A STRANGE ACCIDENT
Fall From a Horse Results in
Paralysis
While Mr. L. J. Davis, of Manistee,
Mich., was riding his horse near thi
railroad, th, animal was frightened at
a passing train and became unman
ageable. The horse plunged and, al
though Mr. Davis is a good rider, the
movement was so quick and unex
pected that he was thrown from his
saddle and struck the pavement with
his head and shoulders.
He was picked up unconscious and
It was at first thought his neck had
been broken; but an examination re
vealed that this was not the case.
When he came to his senses he was
found partially paralyzed.
In telling the story, Mr. Davis said
to the reporter of the Manistee Times:
"It was three days and nights after
the accident before I came to know
anyone, and then I found my left side
was paralyzed. I could not move even
a finger or toe on my left side and
my left eye was affected. A doctor
treated me for three months after I
was hurt, but I got no better. After
this had gone on for a couple of years
1 saw an account in a paper of how a
man was cured of creeping paralysis
by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People, and I thought perhaps they
would help me. And they did. I be
gan to get better immediately and
kept taking them till I was cured, i
am doing my work now without diffi
culty and recommend Dr. Willlam3
Pink Pills for Pale People to every
one whom 1 hear complain."
Mr. Davis is a marine engineer on
the tug Stevens and, although the ac
cident took place eleven years ao, he
has not had a touch of the complaint
since his marvelous cure by Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
It is a reasonable claim that if Dr.
Williams Pink PHls for Pale People
will cure severe cases of this nature
they will readily accomplish as good
results in lesser afflictions of the
nerves. That this is so is substan
tiated by statements from thousands
of people who have bsen cured by
them. They are a positive specific for
all diseases arising from a deranged
nervous system or poor blood. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are sold by all dealers or will be sent
postpaid on receipt of priced fifty cents
a box; six boxes for two dollars and
fifty cents, by addressing Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Company, Schenectady,

One of the greatest late modern dis
coveries and inventions sis the ability
to transfer, over wires, the water
power of mountain streams, cataracts
and rapids. The wasted power of
Niagara falls is now a small portion
c.f it, being distributed over territory
for nearly fifty miles in every direc
tion. It is estimated that electric pow
er on this territory saves not less than
a thousand tons of coal each day, that
is. counting coal and steam to do the
same work. The waters of the Yuba
river. California, are impounded and
brought down the mountain in pipes
and the pressure used to send the elec
tric current two or three hundred
miles. All the large central cities
of the state are lighted and warmed
1 v tbp current. Their street cars and
mrhinery of all kinds, factories and
f.our mills are run and so are sewins
knitting and washing machines. Cali
fornia knows a great lack of fuel, espe
cially coal. The electric current saves
them thousands of dollars dally.
Theodore Roosevelt had. by nature,
several perpendicular qualities. To
those were added a clear, warm con
science, but since being inaugurated
p-esident something has overpowered
biro and he is no longer Roosevelt,
but Mark Hanna's assistant.
The block or log house system of
South Africa, being built by the Eng
lish army, are to serve as a sort of
picket line. They are built on a line
two or three thousand feet apart, and
are to afford shelter and protection for
ten or fifteen soldiers each. The Eng
lish know that a large army will
need to remain there to keep the peo
ple under control.
It is reported that the emigrants to
West Africa from Tuskegee are suc
ceeding finely in raising cotton. The
quality is almost equal to the best
raised in this country. The great trou
ble is in land transportation. Most
freight is carried on the heads of men
and women. The flies are death on
horses and cattle.
The most dreaded crime should be
followed by the most dreaded punish
ment, not because the crime has been
committed, but to deter others from
committing the same crime. Murder
3s the most dreaded crime and hang
ing the most dreaded punishment. It
is more and more becoming necessary
for the people to do the part of judg,
jury and executioner, thus override
governors' pardons.
COUNTRY AROUSED
General Smith's 'Kill and Burn' Order at
Last Aronwi the People to a Realisa
tion of What Imperialism
Means
At last the country as- a whole is
aroused to the barbarity of the acts of
our army in the Philippines. The
"kill and burn" order of General
Smith stamps him as the modern
Herod. Weyler becomes a civilized
gentleman beside the action of our
army In leaving a province a howling
wilderness and the killing of every In
habitant, male and female, over ten
years of age. This Is conciliation with
a vengeance.
That this was done is admitted by
our officers and the exposure of this,
the water cure and other methods of
torture has so frightened and dis
gusted even the republicans that there
is serious talk of adjourning congress
early In order to get away from fur
ther revelations of the atrocities which
have been committed in the Philippine
Islands in the name of freedom.
It has not even been subjugation nor
conquest in the ordinary sense of the
term. The brutality exhibited , by our
army has not been equalled In any
history of modern warfare and seldom
in ancient annals.
Ever since we began sending troops
to the Philippines stories have filtered
back hinting at these outrages, but
they were not officially confirmed and
the people as a whole hesitated to be
lieve that the administration and the
party In power would lend itself to
such measures against a helpless peo
ple, whose only crime was a detesta
tion of Spanish methods and a turn
ing to us as their deliverers that they
might enjoy freedom.
It must be remembered that ihi
knowledge of the acts of our army has
been in the war department for over
a year and has been known for months
to the republican leaders in congress.
The country" at large would not have
the truth now only the democratic
leaders in the senate and the demo
crats on the Philippine Investigating
committee have forced the truth to
the front.
Under the leadership of Bailey, Car
mack, Patterson, Rawlins and Turner,
the democrats in the senate have per
formed a patriotic service in letting
the country know exactly- what our
military-expansion policy means. The
wave of horror that has swept over
the country at the realization of the
even a few of the atrocities committed
by our army augurs ill for the party
which stands for that policy. Judg
ment will be passed upon it in no un
certain terms at the first opportunity.
The republicans are In terror of
fresh revelations. First they would
not have Major Gardener summoned,
then they would and now they won't.
It will be remembered that Major Gar
dener's report published some time
ago was one of the first things to give
official confirmation to the, suspicion
that our rule In the Philippines was
marked by extreme cruelty. Major
Gardener's regiment has been ordered
home, but the republicans do not de
sire any more of the truth to be made
known.
For some time It has been the cus
tom for General MacArthur or any
other administration witness to quote
Aguinaldo or any other Filipino leader
in any way they chose. Senator Rawl
ins and Patterson have asked that
Aguinaldo be summoned and allowed
to speak for himself. He is our pris
oner and is accused' of every crime
from murder and treason down to the
end of the calendar; yet denied the
privilege of appearing in his own. de
fense. The administration representatives
are very sorry that Roosevelt ever or
dered .any investigation. Into the
charges of cruelty, but he is not en
titled to any special credit for that
because he did not do so until forced
to it by the facts extracted by the
democratic members of the Philippine
committee. The whole republican
program now Is to shut off the expos
ure of facts at the earliest possible
moment.
In connection with the revelation?
In regard to our policy in the Philip
pines comes again the question of
what all this is costing the country.
It Is very evident, that whatever the
outlay we are reaping no return of
any sort. The devastation of pro
vinces and wholesale killing of the
natives bears no relations to the arts
of peace or the promotion of com
merce. The war department at .first flatly
refused to give the figured. Senator
Culberson of Texas first made the re
quest and got a very impertinent let-;
ter from Secretary Root for daring 10
ask how much the Philippines were
costing us. However, when the sen
ate as a whole concluded that a depart
ment dependent on congress for Its
appropriations cannot refuse to state
what is being done with the money,
Root became more gracious and ex
plained that it was difficult because
the clerks were too busy disbursing
the money.
We have had no accounting from
the war department since November
1. 1899. That was incomplete, but
showed that fifty-five millions had al
ready been spent exclusive of the
twenty millions of purchase money. n
We know that when our expenditures'
in Cuba were aired there were grav?
scandals discovered. There will, be
greater ones in the Philippines. It
remains to be seen whether or not
congress will blindly appropriate mil
lions without any knowledge of how
they are being expended In the Phil
ippines. D. P. B.

