An Uncfvil Strife.

Nothing Is more noteworthy in this cam
paign than the internecine bitterness evolv-
ed. 1t is al ''uncivil strife" and many of
the prominent leaders do not hesitate 10
apply epithets the most opprobious to
each other. George and Dayton. demo-
Gratis both, announce in the plainest terms
that their fight is against Tammany and
Crokerism- The Citizens Union speakers
majority of whom republicans, in
weigh most bitterly against Mr.. Platt and
his adherents. while the latter call Low
and his followers traitors. jisorganizers
and hypocrites.

three meetings last night, and was well
received at each.

year: in fact. that of the present cities of
New York and Brooklyn should be in
creased 10000 today to equal the figures
of 1896.
In Tammany precincts there is a fuller
registration than In other sections of this
city. which is taken an indication that
the regular democratic organization, which
Tammany processes to be, is working with
all its might to bring out votes to counter
act possible OBJECTIONS to Eenry George.
The events Of tie last forty-eight hours
seem to indicate that Gen. Tracy is gain
ing strength. and not few acute politi-
clans are recorded as believing that the
contest will be between him and Van
Wyck. The straight republican organiza-
ton, it Is pointed out, includes veteran
campaigners, who as soon as they learned
definitely that no compromise would be
effected with the Citizens Union recognIz-
ed that the hardest kind OF a conflict was
before them. They took steps to meet the
difficulties.
OF money there is said to Re no lack. and
the unique spectacle is presented of contri-
buttons to the Tracy campaign fund by
bankers and business men who favor and
will vote for Low-at least a number of
prominent men are credited with thus CIV
ing and thus intending.

Low in the effort to deprive him of any
republican support. No intelligent person
can doubt for an instant that IL the re-
publican party can succeed in voting sub
stantially its full support for General
Tracy he will be elected. The detection
from Tammany Hall TO George will be
enormous, and in that situation the re-
publican party is perfectly competent to
elect It's ticket. The republican ticket can
be defeated only by republican OBJECTIONS
to Low. and in that event it is not Low
who will be elected. but Van Wyck. Our
prime duty. therefore, is to prevent these
republican defections to Low if We can:
and the way to do that plainly is to ex-
pose Low as the Tammany ally, which he

The following is an obituary written
by one who knew him best:
William Warder Higgins was born
November IL, 1910, on farm near
Lexington, Ky, which was granted to
his grandfather for service in the revo-
luton. He was of Scotch-Irish paren-
tage on both sides, and throughout his
life displayed the fine qualities of that
sturdy race. His paternal ancestor
emigrated from Belfast about the mid
die of the eighteenth century Doctor
Higgins was graduated from Transyl-
vania University IN 1882, and was in
active practice for thirty years, when,
i'll health compelling, he turned his
attention with equal energy to mercan-
tile affairs. He began his career in
Mt. Vernon, ILL.,. afterward removing
to Lexington, Mo.
In 1868, in search of health, he went
up the Missouri river with Gen. Sully,
as contract surgeon The dry climate
proving very beneficial, he returned in
1864 by the same route, penetrating as
far as Deer Lodge. From that date he
has been identified with Montana,
living first in BlacSfoot City, and after
wards in Deer Dodge, always actively
engaged in mercantile life, in which
his uprightness won him lasting re-
spect. The Intirmities of age spared
his good mind and fine judgment, and
death found him still at his post
For sc years he did his duty patient
ly and modestly; always self-reliant
and cheerful, he was a useful citizen TO
his last hour, and he went to his grave
regretted by the whole community.
The word neighbor had living mean
ing to him, and he was repaid by the
affection of old and young. Death
came 10 HIM as q long expected friend,
for at the end of busy day and a
pleasant evening with his family, he
closed his eyes forever on our strug-
giles, and died as he had lived, uneX-
acting and self forgetful TO the last.
He was simple in mis- tastes: he loved
home, and books, and flowers, and
every child was his friend. The last
of his neighbors who saw hlm alive
was tiny tot of three years, who put
her arms about his neck and kissed
him s'by-bye." His children, with
chastened spirits, lift their eyes and
give thanks for this beautiful, unset
fish life, with ITS bright memories of
homely virtues. Without one regret
they give him back to God, and leave
the wornout body to rest at the foot of
the mountain he so dearly loved.
So be my passingl

done.

IF A MAN DIE.
BY HENRY WALKER.

(From the English of JobI
Man born OF woman is of few days and
sorrow
The measure OF his lot
fl over to Law, ne is cut down tomorrow
A shadow-and is not.
Fixed are his troubled years-his months
are numbered
Coanted his final breath.
Set are his bounds-his plans and ven-
lures numbered
By horizon of death!
A tree hath hope even in the hour of
falling
That it may live again
Its roots will spront new life from moist
earth calling;
Its throat still drink the rain.
Nay, though the roots wax old-the dry
heart perish
Beneath the earth
The scent of water sweet will new hopes
cherish,
And buds aud boughs break forth.
But a man dies aud as a dead thing
wasteth-
Decays-and where is he?
Az the flood sinking, from the parched
drouth hasteth,
Or waters fail the sea.
Man lieth down-the endless sIumber
Silent and soon forgot
Until the stars fall there shall be nc
waking
Man dies and rises not!
Oh, hide me in the grave-my body
keeping
Uutil Thy wrath be past;
Then at some time wake me from my
long sleeping
Remember me at lasti
Ii a man die, shall he again be living?
Is there a better place?
All my appointed days will be striving
To look upon Thy face.
Then in the hour of change I'll hear The

John p. Herr.

From the Oak Grove Banner.
John p. Herr of this city was born
in Williamsport, Washington county,
Maryland, April 6, 1918. This makes
him now III his S0th year. He is a son
of John, ami Il grandson of John p.
Herr, the latter Swiss gentleman who
arrived in America in time to serve AS
assoldie.' in the continental army dur
ing the revolutionary war.
MIR III rr's mother was formerly Miss
Elizabeth Boroff, and who died when
he was only four years of age. His
father was again married. This time
to Sarah, the sister of his first lady, and
was well-to-do citizen of his state.
Though there was no necessity of his
so doing, Mr.. Herr, when quite young,
determined to learn a trade and follow
it, rather than to live at his ease on his
fathers means. He chose the trade of
house builder and carpenter.
While yet a school boy in Maryland
studying geography, he marked out
Missouri as suitable state for his
future home, and though a mere boyish
fancy grounded on the shape and color
of the state as represented on the map,
! it still had q sufficient influence IN after
years to determine his course when he
resolved to come westward. He ar
rived in st. Louis with some other
young gentlemen in 1886. They came
by stage to Wheeling, West Virginia,
and thence by steamboat down the Ohio
and up Mississippi rivers. St. Louis al
that time was very small place. After
working there at his trade a month, he
