Albert q. Chamberlain.

Albert o. Chamberlain died at his
residence in Darlington, Wis, July G.
1899, after a short illness. He was or
on the street and about his business
apparently in his usual good health
on Saturday, July |. and the next
Thursday he passed to his reward.
Mr.. Chamberlain first saw the liph,
in West Sparta, Livingston county
New York. IN the beautiful Genesee
Valley, on January Bird, 1889. When
he was twenty-thrce years old he went
to California, then the center of at.
traction for energetic and ambitious
young men, and remained there about
four years, returning to New York in
1857. In June, 1850, he removed to
Wisconsin an purchased farm near
Fayette, Lafayette county, In 1867 he
moved to Darlington and engaged in
mercantile business with Mr.. Sheldon
w. Pierce; but the close confinement
of trade was irksome to him, SO he
soon sold out his interest in the store
and returned TO his farm, In 1874 he
bought farm in Darlington and thus
was able to give his children the bene-
fit OF the city schools while still carry
ing on his chosen occupation Of cult
waiting the soil. A few years ago he
bought residence in the city, where
he passed the remainder of his days.
y Mr.. Chamberlain was chosen
one of the directors of the First
National Bank of Darlington on its
organization In 1884 and served con-
tinuously in that capacity till his
death. He was vice president of the
bank since 1894.
Mr.. Chamberlain was a man of
strong convictions and not easily
turned when he had once decided what
was right His Judgment of men was
accurate and his integrity was unim-
peachable. He was loving husband
and and an affectionatc father, giving
his family all the advantages that
were within his reach. He was buried
with Masonic honors July 9Th, by
Evening Star Lodge, of which he had
been II member for twenty years.

There are several other lands that
will be opened up in the near future
and made paying mines.
In consequence of the boom in the
mining industry, there are many
strange faces in our village and they
are being added to every day. Houses
cannot be rented here for love or
money, and several new houses are
going up, and our business men have
a smile on and are very busy. The
Linden Cornet band give three night
entertainments each week for the edi-
foatiOp OF our citizens. Some OF our
old veterans are holding their own
and visit William GARDENERS park
every day and indulge In the great
national game OF dominoes.
We have two saloons who are reap
Ing good harvest, also two fine
churches which do not seem to have
very large harvest. We have one
who mends solcs, aud have nine or
ten stores carrying a great variety OF
goods, one butcher, two barber shops,
and one manufacturers OF rag carpet,
and our cigar manufacturer hhs clos
ed out. Levi w. Pollard with Bert
Harker conduct law Office, and the
press Is represented by j. w. Taylor,
who publishes a weekly also monthly
paper.
The chief product OF our mines Is
black Jack which amounts from 10 to
20 tons daily. Wages range from 81
to " % per day to $ll per month.
Drybone and lead ores are not much
sought for here, and there is no mar
kct for sulphur ut present.
We have one fine opera hall owned
by Thos. Hicks, and you will have TO
travel many miles before you will
find as thriving n little mining camp
as Linden. j Joseph II. Goldsworthy

IL the breeder of trusts, we cannot see
how they will have any advantage
over the republicans on this issue.
The Louisville Courier Journal
We believe tho Immediate danger OF
the country and tho people arises out
of the prevailing Capitalization and
consolidation of capital, That this
consolidation and Capitalization Is the
outgrowth of our unequal system of
taxation. That the tariff Is the parent
of the trust. And, therefore, we adj
vocate the complete ovorhauling of
our system of Internal and impost
taxes; and, II need be, constitutional
amendment to enable the congress to
levy an income tax urged not merely
by It's own Inherent Justice, but by the
increasing wants OF the government.
On these lines, and ON none other,
that conflict with them, we may build
~ hope of Democratic success in the
national election Of 1900.

The president Of the United States
voted in Canton yesterday, giving but
one vote, the same as any oth.r plain
citizen, and no more. This shows equal
ity of the citizens. one with another.
Why then should special privileges,
franchises, trusts, etc., be granted or
allowed? Will not true-blue Ameri-
cans see this and help to amend the
present conditions? Why should not
rational common-sense men get to-
gether and pull together to remedy mat
ters? The millionaires have no

net EARNINGS
Not Just What Was Expected
But Under the Circum-
stances Are High.

Cleveland Leader: The Wheeling &
Lake Erie has just issued statement Of
its finances for the month Of September,
which shows that the road is keeping
the cost of operating down to the bot
tom notch. During the month of Sep
tember the road was operated for 67 per
cent. The gross earnings of the road
were $233, ,604.34 and the operating ex-
penses were $157, ,296.16, which leaves net
earnings to the amount of $76,30S.13.
This is hardly up to the estimates as
made for the first three months of the
operation of the road, but still the per-
cent is very low as compared with the
cost Of operating most roads. At the
same time that the above statement
was made another was issued which
shows the earnings of the road from the
first Of July and the last of September.
These show gross earnings to the
amount of 5000, ,949.32, operating expenses
$S1S,S73.O3, which leaves net earnings of
$222, ,O76.29. From this amount must be
deducted the taxes, the, fixed charges,
and the interest on the first preferred
stock, amounting to .$147, ,271.02. This
will leave a urplus of $74, ,80627 to be
applied to the second preferred stock!
The last report, or that for the period
between July and September 30, is
more interesting than for the month of
September alone, for it shows that the
per cent Of the earnings it required to
operate the road is less than for the sim
gle month. The figures show. that the
cost of operating the road for those
three months was approximately 63 per
cent Of the gross receiTts.

turns have never been so slow In coming
in as at the present election. Up to the
present hour nothing is absolutely GER
tain except that Stark county has gone
Republican by a plurality Of which
every voter may be proud.
The Independent ought to arrange
with tonic company Of some sort for
energy enough to get somebody from its
office out onto the streets and get a
copy of the o'clock edition of the
News-Democrat, and get posted before
going to press. 1t is observed by a
glance at the Repository, in our home
field, that it is getting a copy of our
o'clock edition, and our lethargic west
end brethren should profit by this mag
nificent example.
