PARTISAN PAPERS TO BLAME Thinking men who go tn the root ot things to find causes for certain c editions will be glad when the day of the short- gh’.ed, partisan, o political paper is ended. They a e greatly responsible for slumps in business. To prove this one n ed go no further than our own c anty political papers. One of t ese organs would have you beli ve that business conditions are fi other tries to make beli ve that there is a general depress n that is growing worse. Neither it telling the facts. Business, acc rding to the best authorities, is it covering nicely and after the first 0 the year prospects loom bright. I should be the mission of every 1 wspaper to give facts—not twisted u d distorted half-truths that hart t Ings generally. A Compliment F (tor Syracuse Journal I ar Sir; 1. have heard it said that a newsp >er’s excellence is more often 1 asured by what it does not print t n what it does print.

VERDICT WON BY MBS. CLARA GRAY Jury Was Out Only About An Hour—Given Judgment Jsrsl7s returned a verdic : Thursday at Warsaw in the trial o< Clara E Gray against William E. Tom in favor of the plaintiff. Mrs. Gray was given judgment for $175. The jury was discharged and retired to the jury room about 1:30. The verdict, was returned about an hour later. The defendant was charged with shooting two cows belonging to Mrs. Gray, injuring them to such an extent that they were practically useless.
