VOTE FOR WILSON for having the
survey of Cheat river made AMI Sc
curing large appropriations for its
improvement.
VOTE FOR WILSON because he has
secured pensions for old soldiers in
this county who had tried and wait
ed in want and poverty for years
without being able to get what the
government intended they should
until Wilson took up their claim
and had it allowed.
VOTE FOR WILSON, the champion
of the peoples rights and the friend
and advocate of the ;aboring man
against the greed of monopoly and
the crushing power of high tariff
trusts.
VOTE FOR WILSON, who has the
brains and ability to stand up in
Congress and cope with the whole
gigantic, blood sucking power of
monopolistic greed and crushing
class legislation.
VOTE FOR WILSON, the "Scholar
in Politics." as against man who
would not be able to draw his salary
if some one else did not get up the
bill.
VOTE FOR WILSON, the man of
experience as against man who if
elected to Congress would have to
hire guidcto take him around and
who would be simply tool in the
hands of lobbyist and log rolling
politicians.
VOTE FOR WILSON and help keep
In Congress man who has made a
record second to none in all this
broad land of ours and among the
great men Of the ninteenth century.
You will never regret it, but should
be proud of the honor.
VOTE FOR WILSON and be on the
winning side and thus have the sat
lsfaction of knowing that you are
one of the people, for the people in
dorse Wilson's course and will con-
tinue to send him to Congress for
some time to come.
VOTE FOR WILSON because he is
farmer if you want to, for he owns
and operates one of the finest farms
in the country. This is the ONLY
capital Rev. Harman has; the main
reason urged for supporting him
and on this ground even Mr.. Viii
son can stand on an equal footing.
Now in all honesty and fairness,
what has Mr.. Hartman to recon.
mend him over Mr.. Wilson ? The
Era, Journal and other Republican
papers Of this district are constant
ly lauding Harman as the "Farmei
Candidate" and urging the people
to vote for him on this ground.

CHEROKEE COUNCIL
Message Of Chief Perryman Re
garding Lands

The message OF Chief Perryman to
the council of the Creek nation now in
session at Ocmogee, makes mention OF
the law enacted by congress by which
the western tribes are fast alloting
their lands preparatory to admission
as citizens into the American repub-
lie. He then adds: Thus the rights,
privileges and authority OF five nations
are iniringed upon and curtailed at al
most every session Of congress. 1t
would hardly be fair to charge. con-
gress with malice toward the Indians
or wilful disregard OF their interests.
The general policy of the government
toward the Indians is one OF humanity
and charity. The fault lies in the
ignorance Of our would-be beneiactors
us regards the true condition and
needs Of the Indians. This congress,
through its misdirected zeal for the
bettelment Of the condition OF the In
dams, handicapped our most laudabe
efforts for self-government and self
preservation, Unceasing vigilance is
the only hope Of our existence. The
congress OF the United States must be
constantly informed OF our condition
and must be continually reminded OF
the sacred treaty obligations she has
entered into with Us in the past. 1t is
recommended. therefore, that IA strong
delegation he sent to Washington to
represent our nation during tho next
session Of congress.

A REIGN OF TERROR.
Great Excitement over Fresh
Outrage.

McClellandtown, Pa. is again In the
center OF excitement An outrage IN
line with those perpetrated by the IA

of Mrs. George Murket was set fire by
unknown parties, and the occupants,
Mrs. Murket, her little daughter and
a neighbor, were aroused in time TO
save the building and themselves from
destruction, The incendiaries had eff
fected an entrance through an open
ing in the second story and placed a
tick directly over Mrs. Murket's bed
in the room below and set fire to it.
1t burned through the floor and
aroused Mrs. Murket just in time.
Mrs. Murket was attacked by two men
one night in August last. They tied
her to the bed, saturated her clothing
with kerosene and threatened to set it
on fire. They left her more dead than
alive. She has not recovered from
the shock, and this last outrage will,
it is feared, result fatally. She E;den-
titled her assailants as John Dean and
Benjamin Powers and had them ar
rested. They were given IA hearing
and in default of bail were sent to
Jail. Recently Dean was released on

ferment, caused by systematic raid
by police and detectives, and over fifty
white girls, who have baen living with

driven out of tho houses and cellars
by the detectives. The women wero
all young. Most OF them were half
stupid with opium and half burned
pipes and lam os were found N every
room. AT $3.50 the raid ceased and
the policemen counted fity.sevcn pris-
oners. So FAR as possible each police
man had two prisoners. They formed
in line In the middle OF the street and
marched to the police court. The
women were all arraigned at the
Tombs police court. The majority Of

OUR SILVER MINES.

ity In silver Mining Camps.

