The Panama Mystery.

Evidences are multiplying to
show that William j. Oliver is a
great contracting engineer. He
made the low bid for the contract
of building the Panama canal, but
for some reason or other, no one
knows just what, his bid was
thrown out after having been
virtually accepted. There have
been some queer things in con-
neotion with that Panama canal
job, and the Oliver circumstance
was not the least strange. When
his low bid was finally shelved Mr..
Oliver made an outcry, as was
natural and excusable. But since
then something has happened.
And the thing that happened is
significant. A newspaper dispatch
says that Mr.. Oliver has been
made president of big trust COM
pany at fine salary. And that
sort of job is considerably better
and easier than jabbing a spade
into the stiff and germ ridden mud
and sunbaked clay of the isthmus.
Wallace made a good start, and
then received a call to come home
and take something better. Stew
ems took up the work with a vim,
and he, too, was called home to
take something easier and better.
Then Shonts followed. Then
came Oliver, a responsible con-
tractor, who put in the low bid for
the job under the new order of
things. Just as he was about to
start for the isthmus he was no.
tilted that all plans had been
changed and the army engineers
decided upon as bosses of the
work. At about the same time
comes the report that Mr.. Oliver is
to be made president of a big trust
company. There are some very
mysterious doings connected with
that Panama canal job.--The Com

Facts About the Grip.

The grip is highly infectious.
1t stimulates other diseases.
The grip picks out the weak
points of a PERSONS constitution.
The grip in itself is by no means
a mortal disease. 90
The victims of the grip ere adults
who perish from pneumonia or
bronchitis, and the aged who sink
from heart exhaustion.
Children, while prone to the dis
ease, enjoy comparative inn
muity from it's complications and
dangers.
In adults, the attack as a rule
comes on with lightning like speed.
A person apparently in perfect
health is suddenly overcome by a
feeling Of discomfort and depres-
sion.
He "runs" at the nose; He feels
chilly; His head aches; His eyes
pain him.
What to do-go to bed at once;
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and quinine as directed for in
fluenza.
Do this and the grip is soon
shorn OF It's terfors. For sale by

place, Roosevelt was not fighting
official treason, as he pretended.
Burton had offended him. That
was enough, Burton was con-
victed. 1t was the Roosevelt ami
mostly that did it. What a COM
mentary on the integrity of our
Federal courts, which should have
been insensible to any considera-
ton of that kind. Yet everybody
knows it was the Presidential in
fluence that turned the trick, and
nothing else.
The body of Burton's offense
was thought to be his making
public a letter of Roosevelt's in
which he indorsed Burton's "Jeru-
salem" concession at the Worlds
Fair. Since his release from jail,
Burton says it was due to his
hostile action against the Sugar
Trust. This offended Roosevelt
deeply. AS if to verify Burton's
statement, comes the revelation
from Philadelphia, showing how
this monster remorsely ruined one
/ of the city's great financial institu-
tions, and drove one of its officers
to dishonor, and another to suicide.
1t is also revealed that Theodore
Roosevelt, advertising himself as
the great "trust buster" of the
ages, pattern of rectitude, i'm
partiality and honor, was ap-
pealed to, time and again, to move
against this voracious demon
which spared none, and how, while
never relaxing his righteous pose,
he refused to make a move.-St.
Louis Censor.

Burton and Roosevelt.

Indeed, the punishment of Bur-
ton really had nothing to do with
an effort to sustain the honor of
the Republic. Burton lay five
months in jail because he offended
that popular pottery idol, Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Now, why did
not the idol, in the popular con-
ception, paragon, representative
of all the virtues, fearless defend
er of the people, and devourer
blood-raw Of all who dare menace
his beloved subjects, 60 after the
big traitors, after Aldrich and his
organization of plutocracy's toolsp
If Burton was once guilty, these
men were a thousand times SO.
Because, in the first place, these
men, with the trusts behind them,
are too strong for Roosevelt, and

GoodWateP Items.

