Filipino in Foot Rade.
Frank r. Ross of Langdon is in the
city today on his way to visit his parents
in Illinois. Mr. Ross was formerly a
member of Go. H of jamestown and was
one OF the famous scouts on the first
march north with General Lawton. 1t
is told on "Frank" that while he and q
couple of friends we're out alone one day.
a nigger got up about fifty feet away
and began to run. Frank brought his
gun to HE shoulder and fired, but the
sight on the "Krag" was at the fifteen
hundred yard range and the ball flew
high. Ross threw down his gun and his
long legs soon soon covered the interven-
ing ground. The nlgger had gun but
forgot to use it, and WAS compelled TO
return with Frank and help put out the
fire at the bridge where Scout Harring-
ton was shot. Ross was always fearless
and popular.-Fargo Forum.

A Trucker
Is Mckinley, Says General Beatty,
the Once Great Republican
Leader.

"I do not like Mckinley. He is
insincere, the tool of trusts and COM
bines, repudiator of the fundamen-
tai doctrines of the Republican party
an imitator of English methods of
government, an irresponsible and
conscienceless demagogue, who in
his time has voted for l6 to /, advo-
Gated the Sherman law of 1890 and
been on about every side of every
important question. In brief, in
stead of being a leader, he is truck
Ter to the mob while seeking office,
and an abject servant of the trusts
when in office.
"The man who distributes the Of
fees of the country, or influences it's
legislation as reward for party or
personal service, or in return for con-
tributions of campaign funds, is no
less briber than the man who pays
money directly for votes to secure
his election to office. In fact the
former is morally the more guilty,
for instead of using his own money :,
he uses that of the people for his own
advancement, or to pay his political
or personal obligations. l think it
can be readily shown that Mckinley
ard Hanna are guilty of this great
er offense against good morals and
good law. ard for this and other
reasons hope they will be beaten.
and hence trust the Democratic
party will not contribute to their
success by the advocacy of either
dead or immaterial issues.
"Those opposed to the Hanna-Mc-
Kinley political machine should
stand bv the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, the Monroe doctrine and
against the combines which have
cornered all the manufactured pro-
ducts of the country and are now
robbing the people as they were
never robbed before. Under this
banner there is hope of victory.
The issues presented should be few
and of highest Importance. To drag
in all the little things about which
men disagree politically would tend
to confusion feebleness, of effort and
defeat.

That Blue Mark.

In our issue of the 18th inst. we
marked out an advertisement with
blue and red pencil, and a number
of our subscribers have come to us
with inquiry, thinking it was an
indication that their subscription
had expired. We assure our
readers that the mark had no sig-
nificance concerning subscription,
but was for the sole purpose of
canceling that Sheriff,s Sale upon
which the mark appeared. We
run our outside on Monday in
which the sale appeared, and on
Wednesday the suit was settled
and the sale called off, so that we,
having run it on the out side had
nothing left to do but to mark it

Crop Conditions.

The clover harvest is we'll under
way in many sections and the crop is
generally reported very light. Tim
othy and meadows have improved,
except in few districts where the
rainfall has been least, but the great
er part of the correspondent state
that the hay crop must be less than
the average.
The wheat harvest Is we'll under
way in the south. Damage by fly
continues in the north and east, and
practically all reports continue as
unfavorable as IN the past.
The weather has been favorable for
oats, barley and rye, in most places
1t has been too dry in some central
districts, where oats are heading
very short. Barley is being cut and
rye is ripening very fast; the pros
pect is generally good for these
grains.
Corn has made excellent progress
In most sections, though the nights
have been too cool In the north, and
too wet in some northwest counties.
The weather has been favorable
for tobacco and it is making good
progress. Potatoes and truck crops
are doing well except in central and
west central sections where it has
been too dry.
Apples are dropping considerably
In the south, and many correspoD-
dents in the southwestern part Of the
state report that light crop Is In
prospect. A very good outlook is
reported from many northern sec
tions. Raspberries are ripening and
good yield Is Indicated.

