THE CORONER'S DUTY.
There seems to be a great deal of
misapprehension as to exactly -what
the duties of the coroner are and
when the law requires him to act.
It appears that. In the recent ex
plosion at the United States Cart
ridge Works, the coroner was not
notified by the attending physician
because the latter claims he reached
the side of the victim before she
died. The fact that she passed away
within a half hour after the explos
ion occurred did not, in the opinion
of the physician, warrant him to
notify the coroner. It is plain,
however, that this was gross negli
gence.
The law covering this matter, as
far as the coroner is concerned,
reads as follows):
That it shall be the duty of every
coroner (or justice of the peace, in
the absence of a coroner), on being
informed of the violent, sudden or
casual death of any person within
lxis county, immediately to proceed
aad view the body, and make all
proper inquiry respecting the cause
and manner of the death; aad If,
from bis eh inquiry, the said coroner
or Justice shall bo satisfied that no
person or persons has or have been
guilty of causing or procuring the
said death, and that there are no
su&picloua circumstances attending
the same, he shall, without further
proceedings therein, deliver the body
to the friends thereof (If any there
t)e) for interment; but in case there
are no friends who will take charge
of, and bury it, and if the deceased
shall not have* left property suffici
ent to pay the expenses of the bur
ial, then it shall be the duty of the
said coroner or justice to bury the
name." |j| / ,
Death in this Instance was surely
Ijoth violent and sudden, even tf the
t/ls;. i-i did arrive before the girl
away. Wry often Ealiary to
notify tb« coroner pfompUy results
in * miscarriage of Juitlc*.
The office of coroner is one of the
most important In the county. He
ranks next to the sheriff, but be
cause the position hag been largely
ignored in this vicinity the notion
of the coroner's duty has been great
ly under-estimated The coroner
has great, power conferred upon him
in such accidents as here reported.
He can, if he chooses, summon a
Jury and hold an inquest as the cor
oner in Mercer county has done in
connection with the recent automo
bile accident when five perstms were
drowned.
In the present instanete the prose
cutor has taken up the matter and
has decided to bring the case before
the grand Jury. It was^ within the
powers of the coroner to tftfcS this
matter in his won hands and sift
it to the bottom.
WATTERSON'S OONTI«MAHO\.
The latest effusion by Col. Henry
Watterson intended to further In
jure the chances of Governor Wood
row Wilson In securing the nomina
tion for president, does not in the
least lessen the favorable popular
opinion of the New Jersey executive
that is rapidly spreading through
out the country. Watterson only
confirms what has already been in
timated, that the cause of the break
between Harvey and Wilson was the
fact that an effort was being made
to have Thomas F. Ryan finance the
campaign of the governor. Watter
son declares that he was requested
by Governor Wilson to do what he
could to raise a campaign fund.
The governor denies this. But sup
pose It were true, we all know that
it Is necessary to have money to run
campaigns and as the governor
thought Col. Watterson was a friend
and also an influential member of
the Democratic party, he could suc
ceed where others might fail. ft
was only when .Watterson began to
solicit aid from such Wall street
financiers as Ryan, that the govern
or drew the line. He was right in
doing so.
We all know that In the present
' state of mind, the country will not
stand for campaign contributions
from such men as Ryan, and the
corporations that be represents.
Watterson should have known Jhls
money from such * person.
Watterson, In his statement, at
tempt# to vindicate Harvey from
blame In the matter. Harvey's con
nection, however, is very plain to
be seen. The three men were to
gether when the break occurred and
!t!« siers than likely that -hca Wil
son turned down the Ryan assist*
ance, Harvey, who Is very close to
such men asked his now famous
question whether or not his support
was detrimental to the Wilson in
terests. This was followed by th®
frank reply that it was.
There Is no doubt that Watterson
and the other reactionaries of his
stamp are exerting every effort to
embarrass Wilson, but the mote
they try, the more solid they are
piaklng the governor with the peo
ple.
UPHOLD THE DOG CATCHER.
We aTe told that the dog catcher
Is getting discouraged. Hardly a
day passes that he Is not set upon
oy some of our citizens Ihecause he
Is faithfully performing his duties
In ridding the city of stray canines.
It is time strenuous action was tak
en against these defiant people.
They should be made to understand
that the law is made for them' as
well as anyone else and that dogs
are prohibited from running ~at
large on the streets.
There is still a great deal of work
for the dog cateher in this city as is
evident every day from the number
of dogs met which do not wear muz
zles and which apparently are not
In the company of any one. if is,
therefore, desirable that the dog
catcher he jdv«n evory
ment possible to keep up the work
he is doing, in order that the city
may be made a safe place for the
people to live* in.