The freshet of the 10Th instant
did considerable damage to roads,
fences and fields throughout this
section. Much of the soil was
washed from freshly plowed fields,
and, in some instances, meadows
were damaged by having gravel
bars and drift-stuff deposited up
on them.
Wheat is growing we'll and pre-
sents a fine appearance now.
Farmers are preparing ground for
corn planting as rapidly as pos
sible.
Spring is earlier here this year
than it has been for a number OF
years past; in fact, if | am not
mistaken, it is. earlier than at any
time since 1871. On the Sth of
March, 1871, when the hurricane
passed over the region of country
near Belgrade, oats were germin-
ated and many farmers were ready
for corn planting.
Fruit trees of all kinds are
heavily loaded with bloom and
grass is growing rapidly. Judg-
ing from present prospects, this
year bids fair to be noted for un-
usually heavy yields of fruits.
However, one hard frost will be
sufficient to turn the scale and cut
short the fruit crop.
The following named persons,
with their respective families, have
moved to the places named: Mrs.
Rebecca Abbott, to her sons farm

Good Judgment

Is the essential characteristic of
men and women. Invaluable to
good business men and necessary
to housewives. A woman shows
good judgment when she buys

The Gracious Trinity.

[Some modern translations make it read
Faith, Hope and Love-" in lieu OF the "Faith
iope and Charity OF the older version.
The knowledge felt OF things unseen,
That spurns what Reason saith,
That in the heart defles the brain
And conquers-that is Faith.
The longing beck ming on the way
Where beauteous visions ope,
That deafens us to Fortunes "Nay''
And strengthens-thati is Hope.
The spirit sweet that rules the earth
And, too, the heavens above,
That measures all there is OF worth
And blesses-that is Love.
No Love no Hope, no Hope no Faith,
For live the three in one;
When Love expires a three-fold death
Bereaves, and all are gone. E.D.A.

From Washington, D. G.

Many leading Democrats who,
before they left here after the ad-
journment of the Congress, talked
to me anent the political situation
and outlook, gave it as their opin-
ions and l coincide with them, that
the two great issues for the Demo-
Gratis to advocate in the next cam
paign would be tariff reform and
reduction and incidentally the con-
troll and destruction of the trusts
of the country who are doing busi-
ness in restraint of trade, and
States rights as opposed to the
idea of Secretary Root and Presl-
dent Roosevelt. AS the case
stands to-day, the present ad-
ministration stands for the present
tariff wall and the maintenance of
the trusts meath its shadow, and as
rank and broad a species of ex-
treme Federalism as was ever ad-
vocated by Alexander Hamilton.
Are we to have State sovereignty
or a strong centralized govern
ment? Think it over.
The so-called war between the
President and the big railroad
managers is tempest in teapot.
1t is all sound and fury signifying
nothing. A lot of these railroad
buccaneers, who got all they
wanted out of this administration
last year when the railroad rate
bill was passed, just as I said they
would when the President laid
down and allowed Aldrich to have
his amendments put into the bill
and when he went back on Bailey
and Tillman and Chandler, have
been over here putting up a poor
mouth to the President and talk
ing through the administration
papers to the effect that they have
been begging the President not to
sit on them so hard it would mash
all the water out of their stocks.
What they really have been doing
is to beg the President, after pat
ting him on the back, to get the
State Legislatures to go slower on
them and to advocate in a mes
sage to the next Congress that all
transportation shall be declared
| interstate commerce and shall be
placed under the control of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
They have got that machine grab
bed, and they know it is an easier
matter to control it than to control
all the State legislatures. In other
words, they are assuring the Presi-
dent OF their support OF his idea OF
centralized government, thus elimi-
mating the power Of the States to
control and regulate their own
rates of transportation within their
own borders. That is the COM
bination between the railroads and
the present Republican admin
istration to emasculate the power
of the State governments that the
people of this country are up
against, and the sooner they take
cognizance of that fact the better
prepared they will be to beat it.

