Of the people to any corporation or in
dividual in exchange for business The
Daily Mail depends on the people at
large for it's support, and without
boasting, we will say we are quite we'll
satisfied with the way it is coming our
way, just at this time.
The Daily Mail opposed the granting
of a city franchise in the way it was
done, and for the length of time> it
covers, and is still of that opinion. The
contract made by the city council may
be the best that could be obtained, but
it was the dutv Of the council to go into
the matter thoroughly, and see what
could be done, without being in such a
hurry to sign up the contract these
people offered it, especially in view of
the fact that the old contract had some
, time yet to run. The people Of the city
do not approve 1t, as the next election
in the city will show. If either Of the
four members Of city council offer for
e-election, the result will show what
the people think about the matter.
AS we stated before, we are glad to
see the Southern Public Utilities COM
pany show its hand, but it will take a
great deal more than withdrawing a
little advertising from a big corpora
tion to put the Daily Mail out Of busi-
ness, or put out Of the way the things
it stands for.-Anderson Daily Mail.
Bravely spoken and just what those
who know him would have expected of
the veteran publisher Of the. Daily
Mail, who is a newspaper man Of the
old school who correctly appreciates the
responsibilities of his high position, and
who is unwilling to betray trust that
he considers sacred either through
fear of punishment or hope Of reward.
Just what is behind it all we do not
know; but no truly loyal editor would
be at loss to imagine. Here comes a
strong corporation seeking unjust priv
ileges through which it may be assur-
ed of big dividends, and pursuing the
usual policy Of associating influential
local people, and spending a few dol
lars in the newspapers with the idea Of
suppressing alarm until after the main
purpose has been accomplished.
1t appears that the Daily Mail was
carrying an advertisement Of the cor
poration; but fully understanding a
great wrong that was about to be per-
petrated. refused to remain silent. We
can very we'll understand the sweat
through which Publisher Browne went
before he acted. The probable loss Of
a little advertising was a small matter
to him; for in his long experience he
has learned that the withdrawal of ad-
vertising is only one Of the most pue-
rile and inconsequential resorts Of the
kind of people he had to antagonize.
Such folks have their dependents,
fiunkeys and satalites, and they are
always people Of many and varied re-
sources. He knew that in a battle Of
money, boycott and the like. he would
be at a disadvantage. His only reliance
is the righteousness Of his cause, and
the confidence of the public in the re-
putation he has established for integ-
rity Knowing Mr.. Browne as we do,
we believe he will win; but even if he
does not win out financially, he will
still have his self-respect, and that is
worth more than everything else.

Discussing the Carlisle bill with ref
erence to statutory rates for official
advertising, the Bamberg Herald calls
attention to the fact that it sustains
more losses on account of this kind OF
advertising than on account Of CONNER

taken, and we are inclined to think
that most other papers can testify ac-
cordingly. We are quite sure that it
is so with us.

from the Daily Mail, but not from 9TH

would have given those folks credit for

the papers to truckle to them, and

Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 9Th
awakens memories extending over a
very long period Of years. The name
Of Robert Hayes Mitchell, about whom
you ask, Is indelibly impressed upon
my memory, but what became Of him
and his case I do not know. My best
recollection is that he was convicted
and sentenced to a term Of imprison-
ment at the Albany penitentiary, and
that in little while he was pardoned
by the president. / can not speak with
certainty Of this, however.
In those trials at Columbia acted in
partnership with Ben Pitman, who had
come on there to report them for the
Federal government. was at the time
a law clerk in the office Of the United
States attorney, David T. Corbin, and
being a stenographer reported the
trials for him. Two or three applica-
tions were made to me to furnish
transcripts, and pooled interests with
Mr.. Pitman, he taking the morning
sessions of the court and the after
noon sessions. After leaving South
Carolina, received one volume of the
reports Of those trials. They were pub
lished by the United States govern
ment, and copies given to members Of
congress ! wonder If 1t Is one Of these
COPIES ludl you nave. my OWN COpy
was borrowed 40 years ago, and never
returned.
You are not troubling me at all
only regret that I am unable to give
you with positiveness the information
you wish.
The testimony at that trial was pub
lished verbatim from day to day by the
Republican daily paper at Columbia.
think it's name was 1.-The Union" Per-
haps in a library you might get file
Of that paper. The book Of which
speak was a reprint Of those reports.
OF course the United States district
court clerk has the formal records of
the trial You might get that kind Of
information from him. The trials took
place in the winter Of 1872. think they
began December, 1871, but Of this am
not certain.

