Woman's Life Saved. A rather curious case came to our attention of a woman in Detroit whose life was saved "several times," so she says, by Ath-lo-pho-ros. Once is a good record, but "several times" makes her a warm advocate of Ath-lo-pho-ros w henever rheumatism is mentioned you can writeto her if you want Kate Nauman, b'J) 12th St., Detroit, Mich. She says Ath-lo-pho-ros is the best and only medicine that will cure rheumatism, "lecause it has cured me," and she fays "the swelling and intense pain ceased w ithin live minutes after the first dose." She further says, "the disease has no more dread for me as long as Ath-lo-pho-ros can he obtained." What it has done for herit will do fr anyone.

There was considerable objection to the hanging of Joseph Keith on the part of a great many newspapers because he was convicted upon circumstantial evidence. No doubt the murderer's confession will give relief to a great deal of anxiety. Keith became intimate with the Kifer girl and she took i dvantage of their relationship to extort money from him with constant threats to expose him. His desire to save himself in the estimation of his family and friends prompted his crime. That he should have concluded that murder would relieve him from the penalty of his illicit relations with the girl is past human understanding. Keith was evidently not a bad man at heart, but desperate in desperate situations. His solution of his perplexities should be a warning to all who contemplate the concealing of their sins by means of crime.

Hill to the front s the generali accepted leader of the Now York democracy, both in the city and state. It is also bt -lieved that the leadership of Trim man v will be taken from Croker if litdoes not voluntarily resign. Tliiseems to be about as it should bt. While there have been some things about David 15. Hill that wert not altogether admirable, he is undoubtedly a man of much ability and a politician of large capacity. His leadership is far preferable to anything they have had in the state for several years, and he seems to be about the only man in sight who can throw IJoss Piatt down and come anywhere neai holding him down. For these reasons and many others David Uennett Hill's leadership in New York will be hailed with pleasure by democrats generally. Michigan City Dispatch.

It appears to be generally conceded that the election in New York resulted in bringing David B

The following from the Goshen News-Times serves as an admonition that there is urgent necessity for a reform in the management of municipal affairs: "It developes that the shortage of City Treasurer P. P. Abel, of Elkhart, has been a steady and continued drain on the city's finances throughout the greater part of his incumbency of nearly ten years, due largely to incompetency and gross carelessness of bookkeeping, rather than any real criminal intent on the part of the official. How such gioss carelessness in the city's system of keeping accounts should have Deen tolerated by the city council all these years is inexplicable. This is certainly the time to adopt a business like method of keeping the city treasurer's books and provide a system of regular checking of his accounts." It is very evident that the proper system of bookkeeping has not been adopted in Goshen and this is true in a great many towns and cities. The city's books should be such that errors could be readily detected. The shortage of City Treasurer Abel, of Elkhart, is an instance that should caution the officials of other cities as well.

Hon. John 11. Stoll is a very clever writer and as politic as he is clever. Recently he had an editor

The t'di'or of the Pi inouih Demo erat concluded t'nt Mr. Stoll had directed his editorial .is a personal thrust at him. To smooth things up Editor Stoll says in a following issue: ''D.miei McDonald ha-, done a vast amount of writing t hat in years to come will be regarded, and treasured, as historical information of great value' If Editor McDonald can react the above quotation without seeing the sarrasm, ht will doubtless feel comfortable and satisfied, as he nek now led q es himself to be a trump c ird when it cotnes to ancient history. No doubt Editor McDonald will see sufficient cause in this editorial to turn his titry blasts upon the democratic representative of Marshall county and ch irge him with being a "gokl bug." Spare us, "My Dear Gaston," I implore thee. Keep on thy suspenders.

Tili: "TIM KV Is IN KUKOK. The Plymouth Independent has fallen into wh.it may be called the unfortunate habit of construing some of the editorial utterances ot the Times as being aimed at the Plymouth Democrat. In the several instances to winch refer nee is here made the Independent indulged in little ruses that are not in comfornuty with strict newspaper ethics. The Times lias no desire to be drawn into the newspaper controversies that have been and are still -on" at Plymouth. Its relations with the Plymouth papers have been pleasant, ami it is the earnest desire of the Times that these relations be thus continued. The structures time were made in these columns a hort time since on "SwashbuckW s, Xot Ediors," were not applicable to nor intended for any paper printed in Marshall county. Daniel McDonald is a pretty independent sort of a knight himself, and he is no' in the habit of denying to others privileges that he claims for himself. It is to be hoped that thtse observations will be correctly understood and properly interpreted by all concerned. Meanwhile, men and breathren, let it be remembered that there is great merit and virtue in the immortal words of Ulysses S. Grant, "Let us have peace," South Uend Times. The 'I imes is quite wrong when

it states tlvit the Indeoendent haconstrued i's editorial utterances abeing aimed at the Ph mouth Democrat. It has sa:d nothing of the kind. The Independent republished the Times' editorial on "swashbucklers, Not Edit is" and added that it was a severe crHeism of a Democratic publisher not a thousand mi es from mouth. The Independent felt that it wasutllciYn ly indtfimte in its application of the Times' editorial. Ilcert.iirdy was as indefinite was the original editorial. It is no fault of the Independent that the Plymouth Democrat concluded that the shoe tit it. After the Democrat served notice that it interpreted the references to apply to it, the Independent simply stated the conclusions of the Di mocrat and complimented the Times upon its shrewdness in the at! of pacifying. The Independent has made no application of the Times editorial except in general terms. If the Plymouth Democrat feels that the thrust was made at it, the matter can be of no concern to the Independent. The Independent lias enough troubles of its own without borrowing the troubles of others. The Independent does not believe for an instant that the editor of the Times intended his editorial to apply to the editor of the Plymouth Democrat yet it cm readily see that the editor of the Democrat might easily draw the conclusion that it was a thrust at him, in view of the fact that he has been using his paper in efforts to kick democrats out ot the party, who refuse to accord to him the importance in politics that iie attributes to himself.

It K VAN IIISCISSKS ItriiltlN. In last week's issue of the Commoner, William J. Bryan comments on the refusal of Governor Durbin to surrender o justice the alleged chief of the republican conspirators, who assassinated Gov. Goebel, of Kentucky. He says: "McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist whose act had no political significance and could not be traced to anything said or done by any member of the opposite party, and yet republican papers were quick to try to make political capital out of the terrible deed, and some of them boldly charged the

The ennn which he expiated was the murder of Nora Kifer, a member of hiB Sunday-school class, with whom he had berome intimate. Keith spent his lest night on earth in prayer, and his lat words wer- "Hear the wnver. What a üoise tney nnke. They are sieving my requiem, but let it onie."