Nearly every day we read of "new
cases where rabid dogs have attack
ed people and, in some inst&nces,
rabies have developed New York
is just gettlug over her latest scare
and a day or eo age several persons
were bitten by a dog In Newark.
-Perth Amboy has had her experience
in this regard and we do not care to
have it repeated. If justice cannot
be obtained any other way, a police
man should accompany the dog
catcher in order to afford the prop
er protection. Do?a must be kept
off the streets of Perth Amboy.

(Continued.)
The other* pointed out to Armstrong
that If the woman they all loved had
by any fortunate chance escaped the j
cloudburst, she must Inevitably have
perished from cold, starvation and ex
posure In the mountain Ions since.
There was scarcely a possibility that
she could have escaped the flood, but
it she had, It would only to be de
voted to death a little later. If she
ww not In the lake, what remained of
her would be in some lateral canon.
It would be impossible to discover
her body in the deep snows until tbe j
spring and the warm weather came.
When the snows melted what was con
cealed would be revealed. Alone, she j
could do nothing. And admitting again
that Enid was alone, this conclusion
was as Bound as the other.
Now no one had the faintest hope
that Enid Maitland was yet alive, ex
cept, perhaps, her father, Mr. Stephen
Maitland. They could not convince
him, he was so old and set in his opin
ions and so utterly unfamiliar with the
conditions that they tried to describe
to him, that he clung to his belief in
spite of all, and finally they let him
take such comfort as be could from
his vain hope without any further at
tempt at contradiction.
In spite of all the arguments, how
ever, Mr. James Armstrong was not
satisfied. He was a*-hopeless as the
rest, but his temperament would not
permit him to accept the inevitable
calmly. It was bafrely Josslble that
she might not be dead, and that she
might not be alone, _Tfefre scarce
up enough possibility of this to Justify
a suspicion, but that* is not saying
there was none at all.
Day after day he had sat in his of
fice denying himself to everyone and
refusing to consider anything,--brood
ing over the situation. He loved Enid
Maitland, he loved her before, and now '
that he had lost her, h« loved her still j
more.
Not altogether admirable had been
James Armstrong's outwardly success
ful career. In much that is fiigh apd
noble and manly his actions—and his
character—had often been lacking, but
-even the base can love, and sometimes
love transforms, if it be given " a
chance. The passiga fflftSyinon for Iph
igenia, mad a a man and prince out of
reat-ifiboor, and his real love for
Enid Maitland might have done more
for Armstrong than he himself or any
one who knew him aa he was, and
few there were who had such
knowledge of him, dreamed was
possible. There was one thing that
love could not do, however; it
could not make him a patient phil
osopher, a good waiter. His rule of
me was not very high, but in one way !
it was admirable, in that prompt, bold
desire action was his chiefest charac
teristic.
BATIK]
PKUTU AMBOV TKCJ8T OCX
un uus certain morning a mocin
after the heart-breaking disaster, h!»
power of passive endurance had been
■trained to the vanishing point. The
great white range was flung in his face j
like a challenge. Within its secret re
cesses lay the solution of the mystery.
Somewhere, dead or alive, bsyond the
■soaring rampart wag the woman he
loved. It was Impossible for him to
remain quiet any longer. Common
sense, reason, every argument that
had been adduced, suddenly became of
no weight. He lifted his head and
stared straight westward, his eyes
swept the long semicircle of horizon
luii-oe* which the mighty range was
drawn like the chord of gigantic arc
or the string of a mighty bow. Each
white peak mocked him, the insolent
aggression of the range called him ir
resistibly to action.
"By Heaven," he said un£ar his
breath, rising to his feet, "winter or
no winter, I go."
Robert Maitland had offices in the
same building. Having once como to a
determination, there was no more un
certainty or hesitation about Arm
strong's course. In another moment
b« was standing ia the private room of
his friend. The two men were not
alone there, Stephen. Maitland sat in
a Sow chair before another window
removed from the desk somewhat.

"It is Madness," Urged Robert Malt
land.
■taring out at the range. The old
man was huddled down in his seat,
every line of his figure spoke of grief
and despair. Of all the places In Den
ver, he Hked best his brother's office
fronting the rampart of the moun
tains, and hour after hour he sat there
quietly looking at the summits, some
times softly shrouded in white, some
times swept bare by the fierce winter
gale# that blew across them, some
times shining and sparkling so that
the eye scarce sustain their reflection
of the dazzling sun of Colorado; and
at other times seen dimly through
mists of whirling snow.