Lee Toy Talks of Boxers.
Mayor Of Chinatown Blames Mission
aries for the Trouble.
[Philadelphia Record

Lee Toy, the widely known
"Mayor of Chinatown" is in close
touch with the Chinese capital at
all times. AS the Philadelphia
representative of the Chinese Six
Companies and the recognized head
or "Hein" of Chinatown, his cor
respondence with officials and cit
izens of worth in all parts of China
In constant. He seems to think
that the Boxers should be more
pitied than censured. Here is his
story of the situation:
"Boxer? He very poor; dull;
can't iead; steals. Lots of Boxers
have their heads cut off; blame
strangers; blame e missionaries.
They hate the Catholics. Lots of
Boxers are Masons; some are not.
They don't want any strangers in
China: no railroads, mo street cars,
no lights-nothing new or good.
They are too dull, too dumb, too
low to help themselves or to know
when somebody else helps them.
Boxers don't know good things
from bad things. Boxers believe
everything bad that is new. If
dumb Boxer don't understand it,,
then it's bad. If new man tell
Boxer about something new, Boxer
wants to cut the mans head off.
"Boxer has crazy idea that Cath
olic preachers-all kinds of preach
ers and all kinds of eachers-want
to get hold of Chinese babies to
cut out their eyes. Some nuns
start home for Chinese babies. Box
ers try to kill the nuns. Boxer is
too dumb to know better. Can't
tell Boxer that babies eyes are no
good except baby is alive; cant
take eyes from Chinese baby and
give to American baby, Boxer
! won't learn. He can't learn.
Chinese doctors never cut up dead
people to learn; they tell Boxers
these crazy stories, and Boxer
wont have anything to do with
American doctors in China, Chinese
doctors no good except some that
went to school here and then went
home again.

won't harm him; American bullets
can't reach him, American knives
can't cut him. All nonsense, Box

MI. Bryan
Briefly Discusses the Republican
Platform.

eff the Republicans overlooked
any opportunities to make mis-.
takes in their Philadelphia plat
form, / fail to note them," said
William Jennings Bryan in an in-
terview in the New York Journal,
in which he made his first COM
ments of the campaign on the Re-
publican beliefs and promises.
"The Philadelphia platform is
the best illustration that we re-
Gently have had of the desire of
the Republican leaders to deceive
the people as to their plans" Mr..
Bryan continued. THE only pO-
sition taken in the platform which
is positive and free from ambiguity
is the declaration in favor of the
gold standard, but even in this
case the failure of the platform to
commend the effort made by the
president TO secure bimetalism
shows that the platform on this
question in 1896 was a fraud.
THE trust plank means nothing
when taken in connection with the
fact that there Is no condemnation
of trusts that have grown up un.
der the Republican administration.
"On Imperialism there Is no def
mite policy outlined. While every
intelligent reader of the nations
press knows that the administra.
ti0n intends to foster a colonial
policy, patterned after the policy of
European monarchies,the platform
does not ayow honestly and can
didIy the party's purpose.
"While the military spirit was a
noticeable feature of the conven-
tion, the party did not indorse the
presidents demand for a standing
army of 100000 men.
"One Of the noticeable features
OF the platform was that no men,

forth In the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, although the meeting

Mckinley Must do the Winning.

