REPUBLICAN SPEAKING
Hon. Jacob YON Addresses fredericksburg
Audience.

Ex-Congressman Jacob YOst, OfStaun-
ton, addressed the Republicans oil TINS
city at the courthouse Wednesday night.
There was a fair crowd in attendance
and Mr.. Yost. who is speaker OF con
siderable force, was given earnest atten-
ton. His presentation OF the Repnbll-
can cause was perhaps the ablest heard
in this city, aud his speech was Tree from
vituperation throughout.
Mr. Yost brought out nothing new IN
his address. and the only thing ont oil
the ordinary was his announcement OF
the Democratic party for having dis
iranchised the negro generally, but at
the same time making him Judge OF cleo
tions mt various precincts in the state.
He referred particularly to Louisa coun-
Nv. and charged that in spite OF the Tact
that there are hundreds OF Respectable
and honest white Democrats IN that
county a Democratic electoral board
has seen fit to appoint nine or ten ne
groes To act a. Republican Judges Mt
various precincts, and this in the lace
OF earnest protest from the Republican
managers Mr.. Yost did not say so in
80 many words, but he minated that
this was done in order to manipulate the
returns. He charged that the negro
election Judge mt Louisa G. ii. had
tried to resign, but had been told by
Democrats that in such event he would
be fined $lJ.
The speaker referred briefly to Con
gresham Jones charge against Judge
Lewis. which he denounced asa Islander,
and then referred to Mr.. Jones allega-
ton that Judge Lewis was presumably
in favor OF the DISTINGUISHING clauses OF
the Underwood constitution. Mr.. Jones
was aware, said Mr.. Yost, that Judge
Lewis brother ran on the ticket with
Gilbert C. Walker. and if he didn't know
that both Judge Lewis and his brother
were opposed to those clauses he is an
ignoramus. He praised Judge Lewis
in the highest terms and pad hlgl
tribute to President Roosevelt, after
which be plunged into n discussion Oh
State issues, touching mainly on the
subjects OF free schools and fair elections;
His discussion followed the usual
lines adopted 10y the Republicans IN TIM
campaign. Mr.. Yost's speech was wei
received throughout.

INDIAN A POOR SOLDIER.
West Point Training May Be Intro,
Guced at the Carlisle
Schools.

Army officers do not agree with the
Indian commissioners as to the value
of converting the Carlisle school into
g sort Of aboriginal West Point. There
has never been much military conf
dence in the Indian as a soldier and
it is doubtful, says a recent report, if
the training for that purpose at Car
Isle will be regarded as a specially
profitable change in the character of
the training at that institution.
There is admittedly another side to
the project in that the Indian may be
made a better n more useful man
by the education Of the youth at Car
Isle for military service. There is no
question that the discipline viii be a
good thing, even should the students
fail Of conversion into suitable SOL
diers. The experience Of the govern
ment with the Indian as a trooper was
not entirely satisfactory, but it must
be said, also, that in the early DAYS
the Indian had no such training as is
proposed at Carlisle.
There is 10 lack Of appreciation that
the new commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs. Mr.. Leupp. understands the In
dian question better than any Of his
predecessors, and his plan for the i'm
prOvement of the Indian youth wilr be
received with due respect.

DISCOVERY OF PEAT BATHS,
Treatment Now Quite Generally APP
proved the Result of an
Accident.

The discovery of the value of peat
baths was made accidentally many
years ago. On the coast of Finistere
there lived at one time a poor family.
The father Of lie family eked out a
scanty living by killing aged cattle
and diFesting them Of their skins
The CHASTITY remains he sold to tan
ners and refiners.
Of the three children which belonged
to this couple one was a poor creature.
delicate and wretched and apparently
half-Witted. The mother was so
ashamed of this boy that she could not
bear to have the child i'll her sight.
Consequently he spent most of his
time, half clothed and badly fed. roll
ing about in the peat boys which were
behind the cottage. Little by little it
was noticed that the child was i'm
proving in health, hat his skin was
becoming as fair and soft as a peach,
his eyes bright and his spirits and &C
tions those of a strong, healthy boy,
instead Of a half-witted little animal.
The old country physician on one
OF his rounds noticed the improved
conditions OF the boy and mentioned
the fact and the cause at a medical
conference in Paris. The result was
the use of the peat bath, which leaves
far behind any other kind of HYDRO
therapic cure known to this dav and
it's success is becoming greater each
season.
