Death of Mr.. Edwin Montgomery.
On Thursday morning Mr..
Edwin Montgomery passed away
after several weeks of suffering.
The funeral services were held
at his late residence this morn
ing (Frlday) and the in,erment
followed at the Odd Fellows
Cemetery. Mr., Montgomery
leaves wife and a number of
children and large circle of
relatives to mourn his death.
He was a man of fine character
and possessed many admirable
traits. For many years he was
editor of the old Live Stock
Journal, and was known far and
wide as an agricultural writer.
The later part Of his life was
spent in darying and farming
a cause he had devoted his life
to promoting.

Roosevelt's Popularity on the wane.

s>oooSNSt opusaih5 VII TIC w duS.
While we like to use respect.
full language towards the Presi.
dent and we will be as gentle
with him as possible, yet, it
must be admitted that he has
greatly dwindled in the estima-
tion of the people of this country
in the last year. While pros
perity was flourishing every.
where, people paid but little at
tention to the great number of
men that he has deliberately
designated as liars. In fact the
people thought or cared very
lIItle about what he said. But
this man Roosevelt has called
Ex-senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, liar, when Gambler
claimed that Roosevelt asked
him to secure Democratic aid in
the Senate to help pass the rail.
road rate bill. Chandler proved
that Roosevelt sent for him for
that mission and that proves
that Chandler is not the liar but
makes out plainly that some.
body else lied. He also used
the same kind of language to-
wards Mr.. Harl imam and denied
that he asked Mr.. Hartman TO
raise $3.50, 200, four years ago to
enable the State of New York to
be carried for him. Mr. Harri-
man has proved that Mr.. Roose-
velt made this request of him
and that he raised the sum.
Now who does this make ont to
be the liar?
But the most glaring and
vilest thing that Roosevelt ever
did and which will be a blight
on his character as long as he
lives, arose out of the controver-
sy between him and Judge Par
ker four years AGO. Judge Par
ker, on the stump, claimed that
the Roosevelt campaign COM
mlttee were holding up corpora.
tions all over the country for
large sums of money with which
to purchase the election of Mr..
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt in
his impetuous manner rushed
into print and yelled, liar, liar,
liar ana the people believed him
and elected hin. Now after one
year the facts came out in pcb-
lie that Mr. Roosevelt's cam
paign treasury received from 10
10 30 thousand dollars from prac.
tically, every large corporation
in the country, Now who APP.
pears to be the liar in this case?
So~-~o~Oo-~~->~O
By this time Mr.. Archbold has
surely gotten as much of his cor
respondence as remains out OF
Hearst hands into safe whose

GUARD HEALTH
 OF AMERICA
Splendid System by Which Death Dealing Diseases Are Preuented from Gaining a Foothold---Re- n1arkable Work Done in Ger many and Japan.

for all around them the cholera and the plague are raging, and the least let up on their part would mean that the bubonic plague, or the cholera, or both, would probably become epidemic ill Japan, and that would mean it's pos sible spread to the unaffected islands of the Pacific, Australia, the Hawaiian islands, and possibly the American mainland.
 How do Dr. Doty, Surgeon General Wyman of the United States marine hospital service, the army and navy doctors and the quarantine officers of the other great American seaports keep track of the world health? And they do keep track of it, and it is this vigilance in prying into what's the matter with our foreign neighbors that has made this country the healthiest and the best protected, from a stand point of sanitation, on the face of this earth. Now take this big globe that is covered with tacks, and look at Port Said at the entrance of the Suez canal There is a telltale tack stuck near that place, and that tack means that somebody or some people out there have the bubonic plague. and that every ship that stops at that port and then comes to America will have to stand the closest of inspections to show that nobody on board, or any thing in her cargo, conceals the germ that is responsible for the most hor- rible disease, with the exception of leprosy, the world has ever known.
