NO ROOSTER TODAY.

Our readers Will notice the absence
Of q rooster from our columns today
This 10 not beca ice we do not own
ono for in faat we own two nice,
big. gamey fellow and q poor meas
ley sick one. The gamsy one is .
Democratic cuss and tue sick one is
OF the Republican persuasion. But
somehow or other the Democrat
rooster docs not feel like Growing.
Tho truth about the matter Ii that he
wAs taken sick last evening when
the bulletin Of yesterdays election
began to come and as they cont usd
he grew sicker and sicker as each
one announced Mckinley victorious
everywhere His condition is pretty
bad today, but we think liberal doses
of pure Democracy continued during
the next four years will put him in
condition for the next great National
fight, Anyhow we shall not dope
hin with the gold cure even il he
should turn up his toes under our
treatment.
We have written The above merely
fof the PURPOSE Of preparing
bur readers for the disagreeable
truths we are compelled 10 lay be
fore them in regard to the Presi :, n
tial election held throughout the
United States yesterday, in which the
people decided in favor Lf continuing
the present gold standard with NIL Of
it's consequent miseries.
The latest dispatches received in
dicate very clearly that Mckinley and
Hobart will be tho next President
and Vice-President OF the United
States.
A New York Bulletin sent ont by
The United Press this Afternoon gives
the electoral vote corrected up to
1 p. N. as follows: Mckinley $50,
Bryan 1873, doubtful 26.
The Associated Press gives Nc
Kinley 22' electoral votes certain,
almost certain IL and indications are
that he has 25 more. 1t gives Bryan
1875 certain, probably % moro and
doubtful &c. -.
You can see now why the INDEPEN
DENT displays no rooster today.

An insult Resented.

Some few weeks ago the Daily Ore
gonian, Of Portland, Or, in speaking
Of Mr.. Bryan said:
%Bunco Bill and his country. bred
wife are still in the New England
States" etc. ..-.
At the Bryan meeting, held in the
Park Theatre last Saturday night. the
Hon. William M. Colvig of Jackson
vile, Or, in a speech made by him
resented this insult to American
womaDhood by saying:
ayes, fellow citizens, the little
browneyed woman who was a school
girl stood beside our fearless cham
pion and graduated with him in uni
versity and law school. and pledged
her loyalty to him at the marriage al
tar. and who through tie intervening
years has been the queen of his heart
and his home, the mother Of his chill
dren and the angel Of his destiny, is
country-bred. Aye! az country-bred
as the wrinkled mother whom Gar
fold stopped and kissed as his LOVING
duty after he had taken the oath Of
Office as Chief Magistrate of this great
Republic; as country-bred a. the
mother who gave Lincoln h the
world, or ss hcmt ~ cid Abe 5hnsel,
and we MAY thank God that this little
oountry-bred wife. and not Carnegie,
Hanna or Huntington, will have the
listening ear Of the next resident of
the United States. will be the power
behind the American throne. the
Queen OF the White House,"
Although the American people
have decided that Mrs. Bryan shall
not be the Queen of the White
House, she and her noble busband
will he remembered long after the
cur Who wrote that squib has ro,ted
In his grave.

A. Lucky Chance for the Sick and suffering

A. Lucky Chance for the Sick and Suffering
We are aware that our people who suf-
err from nervous, chronic Dr. long-stand-
ing complaints do not have the same op-
portunity to be cured as do the residents
of the great cities where the most emil
nent physicians and specialists reside.
In other words, our people are debarred
from seeking cure by the great and
skilled physicians owing to the cost of
travel to the large city and the high fees
charged by such physicians.
Here. therefore, is chance for the sick
Of our community which should not be
lost. DR.. Greene, of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, who has the largest prao-
tice in the world and who is without
doubt the most successful specialist in
curing all forms OF nervous and chronic
diseases, offers to give free consultation
by mail to ALI sufferers whom their local
physician has failed to cure. You have
the privilege of consulting DR.. Greene
by letter, describing your complaints,
and ne will after carefully considering
your condition, send you letter fully
explaining all your symptoms, telling
you everything about your Complaints SO
plainly that you will undertand exactly
what ails you. He will also give you
his advice, based upon his vast expert
ence and wonderful success in treating
suoh cases, as to just what to do to get
cured All this will cost you nothing,
and you can thus have consultation with
the best known physician and aoknowI-
edged most successful specialist in the
world, without leaving home and at no
expense whatever. The doctor 10 the dis
coverer of that greatest of all known
medicines, Or. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, and he has discovered
many other most valuable remedies.
Write him now, for this is chance to
get CURED which you may never have
again.

HaHlips and iIia Dog.

Not long ago Mr.. Justice Hawkins had
fox terrier named jack. Once at War
wick Jack and his master were caught
rafting by farmer on the banks Of the
Avon. His lordship, nowise disconnected,
rendered q sovereign to cover the trespass
which the farmer, affronted by such a cool
proceeding, refused with indignation.
"You had better take 1t, - said the judge
"It's reasonable offer" Then the farmer
got SO angry that Sir Henry announced
himself. And. what Is more, SIR" said
he, "you shall go with me to the Warwick
Arms and crack q bottle Of champagne
with TINT sovereign Immediately" The
story adds that there was free rafting for
Jack on that bit Of land as long as he lived.
There are other stories about Jack, end
1t Is said that when sitting on the bench
with his master he once vcntured to ex-
press his opinions on the matters before
him In a singularly loud tone. The tale
goes that Sir Henry, with the greatest
promptitude, directed the ushers to "turn
that dog out of the gallery" The ushers
Of course did not find dog In the gallery
and nobody ventured to look under the
bench
On solemn occasions Jack was always
attached to the judges wrist by long
blue ribbon, and many junior hos be-
guiled tho tedium of case by Watching
the ribbon gradually unroll as Jack pur-
sued his Investigations, while Sir Henry
every now and then "hauled in the slack. -

Army Bullets For Game.

Something for sportsmen to consider
seriously, If they intend to get one Of
the new 80 caliber army rifles, is the
great penetration Of the bullets. One Of
the bullets would kill q man through a
four foot spruce tree or a COW mile
and more away. No ordinary tree can
be depended on to stop one Of these bull
lets, and 1t might easily travel half a
mile through dense woods and hit q
man far out of sight with deadly effect.
Field and Stream says that the next
legislatures Of our great game states
should pass law prohibiting the use of
jacketed bullet because of the danger
to human beings. Another argument it
offers In favor Of such law will have
great influence ON the men who do not
wish to wound without killing the
game. ''This class Of bullets is useless
for large game unless soft pointed" it
says, "as it rarely kills Instantly, but
allows the game to die from internal
hemorrhage and in terrible agony out
of reach
When such o rifle is used for big
game, bullet that mushrooms should
be employed. The mushrooming bullet
will kill anything, as it goes clear
through an elk, moose or deer, and the
force Of the impact would knock a run
ming grizzly down.