A Lively Runaway

A team with empty wagon belong
ing to H. o. Shaver got loose in the
alley back of StelZman's butcher
shop Friday afternoon and running
to Lake-av, rounded the corner down
First-st w. to Worden-av and then
east and across the railroad on
Second-st, at so fast and furious a
"clip" that no one was able to inter
fere until the tongue, which had fall
en- down, struck the rails and the
vehicle was overturned. The large
sign, and hitch-rail with iron posts,
of the Armstrong Land Co., was car
ried away in their flight and the
wagOn-box was unloaded "slick and
clean when, in rounding the cor
ner at the Cash Department Store,
the hub struck the sign post. On
lockers seemed about equally dlvid-
ed in admiration of the agility shown
by the horses in jumping back and
forth over the pole, which swung
from side to side on the ground, and
the stamina of the wagon, which was
only slightly damaged.

Makes a "Par" Of the Sheriff

Makes a "PaP' ct the Sheriff
Dick Dawson, alias John Day, who
by the way has served time at Wau-
pun, was arrested here Saturday by
Sheriff McNally after having stolen
three overcoats, one from the Com
mercial Hotel, one from McGill's res
taurant and the other from some par
ty not ascertained at the time we
secured this news item. The one
taken from McGill's restaurant be-
longed to Noble Rowley and the theft
was successfully accomplished when
several people were in the restaurant
Dawson, or whatever his name is,
simply walked in and threw the coat
over his arm as though it belonged
to him and coolly walked out unmo-
Tested.
Dawson had been closely watched
by the sheriff, who mistrusted that
the man was a crook. Mr. McNally
managed to get quite friendly with
the stranger, who was unaware of his
identity, and Dawson finally tried to
pawn one of the coats to the sheriff.
Mr.. McNally, finally, and in a friend
1y way, invited Dawson to come up
and stay with him awhile. Dawson
simply couldn't refuse.

A DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL
The City's Much-Anticipated Electric
Pump Reports for Duty
Monday

The fine, motor-driven, 3-stage, cen
trifugal pump arrived in our midst
Monday, with an unobtrusiveness out
of all proportion to it's dignity as
measured by it's Importance to this
city, which has much outgrown it's
water-apparatus-eq clothes.
In the ordinary use of the term,
the pump is three-fold arrangement
the first pump delivering the water
to the second, at an 80 it. head, the
second to the third, at a 100 ft. head.
The third pump delivers the water
to the tank at a total head of 240
feet 1t has a capacity of 400 gal
Ions Of water per minute. The city
is now using about 100 gllons per
minute.
The pump will be encased in a
steel caisson, feet in diameter, and
will be located % feet below ground.
The suction extends through the bot
tom of the caisson into. the well, at
covered with felt and is surrounded
with water, which extends to height
of 22 feet from the bottom. Being
placed at that depth, no heating is
required.
The electric starter for the motor
is located at the power house on the
dam, and the pump is started and
stopped from that point, thus requir-
ing no attendant, the pump being self
lubricating and self-oiling for per-
iod of one week.
A trident, automatic, Hylo water
guage will be placed at the power
house, beside the electric starter for
the pump. This guage indicates the
height of the water in the tank, and
when it falls below 20 feet from the
top, large gong automatically starts
ringing, and continues to ring until
the water is raised above that point.
In a like manner, the guage is
equipped with another gong which
starts to ring when the water is 3
inches from the top of the tank, and
continues until the pump is stopped.
At the discharge of the pump will
be located a 6-inch water-meter,
which will record in gallons the
amount OF water pumped each day
Also, on the switch board will be To-
Gated another meter, which will re-
cord the amount of electricity used
each day.
The city will thus be able to read
at any time, in terms of electricity
consumed, the pumps self-recorded
register of it's board-bill, as we'll as
it's wage account, in terms of gal
Ions of water delivered. The cost of
the pump, electrically equipped, is
approximately 5000.

