The Water Question Reviewed

one at Parks who wa brough in
from Robinson ca yon and treated
at the ALBANY block. The malaria
cases were. one at McKee's. Miss
Brown. daughter OF the sheriff. and
one at Cages. DR.. Newland has
seven, namely: Miss Trip. two at
Hadgerdore's, one at Mrs. John
SCOTS. Roy Randall. one At Mrs.
Wright'- and one at Givens. DR..
Bean also has new case which
came from Ro-lyn, small child.
Everyone OF these people. with the
exception Of Mrs.. c. t. Wheeler.
are using water from wells. Mr..
Wheeler told me in the presen e OF
witne.se, that they had boiled their
drinking water for the last TWO
months. and Dr. Mahan. who i
treating the case with Dr.. Bean told
ne that he did not think the fever
came from the drinking water.
Now. as to Walter Bowers: He
had a bad case OF the mulups and
his system was run down: but he
had been boarding at Mrs. Schneb-
Tvs. the home Of the editor Of the
Localizer. The writer sold this
house (the Helm at the head OF
Pearl street. to these parties about
one year ago and had the contract
to put the plumbing in repair. In
doing this three sewer pipes had to
be replaced This sewer came from
the sink and closet. The stencil
was so strong in digging them out
that our man at one time refused
to 90 on with the work. The broken
sewer pipes were near the well and
the ground was so saturated that it
was still "mushv." Shortly after
this the Somebody's pumped out
this we'll and have been getting
their drinking water from it ever
since We think this is what gave
the editor the night mare when he
saw the water bogy" and wrote the
article OF the 23rd.
We acknowledge that cells and
sometimes trout come out OF our
pipes and that they will live all
winter in the dead ends, but this is
our strongest argument as the
purity OF the water. Neither OF
these. even the cells, will live twenty.
four hours in the editors we'll.
We contend, and we think a ma
.jority OF the physicians will bear
us out, that the only good water in
the city OF Ellensburg today is that
coming from the pipes OF the Ellens-
burg Water Supply company, and
that this water is as good as is sup.
piled any in our fair state.
II the editors gray matter wants
work, why does he not turn his
guns toward the sanitation of the
city? 1t is we'll known fact that
the city is fast filling up with fes-
tering sink holes and that a great
many people are still drinking
water from "holes' in the ground
dug but a few feet away.
The writer can also tell him a
few more things to shoot at but
reserves those for another time.

Plague of kissing Bugs.

1Jr. j. Morrison, of Washington,
declares his belief that the kissing
bug is Philippine importation.
He thinks that the eggs were brought
back to this country in baggage and
wearing apparel.
The doctor states further that the
bite of this bug is far more harmful
than impregnations of formic acid,
and that if cold weather does not kill
the pestifereus insect the country is
likely to be visited by a plague that
will make any one of the old Egyp-
tian visitors look like 90 cents marked
down from 30.

Serious Runaway Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon as Mr.
Frank Watts, of Baltimore, accom-
panied by Misses Annie Sincell, of
Washington, and Margaret and Ger
trude Sincell, of Oakland, were driv-
ing in q trap up Second street the
neck yoke strap parted and allowed
the tongue to drop to the ground
This frightened the horses and they
started to run away. Mr.. Watts took
the lines from the hands of Miss Mar
garet Sincell. who saved herself from
serious injuries by springing to the
ground. Mr.. Watts held manfully to
the reins but the tongue of the car
riage kept prodding into the ground
which frightened the horses all the
more and made them unmanageable
They ran up Liberty street to the
town scales and making a short turn
the trap was overturned, throwing
the three remaining occupants into
the deep gutter where the horses
succeeded in breaking away from the
wrecked vehicle. Mr.. Watts received
a severe cut on the back of his head
which was dressed by Dr. Ravenscroft,
whilst Miss Annie Sincell, consider
atty bruised about the arms and
body, was attended by DIR. Henry
McComas after she had been trans
ferred to the home of her aunt, Mrs.
Leah F. Sincell, and where she was
confined to her bed for several days
after the accident. Miss Gertrude
Sincell made a miraculous escape
without even a bruise or a rent in
her clothing.

INGERSOLL DEAD.
Tho Famous Agnostic Dies Suddenly at
His Home.

