HELLER, Manager, Adams county presents a class of 147 graduates ready to enter the business and higher educational work after their graduation June 11th. It’s 1 the biggest class in history and their t diplomas have been well earned by I each. Prof. Opliger’s efforts and sue- s ce<~ certainly dieserve the highest t commendation. s - ■ v Harry Thaw is still crazy accord- v Ing to the verdict in his habeas cor c pus case. Those judges down in New f York seem to be wise to the fact that I public did not want Thaw electrocut- I ed, but don’t want him free to kill some one else and then appeal to his 1 crazy moments for a defense. Now what will Evelyn do to keep the re- a porters busy? a ——■ —— t The prediction is made that at an 5 opportune moment Senator LaFollette will deliver a speech in the Chicago y convention placing In nomination a Theodore Roosevelt. It is expected <3 that the effect of this speech will be 1 £ a stampede in which the anti-Taft element may join. A contingency of this sort may be provided for by nom- j

inating Taft by acclamation. —South Bend Times, Dan G. Reid and George F. McCullough are quarreling over the interests each alleges to have in the Star league. Their separate claims have been set forth in court papers and a persual of them must impress the reader with the fact that both gentlemen have sacrificed heavily for the education of the public. However, they were educating themselves at the same time. It is safe to assume that in future neither of them will go a-Maying with a newspaper plant— Fort Wayne News. That “your sin will find you out” is again proven in the case of Mae Wood in her attack on Senator Platt. Her forged marriage certificate was filled out on a blank form that was not printed until a year after the date that she swore she had received it. So she rests under the charge of forgery and perjury. The aged senator in the money he has paid and the unpleasant notoriety he has attained may reflect also that his follies have found him ouL His experience with Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Janeway must also suggest to him the elder Weller’s warning—“Bevare of Viddere.” NOTICE TO THE REBEKAHS.

BODY IN A BARREL. Police Believe Unknown Woman Was Murdered at New York. New York, May 25. —The body of an unidentified woman, whom the police believe to have been murdered, was found floating today in a barrel in Little Hell Gate, between Wards and Randalls islands, is Thomas Jefferson. Park, where many Italian outings are held. The body was that of a woman probably under forty years old. attired in dark clothing and a heavy winter coat. There were no rings on the fingers, and the size and condition of her hands seemed to indicate that the woman had been accustomed to hard work. There was a deep gash across the face, such as might have been caused by the blow of a hatchet. This so mutilated the features as to make identification difficult. It is believed that the body had been in the water only a short time. The body had been fastened into the barrel by a stout rope secured around her waist, and then fastened around the cutside of the barrel. The barrel and its contents were picked up in midriver by a tug and towed to a pier nearby. When the body was drawn to the top of the pier the barrel became detached from it and drifted away.
