Editor of INDEPENDENT:
 Will you allow me space in your columns for few comments on an editorial in the Herald of the 18th inst. in which MT. Ward states ''the object of the Keel bill was to head off this injustice by making Newport separ- ate three mile district" Now if that was the object of the bill why was it not so stated in the bill? The editor of the Herald has certainly never read the bill nor MT. Keel's reference to the bill in his speech before the house of representative in which he stated, as follows: 'sWe are told that this act would take away the right of women and children to petition whiskey from their homes. The blind tigers are more alluring and more dangerous to boys than saloons can possibly be. And we are asking you to save us from the effects of blind tigers. If public sentiment should ever change it would be an easy matter to have this law repealed.o Does that look like the object of the bill was to make Newport a separate three mile dis trict?
 Again, representative Clement in his speech against the bill said: tiff this act should become law the peo- pie of Newport could never take ad- vantage of the three mile law to get whiskey out of that city.n Does that look like the representatives regarded the bill as intending to make Newport separate three mile district?
 Again, when Judge Stuckey was ad- dressing the Senate committee in favor or the Keel bill, and stressing the point in regard to Jacksonport district petitioning saloons out of the business portion of Newport, one of the committeeman stopped him and asked this question:: "If Jacksonport was cut off from the Newport district and not allowed to come nearer than the corporate line of Newport, would it be satisfactory?" which question Judge Stuckey ignored, and went on with his talk, saying that they wanted the bill passed as it was. Does that indicate in the least that the object of the bill was to make Newport separ- ate three mile district?
 Now MT. Editor I cannot imagine how the Editor of the Herald con- ceived such false idea of this sub ject. As the bill itself and everything that was said and done in regard to it show clearly that the whole object of the bill was to exclude Newport from the privilege of local option. I can see no object in such an editorial un- less it be to try and create sentiment in favor of the licensed saloon. No laudable enterprise would want to succeed by false presentation.
 Respectfully, J. E. VILLAINS.

Constipation Cured
A BARRYTOwN MANS EXPERIENCE
WITH CAL-CURA SOLVENT
DR.. David Kennedy's New Medicine

DR.. David Kennedy's New Medicine
Cured Him Promptly
Constipation leads to worse. Often it is
the cause of Appendicitis. Always it leads
to dangerous chronic disease. It should
not be neglected, nor should it be temper
arily alleviated with drastic purgatives.
Here is a case In point;
Mr.. Q. S. Osterhoudt, Of Barrytown, N.
was distressed with indigestion, chronic
constipation aud kidney trouble for years.
He tried many medicines without relief.
He heard Of Cal-cpra Solvent, DIR Ken
nedy's new medicine, used it aud began
to improve rapidly. All Of his old com
plants have disappeared and he owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.
Write to the Calcura Company, Ken
nedy Row, Rondout, N. Y, for free
sample bottle.
Remember: Only one DR.. David Ken
nedy ever lived IN ROndOut, City OF
| Kingston, n Y, and be sure yOu get his
new and latest medicine, which is sold
only in 81 % bottles.

OF the eighty-seven brokers of the
London Stock Exchange who under
took the other day to walk from
Brighton to London, Il distance of 81
miles, seventy-three finished the
distance and ten of them made it
within ten hours. The weather was
rainy, and the roads bad. Yet we
think that some of our own Wall
street boys in times past have set as
swift pace as this, though perhaps
the percentage of stayers was not SC
great.
