Miss Helen Dugan, little daughter of i Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Dugan, was happily and agreeably surprised Tuesday even- ! ing to receive by parcels post a beautiful Indian basket from Oaxaca, Mexico, the gift of Baby Wallace, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Wallace. The basket was packed with Indian pottery In the form of child's dishes, and they are very beautiful, causing the housewifely little heart of , little Helen to dance with rapture. The basket it Is thought has been long on I the way, being delayed by the revolu- , tion, but this is uncertain as the postmark is very indistinct. Accompany- ; Ing the basket was a card with only a few words of greeting. Other than this, no letters or word have been received from the Oaxaca residents for several weeks. CONFIRMS CABINET.

A GREAT HUM Ek Is Lewis Bunn, of Ossian, Who is Visiting Here With Sister MRS. C. J. WEAVER Just Returned From Alabama—Has Killed 103 Deer In His Lite Lewis Bunn, of Ossian, is here for | a several days' stay with his sister, Mrs. C. J. Weaver. He is a famous hunter and returned only last Friday from Alabama where he spent the | winter. He has visited all the famous hunting districts of the country and during his career as a hunter, has killed 103 deer. The small game of all kinds, credited to him, is too numerous to mention. While in Alabama this, winter, he killed 500 squirrels and much more small game. While small game was plentiful there he reports that he killed not one deer this season, which is a very unusual occurrance. The high waters, it is thought drove the deer from the river district to the hills, where they fortunately for the hunted beasts, escaped the hunters. Mr. Bunn formerly owned several sections of land in northern Michigan where the great, happy, hunting grounds lie. o Acrobatic Feat 'Continued from Pare T) matter of the campaign was given as impartially as possible, and all such simply news accounts and announcements were given free of charge as that which the subscribers had a right to know. Matter which declare certain principles, lies with the factions, and is not general enough to be classed as news, hence must come in the department of paid advertising. The faction that buys the space has the right to have printed there what he wishes. In the same issues of the papers of the city were published as paid ads the different sides to the two factions —each the opposite of the other. Why had one faction any more reason than the other to be angry with the newspaper for printing that which the other had bought. If there is any reason for offense, both “sides” have equal reason for such. This matter might be looked upon ■ as a debate —each side setting forth its I arguments. The newspaper advertisements may be likened to the building in which they are held. There is as much reason for the conflicting parties to say they will never go to that building again when it upholds such theories as that given by its opponent debaters, as to say that they will not read the paper containing their opponents' ads. The newspaper is the medium for expression, not the judge? If the newspaper were the judge, there would be no need to hold an election. It could just peremptorially decide the matter by taking "sides.?