NEW YORK, July 21.-ColoneI Rob
ert q. Ingersoll died at his home
Walston- On-Hudson, near Dobbs Fer
ry, to-day. His death was sudden
and unexpected and resulted from
heart disease from which he suffered
since 1896. In that year during the
Republican national convention, he
was taken i'll and had to return home.
He never fully recovered from the
attack of heart disease and was under
the care of a physician constantly.
For the last three days Mr.. Ingersoll
had not been feeling well. Last night
he was in better health and spent
portion of the evening playing bill
lizards with Walston H. Brown, his
son-in-law and private secretary. He
seemed to be in better health and
spirits when he retired than he had
been for several days.
Colonel Ingersoll spent the morning
swinging in hammock and sitting
on the veranda with the members of
the family. He said he was better
and had no pain. At 1890 o'clock he
started to go up stairs. On reaching
the head of the stairs Colonel Inger-
soil turned into his wife's room. He
seemed in good spirits then. After
,,lisiking for q few minutes Colonel
Ingersoll crossed the room and sat
down in rocking chair. He leaned
his head on his hand which rested on
the back of the chair. Mrs. Ingersoll
asked him how he was feeling and he
replied "Oh, BETTER
These were his last words. A sec
ond after they were uttered he was
dead.

For County Treasurer.

In to-day's issue of THE REPUBLI-
CAN will be found the announcement
of Mr.. John Close. of near Mountain
Lake Park, who seeks the nomina-
tion of County Treasurer at the com
ing Republican Nominating Conven-
tion. Mr.. Close has been a resident
of this county for 21 years and has
always been an ardent Republican
and supporter of the ticket. BY occu-
patton he is a successful farmer and
dairyman. He was born in Tucker
county, West Va, 40 years ago. He
is competent, if nominated and
elected, to fill the Office to which he
aspires with credit to both his party
and to himself.

Advertising and Business Extension.

1t would be an almost ineXplicable
anomaly in the mercantile world if
advertising should not keep pace with
the expansion OF domestic trade. In
fact, it may be asserted as an estab-
lished truth that systematic adver-
tising, presented to the public through
a safe and popular newspaper medium
is one Of the most potent agencies by
which the enterprising tradesman
achieves success amidst tireIesS com
petition. \ windmill may be ever so
big, but without wind it will pump no
water and grind no grain. \ mer-
chant may have Il very extensive es-
tablishment, but if he does not ad-
vertise he cannot secure a profitable

REINFORCEMENT of the Federal
army in the Philippines is proceeding
at rapid rate. and within the next
six weeks the full number of soldiers
required for military operations in
that quarter of the world should be
available for duty. Since June 25th
last when the first considerable body
Of recruits and regulars sailed from
San Francisco for Manila in response
to the recent request of Gen. Otis for
fresh troops, there have been sent out
more than $500 enlisted men in all
branches of the regular service, and
the three transports yet to sail during
the current month will take about
$500 more. With renewed force,
and with such commanders in the
field as Lawton and Wheeler, the task
of our troops should be materially
ightened during the forthcoming fall
campaign against the insurgents

The Republican Party and the People.
y beautiful illustration of the mud
diness of mind which characterizes
the average demagogue of to-day is
furnished by an agitator named Law
renee Gronlund. In this country, -
says GrOnlund, we have on the one
side a party with wealth and brains,
the Republican party, but with no
good will toward the masses. On the
other side we have the Democratic
party, which has absolutely no brains,
but which has good will toward the
masses. GrOnlund's characterize
ton Of the Democracy is little more
favorable to the party than the judg-
ments usually passed upon it. The
Democracy has often been stigma
tized as the organized ignorance and
vice of the country" 1t has good
will, but no sense, according to Gron-
lund. 1t means well, but doesn't
know.
Gronlund's assertion that the Re-
publican party, with all it's wealth
and brains, has mo good will toward
the masses,n has comical sound.
Good will toward the masses-the
defense of the people against the
slave oligarchy Of the Democratic
party who wanted to spread their
system of bondage through the terri
tories and reduce the workingmen of
North, as they already had those Of
the South, to the condition of serfs--
was the cardinal principle on which
the Republican party was founded.
The Republican party accomplished
its object, but in doing this it, of
course, had to overthrow the Demo-
cratic party, and to keep it over
thrown for a quarter of a century
The Republican party enacted q
homestead law, which the Democracy
always opposed. and which Demo
cratic president vetoed when passed
at one time by Republican votes.
That act, which a Republican con-
gress passed, and which Republican
president signed, has provided free
homes for millions of persons in the
past third of a century. 1t has ma
terially aided in peopleing every state
from the Alleghenies to the Pacific,
and from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Canadian line. In the entire hun
dred years of the Democracy's career
that party never gave any aid to the
people which will bear an instant's
comparison with the splendid service
which the Republican party rendered
to human freedom and civilization in
each of those magnificent achieve
ments.
This socialist agitator is far astray
on matters of American history
What Gronlund says about the De-
mocracy's stupidity is, to be sure,
correct enough, but nobody has ever
heard, except from the mouths of
demagogues like Bryan and Debs,
that that party ever showed any
good will toward the masses. 1t is
clear that Gronlund never heard at
all about the slavery conflict or the
free homes issue, or if he did some
body must have told him that the
Democracy was on the opposite side
The Republican., 1899-07-27

