In regard to this next letter, however,
there is less doubt and more defniteness.

MY Dear Senator:
Attorney General Sheets has written
letter to MIR. Kline, in'which he asks
to have a time fixed for the oral argu-
ment of the contempt case If this ar
gument is to be simply formal mat
ter, we have no objection to it, other
wise, it might be well to have it post
poned as long as possible, especially
until after the next national and state
conventions.
We thought you should know about
this before going to Ohio.
Very truly yours,
Jno. D. Archbold
Hon. J. B. Foraker,

Nine days later Senator Foraker had an
other very Objectionable" bill to take
care Of A senator had to work to earn his
certificates of deposit. Serving the Standard
Oil was no sinecure.
March 8, 1900.
My Dear Senator:
beg to enclose you herewith letter
from our counsel, Mr.. Elliott, with
copy of another very Objectionable
bill recently introduced at Columbus
There will undoubtedly be uniform
sentiment against it in the oil section
Hope you can take care of it with the
others. Very truly yours,
Jno. D. Archbold
Hon. j. B. Foraker,
Senate Chamber,
Washington, D. G.
The very next day he received another let
ter from Archbold as follows
March 9, 1900.
My Dear Senator:
I have your favor of last night with
enclosure, which letter, with letter
from Mr. Elliott commenting on
same, l beg to send you herewith
Perhaps it would be better to make
demonstration against the whole bill
but certainly, the ninth clause, to
which Mr.. Elliott refers, should be
stricken out and the same is true of
House Bill No. 800, also introduced
by Mr.. Price, in relation to foreign
corporations, in which the same OBJ
jectionable clause occurs.
Am glad TO hear that you think
that the situation is fairly well in
hand. Very truly yours,
Jno D. Archbold.
Another bill was so Objectionable " The
people had become so meddlesome in their
own business that Mr.. Archbold advised busy
Senator Foraker to make a demonstration
and also to have certain clauses stricken out
and generally to look alive.

March IL, 1900.
My Dear Senator: a
hope everything is 60
ing well at Columbus.
There are a number Of the
vexatious bills there and
we are resting on your
statement that they are all
well in hand.
One of our people writes
that it is a little doubtful
as to how the Hon. Ralph
D, Cole, of Findlay, will
vote on the Russell bill.
He says that H. G. Grouse,
editor Findlay "Republ-
cam" and formerly chair
man Republican State Com
mittee, is very close to Cole,

of this kind, is far from being pleasant one,
but it is duty that ought to be performed
It will lead into some dark labyrinths of
American politics. 1t will involve the careers
Of many who, equally with Foraker and Sib-
ley and Bailey, have been trusted by their
neighbors and honored by their country. 1t
will, in some cases, involve the names Of men
now dead. But it will recite nothing but alb
solute facts, disclose nothing without author
itatve data, based on documentary evidence,
and reveal such truths as ought in honesty
and propriety to be revealed.
#s#
Joseph B, Foraker, Senator from Ohio, was
shown to be taking money from Archbold;
Joseph G. Sibley, representative from
Pennsylvania was shown by correspondence
to be- in the words of Mr., Hearst, "a wretch
ed little political spy, introduced into Con-
gress by the Standard Oil Company to re-
port to them on all legislation in which they
had an interest"
Joseph Bailey, Senator from Texas, regard
ed by many as the most brilliant man in the
Upper House, and hailed, in this same oll-be-
daubed correspondence, as the coming leader
OF his party, was placed on the rail OF public
ooloquy and ridden outside the bounds OF ma
tonal honor. MIR Hearst disregarded party
lines in making these disclosures.
Each of these three men was shown by
documentary proof to have been taking mon
ey secretly to represent interests opposed to
those that he was sworn publicly to uphold.
Each, in his own way, paid the bitter penalty
But what about John D. Archbold, the man
who handled the money" the man who
with such amazing ease and frequency drew
$4,000 certificates of deposit by which cleo
tons and even laws were influenced. What
penalty was placed upon him9
Chance has placed in my way some eX-
raordinary documents. 1t happens that
those documents consist almost entirely OF
the surreptitious correspondence OF John D.
Archbold-who was Methodist deacon on
one hand, and purchaser OF unscrupulous
politicians and corrupt laws on the other In
the conspiracy against popular government
that these letters reveal the personality OF
Archbold becomes too trivial and unimpor-
tant for consideration.

