WhitemOre, one of the oldest residents
of this community, died at his home
near here, Tuesday morning, Septem-
Der %, about half past eight o'clock,
after an illness of only five days, aged
nearly eighty years-his eigntieth
birthday would have been next month.
He had large circle of friends through
out the county, to most of whom, the
news of his death came as a surprise
for he was not thought dangerously ill
until few days before his death.

maiden name was Myers, and the fol
lowing children, Wallace 2. of Balti-

brother, Mr.. Henry Whitmore. The
funeral was held at the Methodist
church at Parnassus Thursday morn.
ing 10 o'clock.
This section was visited by very
heavy rain last Wednesday night
which did Il good deal of damage to
the newly ploughed fields, causing the
ground which was being prepared for
sowing grain to become very hard and
baked. The farmers are quite busy at
present, cutting corn, sowing rye etc
only few have as yet sOwn wheat.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Il. Silling and little
SOD, Ralston, left here Tuesday for
Staunton, where they took the train

A Filled Gold Watch Case
is made up of two sheets Of
solid gold with a sheet OF stiffen-
ing metal between, all welded
into one solid sheet. The sheet
of stiffening metal takes moth

solid gold case, adds to the
strength of the case, and re-
duces the cost. This stiffening
metal takes the place of the gold

All EASY MARK.


The subsidized press is making much
over the fact that one Samuel j. Parks
who is a walking delegate for the
Housesmiths and Bridgeman's Union
of New York city has been sent to
Sing Sing for two and one half years
because he ''extorted" money, 5000,
from an employee under threat to
compel a strike. This might seem
very grave Offense and no doubt Is
very grave as we find a quick trial and
a ready conviction. The trouble with
Parks was that be was on the wrong
side. Had he been on the side OF capt.
tai he might have extorted two million,
or two hundred million from the peO-
pie and not only would no complaint
have been made against him in court
but he would today be swelling over
the land in an automobile, and his
daughter doubtless preparing her
trosseau to marry a titled nobleman.
Poor Parks committed the error OF
telling an employer he intended to call
a strike of the people who did certain
work. The employer asked him to
postpone the call and for SO doing be
would give him 5000. Parks took this
sum and the strike was not then call
ed. somebody heard of this, Parks wal
at once arrested, and now "he Ian
guishes in the dungeon vile" but bis
salary goes on all the same. The
working people who had him employ
ed to look after their affairs pay him
Just as much in prison as out. and he
lie regarded as martyr to the cause
of Labor-a largs labor meeting hav'
Ing been called to pass resolutions or
the unjustnsss OF his sentence. Had
Door Parks been ''grafter" in the gov.
eminent service, or Rockefeller
squeezing oil consumers, or coal
baron vaising the price of his commo
dity when the weather got cold, be
would be accused of no crime. An
ofrense now a days consists solely in
the position of him who commits thf
act. twas Parks work to call strikes
or not az be saw fit, and because be
chose to make money out of his bust
nees he is turned into q criminal. II
is very hard to teach people that they
may squeeze and extort just as much
money as they please il they are On the
side OF Capital but il they happen to
be on the side Of Labor, they cannot.
The courts may pound this into their
heads by and by, the Republican par.
ty has been giving them object lessons
for some time without effect but the
truth may dawn on tlN some day.

Mr.. CHAMBERL AIN QUITS.

Joe" Chamberlain as he is familiar
ly called has resigned his position in
the English cabinet, In other words
he has been driven out. "Joe" was the
power which forced England into the
Boer war, war which disgraced her,
and which will for long time hang
about her neck as a milestone. The
expense of this war has been hard to
pay. 1t has sorely taxed the people
and Mr.. Chamberlain has been devils
ing means for that purpose. The
money has been hard to get and crafty
Mr.. Chamberlain knowing good deal
about how things go in the United
States saw that a Tariff is great
money producer. He saw that once
foisted on country it could never be
shaken off, and that under it any kind
OF robbery could be committed, SO be
presented tariff bill, which would
have accomplished his end, had the
people of England been as big fools
and as easily duped as those in the
United States. But they could not
see the beauties of the scheme, they
could not see how taxation made
everybody rich-as we see it-and they
cOul d not to save their lives see how
''the foreigner would pay the tax as
we see it. There was howl, and
"Joe" tucked his tail and ran. He
will now leave Old England to get out
of her debt as best she can. They will
have trouble paying it, and be will say
II told you SO" every time anything
goes wrong. They have all kinds of
taxes in England, stamp taxes, and
income taxes, and collateral inheri-
lance taxes, and direct taxes on every
thing, and with this proposed tariff
they would have had tax on bread,
bu t they were too sensible to be gull
ed as we are gulled, and robbed as we
are robbed, without knowing just how.
We know our life blood is being drawn
by our tariff robbery, but as we cannot
tell just which vein is bleeding fastest
we grin aud endure 1t as best we can,
yet we know death is at hand.

