Bryan and Tillman.

A prominent Democrat and one

be a strong combination. 1t

Repnblicana Poisonsd.

1t was recently given out by the
Associated Press that 100 editors
on their way to Chicago had been
poisoned by eating canned beef
and chicken; but upon investiga-
ton it turned out that every man
who was affected had put water in
his whiskey, while many of them
had eaten neither beef nor chicken.
The whole trouble was due to
ignorance and disorderIy conduct.
Not single Democratic editor was
involved in this wretohed affair.
Democrats are more careful about
mixing good whiskey with poor
water.-Kanawha Gazette

The Big Fish Escape.

A dispatch from Kansas City an

companies and two individuall
have been found guilty of rebating
and duly punished.
Swift & Co.. $4,000; Cudahy
Packing Co, $4,000; Armour
Packing Co, $4,000; Nelson &
Co. $l5. 600; Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railway, $4,000. The
maximum fine possible was $4,000
George L. Thomas. of New York,
was fued Sc 600 and sentenced to
four months in the penitentiary.
L B. Tag art, of New York. was
fined 81 900 and sentenced to three
months in the penitentiary.
The ocrporotions, that is, the
men who compose the corporations
were just as guilty as the little fell
lows who went to the penitentiary.
They are criminals of the very
worst stamp, and yet. under the
law made by a Republican Con-
gress, they keep out of Jail and run
political parties as usual. Judges
and juries may do their duty faith
fully, but the Republican politioi-
ans in Congress make it impossible
to Jail the big criminals.

Joined from paying Moore his
wages pending hearing of the
suit.
Mrs. Moore whose masden name
was Minnie Bay, of Prootorville,
makes some sensational charges in
her petition. She says that for
more than three years past her
husband has been an hsbitual
drunkard, that he has frequently
beat her with his fists, and that as
a result of his bad treatment she
has been forced to leave her home,
but always returned on his promise
to do better. She says she left
him June 18th, because he had as
saulted her.
Last August Mrs. Moore fled a
somewhat similar suit against her
husband, but it was withdrawn a
few days later, a reconciliation
having been effected.

ness from the west, are much in
terested in the matter of supplying
the farmers of the big whe4t belt
with sufficient men to harvest the
immense crops this year. and as a
result all sorts of inducements are
being held out to the young man
of the east to go west, even if he
does not stay there to grow up
with the country, but just long
enough to help harvest the big
crops and rake eff between three
and five dollars for days work.
Several hundred old and young
men have been hauled through
Huntington during the past couple
of weeks, all of them bound for the
wheat fields of the west, and yet
the farmers out there are crying
for more hands and the railroads
are doing their best to supply
them. 1t is even asserted the cit

EATON, Ohio. June %, 1906.
To Editor of Register.
Dear Sir:
1 find in looking over the deIin.
quent tax list that they have me
for $59.88. Now 1 don't see why
they did not explain why this had
not been paid, as 1 tried to pay ii
more than six months ago, as Mr.
W, B. Barnett will tell you, but si
they did not explain it 1 will.
AS you will remember when the
Republicans came bowling around
last campaign they told US we were
fools and taxes would be no more
than they had been and as they
never prevaricate any 1 didn't
suppose they would be; but when
my ticket came ont it had been
jumped up from $500 to $500
just little more than $500 of a
jump. One of the County Com
missioners wrote me if 1 would
send $500 that would do, but
did not send that. Now if they
were to be just about one-third
higher than they were last year
why did they not tell us soP ]
suppose if:they could not get S25 OC
more than they did last year they
would take $40 90 more.
Well, now. 1 am still willing to
pay the sum as 1 had paid the year
before. but if 1 had not moved out
of the state they would have pulled
me for the full amount. Just OF
not, and called it "tax reform"
Will you be kind enough to give
this space in your next issue, and
oblidge
