Roy Hamlin and Andrew Weigand,

that Homer G. Woolsey, of the drug
firm of Woolsey & Blaser, who has
been Ill for over five weeks at his
former home in Nevada, o., ia not
yet able to he out of bed.
To guard against further sickness
the Stirling Boiler company obtained
jars Of water from the pump in front
Of the Tracy block, the Land COM
pany's pump on Second St, the Me
Quigg, Hainer and Stirling pumps.
These samples We're sent to the Dear
born Drug & Chemical company at
Chicago, for analysis
The analysis proved that the water
was unfit for use. 1t contains 21a per
cent of ammonia and 1la per cent of
alkali. The report from the chemists
also stated that the water was not
even fit to bath in. The Ice for drink
ing is so per cent worse than the wa
! ter.
Having obtained this information,
the Stirling company is now securing
water for its employees from the big
spring on Mayor McNamara's land in
New Portage.
For weeks hundreds of people have
been boiling their water and the doc
tors say 1t is a good way to avert sick
ness.

American and Britons.

America and England will stand to-
gether in whatever may be necessary
to pacify China or to divide II. The
sailors OF the two nations have been
particularly chummy in foreign ports
whenever they happened to meet In the
presence of men-of-warsmen Of other
countries. The natural instinct is
Great Britain and the United States
against the world. But American IT,
reverence regarding the queen has pre-
cipitated more than one fTacas in dis
tant lands, and may cause temporary
unpleasantness in China. Peter j. Me-
wins tells of an incident that occurred
at Yokohama about the time OF the
nomination Of Mckinley in 1896. Some
twenty-five Yankees and as many Brit
ish tars were drinking in sailors re-
sort In that city, which was tiimsily
constructed Of light poles, paper walls,
bamboo roof and painted screens. News
OF the nomination brought out unllmlt-
ed enthusiasm for everything Ameri-
can, and numerous toasts were drunk to
our institutions.
The British cheers for Mckinley were
no less strenuous than the American,
and all was good fellowship and palaver
until butly gunner from the British
flagship cried: Here's to the Queen,
God bless her." One of the Yankees,
not relIshing this attempt to sidetrack
his country, jumped to his feet with Il
shout--"TO hell with the Queen!" In a
moment the fifty men became a raging
mob, mixed with bottles glasses, mugs,
stools, screens.rugs, tables and jack
knives. Presently the light side-poles
OF the structure were knocked out, ana

pondla for State Democracy.

The Democratic state headquarters
were no sooner established in Charles
ton than persuasive circulars were sent
out appealing for money, anu at the
same time notifying the various nomt-
ness on the state ticket what would be
expected OF them. The Democracy this
year will be quite flush with money, and
with that power under the direction Of
the INSCRIPTIONS McGraw the Republ-
cans will have right smart of n task to
counteract his corrupt methods Of cam
paIgning.
The reason Tavenner was turned
down by the bosses is quite evident
now, as 1t is said that Holt will be
great campaign fund drawer as the at
torney of corporations and railroads.

porations. mainly coal combines in the
southern end OF the state. will at once
manifest a substantial monetary inter-
est in the canvass OF Judge Holt. and

most Importance to the Democracy OF
carrying the Legislature, at only for
the purpose of re-dIstricting the state,
but to secure the election to thu United
States Of John T. McGraw, who failed
to debauch the ballot sufficiently to
make the rifle in 1899. With plenty Of
Doodle and the most daring mampulator
Of the ballot combined the Democracy
presents an ugly front to the Rspubli-
can forces this year. But with all these
vicious elements we do not think the
people will be inclined to bow down
their ears and listen to the words Of the
wicked. 1t is more than evident they
desire no change, and that Mr.. White
will be triumphantly elected governor.

with thelr usual perverseness and
righteousness the Democratic papers
are turning their attention to misrepre-
sentlng the object of the presence of
American troops In China. They in
slnuate all sorts of ultimate RESPONSE

United states from her connection with
the defense Of her citizens and the con-
servatlon of the interests Of the country
in suppresslng the uprising Of the

one OF these journals has the INFINITE
asBumption to declare that In the event
Of the partition Of China the United
states must have q slice, and that the
sequence will be that American troops

long time to come. II does mt occur

those who are In imminent peril.