ANTIETAM FOUGHT OVER.

| Much Just comment has been made
touching the fact that at the recent
erection of a monument to the New
jersey soldiers who fought at Antie-
tam, neither President Roosevelt nor
Gov. Murphy of New Jersey mention
ed the name of Glen. Geo. b. McClel.
Ian, who was native of New Jersey,
and commanded the Union forces at
that battle. This omission was studied.
1t had no element OF accident in it.
The name of Mcclellan is being sys-
tematically ignored by all writers and
speakers, whose political complexion
is Republican. Mcclellan was not
Repu blican, be had the temerity to
run for President on the Democratic
ticket in 1854 and there was his crime.
But whilst the slight was Intentional
both by the President and Gov. MUIR
ply, 1t must be recalled that nOtWith-
standing Mr.. Roosevelt was in bis
swaddling clothes when this battle
was fought, that does not debar him
from fighting it over again. He fought
over the naval battle of Santiago. He
put the captains in command there,
and has officially signed and sealed an
important official document which he
is ready to swear to, that it was "a
captains battle. This makes it 80, of
course. He has also stated over his
official signature many times that II
fought the battle of San Juan Hill"
Thus this becomes fact. Now he
takes up the battle of Antietam
and he mows down Confede
ates with Turkish malevOIence, he
hurls them back over the Potomac
twenty four hours in advance of the
time they really did cross and works
out a magnificent victory for the
union forces, all of which was accom-.
plished without commander. This
was probably "a soldiers battle" The
necessity for commanding officers has
been SO minimized that we wonder
why the Rough Riders had any, and
may yet hear that it was the Rough
Riders themselves who at San Juan
Hill ordered themselves to charge, and
when they had ordered themselves up
little too close, they then ordered
themselves to lie down, and just then
az the Spaniarda lad then well hem
med in, some colored troops who hap
pened to be strolIing around came up
on the scene and these colored troops |
ordered themselves to help the Rough |
Riders out of the hole they had got into,
and thus was a great and glorious sol.
diers victory won. AS for Murphy no.
body cares much what he said, The
country and the Mcclellan family can
stand the Murphy onslaught, and they
may not suffer seriously from this
stab in the back administered by a
President who boasts that the only
man he ever killed. he shot in the back
whilst running away.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it

articles should never be used except on

DICTATION vs.. FRIENDLY ADVICE.

In these days of plutocracy and a
subsidized press. we learn that when
VIM. J. Bryan expresses himself on a
subject, that is 'dlctation." When
some returned prodigal expresses
himself, that is ''advice' or friendly
counsel" The question has been ask
ed what has Mr.. Bryan been guilty
of that he receives the denunciation
heaped upon him by these new guar
dams of the Democratic party and
paid denunciators ?' We know of
nothing except that he became the
regular candidate of the Democratic
party for president on two occasions
and was robbed of his election the
first time, and by purchase of votes
defeated the second time. Defeat is
nothing new to the party, hence there
need be no great clamor about it. The
party has never had president. 1t
elected Tilden in 1876 and he was
counted out. 1t nominated Grover
Cleveland three times and elected him
twice. and before he got his seat in
the White House warm the first time,
the party realized it had been ''gold
bricked." Why then fall ont with
Mr.. Bryan because be happened not
to become president ?
But We find on examining the sourc-
es from whence this denunciation
comes that those who are finding
fault, who declare that Bryan is a
Popul1st. an Anarchist, a Dictator
and q Scold, are those who were either
charging around on the Palmer and
Buckner ass, in 1896, or had become
Mckinley and Hobart swash bucklers.
or were sneaking around in the Dem.
ocratlc camp somewhat as wolves
in sleeps clothing. None of them,
though at one time professedly Demo-
Gratis, was at heart with the party in
1886, but at heart was allied with the
gold movement and determined to rule
or ruin on that issue.
But let it be known and long remem
bered that there are millions of people
in the United States who are standing
to day just when they stood when the
chicago platform was adopted, as
heartily endorsing the principle of
hard money-free sjiver-as they did
before the cause was deserted by Jno. G..
Carlisle, VIM. l.. Wilson and many 9th
ers who rode the hobby until they
found something more profitable then
skunk away. There are millions who
believe in a silver dollar as better
money, than the mere promise of a
National Bank, who believe that ey.

poration which may be wiped out of

But there are many who believe that

than for long time, the nee essity for an |
increase in currency is not so urgent.
as 1t was when the banks forced a re.
auction of their circulating medium

need not now be a disturbance of con.
litions, by injecting silver into the

A LAWYER IS ATTACKED
Daniel Richter, Who Was Jos. Hen
cir's Attorney Says "Der7nity
Gang Is After Him.

Daniel Richter, young attorney
who represented Joseph Hencir, who
testified against James Dermidy in
grand larceny cases in the district
court, reported to the police that he
had been attacked by members of the
"Dermidy gang" at First avenue and
Seventh street last night. He says
that he was struck in the right side
with stone and that his assailant ran
away before he could be identified.
Richter played an important part in
solving the mystery connected with
petty robberies last spring. When Hen
cir and Dernidy were arrested, he was
employed as Hencirs attorney and adj
vised the young man to tell the truth.
Hencir told the officers Of several rob-
berries committed by Dermidy and him
self and said that Dernidy had led
him into these troubles AS a result
several indictments were returned
against Dermidy.
Richter says that he was informed
that the ''Dernidy gang" were lying
in wait for him and when he attended
a party in South Minneapolis Monday
night eight Of them followed him.
Last night he was near First avenue
S and Seventh street when some one
hailed him. He turned and was struck
In the side with a stone.
