Hon. Fred Townsend for State SEN
af0r

hOu. creQ IOWnSenQ 1Or SCaLe SEN
ator.
The democrats and populists of the
Marion Monroe district have unani-
mohsly nominated Fred Townsend, late
chairman of the democratic state com
mittee, for state senator. Mr.. Town
sends election is practically assured,
and he will prove valuable man to
the state in the upper house of our Cen
eral Assembly. The writer made the
acquaintance of Mr.. Townsend early in
the Bryan campaign of 1896, and will
ever feel grateful to him for his assist
ance in that memorable contest. We
like Mr.. Townsend because he is be-
lever in mankind; because he believes
that human rights are more sacred than
property rights; because he believes
that the people should retain control of
their political campaigns, pay the ex-
penses incurred, and have voice in the
management of affairs after the cleo
lions are over; because he deprecates
the baneful influence in politics of great
corporations and aggregations Of wealth;
because he opposes the acquisition OF
territory by conquest and everything in
the nature of alliances with European
nations.
MI. Townsend is man of good judg-
ment, sterling integrity, positive opin-
ions, yet an agreeable associate. We
predict that he will become leading
member of the senate, and that his voice
and vote will be potential on the PEG.

Instantly the tramps drew revolvers
and fired. The brakemen fell wounded,

tramps threw the wounded victims un-

were terribly mangled

What Does Capt, Garter Knowp


For several years prior to 1896 Capt.
~. M. Garter had charge of extensive
government Improvements in the har-
Dor OF Savannah, Georgia. During the
year 1896 it was discovered that through
corrupt practices on the part of Carter
the government had been defrauded
out OF the enormous sum OF Ss2,OOO.OOO.
Carter was tried by court martial, found
guilty on every charge, sentenced to
dismissal from the army and ordered to
pay fine nd serve term in prison.
All this he richly deserved, but for
some mysterious reason the president
shielded him from punishment. Carter
undoubtedly has knowledge of crooked
work on the part of some one, or per
maps several, high in authority in the
Mckinley administration. Instead of
permitting the sentence of the court to
be carried into effect, President McKin-
ley had the case sent for review to an
"outside lawyer, an unprecedented
proceeding. Ex-senator Edmunds was
selected to review the case, and he re-
ported that the finding of the court
martial was fully sustained by the evil
dence. This it would seem should
have removed all possible doubt from
the mind of the president, unless occult
Influences were at work to further
shield the culprit from punishment.
After Mr.. Edmund's report was re-
ceived the president resorted to another
unprecedented proceeding. Instead of
permitting the sentence of the law to
become effective, he ordered the papers
semitic the attorney general and they
are there at this time.
The Chicago Record commenting
editorily upon the presidents conduct
says:
The case has been the most remark
able OF its kind in the history of the
government. The extent of the frauds
was unexampled, while their character
was OF fiagrancy never before attempt
go. But the most extraordinary fea-
lure ofthe whole matter is the appar-
ent purpose of the president to find for
Garter ioophOle of escape.
What does Carter know that unnerves
the arm of the Nations chief executive?
1t very evident that political influences
are responsible for these unprecedent-
ed proceedings. Was Carter merely a
sieve through which millions of govern
ment money was shook into the hands
of republican campaign committees?

five. There is a fair. even stand of
corn, promising the biggest average in
fifteen years. Potatoes will run 100 to
100 bushels to the arce. There is
good crop of barley, big crop. Owing
to the great amount of dew its color Is
poor, being too yellow for the breweries.
Rye promises fair yield of good quail

before harvest.
The hay crop is exceedingly heavy,
the heaviest ever known in this sec

will be ready for cutting in two or
three weeks. The young clover is in
bloom and the young timothy is two
feet high. This will be the first after