MAKES A GOOD-LoOkING MILL
Menasha Wooden Ware Co. Now
Has Better Mill Here Than
Ever Before

The Menasha Wooden Ware Co.
now has a better plant here than
ever before. Several improvements
have been made around the plant re-
Gently, one of the most noticeable
of which is the sheathing Of the mill
in corrugated iron. The windows
are being painted and the mill pre-
sents an unusually neat appearance
for plant of this character.
1t is in such practical matters as
a far more efficient arrangement of
machinery and greatly lessened
fire risk, however, that the new
mill marks the greatest advance over
it's predecessor, that was destroyed
in the fire of March 10, last.
The arrangement of the new mill
results in a material saving of labor,
but the output is increased instead
of cutting down the number of en-
ployes. In fact, more men are now
being employed here than year ago.
In the new mill, solid-brick fire
walls, between the boiler-room and
engine-room, and between the en-
.gine-room and the mill proper, will
be of great advantage in case an
other fire breaks out. AS a further
safeguard the company's fire pump
is no longer located in the mill, as
was formerly the case, which result
ed in it's being put out Of business
soon after the fire started, but is
housed in a separate building, built
of brick and located beside the pa
per company's pumphouse. The
Wooden Ware Co. has also recently
erected a brick hose house, removed
from the mill, but still convenient
to either mill, dry-kilns or yard.
On the south side of the mill ten
dump-hoppers are being constructed
to which conveyors will lead from the
mill The mill will then be almost
completely enclosed and the labor
of loading the dump cars by hand
from the various saws will then be
done away with This Improvement
will also make the mill more COM
Portable for the employees.
On the north side of the mill
track has been constructed, on which
logs will be hauled into the mill on
cars, motive power being furnished
by drum and cable.
A fire-proof vault has been built
adjoining the office.
The burning of the old mill proved
a gain rather than loss to Lady
smith, and there is no doubt that the
company is better off-that the in
creased efficiency of the new plant
will soon repay them whatever finan-
cial loss they sustained in the loss
of the old fire-trap. 1t was really a
remarkable achievement for the To-
cal management and employees that
twenty days after the destruction of
the mill by fire they were running
again, night and day, in temporary
mill. Operations were resumed
March 80 and since that time, with
out stopping, new plant has been
shift, after which the temporary mill
shift, after which the temporary mill
was torn out.
incidentally, vast improvement in
the appearance of the yards has re-
of the fence.

= BY ED w. SMITH

NNCE you give a dog q bad
name he is apt to carry it
always This applies to
boxers as we'll as dogs. Tommy
Burns is finding 1t to be the case.
The Calgary financier and haber-
dasher boxer has been under sus-
picion more than once for trick
cry in matchmaking and "arrang-
ing" with what justice we are
not prepared just now to state,
but the fact remains that critics
and public are not inclined appar-
emily to take seriously anything
p that Tommy does. They took his
connection with Arthur Pelkey
with some degree OF seriousness,
but when Gunboat Smith licked
Him and Kid Kenneth followed
up that defeat by tumbling Pei
key over in six rounds, the smile
went around and Tommy mere
ly was charged with being a bad
Judge of a fighter.
THEN Tommy decided to take
up the burden OF whipping
some of the white hopes himself,
and somebody out in Taft, Cal,
took him seriously. They matched
him with Battling Brant. and aft
err Tommy had given Brant, who
was said to have been connected
with the Kenneth camp, a good
lacing in q short encounter, the
word went out that Brant was a
plant" a friend OF Burns, who
had been placed" for the purpose
of giving Tommy a little cheap
come-b back reputation.

"a past of the Calgary man ev-
erybody was prepared to believe
the yarn. Burns himself pro-
nounces 1t ridiculous and says
that he never before going to
Taft with Pelkey had laid an
eye on Brant. We believe Tom

thing we can not understand, and
that Is why Burns Is so persist

grind OF training again, Tommy
Is well fixed with the worlds

record he held at one time will be
entirely smirched by a licking at
the hands OF some newcomer.
Burns will be 80 years old in June

the mystery Of II all is. Why
should he?
