A Weak Ticket.

The following are the opinions of
our U. S. Senators
Gen. Cockrell: / look upon
Harrison as an easy man to defeat.
He can't control any Democratic
votes in Indiana and they will
make it personal matter to beat
him. He is not popular here, and
l don't see where he is to get votes
enough to elect him.
Mr.. Vest: / concur in all that
my colleague has said. Harrison
is the easiest man for us to beat.
His record on the Chinese question
is damaging. He is not popular
in the Senate with either side, and
his withdrawal from public life in
Washington reminds me Of the
story told by an old fellow who
had left Kentucky. He was telling
some people about it, and remark
ed: "There were more dry eyes
in Kentucky than I had ever seen
before"

Fruit Show.
From the Rural World

In view of the fact that the State
of Missouri has at this time of the
year a good prospect for a good
crop of good apples; and that from
some place or places within the
State there is almost certainty
that a good show of our fruit can
be made this fall, and of the fur
ther fact that Mr.. Johnson, secre-
tary of the coming exposition in
St. Louis, has offered the very
best part Of their great building as
a place in which to exhibit the
horticultural products of Missouri,
your committee would recommend:
That we make at the exposition
at st. LOUIS, this fall, the best
possible show of the horticultural
and floral products of the State.
That the State society invite the
county and local societies to assist
and cooperate with the State So
ciety in preparing and making the
exhibit.
The county courts be requested
to appropriate the money neces-
sary to defray part or all of the ex-
penses of exhibiting the products
of their respective counties.
That all citizens who may have
it in their power to assist in this
work be requested so to do, each
in his own way, and as he may
have opportunity.
That arrangements be made soon
for the gathering of the early
fruits, and for cold storage to re-
ceive them.
That the proper means be placed
in the hands Of working commit
tees to do their work we'll.
That railroad companies and ex-
press companies be requested to
give free transportation to all the
products for this exhibit, and to
all persons travelling on this busi-
ness.
And, that all of our newspapers
and all our immigration societies,
be earnestly requested to help to
bring this matter early, often and
prominently before the people as
one of the best possible means Of
advertising the State.

wells attorneys, arrived on the
early train from St. Louis and pro-
ceeded to the Governors office and
requested Gov, Morehouse to grant
Maxwell a respite of sixty days,

The Governor took the matter un-

independence went "dry' at
the Local Option election. the vote
standing 753 to 5555--"dry"majority
just 300. The contest was prob
ably the most exciting that has yet
taken place. In the Kansas City
Times report of it we find this !:
"It is said the saloon men are
really responsible for the result Of
the election. Last spring there
was a Citizens and Democratic
ticket in the field. The saloon
men took an aggressive part for
the Citizens ticket and created a
good deal Of feeling. Their active
participation in that campaign
caused considerable resentment,
and a great many citizens, who
were heard to say that while they
had no objection to saloons, yet
when the saloon-keepers organized
to run the city it was time to sit
down on them" The saloons
must close July 3, when all licenses
expire.

Local Option contest in Independ-
ence: "Many of the best people
of the town are interested in the

sight to see young girls with a
horse and phaeton, covered with
streamers, bringing in their gentle
men friends to vote for Local Op-
ton" A sensation was caused at
10 O'Clock when three men were
caught voting illegally in the in
terest of the whisky party. They
were arrested and looked up. AT
noon the ladies visited their cell
bringing with them a substantial
dinner for each, which the trio pro-
ceeded to devour without due form
or ceremony. This attempt at
fraud charged many wet votes to
Local Option dry ones" "The
woman were everywhere, at the
polls, at the lunch stands and on
the steeet corners, all with red
badges of Local Option. Women
wearing elegant silk dresses were
on the streets with dry ballots in
their hands. Young girls stood al
the polls and a frequent sight was
to see young men come up with s
iblue badge and wet ticket ano
throw both on the floor. ashamed
to vote against Local Option, ant
then finally vote Local Option
straight. At every voting place
the girls had a banner on which
was inscribed, Temperance Beau1

Iestness with which they worked
indicated that they proposed tc
