MKTNNEYS WITHDRAWAL

The withdrawal of Joseph McKin-
ney, the independent democratic can
didate for sheriff, on the eve of cleo
rion, has most peculiar significance,
and is today the leading topic of con-
versation throughout the county.
Only last week he visited this sec
ton, and announced with confidence,
that he had a ''lead pipe Cinch'' on
the election. At the time of his
withdrawal he had practically fin
ished his campaign, and could there
fore await the verdict of the people
without additional expense. In his
withdrawal he states that he has
ascertained that he could not be
elected, and that his candidacy was
in the interest of the republican can
didate. and being d democrat he felt
that it was his duty therefore to
withdraw. At this, the eleventh hour,
he has shown a consideration for the
democratic candidate which he did
not previously possess. In his at
tempt to turn his following over to
the democratic candidate he has put
himself in position that has given
the people an opportunity to question
his motive which they are doing in nc
Ii
litical prefeFment.in the future is de-
pendent upon his ability to deliver the
independent voters to any candidate,
then it is not likely that he has an
asset upon which he will ever be able
to realize. 1t has been stated that
he carries the votes or several hun
dred people IN his pocket, and that
he could swing them to either of the
three candidates now in the field.
He has evidently decided to attempt
to cast this vote for the democratic
candidate, but the important ques-
tion now is: Can he deliver the
goods? Have the independent voters
of this county reached such depth
of political depravity that they can
be traded and switched around al
the will of any man? or will they &C
to the polls Tuesday next and by
their vote assert their independence
as American citizens and cast theil
ballot for the man of their choice:
We believe they will show Mr.. Nc
Kinney that they are free American
citizens and have sufficient intelli
gence and manhood to cast theil
ballots without dictation from any
man. The fact that Mr.. Mckinney.
support was from the Independent
voters of the county is a conclusive
argument that they are independent
in thought and action, and this, o.
itself, is a sufficient guarantee thai
they will not now be dictated to by
him. When he withdrew from the
race their allegiance to him ceased
and his attempt to vote them fol
any one is reflection upon bott
their intelligence and their honor
which they will resent as surely a:
the polls open Tuesday next.

The efforts of the Guardian to
place the credit of larger tax roll
and lower taxes upon the supervisors
is in startling contrast to its express
sions on the same subject about 4
wear ago. At that time it criticised
the board very severely for failing to
do what the Guardian said it ought
to have done on tax matters. There
was no election on last year, however,
and it could afford to say things
which it would not dare to say this
year.

The state of New York has had for more

so Judicfously has New York handled it
that Few persons are aware of the fact that
there are more than 5000 Indians living
on reservations in this state, maintaining
tribal relations without controversy. dis

the number of such Indians on reserva

acres near the city of Syracuse
twenty years ago the number of Indians
on reservations In New York state was
4,oO0. Thirty years ago II was T. 7U1 Forty
years ago II was 4. 13a. Fifty years ago It
was 1854. Instead of New York Indians
on reservations dying out they appear to
be increasing.
The Indians on the Cattaraugus and
Anesany reservations receive an annuity
from both the state and federal govern
ments. The Indians on the st. Regis reser-
walton get an annuity from the state only.
The Tonawanda Indians, who number 500
and who have g. reservation of 1900 acres
not far from Buffalo. receive for their SUD-
port OF what Is known as the wood tax"

