sane
Fourth of July there is wide
diversity of opinion. To such
an extent, indeed, do people
differ on this subject that ever
in this progressive" day and
age, there may yet be found
many who still advocate the use
of the deadly cannon, the giant
cracker, the dynamite bomb and
other death dealing devices
which help to swell the list of
fatalities and add to the number
of injured whenever enthusiasm
gets away with good judgment.
To us it seems strange that any,
one can advocate the use of these
articles of destruction either on
the Fourth Of July or any other
day. A display of fireworks,
properly conducted, may not be
an Objectionable feature in con-
nection with a celebration, but
the trouble is, people don't stop
at that. 1t got to be so that the
more dangerous and deadly the
explosive, the greater was the
demand for it until, with the
record of the manned and injured
so plainly visible on the morning
of July 9Th, each year, the move
ment for safe and sane Fourth
was started. Like every other
innovation on the existing order
of things it met with some oppo-
sition but one by one the cities
and towns are taking 1t up until

WE clip the following from
the Decatur Republican of last
week:
Atty Earl Burhaus of Paw Paw
spent the day IN Decatur last
Saturday. Mr.. Burhans seems to
be the only active candidate for the
Republican nomination for Prose-
cutting Attorney but be is putting
up Just as thorough a campaign as
though there were a dozen COMPETE
tors. 1t looks like Burhans TO
succeed Prosecutor Warner
That Mr.. Burhans would fill
the Office Of prosecuting attorney
with credit to himself and with
entire satisfaction to the voters
of the county goes without say
ing. His long service as assist
ant prosecuting attorney under
Mr.. Warner has enabled him to
become thoroughly familiar with
the requirements of the Office
and has fitted him for the per-
Torrance Of it's duties. While
as yet there has appeared no
opposition to his candidacy,
Earl is continually saving
wood" and proposes to land the
nomination if possible. Here's
hoping he succeeds.

Conditions Getting Better.

A T the time the village council
4 \ determined to do away
with the high salaried city
marshall and invest in a team
for street work there were many
doubts expressed as to the ad-
visibility of the plan, and some
objection was raised to making
departure from the old time
system. The wisdom of the
council, however, has been
amply demonstrated during the
past few months, not only from
an economical standpoint but
from the standpoint of efficiency
as well. Under the supervision
of Henry Terrill, who has had
charge of the work, the streets
are in better condition than they
have been for q long time, and
the work that is accomplished in
this direction, has cost far less
than formerly. It's true, there
