An on For Goethals

The New York legislature re-
fused to pass the law offered by
Mayor Mitchell which was to
give the head of the police of
that city absolute power in dis
ciplining and discharging police
officials. Mitchell wants Goeth-
ais on the job and the canal man
refused to consider the offer if
his work was to be handicapped
at every step by court procedure.
Mitchell suggested a bill to give
the police commissioner absolute
power in this respect and the
legislature voted it down "a to
40.

Coming Of Spring

Saturday was March 21, the
official opening Of Spring. The
sun in its orbit crossed the
celestical equator and began its
journey into the tropic Of Cander.
The SUMS rays shine now more
directly on our devoted heads
and before long we win be get
ting them direct from a point
above US. The beginning Of the
week Indicated that the opening
of Spring was more than a mere
theory as the birds sang gaily
and the weather had all the
touches Of early Spring. Some
time it is going TO quit showing
and Spring will be here to re-
main.

Not By Yet

We have had returned to us
marked refused" this week,
the Courier to the number of 8
by men who have read it for 8
or A years without paying for it.
Perhaps had we not called the
attention of these fellows to the
fact that it was about time they
were advancing a little on their
accounts, they would have en-
joyed the news thru its columns
until they died and wholly at
our expense.
We have but a few left OF
those more than a year behind
and we are glad of it, but those
who think they have eluded
payment for the paper for 8 OF
A years by ordering it stopped
when they are asked to pay, viii
find themselves badly mistaken,
We intend camping on Their
trails and collecting what is due
to us if there is any way to dc
so. The man who will refuse tc
answer a polite request to pay
what is due to another, then
gets a stronger intimation that
he will be expected to pay and
undertake to dodge the debt by
such methods as have been re,
sorted to in the cases mentioned
deserves to be put to some ex.
pense and considerable trouble
and we will see that some ot
them get what is coming to then
from us.

concerning the Federal Game
Law that he wrote to a govern
ment official about the matter,
and has been advised that spe-
cial agents Of the Government

there is no question but that all

interested party can see what he
had to say about the matter BY

Years

Mrs. Anna A. Fetzer sr. one Of
the old settlers Of the county
died at the home Of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Anna Kistler south Of

good old woman who had spent
a long life of devotion to hel
faith and her family were de.

of Mrs. Fetzer and who, witt
her had witnessed the change
which have taken place in this
section left among us and but {
few years more the exterminatior
of all those hardy, noble and trust
worthy characters to whom this
country owes its best citizenship
today will be the result of tn,
inevitable.

Gets Good Cattle

John Wren, a progressive
farmer of this neighborhood has
just returned from a trip to
where he secured the foundation
for a fine herd of Shorthorns.
He secured a bull from Williams
port. Ohio and three cows from
Davenport, Iowa which arrived
this week. He travelled from
west to east through Iowa to
select the best stuff he could find
and got the best Scotch short
horn breed. He says that four
animals are a small start but the
get of these COWS will be all he
could ask and when he gets
them he win have something
that will produce in all lines and
put on more flesh for feed used
than anything he knows Of.
This is the sort Of stuff that goes
up to the ton mark in a few
years and he feel pretty good

Mrs. Robert Crismond Of Bruins
wick Victim Of Midnight
Marauder

Some time Friday night a
sneak thief entered the home Of
Robert Crismond in the west
part Of Brunswick, slugged his
wife gagged her, tied her hands
and feet, took what money he
could find and escaped. Mr..
Crismond is employed at the
Wabash round house and works
at night. 1t ( is the general
opinion that the work was done
by home talent and the party OF
parties were aware of Mr..
Crismond's absence and chose
midnight for their dirty work.
Prosecuting Attorney Rucker
gained the consent of the coun-
ty court Monday to offer a re-
ward for the capture of the per-
petrater Of the crime, and the
court offers to pay not exceeding
$50. 90 but as much up to that
amount as will be contributed by
Brunswick or her citizens. For
some reason the citizens of that
city appear to be but little inter
ested in the case and there is an
element of mystery surrounding
it which puzzles our reporter.

Rucker and suffragettes

tions of President, v. President
and M. C's. The committee had
a session Tuesday at which there
were present a number of suf-
fragists and ants. The purpose
of the suffragists was to get the
committee to do what they had
failed to get thru the House or
Senate, tho the question was en-
tirely different from the one
acted on by Congress, yet a flank
movement by the leaders of the
suffrage movement.
Congressman Rucker upset all
traditions of Congressional hear
ings on the subject, ruling tn at
the committee would hear both
sides in a sort of joint debat e,
not one side at a time. The
charge made by Miss Minnie
Bronson, Secty. of the Womans
anti-suffrage league that Eliza
beth Cady Stanton had attempt
ed to re-write the Bible without
mentioning a male, even when
when she had occasion to re-
fer to Deity, was challenged by
Mrs. Clara Colby, Secty. of the
Federal Suffrage Association. 1t
appears that Mrs. Colby was not
certain whether the Stanton
woman had done such a thing or
not, but she wanted time to look
the matter up and go after Miss
Bronson. Judge Rucker inform
ed her that the committee would
adjourn and let the debaters
have the entire room to them
selves. That the spectators en-
joyed the results of the decision
of Chairman Rucker was attest
ed by their sticking to their
chairs.
Rev. Olympia Brown, Prest.
of the Federal Suffrage AS
sociation informed the committe
| that it would be easy for it to
pass the measure before it and
save the association the necessity
of going before the various state
Legislatures. She said that it
would also make congressman
come out of the brush, clothed
in their true colors. Miss
Bronson said that they were
there to ask the committe not to
do the easy thing, but the right
thing, and she proceeded to
show conclusively that the status
of women in suffrage states was
not so good as IN other states.
Miss Bronson also challenged the
statement that men in suffrage
states favor votes for women.
She declared that numbers of
men in suffrage states had told
her they were opposed to it, but
that no politician in a suffrage
state dared to open his mouth
: against woman suffrage.
It is evident from all reports
on the subject that the course
: of Chairman Rucker in the mat
ter is approved by all except the
: few specially referred to by Miss
Bronson, and the women of
leisure who are pushing the votes
for women fad.
