George w. Sewers Of Minneapolis
was today examined before the state
railroad commission on the subject of
the mysterious $5l 900 worth of drafts
which were drawn in his name by the
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road while
he. was the company's attorney. In
sPts 1a stoensy 9Gs Se n
who quoted law and decisions at length,
the commission ruled that the witness
must answer, questions on the subject
as put by Royal A.. Stone, assistant at
torney general, who conducted: the case
at the request Of the commission. Mr..
Severance put in the. same objection
to the witness answ erlng, that the an.
swers would divullge confidential and
privileged information given by client
to attorney. This was true with but
one exception; when the witness was
asked If the money was used in rebates.
Withdraws Objections.
IT withdraw all objection to answer
ing that question: said Mr.. Severance,
and Mr.. Sewers responded that the
money was not used in payment Of any
form Of rebates, The entire morning
was occupied with the arguments Of
the attorneys as to whether Sewers
should be made to answer questions
about the drafts. The final ruling was
that the witness should be held, re-
sponsible for answers to such questions
as the attorney general, the legal ad.
wiser Of the commission, thought should
be responded to.
"Mr. Sewers" began Mr.. Stone, ri

"Shau I answer, Mr.. Severance7" II
have made my objection; I suppose it
is for you to determine" said Mr..
Severance. .:s#
"I think I did not draw those drafts
in pursuance Of any special instruo-

in connection with my general duties.

FROM FREUERICAe

! On Thursday OF last week, Mrs. J. f.
Boone was using carbolic acid for house
cleaning purposes, and on leaving the
room moment, her little three year old
daughter reached the bottle and drank a
very small quantity. The child at once
became unconscious, and was, to all ap-
| pearance dying. DR.. w. F. Hoey was
summoned and speedily administered
antidotes, and under his persistent and
skillful treatment, the suffering child was
restored. She has now almost recovered
from the effects of the acid.

In conjunction with the electric light, they
are to build an ice plant, and work on

A large gang of men are now placing
tall poles for the telephone line throught
Harrington, and are building the line on

Houston will be made into free call cir
cult The line is being built out to the
farm of VIM. Tharp, and along this six
miles of rural road, there are a dozen
farmers who have ordered phones placed
in their residences.
Another thing that the citizens of our /
town are anxious to have brought about /
is the improvement of the streets, by !
some permanent way, instead of the old /
methods OF filling mp holes with ashes
and dirt year after year. In council there
is almost an even division of those who
want sewers built and seme permanent
plans for street improvement carried out;
but unfortunately, the ''let good-enough
alone crowd is able to out-vote the others
now. But if the people will keep this
matter stirred up, they will win out in
the end.

So far as we have been able to
ascertain the cold weather of last
Monday night and Tuesday, has
done no serious damage to the fruit
prospects of this part of the Della
ware and Maryland peninsula. A
gale of wind blew all of Monday,
but the thermometer did not reach
below 81 degrees, and that for a
short time near morning Of Tues
day. A gentle breeze kept frost
from forming, much to the satisfac-
tion Of owners of orchards. On
Tuesday the temperature commen-
ced to go up. and from now on
there is but little to fear from frost
or freezing.

but they, the so-called regulars,
have seen proper to refuse the pro-
1 posals to enter a common primary
under the apportionment Of their
own election, and have conditioned
the harmonizing of all Republicans
into one party for Delaware, in a
way that it is impossible for any
State central committee to comply.
That Union Republicans are grieved
that the best interests of all Repub-
licans are to be made subservient to
a few grating politicians there is no
question; but the time has come
when action must take the place of
proposals, and much as we desire
to have the party honorably united,
it is now necessary for the Union
Republicans of Kent and Sussex
counties to cut loose from New
Castle and start the work which
will result in electing a working
majority in the next Legislature. |
We deprecate the possibility Of los
ing the State ticket; but it will be
no fault of the Union Republicans
Of Delaware that the lower house of
is short arepublican mem
)er; the rebelious so-called regulars
must wear the cross for that perse-
ution. From all parts of lower
Delaware representative men met i
t the call of county chairmen last t
Ionday, and there reported that
le conditions of to-day are fully as
ood for success, as they were two
ears ago. The reported disafec G
on exists in less quantity now
ian it did then, and there is a
D reason why the majority next y
ovember should be less than that =, -
two years ago. There was an
of purpose shown to as OF
ire victory, with the Union Re h
lblicans working earnestly as they u
i'll, to sweep Kent and Sussex - !,
unties and keep them in the Re- W
lblican column without question. W
Milford chronicle., 1906-04-27

"WHAT will become of us regu-
lars ?" This question asked by a
fine old gentleman, who is aligned
with the so-called regular faction Of
Republicans in Delaware, shows
plainly the whole underlying fabric
upholding that organization. We
are sorry to have had the question
propohnded by the gentleman in
question, for we entertained higher
ideals of him in particular, while
recognizing his implied meaning as
the real basis for which the grating
leaders of that organization rally.
With one Republican party in Della
ware, "what would become of us
regulars ?" This is an'easyiproblem
to solve. The honest members
would receive the honor of all Re-
publicans and be welcomed to the
councils of the Republican party;
but, the Balls, the Houstons, Smiths
and the other place hunters, who
have permitted no opportunity to
escape them to keep the Republican
party split, that they may hold the
emoluments of federal office, and
by holding the club Of defeat over
the heads of two-thirds of the Re-
publicans of Delaware, compel the
placing of themselves or their friends
upon the State ticket, and thus Sc
cure what they would never receive
from the whole Republican party
these men. the grafters, would sink
to the level to which they belong.
It's too bad, this having ones idols
shattered; but we did think there
was some honest men among the
so-called regulars, especially in
lower Delaware. What would be-
come of US Unions, or of any Re
publican in lower Delaware, if rep
resentation according to population
should be granted TO either our
State conventions, or thelegislature? ?
We can safely assure our brothers
Of Wilmington and New Castle that
Kent and Sussex is amply capable
af taking care Of them, in politics,
religion or other affairs, and this
particular ambition Of their politi-
clans will forever be will-o-the-
wisp.

its winter term last week, and the teacher,

cation Miss Yancy was obliged to manage s
and teach the school. It is doubtful if l
she can be retained for another term, and a

teacher will fall heavy upon the district, v