Oh, yes, the mountains challenged
him also to the other side of the
range. His heart yearned for his
child, but he was too old to make
the attempt. Ha could only sit and
pray and wait with such faint and fad
ing hope as h« could still cherish un
til the break up of the spring came.
For the rest he troubled nobody; no
body noticed him, nobody marked him,
nobody minded him. Robert Maltland
transacted his business a little more
softly, a little more gently, that was
all. Yet the presence of his brother
was a living grief and a living re
proach to him. Although he was quite
blameless he blamed himself. He had
not known ho-y he had grown to love
his niece until he had lost her. His
conscience accused him hourly, and
yet h« knew not where he was at
fault or how he could have done dif
ferently. It was a helpless and hope
less situation. To him, therefore, en
tered Armstrong.
"Maitland," he began, "I can't stand
it any longer. I'm going into the moun
tains."
rou are maa:'
"I can't help It. I can't sit here
and face them, damn them, and re
main quiet."
>n"Tou will never eome out alive."
"Oh, ye», I will; but IX I don't, I
■wear to Ood I don't care."
Old Stephen Maitland rose unstead
ily to hi# feet and gripped the back of
hie chair,
"Did I hear aright, *lrT" lie asked,
wiUi ail the polished and graceful cour
tesy of birth and breeding which never
deserted htm in any emergency what
soever. "Do you say—" f
'1 said 1 was going Into the moun
tains to search for her."
"It Is madness," urged Robert Malt
land.
But the old man did not hear htm
"Thank God!" he exclaimed with
deep feeling. "I have sat here day aft
er day and watched those mighty hills,
and I have said to myself that If I
had youth and strength as I have love,
I would not wait,"
"You are right," returned Arm
strong, equally moved, and indeed it
would have been hard to have heard
and seen that father unresponslvely;
"and I am not going to wait, either."
"I understand your feelings, Jim,
and yours, too, Steve," began Robert
Maitland, arguing against his own etno
tlor«, "even if she escaped the flood,
■he must be dead by this time."
"You needn't go over the old argu
ment, Bob. I'm going into the moun
tains, and I'm going now. No," he
continued swiftly, as the other opened
Ms mouth U» Inteipoee iurtner objec
tions, "you needn't say another word.
I'm a free agent, and I'm old enough
to decide what I can do. There is no
argument, there Is no force, there Is
ho appeal, there is nothing that will
restrain me, I can't alt here and eat
my heart out when she may be there."
"But it'« impossible!"
"It is impossible. How do I know
that there may not have been some
body in the mountains; she may have
wandered to some settlement, some
hunter's cabin, some prospector's hut."
"But we were there for weeks and
saw nothing, no evidence of human
ity."
"I don't care. The mountains are
filled with secret nooks you could pass
by wilhin a stone's throw, and never
see into; she may be In one of them.
I suppose she is dead, and it's all fool
ish, this hope; but I'll never believe it
until I have examined every square
rod -within & radius of 60 miles from
your camp. I'll take the long chance,
the longest, even."
"Well, that's all right," said Rob
ert Mattland. "Of course, I intend to
do that at soon as the spring opens;
but what's the use of trying to do it
now?*"
"It's use to me. M either go mad
here in Denver, or I must go to seek
for her tlfere."
"But you will never come back if
you once get in those-mountains alone."
"I don't -care whether I do or not.
It's no use, old man, I am going, and
that's all there ia about it"
Robert Maitland knew men. He rae
ognxzed finality when he heard it, or
when he saw it, and it was quite evi
dent that he was in the presence of It
| then. It was no use to say moire.
"Very well," he said. "I honor you
| for your feeling, even If I don't think
much of your common sense."
"Damn common sense,"* cried Arm
strong, triumphantly. IfB love that
»otm me scw."

nick of time," «t once began Robert
Maltland.
"Alius glad to be J?hnny-on-tb«
spot," smiled the older mas.
"Armstrong here," continued the
other, intent upon his purpose, "says
he can't wait until the spring and the
snow melt, he is going into the moun
tains now to look for Enid."
Kirkby didn't love Armstrong. He
didn't care for him a little bit, but
there was something in the bold hardi
hood of the man,Something in the way
J.041. .—IJLJi •'
which ho m«t the reckless challenge .»
the mountains that the eld man ae#
ail the others felt that moved the la
mest aonl of the hardy frontiersman.
He threw an approving dance at him.
'1 tell him that It la absurd, Impost!*
ble, that he risks his life for noth
ing,' and I want you to tell him the
same thing. You know more about
the mountains than either of us."
"Mr. KIrkby," quavered Stephen Malfc
land, "allow me. I dont want to In
fluence you against your better judg
ment, but if you could sit here as I
have done, and think that maybe she
Ja there, and perhaps alive still, and
in need, you would not say a wor# t«
deter him."
