Dear Editor:
 Allow me space in your paper to express my heart felt thanks to the citizens of Prescott and Nevada county for the high honor conferr- ed upon me, for l know it is one of the highest honors that was ever given to an old ex-Confederate soldier.
 To those who lost in this fight 1 want to say that the victory would be sweeter to me had not my success been builded upon their defeat, yet 1 realize that in winning a contest of this kind l had pitted against me several of Gods most noble men; men who showed their manhood when manhood stood for principle and not the lusts of office. l want to say to each of the veterans that 1 love them all, and let Us not hold any malice or ill feeling in our hearts over the re- suit.
 Tongues fail me in express ing my gratitude to the good people, and now may their pathway through life be strewn with flowers of pleas ure and at the last roll call may they, one and all, re- ceive a crown of glory is the prayer of this old eX-Con- federate soldier. Thank you one and all.

In his maiden eech in the Senate, Senator !aylor said: ''Our financial syst m is the Sia- mese twin of the tariff system, and while the financial system is the weak brother of the pair, yet they are bound together by the cartilage of federal protection. This'is an axiom of millions of ordinary mortals and 5000 banks. The party in power sees only the six thousand. This is nation of many millions of consumers and few thousand corporations. This is a nation of many millions who work for their daily bread and few milIionaires, but the party in power only sees the millionaires. The corporations and millionaires furnish the sin ews of war for the campaign and the party in power furnishes the laws to pile up the fortunes of those who furnish the ''sinews. " In the misdt of this great panic saw the distinguished senator from Rhode Island, MT. Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance of the senate, stand up- on the troubled waters with an emergency bill in his hand. and with a loud voice he cried to the bowling storm: Peace be still. " But there was no peace. And the tempest-tossed crew in the golden boat walled their eyes toward Almighty Rockefeller and prayed; and they beckoned to Morgan, the ling corporation power, to throw them a life line. But the two omnipotent tinan- ciers conld not leave the game on Wall Street to go into the life saving service. Have not the policies of the party in pow CT dragged the country to awful depths when the president finds 1t necessary to warn both houses that the republic is in danger of being overthrown by the ma ehinations of concen,ratedwealth, ] which is the legitimate result of . republican policies? Isitnot time for the country to wake when we are admonished by a republi- . can president to put the bit in the mouth of a centralized cor poration power to prevent it from tramplirg under it's hoofs all that i is left of liberty and fir Q govern mentY'

about half-mile west of Columbia City
at a railroad crossing by freight
train and the chauffeur drove onto the
second track, waiting for the freight to
pass. He failed to see the Manhattan
Limited passenger train which came at
a high rate of speed. The automobile
was destroyed and the bodies of its six
for a distance of a hundred feet and
terribly mangled. Skulls were frac-
tured, arms and legs broken, chests
crushed and clothing stripped off. So
great was the force Of the collision that
the huge locomotive of the passenger
train was derailed.
The party was in Mr.. Kings automo-
bile and was going from Fort Wayne to
Lake Wewasee to spend Sunday 1t is
said that when the party started on the
trip Mr.. King ordered the chauffeur to
make the run in two hours and a half.
which is about half an hour less than
the usual time.
