clared for Mckinley

ing letter from ex-Secretary of the

IT notice that one of the morning papers

my position has been frequently misrep-
resented in the public press during the
last few weeks / desire to say that. for
reasons entirely satisfactory to myself, ]
determined long ago not to vote for either
of the presidential candidates. This de-
termination has been well known to my
personal friends and acquaintance ever
since the nominations were made, and, al
though 1t is a matter of no Importance to
anyone except myself. l prefer that there
should be no misunderstanding upon the
subject by the public at large
u. G. CARLISLE"
The paper also prints dispatch
from Grover Cleveland denying that
he ever advised A. b. Farquhar, of
Pennsylvania, to vote for Mckinley
or that he has given any voting ad-
vice.

"My wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
the country gave her up to die, as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better now
than she has been in years, and her cough

ITO the establishment of the American
people and the chagrin of the republicans
of this country, to the disgust of the
great republican journals of our own city
and elsewhere. this trust magnate forced
Mr.. Payne to suppress the bill he had
drawn, to draw another bill embodying just
the opposite principles. He forced con-
gress to pass that bill. and, incredible as
il may seem. he forced the president to
sign that bill. which embodied just the
opposite principles from those he had rec
commended just few weeks before. This
Porto Rican bill legalizes and puts upon
our statute books in the form of a law
every one of the principles that King
George fought for $50 years ago.
IF that bill is right, then our fathers
were wrong. If that bill is right, then
Washington was wrong. Our whole his
tory has been . lie. 1t does exactly for
Porto Rico what our fathers accused King
George OF doing for the American colonies
1t overthrows the American principle of
government, 1t formally adopts and estab-
fishes the European principle of govern
ment. Its passage is the most startling,
the most alarming act of this whole CEN
fury. History furnishes no example and
the annals of man furnish no parallel.
One trust magnate hurries from New York
to Washington and compels the govern
ment OF this mighty republic to change
base on a question that is fundamental in
government.
zone trust magnate is more mighty at
Washington than the voice of 1900 900
people, say 75.000000 people because the
democrats and republicans felt alike on
this question. One of the great repub-
lican papers of our city headed an edi-
torial with these words: Shall 1t be suty

BIG LIFE POLICY.
Mcdonald, the New York Tunnel Con-
tractor, Insured for $4,000 600.

tractor, Insured for $4,000 600.
A dispatch from Providence, R. l.,
states that one of the largest policies
ever written was taken out last week
by August Belmont on the life of John
b. Mcdonald, contractor for the New
York rapid transit tunnel. The
amount of the policy is given at $2,-
100000, underwritten by the New
York Life Insurance Company, as the
principal factor, for term of five
years, and is said to have been Sc.
cured by A. w. Quigg, a brother of
Lemuel E. Quigg, and general agent
for the company in Rhode Island.
The report went on to say that the
annual premium will amount to $780,
600, and that the New York Life In
surance Company had taken 5000, 900,
engaged in writing the rest in various
companies of the United States and
among English companies.
The reason given for this alleged
action on the part of Mr.. Belmont is
that inasmuch as the syndicate of
which he is at the head is the finan-
cial backer of Mr.. Mcdonald, it wants
additional security and financial safe
ty in the event of Mr.. McDonalds
death before the work of building the
tunnel is completed. On this line the
dispatch says:
"The death of Mr.. Mcdonald with
in the limit of the time of the contract
would involve his hackers in serious
financial loss. This emergency has
been foresen by them, and the deter
mination to secure themselves on his
life was the result"

John Gearheart, neighbor, and in
tearing down an old outhouse found
big bag containing gold and silver
money. Mr.. Shuman refuses to
name the amount found, but his
workman state that it will be sew
eral thousand dollars. Mr.. Shu-
mans refusal to state the amount is
put down to the fact that he is
afraid former tenants will ask to
share his find. Many believe it to
be owned by family named Shiver,
who left the old homestead during
1865, when Columbia county was
under martial law.

Miss Elsie Tyson, the heiress of
"Old Tyson" the queer millionaire OF
Australia, who recently died leaving
$13,00O,OO0 to her, is supposed to have
been a niece of "Old Tyson"
For over three-score years the lat
ter had no communication with his
family, and before his death he de-
clared he knew of no living relatives
and would leave no will. In Australia
his lawyers, Wilson, Lawrence Will
son, began at once the search for
rightful heir. In an ancient iron box
in his cabin they found letters from
his mother written sixty-flve years
before. They went to- Scotland and
found that the Tysons had lived on a
farm of the Duke Of Argyle, but that
all of the members of the family had
either died or drifted away. A brother,
John Tyson, was traced to Orange,
N. J., and thence to Evanston, Ill. His
daughter had gone westward years
ago with family Of emigrants, who
setteld in Humboldt Co., Cal, where
they own small farm. On this farm
Wilson, one of the lawyers, who was
searching for the missing heiress,
found Elsie Tyson. She was perform
ing the duties of "hired girl' for her
board and clothing.
Miss Tyson has not yet been put
into possession of her vast fortune,
but that is mere formality. In COM
pany with Wilson she has gone to
Scotland, where her relationship to
Tyson will be further confirmed, and
then she will goto Australia and take
possession of the estate. Before her
departure she said: 81 am going
back to my fathers old home in Scot
land, and shall try to make the peo-
pie in the place all happy, or at least
comfortable. 1t is too bad that with
all my money I cannot give the least
little thing to one of my own people.

Every effort was put forth TO get
out the voters, and the poll was

known to local politicians We're used,
and the partisans on each side

clutched her throat and pressed a
cloth saturated with chloroform to her
face. She sank to the floor uncon-
