Rufus N. Rhodes is the owner and editor of the "News;' he or his paid employe writes vicious attack on the democratic party in the issue of Novem- Der 5. This article is based on error pure and simple; there is not true, full state ment of facts, in it.
 Rhodes denounces all men who support the ticket. as men without particle or sense or prudence"
 Rhodes denounces all the men who have spoken for the ticket as not worthy of belief and as hot air boys
 Rhodes says, in effect, that thirty-four of the best men in this county are worse than perjurers. Rhodes says, in effect, that man Is better, by refusing to stick to a solemn pledge and by making sacred promise and violating it, than he is, if he keeps his promises and pledges. This is his idea of good morals and of right. The truth is. Rhodes is scared and sore; he has taken a position that he thought was popular and has found his mistake; he felt of the public pulse on the sidewalk, but did not go in the office; he waited a long time before he decided which was the popular cord, and then he plunged. Now he sees his error. Rhodes knows

A Card From MT. Benners.

A gentleman. Major Mcconnell, stated to me today that he had never seen a public denial from me of the charge that l was an attorney for Judge Stiles.
 This charge was made while the com rnittee was in session and then denied emphatcally by me. and the charge and denial printed in the newspaper reports of the proceedings.
 As q matter of fact, I was never asked by any one to act as Judge Stiles attor- ney in any capacity, nor did l volunteer to do so I did not do so in any capacity at any time. shall at no time receive. nor have l received, directly or indirectly, any re- ward of compensation for my services, except the feeling of satisfaction that I have given the best that was in me to the cause of honest elections.
 The campaign against the democratic ticket has been one based principally on misrepresentatons and ingenious half truths, designed and intended to deceive. In speeches (which the Higdon forces have been uniformly advised not to go to hear) these misrepresentation have been answered and cleared up. At 20 cents a line, it has been too expensive to print denials of all falsehoods perpetrated in this campaign.

Paris, November 5.--Parlament reas- sembled this afternoon
 The chamber of deputies was crowded when the cabinet minister entered and all eyes We're on premier Clemenceau and War Minister Picquart, but there was no demonstration of an extraordinary na- ture, The premier when he read the ministerial declaration of policy was fol- lowed attentively and evoked several rounds of applause. especially when he announced that tue law separating church and state, as applied would insure full exercise of liberty of conscience. A mo- ton approving the governments pro- gramme was carried by the great major ity of 395 to g6
 As the change in the cabinet was due solely to the i'll health of Premier sar- rien, the declaration of policy announced that with the support of the country at the last elections, the government only intended to pursue actively the work of reform. and that it's foreign policy would remain unchanged.
 Arms Guarantee independence. "Founded upon peace with dignity" said M. Clemenceau. i've can say with pride that during the thirty-fve years of the republic there has not been one minute when We could be accused of threatening the peace of Europe. At the same time. since the peace of the world is based on force of arms, we cannot dis arm, for to do so, would destroy the guar antee of our independence. Until the .,f tbot l,ttf ai ia V when the regime of force win be changed. our first duty is not to weaken our de- fensivo powers, of which our internation al understanding form an important elo- ment in cultvating good relations with other powers. We must carefully main tain the alliances contracted in the in- terests of peace as well as the friendships whose value has already been proven; and we must not forget at difficult periods that moral authority and upright policy openly practiced can become determn- ing factors in European operation with out which no government in future can fail to reckon
 Work for Democratic Government. In interior affairs, the premier con tinued, the policy of the ministry would be no less clear the object being the definite installation of a democratic gov ernment. The declaration of policy then outlined the concrete propositions. the ap- plicaton of the law separating church | and statc the realization of workmen s i pensions, the extension of the law govern l ing labor unions, the reform of the min 1 ing laws, the introduction of q demo- cratic spirit in the army by the reduction of the term of service to two years, the | suppression of courts martial, relief of the wine growers and progressive income | tax, and concluded with an expression of 1 the governments unshakeable determina- tion to transform into acts the just de- mands of the democracy.

An Odd Cure.

Are you sufferer from Indigestion?
Here is curious remedy. Rev. John
Spencer of Duluth has brought back
with him from Ceylon one of the most
curious presents in the world. Riding
on an elephant" he said the other day,
behind a native prince on hunting
expedition, the conversation CHANGED
to turn on Indigestion, to which ] said
l was subject. The prince at once
pulled out a black leather button kind
of thing, which he was wearing on n
string round his neck, under his
clothes. What's that?' said |. "A hy-
ena's snout,' was the startling reply.
What for?' To cure indigestion How
can 1t do this?' 1t is very simple. A
.hyena gets It's living by digging up and
crunching old bones. Now. it pcs
,sesses in its snout this peculiar virtue,
THAT when its nose approaches any
thing hard, such as bones, those tough
substances instantly grow soft, and
enable the animal to eat them with
comfort and benefit. So you Will find
n you keep this charm hanging round
your neck the proximity of the hyena's
nose, though dried up and lifeless, will
soften your food. however indigestible,
TO such an extent that you will never
again suffer from indigestion.
