Injunction Refused.

Thos. j. Smith, attorney for the
county court in the River Drainage
matters, was notified last week that
Judge John F. Philips of the Federal
court at Kansas City, had dismissed
the petition of Wills & Sons, asking
for an injunction against the county
court restraining it from entering into
a contract and paying out money to
complete the unfinished work on the
drainage ditch, left by Wills & Sons
and now before the Federal court for
adjudication. We understand the
best bidder for this unfinished work
is now ready to enter into bond and
proceed with the work.

UP SALT RIVER.

Amid the screams of the American
Eagle, liberated for the occasion, and
the cheers of the Common People,
seated for the first time in years in
the reserved seats, the good ship
1.-THE Protective Tariff" made her
maiden trip up Salt River Tuesday,
February the 5th, 1910, The first of
a series of voyages which this craft is
expected to make up this historic
stream was successfully made to the
tune OF Democratic majority in the
sixth district of 3, 79l, with uncle Joe
Cannon on the bridge and Senator
Aldrich at the helm. Phil. S. Griffith
made very efficient pilot. The post
masters of the district made the trip
at the earnest solicitation of Postmast-
er General Hitchcock. All Republi-
can editors in the district were car
ried as first class passengers with the
exception of Mr.. Funk of the Repub-
lican Press who at the last moment
had bunch that there was to be a
landslide, and was too busy figuring
out its direction. Great things were
expected of DR.. Bowden, of Appleton
City but shortly before the trip he
must have been pushed into the
stream. Henceforth Doc. will not
regard seven as an especially lucky
number. Credit must of course be
give the tariff for so beautiful a day
as was Tuesday for the trip and all
things were lovely as the good ship,
gently waited along by the spirit of
militant Democracy, toward her des-
tination, the head waters of Salt
River. The journey will of course
be made in relays, and it is confident
ly expected that the start on the next
leg of the journey will be made in
1910. The good wishes of the ''Ulti-
mate Consumer" 60 with the "Tar-
iff' on her voyage up Salt River and
all join in the wish that '1Uncle Joe"

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is Due

Since the smoke of battle has clear
ed away and the results which cleo
trified the nation have been explain
ed from every viwe point, Demo-
Gratis can check up and take stock.
Unquestionably the issues of high
protection tariff, anti-Cannonism and
Aldrichism, were the leading causes,
but without thorough organization
that reached all the voters and mar
shaled them against the sophistries
and falsehoods Of republicanism as
exemplified in the issues, the results
could not have been obtained. Never
before in the history Of the Sixth dis
trict was the Democratic campaign
manager in touch with the Democratic
voters as was Peyton A. Parks this
time, and never were they organized
into SO compact fighting machine.
10 his splendid executive abilities
and indefatigable industry is due the
victory.
However a captain cannot win a
victory without able and efficient Of
ficers and Mr.. Parks was very fortu-
nate In having the assistance Of active
and competent committeeman to look
after the organization in the different
counties. Never in its history was
the party in Bates county organized
80 well as under the management Of
j. E. Williams county chairman, as
sisted BY his twenty-four committee
men, with their deputies and assist

THE sH02E INQUEST.
MISS kELLA7, THE, NURSE, TELLS
OF LAST HOURS OF THE
MILLIONAIRE.
HER TESTIMONY WAS DRAMATIC
Witness Told of DR.. Hyde Ordering In
jections Of StrychnIne After Col
Swope Was Seized With CONFUSION,
Asked Nurses Influence.

Independence, Mo-, Feb. S.-Tense
was the beginning of the second day
of the Swope inquest in the courthouse
here. Dramatic was the testimony
and at times, 1t almost reached the
point of accusation. And for the first
time, the story of the death of Col
Swope and the attendant happenings
was told from the witness stand.
Miss Pearl Kellar, the nurse of Col
Swope was the sole witness of the
morning. But her story was one tina,
caused absorbing interest throughout
every minute of the hearing. Every
spectator, every juror, every attorney
ana every stenographer waited for hei
words, words that told a story o,
mystery.
And in that story of Miss Kellars
the nurse told of the death of Col
Swope, how the attack came, and Row
it ended, how capsule preceded u
commissions that brought death, and q
Doctor Hyde's actions. She alst
brought out the fact that Col Swop6
kept his will in a pocket of a vest
which he never allowed out of the
room and that there was an under
standing with the administrator of tire
estate that should death come sud
denly to him. the will would be founc
in hat place.
She compared the death of Col
Swope and that of Col Moss Hunter
as to symptoms and actions. Shs
old of proposition that had beer
made her by DR.. B. c. Hyde shortly
after the death of Moss Hunton, where
by she was to go 10 Col. Swope and
suggest to him that DR.. Hyde be made
administrator of the estate in Col
Hunton's place. She told of search
for the box from which the capsule
given Col. Swope was taken. She told
OF suggestion that came from Doctor
Hyde to charge $35 week instead OF
$25. week for her services; she told
of giving three hypodermic injections
OF strychnine for the treatment Of
Col. Swope's case, diagnosed as apo
plexy, and then she was asked by DIR.
B. F. zwart. county coroner:
do you know anything that might
have caused Colonel Swope's death
other than that capsule?"
The jury leaned forward to catch
the answer. And so did Miss KellaI
lean forward as she said dramatically:
Il do not"
"And was the death Of Colonel Hun.
ton. who died of apoplexy, anything
like that Of Colonel Swope?" Doctor
Zwart asked again.

SAYS TWO COMETS
MEANS DISASTER
Woman Seer Predicts Plenty o!
Trouble For Mankind During
This Year.

London, Feb. Neurological cir
cles are perturbed from their centers
to their circu-nferences by the ad-
vent of the new comet, for they con-
slider something really awful will hap
pen, though they do not quite know
what-yet.
This year is the year of the two
comets. One of them is Halley's,
which the seers say always heralds
unpleasant human crises, and the
other is an unknown, and is therefore,
according to them, still more mysteri-
ing and horrific.
To seek the latest astrological
views on this cometary coincidence, a
reporter went to one of the women
astrologers, who at the moment is in
structing the public in the occult,
with special reference to the reading
of the stars.
She had scant solace to offer 10
European mankind Indeed, after
considering ponderous tones, contain
ing the occult lore of past sages, the
star-reading seer could only speak
gloomy words, as here follow:
There are good grounds for mans
terror of comets" she said, impress
lively. because it has been proved
that they announce the sacking of
cities, the subversion of kingdoms,
great slaughter to the world and in
Vulnerable other public calamities
that shake humanity to the core.
will one comet neutralize the in
fluence of the other? Listen. Hal
ley's comet has always heralded dis
aster, and this new one, being in
Aquarius-an immovable sign-pre-
diets the invasion of one country by
another
Mighty winds, seditions and pesti-
lence are, in my opinion, presaged by
the coming of two such comets in one
year. But | must study much and
earnestly before I can attempt any
details"
