A few weeks ago the editor was
AIKEN with a very severe cold that
aused him to be in a most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly bad
case of la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps to
bring about speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-.
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make first trial Of the
medicine. TO say that it was satisfac
tory In its results, is putting 1t very
mildly, indeed. 1t acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon.
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with cough or cold
in any form. The BANNER Of Liberty

If Fred White would quit eternally
denying that he is an anarchist, and
quit fighting the imaginary fellows
who call him an anarchist, people
would forget about the charge. He
seems to rather glory in the fact that
some accuse him of anarchy. But
then it doesn't matter much whether
he is an anarchist or not. In his run
ming next November he will not get in

Yes, Mr.. Shaw Loaned Money.


short of material upon which to con-
duct their campaign that they have to
resort to what ls.regarded by honorable
people as contemplate trickery. They
are distributing circular which con
tains in detail a statement of the loans
made by j.. Nj. Shaw, republican can
didate for governor. lnterspersed with
these lists of loans are scriptural quo
tatiOns against The lisuier of ancient
times. The driuilc,aliri, of theusur"r
and the terrible imprrcations against
him are thus attempted to be made TO
apply to Mr.. Shaw. 1t is thus tried to
put Mr. Shaw in the list of those who
have robbed their fellow men, and the
sayings of Christ against the hypo-
critics are applied to him.
Whatkind of Il committee is running
Whites campaign? Do they take the
people of Iowa for anarchists that
they can be inflamed at the will of the
popOcratic committee? All know
money lending among the ancients was
looked on with disfavor. All know
that this is now changed. Who among
us believes that he who accommodates
us with loan is william and deserves
the curses and punishments of hell.
Ii that kind of sentiment is believed
by Mr.. White and his followers, the
sooner it is understood, the better.
What ii Mr. Shaw has loaned over a
million dollars for eastern parties to
the farmers of this country? The
farmers wanted the money and Mr..
Shaw acted rs their agent The money
helped to develop the state and Mr..
Shaw was in Il laudable business when
he was securing the money for his
neighbors. Amy candidate or commit
tee that makes use Of such argument
deserves Il defeat that will put them
out of politics so as no longer to dis
grace it.
Is the popocratic committee sure that
Mr.. White has never loaned money to
any one? Are they sure that because
of the wealth he has acquired, and
nearly all "since the crime of 49," he
has not used it to his own advantage
Do they know he has been as just as
has Mr.. Shaw in his treatment of those
with whom he has had dealings? Do
they know his private life has been q
model one? The republican party has
not cared enough about this matter to
investigate it. preferring to conduct
the campaign on higher than personal
grounds. They have not sent spies to
Webster where Mr.. White lives to dig
up the matters there existing against
him, although spies were sent to Deni-
son quickly after Mr.. Shaw's nomina-
ton. If republicans had adopted the
same policy toward Mr.. White we
would have had campaign more SEN
satiOnal, but less honorable to the state.
1t is not charged that Mr.. Shaw has
done anything dishonorable in the loan
business, and this latest action of Mr..
Whites committee will cause it to for
felt much Of the respect of the people
of Iowa. 1t will surely not make Mr..
White any votes.

we will give special rate OF one dollar

TIE RUSH FOR GOLD.

The wild rush to the Klondyke
and Alaskan gold fields furnishes
another exhibition of human greed
even in opposition to ordinary COM
fort. Food has to be transferred for
miles, and supply for months be
kept for use. The weather, unlike
that the forty miners met in the rush
to California, is not bland, the mild
est of winter being way down below
zero, and the colder ones lower still.
Even the natives can scarcely sur
vive the intense cold, though born
and reared in it. In addition to the
mild climate OF California, where
man could sleep barefooted, there
was no scarcity of provisions. Rich
and fertile valleys bore them good
sustenance, while the plains furnish
ed excellent game. Emigration was
possible there, and prosperous homes
feasible and while miners chased
chasms and the creek sides for mug
gets, the tillers of the virgin
soil were building greater COM
monwealth. Alaska may have as
much gold, but the conditions are
very different. Are you going to

The MEASURING OF A SHIPS RATE
OF SA1LING.-Before the patent log
came into existence the oId-fashion-
ed chip log was the only means of
measuring a ships rate of sailing.
1t has one advantage over the for
mer, inasmuch as a vessels speed
can be told by it at any given in
slant, while the patent log is mainly
useful for recording a considerable
distance run. The old-fashioned log
consists of four pieces, namely, the
log-chip, the reel, the line, and the
sand glass. The log-chip is a fat
piece of thin board. loaded with
lead on the circular side so that it
will float upright on the water, and
to which the leg line is fastened in
the same way tina; bow-kite is rig.
ged to receive the string. The line
is 100 fathoms or more in length,
and is divided into certain spaces
called knots. The reel is made TO
turn very freely, so that it will offer
no resistance when the log-chip is
thrown overheard. The sand glass
contains just enough grains to pass
from one bulb to the other in half
minute of time. This practice OF
measuring a ships rate Of sailing is
quite simple. The idea is that the
length between each knot is the
same part of mile as half minute
is of an hour. Therefore the knots
are placed fifty.one feet apart.
What is called heaving the log is
thus performed: One man holds the
reel, another the half-minute glass !;
the officer throws the log chip over
the stern, and waits moment, until
enough line has run out to carry
the chip out of the eddy OF the
ships wake, then calls" Turn.' The
man holding the glass reverses it,
and watches until the sand has run
through, when he cries, "Stop II
The officer Immediately stops the
line and notes the number of knots
run off, which number represents
the rate of speed per honr.-Har-
