PAGE FOUR CAN'T GET AWAY FROM ITS NAME Tli little expose of the methods of the Morning Yellow made yester day In this paper stung the <1 i 1 le ts* 111 «> editor of that sheet in a most tender spot. The young man hits been very anx ious that the nam . the Morning Yel low. which has fitted that publication should be dropped by its contempor aries. and The Sentinel felt like it would h' glad to accommodate Mr. nickel in his desire. But. when de liberate falsehoods are given publi cation to give coloring to a fake? story. The Sentinel proposes that the public shall know it. It matters little* to The Sentinel whether Judge Hilton was the in formant in this case or some other individual. The word of Adams and the under sherifT, George Toupain, and Gen. Bulkeley Wells. Is just as good to us as the statement that Judge Hilton was the author of the* story. It was untrue*, and the fake* write! knew it was untrue when he gave it publication. The* other matter of the circula tion. which Mr. Bickel rings in. has nothing to do with the case. He is no d iff ere t from the* dozen or more of his pred; < essors. who have endeav ored to make that paper a success. He* can fabricate all he* pleases about Increased circulation. The same little subterfuge* has been resorted to be fore: but it won’t work, as the best Judge-; of a paper and its circulation are the people and the advertisers, and T'e* Sentinel always has had the circulation and carries this minute twice* the advertising of the other sheet. Mr. Bickel need not worry at all about the estimate of the* public regarding his newspaper. The pub lic will do that more* effectually than he can possibly elo It liimselr. If lie* dos'res to make the morn ing publication have? some character to it, lie* wants te> begin at once to eschew the publication of fakes and misstatements. The same plea that lie* is making right now was made time and time again by bis predeces sor. who thought lie was fooling the public all the* time, while be was the on who was being fooled by the pub lic. \V«* are willing that he shall en deavor to cover up the* glaring fake published regarding Adams and Gen. Bulked, y Wells, but lie* takes the wrong road to elo so by attempting to fool the public into believing lie* ever In n single Instance lias scooped The Sentinel, as the public well knows. SMITH SEES TAFT WIN Oeorgo Smith, the* we II known or ehardlst and promoter of Orchard mesa, arrived home yesterday from Chicago, where* he attended the* great republican national convention. Mr. Smith was in attendance* at almost every session of the big con vention and heard a number of the speeches, especially the* one* that placed William H. Taft in nomina tion for the presidency. While .In Chicago Mr. Smith met Mr. Magenlieiiuer of the* Woodland Company, who have purchased the bonds of the Orchard Mesa district for the* e*rectlon of the big irrigation entcrprls'* on Orchard mesa. Mr. Magenbelmer stated to Mr. Smith that the* work on that great scheme* would begin very shortly and would he prosecuted as fast ns men and mone y could forward the work. Mr. Smith was unable* to state def initoly just how soon the work will begin, but lie* thought very shortly not Inter than the niiddic of July, lie* \\ ;*s very much pleased with his trip, s,* far as business and pleasure were* oucernt el. and fe*e*ls much ben efit! »»d thereby.

Baum, the* well known in ventor of this city, has just finishes something small, new and entirely unique, in the way of a door check key. The key is made to fit between two doors, or between a door and and a door jamb, and it effectually locks such door so that the door would have to be torn apart before it could be opened, or the lock broken to se cure an entrance.