get an annuity also from the state. In adtii-f

seeds are shed into suitable cavities.
On the top of the old garden wall IN
front of me as l write are the graceful
waving plumes of a tall asparagus plant
How did 1t get there? No gardener plant
ed 1t in that high and arid position. 1t
has travelled there from the asparagus
bed in the garden. How has this been ac-
eomplshed? The asparagus incloses its
seeds in temptng-looking red berry.
Some bird, after feeding on asparagus
berries, has perhaps cleaned its beak on
the wall, and a stray seed has lodged in
a crevice. 1t has grown up in this I'M
likely position and is now tall plant
four or five feet high. Or perhaps the seed
passed through the digestive tract OF the
eater uninJured, and afterward grew. 1t Is
said that farmers in some places when they
wish to grow a thorn hedge quickly feed
turkeys on the haws. and afterward SOW
the seeds. And If you have garden you
may often see the walls little heaps
of seeds of raspeberries, gooseberrfes, etc,
left there by the birds which have been
feeding on the fruits. II the garden is an
old one you wifi probably have growing
on your walls gooseberry and raspberry
bushes elder trees, etc, and all due to the
fruft-eating habits of birds. Many fruit
bearing plants thus travel by means of
birds
The purple flowers of the burdock are

are perhaps more familiar from their habit
of clinging to the garment of the passerby.
Children are wont TO throw them at each

multitude of little hooked bristles with
which they are covered Thus the rabbit
and sheep carry them off on their backs,

CHICAGO BANK FAILS
Deficit of State Institution
 Nearly $l,OOO,ooO.
FAILURE CAUSED BY SPECULATION
Gambling In Real Estate and Se- curities Brings Ruin to Deposit. CTS - Suspension Causes
 Suicide.

CHICAGO, Aug. With deficit in its accounts of close to S1,00O,OOO and with the whereabouts of two of it's chief officers unknown to the authori- ties, the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, one of the larger outlying banks In Chicago. was closed by State Bank Examiner c. c. Jones. The bank had deposits amounting to about S4,0O0, 900 and loans and credits to about the same sum.
 The failure was responsible for the death of one of the depositors and led to the suicide of another man who . month ago had placed the earnings of a lifetime in the institution. In the excitement following the announce ment of the failure J. G. Visser, an of- ncer of the Royal league, who had on deposit in the bank funds of that or ganization. fell dead. Henry sKoepke, q grocer, on hearing that the bank had suspended payment, went to the rear of his store and shot himself. He died . few minutes later.
 Riotous scenes attended the an- nouncement of the failure. and large force of policemen struggled all day to keep an excited crowd of depositors, nearly all of whom were foreigners and many of whom were women, from rushing the doors of the institution.
 The fact that the bank was on the verge of failure was first revealed by the president of the institution, Paul o. Stensland, in letter written from St. Paul to his son Theodore. who Is vice president of the bank. The letter was received last Saturday, and 1t started the investigation which brought about the suspension.
 Cashier Henry w. Herring has dis appeared, and a warrant has been is- sued for his arrest on a charge of em- bezzlement.
 After receipt of the letter from Pres ident Stensland and acting on instruc- tions contained therein, Vice President Theodore Stensland opened a deposit box and discovered proofs that the banks funds were in bad shape. Pres ident Potter of the American Trust and Savings bank. which acted as clearing agent for the defunct institu- ton, was called into consultation. The state auditor was informed. and he sent Bank Examiner Jones to make a full investigation. The shortage of be- tween s150.0Oo and Si.0J0.OO0 is said to be due to speculation in real estate and in the security market Members of the clearing house committee were told that most of this amount was un- protected by adequate collateral The stensland family owned much of the bank stock.

CONSTIPATION AND APoPLExY.

