THURSDAY. FEBRUARY "a. 1910.
A STAGGERING CRISIS.

In the staggering crisis that has sud
denly come upon the republican party
Of New York state because of the legis-
lative bribery inquiry at Albany, it is
inevitable that the party leaders should
again be turning to Gov. Hughes with
the appeal that he sacrifice once more
his personal interests and accept anoth-
er nomination. When party is in
danger of losing it's moral character, a
leader whose moral character has no
blemish becomes a priceless asset.
Hughes must run again." is saying
in all the highways and byways; che
alone can save the party from the
wrath of the people. springfield Re-
publican.
The sins of many corrupt leaders of
the Republican party in New York have
found them out; and if is not at all
likely that even the good name of Gov.
Hughes can save them from an over
whelming defeat at the polls next
November. With strong tide of
public sentiment prevailing all over the
country against the Taft Aldrich ad
ministration, the exposure of their cor
ruption in state affairs will condemn
the New York reactionaries before the
people.

Judge William Spensley.

The death of Judge William Spensley
was briefly noted in the Democrat of
last week. He died at his home in
Galena on Saturday morning, Feb. 10.
He was one of the most highly esteemed
citizens of that city. The Gazette says:
During the past year, Mr.. Spensley
had seemed to be enjoying unusually
good health and had worked indefatiga-
bly, for several months looking up the
legal titles to and securing additional
land for the Burlington right of way,
he being the attorney for that road in
10 Daviess county. Not many weeks
since, he received bad fall which it is
believed, was of more serious conse
quence than it was at first considered.
Some days ago, he was taken i'll and
died Saturday morning.
Besides his immediate family which
consists of his four children and his
aged mother in law, Mrs. Harriet Low,
he leaves two brothers, James of Min
eral Point and r. M, of this city, and
two sisters, Mrs. Alice Bailey of Den
yer and Mrs. j. j. Gray of Galena.
Mrs. Spensley's death occurred on July
II, 1907.
The funeral of Judge Spensley was
held on Monday afternoon from the
residence on High street. Rev. E. K.
d. Hester of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church officiated, assisted by Rev.
R. M. Crissman of the First Presbyter-
ian church. Mrs James S. Baume and
Mrs. Leslie Gundry sang three appro-
pirate selections. The services at
Greenwood were in charge of the mem
bers of Galena Commandery No. 40
knights Templar. The palbearers
were Judge Richard S. Farrand, Judge
James S. Baume, DR.. NJ. Fl. Cleary, J.
G. Scott, Mayor George S. Avery and
j. B. CHM.
The services were largely attended by
members of the bar, county officials and
friends. A delegation of Modern
Woodman attended in body.
Judge William Spensley was born in
Dubuque, Iowa, and while still a little
child, with his parents, settled in Vine
gar Hill, where he grew to manhood.
His youth was spent in connection with
the physical activities incident to the
mining and smelling of lead. which
abounded here in those early days. His
parents were immigrants from the min
ing region of England, attracted by the
mineral promises of this section, and
here pursued the industries of their ma
tive land. His youth familiarized him
with mining and its kindred in
dHstries, and they retained, for him an
attraction and facination during life,
which made him familiar with the min
eral history and possibilities of this
section to an extent equaled by few.

Eliminafes Delinauents.

Harwood M. Bacon, superintendent
of division of classification of the post
Office department, gives out the following
information on the postal ruling with
reference to expired subscriptions to
newspapers:
There seems to be lingering doubt
in the minds of some publishers that
the rules promulgated by the depart
ment will not be enforced, but Mr.
Bacons talk was to the effect that while
the department did not desire to infiict
any undue hardship on newspapers. at
the same time publishers must comply
with the departments regulation.
Seventeen publishers have been served
with citations to appear in Washington,
and the privilege of second class pound
rates has been withdrawn so far from
two papers. The ruling provides that
subscription to weekly papers, 10
months in arrears, will be denied the
pound rates, and is for the purpose of
cutting off those publishers who pad
their subscription lists for the sake of
obtaining so called subscribers at either
a nominal rate, or no price at all.
In plain words, the ruling means that
subscribers to weekly papers must pay
the subscription price before or at the
end of the year covering the subscrip-
ton period.
A special agent has been Investigating
in Iowa, and in all probability papers
in Wisconsin will be next investigated.
For year Or more the publishers of
The Democrat have been preparing to
meet requirements of the postal depart
ment. To this end, and for the collec-
ton of accounts, we recently sent out
statements. All who have not already
responded are requested to do SO at
their very earliest convenience. We
must put our subscription list in order
for inspection by representative of
the postal department.

