Texarkana, Feb. IA. A week ago a we'll dressed stranger giv- ing his name as M. w. Rosenthal appeared here, claiming to be a travelling representative of a talking machine company in Philadelphia.
 He made such astonishingly low prices that a local firm gave him an order for several dozen machines. He also agreed co give a grand concert to adver- tise the goods and rented the opera house for the purpose, pay ing for same with a check. He also managed to get the local dealer to endorse for him for quite a sum of money and made heavy bills with the newspapers for advertising and job work.
 Saturday night when the per formance was due to- take place he was missing and has not since been heard from. A wire from the talking machine people re- ceived this evening in response to an inquiry said the person was 2 fraud. Some of the checks given by him came back today protested.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democratic party Of Grand Junction, in
convention assembled by its representatives
from the various wards Of the city, for the pur-
pose OF presenting to the voters of the city
municipal ticket for their suifrages, 6esire to
hereby renew their allegiance to the principles
Of the democratic party and to again proclaim
their devotion to the interests OF the common
people.
ment that tho will of the people is its safeguard
and while 1t is true that in the nation, our OPP
ponents, the republican party, have been sue
cessful, because it has the wealth and backing
of corporations with which to prostitute voters
and subvert the will Of the common people,
still the democratic party uudismayed is ever
to the fore in defense Of the rights of the masses
which II represents.
We believe that the democratic party while
at present the minority party, has great duty
to perform and that in the performance OF it
will in due time be everywhere triumphant. 1t
is and has been the party of reform and the
party to which the people rely for the cOrrec-
tion OF abuses, a fact which is most evident be-
cause many of those suggested now in the op-
posite party, for action, are nothing less than
stolen thunder OF democratic platforms.
We believe unquestionably that it is our party
retrenchnent. We believe % in the e. execution moi Of
laws as they are written upon the statute books
and regard II as subyerstye of the principles OF
true democratic form of government, to ac-
cord special privileges to the few, as against
the masses.
We invite all those who desire a progressive
administration of the city affairs and those who
desire to have corrected abuses demanded by
ticket.
We pledge our candidates to inaugurate an
equitable and Just rate of taxation, that the
burden may be reduced gradually and our
bonded indebtedness obiterated through the
means Of an economical government.
We pledge our candidates to evolve some
method for permanent street improvements,
later looking to having same paved in the bust
ness section also tn establish permanent grades.
We pledge our candidates to the enforcement
OF the city ordinances and TO that end will in
sist that each and every officer perform such
service to the city as is contemplated by the
law and the ordinances
We lastly pledge our candidates to an eco
nomical management of the city's interests and
later by purchase or erection to control all the
public utilities for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie and that the administration be watchful of
the small as well as the large concerns in which
the people are interested and to which they pay
their taxes to support.

WORK WELL DONE

1t is not often that a committee
appointed to fill vacancies on a tick
ct perform their work so we'll as
the committee having that work in
hand did for the democratic ticket
In the Fourth ward, on the declin-
alton of w. S. Wallace on the alder
manic ticket. the place has been
filled by w. d. Davies, the well
known paint man permitting his
name to be placed on the ticket Mr..
Davies removed to this city several
years ago from Leadville, Several
times he has been importuned to per-
init his name to be used as a candi-
date. but has positively refused, al
ways on the premise that he was a
probationer in the city and would
wait until some later time.
Mr.. Davies is no longer a proba-
toner. He is a property owner, a
well known and highly esteemed
business man in his trade, and n
man of such sterling qualities that
fits him for the position of alder
man, that the ticllet-all those who
are candidates-are really proud OF
him. The Fourth ward could have
found no better man than Mr. Da-
vies, and with w e. Platt they make
team of business men who should
invite the votes of every man who
has the welfare of the city at heart.
For a short time the committee on
vacancies We're a little nonplussed by
the seemingly necessary withdrawal
of ID. T. Stone. as candidate for
treasurer, but the committee so
ably filled the vacancy that, while
Mr.. Stones withdrawal is regretted.
Mr.. Barkuloo so well fills the bill
that the democracy of the city are
joining as one man in his very ear
nest support for the treasurership.
In the Third ward there was a va
cancy created by Mr.. Plank's with
drawal, due to sickness. Mr.. Plank
was confined to his home for per
iod of 80 days, and his health would
not permit of his performing the du-
ties of alderman. if elected. The
committee had many names under
consideration, but finally induced Mr..
W. NJ. Smith, who is connected with
the w F. White Mercantile Com
The daily sentinel., 1905-03-13

pany a.s 2 stpckh.older, to Permit his
name to be used. Ffa has consented
and viii be a candidate with Mr.
Bannister in the Third ward.
We appeal 10 the sober. Intelligent
sense of the public that the selec-
tions made could not be better That
each of these gentlemen viii serve
the public well is not question
which admits even of discussion. Mr..
Smith shows his faith, after several
years of residence in the city. by
building one of the eity's most beau
tlful homes Besides these connee-
tions that attach him to the city's
welfare, he has connection with 9TH
er schemes of business.
The dominant idea, as has been
repeated several times in this paper.
has been to present to the voters of
Grand junction a ticket about which
there could be no quibbling. The
personnel of the ticket is such that
it should engage the moral support
of the public.
The thanks OF tine democrats Of
the city is due the committee that
has had the filling of vacancies in
charge.