If the Mckinley and Roosevelt
ticket is to win, the victory will be
won by Mckinley. If success for
that ticket depended on the record
of Mr.. Roosevelt and the evidence
therein found of his capacity to
fill the presidential Office, it would
be unfortunate for the party. AS
a member of the civil service COM
mission Mr.. Roosevelt was dis
tinct disappointment. He was
straining at gnats in the postoffices
of cities in the West while camels
we're going down the .hroats of
the commission in the departments
here in Washington. AS assistant
secretary of the navy he found it
impossible to confine his efforts to
their proper sphere. The war with
Spain threw him into a state of
mind bordering on hysteria, and
he rushed to and fro between his
Office and the White House giving
advice that the president felt con-
strained to reject.
For example, Mr., Roosevelt was
one of the most persistent advo-
Gates of the recognition of the al
legged Cuban republic. But for
President McKinley's stern, un-
bending opposition to that course
we should have gone into Cuba to
play second fiddle to Cuban gener-
ais and the rabble which they led
AT later period Mr.. Roosevelt
urged, in season and out of season
that we should send our fleet across
the Atlantic to look for Cervera',
ships. His notions of war policy
were as tickle as the weather, and
his departure from Washington
relieved the administration from
what had grown to be an affective
dispensation. His record in Cubs
includes the yellow fever round
robin. No one will impeach hi'
courage or patriotism, but thos,
excellent traits do not entirely
qualify man for high Office ant
great responsibilities.
Mr.. Roosevelt's fantastic cam
paign for governor in the fall O
1898, when he toured over the state
with a squad of the discharged
Rough Riders, he and they arrayec
in the uniform they wore in Cuba
may have been one OF the reasonl
why he dropped quarter of a mil
lion of the Mckinley plurality, re
ducing it from 26s,OOO to 1000.
We repeat, If the Mckinley ant
Roosevelt ticket is to win, Mckin
ley must do the winning.-Wash

Tells of the Small POX Situation In
Ward Township.

BLATCHFoRD, o, June 18, 1900.
Perhaps every son and daughter
of Adams race residing at Glouster,
Jacksonville, Buchtel, Logan, Mel
sonville and New Straitsville
knows nov where Ward township
is, In this wayback neck of many
woods and combination of hills,
hollows and coal we are pestered
with smallpox. 1t is a fact and
not only scare. But If one were
to believe one forth of what he
hears he would be sent to Judge
Riason for permit to enter the
Athens institution for the unbal-
anced in the upper story. 1t would
seem that the above named NUM-
cipalities must have considered us
as ignorant as we look or that we
had no regulations as to the health
OF our community, tor they all
quarantined against our entering
within their bounds. We want to
enligten them by saying that we
have had an organized Board of
Health in this township for years
and that on information that small
pox was in our midst, we provided
o fine country seat with six well
furnished rooms, trained nurse
and trained cook from Columbus,
and physician and everything
needed for the care and comfort OF
patients and people within twelve
hours time. Where is there a
health board In Ohio that has done
better? Furthermore every house
is under strict quarantine where
smallpox is or has been or been ex.
pected. Patients are doing we'll
and no deaths. In all to date there
have been seven cases. We desire
further to say to the above named
beings that if they had known theil
business as we'll as we have tried
to attend TO ours, they would not
have taken the action they did for
it was mere matter of moment
to throw their quarantines higher
than the heavens. 1t is well and
proper for every village and town
ship to guard against contagiou;
diseases, and if the devlish senti
ment of some people was replaced
with block of good common sense
and knowledge of hygienic laws
our community would fare better
For instance, if hobo comes along
some charitable (?) person mus
give crumb or bed in order tC
have a "clear conscience" ETC., etc
Seven times out of nine that same
person don't pay the preacher 9
cent, gives nothing to the charity
hospital, sends no money to the
heather, nor even thinks of the
poor WIDOW neighbor. The origin
OF this evil in our midat is traceable
to saloon in Murray City where 8
hobo was employed to pound the
keyboard of an old piano in order
to attract attention and swell the
capacity of the customers. 1t is
another case of hobo and saloon
Music hath charms, hobo has 6
place to "roost," the saloon has 8
rush and the vicinity has smallpox
"a good combination but a poor
mix to purchase and take home
We are opposed to expansion ia
this respect and we propose tc
make hot campaign of thirty days
in which to entirely eradicate this
epidemic. lf the people will help
it can be accomplished, but If they
will and must have smallpox they
must suffer its effect. In the mean
time hope the outside public will
trust us for efforts already made
and not bag us up bodily and throw
us in the sink.
