Miss FIvnn's Statement,

II hereby announce to the public
that wish to withdraw my name
from the county ticket for the office
of Superintendent of Schools. I
find that. the office does not pay a
salary sufficient to meet all the ex-
penses that must necessarily be in
Cured, Any person capable Of
holding the Office can command
better salary in other fields. The
Office nows pays $55 per month AID
when livery hire and the other Incl
dental expenses are deducted there
IS very little left to live on. When |
aspired to the office two years ago
it was with the the understanding
that I should receive the same salary
as my predecessor, $75 per month,
that is, the present salary and $3.50
livery hire additional. The Honor
able County Board appropriated me
SlZ5 Tor SIX months. Tor which / am
very thankful, but for the past year
and more my salary has been only
$55 per month. l sincerely hope the
County Board will be more generous
with my successor, I heartily thank
all my constituents and friends in
both parties who have 80 earnestly
and zealously worked in my behalf.
| shall endeavor to preform my duty
to the best of my ability for the re-
mainder of the term, as have tried
to do in the past" {
MARY B. Flynn,
County Superintendent.

Hope for the Dyspeptic.

Everyone who has realized the dis.
comfort and distress which accom-.
pany disarrangement of the diges'
tive organs will rejoice with Mrs. S
n acv, of Port Arthur, Ontario, in the
relief she has OBJ, aimed after having
suffered for so long a time. She
says: Il have suffered for the last
four or five years from stomach
trouble and dyspepsia, experiencing
great pain. I took Chamberlain g
Stomach and Liver Tablets and can
truthfully say they have done me
a great deal of good. l feel like a
different women as result of using
them, and the after effect is never
unpleasant. These Tablets are for

II want to say word to my Norwe-
gian friends" said Senator Nelson on
Wednesday evening. "In 1892, the
Republicans of Minnesota saw fit to
nominate a son Of Norway for the
high position of governor. The
whole party elected him, and re: elect
ed him in '94, and l have yet to learn
that they regretted their action. This
year the party mad nominated a son
of the Emerald Isle, Robert G. Dunn,
and we Norwegians should do our
part and return the compliment paid
US in 1892" A great storm of ap-
plause greeted this statement both on
account Of the modest way in which
the senator had referred to his own
election as governor: and also on &C.
count of the telling argument in favor
OF voting for Robert G. Dunn.
The meeting on Wednesday night
was the best attended rally ever held
IN Morris. Arrangements hsd been
made to put as many seats as posi-
BILE into the armory, and the ushers
saw to it that there was no seat left
unoccupied. People we're gathered
in entry rooms and around the doors
and windows wherever they could
hear the senator's voice. Probably as
many people as we're within, were
turned away from the doors. An
overflow meeting would have been
packed also, but it would have taxed
the speakers strength too much to
have made two speeches.
The exercises we're opened with Sc
lections by the Morris Military Band
and the Dunn male quartet. The
latter number was heartily encored,
and rendered still more popular
song on Johnson's fsllacies.

mission, appointed. Among othef
things, this commission caused
$17,OOO to be collected from one firm
and 5000 from another.
The speaker then spoke huGnor-
ously of some other complaints he
had heard against Dunn. Some
men IN town south of here were
opposed to him because he caused the
surplus of bank to be assessed.
Another did not like it because he
had no chance to bid against settlers
on state land for the pieces they
lived on. Another thought Dunn
was law breaker because he didn't
cancel the contracts of purchasers
of school lands when they had met
with crop failure or other misfortune,
and allowed their contract to be.
come delinquent.
The senator closed with a fine
personal tribute to Mr.. Dunn. and
the statement with which we began
this article. The speech was con-
tinually interrupted with resounding
applause. The high regard in which
Senator Nelson is held together with
the fact that he regards the charges
against Dunn so lightly shows to
the voters of this county how little
there really is to this johnson talk.
Senator Nelson's speech was the
final blow to johnson sentiment in
in this county, and next week a solid
and united party will vote for Robert
G. Dunn FOR governor.
Morris tribune., 1904-11-05