"Why, Steve," expostulated Robert
Maitland, "surely you know I would
risk anything for Enid. 8omehow, it
seems as If I were being put In th#
selfish position by my opposition."

A REVERSIBLE
OPINION.
Hod Rinks has said
down to the
store,
And he has said It
o'er and o'er.
In his profound
and all-wise way
He said it Just the
other dtly,
4.nd said It with a
It beln' his most fay'rtte theme—
He don't want wlmmen fer to vote.
'Twould be a dickens ot a note
If wlmmen ever should get bold
And let the vittles all git cold
By hangia' 'round the polls for hours
An' tryin' to upset the powers
That be in this here mighty land
He wants us all to understand
He's dead agin' it from the start.
No ekel suffrage fer his part.
His better half will never mix
Up in no gol-dum politics;
He'll see to that for he's the boss.
He says the subject makes him cross.
Them la his sentiments by gum,
The wlmmen folks Bhould stay at
hum.
That's what he said down to the
store;
He'd said It many times before.
His style of argyment Is such
We think it doth protest too much
Fer some of us who have been 'round
Within an easy sight and sound
Of Hod Binks' house when trouble's
rife
Know purty well about his wife.
Hod lets off all his steam to us.
But 'round the home he don't make
no fuss.
Tbu'd think, to hear him talk to heir,
That he was simply llvln' fer
To see her vote fer president.
And that he eoutd then die content.
He's fer it and he's fer it strong;
He's told her that much right along.
He's mighty liberal with the salve
And tells her that she ought to have
The rights men have had in the past.
You see. Hod really doesn't dast
Say nothin' that don't please her
whim.
Most all the fellers are like him.
AN ESSAY ON KISSINQ.
It Is not known Just what ardent
swain is was who imprinted the first
chaste salute upon the lips of his
lady fair. Perhaps It was Adam who
invested the kiss. It sounds lust
like him, but whoever Invented It
certainly started something that has
come down through the ages and
caused more trouble than mumps,
measles and prickly heat combined.
Take the case of that man In St.
Joe, Mo., which Is no woccupylng
much valuable advertising space In
the newspapers. He kissed a woman
once and, finding that the going was
good, kissed her six times more,
right in the same place. Hethought
lot of steam,
that the matter would end there. He
shared the popular fallacy that a
kiss Is nothing at all, be' he was
mistaken. Now the young woman'
has sued hi min the courts for
?20,000 damages. There may be
some who may believe It Is not worth
120,000 t» kiss a Missouri woman
seven times, but the value of the sa
lute Is placed by the kissee and not
by the kisser. She claims that her
kisses are worth $32,267.14 each and
the court is to find out. How the
court is going to find out is nobody'*
business.
In these dake of frenzied finance
and universal ambition to own auto
mobiles it behooves the young ma,n
of modest circumstances to be very
careful where, when and how he be
stows his chaste salutes. It is per
fectly safe for a young man to kisg
the feminine members of his own
family or the lady whom he Intends
to endow with a meal ticket for life,
but it is not wise to pass his kisses
around Indiscriminately. Women
are developing commercial instincts
and it begins to look as though the
greatest of indoor sports ia to be
come unpopular. The decision of the
Missouri court will be a,waited with
Interest. -
FROM THE HICKEYVILLE
CLARION.
Rev. Hanks says he has had a putty
good month during November and
has had many weddings that he
hasn't been able to attend to bis
lathing and plastering business, but
if those having any of this to be done
will be patient, he will ge around
to It In time.
William Hllliker, our popular gro
ceryman, also lime and land plaster,
Is thinking of-making sqme improve
ments about bis store on Alain street.
Among other things he will give the
codfish that has stood In front of the
store so many years a new coat of
white paint.
Miss v Pansy Tlbbits, our charming
musical teacher of voice, gave a pu
pil's recital at the opry house last
Wednesday evening and -there were
so many numbers on the program and
the parents applauded so much that
the program lasted until 4 o'clock
next morning. Uncle Ezra Purdy
says he ain't heard so much bollerln*
in this town since Cleveland was
elected the fust time.
There Is a splendid vaudeville
program at the Elite moving pitcher
theatre this -week, including The
nion Brothers In futa nt
Miss Birdie Jones with musical glass
and aluminum chimes. Prof. Dexter,
mesmerist, magician and taxdermist
and the Passe Sisters, eccentric
dancers and paper tearing. Space
forbids an extended criticism this
week, but suffice to say it Is one of
the best oprys that has been her®
since "East Lynne."
