Many letters have been received by
The Independent complaining because
It did not publish the full populist
vote. That has been impossible, al
/ tnougn every sfsssoosr. has leen made to
get 1t. The two old parties have at
their service the Associalca Press with
correspondents in every county Of the
United States. The populists have to
walt until the official reports are made
to the state authorities in the. differ
ent states. Lately he plutocratic press
has been gathering and printing the
prohibition and socialist vote, but not
: word about the populist vote. Many
letters have been received declaring
that the writer's voted for Watson at
certain polling precincts and when the
oficial vote was returned no votes for
Watson appeared. The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald gives the total vote OF the
minor parties as follows: Debs lsoc.,
392 ,S57. Swallow (pro.), 24S,411; Wat
son pop.), 124,3S1; Corrigan (soc.
labor, 1858 Many comments have
been made on the evident purpose OF
the plutocratic press to suppress the
populist vote while the socialist vote
has been exploited in every way. The
conclusion reached is that plutocracy
has no fear of the socialists, but breads
the sound principles Of the peoples
party. What the vote of Watson was
will never be known. Within two
weeks The Independent Will be able To
report how many votes for him were
returned and counted.

The talk in New York about electing
another man to take Depew's place in
the senate all grows out Of the fact
that the Vanderbilts have lost control
OF the New York Central and Rookie
TELLER is the dominating rorce In that
line now. The Vanderbilts sent Depew
to the senate to look after their inter-
ests. and now that they nave lost con-
ltrol of the railroad, some other man is

Beduteads Of history.

Bedstead originally meant the beds
place" The trucklebed was the first adj
vance on the bench and then the tester
suspended from the roof. Then came in
the Arabian bed-a name perhaps de-
rived from the crusades. The four
poster came from Austria in the fifteenth
century. The late Queen Victoria ale
ways carried her bedstead about with
her. and so did the mobiles in the middle
ages. The eoverlid or Counterpolnt,
when comes Counterpart. was often
splendidly embroidered. Yet the beds
ct this time we're often only sacks Of
straw. Feather beds came from France
in the fourteenth century, but straw was
in general use long after. Blankets Of

Such an attitude is the probably inev-

us of thickness or insincerity. The

ton for the Presidency rendered me
by the Republican National Conven-
ton, and cordially approve the plat
form adopted by it. In writing this
letter there are certain points upon
which l desire to lay especial stress.
Tt is difficult to find out from the
utterances Of our opponents what are
the real issues upon which they pro-
pose to wage this campaign. 1t is not
unfair to say that, having abandoned
most of the principles upon Which
they have insisted during the last
eight years, they now seem at a loss
both as to what it is that they really
believe, and as to how firmly they
shall assert their belief in anything.

The two month s vacation is over,
and this morning the city schools
opened. The opening attendance was
very good. considering the fact that
the opening days seldom see an at
tendance as large as that of the sec
ond week. This mornings s session was
merely the preliminary, and the regu-
lar school work, recitations, etc., open
ed this afternoon. The reports of the
enrolment will not be completed until
the last of the week, the many

ened this morning, with a good at
tendance. The changing in the boun-
daries of the school district is caus-
ing good deal of trouble and i'll feel
ing on the part of those who are
changed. The need of school build
ing in the east end is greatly empha-
sized this morning, as the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth street schools were
crowded. The new boundaries will
be strictly adhered to,however, by
the teachers, and many pupils will be
changed from one school to another.
Nearly all the students have return
ed from vacations. and were ready If
not willing, to enter upon another
years school work this morning.

of the Government. We intend in the
future to carry on the Government in
the same way that we have carried it
on in the past.
A party whose members are radi-
cally at variance on the most vital
issues, and if united at all, are only
united on issues where their attitude
threatens widespread disaster to the
whole country, cannot be trusted to
govern in any matter. A party which,
with facile ease, changes all its con-
victions before election cannot be
trusted to adhere with tenacity to any
principle after election. A party fit
to govern must have convictions. In
1896 the Republican party came into
power, and in 1900 it retained power
on certain definite pledges, each of
which was scrupulously fulfilled. But
In addition to meeting and solving the
problems which were issues in these
campaigns, it also became necessary
to meet other problems which arose
after election; and it is no small part
of our claim to public confidence that
these were solved with the same sue
cess that had attended the solution of

