BAD FOR THE INSTRUCTORS,
Chicago Chronicle, Democratic, Rid
cuIes Iowa Democratic Cam
paiGn of Education"

The Chicago Chronicle is the only
democratic newspaper in Chicago. 1t
is the paper the Iowa democrats read
1t has championed democratic policies
with ability ever since its foundation
but it's disgust with the folly of the
Iowa democracy cannot be concealed,
In a recent issue the Chronicle says:
The chairman of the Iowa demo-
cratic state central committee, in
speaking of the plans of that body,
says: "Our campaign will be largely
educational and will be made square
ly on the state platform"
When the fact is recalled that the
chief feature of the state platform is
the Endorsement of the populistic Kan
sas City and Chicago platforms the
delicate humor of the reference to an
educational campaign will be quite
obvious to all.
The democratic committee purposes
an educational campaign on these
texts:
I. The hmm diate free and unIimit~
ed coinage of gold and silver on prl-
vhte account at the ratio of I6to1.
2. The immediate withdrawal of
United States authority from the
Philippines.
3. No discussion of the question Of
the trust-producinG tariff until the
silver question shall have been set
tied as above.
The election in Iowa will be held in
about six weeks. Iowa is 300 miles
wide from east to west and 2IO miles
long from north to south. 1t has
population of considerably more than
100000. most of them of high order
of intelligence.
Anyone who expects to cnrry on an
educational campaign such as the
pOpulistS have outlined for the DEM
Ocrats in such territory. in such
n time and among such n people. will
have need of great fOrtitude and en-
erGy and spirit which will easily
surmOunt obstacles and survive dis
appointment and defeat.
The liability is that the more the
educational processes are applied the
worse it will be for the instructors.

THEY sLANDERED MKINLEY.
vile FaIsehoods Put Out by Third
Party ProhIbitioniEts-FaI OF
Their Efforts to Harm Cummins.

1t is a surprise to many politicians,
how the third-party prohibition effort
to get following this year has failed.
These political prohibitionists thought
they would be able to revive the old
quarrel between the prohibition
and anti-prohibition extremists in
the republican party, arousing the
preiudices and fears of the pro-
hibitionists so they would for
sake the only party that ever
did anything for them in the state.
But MIR. Cummins' prompt declaration
that he was opposed to disturbing the
mulct law paralyzed their efforts to TO-
ment trouble in republican ranks. Ev-
cry sensible prohibitionist saw at once
that all was safe; that there was to be
no backward step, and that he had
nothing to expect but wide-open, state
wide license from the democratic party.
So the misunderstanding third-party
prohibitionists received no encourage
ment from the republicans.
Now it has occurred to some persons
with good memories TO suggest read
ing of the national prohibition plat
form of 1900, which is to be found on
page 249 ofthe Iowa Official Register for
1901. This document contains an at
tack upon the late President Mckinley,
so vicious and foul that were it uttered
now from any platform the people, re-
gardless of party, would destroy it's
author on the spot. Men have been
tarred and feathered, driven out of theI
neighborhood and branded as traitors
during the past three weeks for saying
much less than this platform. Some OF
the most malicious OF the faisehoods in
this document are such as these:
"By his plcuous example as a
wine drinker a public banquets and as
wine-serving host in the white house,
he has dome more to encourage the

TWO WATERS FROM ONE WELL
A Freak of Nature That Is Enjoyed
by the People of Lyons,
Mississippi.

A well that furnishes two separate
and distinct kinds of drinking water
from the one opening is a freak OF
nature which the town of Lyons. Miss,
a few miles south of Memphis, is now
enjoying, says the Chicago Inter Ocea n.
One stream is said by experts to flow
from an underground current having
its source in Lake Michigan, while the
other is identified by taste, odor and
chemical analysis with the waters of
Waukesha springs. The well goes to a
depth of 975 feet, and was sunk bv
Albert Goldsberry, of Memphis. The
two streams emerge from pipes OF diff.
ferent lengths, the one which taps the
Lake Michigan stratum having The
greater depth. Lyons is situated in a
part OF the country where good drink
ing water in all seasons is difficult to
obtain, and recently when Memphis
parties proposed to sink an artesian
well the suggestion was secuted bv the
residents of the town. The discovery
OF the two streams, one pure. clear,
soft freestone, and the other strong,
sweet, chalybeate iron water, is a
source of wonder to the natives. Both
streams gush above the surface. the
freestone to a height Of IS feet and the
chalybeate 21 feet.

TIE SAMAR MASSACRE.
Spite of Precautions to Pre-
vent an Attack.

Manila, Oct. Maj. Morris c. Foote,
of the Ninth United States infantry,
who has returned here from the island
of Samar, was in Balangiga the day
before the disaster to company c. He
says that Capt. Cornell had been fully
warned and had taken what he .(Maj.
FOote) considered every necessary
precautiOn. Information that a plot
was brewing among the Filipinos came
to Maj. Foote from priest, who said
that it was in the plans of the populace
at both Balangiga and Basey to attack
the garrisons, and that the Basey gar
rison was to be attacked from a cock
pit in the rear Of the barracks. Orders
were Immediately given to demOlish
the cock pit and extra guards were
stationed.
There is intense feeling throughout
the army because of the massacre,
which would not be the case to any
such extent had it been the work of or
binary insurgents. The latter might
have been expected TO commit such an
outrage. Feeling is particularly in
tense in military circles because the
authors of the massacre were paCificos,
most Of whom had taken the GA tn of al
legiance and many Of whom, including
the presjdente of BaIanyiga, were ac-
tualIy holding office. Some of the
after effects are already shown at
many points, particularly at BauIan
and ta'oocan, in the provinces of Ba-

TO PUNISH THE NATIVES.
Military Authorities to Deal Severely
with the Treacherous Peo-
pie of samar.

