When Congressman Hobson intro
duces his bill in this Congress, for ma
tional constitutional prohibition, look
to see lack of interest on the part of
law makers, and covert sneers from
the organs which voice the sentiments
of the rum trust.
How are your congressman likely to
vote on Congressman Hobson's bill?
How would you expect Names SEN
\ ators and representatives to vote?
Would you expect Senator Johnson or
Senator Gardner to vote to make any
trouble for the liquor interests? Do
you suppose that either of Names
senators would vote to have the Unit
ed States cease promoting the liquor
traffic?
Do you expect Congressman McGill-
ieuddy to vote against the commercial
interests which are financing his par
ty in the State? And Congressman
Gould of Skowhegan, do you think he
will have the backbone to buck the
Kennebec Political Rum Ring?

resentatives from the oldest prohibit

vote for national constitutional prohi-
bition. These men are Congressman

Failed to Pay Road Tax.

After a special meeting of the council Tuesday night, Deputy Marshal Folsom swooped down upon many of Brinkley's lead ing citizens with a warrant of arrest, charging them with neg lecting to pay road tax after having been warned.
 He left rather varied trail behind him, astonishment, dis may, protestations, pleadings mingled with howls of delight from people who had escaped and Deputy Folsom said he could easily have been traced by the sulphurous smell arising from the remarks of some. No body escaped, who had not paid, As the lowest fine in this case is according to law $10, it looks as if the interest, on the $2 in this case had reached almost usury proportions. Brinkley Argus.

Injured Woman Recoyers.

Special. to the Independent
 Swifton, Sept. 4.-Mrs. Felix Brown of Lexa, Arkansas, who was pushed from the Rock ls- land train near Cotton Plant al the time of the Lynch-Kennedy duel and suffered internal injur- ies as well as a fractured ankle, continues to improve.
 She is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. c. A. Causey here and was en route to SWifton on a visit when the accident occurred.
 At the time of the injury, it was generally supposed that the railroad company was not. liable for damages in her case, but it is now known that the rear door of the coach was left open by the train crew and there was no vestibuled enclosure at the rear. Mrs. Brown is said to have just reached the doorway when other passengers in trying to make a hurried exit, showed her off the rear end of the train, where not even chain protected her from falling.