CITIZEN DISCUSSES
CITY'S NEEDS
Money Expended for Water Elk
tensions not Benefitting City
Under Present Conditions

Under the leadership OF the
Hon. Mayor j. s. Woodbury., the
City Council extended our city
water works. and through their
efforts we are enjoying the best
Of mountain spring water and
under the management Of this
enterprising council, permits
were secured and pipe lines ex-
ten led through the South and
West field. one line commencing
south Of the Normal grounds and
running west to VIM. Lunt's, the
other connecting on First North
street, thence west to where the
creamery now stands, giving lot
frontages on both sides of eacn
extended pipe line.
1t is now TO be hoped that one
Of our greatest dreams Of a
greater and better Cedar City
will be realized. This most val
liable enterprise has made it pos
sible to double the population Of
Cedar City IN the near future.
At the present time the bulk of
the frontage is owned by the
original owners and has not az
yet been placed on the market.
On account of the low rate Of
taxation no doubt the land can
be farmed at profit. Every
foot of that land could be sold
now in lot frontage. and in the
future the city is bound to tax
lot frontage till IL will be un-
profitable for farming purposes,
then homeseekers will be able to
buy city lot under one Of the
BEST water systems N The state.
There is a fall Of 1900 feet to
our city water. but the force Is
destroyed at present on account
OF defective pipe in the city.
These defects will no doubt be
repaired in the near future. and
then our property will be pro-
tected against fire and drouth.
At present we have a few citi-
xens with a bunch of city lots
sailed down. This is usually the
term used when groups of lots
are withdrawn from the market.
Some of our citizens are DESTROYS
of building restrictions, which
Is a very good idea If you have
other lots to dispose of. because
every modern home that goes up
improves the value of all proper
ty adjoining il. Get your pro-
perty on the market: invite the
stranger TO come and help build
up our city; encourage an in
crease in taxation. especially on
city property, and then we can
go to our tax list and readily dis
tinguish whether we have an
acre of field land or n city lot.
We have a number of citizens
who contend that our taxes are
too high; however, under exist
ing conditions and rate of taxa
ton, people are farming all
through our city. and no doubt
to a profit or they would sell and
give the home-seeker a chance.
Taxation is necessary; il always
has existed and always will ex-
list, and without il our inconven-
fences would increase until our
present tranquility and safety
would be greatly abridged and
perhaps in time lost. The re.
duction of taxes reduces the
terms of our schools, and retards
the progression of public i'm
provements. The improvement
of a state. county or city aids the
machinery of our free govern
ment, and without that life.

lost. The reduction of our tax

RUTH OLSON

RUTH OLSON
Dr.l S. Wattam entertained at his
home on Monday evening number Of
friends nos who are interested in the work
OF the local and county anti-tubercu-
losiss association. The affair was in
honor OF Miss Ruth OLSON, the visit
ing nurse, who for family reasons is

turnSsto her native land, Sweden.
which she left year ago to take up
a work . in which she is greatly inter-
esteds and for which she has fitted
herself by long training the fight
against tuberculosis. At this gath
erlng she gave an interesting account
OF the work she had done in our coun-
ty. The work she has been called
to 90 has been carried on in the city
OF Warren and the towns of Oak
Park, Vega, Comstock, Viking, New
solum, Holt, Newfolden, Marsh
Grove, West Valley, New Maine, Lin
coin, Nelson Park and East Park. She
has gone from home to home in these
towns ministering to the sick and iii.
structlng them and their families in
the prevention and curative measures
used in combating the great white
plague In many homes that har-
bored consumptives she found that no
precautions were taken against ex-
posing other members of the family
to the disease, and houses in which
deaths from the disease had occurred
were seldom if ever properly fumigat-
ed. She has traced the spread of
the disease in some towns from family
to family and has made a map that
tells gruesome story of human mis-
cry. She has also visited sixteen
schools and interested both teachers
and pupils in the work. Wherever she
mas gone into the county, she says
she has been we'll received by the peo-
pie who are beginning to realize what
dreadful thing the disease is when
spread in a community It is not an
easy work that Miss OLSON has done
in our county and were it not for her
enthusiasm in the cause and earnest
desire to accomplish something for
lthe benefit of humanity, she would
not have undertaken it. Much good
will surely come from her efforts. The
work is by no means finished and the
county anti-tuberculosis association
intends to continue this method OF
lighting the disease, if it can find as
competent nurse as Miss OLSON tc
take her place. In Sweden a visit
ing nurse must have many years O.
special training. In the first place
she must have what is equivalent tt
college education and then fou,
years special training as a nurse an(
on top of that year and half mus
be spent at various sanatoriums ant
hospitals observing and studyins

Miss OLSON will leave tomorrow
Tor her home at Karlstad, Sweden
taking with her the thanks and bless
ings of hundreds of homes which sht
has made happier and healthier b,