In taking up national issues,
Senator Nelson compared the pre-
sent campaign to the campaign OF
1892, showing how the Democrats
were using much the same argu-
ments now that they did then. He
then traced the history of the coun-
try under Cleveland's administration,
and the various national campaigns
since. The trusts, the tariff, the
money question, the Philippines and
the Panama canal were all treated 10
the senator's clear and common
sense manner. The tribnte WI ich
he paid to President Roosevelt
struck a responsive chord in the
audience. He had Only words CT
praise for Senator Clapp and Cen
gresham Volstead, and especially
praised the latter for his speech
answering John Lind's speech on
Canadian reciprocity. He pointed
out how wheat is at present 20 cents
to % cent, higher in Minneapolis
than it is in Winnepeg, and that if
the tariff on wheat were removed,
the price of wheat here in Minnesota
would go down accordingly.
But the people had really come to
hear about Dunn, and 40 when the
senator began to speak of state
matters, the enthusiasm began.
The senator, in speaking of the
state contest, called attention to the
strenuous convention" which nomi.
mated Dunn. With the result of
such convention, there would
naturally be some dissatisfaction, and

gwen out in Washington in an inter-
view By Elliott Danforth. OF New
Ecrk. one OF Parker'S most intimate

charge at home prices higher than
arS accepted abroad. the duties should
be reduced He would smite the sub

BURNING AT THE STAKE.
It Was Legal Punishment in North
Carolina During the Revolu-
tionary War.

Editor News and Courier: Recent
" while searching through some old
records l chanced to find one Of the
most curious documents that has ever
fallen under my observation. 1t shows
:h.t during the Revolutionary period
OF 1niS country's history negro was
tried BY the courts OF North Caro-
lima. in Brunswick county, for muir
der. and lawfully condemned to burn
at the stake. That such a legal pro-
ceeding ever occurred in this or any
other state may not be known to
many people, but the record was
made by the state and there is no
doubt about it being correct. The
record reads:
State OF North Carolina, Bruins
wick county. March IS, 177S =
The court proceeded on said trial
and the said fellow, Jenny, confessed
himself to be one. that had hand in
numbering OF said Henry Williams,
in concurrence OF the evidence Of four
other malefactors that were executed
for being concerned in said murder
on the 18th day OF March. 1777. Or
dered that the sheriff take the said
Jenny from hence to the place of
execution. where he shall be tied to
stake and burned alive"
1t further appears that the said
Jenny was slave. belonging to Mrs.
Sarah Dupree. Three justices of the
peace. William Canoe. John Fell, and
Thomas Sessions, and four freehold
ers, Aaron Roberts, John Strainton,
Needham Gorce and James Ludlow,
duly summoned for that purpose.
signed a certificate that said slave was
worth 500 pounds. or $500 proclamation
money. Uuon that certificate the leg
islature passed resolution for the
payment OF the said sum TO Mrs. Du-
pree. the owner OF Jenny.

TRenty-eight years have passed
since the last impeachment by con
gress Of Q federal officer. In 1875
General ". W. Belknap, secretary
Of war under President Grant, was
impeached; and on his trial by the
senate, sitting as q court, was &C
quilted. The process Of impeach-
ment is archaic, and has fallen out
OF use in Great Britain, the
country which gave it to usi yet It
is our only constitutional method
Of reaching high officials who are
guilty Of malieasance In Office, so
that when occasion arises it must
be put into operation.
Such an occasion is thaugt to be
found in the alleged high crimes
and misdemeaners Of Charles
swayne, judge Of the United States
district court Of Florida; and tue
house committee on the judiciary
has decided to recommend that he
be impeached. "Tbe court for
the trial of impeachments'' is still
the highest tribunal in each
country of the English speaking
world: and the inirequency OF its
sittings makes its assembly Of great
bistOrial importance. Only seven
times has it been called together
since this nation was formed. In
1897 in the case Of William BlOunt,
a senator from Tennessee; IN 1908
it convicted John Pickering, dis
trict Judge Of New Hampshire, and
in 1861 convicted West PugheE
Humphreys, district Judge Of Ten
~nessee; in 1904 it acquitted Viii
liam Chase, associate justice o.
the supreme cO1rt of the United
States; in 1868 it acquitted An
drew johnson, President Of the
United States, and in 1876 Gener
al Belknap.
Impeachments thus end as
rule in acquittals. No unimpOr
tant matter brings the high cOur
together, and even the most in
significant federal officer gain
fame by being tried by it. Posi-
bly, this is one reason why ther
have been so few impeachments
why officials have been permitte
to resign and retire into Obscurit
instead Of facing the bar Of tn
senate.
