problem. Experience. and ex-
perience alone, settles ques-
tions.
Truth grows not in seclusion,
but in the open field.
The Republican party is now
committed to currency system
which necessitates perpetual
debt.
Populists believe in arbitra-
ton now as much as they did
in 1896, and are as much oppos-
ed to government by injunction
and the blacklist as they were
then, and upon these subjects
they have as much reason for
cooperation with the Democrat
ic party as they had four years
ago.
The fact that the trusts sup
port the Republican party ought
to be sufficient proof that they
expect protection from it. The
Republican party cannot be re-
lied upon to extinguish the
trusts so long as it draws it's
campaign contributions from
their overlooking vaults.
Today we are engaged in a
controversy which will deter
mine whether we are to have
a republic in which the govern
ment derives it's just powers
from the consent of the govern.
ed or an empire in which brute
force is the only recognized
source of power.
In a government where the
people rule every wrong can be
right and every evil remedied,
but when once the doctrine OF
self government is impaired and
might is substituted for right,
there is no certainty than any
question will be settled correct
ly.

one Thing That Won't stop.

Maria Mitchell, who has been called
the Mother Of the Stars" when pro-
fessor of astronomy and director Of
the observatory at Vassar was an in
spring teacher, and, in spite of her
brusque manner and severity, was
adored by her pupils. Every spring
Just before the commencement she
gave a dome party to the girls.
Small tables were placed around the
large telescope in the observatory, and
roses from Miss Mitchelps own garden
frightened the atmosphere. Nonsense
poems were feature Of these break
fasts, and the astronomer was proud
Of her skill in writing them. She was
not without a keen sense of fun, 10
spite Of her constant and absorbing
duties, as was shown by her dryly con-
soling observation to an awestricken
student whom she was leaving one day
In charge of the instruments Of the
observatory. Looking back at the wor-
ried face Of the girl, Miss Mitchell
said:

Sam Hess, managing proprietor Of the

on New Years day as he does by his
customers the year around Yesterday
was no exception to the custom. The
crisp new bills that all the boys got were
Of q. denomination to make the heart glad

new $50 bill for selling the most goods in
the last four months. This is great
winning for Bob, and, though it is pure
velvet, he earned the recognition. What
ever a man earns at Herman & Hess he
gets. which is the other side Of the stores
motto that a customer gets what ne buys.
As a reminder of genuine esteem of en-
ployes for an appreciauve employer the
Good clothing force yesterday cornered
Colonel Hess and gave him fine gold
watch charm bearing the Elk insignia
and legend in filigree and the finest polish
Of blue braze.
The charm is not only the finest Of the
goldsmith's art, but an article of intrin-

return Fred Stuckey and Dick Frank, the

SAID TO BE ALUM POISONING
Serious Cases of Illness Reported
From the Use of Impure
Baking Powder

From the Jamestown, Penn, Tribune.
The poisoning Of the Thomas family, Of
Thomas Mill, Somerset county, four
members of which were reported to have
been made dangerously i'll by impure
baking powder used in mixing buckwheat
cakes, has been further investigated.
The original can with the remainder Of
the baking powder left over after mixing
the cakes was secured by DR.. Critchfeld.
The powder had been bought at a neigh
boring country store, and was one of the
low priced brands.
DR.. Critchfield said that the patients
had the symptoms of alum poisoning. AS
the same kind of baking powder is sold
in many city groceries, as well as country
stores, DR.. Critchfield thought it import
ant that a chemical examination should
be made to determine It's ingredients. He
therefore transferred the package of
powder to DR.. Schill, of this city, for
analysis. DR.. Schilfs report is as follows:
1 certify that I have examined chem
ically the sample of = baking pow
der forwarded to me by DR.. Critchfeld.
The specimen contained alum.
DIR. FRANCIS SCHILL, JR.. Analyst.
Alum is used in the manufacture of the
lower priced baking powders. 1t is a min
eraI poison, and for this reason the sac
of baking powders containing it is in
many cities prohibited.

MUST KEEP OFF ICE
Policeman Employed to Keep Chill
dren Or the lee

There is so much s .ating on Little river
since the cold weather set in, and such
amusement is always accompanied by so
much danger to little ones, that Chief Of
Police Cubbon has put on an extra police
man to patrol the banks of Little river
in order to watch the children and keep
them off the ice. Policeman Ollie Bell
has been assigned to this duty. It is said
that there is not much danger of larger
persons breaking through the ice and get
ting drowned, but little boys know no
better than to skate into air-holes and
other dangerous places, and are very apt
to get drowned officer Bel will have
his weather eye primed for the little fell
lows who attempt to play on the ice.

CANNOT Be FOUND
Whereabouts of Farmer 6. +.
Richardson a Mystery.
MISSING SINCE SATURDAY
Police and Friends Searching
the City for Him.
MISSING SINCE SATURDAY

Inquiry was made at the police station
yesterday for the where abouts of C. F.
Richardson, a man 80 years old. who
lived with his wife and one child, just
this side of Sullivan's dam on Arkansas
avenue, north of the city. The search in
sttuted by the police failed to reveal
anything up to a late hour last night, and
it is feared by his family and friends that
Mr.. Richardson has met with foul play.
He is reported to have been missing since
Saturday, and his disappearance is a mys-
terry and cannot be accounted for by his
friends. The last seen OF Mr.. Richardson.
so far as could be learned yesterday,
was at the corner of Douglas avenue and
Main street about o'clock Saturday
afternoon. He was then preparing to get
on Main street car to go to Seventeenth
street and Fairyiew avenue and from
there he said he would walk out to his
home in the coutry. He chose this man
ner of gOnig home instead Of going out
with neighbor who was to so later il
the evening, because he was anxious, the
neighbor said, to get home before dark
The motorneer does not remember seeing
Mr. Richardson getting on or off the car,
but it is thought he did so, and the opin-
ion has been advanced that he might
have been waylaid or have met with an
accident after he left the car at the end
of the line and while on his way home.
Mr.. Richardson is said 70 be a steady and
upright man who would not willfully
leave his family without their knowledge.
He was in good health and his friends say
there is no cause whatever for him to
take sudden notion to leave the country
as his business affairs are in good shape
He is not a man who would associate
with bad company, and his character and
surroundings make the disappearance ali
the more mystery, and cause great I'M
easiness to Mrs. Richardson.
Unless something more is learned about
him by today a more systematic search
will be made by all concerned.

promise that he would leave town Gla-