.AFFIDAVIh1 OF PERKINS Denies Making of the
 Entries. ANSWER TO INDICTMENTS Moves He Be Allowed to Inspect Record. Declare. He Wa. Not Connected In Any Way Nor Did He Aid or Asst
 Alleged Fraudulent Nz. writing. s.-Gil1
 

New York, Jan. 5-.I am not guilty of the offenses charged against me by the indictments. did not make the entries in the books of the New York Life Insurance Company specified in in- dictments. or any in them. nor was In any way connected in the making of such entries, nor did I. directiyf or tnr directly. counsel, command, Induce. or procure any other persons to maks such entries.
 George W. Perkins, formerly vice president of the New York Life Com pany, made this sworn statement today in answer to the charge that he had caused false entries to be made in the company's books to conceal the real na- ture of it's stock transactions. These charges form the basis of the six. in- dictments for forgery in the third de- gree handed down against Mir. Perkins and Charles l.. FairchiId Q week ago last Friday.
 MT. Perkins answer was contained in a notice served by his counsel. Lewis L.. Delafield, to Assistant Attorney Kressel that he would appear before Judge Fitzgerald in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court next Thursday and move for permission to inspect the minutes of the grand Jury which handed down the indictments. .
 In addition to declaring that he nad nothing to do with the matter or the books of the New York Life, MT. Per- kina says there was not evidence pe- fore the grand jury to show that the particular entries were fraudulent or that the stocks of the Chicago ana Northwestern and the Chicago, Miiwau- kee and St. Paul Railroad companies were not, sold blythe company as the entries indicate. He also declares that the grand jury had e mistaken belief that the crime of forgery could exist under the laws where there was no proof of intent to defraud or to conceal a larceny of nisappropriation.
 Flo lays stress on the presentment with which the grand jury accompanied their indictments and in which they fstid whilo thays Nere conskrAtned to in- slct bv tue 6astee ef EtaHNick Attorney J&rcrne. they believed thHk neither MT i. Perkins or Mr. Faifcnild wAs 4ctAatSd by any motive other than a desinn to reap a profit for the New York Life policyholders
 Mir Perkins calls attention to the fact that his constitutional rights were invaded when he appeared before the grand Jury, saying that he was not a voluntary witness, but went without subpoena, knowing he would be sub- poenaed if he did not appear Hc also says that Mir. Kresel, whom he terms "deupty assistant to Mir. Jerome, was present during his examination. If this were so 1t would invalidate the action of the grand jury but MT. KreseI was appointed a full assistant district attorney before he took up the insu. rance investigation and therefore was within the law by being present.

PROTEST IS TABLED
JAMESTOWN EXHIBITION WILL NOT
 ABANDON MILITARY,
Thinks Nothing Can Re Done to More Cement Nations Than FRaterm- ixipg of the Soldiers and
 Sailors.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 5.-The protest by eleven members of the advisory board of the Jamestown Exposition against the diversion of the exposition to the service of militarism as issued from Boston recently, was today answered on behalf of the Exposition Company by Barton Myers, Governor of Ways and Means of the Exposition Company. In the statement he says:
 "So far from this exposition being a warlIke inspiration it will be the great est peace congress that has ever as- sembled. Representatives of all the nations are expected here to unit in celebrating the birth of this nation; the assembling of their ships and crack military companies will be one of the prominent features of the fraternizing but they will also assemble exhibits of their resources and industrial products of peace with historical documents and relics.
 Probably the most prominent fea- ture os the exposition will be the con- gresses and convention of fraternal organizations of which 104 have al- ready been engaged.
 Among these are large number of religious organizations and churches.
 "One or two of these protesters have been prominent identified with move ments to universal peace. disarmament of the nations, etc. They are doubtless so imbued with the importance of the movement to which they have conse- crated their efforts that they are over sensitive. The exposition management had heretofore received letters from some few of them individually protest ing against the assembling of the ships and soldiers here.
 While 1t will be exceedingly inter esting here to see the varieties of war ships and also of yachts, motor boats and other specimens of marine archi- lecture are to have comparison of the crack military companies of our own and foreign countries 1t will all be for the purpose of extending mutual cour- tesies and cementing the bonds of friendship and peace.-
