Principles Of the A. P. A.

This association is being maliciously
misrepresented and we wish to be
placed fairly before the public:
l. Nationality is not a bar to member
ship in the order. No man is asked
where he was born.
?. We interfere with no mans
partisan politics.
3. We attack no mans religion, SO
long as he does not attempt to make bis
| religion an element of political power.
4. We unite to protect our country
and its free institutions against the
secret, intOlerant and aggressive efforts
that are persistently being set forth by
a certain religio-political organization to
control the government of the United
States and DESTROY u blood-bought
civil and religious liberty.
). We are in favor of preserving
constitutional liberty and maintaining
the government Of the United States.
6. We regard all religiO-polIlical
ORGANIZATIONS as the enemies OF civil
and religious liberty.
I. 1t is IN our opinion u1Wlse and
unsafe to appoint or elect to civil,
political or military Office ii, this cOun-
try men who wv supreme allegiance TO
any foreign king, potentate or ecciesta6-
ticaI power and who are sworn TO obey
such power.
s. We are in favor of maintaining
the principle Of ONE general unSec-
tartan free school organization, and Will
oppose all attempts to supplant 1t by
any sectarian institution.
8. We are opposed to all attempts,
local or national, to use public funds for
any sectarian purpose.
10. We are III favor of laws taxing all
church property.
IL. We are in favor of changing our
immigration laws iii such manner that
they will protect our citizen %iaborers
from the evil influences Of cheap
pauper and criminal labor. which,
through the instrumentality of Euro
pean prOpagandist societies, and in this
country by tie aid Of strikes and the
subtle influence Of priests, are rapidly
supplanting our free and educated
American citizens in every line Of IN
dustry.
u. We believe there should be an
educational qualification to the elective
franchise that will require every
american citizen" to be A~EieTicanized.
10. We are in favor of putting into
office honest and true patriots who are
the best qualified to fill the position,
regardless OF political parties.
II. We are willing TO be governed by
these principles in u future political
action.
Is. Our mission is to awaken the
people of free America from their
lethargy, Indifference and over-conf-
dence. Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" yet the Professionals OF this
Republic have ceased to be vigllant, and
in conscious strength are either intent
ly chasing the almighty dollar, OF
quietly doing, while We swiftly uflIC
toward a more tremendous and terrible
crisis than this country has yet known.

An Interesting Question.

The adulteration of food is an i'm
portant question to the people Of the
world. Very few are aware of the
great extent to which the fraudulent
practice of adulteration Of foods is
carried on. There is in thisstate a law
for the protection of dealers and con
sumers of vinegar. For the purpose, of
finding out what the quality of the
different makes of vinegar offered for
sale in the Twin Cities was, samples
were taken by L. H. Read and pre-
scented to D. l.. Hardness, State Dairy
The following is the report on the five
samples submitted:,

Literary Society.

\ very pleasing and interesting pro-
gram was rendered at the High School
building last Friday evening.
A good paper was read by James
Keves in which he opposed vaccination,
not upon his own authority alone, but
upon the evidence OF statistics produced
and the authority of eminent physicians.
He was followed by an interesting
impromptu address by Dr.. 0. I. Hougen
on ''Small Pox and Vaccination" The
DR.. treated an explanation of small pox
very thoroughly and favored vaccina-
ton.
y select reading by Ray Sherwood
taken from Bill Ayes trip to Niagara
Falls amused the audience very much.
\ fair attendance was present.

The law requires that cider vinegar
must contain > per cent of solids and all
vinegars must contain at least / per
cent of Acetic acid, and that it is a
misdemeanor to sell any that does not
come up to this standard.
1t will be seen that of the four so
called cider vinegars,- only II is
genuine and the others are liable for
prosecution if they sell them as such.
No. II, cannot be sold as vinegar at all
because it does not come up to the
t per cent standard.
1t would pay our local dealers to buy
all their vinegar subject to the test. of
Chemists as they would then hold them
selves safe from the possibility of
prosecution and place all responsibility
upon the Manufacturers

HE wREsrLED WITH A BEAR.
Adam Meetings. Perilous Adventure
I'm the skagit County Forest.

