TO the Congress OF the United States:
'.Ihe undersigned citizens of the State

rhe service of the United States, most re-
sPectfully represent that from 1861 to
1865, when this nation was in the throes
of civil war, the counties now composing
this great State was known as border
territory, and the scene of much bitter
strife and warfare; that many of her
noble sons joined hands with their broth
ers of the north to suppress the rebellion
and restore the union by armed force.
and survivors OF that mighty army are
in some measure compensated to-day by
pensions to its wounded and disabled
soldiers.
Your petitiners most respectfully re-
mind the Congress tl,at this army could
not have subsistcd or conquered the en-
envy without ations aud the mumition
of war, and these were kept At hand by
the loyal tealnsters in the employ OF
the government at small wages and
often at great sacrifice especially here
in border territory where brother was
arayed against brother, and where there
WAS no road of escape fer the tcs,mstcr
who had'rto drive on and encounter arm
ed force-. southern sympathisers. or
worse yet the cowarlly .-b,shwhacker''
who infested the mountains of tie state.

could at least have bacon, beans, hard
tack nnd coffee for their rntions.
I'VE would further remind congress
that in order to keep the supplies for the

to te greatly exposed in al kinds 81
weather aud contracted colds, rhe,ima-
tism and ether diseases form which we
irrve more or less suffered since aud
these causes, like the soldier boys. Our
ranks are fast timing and our Numbers
lerscning sEry by day, and now "a a part
OF the remnant Of faithful servcnts OF {,
mighty nation we come after patiently

specially an dyet earnestly petition your

recognition for our faithful and layal
services during the ebellion by cnacting
a law whereby every man who was in

WATsoN's WORK.
REPUBLICAN MONEY BACK OF
THE POPULIST CAMPAIGN?

Though Thomas E. Watson in his
speech accepting the Populist nomina-
ton for President at Cooper Union,
New York, on August Is, said that
Roosevelt Stands for those government
tai principles which, in my judgment,
are hurrying this Republic into sor-
did despotism of wealth." the full
speech is being sent broadcast as a Re-
publican document.
The New York World states that
the Republicans are hoping by this
means to estrange "the voters OF the
Bryan Democrats from the National
Democratic ticket"
"a Populist campaign in this state"
continues the World, lis to be made
with a plentiful supply of funds, and
a state organization, it is said. 1t Is
openly intimated that there are not a
few Republicans who would subscribe
literally to the Populist cause, for the
purpose of DETECTING Bryan votes from
Parker"
'In this connection it is announced
that Thomas E. Watson is to deliver
forty speeches in doubtful states, and,
strangely enough, at the precise points
where they might be expected to 90
most harm to the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Watson has been in frequent con-
sultation with a number Of men here
about his plans. Some of these men
were formerly closely Identified with
Bryan"
In connection with the efforts OF
Populists to aid Mr.. Roosevelt, Demo
Gratis are citing this trenchant para
graph from Mr.. Roosevelts pamphlet
on the campaign of 1896:
Thrift, industry, and business en-
ergy are qualities which are quite In
compatible with true Populistic feel
ing. Payment of debt, like the sup
preston of riots, is abhorrent to the
Populistic mind. Such conduct strikes
the Populist as immoral"

The Valley Of the Nile

Is no richer than the fertile coun-
try traversed by the Illinois Cen.
trail railroad in the States of
Tennessee, Mississippi and Lou

awakened to this fact and are
rapidly settling here, for they ap-
preciate the fact that the soil,
crops, climate, water, markets,

the prices are yet very low. Write

THE POST-OFFICE FRAUDS.

Most Of the indicted post-office
grafters are likely to escape punish
ment, for the Administration is evil
IDENTIFY very loath to push the prosecu-
ton against them. Tyner and Bar
rett were acquitted. Beavers and
Machen are out on bail, and the other
cases are resting from one cause or
another. There is a growing convic-
ton that many of these cases will
never be pushed to trial, for the evil
dence that might be produced would
implicate others higher in the Repub-
lican councils, and that would be dis
astrous to the Administration. The
fact that the Republican majority Of
Congress refused to allow an impair
tial investigation is pretty strong
proof that they know that much more
was behind the scenes that would be
uncovered. The claim in the Repub-
lican platform and by Mr.. Roosevelt
in his speech Of acceptance, that the
thieves had been routed out and pun
ished is therefore bombastic talk FOR
political effect. Turn the rascals out.