THE BATTLE OF
NINTH STREET
ALTERCAToN BETWEEN THEO-

THEODORE SMITH
The Latter Was Badly Cut at the
Hands of the Former -Satur-

THEODORE SMITH

There was considerable excitement
in North Ninth street Saturday after
noon about 4 40 when an alteration
occurred between Theodore McClel-
Ian, the laundryman and Theodore
Smith, of 133 South Fourteenth street.
The fight occurred in Mcclellan IS
laundry and was finished on the
street. The story goes that Mr..
Smiths sons had been working for
Mr. Mcclellan, but was discharged on
Saturday. Mr.. Smith went to the
laundry to inquire about the cause of
the discharge and incidentally to col
lect the wages due his boy. One
word brought on another and Mr..
Smith was ordered out of the place
and then showed out, and he claims to
have been struck with a fat iron. In
the melee Mr.. Smith received two
bad cuts, each of which was opened
to the bone-one on the forehead and
the other on the back of the head.
He bled profusely from the wounds
and was taken to DR.. Bulla's office
where they We're bandaged.
Squire Sphinx constable was on
hand and ordered MeClellan to appear
In court this morning. A complaint
was also filed in police court.
The case was called in the latter
court this morning and was continue
led until Wednesday morning. A large
crowd of people gathered about the
place and excitement ran high, to-
| pether with all kinds of rumors.

YOUNG CURTIS
KILLED HIMSELF
FOUND DEAD ON THE ROAD
SIDE YESTERDAY
ACUTE MELANCHOLlA
Deputy Coroner Markley Renders a
Verdict of Suicide-It Was
Premeditated.
ACUTE MELANCHOLlA

Yesterday morning the dead body
of Curtis Harris, aged twenty-five,
was found by the roadside short
distance west of Cambride City, with
a bullet hole over the heart.
Beside the body of the dead man
was found a revolver, and at first it
was naturally supposed to be a case
Of suicide. Later investigation gives
credence to the murder theory.
The right hand of the young man
was badly scratched and torn, indlcat-
ing a struggle and as no cause for
suicide has been revealed the officers
are investigating the case in the hope
of finding some clew that will lead to
murder.
The body was discovered lying by
the roadside by Miss Ida Williams
and Miss Emma Adams, two young
women who resided near the scene.
Neighbors were hastily informed and
the body removed to the home of John
Campbell, just across the Henry
county line, where Harris had been
employed.
Young Harris was a prominent
worker in the Evangelical church at
Pleasant Hill. He was regarded as a
man Of excellent habits and no cause
could be assigned that would lead to
the suicide theory.
Saturday night he was in Cam
bridge City until about 10 o'clock,
when he started home, purchasing d
lunch in restaurant before starting.
Nothing out of the ordinary was no
ticed in his conversation.
Coroner's S Verdict.
Deputy Coroner John M Wampler
went to Cambridge City yesterday and
We've dthe remains. He also took
all the evidence he could find. DIR.
Wampler said he learned that Curtis
borrowed a revolver from friend
Saturday and told the lady at the
house at which he was stopping that
he didn t care to live any longer. He
brooded a good deal over something
or another. He led a pretty fast life
some time ago and recently joined
church Tt was after IL o o'clock Sat
urday night when he left Cambridge
City and he told the friend with
whom he had been talking that he
didn't think he would see him any
more The friend thought he was
joking, but later developments prov.
ed to the contrary. He never reached
home but killed himself while on the
way
DR.. Wampler's verdict will be that
the young man came to his death by
his own hands, with suicidal intent
while suffering with acute melan-
cholia.
