forty years Of age, was found lying
dead on the sidewalk in front of the
Railroad hotel on Academy street at
five O'Clock this morning by Clyde
Rossiter, who was on his way to work
at the Haskins & Schwartz warehouse.
Rossiter at once notified the night clerk
of the hotel, who discovered that the
dead man was one of the guests who
had stepped out of the building not
more than ten minutes previous. Pei
ton lay face downward with his hat
over his face and seemed to have fallen
in his tracks without any struggle The
police We're promptly notified of the
finding of the body. Patrolman Dorm
responded and summoned DR.. Charles
Sutherland, who made an autopsy. He
found that Pelton's death was the re-
suit of heart failure and alcoholism
The remains were removed to the Ryan
undertaking rooms to await directions
for their disposal Station officer Sam
Brown discovered letter in the peck
cts of Pelton addressed to him at Platte
vile, care Of the Beckwith livery barn.
BY telephoning that place he learned
that Pelton had mother, daughter and
sisters living in that city. The man who
responded to the telephone message
sent to Platteville said that Peton had
been troubled with heart disease for a
long time and that his death was not

Secretary of War Stimson last week
approved plans for a reunion of the
union and confederate survivors of the
battle of Gettysburg ON the battlefield
next July, IN celebration Of the hftieth
anniversary of the battle.
Congress has appropriated $3.50, 900
for the encampment, the state Of Penn
sylvania $3.50, 600, and the states north
and south that had troops in the great
battle are expected to provide funds
sufficient to transport the veterans to
and from the battlefield.
Fifty-four thousand tents, with a
capacity of from 60, 900 to 10000 sol
diers, will be shipped to Gettysburg.
The camp will cover over 276 acres of
ground and will be temporarily occupied
by about 100, 900 persons
In addition to the tents, the war de-
partment will provide 200 kitchens and
q complete divisional field hospital. 1t
is estimated that at least 1000 cooks
will be required

Holy Week Prevents Celebration.

The usual celebration of st. Patrick
Day will be suspended this year for the
fourth time since 1900 and the last time
in the twentieth century.
1t is all because the annual feast day
comes on the second day of Holy week
and the Catholic church rules that all
feasts shall be either postponed or can
celed if they fall in the week before
Easter.
There have been only three times in
the past that the celebration on st.
Patrick's Day was suspended on ac-
count of Holy week. They were in
1918, when Easter fell on March %, the
earliest date on which it can occur, in
1845 and 1856, when it came on March
%, the same date as this year
CGlculators have figured Easter dates
until the year 1000, but they have found
no other year in which Easter will come
so early as to keep the Irishman from
singing the praise Of St Patrick.
But the church does not forbid the
wearing of green ribbon in Holy week,
and it is expected that yards of the ma
tional color will be worn.

tor to vote at every election. In
this highest function of govern
ment men show no regard for
what was won by the blood of
our forefathers."
In discussing the remarks of Secre-
tary Daniels, the Spokane Spokes-
man-Review said:
"The west properly appreciates the
tribute paid by Mr. Daniels to it's
political leadership. 1t realizes that
the west is a vast word and thing.
that Wisconsin is considered by
Massachusetts to be as much the
west as is Oregon and that honor
for political reform is as due to the
Wisconsin idea as to the Oregon idea
But it recognizes the substantial fact
underlying the secretary's declaration
that from the first days of the Am
erican commonwealth-the west of
pioneer has been the fountain head
of the progressive movements and
forces that have expanded the letter
of the republicanism of the federal
constitution into the spirit of direct
democracy.
LAS to the statements that the man
who takes no interest in politics is
not a good citizen and that our hope
for success in government rests in
the willingness of propertied men to
render public service-if the south
ern democrat who now is secretary
of the American navy has said moth
ing else at Spokane these utterances
alone would have been we'll worth
his making the long journey through
the west. What he said is so true
as to be truism, an acknowledged
commonplace of peoples talk ami
thought. But the man behind the
truism gives new weight to old truth.
ut needs to be said over and over
again. 1t should make the ears
tingle of every self-satisfied good"
citizen who heard it and thinks good
stops with prompt pay
ment of taxes and SNUG compliance
with the law. The qualified citizen
who abstains from voting is a bad
citizen to that extent. Mr.. Daniels
did we'll to press this fact home upon

Jingoism and Peace

That President Wilson won't recog-
nize the Huerta government of Mex
leo as long as formidable opposition
to that government exists, may be
taken for granted. The same applies
to the notion that he may be driven
to grant the lingo demand for in
tervention. Recognition at this time
means moral support of tyrannical
despotism founded on murder. In
PREVENTION means sacrifice of lives
and money for the benefit of inves-
tors. Jingoes who desire interven-
ton need not await the approval of
President Wilson to go to Mexico
and intervene on their own respon-
sibility and at their own expense
But that is not what they want. They
wish those who are not jingoes to be
forced to contribute toward the ex-
pense of Intervention and to risk their
lives in the operation. If interven-
ton implied putting none but limoges
on the firing line, and taxing none but
jingoes to pay the expense, even the
Hearst papers would shout for peace
and disarmament.-The Public.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.


Exercise favors the growth OF
bone and muscle. 1t quickens
the elimination Of waste prod
ucts. 1t accelerates the work of
the liver. the lungs, the skin and
the kidneys. 1t makes more
active the brain. 1t brightens
the eye. clears the skin and
tones up the whole organism.
The appetite is made keener, and
digestion is aided by greater
appetite for food.
But while exercise is absolute
ly necessary to health and to a
perfect digestion, it does not al
ways achieve this end, as for
instance, when it is taken too
soon before or after meals. No
one should exercise immediate
ly preceding or following a meal,
one hour before and two hours
after eating being the better
time. 1t is fairly safe, however,
to fix the time preceding a meal
at one hour, for the stomach is
then somewhat empty.
