Ring Master Taggart.

Hon. L. Taggart in answer to a half
column reply to an attack made upon
the editor of this journal consumed
about two or three columns in last
weeks Independent to say, among
other things we charged, that our as
sertion that he has not been Repub-
lican in twenty years was true, accord
ing to his own story. Mr.. Taggart no
doubt in his despair will be happy (?)
when the honest voters register their
verdict on the 9Th of November, but it
will not be Lincoln (?) Lew that will
represent this Congressional district in
Congress. Our space is too valuable at
this time to devote column or two to
answer the silly stuff that he inflicted
upon the readers of the Independent
last week. If Mr.. Taggart is happy
we are glad of it.

LINCOLN's WARNING TO LEW.
Sudden Death.

Burton Easterbrooks, aged 80 years,
died at the residence of his mother in
Emporium, Tuesday morning. De-
ceased has been sick for some time
with typhoid fever, contracting the
disease in the bark woods of Elk coun-
ty. His death was great surprise to
his friends, who supposed he was i'm
proving. "Bert'', as he is known by
our people, was quiet, unasuming
young man and industrious. He was
a member in good standing of Empo-
rum Lodge, No. 984, l. o. o. F., and
has always been an active and faithful
member. The funeral will take place
this Thursday afternoon at p. m.
at the Baptist Church, Rev. o. S. Metz
Ter officiating.
The family of the deceased have been
sorely afflicted in the loss of this excel
lent son and brother, and they have
the sympathy of our citizens.

That Emery rIeetiup.

The aEmery meeting at the opera
house last Tuesday evening was we'll
attended and cordial reception ten
dered Hon. G. w. Stone and Capt. f.
X. Mayo, who addressed those in at.
tendance on "Quay' and ''Sibley." w.
ii. Howard presided, as usual, but he
cut his address short, having covered
the entire political field in his former
effort. Hon. G. w. Stone, for whom
we have the greatest respect, per-
sonally, has made a great mistake
and his friends in this county, who
have always supported and voted FOR
him in the past, regret to see him MAKE
this awful blunder. As far as we are
able to learn we do not believe the
meeting changed the opinion of one
voter.

That First Fork Letter.

Evidently the Independent don't like
the intimation made by the First Fork
correspondent of the PRESS that some
one of the candidates shipped beer to
the voters on the First Fork The ar
ticle in the PRESS did not use names.
The editor of this journal personally
"boiled down" the article and does not
allow personalities to appear in the
PRESS We have treated all the candi-
dates fairly and have just as much re-
gard, and possibly more than the editor
Of the Independent ever had, for either
Mr.. Blumle or Mr.. Moore.

Mr.. Sibley's platform is very simple.
Once a Democrat, he realized his error
and joined the party which made him
wealthier than he was before. Person
ally he was made wealthier than he
was before because the rest of the
American people prospered with him,
and-well, the other reasons will count
as reasons by -and-by. Meanwhile he
is willing to meet his opponent on the
stump, and his opponent is not willing
to meet him. Under which flag would

Obituary.
ELIZA B. DODGE.

Mrs. Eliza b. Dodge departed this
life Saturday, Oct. goth, 1900.
She was born in Orange county,
Vermont, March 9th, 1870, making her
age at the time of her death 80 years
and seven months. She had been in
poor health since early spring, being
confined to her bed through all the
warm weather, and many times SEEM
ingly at the point of death. But after
the cooler weather of fall, she rallied
so that for several weeks she had been
about the house, and for the few days
Immediately proceeding her death, had
seemed to be as well as any time for
years. About an hour before her death
she called her son and asked for some
medicine, saying she was finding it
difficult to breathe at the same time
remarking that her end was drawing
near, and so it proved.
Mrs. Dodge was the mother of five
children, four of whom survive her
She also leaves three sisters and one
brother
The funeral services were held Tues
day, Oct. 23d, and interment was made
in the Rich Valley cemetery.

ThaddeuS E. Moore.

The Republican candidate for Mem
ber of Assembly has made a clean
canvass of the county for the election
and has been cordially received by the
people. His election is now conceded
by the people, especially those having
any experience in politics. If elected,
which he certainly will be, he is fitted
by business experience to represent the
whole people. Republicans! you have
candidate equal, in every way, to his
opponent and he is entitled to your
solid support. Vote for hina.

Beware of Rhoorbacks.

1t is understood that desperate gang
of heelers who are opposed to Mr.. Sib-
ley, recognizing the overwhelming de-
feat that is staring them in the face, are
engaged in the concoction of monstrous
stories to be sprung upon the innocent
voters at the very close of the contest,
thereby affording no time for denial to
be made. Bear in mind this fact, how
ever: Mr.. Sibley in his long life has
never committed any act which should
require an apology from any friend;
neither is he doing so now. These lies
are concocted by the owners of the
'smut-mills" and are for the purpose
Of deception only.
ri
Beware of the work of the campaign
liar! He will spring cock-and-bull stor-
les during the last three or four days
before the election. 1t is we'll under
stood that coterie of political tricks
ters are engaged in the preparation of
a parcel of villainous matters to dump
upon an unsuspecting public too late
for the falsehood of the charges to be
shown. This will be strictly in keeping
with all the balance of the Emery cam
paign.
Beware of the Emery campaign liar!
He is abroad in the land.

Republicans must not forget, in
their enthusiasm for the national
ticket, to look out for the candidate
in Congress.

If Emery should be elected, in
what way would any wrong COM
planned of be righted? When q
man wants to go to any particular
place he ought to be sure that he is
on the right road. When his toes
get tramped upon in crowd he
ought to be sure he hits the right
fellow. When he is sick and wants
medicine he sh ould notget the bot
tie in the dark, or the medicine
may be worse than the sickness.
The Republican who thinks he
must vote against Sibley ought to
ask what good he will accomplish
by it. Revenge is not patriotic
sentiment, and the man who turns
his ballot into an instrument Of
vengeance does not understand the
proper use Of it. No man in the
9th district will ever have cause
to reproach himself for having
voted the straight Republican
ticket.

