There is a prospect of th,
loss of so much time over the con
consideration of the tariff bill
that some of the Republican Sena
tors favor a recess of Congress.

In the meantime the Finance

Petitions for dram shor
license were presented to the
County Court, this week, by G. W.
DeReamer and Geo. Melvin. Lii
cense in both cases was refused
on the ground that the applicants
had kept men in their employ who
had been convicted of selling
liquor illegally. As their licenses
expire June 12, Kirksville will
be without saloons, after that date
The T. & L. U. convention
which met here on Thursday,
tailed to nominate a ticket. A
Republican delegate stated that
the Democrats wanted half the
county offices, and the Republi-
cans half the state offices. This
division did not suit either party.
A Farmers convention has been
called to meet June 14th, but a
large number of prominent AL
lance men declare that they will
have nothing to do with the move
ment. They will now 60 back to
stay with, and work for the Re-
publican party.
Republicans never had
greater cause for rejoicing than
at the present time. New life is
being infused into business.
Prices on all farm products have
increased, and in some in
stances nearly doubled, since the
Republican party came into pow

their colors in this hour of tri-
umph, but will go to the polls next

the men of their choice. Don't al
low the vote to fall below that
of two years ago.
The Senate passed much of

package" case, which seems to be {
a problem most difficult of solu- {
tion. Some of the Senators
thought if the Supreme Court !
view prevailed that it would throw t
The doors widc open for saloons
innumersble, and destroy thu
license system, thus depriving the L
states of very large amount of :,
,evenue. The Senate sat down on i
,he Supreme Court. v
When prices began going /,
downward nearly six years ago, a
he farmers who were careful stu W
lents of the beef market, saw the r.
necessity for grading up their N
'attle. Many of them took the
advantage of the prevailing low f,
,rices to introduce the very best ol
'lood into their herds, and when W
'rices were lowest did not lose .,

nal outcome. The wisdom of fo