+. o. Leech, the director OF the
mint, has returned from visit to
number OF mines in the west. Speak
ing OF his trip he said: As to the pros
poets Of silver mining and the current
production of our mines, should say
thai the silver product OF the United
States is increasing; certainly there
is great activity in all the mining
camps which | visited, and when one
considers that only short time ago
they were getting only 30 cents an
ounce Cor silver and 81 cents a pound
for lead, while to-day silver is worth
81. 10 an ounce aud lead cents a
pound, it is not surprising that there
should be great activity in the mining
industries, and that the output should
be increased. But the precious metals
are not like wheat and cereals and
manufactured goods. they cannot be
raised ad libitum, they must be found,
and when found are soon exhausted,
especially when actively and prof ably
mined.

TERRIBLE COMPACT.
Another Member of the Suicide
Club FulfilIs His Oath.

Another member OF the suicide club
at Bridgeport, Conn, has carried out
the edict of that society. This time
it Is Emil Ziemske, who ended his life
by taking cynide of potassium.
Ziemske came from Ansonia and join
the club only nine months ago, when
it was without members other than its
president and secretary. Early last
spring William L. Maby, United States
lettercarrier, killed himself. Wendell
Raum shot himself and Joseph Mopp
followed by hanging himself. Al!
were members OF the suicide club.
These last three rolled up the suicides
to nearly score and reduced the
membership to the president and sec
rotary, who are exempt from self de-
struction. Iiemske, with three others,
was then pledged TO the secret order.
A ballot resulted in ordering Xiemske
to destroy himself before the next
meeting, Saturday night, October Is,
anc Ziemske has fulfilled his vow.

SUSTAINS THE Law.
The Wilson Law Effective in low a,
Says Judge Shiras.

Judge Shiras Oct. 25th made an
important ruling involving the Iowa
prohibitory law. The matter came up
on petition for habeas corpus in
which +. f. Spiekler, OF Carroll
county, was plaintiff. Spiekler was
adjudged guilty OF contempt of court
in Carroll county on September 18th,
1890. An injunction had been issued
against him in the district court
The affidavit against him was lilled by
). ID. Henry and Willis Weaver two
electors of Carroll county. The in
junction in question was issued In
April last, b. |. Salinger appearing
for defendant and H. A. Church for
the state, The court adjudged that
Spiekler should pay fine of 500 and
costs OF the proceedings, and that in
default OF payment OF the fine the de-
PENDANT be committed To the county
Jail for 200 days.
la the petition for habeas corpus
Spiekler attempted to show that he
was restrained from liberty by j. w,
Kinnebick, sheriff of Carroll county
1t was claimed that such restraint was
illegal. 1t was held that the only
sales made by this petitioner were
in original packages, separately and
securely wrapped and sealed in the
state of Nebraska and shipped to the
defendantatC Coon Rapids, Iowa. That
the liquors were only sold in the
original form in which they were
shipped, and that the liquors were
articles OF Interstate commerce. IL
was argued that the law OF Iowa in so
far as it relates to the sale OF intoxicat-
ing liquors In original packages Ia
contrary to and repugnant with sec
ton 8, article /, of the constitution
OF the United States. That the legal
ity OF said Imprisonment has not been
adjudged before prior proceeding OF
this character, to the best knowledge
and belief OF the petitioner.
The case came up for hearing Oct.
25th. Judge Shiras stated that the
writ prayed for would be denied. II
was denied for two reasons. First, he
held that Tho Wilson law is valid and
in force against the traffic in what is
called original packages in Iowa and
the lowaprohibitary law was in effect.
The writ was denied for the second
reason that the matter was not pro-
perly one for the United States district
court. The parties had the state
courts in which TO test the matter. II
they were not satisfied with the state
courts they could appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States. The
matter would have to go there and he
preferred II should go by way of the
state courts.
Judge Shiras stated that In q few
days he would file written opinion,
but for the present he gave the above
reasons for refusing the writ

CRIME OF FANATICS
An Old Woman Dies While Under
going Enforced Baptism.

Three miles from Perry, Mich, have
lived for many years William Fillinger
and wife. Last summer they attended
a series of reyivals and became re-
ligion mad in mild way. With them
lived Fillinger's mother, who has long
been physically frail. 1t worried
Fillinger and his wife that the elder
woman was unbaptised, ard they de.
cided that the necessary religious rite
should be performed although the
poor woman was confined to her bed,
unable TO rise.
Taking water to her room they be-
gan the ceremony by dashing water in
her face, and continued it, until from
shock and exhaustion their victim
ceased to struggle. The Mortified
fanatics then discovered too late that
she was dead. Soon after neighbors
were attracted to the house, and dis
covering the dead tody took charge OF
the nearly crazed pair. They also
rescued q little child whom they assert
the couple was about to submit to a
similar deadly baptism. The couple
were brought to Perry and arraigned
before Esquire Bolt, and then taken
to Jail at Corunna.
