THE UBIQUITOUS ASSASSIN.
Assassins have ended the lives of
three rulers since February. The president of San Salvador died from
bullet wounds, and the president of
Mexico was shot to death as was the
king of Greece a few- days ago.
Since October attempts have been
made upon former President Roose
velt. the civil governor of Fuchau and the viceroy of India, each of the
three being wounded, but, happily escaping death.
What ever pleasure those in exalt
ed position derive from worldly
honors and th applause of the mult!

race to an existence as bare of enjoyment as that of a horse, and with
the added anxiety concerning the

Hammond was a bit of a city when

Ward. It was one evidence of his popularity that after serving the city as a democratic alderman for years he should have been elected commissioner on the republican ticket after a short Interim in private life when he tired of the free-silver policy of the democrats and took a firm stand for sound money. His campaigns over the county brought him in constant touch with the plebiscite and nearly every man in the county either knew him or knew of him.
As commissioner he had served the county well. He stood for progress
In the fullest sense of the term and
It was his ambition to give the county
the best he had at his command. He represented no particular section cf the county but gave it as a whole his attention. He insisted however that the north end of the county should
have its proportionate due from the county treasury in the matter of expenditure for improvements and with
his sturdy Teutonic insistence always won out. He has had no small part for 23 yeras in promoting the development of the Calumet region. When he championed a project it was very likely to success. And yet his enthusiasm was usually tempered with good judgment. , " His championing of the purchase of
a lake front park has been demonstrated to be the, height of wisdom. Many other progressive acts characterize his career. It was in private life as well as in public life however that his sterling