from that on which it fought. If the
Democracy had succeeded in its
slavery conspiracy of 1S54-61 all the
territories of the union would have
been open this day to human bond
age, and the cause of free labor would
have been hampered in all of them.
If the Democratic plot of 1S56-60 to
keep free lands out of the hands of
the people had succeeded, half a
dozen or more of the states now in
the union would still be in the wilder
ness. The population of the country
would be many millions less than it
is to-day, and the country's prosper
ity and prestige would be immeasur-
ably below its present line. If the
Republican party had never done
anything else for the people than
what has here been cited, these two
splendid achievements alone would
give it a place in American history
high above any rank which any other
party in the country's politics has
ever attained.

Governor Lowndes and the Public Schools.
Gov. Lowndes said some things in
his address before the State Teachers
Association at Ocean City last week
which should win for him the hearty
commendation of all citizens who be-
lieve in the perpetuation and uplif
ing of our public school system. Ia
called attention to the fact that III
the year 1898 $2,5O0,OO0 was expended
for public school purposes and that
there were 225,000 pupils being
trained and educated by 1900 teach
ers. While these teachers, he said,
were practically shaping the lives
and morals of the children entrusted
to their care, they received the mea-
gre average stipend of $3.50 a year,
and many great deal less.
There is no reason" said the Gov
ernor, why Maryland should not pay
better salaries TO public school teach
ers. The State taxes for public school
purposes for the year 1898 amounted
to $4,000, the largest ever distribu-
ted. With the State growing and
increasing assessments, the amount
distributed will soon be $500, 600, and
in Il little while longer $1,000,000,
which will admit of proper compensa-
tion for teachers.
AT present the salaries are SO low
that the State is losing some of it's
best instructors, who are being drawn
from us by the more liberal induce
ments of other States for the same
work, and unless we pay living wages
we are liable to fall behind the edu-
catiOnal progress that is being made
in other parts of the country"
The Governor deplored the lack of
permanency in the tenure of Office
Of teachers, caused by low salaries,
the mutations of politics and the ex-
ercise of personal influence. He took
a stand against the annual examina-
tions to which the profession is sub
iected. Instead of this system, he
thought that it would be better TO
have requirement that persons who
aspire to teach should be graduates
of some normal school, college or
university, and after a thorough and
satisfactory examination had been
passed by applicants, appointees
could rest assured that they would
not be annoyed by periodical re-ex
aminations. He concluded by paying
a tribute to the ability, fidelity and
progressive spirit of the present corps
of teachers, and said that no law
should be enacted which would de-
prive any one of these of their posi-

KY, when they saw he was turning

he was advised to try Electric Bitters,

Mr.. Selden f. Flowers, a wearer of

announcement of his candidacy for
the House of Delegates in this issue
of THE REPUBLICAN. Mr.. Flowers
at the age Of 1S years enlisted at
Clarksburg as a member of the 18th
West Va. Vol. Inf. and served his
country faithfully for three years.
during which service he contracted
rheumatism which has left him in
such condition that it has almost
completely incapacitated him from
following his chosen trade. He is 50
years of age and has been resident
of the county since 1872. Always
Jealous for the success of the Repub-
lican ticket he has been an ardent
worker in the party and now asks for
the nomination.
