CHADDERD0N f0R MCKINLEY.

Joseph Chadderdon, Judge of the
municipal court of Redwood Falls,
and heretofore life long Democrat
and Populist, authorizes The GA
zETTE to announce that he will sup
port Mckinley and Roosevelt this
fall.
Judge Chadderdon gives as his
reason for this that he is an expan-
sionist He believes that the United
States was forced into righteous
war with Spain, and as fruits Of
victory acquired territory that was
unforeseen before the war commenced.
He contends that is our duty to re-
tain that territory and establish a
form of government that will be
best suited to the people of that
territory.
Judge Chadderdon contends that
Mckinley has pursued the proper
policy in this matter, and that B Bryan
and his followers, by opposing this
policy and outlining another tend
ing to relinquish American sover-
eignity oyer those islands, are pur-
suing an entirely un-American
policy, and one that makes the
party unworthy of American sup
port.

FAULT OF THE FREIGHT.
Coroner's Jury Fixes Blame Over
Death of ~. f. Carroll.

dent at Mankato on Saturday, Sept.
1st, which accident, resulted in the
death of Engineer W. F.. Carroll,
has returned a verdict to the effect
that Carroll came to his death ''by
reason of his engine, of which he
had charge, running into the en-
gines of the freight train standing
on the main line contrary to orders,
and being the fault of theconductor,
D. Reardon, aud the balance of the
crew belonging to said freight
train"
c. F. Bensell of Winona, who was
in charge of the locomotive on the
east bound freight train, gave the
principal testimony at the inquest
He stated that he had no orders as
to passing train at Mankato. He
continues:
"We went on to a sidetrack after
passing the passenger depot. Either
the conductor or brakeman had
charge Of the switch. We had been
on the side track about half an hour
before we saw the train that ran
into US. This half hour was oceu-
pied in switching. When I first
saw the train my engine stood on
the frog of the east side of the
switch. A fagman had been sent
out about FIVE minutes before the
collision took place. The switch
was open to the switchtrack and
there was no one in charge of the
switch at the time. The aagman
was about 400 feet east of the switch
just before the collision occurred.
He was on the C.& N. w. tracks
and nothing was between him and
the approaching train. The passen-
ger train was coming at the rate of
IS miles an hour when I first saw
it. l gave no signal when I saw
the train approach and I saw no in
dication that the passenger train
was slowing up. I left my engine
just as soon as I saw the train
approach and my fireman fol-
lowed me as fast as he could. I
was about 75 or 80 #. from my engine
when they collided and saw the
collision but did not see the engi-
neer or fireman of the approaching
engine, although I was looking right
at them. I could see about 400
feet ahead of the engine. At that
place the view was cut off by the
Omaha freight train on the Omaha
track and on a curve in the track,
l did not hear the whistle nor the
bell of the approaching train but l
could not hear these sounds on ac-
count of the noises in my own er-
gine. When I came back to the
wreck l found the engineer of the
passenger engine lying on the
ground on the side towards the
Omaha tracts. He was conscious
when found him and remained so
while was with him for nearly
half an hour. His name was VIM.
Carroll and I have known him for
l9 years. The fireman came toward
me while I was standing near the
wreck. The Omaha freight stopped
within about 60 feet of the wreck.
| was the first man that came to the
engineers Carroll assistance.
Carroll told me he was caught be-
tween the tank and the engine. The
tank was dented in and the wood
work of the cab was splintered.
Carroll asked me when l first saw
him why we did not flag his train.
| had no time to give signal when
| first saw the train approaching. .

and telegraph Office last Monday ; but
aside from these institutions the white
people gave 1t but little attention.
The colored people of the town and
surrounding country made some show
of celebrating the day as the anniver-
sary of Emancipation with parade ;
but the parade this year was so small
as to be hardly worthy Of mention.
There were large numbers of colored
people in town, however. They stood
about during the day talking to each
other, looking at the goods in the
stores, spending few dollars and he.
having themselves in u manner that
was entirely satisfactory. Aside from
the colored people, barring few
whites who came OH ordinary business,
most of the other visitors to town on
Monday were included in the horse
trading fraterity, which came, no
doubt, from force Of habit on account
of the "frst Monday" There were
not enough people to make the day
profitable to the traders.

but this we are not prepared to say,
for we do not know. However, under
circumstances like these, it would no;
be proper to venture the mention OF
names except we were in possession of
the facts-such facts as can clearly be
established in a court ofjustice.
If there is any good foundation for
the rumors now in circulation in York.
Vile, then the reputation of the town
for law and order is certainly at stake.
We have officers to enforce the laws,
and these officers are generally honest
and conscientious but without the
moral support of the best people of
the community, they can accomplish
nothing. In a case of this kind, the
higher the standing of the offender,
and the more influential his connec-
tions are supposed to he, then the
graver is the situation, and the greater
the necessity for the most strenuous
CO. operation of the law.abiding ele-
ment. But let no man seek to injure
his neighbor, his friend or enemy by
helping to give circulation 10 rumors.
Even the violation of the dispensary
law IS not as low an act as is the act
of circulating injurious, reputation
killing rumors by people who are not
in a position to prove the facts.

