FROM A LINCOLN REPUBLICAN.

Dear Mr.. Watson: while | am
lifelong, full-fedged Abraham Lin
coin Republican, man without party
or prestige in the South-especially
in Georgia, where Federal pap-suck-
ers and negroes defame Lincoln's
good name-yet l cannot allow the
year of 1910 to pass without telling
you that | indorse your course
against the rapid incoming oligarchy
whose sole aim is to undermine the
very principles of our representative
government and thereby repudiate
the equal and just laws of popular
procedure given us by beneicient
God through the noble and patriotic
agency of George Washington, Pat
rick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and
other founders of our republic. May
God continue to give you health and
courage to press the cause of the
common people till their eyes are
opened and their conscience so arous-
ed that they will rise up-lost to
party perfidy-in solid phalanx and
with the strong arm of a sacred bal
lot scourge and purge from power
every vestige Of misrule in our town.
county, state and national govern
ment.
If l had 100000 I would put
peppers enough in Calico Charles
breeches to send him to Cuba or
Cannon for the remainder of his Wis
ionary Vaccinations. More anon.

AN APPRECIATED LETTER.

My Dear Sir:-Pardon me, please,
for consuming a part of your valu-
able time. [ am induced to do so by
reason of appreciation of your week
ly, of which | am close reader
There is no man in the universe to-
day that is fighting the battles of
equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none as you are doing. 1t
is true that you have your enemies
who would greatly rejoice if your
head was severed from your body.
They cannot endure easily the tor
ture that you give them by stamping
upon the peoples minds absolute
proof of their guilt. My advice to
you, Mr.. Watson, is keep on Smelling
the woods until you succeed in run
ming to cover every base traitor to
his country and have their kind put
to death upon the scaffOld of public
opinion.
Your cutting attacks upon Theo-
dOre ROosevelt's inconsistency in re-
gard to the tariff shuts out all doubts
as to his being topper in a class by
himself, and as you aptly quote Old
Man Peepul is watching his acts very
closely and will not be found ig-
nOrant of the game when he shows
what kind of hand he is playing.
The work that you are doing here
in old Georgia is what | appreciate
so about you at the present time
Georgia is being given a much needed
shake-up by you and your followers
The lesson that Georgians are learn
ing from your lips and mighty pen
are surprising indeed, but true. and
they are beginning to clothe their
minds with new ideas about some of
our laws and public men that hold
Offices. Examples of their CONVEX
sions are being heard of daily and by
the time another chance comes to
fight them with the ballot we will
cast such men as Tom Hardwick, Ed
wards, Bell, and the rest of that
stripe into the political cemetery. 1t
is our duty, our privilege. The best
interest of Georgia demands it, Their
records are the witnesses against
them. We can never hope to ac-
complish anything for the advance
ment of our interest with such men
representing us and they must go,
and new men of honesty, integrity
and genuine worth be placed in their
places. What they could &C
COmplish compared with the Bell and
Edwards class would be surprising,
indeed. Now. in conclusion, Mr..
Watson, excuse me for consuming
this much of your time-accept my
thanks for the noble work you are
doing for the enlightenment of peo-
pie that have not the means of ac-
curing information as you have. Let
us have it good and strong and we
will tell the news wherever we go.
| am, with best wishes,

Won MULLER As
ARCH-B|GAM|sI,| IS
HELD BY COURT

Emil Karl Won Muller. alias Won der
Hagen, the alleged bigamist, who is
said to have married a woman in
Mpntclair and one In Newark, arrived
in Jersey City last night from Los
Angeles, Cal, under arrest on a blgamy
complaint made by Miss Regina Yer
holman, of 1851 Third avenue, Manhat-
tan, who was married to o Muller
by the Rev. James Rudolph on October
10, 1909, in Hoboken. Miss Verhelman
heard that Won Muller had a wife and
child In Baltimore, When she asked
him about it Won Muller disappeared
with $3.50 of her money.
Chief of Police Hayes, of Hoboken,
said last night that Won Muller had
probably married Kelta Tritzell. of
Brookline, Mass. a year ago, and Marie
H. p. Taylor, OF Philadelphia, in 100.
Fannie Wagner, of Rockford, Ia, says
that Won Muller married her in 1903.
Another claimant is Mrs. Richard
Smith, of Dubuque, Ia.
Won Muller married in Los Angeles on
October IL last Pauline Wood Powers,
the stepdaughter of William Fisher,
q retired Chicago grocer, who gave the
pair a $4,000 house as a wedding pres
ent. Miss Powers has already started
suit to have her marriage annulled.
When the Pennsylvania train arrived
in Jersey City. besides Miss iVermel-
ham, q, Miss Albrecht was also pres
emf. She recognized von Muller as
a man who wanted her to marry him,
but ran off with her money before their
relations got so far as marriage. The
prisoner admitted marrying Miss Yer

was not legal, as both of them were

until they were disturbed by one of the
sons. who was awakened by the smell
of gas.
The burglars got away with about
$500 in cash, but left behind silverware
and valuable bric-a-brac, which they
had carefully sifted from come plated
| ware and had packed up. Incidentally
one of the intruders indulged in sew
eral acts of vandalism by slashing with
a knife several silk portieres from
other tapestries. Today all the mem
| bers of the household are i'll from the
effects Of gas which escaped from a
jet in the kitchen left open when the
burglars left in d hurry.
The Kaphan home is on the corner
Of Stuyvesant avenue. and is two
and-a-half stories high. That at least
two burglars were at work is plain
from the fact that entrance was gained
by forcing a window twelve feet above
the sidewalk on the S~tuyvesant avenue
side of the building.
Samuel A. Kaphan, ono of the sons,
was awakened about 4 o'clock this
morning by the smell of gas, and he
thinks he heard a door close softly
downstairs. When he reached the
kitchen on the ground floor he stumbled
over a bundle. He then lighted the gas.
which was escaping, and found that the
bundle contained b~ric-albrac and silver
ware. Running upstairs. he awakened
his brother Louis, and their investiga-
ton showed that Samuel had been
robbed OF 1920 and Louis $50, which had
been taken from their pockets. A guam
tity of money was also taken from a
dress Of their mother, which hung in q
clothes closet. The pantry showed that
the burglars had worked leisurely and
taken time to indulge In the eatables
stored there. Every part of the house
had been ~ransacked and the burglars
are believed to have been professionals,
from the fact that they did not disturb
plated ware. but picked out the
choicest silver. 1t was this tina had
been bundled up. but was left behind
when the thieves made their hurried
departure.
What the family feels most is the
vandalism displayed by the burglars
when they slit suit cases, curtains, tap
estries and other valuable articles
which they found too cumbersome 70

Calamity Figures.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Accidents which

year, according to @ statement by DR..
William II. Tolman, director Of the
Museum of Safety I'M Sanitation Of
New York, IN an address here last
night. He said:
This loss represents only half of the
accidents in the various industries DUR
ing a year. About half a million
workers are o annually incapaci-
tated or killed. and the figures are
based on the low average of $500 apiece.
"A widespread campaign has been
inaugurated to induce factories and
mines all over the country to adopt
safety appliances. The adoption of
these appliances would prevent enough
accidents to pay for the cost within a
few months"
