To Exterminate the Apaches.
GEN. SHERIDAN CONFIDENT THAT GENERAL
CROOK Is ABOUT TO ACcoAPIIsH IT.
In an interview yesterday Gen. Sheridan said
he had reason to believe Gen. Crooks present
operations would result in the destruction of
Chief Geronimo's band OF Apaehes, although
this work cannot be accomplished in q day.

troops he wants, and they are placed in the

Every country physician should have

Attention to the diseases of the lower
animals is. no doubt. of less conse-

human beings. but cannot see why it
should be regarded as Il matter of in

scientific man considers it beneath him
to inquire into the causes of the pota- :

The preservation of tile healtl, of do

Tho Truth At Last.

The truth about cen. Miles and the

port. 1t Is Admitted that concessions
were made to the hOstiles. The lieu-
tenant general declares that they can

tiles for punishment, as the president
intended" But the president cannot
complain, because he was absent from
Washington In the Adirondacks when
the surrender was made, and it was
difficult to comm unicate with him
Gen. Miles was afraid to wait long for
the assent to the terms which GerOni-
mo had proposed. Gen. Crook had an
unfortunate experience from delaying

Washington. Geronimo did not like
the proceedings and fled. Therefore
Gen. Miles closed tie matter at once

PAoNIA. Nov. 21st, 1885

To THE EDITOR OF THE INDEPENDENT
had hoped this portion of Delta
county would enter upon a new epoch
after the election was over. That all
differences as to how men would or
ought to vote would be laid aside. and
that every man would get down to
solid work for the upbuilding and
social improvement of the community.
But from an article in your last issue
signed "Voter" it does seem as though
same men are never at ease unless they
are throwing stones at somebody. 1t
has always been the custom in the up
per voting precincts of this county, to
have the doors. on election days and
evenings. open. giving free ingress to
any elector who wished to so up to
the polls and cast his ballot. or to any
who wished to be present during the
count and take minute of the vote
cast.
Nor were the two last elections con-
ducted amy more openly than the pre-
ceeding elections of this precinct. 1t
was possibly for man whose princi-
Piles are worth less than the paper OH
which his ticket was printed to obtain
the number of any voter. But am Mt
loss to know who Voter" in his
article meant by "hoodlun,s" unless it
was the honorable clerks of the cleo
tion: for l AIN positive that there were
no other two persons who occupied pO-
sitions near the judges. all or any
material part of the day. And if lie

tunity TO read the number Oh the back.
and if either of the other two judges
handled ticket in manner SO it was
possible for some prying eye to read
the number OIL the back thereof. 1t
was in my Judgment an oversight and
not an intentional act, but agree with
Mr.. "Vuter" that our elections should
be conducted more discreetly in tile
future. and that our judges should be
more careful to keep the record of the
ballot-box Il secret and that the ap-
pointive power of Delta county should