I'm the skagit County Forest
Adam Q. Mechling, the veteran hunter
OF the Sank, fell under the Jaws of a 300
pound she bear week ago last Thursday
and is now nursing lame shoulder and
hand and lacerated thigh as the result
of his experience.
In company with Joseph Matthias, of
Pennsylvania. he was hunting for deer in
the dense underground of the forest east of
Hamilton, in Skagit county, and was pass
ing through thIcket in which devils
club grew profusely. Progress through
the underground was most difficult, and
In order to see where they were the two
men climbed to the top of log that had
fallen across another log. All at once
Mechling raised his hand with a warning
gesture of silence. "Sh-h-h. see q fawn's
head, he whispered, at the same time
pointing over the tops Of the bushes to
a Drown animal some yards away that
seemed to be eating the red berries of the
devils club.
at Is a fawn." he added, bringing his
gun TO shoulder. Taking a steady aim, he
fred. and the animal dropped from sight.
A moment later there was a commotion in
the brush abont twenty yards TO the right
shouted Mechling. and he plunged from
the log into the thicket, determined to
capture the fawn before il could get
further into toe forest. In n second or
two lac was at the spot where the animal
was first seen. AS he crashed through
the brush. suddenly black object rose up
before him, uttered a smothered growl,
struck fiereely at his arms. and sent bis

The bear, for such il was, immediately
closed with him. aud down he went. the
savage beast on top. tearing his clothing
TO shreds aud laoerating the flesh in a
dozen places.
Mechling called to Matthias. who at once
sprang 20 his assistance. When Matthias
reached his companions side he found
the bear lying across the PROSTATE hunter.
the claws Of the left fore foot set in his
right shoulder. the right paw clutchins
the Lett hand and the jaws closed on the

Martin, Of the same engine. also jumped,
but escaped serious injury There re-
mains a doubt as 10 who is TO blame for
the accident. and the matter will be given
. thorough investigation this morning by
officials OF both roads.
Last evening at o'clock the narrow
gauge train of sixteen cars. fourteen
loads. two empties and a caboose, in
charge of Conductor Adams. was occupy
ing the track at Van ASSET doing the
Company's works, when the North
ern Pacific freight in charge
OF Conductor Egan left Black
River Junction fifteen minutes behind II
and was running to make the stock yards
side track 10 meet Northern Pacific train
No. IL due to leave Seattle at 6:l5. The
train bore down at Van ASSET go
ing at a rapid rate and when Engi-
neer Pebbles saw the freight ahead
he whistIed down brakes" reversed his
engine and jumped. His fireman, Dave
Martin. jumped at the same moment from
the opposite side of the cab.- The caboose
of No. 20 was two car lengths beyond the
switch, which was thrown open prep ara
tory TO backing the train into the siding.
The big freight engine ran of
the short rail and tore over the
ties. dragging a refrigerator and box
car after il. This diminished the speed,
bet the caboose was struck with sufficient
force TO stave in and demolish the whole
end, while the headlight, smokestack and
pilot of the engine were torn of. The
right steam chest was also slightly dam
aged.
Mrs. Smith, who was in the caboose,
heard the whistle for down brakes, and
threw up window to look out. At the
same moment the collision occurred,
throwing the caboose off the rails, the
force of the blow humping her face against
the window, bruising her cheek and her
elbow. She was much frightened, but DIR.
Rufus Smith. the railroad surgeon. found
that her wounds were not serious. She
was on her way to her home at Green lake
from visit to friends at Maple Valley.
Several of the cars were somewhat dam
aged about the Drawbacks by the force of
the collision. Train No. Ga was drawing
seven loaded cars and a caboose. As soon
as the news of the wreck reached Seattle
Superintendent Smith, of the Columbia Il
Puget Sound road, ordered the wrecking
train TO the scene and the track was
cleared at t0:45, until which time the
Northern Pacific passenger train from
Portland was detained.

1859. In an interview with PosT-lNrEL-
LIsKscER reporter he said:
.sThe substantial air of settled activity
which / n otice does not surprise me, Tor
from knowledge of this place and OF trans
continental lines in general, have Always
believed that Seattle In the west anu
Duluth in the East will be two OF the
principal cities in the country. Since my
recent visit TO Duluth and my visit here
now my belief in this point has been
materially strengthened. l had great
deal of confidence in Seattle at time
when she was not the dominant city OF
the Sound, and. il it were not for these
Democratic times, Seattle would have
gone forward with even more rapid strides
than she has. Hard times, however, fall
hard on new places.
"In ST. Louis We have hardly felt the
business depression. the people there be-
ing pretty well grounded and IN position
to meet the depletion OF business. 1 think
If the tariff bill now before the president
is disposed OF times will grow better. Any
thing TO settle the peoples minds and re-
new con fidenee is what ge want, and Just
now tho tariff will be as good an instru-
ment for this purpose as anything else.
There is plenty of money IN the country,
and all We need is a renewal of confidence
and settled condition of affairs and the
money will be put into circulation"
