CITIZENS PLATFORM.
Candidates on the Citizens Ticket
Announce the Platform Upon
Which They Stand.

We, the candidates for city coun-
cilmen on the Citizens Ticket, make
the following declaration of policies
for the government of the City of
Aberdeen, and pledge ourselves to
faithful adherence thereto
We favor the administration of the
city's affairs on recognized business
principles, and consider the city
council much as the board of direc-
tors of private corporation. and the
taxpayers as stockholders, whose in
terests should at all times be para
mount.
~. Believe in the strict enforce
ment of the laws, and in the doctrine
that ALL are equal before the law,
none immune from it's penalties and
none outside the pale of it's protec-
ton
We favor the building of perma-
nent streets as quickly as possible, in
such manner as may be agreed upon
by a majority of the property owners
interested.
We favor a readjustment of the
water rent schedule, to the end that
the minimum family rate shall not
exceed $1.O0 per month.
We favor necessary public i'm
provements; that they be made with
view to permanency, and insist that
the interests and desires of those who
pay for them be considered.
We denounce the change in ward
boundaries that threatens to deprive
South Aberdeen Of representation on
the council, and turns over one
sixth of the city government to a dis
trict containing less than one
twelfth of the population and re-
quiring almost the undivided atten-
ton of the police department to
maintain order within it's limits.
We denounce all attempts to inject
national politics into the affairs of
the city, especially at a time when
nearly all cities of the nation are
making efforts to escape from condi-
lions imposed by political bosses, that
always prove onerous to the tax
payer.

Tariff Reform In the House.

Now. this is the cheerful agreement
by which the Republicans of the house
hope to humbug the tariff reformers of
the nation Moreover, it is the shreWd
plan by which the stand pattcrs in the
same party are going to try to keep
their tariff revision brethren in line.
The plan is to authorize the commit
tee on ways and means, which is of
course the committee in charge of tar
if schedules to sit during the coming
summer, taking testimony and gather
ing data with Il view to tariff revision
after the next Inauguration. The chair
man of that committee Is Serene Payne
of New York. Its most powerful NOM
Der is Dalzell of Pennsylvania high
priest of protection. All the other Re
publican mcmbers down to Nick Long
worth of Ohio are avOwed high tariff
men and stand patters. The seven
Democrats, headed 10y Champ Clark,
could do nothing to secure even fair
hearings. OF course the scheme is sim
ply to offer an excuse for putting off
any tariff legislation until after cleo
tom That postponcment will be made
with or without any excuse. Put if
this plan shall he adopted no citizen Of
the United States who is FESTIVE under
tariff taxation need look upon it as
other than 4 cheap subterfuge.

LONDON WH|RLS IN
THE APACHE DANCE
TURNS FROM "ARTlsTIc NUDITY
OF SALoME TO THE BRUTAL
lTY OF THE TOUGH.

LONDON, Dec. 1l.-Neurotic Lon
don society since the subsistence of the
Salome craze, has entirely transfer
red its jaded allegiance from that
form OF exhibition To a patronage or
the gruesomely brutal Apache
dance The same throng OF disting-
uished folk which nightly reyelled' in
Maud Allan's Salome and its barbaric
nudity. now attend the Empire thea
ter. where Fred Farren and Beatrice
Collier, during the progress of the
ballet, "A Day In Paris" perform the
Apache dance. The empire audiences
are now chronicled in the society col
umns OF the leading papers.
While society could offer the justi
fcation In taking up the Salome that
its nudity was secondary to It's classic
and artistic beauty, there is no such
palliation for the Apache dance, which
is brutality glorifed. The dance it
self, which pretends TO be character
istic OF the toughs who have terror
lied Paris by their outrages, murders
and robberles, is really made up Of
movements from the Negro two-step.
with a crude suggestiveness of the
tough" dance from the Belle of New
YORK and the Merry Widow waltz
The entire motif is brutality, yet its
success has been instantaneous, and
is apparently lasting.
Apparently this is due in largo
measure to the wonderful character
ization OF the female Apache OF Miss
Collier, an English girl of 10, who has
sprung in single night to fame. She
is doglike in obedience, commits rob-
berries, murder anything for the man.

danes, whose names figure largely in
print, are taking lessons of Miss Col
lier in the Apache dance. and there
seems little doubt that it will rival

which dominated society from the roy
al family downward.

PUTS UP $4,000 TO HELP
GET A CARNEGIE PRIZE

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 11.-Wm. B.
Cunningham, SO years old, was swim
died out of $4,000 here oy confidence
men. Cunningham is a retired farm
er. The loss came through a newly
found friend" who scraped his ac-
quaintance in front OF the Cunning
ham home.
The friend" took Cunningham to
room at No. 149 West Vermont-st.
anu convinced him then and there that
he, the friend, had drawn n $4,000
prize from Andrew Carnegie. The
friends" confederate conducted the
drawing" but before surrendering
the $4,000 said Mr.. Carnegie required
all persons who received his money
TO put up a like amount
Cunningham was appealed 10 by the
friend" to furnish the $4,000. He
was TO share in the prize. He obtain
ed the money at the Indiana National
bank, and the prize" with its equiva-
lent was placed in tin cash box.
The friend" having business to
transact, then gave Cunningham the
box, saying he would stop at the Gun
ingham home on his way to lunch at
noon. and they would divide. Cunning
ham to take back his own $4,000 in ad-
dition. When lunch time passed and
the friend" was missing, Cunningham
opened the box and learned of his
loss.
In the box was a note telling Cum
ningham he was IAN old fool" and
suggesting that he keep quiet.

Light on Secret OF
Sex Determination.

BOSTON. Dec. 1l.-Fighting to VIM
dictate his recent assertions that ne
has discovered a mathematical and
precise rule governing reproduction
and sex determination OF the hlgher
animals. Prof. VIM. T. Castle, OF Har-
ward university. through his recent ex-
periments in breeding two absolutely
unheard OF varieties Of guinea pigs,
has aroused the attention and inter
est of naturalists and scientists
throughout the entire world
The breeding of two new animals Is
regarded as especially wonderful from
the fact that the two hybrid guinea
pIgg.are OF exactly the same character
as Prof. Castle predicted they would
be last year when his theory was
openly nouted by the National Breed
ers' association.
His demonstrations that fixed rules
can be applied to the reproduction OF
animals OF a certain character and
that with a given pair OF animals the
color, length OF hair and sex can be
automatically and precisely deter
mined, has thrown totally new and
undreamed OF light upon the possibii-
tiles OF animal breeding In the future.
Prof. Castles experiments, while as
yet they have been performed only
with guinea pigs and rodents as SUB
jects, are looked up as the turthcst
step yet taken in definitely solving
the problem Of sex.
II is believed that by means OF the
succeeding steps which are now said
to be easily possible through his dis
covery, the time is close at hand when
the character appearance and sex OF
all forms Of higher animal life may. be
easily determined i'm advance.

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall
Top-Dresslns and Seeding-Down

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that in many
cases better results are obtained on meadows
from fertilizers which are applied in the
summer or early fall. This is true both as to
top-dressing and seeding-down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that we can
furnish formulas for mixing fertilizers es-
pecially adapted to top-dresslng and seeding
down grass land. These formulas have moi
only been approved by the Vermont Expert
ment Station, but have been used with
excellent results by a great many farmers in
Vermont. We can also furnish the materials
for mixing fertilizers in accordance with these
formulas. We should be pleased to send the
formulas together with full directions for
mixing, cost of materials, ETC., to any one
who will write US, mentioning this paper
