From The Rockies To The At
lantic From Canada To
The Gulf
THOUSANDS OF CATTLE FREEZE.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-NOt during the
last six years has the equal OF the
present cold weather been experienced
in the West

from Canada to the Gulf Of Mexico
and from the Rocky Mountains to the
Atlantic. The line of zero weather is
about in the latitude of Memphis. hut
all through the South freezing weather
IS reported. In the North the mercury
has registered anywhere from zero to
As degrees below, the latter mark being
scored at Richiand Center. Wis
Trains everywhere in the West are
from two to twelve hours late. and
because of the packing of the fine snow
in the cuts it is expected that 1T will
be several days before the roads are
able to restore the schedule time, even
If the weather modeIates.
Although details are lacking. it is
estimated that about score of people
have lost their lives, the majority of
the fatalities being in the Southwest,
where distances netween houses and
towns are great and shelter hard to
find.
The loss of cattle on the ranges. par
ticularly on those lying in northern
part OF the southern tier of States, will
be very heavy. w. Il. Bolton. Secre-
tary of the Oklahoma Live Stock
Association, declared tonight that tne
live stock losses In the present cold
weather will he the greatest since the
of 1896 He places the number
of head lost en- the range in Western
Kansas WQafaFn OzIu M M and the
Panhandle of texas at 80, 600 head
Further north. in Nebraska and tile
Dakotas and Montana. the stockmen
are better PREPARED to shelter their
stock, their cattle are better Injured to
cold, and it is expected that their
losses will not be anything near as
heavy as those on the ranges further
to the south.
Officially speaking .this YVES the
.oldest day in Chicago since Feb. 8,
1899. when the mercury registered 20

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
By Cuticura After the
Most Awful Suffering

EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do Cents Worth

81 was troubled with sore hands, so
sore that when would put them in
water the pain would nearly set me
crazy, the skin would peel off and the
flesh would get hard and break. There
would be blood flowing from at least
fifty places on each hand. Words could
never tell the suffering endured for
three years. tried everything, but
could get no relief. I tried at least
eight different doctors, but none did
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when / got through doctoring as when
began. / also tried many remedies,
but none of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. / was discour-
aged and heart-sore. would feel so
bad mornings, to think had to go to
work and stand the pain for ten hours,
I often felt like giving mp my position.
Before I started to work I would
have to wrap every finger up sep
arate1y, so as to try and keep them
soft, and then wear gloves over the
rags to keep the grease from getting
on my work. At night I would have
to wear gloves; in fact, I.had to wear
gloves all the time. But thanks to
Cuticura, that Is all over now.

Davidson was seen ny representa-
tive of The Herald Tuesday and
asked if he had statement to make.
He said he had no statement to make
about his affairs as he had not then
consulted an attorney. but that he
would like to write an article about
that jail. The Herald man didn t
think the Jail had been constructed
with view to much luxury and said
80. Davidson said it was the first Jail
he had ever been IN, though he had
passed though one once
Sheriff Forgey says he will see to 1t
that Davidson doesn't pass through
this Jail.
M. r. A. Henry. State Agent for the
Manhattan. came out from Nashville
Tuesday to investigate. He says
that Davidson is a smooth and motor
ious crook. That he has worked this
same scheme of renting offices and get
ting checks cashed at Dickson and
other points in the State ana that sew
erai big insurance papers tell of his
operations In northern states.
1t seems therefore. that the local
officers have made an important catch.
Davidson had $50 on him when cap
tured and this will doubtless go to

Rev. Elliott White Explains
Why Flag was Debarred

In explanation of his recent action
in refusing a coffin, draped with the
American flag, to enter st. James
church at Long Branch, Rev. Elliott
White has issued an open letter to the
Daughters of Liberty, who were much
exercised over the act, as was noted
in last weeks papers Rev. Mr.. White
says:
1.-THE custom of the Episcopal
church is to cover the casket with the
pail provided by the parish, or else
leave it uncovered, but never open.
In military funeralslonly the flag is
seen, because the deceased has been
in the active service of the United
States government. Such use of the
flag as you purpose in the case of a
private person is inappropriate, be-
cause the burial service is not de.
signed either to question or vindieate
the patriotism or loyalty of the de-
ceased.
The body is not inferred as the
body of citizen of the United States.
but as the body of one who, we hope
andsbelieve is citizen of the king
dom of heaven. Not as American, but
as Christian, it is committed to the
ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes
dust to dust.
The daughters of Liberty seem anx-
ious to protect the American flag Let
them also be at pains to honor it. |

A Great Victory.

The Republican party has gained
great victory in Monmouth County.
Hon. o. H. Brown has been reelected
Senator. by large majority. the
foht for Sheriff was fierce one. The
Democrats used every meaus in thel1
power to win this Office. The light
was all on Sheriff, every one else on
the ticket was abandoned and traded
for this one office. The campaign OF
mud-slinging and personal abuse
was more like the old-tine fierce
fights in Monmouth that was waged
when the Democrats were in absolute
control of the county. Nothing was
too low or mean or contemplate Tor
the Democrats to stoop too and cards
bearing the name of Republican mig
gers and really iof obscene character
for private distribution was clreu-
lated by the heelers. We thought
this kind of campaign had ceased and
more reason and justice had domlnat-
ed the leaders, and all this had been
discarded long ago. But the fight
waged against Sheriff Francis by the
newspapers of Newark, and Demo-
cratic papers in this county was al
most up to the old time standard.
This kind of campaign does not con-
vince anyone, and the voters evil
IDENTIFY took the view that there must
be something in a man who could
awaken so much animosity among
Democrats. The whole truth of the
matter was the democratic papers took
these measures to encompass his de-
feat, rather than relying upon the
good judgment of the voters and
that Sheriff Francis has won, not
withstanding it all, is double vic
tory for him.
The others on the Republican, tick
ct deserved election, as there was
nothing against them, and their
Democratic opponents were only put
up for bluff and the purpose Of
trading for Sheriff. 1t is not thought
that honest. reputable Democrats
will let their names be again used
for such purpose.
The Republicans also gained great
victory for the tax payers in reducing
the number of Freeholders. They
will be voted for at the next general
election.
Monmouth County can now be
safely put in the Republican column,
even in an off-year fight, as this was
called.
Three cheers for the whole Repub-
liean ticket.
