LETTER HRoM w. b. CLERK.

Editor of the Evening Journal
Dear Sir: Now that the result of the
election, of Saturday last, has been an
nounced. ] think that I, as the Union
Republican candidate for mayor OF the
city-the leading candidate of the party
In Its first municipal campaign-should
say something In acknowledgment Of
the generously loyal support given me
during the campaign and at the polls
l desire to personally thank every
voter who voted for me, and every party
worker whose efforts helped to bring
about the result achieved Under the cir
cumstances l regard that result as a
proof or devotion to principle in poll
tics that has rarely been shown In this
state. It Is a result full of hope for the
future of the Union Republican party.
proving as 1t does, the existence of a
vigorous capable party organization
throughout the state.
l desire particularly. to thank the col
Ored Republicans of the city for their
good help on Saturday / am aware of
the difficulties they encountered in
manhesting their fidelity to the ticket of
the Union Republican party, as the rep
resentative of the Republican state party
organization. Their support is highly ap-
.preciated. 1t was generous. 1 am CRATE
ful for It.
In behalf Of my party associates in the
direction Of the campaign. I want to en-
ter an explicit and unmistakable denial
Of the charge, made by Mr.. Horace
Greeiy knowles, thdt the forged letter
issued on Saturday morning, in the in
terest of the so-called Regular Republi-
can ticket was of Union Republican au-
thorship. Mr.. Knowles evidence and
judgment are both at fault. 1 know that
the letter was a forgery, and that it was
issued by my political opponents. The
attempt to make il appear to be anything
else than a deliberately planned scheme
of forgery end deception, to deceive the
voters and catch Union Republican votes
for the opposition candidate, is silly
subtefuge
1 am still anxious to discover the per.
petrator of this fraud. j want to know
who did II, without regard to the political
relations the author. or authors of 1t may
hold TO the Union Republican party or tC
me as its candidate. In emphasizing thi.
statement, i want to say that there Is
now $1,000 on deposit in the Union Ma.
tional lBank, Of this city, to be paid. as 4
reward, for Information leading TO TN
discovery Of the perpetrators of tbi
t, fraud. 1 intend to make such a dlscov
cry II Il Is possible, and am not at al
afraid Of duplicating any of my Unio,
Republican party friends in the fraud
Respectfully,
WILLIAM II. CLERK.

PROTECT OUR FOOD.


Tho doctors inform us that alum is "a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent hy-
glenists, who have given the matter most
study, regard these powders as an evil
that should be suppressed by state ac-
ton. In Minnesota and Wisconsin alum
powders are not permitted to be sold un-
less they are branded to warn consumers
of their true character. while in the Dis
trict of Columbia the authorities have
under the direction OF Congress, adopted
regulations to prohibit the use Of alum in
bread altogether.
Are not the people Of other states, as
well as those of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin entitled to warming of danger
which Is apparently menacing them al
close hand, and Is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection, as the
people of the District of Columbia are
protected, by legislation which is entirely
prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of a statute how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public than
by publishing in the newspapers from
time to time the names Of the baking
powders which they find to be made from
alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife in
designating the alum powders to remem-
Der that all powders sold at twenty-five
cents or less per pound are of this dam
gerous class. Pure cream of tartar pow
ders are usually sold at from forty-hvs
to fifty cents a pound

THE RECORDER REFUSES.
Will Not Obey the Direction of the City
Council.

Recorder Williams declines to
transfer Alexander Peterson's liquor
license fee of 81 900 from the current
fund to the road fund, as directed by
the council, and states that he will
only do so on the order of the court.
He hold that because the council only
made levy of $4,000 for the current
fund it intended that all receipts
aside from the tax levy should go into
that fund. The orders on the current
fund foot up to $4,000 year, and
there is $2S, 900 to come into the fund
from other sources. BE holds that
the council should designate where
this money is to 60 when it makes
the tax levy If it wants it to go into
any other than the current fund.
City Attorney Daily is confident OF
winning on a mandamus proceeding
to force the recorder to transfer the
81 900 in question, but has not yet de-
cided whether to include the city
treasurer In the proceeding with the
recorder.

ELECTIONS THIS FALL.

Although this is what is called an
''off year" in political sense, several
state elections will occur on the 7th of
! November next. The states holding
exections, and the officers they vote
for, are as follows:
Iowa will choose governor, lieuten-
ant governor, judge of the supreme
court, superintendent of instruction,
and railroad commissioner, also mem
bers of the legislature. Fer state Of
fcers there are five regularly nom
mated tickets in the feld-Demo.
cratic, Republican, Populist, Prohibi.
tion. and United Christian.
Kentucky will elect governor and
seven other state officers and legisla-
ture, and the canvass is being aggres-
sively waged, especially because of the
nomination of an independent Demo-
cratic ticket, headed by John Young
Brown for governor, against the regu-
lar party ticket, headed by William
Goebel. There are four other tickets
for state officers-Repdblican. Popu.
list, Prohibition, and Socialist-Labor.

ney general, comptroller, and legisla-
ture, and vote upon proposed amend
ment to the constitution Of the state.

APPEAL FOR HELP.
Petition for the Pardon of Gnstave
Gerstenhauer in Circulation.

Mrs. Helma Gerstenhauer is clrcu-
lating a petition addressed to the state
board of pardon asking for the pardon
of her husband, Gustave GerstenEauer,
who was sentenced to the penitentiary
for eighteen months sentence having
been pronounced the 18th day OF Feb
ruary. Mrs. .Gerstenhauer has three
small children, with no means of sup
port, and it would seem an act OF de-
served charity toward the wife and lit
tie ones that the petition be granted.
The punishment that he has already re-
ceived is sufficient in reformatory
sense, and the fact that his family. now
facing cold winter with no means of
support, together with his great peni-
tence over his wrong-doing should APP
peal strongly to the pardoning board.
Mrs. Gerstenhauer is a frail little
woman, not able to perform any kind
of hard work, and with three helpless
children to look after, her lot is indeed
hard. Those who know Gerstenhauer
best have every confidence that. If par
doned at this time, he will return to his
family reformed man and make
good citizen and a support for those de-
pendent upon him. 1t is hoped, under
these circumstances. that our people
generally will aid the wife and mother
n her efforts to liberate her husband
Ind thus regain the support for herself
Ind little ones that was so suddenly |
aiken from her.

SUIT FOR $4,000.
Frank Fairchild Brings Action Against
the Omaha Road.

Frank Fairchild, a well known resi-
dent of Garden City, has brought an &C
ton against the Omaha road to recover
SO, 600 damages for personal injuries re.
ceived over year ago at Kasota. He
was riding in the caboose of freight
train one night, when the train was
cut in two, The front section came to
a stop before the rear one did and the
result was that the rear section ran in
to the front one, making sharp jar.
Mr.. Fairchild had one arm broken
and his back and head were severely in
jured. His attorneys are D. A. Reed,
of Lake Crystal, and A. E. Clark, of
this city.