Mr. Bowen Runs up Against a Mullet Head
and Feels Somewhat Disheartened
Editor Independent: I never feel
my poverty more than when I think
what I could do for such causes as
.you are engaged in, if I was rich. I
honestly believe that 100.000 copies ot
your paper judiciously distributed for
one year would create a revolution in
public feeling which, would express
itself at the polls.
I recollect reading the pop plat
form of '92 and -saying then that it
was a new declaration of indepen
dence, but here in the east we have to
take what we can get In the way of
political news. It's hard to be a re
former in this state; this morning
when I asked an alleged democrat tJ
subscribe for The Independent he said
with a sneer'That Is a pop paper, isn't
it?" When reminded that Brjjan and
the present organization was popul
istic; that that , sentiment probably
influenced 95 per cent of the .demo
cratic vote, he could not ' see it so.
There-are mullet heads among the
democrats as well as the republicans,
but not in such proportion I should
hope. ; .;; vi
" T read with interest votir priltoH&j ir
which you say that one man has don
all the editorial writing and Is now 62!
Just my age, and had I the ability,
as I have the wish, to do so much for
the cause of reform as you are doing,
I don't see how one brain or one con
stitution can stand it. I do not know
how generous reformers are as a class,
but it seems to me that the least we
can do Is to subscribe and pay for
The Independent. One trouble is, we
are all poor; and another, we scatter
too much.
What with prohibition, single tax.
woman suffrage, labor unions, income
tax, municipal ownership, etc., each
with its votaries and one idea, the
enemy have an easy task in vanquish
ing us in detail, as Napoleon used to
his adversaries. I have thought for
years that for genuine Americanism
one must go south or west, but I must
confess that you Nebraska people are
an enigma to me! If the governor of
this state or the mayor of a city in it
were to do anything one-half a3 dis
gusting as your Bartleys et al. have
done, the state's prison would get
them sure. Don't lose or forget the
term mullet head. It's very catching
and expressive, if not exactly Bos
tonese. In this, most populous, and
richest of states, there i3 not one sin
gle paper that would dare publish the
plain truth as you do ; nor is there
one. considering the way you are over
worked and pressed for time and copy,
as able bar none. You do not make
a point about anything, but what in
my crude way I have thought about it
many times, but never have seen it in
print before.
And I reason like this: That if I
have thought of these things without
outside suggestion, there mu3t be
many thousands more to whom your
paper will come as a gospel of glad
tidings. I sent for sample copy of
Pawnee Chief with the view of sub
scribing, but they evidently have all
the patrons they want. Don't think
you need to send me any more extra
copies. It's pearls before swine in
this community and if I can dispose of
the other postals can do it as well
without samples.

they will have no need to voto the re

should go as far toward adopting pop
