Dear Sir: After reading the last

but a good crowd had left without
casting their ballots. I was sorry
that they did not know the State
electors, and had I known this I
would have prepared every one. I,
for one, am ready to start organizing
clubs and better start now, then we
will be ready to face the battle in the
next four years.
We would be glad if you could
visit this part Of Florida. I believe
if you could make several speeches in
this State that it would give larger
support.

WILL BE AT THE NEXT RESUR-
RECTION OF WATSON.
Stinson, Ga, Nov. II, 1908.

OClnSOn, ia, NOV. IL, I9US.
Hon. Thos E. Watson.
My Dear Friend: have been think
inging for several days that I would
write, or at least scribble, few lines
to let you know that I was one Of the
pallbearers that Dick & Hoke spoke
so emphatically about, and if God
spares me expect to be at your next
resurrection-they have buried you
before, but somehow you can't stay
buried by such set. They seem to be
just as low as they have ever been in
their mean and dirty tricks. There
having been no State ticket for all
the different offices, and no organized
clubs, gave them a fine old time. I
vote at White Sulphur Springs. The
day Of election was quite a bad day
for an old man to be out, but I was
ont and put in "a votes for you, while
the other ticket got 26. This little
count was about one-sixth Of the votes
cast for you in the county, Meri-
riwether being Hoke's pet county, or
one Of them. IF I could have been
at the precinct of the second district I
could have more than doubled the
vote there; had lived two years in
the second at Bullochville, being the
voting place. I gave them tickets and
they would have put them in with a
leader. They were men living along
side the mountains. Many Of then
did not go out at all. The people
must find out that Harvie Jordan does
not count anything at all in getting
price for their cotton. Some Of them
got redhot with you for criticizing
Harvie going to the spinner for
better price, so dull and stupid are
some men.
One word just now about Harvie,
and this is own get up, think he
has cost the farmers more, lost money
on his trick Of having the boys now.
Next time we will pull them up to
our price, sure. A big convention,
and take up big collection to defray
expenses, and set the fools all to
planting every row in cotton. This
time he has the nice fix. He almost
shook some of the banks in large ad-
vances. They are hard pressed to
come up. The country is in much
worse fix than it has been in several
years, as to my notion.
My dear friend, I wish I could
grasp your hand once more in this
life and I hope to live to see you

DIED in FEAR
OF OPERATION
SISTER OF NURSE WHO LEAP
ED INTO RIVER ADVANCES
NEW THEORY OF MOTIVE
FOR HER ACTION.

| Did Miss Helen Wood, who was
a nurse at Sacred Heart hospital,
adopt suicide In fear of an opera
ton for appendicitis? This seems
the most plausible theory in ac-
| counting for her self destruction.
The sufferings of patients who
| were operated on for APPENDICITIS
and on whom she waited may have
proved on her mind until she fear
ed the operation herself and pre-
ferred death by drowning rather
than to go through the sufferings
she had witnessed in her patients?
Information that she was sub
ject to appendicitis was given out
today by her sister, Mrs. Carolyn
Eubanks of Walla Walla, who is
now here.
81 believe that this sickness and
resultant dependency was the
cause of my sisters suicide" de-
clared Mrs. Eubanks.
Mrs. J. H. Fields, the mother, is
too overcome to talk and is con-
fined to her room.
Miss Wood had always told she
WAS an orphan, which was con-
sidered odd as it develops she had
a mother living.
With regard to this Mrs. Eubanks
stated this morning that her sister
had told her frequently that she
pretended to be an orphan so that

FRANCHISE
FOR FOUR
CAR LINES

An amended ordinance was filed
today with the city clerk by
Graves, Kizer & Graves, asking for
blanket franchise permitting the
Spokane & Inland Empire Railway
Co. to extend four of it's city lines
into the east and southeast Sec
tons of the city. The franchise is
asked under the usual restrictions
governing such matters, to-wit:
Five cent fares, with general trans
fer to all lines of the company;
a franchise tax of two mills per
car mile; the requirement that the
company improve and maintain the
street between its tracks and for
two feet on either side. and the
usual limitation of the life of the
franchise to % years.
1t is sought to extend the new
Playground line to Opportunity, in
the Spokane valley east of the
city. This line will run east of
Sprague avenue from its present
end at Freya street to the east
city limits, thence south to First
avenue, thence east on First for
about one talf mile to a private
right of way, then east to its ter
minus at Opportunity. The line
will be between three and four
miles long from Wall and River
side to the city limits and will be
one of the longest rides for a
nickel on the Traction company's
system. Its total ,ength will be
about eight miles.
The Union Park line is sought
to be extended east on Fifth, from
its present terminus at Regal
street, to Freya street, and south
on Freya to Eleventh avenue,
where it will end.
The short Cooks hill line, which
leaves the Altamont line at Hatch
street, will be extended south on
Hatch street to its junction with
the Southeast boulevard, thence

the Sioux City man.
The department, by some process
OF reasoning which Mr.. Staater has
not yet figured out, decided against
him, and he finds that he has been
touched for the $25, beyond all hope
of recovery His understanding is
that the department. reasoned thus:
Hens lay eggs; roosters don's.
BOOSTERS are only useful to eat and
crow. The admission OF eggs, free ol

q discrimination In favor OF the hen
as against the rooster, because