TEDDY'S CUNNING
EFFORT.
His Defiance of Democrats and At
tempt to Intimidate the Country.

The New York American says Of Mr..
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance:
"But Mr.. Roosevelt makes cunning
effort at frankness.
GAIL that was done during the last
seven years by him and the Republic
can majority was done we'll. No mis-
takes were made, and Mr.. Roosevelt
Insists that the country was never
more prosperous and happy than 1t
Is now.
"Mr. Roosevelt defends his action in
the Panama matter, asks what the
Democrats would have done, and
makes a final stand on the doctrine
of the end justifying the means by
urging that out Of all the scandal, II
there be any, we get the canal.
"He dares the Democrats to define
their position on the gold question,
says the Republicans stood for gold
In 1900 and 1896, and closes the ques-
ton by stating that future develop
ments may change the present Re-
publican view.
Forgetting when he wrote In his
life of Benton that the tariff almost
ruined a certain section Of this coun-
try, Mr.. Roosevelt holds that protec-
ton is good for all people.

French Potatoes.

For French potatoes cook two
large, mild onions very slowly in
enough milk to cover them until
they are tender. Then press them
through a PURGE sieve. For a cup
and half of PURGE there should be
two cupfuls of cold boiled potatoes,
sliced and seasoned with salt and
pepper. Stir these into the PURGE

MONEY IN coRNERsToNEs.
The Survival of an Older and More
Tragic Custom.

The Survival of an Older and More
Tragic Custom.
The practice Of putting money under
the foundation stone of q new building
Is the shadow of an older tragic GUS
tom. The money stands theoretically
for the ransom of the human being
who by ancient superstition should
have been buried in Its place. Other
wise, It was held, the building would
not stand firm and endure.
There was time when this particu-
lar kind of human sacrifice had q
vogue extending to most parts Of the
world. Even In England skeletons
have been found imbedded In the bases
of castle walls, and there is record Of
one German fortress at the building OF
which child was bought from its
mother with hard cash and walled In
to the donjon tower, the unnatural
mother, according to the story, looking
on the while. Efigies of humen be-
ings are still used In some parts Of
Europe as harmless substitutes, and in
rcmoter and more ruthless places the
old custom crops out from time to time
In all its grim reality. Within the last
half century two children, boy and
girl. were. 1t was reported, walled into
a blockhouse by some labor6rs ut

keland's Wood SorreI Said to BE St.
Pntrick's Emblem.
There are many people who do not
know what the real shamrock Is. The
plan: which is often called shamrock
and generally passes for 1t In Ireland
is the Trifolium repens, or white clo-
yer. This plant could not have been
the one which St Patrick held up to
illustrate the doctrine Of the Trinity, ns
it has been known only 200 years In
Ireland and Is a cultivated plant and
not native to the soil.
Edmund Spenser says of the Irish of
1880 that whenever they found a plot
of shamrocks, or watercress, they had
a feast. There were some who gob-
bled the green food as it came, some
looked for the faultless stalk and the
bloom ON the leaf" This shamrock OF

THE ESKIMO DOG.


He Never Knows the Luxury OF =
shelter or q Bed.
The Eskimo dog from his birth to his
death. which In many instances is a
violent one, never knows the luxury Of
shelter or bed. He spends his exist
ence outdoors and appears to be far
more comfortable I'm winter than In
summer. The pups when hardly able
to toddle instinctively show an ambi-
ton to run with sleighs (they never
barl) and Join with their treble squeals
the enthusiastic chorus of h6wls with
which the Eskimo dog invariably
greets the first fall of snow. The ambi-
ton OF the young dogs is coon taken
advantage Of by the Eskimos.
The little fellows are hitched to sleds
In company with full grown dogs. and
to prevent them from being run over
they are tied by the neck to the tow
line, so that when the run starts out
they are compelled to keep up or be
dragged by the team. This simple
though brutal method Of training Is
very effective, and after one or two
runs the young dog Understands what is
wanted OF him. Even before he Ia full
grown he is thoroughly conversant
with his duties.
