FOR DOCKERY.

We have favored Mr.. Dockery's s
candidacy for governor because he
has been faithful to every trust re-
posed in him by the. people, says
the Valley Democrat and Journal
of Agriculture. While serving in
congress he gained the we'll earned
reputation Of "watch-dog of the
treasury" by his determined and
successful opposition to every
scheme intended to rob the public.
BY his faithful efforts, bis strong
will and commanding influence he
saved the people many millions OF
dollars in the defeat of measures in
tended for the enrichment OF admin.
istration favorites. OF course ii
was nothing more than his duty to
do these things, but so many public
men have been upfaithful in this
respect that when we find one who
does his whole duty, and does it
earnestly and masterfully, we feel
that he ought to have due need OF
praise and recognition for advance
ment. In our estimation Dockery
will make an ideal governor for
the Worlds Fair period.
His familiarity with public and
international affairs, his fine and i'm
posing personality, his ready and
eloquent command Of speech, and
his extensive acquaintance wi tn pro-
minent officials and influential men
of foreign countries, tit him in a
most remarkable manner for the
position of governor during that
period, when our state will be the
focus of interest for the whole world
At the same time we want 1t dis
tinctly understood that this paper
is not Dockerv "organ." We are
no man S servant. We have a habit
Of saying what we please. We are
not nominating candidates in ad-
vance Of the convention; but II we
like a man and think he is fitted for
any particular place, we reserve to
ourselves the right to say so, the
same right that we accord to all
other citizens to express their pre-
ferences. This is democratic, and
"by the eternal we intend to stand
by democracy till the sun sets.

mankind, seem first to have discOv-
cred that within a terribly sour
taste, the lemon carried valuable
medicinal qualities. Among the
things that the crusaders learned
when they went to the Holy Land,
was that it would pay to bring the
lemon back with them; and itisnow
welcome guest all over the Oc-
cident. There are more than thirty
varieties of this peculiar fruit.
The uses of the lemon in the
matter of human health are numer-
Gus.
Hot lemonade will frequently
break up cold, if takenjLst at the
start.
For feverishness and unnatural
thirst, some people soften q lemon
By rolling it on a hard surface, cut
ting off the top, adding sugar, and
then working it down the lemon
with fork, and then sucking slowly.
Corns are cured by piece of
stale bread, molstened by lemon
juice, and bound upon them, renew
ing night and morning. Soreness
will probably be the result at first;
but by little persistence the deslr-
ed result can be produced.
Sore and tender feet are often
made more comfortable, if not en-
tirely cured. by applying slices of
lemon TO them.
TO cure chilblains, take a piece
of lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it,
and rub the feet with it. Repeat If
necessary.

New LocomOtiOn.

Until recently man has found but
two practical means of conveyance
alcpg the solid surface oithe earth,
these beng the rail cars and the
horse or other trained quadruped.
On unrailed routes, however, long
or hard, the alternatives were the
quadruped or the human blped; but
the day of the horseless and unped-
aled vehicle has dawned.
In France the production of these
vehicles, with their inanimate pro.
pellers, had in the a.tumn Of 1898
reached the rate of about 500 Il
month, while several other of the
European countries and our own
were following rapidly in the same
manufacture.
The vehicles are already Construc-
ted of all known forms, and of sizes
suited for carrying from one person
to two dozen. The motive appara-
tus is at present divided in its adap-
tation between steam, the vapor OF
gas of hydrocarbon liquid and cleo
tricity, the latter being next to
steam as respects any one single
form for road use.
In general the Varions automo-
biles weigh each about twice as
much us the same kind OF carriage
built TO be drawn by horse, for in
all these systems except the one
the "horse" rides, In this one
known Us the electric horse system
the motor is mounted by itself
and may be attached TO any form
Of vehicle, which, however, must
ho specially constructed for attach

A Daring PHILOSOPHER.