When a fast mail steamer from Yoko-
hama, Shanghai or Canton, the great

Of any of the passengers who throng
the decks, nor does it tarry for the
sacks Of letters from the far east. Its
coaches do not shine with the reful-
gence of varnish and plate glass. Their
paint is dull. and they are windowless,
like express cars. The side doors to-
ward the ship are open. This special
is the emperor of trains. 1t is reserved
for the costliest of all freight-raw
silk. When it starts eastward its lad
ing will be worth a fortune-a million
and half, perhaps two millions. of
dollars.
A giant locomotive, built for speed,
with driving wheels greater in diam
eter than the height of a tall man,
backs down and is coupled on to the
cars, now sealed and locked and ready.
With changing bell and kissing steam
the train glides out and. with a burst
of speed that seems almost exultant,
takes the main line rails for the long
journey. The silk must be landed in
New York in five days. Even the
United States mails will not travel
faster across the continent. Day and
night the silk train rushes eastward
over mountains and plains. across des-
erts and through great cities. 1t never
stops except to change engines. Then
it halts only for moment. Another
giant locomotive, oiled and groomed
and fit, is always waiting to take up
the race.
The silk train is run as a special. If
a limited loses time and gets in the
way the limited has to fret on a sid
ing while the silk train roars by in
whirlwind of dust. The silk special
runs on no schedule except that of the
greatest speed consistent with safety.
The chief dispatcher of each division
listens watchfully to the news of it's
progress coming in over the wires
from one signal tower and station after
another. While the silk train is yet a
thousand miles away it is being pre-
pared for. The capabilities of engi-
neers and engines are thoughtfully dis
cussed by division dispatchers and
trainmasters, and the men and ma
chimes with the highest capacity for
speed are picked. Tracks are cleared
and a thousand details arranged so
that there shall be no delay in hurl-
ing this huge projectile across the con-
tinent.-Harper's Weekly.

consin Soils.
Phosphorus is an absolutely essen
tial constituents of the soil and the
food of men and animals alike, and we
continue to deplete the amount of it in
our farm land by poor tillage, continuous
cropping, and other means, it is certain
that it will be poor and hungry people
living in the United States a hundred
years hence" said President Charles R.
Van Hise of the University of Wiscon-
sin, addressing the Fond du Lac Bust
ness Mems Club.
In Wisconsin there are approximate
ly 5000 pounds of potassium in the first
eight inches of soil of an acre; and
fields cropped fifty years have lost one
third of the amount. If we assume that
half as much has been lost elsewhere in
the United States as in Wisconsin, we
can estimate that it will take the present
output of our phosphorus mines for
100 years to restore the loss. We do not

last for that length of time. The high

An Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption. Many Unnecessary
Deaths from This Disease.
If people could only understand that
systematic catarrh is an internal disease
that external applications cannot cure.
they would not need to be warned so
often about this malady, which, when
neglected, paves the way oftentimes for
consumption, at the cost of millions of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may be
cured, if the right treatment is EN-,
ployed
Catarrh is caused by a general dis
eased state of the system which leads
COMMONLY to ammo ying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which NAV
prove a fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External RENE
dies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing medicine
which is absorbed and carried bv the
the blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or internal
lining of the body is toned up and made
capable of resisting the infection of
consumption and other diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from the
prescription of physician who for
thirty years studied and made catarrh a
speciality, and whose record was
patient restored to health in every case
where his treatment was followed rs
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucutone. We are so positive that it
will completely overcome catarrh in all
it's various forms, whether acute or
chronic, that we promise to return every
penny paid us for the medicine in every
case where it fails or for any reason
does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mncu-
Tone on our recommendation and guar
antee. We are right here where you
live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu- Tone ON our guarantee. We have
Rexall Mucu Tone in two sizes. soc
and $1.OO. Very often the taking of one
5O-cent bottle is sufficient to make a
marked impression upon the case, Of
course in chronic cases longer treat
ment is necessary. The average in
such instances is three $40 bottles.

PEOPLE ARE TO BLAME.
Failure to Protest Over Tariff
Made High Prices.

New York World: Increased cost of
living is penalty paid by the American
people for their own stupidity and in
difference. They have really nobody to
blame but themselves.
Had the present revolt started nine
months ago there would have been
sweeping reductions in the tariff on
food -stuffs and other necessaries of life.
Congress would have responded to an
insistent public demand. But there
was no revolt at the time when such an
uprising would have been almost i'm
mediately effective.