Some False Hopes.

In connection with the platform to be
adopted at Kansas City number Of
Democrats have been credulous enough
to express their confidence IN Afr. Bry-
ans Observation-Disclosures" and "unself-
ish devotion to party" and entertaining
those beliefs have asserted that there
will be no trouble in obtaining his con-
sent to a modification of the financial
plank This is all father to the wish.
Mr.. Bryan and his followers have de-
clared with great explIcitness that the
Chicago platform must be reafirmed,
and with unmistakeable insstence that
there shall be no monkeying with the ls
to 1 plank-that above all others must
come out in all its pristine glory.
The Hon. Frank Campbell, New
York's member of tho Democratic Ma
tIonal committee. may fool himself but
he cannot fool others by his netterlng
illusions to Mr.. Bryan, by intimating
that the Nebraskan will be any more
plastic this year than he was four years
ago. Mr.. Campbell returned the other
day from u visit to David Bennett Hill.
at Wolfert's Roost, and In the e%huber-
ance of an interview stated that the
hope of the New York Democratssrest-
cd in the probability Of having q plat
form adopted at Kansas City which
would enable that state to cast its elac-
toral vote for Mr.. Bryan. After admit
ting that the PopNlIst candidate would
control the convention and dictate the
declaration OF principles, Mr.. Campbell
refers to Mr.. Bryan as u "broad-mInd
ed man" and says: II believe he will
concede the justice of a financial plank
that will appeal successfully to the
Democrats everywhere" In conclusion
he said:
mo man occupying the position Of
Mr.. Bryan should insist on the reafirm-
alton of ideas. although he may believe
in them, that endanger the success of
his party at this time when there is
such imperative need Of great national
reforms.
IT believe Mr.. Bryan's patriotic, I'M
selfish devotion to the.Democratic cause
and his keen desire for party success
Will alone actuate those who under his
advice will frame the Kansas City plat
form"

A Composite Falsiaer.

Tho turpitude OF the Register never
shone out more distinctly than 1t did
yesterday in It's evasIons. misrepresen-
tatlons and wholly indefenslbla lying.
II sought yesterday to take the Intell-
Rencer to task for pleasant citation to
the fact that three delegates to the Re-
publican national convention from Utah
were former supporters of Bryan. but
who last year confessed the error OF
their ways and were now earnestly advo-
eating the reelection of Mckinley 1t
was not surprising that the Register
used every means to dIscredit the con-
version of these Utah delegates and
minimize their Importance, but It over
did the subject when 1t made the fol-
lowing comments:
Just after the adjournment OF the Re-
nublIcan national convention at Phila-
delphIn. a special telegram appeared IN
some OF the Mckinley organs, to the ef-
feet that Messrs. Wells, Kearns and
Loose, delegates from Utah, former sill
yer men, had each sent n check for $780,
600 TO the Republican national commit
tee in aid of the Republican cause In
the coming campaign. The story ran
around :he country, and created mild
sensation. Then Boss and Senator Marx
Hanna exploded the fake by state,
ment that the Utah delegates named
had not contributed fifty thousand
dollars or ans other sum, and this fact
WA duly printed and commented upon
by the Register. Now, after the In
cident is closed" comes the Intelligent
GER with the solemn editorial assurance
that the money has been paid,and upon
that assertion 1t builds long and I'M
posing editorial under the caption
"Convcrts In the West"
The Intelllgencer gave mo solemn as
surance," either edItorially or other
wise, that "the money had been paid"
From the first report that the Utah del
egates had contributed $4,000 to the
campaign fund this paper questioned
the story printed by the press Of the
country. What the Tnteiligencer did
say was that these gentlemen had guar
anteed that Utuh's contribution to the
cause OF expansion would be double
that given to free sIlver's aid. and this
expression Of the delegates referred to
was twisted around by some enterpris-
ing Journalists, with as much regard
for the truth as the Register. to mean
that each HAD given their checks for
$4,000.
The Register has always had the
reputation Of propagating political lies,
and It is painfully aware Of the fact
that It Is wholly dIscredIted among the
honest, seIf-respecting members of its
own party. 1t was never known in all