Washington, Oct. last advices
from the Philippines indicate that the
military authorities intend to take
prompt and vigorous measures for the
suppression of the insurrection in the
island of Samar, and that attention
will be directed first to the summary
punishment of the treaeherous natives
who took part in the massacre of COM
pany G, Ninth infantry, at Balangiga.
There is, therefore, every prospect
that the island of Samar will be the
theater of active hostilities for some
time to come, as it is the purpose OF
Gen. Chaffee to teach the rebellious in
habitants a lesson and force them to
respect the power and sovereignty Of
the United States.
By direction of Adjt. Gen. Corbin q
report has been prepared at the war
department briefly describing the is
land and its inhabitants, the military
operations that already have taken
place there for the pacifica ton of the
people and The establishment of good
order and government. This report
is of timely interest in view of the ag-
gressive military policy to be observed
toward such of the natives as are dis
posed still to resist the authority of
the United States.
In the last mail report of Gen. Kobbe,
department commander, he says that
upon the arrival of the Eleventh in
fantry from the United States, two
companies Of the First infantry in the
island of Leyte will be moved TO Samar,
which island will then be occupied by
the Third squadron, Ninth cavalry, and
two battaltons of the Ninth infantry.
Samar has been added to the military
department of the Visayas and the
department commander is now there
in person directing the operations
against the insurgents, but no report
of these recent operations has been
received at the war department.

WEDDINGS AT PLoUoAsrEL.
FOrty-Four Couples United at a French
Town.

Town.
At PlougasteI, in Brittany, France
there is but one day year on which
IRON time fmmemorial, weddings are
allowed to take place-nameIy, on the
Feast Of st. Frances, a model Chris
tan wife and mother for whom the
citizens of PlougasteF have the great
est veneration, which they chiefly
manifest by setting all the weddings
Tor that day. This year not less than
forty-four couples knelt before her
altar to pronounce the nuptial VOWS.
Ihis day OF weddings by the whole
sale Is, OF course, feast for the whole
village. In the early morning all the
couples meet on the towns public
square. Thence they go to the city
hall, where the civil ceremony is gone
through with. This over, a procession
Is formed, and all the couples. fol-
lowed by their respective friends,
march three times around the village
before entering the church, where the
religious ceremony Is performed. Here
upon follows the banquet, which is
held at the common expense. The last
wedding feast saw no less than 1000
guests partaking of the bounteous re-
past According to an eyewitness of
these fraternal agapae, apart from
the tables at which sat the wedding
couples, plates were conspicuous by
their absence. There was on an aver
age one plate to every four guests.
That little deficiency, however, did not
prevent the Plougastelites from enjoy
ing themselves capitally during the six
days duration of the ceremonies.

Handle trainmen met an awful death
near Onward, IA miles southeast OF

ton of the debris. The dead are:
Ebert Greeley, conductor; Thomas
II. Brosius, hagman; S. A. Galbreath,
brakeman; John Hutchinson, fire
man, The injured: Frank Patter-
son, engineer.
Duringthe night Conductor Weaver,
in charge of the second section Of
train No. 10, an engine and two ca
bosses, left Hartford City for Logans-
port. In the rear caboose were Gal
breath, Brosius and Greeley, who had
been working on the gravel train at
Hartford City, and who were en- route
to this city TO spend Sunday with
their families. They were all asleep
when the train stopped near Onward
to make up steam. The fagman was
sent out to watch for the third Sec
ton from the east, and no danger
was thought of until the train
doomed up too close for any to escape
except Weaver, who jumped and got
off uninjured. The third section,
with Engineer Frank Patterson at
the throttle, had attained high speed,
and when it struck the rear caboose
the engine reared in the air, turned
clear around and came down on her
side in the ditch, MASKING a number
of cars into kindling wood and bury
ing in the debris the sleeping train
men and Hutchinson, the fireman for
Patterson. The wreckage promptly
caught fire, and the flames kept at
bay the uninjured trainmen and the
men who gathered from nearby farm
houses. A special train conveyed a
part of the Logansport fire depart
ment to the scene. The fire was ex-
tinguished and the work of removing
the bodies begun. The remains Of
Galbreath, Hutchison and Greeley
were found, but the body of Brosius
was almost entirely consumed, only
pieces of burned flesh and bones be-
ing recovered.

Wolves Plentiful.

Geo. Best one, of the mine owners
of the Hornblend camp west of
Rockford five miles, says that the
grey wolves are very plentiful this
year and are doing some damage to
stock along the Lines tone range
and west of the Hills. He tells of
an incident that happened the other
day while rancher was hauling in
his hay on Castle Creek, which
proves the wolves to be very bold in
mat vicinity. About three o'clock
in the afternoon deer came within
few feet of his wagon and lay
down almost completely tired out,
and looking across the valley he
noticed three grey wolves had halt
ed from the chase and were sitting
on their hsunches with tongues
hanging out of their mouths
painting similar to a weary dog. 1t
was evident that the wolves had
been chasing the deer for several
hours and would soon have over
taken him had not the animal found
the protection it did independent.