They Go Hand fin Hand and People
 With Bowel Costiveness Should
 Not Run the Risks They Do
 -Dr An,es's Specific
 Keeps the Bowels
 Regular.
 Geo. L. Dexter & Co, waterbury's enterprising and reliable druggists are selling Dr Ames's Pleasant Speci- fic for the cure of constipation. dys- pepsia and biliousness. and the pre- vention .os apoplexy. at half price. a regular 50-cent package for p cents, and guaranteeing cure.
 If you suffer from constipation, look out for apoplexy the dreaded. fa- tal disease. There is no danger from apoplexy when the bowels are kept regular with Dr Ames' Pleasant spec fife.
 Headaches and dizzy spells quickly disappear when the specific Is taken. as 1t sweetens the stomach and cor rects the digestion: 1t causes .he bowels to move with regularity and the laggy liver to do it's work prop erly.
 Dr A. S. Mead. the well known sur geon dentist of Danbury. writes this fin commendation of the pleasant specific:
 "You ask what think of pr. Ames's Specific, am delighted with its action. For years I suffered with chronic constipation and stomach dis orders. attempting at various times 10 find relief in recommended remedies, and even undergoing treatment in New York with a specialist. have spent a great many dollars trying to be cured. only to find myself as bad ly off as ever as soon as 1 discontin- ued using medicine daily. Early this year. as you recollect. I obtained a supply of Dr Ames's Specific and be- gan to take the pleasant pellets. It was not long before I noticed q pro- nounced improvement in my condi- ton. My food tasted better and there was entire absence of distress after eating. My bowels soon became reg- ular and have continued so to this day, although it is some months since I have taken the specific. am glad to recommend SO excellent a medicine
 We urge sufferers to hasten and SC cure a supply while the chance offers as our time e limited. We give a per sonal guarantee of q cure or money back. George l.. Dexter & Go. Cor ner East and North Main street. Wa tefbury.

LONG FLIGHT IN AIR
Thomas Balloon Sails From New York to Bay State.
BEGIN AERIAL TRIP AT MIDNIGHT.
Voyage, Made For the Purpose of Testing New Guide Rope and
 Water Anchor, h Very

BRANT ROCK, Mass, Aug. r. Sailing above the clouds and over 225 miles of panoramic land and water from New York city and landing at the little seashore resort of Brant Rock, Mass, near the historic town of Ply mouth, Dr. Julian F. Thomas of New York city and Roy Knabenshue, pro- fessional aeronaut, made one of the most successful balloon. t6ps yet un- dertaken in this country and learned much, it is believed, that will assist in the development of aerial naviga- ton.
 Dr. Thomas in an interview said that the trip from every point of view was the most successful he has yet accom- plished. The balloon was undamaged, but Aeronaut Knabenshue was cut slightly during the final descent at this place. Otherwise nothing marred the flight.
 The voyage was made with one stop and that a voluntary one at Noank. Conn.,. where by the aid of new guide rope Dr. Thomas brought his big bal loon to the earth to procure breakfast and water almost as skillfully and with as accurate judge of distance of pilot bringing huge liner to her dock. The aeronauts were nearly twelve hours on their trip.
 The start was made from the Union Gas works at One Hundred and Eight eenth street, New York, and the trip was made for the purpose of testing two new appliances, guide rope and water anchor. The former device worked with great success. q.
 The ascent from the gas works was made without mishap at midnight. The balloon rose high over New York city and impelled by q gentle south west wind sailed of over Long Island sound. The balioonists had a wonder ful and unusual view of the earth be- cause of the clear light of full August moon. After several miles, however. a thick fog swept in between the sway ing car and the waters of the sound. To the dismay of the aeronauts they were unable to tell whither they were drifting. This was perhaps the most trying moment of the journey. Of this Dr. Thomas said: We were not fright sned. I have always been lucky"
 At about 5 o'clock in the morning the dark outlines of land could be made out through the fog. and by the aid of his new devices of water anchor and guide rope Dr. Thomas landed gently at Noank. Conn, in the yard of Hilton Eldridge.
 Over Narragansett bay and into Mas sachusetts the balloon sailed. Hills. rivers and busy manufacturing cities stretched in one fat perspective under meath. Far ahead. however, but draw ing rapidly near. was the ocean. Prep arations were at once made for a final descent.
 The car dropped rapidly but not vio- lently until 1t struck the meadow land belonging to George H. Thomas at 2rant Rock The car. made unsteady by it's lack of ballast, bounded along the ground for over a hundred yards before its anchor brought it up with the open waters of Massachusetts bay scarcely 3O0 yards distant