When c. w. Stone votes against

same offense of which he accused
the Republicans who voted for Sib-
ley two years ago. tits no offense
in him now, it was no offence in
them then. The Republicans, from

against the right to reproach any

The Democrats reproach the
Republicans for obeying the orders
of bosses and voting as the bosses
direct, but they will search the
record of our party in vain to find
a case in which a Republican lead

boss assumptions of the Democratic
Congressional Convention of this
district in ordering that party to
vote for Emery for Congress is
bossism in the superlative degree.

Drinking of Water.

When it is considered that the BODY
is made up largely of water it can read
lily be understood how important to
health is constant supply of this fluid.
Many people have a notion that the
drinking of water in any amount be-
yond that actually necessary to quench
thirst is injurious, and acting on that
belief they endeavor to drink as little
as possible. The notion, however is
wide of the truth. Drinking freely of
pure water is most efficacious means
not only ofpreserving health, but often
of restoring health when failing.
All the tissues of the BODY need
water, and water in abundance is nee
essary also for the proper performance
of every vital function. Cleanliness of
the tissues within the body is as neces-
sary to health and comfort as cleanli.
ness of the skin, and water tends to in
sure the one as truly as it does the
other. 1t dissolves the waste material,
which would otherwise collect in the
body, and removes it in the various ex-
cretions.
The waste materials are often actual
poisons, ard many a headache, many
rheumatic pains and aches, many sleep
less nights and listless days, and many
attacks of the "blues" are due solelv
to the circulation of the blood or de.
post in the tissues of these waste ma
terlals which cannot be got rid of be-
cause of an insufficient supply of water.
Water is accused of making fat, and
people with tendency to corpulence
avoid it for that reason. But this is
not strictly true. 1t does undoubtedly
often increase the weight, but it does
so because it improves the digestion
and, therefore, more of the food eaten
is utilized and turned into fat and flesh
But excessive fat, what we call corpu-
lence, is not a sign of health, but of
faulty digestion and assimmilation, and
systematic water-drinking is often en-
ployed as means of reducing the su-
perfiuous fat-which it sometimes does
with astonishi = rapidity.
1t is imposs Ji9 to recount in a few
words all the benefits which may re-
suit from the taking of pure water in
sufficient quantity Youths Com
panion.

The Louisville Courier Journal
finds "an interesting coincidence"
in the fact that American and
British soldiers are again lined
up together for a fight with the
Chinese on the very spot where
Commodore Tatnall backed the
British so effectively in 1859: It
says "Tatnall was a Georgian,
the son Of a Revolutionary sol
dier, Governor and United States
senator. When he was made flag
officer at the Asiatic station in
1857, he had served in the war of
1912, in the Algerian war. against
the West Indian pirates, and in
the Mexican war. For hours he
stood on Il Chinese junk, watching
the Chinese forts in Pelho river
pour a heavy fire on the British
gunboats. AT last he could stand
it no longer. Blood is thicker
than water he said, and, flinglng
out the Stars and Stripes, he gave
the signal for action. He rowed
to the British flagship md with
mis- crew took active part in the
battle which ended in defeat for
the Chinese. Tatnall's conduct
was in violation of the laws Of
neutrality, but it was heartily
sustained by public opinion in
the United States and by the
government at Washington"
The gallant commander was
afterwards captain of the Con.
federate ironclad Virginia at
Norfolk, but he was not sustained
by the same public opinion and
government in that position.

FilipinOs Name Terms of Peace.


Manila, June 81, 6:15 p. NJ
Two hundred Filipinos met this
morning in Manila to determine
honorable and decorous methods
for securing peace.
The results were submitted
this evening to Gen. Macarthur,
who accepted them.
The leaders of the meeting will
use their influence to induce Ag-
uinaldo to accept the arrange
ment. If they are successful, as
they hope to be, they believe Ag
uinaldo will issue orders in con.
junction with the American
authorities for the cessation of
hostilities.
The meeting, which was the
first of the kind since the days Of
the Filipino congress, was com.
posed of the distinctly revolution
ary element, the "Americanistas"
being lacking.
Thirty political prisoners were
released from Jail this morning
in order to attend. Senior Pater-
no presided and Senior Buenca,
mino. the originator of the move
ment, Senior Flores, Gen. Pio del
Pillar, Gen. Garcia, Gen. Macabu
los and other prominent revo
lutionists were present. 1t was
pointed out that the questions to
be considered were military and
civil, the military being concerned
with a cessation of hostilitles and
the civil with the determination
of the political status of the Fill
pinos. The immediate object of
the meeting was to effect peace
and subsequently the leaders
could consult with the civil com.
mission as to political matters.
1t was evident that Senior Pa
terno was convinced that he could
obtain Aguinaldo's sanction to a
peace based upon the following
seven clauses, which, after four
hours, were unanimously accept
ed as compliable with an honor
able peace:
/. Amnesty.
2. The return by the Ameri
cans to the Filipinos of con-
fiscated property.
3. Employment for the revo-
lutionary generals in the navy
and militia when established.
4. The application of the Fill
ipinO revenues to succor needy
Filipino soldiers.
5. A guarantee to the Filipi-
nos of the exercise of personal
rights accorded to Americans
by their constitution.
6. Establishments of civil
governments at Manila and in
the provinces.
7. Expulsion of the Friars.
The statement was vOcifer-
ously acclaimed, the entire as
sembly shouting "expel, eXpel."
