AT the Paper Co office of yr /7 T h e r e is a difference in the legal status of tramps and vagrants. The tramp is defined as an individual with no visible home and no means of support, roaming about the country, while the vagrant is a resident of the county, possessing all the features of a tramp. The distinction is made for the purpose of locating the responsibility of their support. The state must support tramps, while the county has to look after its vagrants.— Ex.

T h r o u g h all the varying fashions of women as to dress, they are never satis fied unless they have an unnatural hump on them somewhere. There was the bustle, then the mutton-legged sleeve, which was followed by the removal of the bump to the cuff. Now the fad is to wear a shirt waist that looks as if a peck of apples had been dumped into it in front or something had fallen down. Fashion is the greatest despot on earth, and very few have sufficient courage to resist its decrees however unhealthful, unsightly, and filthy they may be.

O n Thursday afternoon at four o’clock occurred the marriage of Miss Ida Louise Van Gelder and Lewis Ward Clark, at the home of the bride, No. 57 Elm street, in this village. The ceremony was per formed by the Rev. David Henry Palmer, pastor o f the First Presbyterian church, in the presence of only intimate friends and relatives of the contracting parties. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Eu gene Van Gelder. The bride’s costume was a becoming traveling suit of blue. Immediately after the ceremony a bounti* ful welding supper was served, after which the bride and groom departed on the northbound Northern Central train at 6: 50, for a short western trip. Mr. and Mrs. Clark will be “ at home” on and af ter February 25th, at No. 57 Elm steet, in this village. A n exchange pertinently asks the fol lowing questions: “ Who sympathized with you when your little girl was sick? Was it your home merchant, or was it Sears, Roebuck & Co ? Who carried you last winter when you were out of a job and had no money? Was it Montgom ery, Ward & C o .,o r was it your home merchant? When you want to raise money for the church or some needy per son in town do you write to the “ F a ir” store in Chicago, or do you go to your home merchant? How much does Sie gel, Cooper & Co. give toward keeping up the sidewalks of the towu or paying the minister’s salary ? When you were sick how many nights did Hibbard, Spen cer & Bartlett sit up with you? When your loved one was buried, was it Mar shall Field & Co. who dropped the tear of sympathy and uttered the cheering word, or was1 it your home merchant? IT is difficult for farmers as well as others to get out of ruts. They are in clined to think that the old fashioned way, the way of their fathers, is the best way. It may have been the best once. Possibly it is the best now, in some re spects. But times and circumstances change all things, and the wise man is governed by this fact. Wheat raising used to be profitable in Yates County. It is not so now, for reasons too well known to be mentioned. But many farmers cling to the raising of that cereal almost exclusively, instead of diversifying their crops so as to meet contingencies. Con verts to progressive and scientific farm ing are increasing, however. Recently a Benton farmer, who had long prided him self on account of his fine wheat crops, stated to us that last spring he was In duced to plant a bushel of beans. From the crop raised he sold $87 worth and re served three bushels for seed. From his wheat he realized nothing. Next year his wheat acreage is likely to be lees and his bean acreage more. AT the annual meeting of the stock holders of Baldwin’s Bank, held yesterday atternoon, the following directors were chosen : 0 . G. Shearman, H. C. Mapee, F. M. Collin, C. A. Baldwin, M. L.

IT is reported that last Saturday night a number of students of Hobart College, Geneva, attended an entertainment at the opera house in that city, where they misbehaved so badly that the police were called and they were ejected from the building. Outside they were reinforced by more students and their sympathizers and continued to disgrace themselves as college students usually do under such circumstances. Finally one of the ring leaders was arrested and sent to the lock up. He was followed by a crowd of his pals, who charged the police station, but were easily repulsed by a single officer. It now remains for the guilty parties to be disciplined by the courts as ordinary low-down hoodlums would be under sim ilar circumstances. There are two class es of people in this country who need to I be taught on every available occasion, and in the moat forcible manner, that the law affords them no especial immunity from punishment when they commit criminal offenaea. They are college stu dents and labor unionists. T h e students of the high school in Rome, N. Y., are in revolt against the autocratic government o f their principal. They have demanded an apology from him for his treatment pL one of the pu pils, and, on his refusal to apologize, have decided to strike. In the old-fash ioned district schools sometimes such troubles were settled in a more summary manner by the big boys picking up the teacher and throwing him into the high way.— Ex. Oftener In old-fashioned district schools teachers compose such troubles by giving the ringleaders a sound thrashing, the memory of which runs down through the corridors of time with the most whole some effect. Certainly that used to be the way such troubles were settled years ago. It was not left then to the judg ment of pupils whether school govern ment was autocratic or not. They were obliged to obey orders or suffer the con sequences, and the discipline was upheld by parents. MR. B. F. Fenner has opened the store formerly occupied by T. S. Burns, with a full stock of New Fresh Groceries , where his grocery and bean business will be transacted. 7 2 The Association have made a reduction in the price of the course tickets.

At Bennett’s Drug Store, near P, O. The January term of this court con vened on Monday last, County Judge John T. Knox presiding. For the first time in several years there were no cases on the civil calendar. There are a num ber of cases on the criminal calendar. In the case of The People vs. Luke O’Malley, who was under indictment for an alleged violation of the excise law, the District Attorney moved for a nolle prosequi in the case, as he had no wit nesses. The motion was granted. On Monday afternoon the case of The People vs. Robert Todd was moved. Todd was indicted by the December grand jury for rape, second degree, the alleged crime having been committed in December, of 1900. The indictment charged him with having criminal relations with a white girl under the age of sixteen years. Af ter the indictments had been found against him he was brought before the December Supreme Court to plead and he pleaded not guilty. Monday, when brought into court, through his attorney, Thomas Carmody, he withdrew his plea of not guilty, and pleaded guilty to the charge as found in one of the indict ments. The second indictment was not pressed, and it will probably be dropped. Todd gave his age as 56 years, when asked by the court. Sentence was de ferred until Friday morning. Yesterday the case of The People vs. Peter J. Andrews, proprietor of the Ackley hotel on lower Main Street, was taken up. Andrus is under indictment for al leged violation of the Raiues law. M r . B.

The to tal receipts for the year ending the same date were $15*373.69.

The increase of business on account of the deliveries has been about offset by the decrease in the receipts from box rents, while the total expenses of the deliveries must have decreased the net receipts of the P. O. Department about fifty per cent. hectare . Holders of a season ticket for the Keu ka College course will hear a superior lecture Thursday evening, Jan. 16. Hon. Henry Houck, of Harrisburg, Pa., will deliver his popular lecture, “ Bound to Win.” Mr. Houck is well known as an educator, having been sent by the gov ernment some time ago to inspect the schools of Porto Rico, and is so popular a lecturer in Pennsylvania that it was not easy to secure him for this course.