WARREN, January l, l900.-New
Year Greeting to The ENQUIRER and
its many readers.
Christmas passed of quietly and
pleasantly without any of the casual
ties common to the season.
Rev. E. F. Scoggins left last Wed.
nesday for his appointment in Horny
county.
Rev. J. C. Stoll, our new pastor,
preached his first sermon at Antioch
on yesterday afternoon. He took his
text from Cor. vi, l, and the sermon
was able and instructive. Rev. Mr..
Stull served as pastor of this charge
sixteen years ago, and we are glad to
have him back again.
Mrs. R. H. Lucas, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. w. Scoggins, is here from
her home iu Howell, Ga, Oh n visit
to her parents and friends.
Mr.. Bradley Newsom had Il narrow
escape with his life a few days ago.
He left Chester at sunset on his re.
turn home, and as he was nearing the
G. c. & N. railroad crossing, the mule
he was riding was frightened by an
approaching train. The mule ran mp
the railroad ahead of the tram, and
Mr.. Newsom, seeing that the engineer
was not slowing up, jumped to save
himself. He fell across the track, and
1t was rs if by hairbreadth that he
was not crushed by the wheels. The
mule kept along the track until it fell
into a trestle where it was run over
and killed.
Messrs. c.. L. McFadden, Green
Workman, J. J. Dunlap, -. Shil-
linglaw and Misses Bea McFadden and
Mary Jane Gaulden went out hunting
few days ago. After hunting nearly
all day and killing only one bird, one
of the young ladies scared up fox.
Mr.. Dunlap gave it Il good sight race
ON foot but had TO call himself off on
account of exhaustion. He declares
that if the other hunters had Joined
him, however, he would have gotten
the brush.
Mrs. J. H. Kidd is quite i'll.
Mr.. J. A. Parish is again very low.

riage of Miss Lottie Kidd, to Mr.. Duf-

TOR the benefit Of the individual who
Il is looking for a rare bargain in Il
Hat, we desire to again call attention TO
what we have. -
When drummers 60 on the road to sell
goods, they take as samples the very best
of their different lines. When the travel, +,
ing season is over, these samples are not
appreciably damaged but being only one
or two of kind, are of no further use to-
the wholesaler. Drummers dispose OF
these samples to merchants at very low
price. In fact they always give capital
values.
We bought two lots of these samples
this year, at low prices. We are able to
sell at low prices. The customer who can
get suited always gets bargain-a much
hetter bargain than if he would buy out
of regular stock. We still have some
rare bargains in these sample Hats, ana
we are anxious to close them out.
We have rare bargains in other lines.

A TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING

THE following is copy Of a circular
l. letter which Is being sent out by one
of the largest mercantile establishments
of the great northwest to their customers
throughout the country on the importance
of keeping insured against loss by fire:
DEAR SIR: During the past few months
the losses sustained by. merchants,
tributary to the st. Louis market, have
been so unusually large and disastrous as
to suggest to us the advisability. of ad-
dressing our customers upon the I'M
PORTANCE of keeping fully insured
at ALL TIMES. Within the past few
weeks, four of our own customers have
lost their stocks and buildings entire,
without insurance, or so nearly so, that
the amount carried was totally inad-
equate to the risk assumed, and in two
or three instances, when the fire came, 1t
was found that policies for considerable
amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely
make a SECOND mistake of this kind, but
the c0mmonest feature of the FIRST, is
the wiping out of the results of years OF
labor and thrift and leaving those who
commit the folly of FAILING TO INSURE,
in position whereby they have to face
the world in a condition far worse than
when commercial life was first begun.
Think of the possibilities of having the
fruits of 20 years of labor swept away
within few minutes, with no other lega-
cy than smoke and ashes and vain regrets
for " hat might have been prevented by
little foresight! To the wide awake,
conservative business man, the expense
incident to keeping his goods fully insur-
ed is Just as legitimate and necessary as
that Of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire.
We may escape the consequences of fail
ure to insure for FIVE, TEN or TWENTY
years, but we are just as certain to be
brought face to face with it, sooner or
later, as we stay in business; therefore,
we say to you, if you are not now in
sured, attend to it before the sun
goes down!
With kindly assurances of regard for
our mutual interests, we are,
Very sincerely. YOUR friends,
