Died At Amarillo.

The intense suffering of Mrs.
IA. j. OverhulS was brought to an
end last Sunday evening about 6
O'Clock by the visitation of the
angel of death as the patient
was seeking relief and life in the
Sanitarium at Amarillo.
Funeral services were held Mon
day at the Presbyterian church, in
the city where she met death, and
host of friends both from here and
at Amarillo attended the sad rites
of the deceased. Mrs. Overhuls
was universally loved by our
townspeople AMI her death brings
sorrow to all hearts.
We understand that the surviv
ing young children of the deceased
widow will make their home in the
future with their brothers who live
in Amarillo.
DEATH.
Why speak of death as bitter
For it's the dawn of life;
'Tis but a change in moment made
And then comes rest from strife.
Why speak ofdeath as an angel dark?
No, his wings are silvery bright;
He will bear thee above earth's strife
and toll
To a land OF love and light.
Death Is Il step from a darkened room
TO II world of golden light,
Where never whitening flowers bloom
Untouched by winters blight.
Why fear the shining angel
Who bears thee to thy throne,
Unto world OF vaster joys
Than thou hast ever known?
Why fear to cross those waters
Whose waves break on that shore
Where heavens blissful music rings,
And sorrow is no more?
Why fear the darkness of the grave?
There's nought to fear amid its
gloom;
Death but begins u brighter life,
The gate of heaven is the tomb.

Whether the bacilli that causes tu-

same as those which cause it in other
warm.blooded animals, and even fish,
or whether they merely change their
appearance with their environment, is
question for the meteorological eX-

from other animals has not the vital
interest that the undoubted fact has
that we can, and do, become Injected
by the germs that other men carry
about, and that the home, the place
where we take refuge from the ills OF
life. is precisely where this dread dis
ease attacks u.s. Inside the four walls
of our houses is where these deadly
germs are implanted, are nurtured,
and bring forth their harvest. 1t is
at home we must begin to defend our
selves. 1t is the part of wisdom to
do away with the dust-catching drape.

must have carpets, sweep them with
wet tea leaves sprinlled on them.
Wipe the furniture with moist cloth,
not flirt the dust around with a bunch
of feathers on stick. Dust is dan
gerous. Remember that. Better to
have some critic write "Sloven" in
the dust upon the mantelpiece than
cloud the air with it and poison your

Pensions: The Democracy would
secure to the surviving soldiers and
sailors and dependents generous pen
sions, not by an arbitrary executive
order, but by legislation which CRATE
ful people stand ready to enact. Our
soldiers and sailors who defend with
their lives and constitution and the

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL DENOUNCED.
Merchant Marine: We denounce the
ship subsidy bill recently passed by the
United States Senate as an iniquitous
appropriation of public funds for pri-
vate purposes and a wasteful, illogical
and useless attempt to overcome by
subsidy the obstructions r.ised by Re-
publican legislation to the growth and
development Of American commerce on
the sea. We favor the upbuilding Of
merchant marine without new or addi
tional burdens upon the people and
without bounties from the public
treasury.
"Civil Service: The Democratic
party stands committed to the prin-
ciples of civil service reform, and we
demand their honest, just and impair
tial enforcement. We denounce the
Republican party for it's continuous
and sinister encroachments upon the
spirit and operation of civil service
rules, whereby it has arbitrarily dis
pensed with examinations for office in
the interests Of favorites and employed
all manner of devices to over-reach and
set aside the principles upon which the

Condemnation of Polygamy: We de-
mand the determination Of pOlygamy
within the jurisdiction Of the United
States, and the complete separation OF
church and State in political affairs.
Reclamation of Arid Lands and Do
mestic Development: We congratulate
our Western citizens upon the passage
of the measure known as the New

and reclamation of the arid lands Of the
West-a measure framed by Demo-

partisan vote and passed in the House
against the opposition of almost all
the Republican leaders by vote, the
majority Of which was Democratic. We
call attention to this great Democratic
measure, broad and comprehensive as it
is working automatically throughout
al time without further action of Con-
gress until the reclamation of. all the
lands in the arid West capable of re-
ciamation is accomplished, reserving
the lands reclaimed for home-seekers
in small tracts and rigidly guarding
against land monopoly as an evidence

contemplated by the Democratic party

THE PLATFORM.
eve, the delegates to the Democratic
party Of the United States, in national
convention assembled, declare our De.
votion to the essential principles OF
the Democratic faith which bring us
together in hearty communion.
"Under them local self government
and national unity and prosperity were
alike established They underlatd our
independence, the structure Of our free
republic and every Democratic exten-
sion from Louisiana to California and
faithfully in all the States the tie be-
tween taxation and representation.
They yet inspirit the masses of our
people, guarding jealousy their rights
and liberties, and cherishing their fra
ternity, peace and orderly deveiep-
ment. They remind us OF our duties
and responsibilities as citizens, and
impress upon us, particularly at this
time, the necessity of reform and the
rescue Of the administration Of gov
ernment from the headstrong, arbi-
trary and spasmodic methods which
distract business by uncertainty and
pervade the public mind with dread,
distrust and perturbation.
1.-THE application Of these fundamcn,
tai principles to the living issues of
the day constitutes the first step to
ward the assured peace, safety and
progress Of our nation. Freedom Of
the press, of conscience and of speech,
equality before the law of ell citizens,
the right of trial by jury, freedom OF
the person defended by the writ OF
heabeas corpus, the supremacy of civil
over military authority; well dis
ciplined militia; the separation of
Church and State; economy In expen-
0itures; low taxes, that labor may he
lightly burdened; the prompt and
sacred fulfllment OF public and pri-
yate obligations, including fidelity to
treaties; peace and friendship with all
nations, entangiing alliances with
none; absolute acquiescence in the will
Of the majority, the vital principle of
republics-these are doctrines which
Democracy has established as proverbs
Of the nation, and they should be con-
stantly invoked, preached, resorted to
and enforced.

made in the annual expenditures of the
government without impairing the ef-
ficiency Of any branch Of the public
service, and We shall insist upon tho
strictest economy and frugality COM