The oracle of the valley was sit
ting out in front of the store enjo
ing the few brief hours of sunshine
that the season was vouchsaflng ac-
cording to the Washington Star.
He was carefully folding a paper
when one of his neighbors alighted
from the wagon and exclaimed:
"H'lo, JAbe (the oracle's name
was Jabez), "how's the folks?''
"All we'll"
Changing his tone, as beftted a
more serious topic, the newcomer
said:
"I amt heard no news fur u week.

''Of course, he's got a high posi-

The arrest of President Cannon
of the mormon church has been fore.
shadowed in the disturbed condi-
ton of affairs at Salt Lake City.
There has been growing spirit Of
aggressiveness among the mormon
leaders of late and this blow to-,
polygamy is timely. The new
spirit was manifested by the election
of a polygamous mormon to con-
gress. 1t is even asserted that the
edict of the mormon authorities
against polygamy which was issued
at the time the Edmunds law be-
came operative has been secretly
withdrawn.
The conviction Of Presi dent Can.
non will not easily be accomplished,
if accomplished at all. 1t cannot
be supposed that he has permitted
evidence Of a documentary kind to
exist which can be used against bin.
The case will depend mainly on
oral testimony, and that largely Of
his fellow.mormons. The political
power of the mormons is so great
in Utah that il always has to DO
reckoned with in any prosecution
cf this sort.

Edmunds law, by which the open
practice Of polygamy was stopped,

"The Indian is by no means an extinct
portion of civilization" explained an

The Indian of late years has been gen.
orally engaged in minding his own busi-
ness. He is not much improved morally
from what he was, but he has not fallen
behind to any noticeable extent. 1t is a
case of survival of the fittcst, and while
eventually the Indian will have to go, he
is not gathering up his traps and getting
ready to start as yet. Those who regard
small camps in the far west, will be con-

A Few Words From Mr.. Yount.


The Times published in its last
weeks issue an article headed "The
Other Side of the Story"
| admit that it was "The Other
Side of the Story"
l. Because it represents all that
is indecent and immoral.
2. Because no man who has any
respect for himself, his family or
his patrons will stoop so low as to
publish such filth. In reply to this
demons ire, which is unworthy the
notice and respect of every individ-
ual who holds himself above the
the brute creation, will say that
every statement claimed therein is
base falsehood and the product of
that arch tiend OF satan, J. &. Fin
ney, and DEFY HIM To MAKE AFFI-
DAvIT OR PROOF OF ANY STATEMENT
HE HAS MADE.
If the Times editor will stay with
the original subject and discuss it
in Il decent and respectable manner
| will stay with him until he is
satisfied, but L must decline to dis.
cuss any subject along the line
which he proposes, as | have more
respect for the reading public than
to launch out in TRADE Of vulgarity
such as he has given you In his last
issue. wish to venture the asser.
ton that TIE blackest African on
the face of the globe, with one. half
the education and intelligence
which J. G. Finney processes to
have, would not stoop so low as TO
impose upon his readers such dirty
filth.
Will the readers of his paper
who indorse the reading Of such
stuff by their families please stand
up and be counted?
"Tell them you saw it in the
only"
The only what?
The only paper edited in this
county by a man from Johnson
county, Illinois.
The only indecent, immoral and
vulgar sheet published IN this
county, the only paper which re-
specta BILE men are ashamed to tell
you their families read. The only
paper whose editor is notorious
liar and petty thief. Several good
and respectable citizens have told
me that they have stopped their
subscription to it and l don't see
how any man with due moral re,
spect for his family can afford to
take such paper, and / don't see
how any man possessing human
reason and pretending to represent
the moral, social and educational
interests of the people can have the
gall to send such reading matter
into the homes of decent families.
1t is an old maxim that mans
are a true index of his
character and ifJ. G. Finney hasn't
given you true and correct picture
Of his character it is no use for any
other man to- try.
In conclusion will say that in the
days OF Pharaoh, Moses and Aaron
Egypt had its frogs, lice, flies,
grievous murrain, blains, thunder,
ram, fire, locusts, darkness and the
death,,of the frst-born, but Bollinger
county has It's Green Finney,
