The Body Found

1t is not necessary to overrun Mexico to find
Huerta They be found in the American saloons
in plenty at the road houses and about the brewery
offices. The kidnapping and murder of Louis R. Pat
mont, at Danville, is but of long series of this
class of crimes, and except for the high character of
Pepenbrink and other brewers in Joliet it is probable
similar horrors would have occurred closer at home
Letters received here making the threats
sent by men bold enough to sign their names, and
the letters are being saved by men prudent enough
be saving.
For downright brutality, John Barleycorn is the
king of the universe.
1t IS now probable that the murderers of this
kindly clergyman will be uncovered Burns is their
heels and the men higher up, if there such, will
come in for their share of punishment.
Thus does greed overstep the limits of endurance
Instead of terrorzng the drys, these murders give
them greater determination The need is more urgent
for early removal of the cause of all this brutality
The drys understand and are unafrad.

Asks Mayor Bennett How to Run City
Without Saloon Revenue

Rockford has made good without saloon revenue
Pretty much all of Illinois, in fact all of the country
knows this. Freeport, neighboring wet city which
went dry the 9Th of April knows it and accordingly
has shown the good sense to send a committee to
Mayor Bennett to learn how the city has managed
to extend public improvements has done without
saloon license money.
Alderman Harris and City Engineer Battles were
the two public officials who interviewed Mayor Ben
nett who gladly gave information based on Rockfords
experience.
Rockford has not suffered for lack of public funds
because of the loss of saloon and no city need
suffer financially with the closing of Saloons if it uses
the same good business judgment that Rockford fol-
lows.

KEEP FROST OFF PIPES.

Every farmer knows what it is to
be troubled with frozen water pipes in
winter. There are few but have had
the experience of having to thaw them
out some time Or another. In recent
issue of the Country Gentleman a
writer says that he has found sue
cessful method of treating the pipes
so they will not freeze. The method
is described as follows: "After much
experimenting I finally hit upon the
easiest, most inexpensive and surest
way to keep the frost off the pipes.
I have recommended it to many peo-
pie, who have tried it and found it
saves many repair bills. Melt an
equal quantity Of petroleum-vaseline
and Of paraffin wax together, and,
after wiping the pipes perfectly dry,
apply with an old brush thick coat
of this mixture while it is hot. An
old lamp or torch will easily keep it
it in liquid state. You will find that
no matter how cold the weather may
get the frost cannot penetrate this
coat of greese. l have used this on
water pipes that ran along the ground
unprotected, and not once during the
coolest weather did they freeze up or
give me the least trouble"

The finding was announced Sunday.
While the commissioners say that
they have reached "a definite and posi-
tive opinion as to the present mental
condition of Thaw and his probable
state of mind at the time of the homi-
eide" they refrain from expressing
this opinion in view of their instruc-
tions from the court not to "embarrass
any subsequent litigation where the
broad question of insanity might be
involved"
No Menace Now.
Upon the question of menace or
danger through the granting of bail,
we may, however, be permitted and
probably are compelled" concludes
the report, ito record our finding that

condition of Harry Kendall Thaw. at

question we express no opinion, he is

liberty under bail would not be dan
gerous or menace to the public
peace and safety"
Judge Gets Report.
The report is now in the hands OF
the clerk of the court and will be con-
sidered by Judge Aldrich early in the
present week in connection with the
petition of Thaw for admission to bail
under habeas corpus proceedings. In
the rescript naming the commission,
the judge said that after the prosecu-
ton of the report the interested par.
ties would have an opportunity to be
heard further before the question of
bail was finally passed upon. No date
for snch hearing has been set as
yet.