Ths weather. has hard TING in
getting settled. It begins 70 look as
though it was getting squared away
for regular Grand valley weather,
which will be a matter Of oongratula-
tion 10 the public.
The voters of this city should re
member that the registration win
close on next Saturday night, and
they should govern themselves ac-
cordingly. Every voter owes it as
a duty to his citizenship TO particle
pate in the election. That sacred
privilege. which he regards lightly
at times. is what has cost lives and
bloodshed to secure.
You'll hardly meet a democrat
that is not relatively proud of his
municipal ticket. His confidence in
and enthusiasm for his ticket comes
largely from the fact that the public
generally believes that the demo-
cratic party made honest endeavor
in It's convention to place a ticket
before the public that would invite
it's support Setting aside any con-
sideration whatever of the head of
the ticket, We can agree with the
general feeling of satisfaction which
is most noticeable.

Mayor Purdy has offered a reward

a most salutary one to stop safe
blowing. Put a price on the head OF

that we found many new lines

money to the Town, which could be
applied toward the expense Of con-
structing the sewer. 1t was finally
decided to hold a special meeting
tomorrow night when the matter
will be disposed of.
In regard to the matter of sewer
on East Third street, Mr.. Runyon
moved that the same be built from
Locust street down East Third
street to connect with the present
sewer. That six inch pipe be
used, that bids be asked for and that
the work be done under the direc-
tion of the Town Engineer. Second
ed by Mr.. Magee.
The next matter taken up was
the paving of Center street from
Main street to the alley below the
| Opera House. J. r. Fowler and c.
w. Miller were present and SUBMIT
ed an estimate of the cost. The
Towns share would be $500. This
amount H. J. Clark and J. R.
Fowler agreed to pay providing it
be deducted from their taxes until
it is wiped out. The desirability
and necessity of the improvement
was fully explained by Mr.. Miller.
The Council was divided on the
matter. Mr.. Magee and Mr.. Run
yon opposed it on account of the
present depleted condition of the
treasury and the latter stated that
it was only matter of pride.
Mr.. Giger and Mr.. Deily favored
the proposition, and thought this
good place to start the paving.
After some discussion Mr.. Giger
moved, seconded by Mr.. Deily that
the Town accept the proposition
and pave the street. Mr.. Magee
again expressed his opposition and
stated that large part of the ex-
pense would come off of this year S
taxes. Mr.. Fowler sought to over
come this latter objection by offer
ing to pay tLeir taxes in full this
year if Council would pave the
street, and changed the proposition
to Council accordingly. Mr.. Magee
made an amended offer that mas
much as Mr.. Townsend another
property owner was not included in
this proposition the whole matter
be laid over until the next meeting.
This was put to a vote and carried.
The matter of exonerating new
industries for period of ten years
was favorably acted upon, after
which it was voted to borrow $1,000
at rate not to exceed five per cent,
in such amounts as may be required
to run the town affairs, until the
taxes come.
Orders for bills presented were
issued, and the meeting adjourned.

DEATH SUMMONS
DAVID G. HACKETT
While Yet in Love With Life
He Passed to Silence
and Eternity.
ANEURtSM WAS FATAL.


G. Hackett, superintendent of the
Columbia & Montour Electric Rail-
way, at his place of residence on
the Third floor of the First National
Bank building at nine o'clock Fri
day morning, after an illness Of
several months duration.
AT the beginning of his ailment,
DIR. Bruner was called in and he
gave it as his opinion that Mr..
Hackett was suffering from an
arterial tumor. Later, realizing
that his condition was gradually
growing worse, he went to Altoona
to consult physician. He re-
ceived but little encouragement,
and returned home, and then went
to Philadelphia, to consult special
ist, who confirmed the diagnosis of
DIR. Bruner, and informed him
that an operation would be of no
avail.
After arriving home his condi-
ton took very serious turn, and
several times during the week pre-
ceding the end, it was thought he
was dying. He apparently fully
realized that the angel of death was
lowering near, and that the next
moment might be his last, still he
would rally from the sinking spells,
and appear the most cheerful per-
son in the room. Friday morning
he had an attack, which proved to
be the last. He lapsed into uncon-
sciousness. and closed his eyes in
that sleep which knows no awak-
ing.
Mr.. Hackett was 49 years of age
having been born at Altoona in
1856. He graduated from the public
schools of that city, and shortly
afterward, entered the field of
journalism. His first position, was
that of business manager for the
Altoona Tribune. He resigned to
accept similar position with the
Sentinel, of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
This position he filled for num-
Der of years, after which he return
ed to Altoona, where he became
one of the organizers of the MiryOr,
and was its business manager.
He left the newspaper business,
and became associated with his
brother-in-lsw, f. R. Sponsler, OF
Harrisburg. In the early part OF
1901, he came to Bloomsbury, serv-
ing in the capacity of superintend-
ent of the construction, and pur-
chasing agent for the Columbia s.
Montour Electric Railway Co., in
which position he continued until
October 1902, when, upon the resig.
nation of Mr.. Fisher, he was made
superintendent of the road, and at a
subsequent meeting he was elected
secretary of the Company. Mr..
Hackett was recognized as an &C
complished electric railway man,
and possessed thorough and COM
plete knowledge of every phase OF
the business.
There survives Mr.. Hackett his
wife, formerly Miss Anna Eyer,
daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Eyer OF
West Main street, to whom he was
married on the twelfth of March,
1903; one son, Cadwallader, and
his parents who reside in Altoona
and who were with him when he
died.
The funeral took place at half
past one Monday afternoon, and
was largely attended by relatives
and friends, including many Of the
prominent men of the town. The
services were in charge of Rev. DR..
