300KS BEST OF ALL FRIENDS soetically Expressed Tribute That i Wilt Find Echo in the Hearts of Lovers of Reading. i have friends whose society is ex-remely agreeabbe to me; they are of jill ages and ofevery country. They lave distinguished themselves; both in he cabinet and in the field, and ob-ained high honors for their knowledge of the sciences. It is to access to them, for the are always at my service, and I admit in my company and dismiss from it, whenever I please. They lire never troublesome but Immediately answer every question I ask them.

Some relate to me the events pf past ages, while others reveal to pie the secrets of nature. Some teach me how to live. Some, by their vivacity, drive away my cares and exhilarate my spirits; while others give fortitude to my mind, and teach me the important lesson how to restrain my desires. They open to me, in short, the various avenues of all the arts and sciences and upon their information I may safely rely in all emergencies. In return for all their services they only ask me to accommodate them with a convenient chamber in some corner of my humble habitation, where they may repose in peace, for these friends are more delighted by the tranquillity of retirement than with the tumults of society.

By paroling from the Jeffersonville 'Reformatory Thomas' Stineburg, of i.ljoiUlngtpu, the young degenerate xv ho attempted to criminally assault young girl student of the State University, Governor Ralston, in i effect, coudones such assaults against womankind and against, the majesty of the law.

Many have been the excuses maile since the parole in an jeffort to rcitase tha -Governor of his share of th responsibility for turning loose hound who should have been rather than committed i to prison. may be argued that because I dd not at the time accomlish his hellish design he- should have escaped such extreme punishment was. proven and.it was only by Bheer good luck that his helpless victim his lust, and now by an act of the Governor, he is again turned loose in a community In which an unusually large number of more or less unprotected young are located the greater part of each year Bloomington, the home of the State University. Parents will doubtless hesitate to send their daughters into a community where such brutes as Stineburg are tolerated and permitted to run at large. The Bloomington Journal, commenting on the fact that excuses', are being made for the Governorhas the following to say: "The Journal Is hearing all sorts of adverse comments in Bloomington on account of Governor Ralston jparoling Thomas Stineburg, of this clif, from the Jeffersonville Reformatory There are also many- misstatements- about the case-and just what was done.

One of these is that Judge Wilson signed the petition asking the Governor to parole Stineburg. "When seen about it today. Judge Wilson d.enied that he had ever signed a petition for parole." The only-thing Judge Wilson did in the case was to write a mere statement of the -facts. about tho sentence imposed upon Stineburg. He recited in his statement that Stineburg Was brought into his court on" a charge of assault and battery with intent to commit rape and that when it was learned that Stineburg was out of the 'reformatory on parole he revoked the parole and sent Stineburg back to prison to serve out his term, This statement of the legal facts in the case was given to Judge Miers by Judge AVilson and the latter does not know how or when i Miss Helen Meissler Now Leads In Race for Queen of Society Circus.
