DANGEROUS FIRE

Fire, large in possibilities but small
in actual damage, occurred at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the basement
window of the closed Gantert cigar
store, 1904 Second avenue. EVIDENT
ly. someone passing on Second avenue,
threw a lighted cigar or cigarette into
the window, in which there was an
accumulation of rubbish Soon there
was a blaze, but the wind, blowing
from the north. carried the smoke i'll
to the basement, and so it was not
discovered til the odor had penetrated
adjoining walls into other buildings In
the same block Then there was a
hurried search for the fire. When il
Was found the flames were cracking
merrily and good start made toward
wholesale destruction An amateur fire
department was organized With Henry
Kramer at the head and with the aid
Of chemical eNtinguisher the blaze
was made short work Of The depart
mCnt was not called out.

ality gives a much more grievous sig
nifiCance to words and sentences that
otherwise seemed tame and merely
the natural Outpouring of political dis
appointments.
The Atlas would not have it under
stood that it is seeking to print an
apology for anything it has said con-
corning Judge Cooke and his cam
paign, since an apology is TO retract
things said maliciously or with intent
to injure someone. But we do believe
that it is no more than due Judge
Cooke and his friends, now that We
have met him and gained a more thGn
casual acquaintance with him and his
personality, that we say what We have
in explanation and as an excuse for
what has been written"
In view Of the fact that the Atlas
has had the manhood TO do Judge
Cooke justice, it will now be interest
ing TO know if the Review of that city
will likewise have the courage to do
the honorable thing in view of the I'M
becoming things il has said about Jus.
tice Cooke since the election.

CURioSITiES OF PAIN.

A cramp In the Toe May Indicate a
Dsordered Stomach.
Pain sometimes behaves in a curious
fashion There was soldier in Lon
don after the Boer war who complain
ed OF excruciatiug neuralgia pains in
his right foot
This very much amused bis friends.
for he had lost his right leg. and both
leg and foot were long buried near
Ladysmith.
The explanation was that the pain
happened 10 be m the trunks OF those
nerves which had sent branches to the
foot Sometimes a patient comes to
doctor complaining OF pain In the knee.
and be Is greatly surprised when the
doctor tells him that the site Of the
affection is not the knee. but the hip
We are all familiar with the pain IN
der the shoulder blade which comes
from an afflicted liver.
The stomach. too. can produce pain
in many parts Of the body. A diSor-
dered stomach will give Us pain as far
away as the head. and when one gets a
cramp in his toe II is often due to acid
ity Of the stomach Swallow Il pinch
OF soda and the cramp will disappear.
An aching tooth will produce neural
gic pains in the face. ana very often a
violent pain at the back of the head i

Retracts Infamous Statements

Under the caption. we Have Met
Judge Cooke" the Monmouth Atlas of
last evening makes the following re-
traction of the infamous attack it made
on Justice Cooke in its issue the day
following the election:
Justice George A. Cooke OF Aledo,
who has just been reelected as asso-
ciate justice of the supreme bench.
was a Monmouth visitor yesterday and
called upon the Atlas editor TO protest
the statements made in the issue Of
this paper June . respecting the man
uer in which he had secured the cleo
tion to ne supreme bench in the Fourth
judicial district. and TO especially deny
and condemn those statements which
charged him with excessive and the
corrupt use Ct money in the campaign
just ended
This vas the first time that either
Of the Atlas editors had ever met Mr..
Cooke, and We want TO say in all fair
ness and business to him and 10 mis-
friends that We believe that the Atlas
did not treat him fairly nor justly in
its posteleCtion write-up OF the cleo
ton. especially since the writer had
neither personal knowledge concerning
the conditions Of which he spoke nor
is he by any means convinced that his
infcrmants would he willing 10 make
the statements printed upon their own
authority and over their own sigma

lures charging corruption by Mr..
Cooke in his campaign.
We were much pleased to make the
acquaintance of Mr. Cooke and certain
ly this newspaper has no desire to
print untruths concerning any candi-
date Of any party
AS We write the above we are rath-
er impressed by the fact that individ-
uals as well as newspapers are much
to be censured in their political criti-
cisms of those public men whom they
DO not know. For instance, the writer
believes that no American statesman
lives today who is so able, so clean
politically. so honest, fair and just as
Uncle Joe Cannon. and yet We know
that in saying this we are speaking to
all that is vicious, corrupt and unfair
in politics But we know him person
ally, intimately, and know why his peO-
pie return him again and again and we
know votes are not corrupted.
And just as many an Atlas reader
will and does condemn Mr.. Cannon
without real knowledge and without
evidence, so has the Atlas written con.
corning Mr.. Cooke. He was imperson.
al. We merely condemned an unknown
faroff something, which was not a
personality, but a mere obstacle 10 a
desired political contamination. To
know the personality and 10 hear the
protests and reasoning Of that person,

HOPE FOR ACTION N SENATE.

Their effort will be made 10 have it

the senate's committee has shown it
self more friendly 10 the local ar

prospects that the bill when finally
passed will include this item are of
the best.
The appropriation asked for will
increase by several hundred the num-

Fourteen Year Old Girl Meets Death
In Fathers CornfeId-Hundred Men

AssaiIant-Money and Groceries
Found by Her Side-Mother Is an
Invalid
North Carmel, Me-, July &c.
Naomi Eta Mitchell, an attractive
14-year- girl, was attacked and
murdered in her fathers cornfeld,
just out of earshot of her home.
Her mutilated body was found and
more than 100 men, armed with shot
guns and rifles, are searching the
woods for Sherman Gray, farmland,
mentally deranged, who is suspected
of the atrocity.
The girl, who was tall and we'll
developed for her age, was found in
cornfeld. The growing corn had been
trampled down for some space about
the body, indicating she had made a
| desperate struggle with her assailant.
Her throat was cut and her clothing
had been ripped off.
The arms were tied behind with
strips of her clothing. Near by were
found, scattered about, groceries she
had bought at the store and which
she was carrying home when at
| 70 ~,
was found also.
Gray, who had been at one time
confined in an insane asylum, was last
seen leaving Mason's store, following
close after Miss Mitchell. He has
been missing since then.
Miss Mitchell was the daughter of
Phineas Y Mitchell and one of fam
ily-o of eleven children. Her home is
in North Carmel, near the Levant
line.
Mr.. Mitchell, who had been watch
ing beside his sick wife, called
Naomi to relieve him at his wife's
bedside between midnight and 1
o'clock. 1t was then he first knew
that she had not returned home.
He at once notified his nearest
neighbors. They in turn spread the
news through the community. At the
Mason store it was remembered that
Gray had followed the girl from the
store and searching parties were at
once started.
Gray has not been at home since the
discovery His mother, according to
> the guards who have neen posted
about the house, believes him to be
the girls assailant.
Gray is described as a man of large
physique, weighing about 100 pounds
and about thirty-two years of age.
