The circus was fairly good, some of the acts being especially fine and were ap preciated by the larire audience. A certain writer haB said that no newspaper which took truth for its standard would make a pecuniary suc cesss. The press might return the compliment by remarking that no minister who told the truth about his congregation, alive or dead, would oc cupy the pulpit much longer than one Sunday afterward. The press and clergy go band In hand with the whitewash brush, rosy spectacles mag nifying little virtues and kindly throwing little deformities into obliv ion. The pulpit, the pen and the gravestone are partners in saint making. The Emmet base ball team came down last Sunday and met the High School teamion the local diamond that afternoon and succeeded in trimming them with a score of 6 to 2. Thelhigh school boys, that is a majority of them, played as if they were attending a funeral Instead of partaking in the national game and as a result suffer ed defeat. Will Martin pitched [ the high school boys and pitched for a good clever game and with the right kind of support would have been re turned victor. O’Donnell was on.the mound for Emmet and while touched up rather freely kept them well scat tered when hits meant runs. A fairly good-sized crowd was present and seemed to enjoy the contest.

I am i awars that they are dropping out of the ranks by twos, fours and scores because they do not like the almost criminal conduct of the head officers of the society in arbitrarily raising the rates beyond the limit of fairness. My i advice is: Don’t be in a hurry. The : new rates do not go Into effect until next January. Perhaps before that date the lighting Insurgents may sue- I Deed in bringing the bead officers to terms. Perhaps they will give us a vote as to whether the new rates are right or wrong. Don’t drop out now. < Stay until after January. And even then hold on a while longer, if you can, so as to be able to fight the arrog ant head officers. If all us fighters drop out, then there will be nobody to fight the head officers. Stay with ’em, boys If we shall fail to whip the gang by the firstof nextlJanuary, then let’s prepare to whip them at the next head camp. Remember, boys, that you will not have a fighting vote if you drop your membership in the fra ternity. Wednesday evening T. Y. Golden let the contract for the erection of the new hotel to the Crosby Company of Kansas City and they agree to have the building completed and ready for occupancy by September 1st. The ex ecutive committee of the Commercial Club approved the plans for the build ing, as provided for in the agreement with Mr. Golden and the citizens who donated to the bonus fund, and there after the contract for the erection of the building was signed by Mr. Gold en and the representative of the building company. The building will i be a much larger and better building than that first contemplated. It will be three stories and basement and will contain forty, nine sleeping rooms, besides parlor, lobby, bath, toilet, and other rooms necessary in a |modern first class hotel. It will be built of brick and steel and will be of fire proof construction throughout. The architect says that with the except ion of an elevator it will be as modern aud up-to-date as any hotel in any of the large cities. It will cost complete, exclusive of furnishings, 825,000.00. Work on the building will commence next Monday morning. Last Tuesday evening about 5:30 Mr. McLaughlin, brakaman on the Northwestern railroad who was brak ing on the circus train, was held up and robbed by three employees of the circus, at the circus grounds The robbery was witnessed by a score of persons but took place so quickly that they were unable to go to Mo McLaughlin’s atd until the assault was over. Spectators say that the little brakeman was giving a good ac count in the fight against his three assailants until they landed a blow that put him to sleep, when they went through his pockets, taking 114.00 and a diamond ring. After the robbery he came up town and notified Mayor Blglin who called Sheriff Grady who went to the circus grounds ac companied by Marshal Coyne and they located and placed under arreat two of McLaughlin’s assailants who were identified by him and they ad mitted that they had been In the fight. The officers were unable to find any of the plunder upon them howev er. The two men arrested were plac ed in the county jail where they are now confined. County Attorney Wbelen was then called Into the case in an effort to recover from the circus management the value of the proper ty stolen from McLaughlin. The man agement denied all knowledge of the whereabouts of the missing man and disclaimed liablality upon their part for the assault and robbery but the county attorney informed them that if they did not pay the value of the property stolen he would attach six of their white horses and hold them for the value of the property and the costs of the case. The management then de cided that they had better come across and they paid Mr. Whelen 944.86, the value of the property stolen from Mc Laughlin. Prior to the show three men who were suspected of being crooks were arrested and thrown into jail. They were released the next day and ordered to make themselves scarce. Crooks are beginning to learn that O’Neill is not a very healthy place to attempt to ply their trade. The Editor. Most anyone can be an editor. All the editor has to do is to sit at a desk six days out of the week, four weeks of the month, and twelve months of the year, and "edit” such stuff as this: “Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek let a can opener slip last week and cut her self in the pantry.” “A mischievous lad of Plketown threw a stone and struck Mr. Pike in the alley last Tuesday.” “John Doe climbed on the roof of his house last week looking for a leak and fell striking himself on the back porch.” "While Harold Green was escorting Miss Violet Wise from the church social last Saturday night a savage dog attacked them and bit Mr. Green several times on the public square.” “Isaiah Trimmer of Running Creek was playing with a cat Friday when it scratched him on the veranda.” “Mr. Fong, while har nessing a broncho last Saturday was kicked just south of bia corn crib”
