oo - THIS COUNTY.

w. E. Wilson has been serving as
carrier on mail route Ne. / from this
Office since the robbery of Herbert
Williams Saturday the 10Th inst.
Herbert Williams, the rural carrier
who was slugged and robbed while
making his round on the 10th inst,
| is thought to be improving slowly,
though he has never regained con-
seriousness except a few short mo-
ments at a time since. He states that
he was struck by a shot gun in the
hands of Boss Gaylord.
A searching party consisting of
Dick Dancer, Ury Nichols, Ben Boil
ton. Cleve Hairston and Elliot Moore,
left for search, and the three lat
ter soon located the brute at the home
of Sherman Riddles, and brought him
to town, where he was delivered to
Sheriff Gordon. The speedy spiriting
away of the prisoner by the sheriff
prevented his being lynched by the
irate patrons of Williams mail route.
Herbert Williams, the victim OF the
tragedy, was carried to the infirmary
at Little Rock Sunday, where an OPP
Grafton may be performed sn the hope
of assisting him to regain strength
and consciousness.

WHO TAKES RESPONSIBILITY !

To the farmer. the herder, the
ranchman and the hunter dog is a
necessity. In the city it is a NUS
ance. While the dog is domestic
animal it is not natural for it to in
habit the cities. The close confine-
ment is foreign to its nature That is,
speaking of dogs generally.
For this reason dogs which have
no visible means of support should
be killed. Dogs which have a visi-
BILE means of support may be
designated by the tax tag and a
muzzle.
1t is the NANCY tramp dog that is q
menace to the community. He is
poorly fed and subject to disease.
That points to the wisdom of killing
all dogs whose owners do not care
enough about them to pay the tax
and buy muzzle. Some of the own
ers think they are above the law and
don't need to buy muzzles. 1t looks
as If they were right.
hc Jug CdA 10 L year ana
muzzle can be bought for SO cents
so that II a dog is worth keeping he
| is surely worth that much. A man
who is content that his dog should be
a menace to the children and babies
of the community deserves to have
| 1t shot.
There is no use IN going into the
| terrors of rabies. Enough has beer
said about that. The point is, if one
of the tramp dogs innoculate a child
with this dread disease who will take
the responsibility?
| No matter how well-bred or how
rich an owner he has, any dog with
out tag or muzzle is a tramp.
Some of these days one of thes,
dogs will bite about dozen children
They will die in the horrible agonie
lof hydrophobia.
Then the people of this city VIII,
pay taxes and support city official
and policemen will wake up.

DOING THE RIGHT.

Stand by the right" cries the
preacher. That's a pretty tough task
sometimes. but not so hard as to
know what is right, when there are
thousands equally intelligent and
honest, to gainsay almost every prop
osition supposed to be right For In
stance, there is the editor of secu-
lar paper. He may be as anxious to
do the rigth in his sphere as the
preacher, but what phase of the
thousand, and one questions that
come within his range of observation
and action is right? What is just
the right position on the bank ques-
ton. on finance generally, tariff,
labor, temperance, etc. What posi-
ton on any of these is there that has
not been deemed wrong by many?
Though one may make thorough
study and conscientious effort to
reach right conclusions, he may still
have looming up before him the
great question, What is truth" The
immortal Lincoln made a qualiffca-
ton ever needed when exhorted to
do right, Let US do the right as God
gives us to see the right There is
no doing better than this, says the
Lagrange Standard.

SAD BEAST, THE MOOSE.

In the quiet of his study in SIAM
ford, Conn, the Rev. William j. Long
has been refreshing his memory
touching the bull moose, and has just
made public his findings in the In
dependent His verdict is that bull
moose is not high title for a man
Or a party to adopt.
From a book entitled The Wild
erness Hunter and written by one T..
Roosevelt" says Mr.. Long, he takes
these quotations.
The bull moose lives on the pub
lie domain and is very wasteful
FEEDER
HE is of wandering and Eighty
disposition. His flesh, moreover, is
coarse and stingy; his hide is thick
and of very poor quality
"Hhe frequently shows a clumsy
slowness of apprehension which
amounts to downright stupidity"
Mr.. Long, 1t may be mentioned, is
the naturalist who was termed a ma
ture faker by the claimant, but there
can be no going behind the returns
IN this instance.
AS a simple matter of history just
recall that the Colonel said he felt
like a bull moose.

CUPID HOLDS THE RECORD.

There is every reason why the
Burns ditch project should be hast
ened and the Little Calumet valley
drained. This year, with the over
flow, the Little Calumet went on a
regular rampage. 1t has always
been a source of bother and the only
one that ever laughed at 1t was
Cupid. We cite the incident at the
wedding of Betsy Prents and
Lorenzo Beebe in the year of grace,
1887. They arrived at the banks Of
the Calumic, as II was then called,
intending to get married at Squire
Balls cabin out Hobart township
way. on the other side of the stream.
But the river was wide and the boat
ing facilities meager. However, the
squire had leather lungs and he
shouted the words of union over to
the lovers on the Jersey side and they
replied back. This is about the only
time that man got ahead of the
sinuous Calumet but if the Burns
ditch comes the stream will be con-
quered.
