FRED \. whitney of Mortified Tells Of
His Qualifications as Congress
siOnal Candidate

Hon. Frank Plumley OF Northfield
has been well known and closely iden-
tilted with the interests of his native
state for many years. Although never
an Office seeker he has from time TO
time been honored with political Of
ices OF responsibility and trust. and
the discharge Of the duties pertaining
to such positions has always been
marked with earnest endeavor. zeal
and ability. The position and stand
me which he occupies today are the
iruit OF his own untiring efforts. In
short, Mr.. Plumley is in every sense of
the word a self-made man. It has been
demonstrated times without number
that such men placed in high positions
are not only safe men. but that they
best represent the interests which are
entrusted to their care, because they
are IN close touch with the people.
In bis chosen profession of law. Mr.
Flumley stands among the ablest law
yers of the state. He never aspired m
OBTAIN rank as a criminal lawyer but
the exigencies of his profession have
brought him prominently before the
public in this capacity. The Randolph

lance of public men OF other states
many of whom are now in Congress
This should count in no small way for
him.
Above all is his long experience and
prominence as legislator. Once he
represented his county in the Senate,
and three times has Brattlehoro sent
him to the House. In each and every
instance he has been among the fore
most. As chairman of the Judiciary
committee Of the House in 1896, he
readily became the acknowledged
leader Of that body. and ut its war SEES
sion in the spring Of 1898, was elect
ed Speaker. Almost without opposition
he was chosen to the high honor by
the House in 1898. and his occupancy
Ofthe Speakers chair mt that session
gave him a reputation that placed him
well at the head. His past legislative
experience and natural tact gave him
much success in shaping and conduct
ing the legislation Of that session.
Surel Y he has served an excellent and
Thorough apprenticeship Tor Congress.
lie is a strong and earnest advocate
and has the happy faculty of making
and entertaining friends, and. withal,
good taste and tactfulness, qualities
which make for much in times like
these, when legislation is shaped and
accomplished in committee
room, Wherever he has been placed
he has discharged his duties we'll and
never has he disappointed his constit-
uents and friends.
lie is man whose convictions are
backed by courage and whose faith is
fearless and who tells what he thinks. |
Col. llaskins is a student, and all
questions affecting the public veal
have been the subject of his research
and his thought. Not unfamiliar

And so his knowledge OF affairs, his |
experience and natural genius and his |

SHERIFF FREEMAN'S
EMPHATIC ANSWER

Denver, Colo, Nov. 26-The dai1ies
this morning publish the answer of
Sheriff Freeman of Lincoln county, to
the letter of District Attorney McAllis-
ter asking him to arrest the lynchers of
John Porter. In his answer, Sheriff
Fireman says:
Under the laws of this state Meth
neither rape nor murder is punishable
by death, nor are rape and murder
combined punishable by death under
the law. and yet every man of common
sense knows who was at all familiar
with the horrible particulars Of the
rape Of Louise Frost and her f1endish
murder, that the citizens Of Lincoln
county would not wait for the slow
processes of the law and the wholly in
adequate punishment that would come
as q result of conviction under the
law.
1.-The men who took Preston Porter
from my custody were citizens Of Lin
coin county, and personally known to
you and to other officials OF the district
and state. The lodging of informations
against them and the trial of them for
lynching the prisoner would be wholly
fruitless, and would impose upon the
county an enormous expense without
any beneficial results whatsoever.
II have no desire to avoid any re-
sponsibility, but do not intend to make
grandstand play in order to set my
self right In the eyes Sf yourself or
Governor Thomas, or those citizens
who were pleased to meet In Denver
and pass resolutions after the lynching
had taken place.
IF that meeting of preachers and
lawyers. politicians and sentimentalfsts
at Coliseum hall had been. held before
the lynching the lynching might have
probably been deferred for period OF
ten or twelve days. You certainly
know that no jury could be impaneled
In Lincoln county. or by change Of
Venue In Douglass county, FL Paso
county, Kit Carson county, or Teller
county, which would convict any one
under any conceivable charge that
might be brought against him Of conf
plicity in this lynching."
After stating that the affair has NO
political Significance, and that he will
not permit the governor and district
attorney to saddle the blame on him,
Sheriff Freeman adds:
when 1t comes to the administering
Of death to brute who first rapes the
child, and then stabs and kicks her to
death, take 1t that true Americans
lose sight of mere politics and remem-
Der only that they are only fathers and
brothers. 1t seems to me we had bet
ter let this episode rest where It IL

BIG FLOODS In
THE OHIO VALLEY

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 26.-Floods
were reported all along the Ohio val
ley last night. In almost the entire
valley It has been raining since last
Tuesday and almost continuously since
Friday.
While no lives are reported lost. the
damage to property is considerable.
The Licking river in Kentucky is
very high and has caused some damage
ON the Ohio side by it's waters rushing
across the Ohio channel and sweeping
the Cincinnati landing. One of the
bridges over the Licking, connecting
Covington and Newport. was swept
away. The lumber yards. mills and
shipping generally suffered great loss.
Pittsburg, Pa. Nov. 25.-The Ohio
river at the dam to-nighr is S3 feet
high and rising RAPIDLY: BY tomorrow
fourteen feet or more is expected.
Five million bushels of coal will be
shipped to Southern points. The Con-
sOlidated Coal company has arranged
for every boat in the port. twenty-five
in number. to go out on this rise, and
the boats coming up with the empties
win be returned as rapidly as possible,
until the 30,O0O,OOO bushels now loaded
are ON their way South.

THE SOAP BUBBLE.

oeometrio Research Has Proved That II
Il = Perfect Sphere.
A perfect sphere presents the least
amount Of surface In proportion to Its
bulk. Apart from geometric proof the
best illustration Of this fact is to be
found in the common soap bubble. The
envelop is perfectly elastic and homo
geneous. and when detached from the
pipe 1t takes the form Of perfect
sphere. because in that shape the least
amount Of film contains the greatest
amount of air. or in other words. 1t
presents the least amount, Of surface
In proportion to its bulk. The early
experiment to prove the incompressi-
bility of water was founded on p
knowledge Of this fact. the knowledge
having been obtained by geometric re-
search. A golden globe was filed with
water and subjected to pressure. the
expSrimenters knowing that II It
could be altered in shape the water
must be compressed" A similar prob
lem has been propounded. How
