Irdenendent Ticket

The Herald-Tribu is much alarmed
about the taxpayers of this county or
ganizing an independent ticket, and
admits that it is talked of all over the
county. The editor blames it all on
the Register, as he usually does when
things don't just go to suit his views.
But after all the Herald-Tribune will
probably look a long time at his tax
receipt and ask himself, why this in
crease? Why have not the taxpayers
OF this county right to show their
hand when, through Encouragement,
negligence by officials have caused
these people to pay more than they
deserve. 1t is these citizens who keep
our county up and from their taxes
the officials are paid who now live in
that magnificent palace on st. Clair
heights, where the taxpayer is patted
on the back and told it will be all
right after while. It's the same old
story and the officials in the last few
years have about worn it out. as the
taxes keep on going up. Before the
next county election there will be some
eye openers shown TO the people.
There is no use of crying down the
will of the people, and If they want an
independent ticket they should have it.
One thing is sure, reform is needed.

An accident occurred at the Benwood
landing of the Bellaire and Benwood
ferry line yesterday morning about ten
o'clock, and consequently a lot of goods
belonging to a Wheeling firm was dam
aged. A delivery wagon owned by the
Simon Baer grocery company was be-
ing drawn ON to the boat when one
of the mooringS broke, so it is learn
ed, and one end of the boat swung
cut The horse had then reached the
deck. AS the wagon sls ped into the
river between the ferry and the land
ing, the harness was quickly cut and
the animal released from the shafts.
The driver jumped from his seat to
the deck of the craft and escaped in
jury.
The crew set to work and the wagon
was soon taken from the water. Near
ly all the goods, with which it was
loaded, were damaged 1t is learned
that the accident was entirely unayoid-
able.

My RESULT FATALLY.
ANNA SWARTZ, a SOUTH SIDE GIRL,
WAS SERIOUSLY HURT YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON
AT AN ISLAND RESIDENCE
She Fell Backward Out of a Second
Story WindSw-The Woodwork to
Which She Was Holding Gave
Way-Her Spine Severely Injured.

Anna Swartz, domestic at the
residence of Marsden l.. Colvig, on
South Penn street, Island, met with
a serious accident while she was en-
gagged in her duties yesterday afternoon
about four o'clock. She fell from one
of the second story windows of the
building, sustaining injuries of grave
nature, and it is feared that she may
not recover.
Miss Swartz was sitting in the win
dow, so it is learned, cleaning the glass
with her right hand and holding to the
sash with her left hand. Without the
least warning the sash gave way and
she fell backwards out of the window
to the ground. The unfortunate girl
alighted heavily on her back and as
a result had her spine severely injured.
She was carried into the Colvig resi-
dence, where she receiyd carful atten-
ton and physician was summoned.
Later Miss Swartz was removed in the
ambulance to her home on Water
street, between Forty-third and Forty
fourth.
The attending physician stated late
last night that the girls injuries we're
of such nature that it was impossible
to determine how they may result.
Miss Swartz is about thirty years Of
age.

chance to do him up. The most plaus-
ible theory is that he was knocked out
for what money he had in his clothes,
which was about $50. 1t is said he
displayed this roll during the evening,
and it is supposed the parties became
frightened and left without going
through his pockets. 1t is also said
he had been drinking, but this could
not be confirmed. So far no clue as to
who the ruffians were has been learned
but probably when the officer RECEIVERS
he can throw more light ON the situa-
ton. While his injuries are serious, it
is not thought that they are dangerous
Officer Tschappatt has only been on
the force a short time, and is man
who bears a good reputation. If the
parties can be found who did this das-
tardly work they will be given the full
extent of the law.

Policeman SIuggcd.


Between two and three O'Clock yes
terday morning Officer Tschappatt en-
tered the First ward hose house and
laid down on a bench in the room to
rest a few minutes, but fell asleep. He
was awakened suddenly to find party
or three or five men near him. His
mace was gone, and he reached for his
revolver, but the man struck him over
the head, knocking him insenSible, and
while in this condition several more
blows were struck all on his head.
One blow cut a serious cash on top of
his head and another cut a large cash
on his forehead. These were the only
wounds, but there were a number of
bruises. When he recovered cons ious-
ness he went to the telephone and
asked for aid. and Officer Son
nefelt went to his assistance. A ply
stefan was called and his injuries at
tended to. The officer was in rather
dazed condition, but said he thought
he knew one of the men, He was
taken to his home, and was resting as
well as could be expected last evening
The man presented a sorry sight, COW
cred with blood and large pool on the
floor and bench where he was lying.
There are many stories out about how
he came to be so brutally beaten up
and the causes of same. Some say he

FIRST SIXTEEN YEARS.
Determine Structure and Physical
Health,

If parents could realize what a crime
they commit in permitting children to
have heavy drugs during their early
life, such drugs. for instance, as coffee,
which stunts their growth, prepares
them for dyspepsia and nervous
wrecks, they would do anything, go TO
any amount of trouble and care, to
change the methods and give their
children the advantages that nature de-
mands to produce perfect specimens.
A sixty year old woman writes: My
oyer-indulgent papa used to say, at the
table, why not let the child have
what she likes; it won't hurt her any,
He referred particularly to my drink
ing coffee, which | was very fond of
as child, He honestly thought it did
mt hurt me, for with his strong body,
apparently without nerves, he was not
consciously affected by coffee, but the
effect on me-a bundle of nerves-was
TO develop restlessness and stunt my
growth
The first effect after drinking coffee
was that of delightful exhilaration and
] felt courage and strength to attack
almost any amount of active work, but
Al lew uOuIS the reaction came,
with misery in my chest, palpitation
OF the heart, and most unbearable
pains in my stomach.
Finally my attention was called to
Postum Cereal Food Coffee and we Sc
cured some of it, 1t was prepared ac-
cording to directions, but breakfast be-
Ing delayed, the Postum got an extra
boiling, which developed all its vir-
tues, and we all fell in love with it
from the first moment The change in
our PHYSICAL health, after drinking Pos
tum, was something remarkable. We
have as delicious coffe as any one could
ask, but ii is a perfectly healthy cot
fee, and the more We drink of it, in
reason, the better we are I am salts
fed that the increasing amount OF
heart difficulty OF late years, among
young people, is directly attributable
to the use OF coffee, and it is a great
blessing to have so safe and delicious

declined the honor. How" said the
skunk, ''are you afraid?" "Very
much so,' said the lion; while every
one who met me for month would
know | had been in company with a

about Henry Ward Beecher's father,

that when young man, in crossing
