~iticians are already d~enouncing the
farmers alliance and will endeavor to
destroy the organization by indirection
if by no other means. Beware of an
old radical ringster who quotes OF the
beauties of a third party. He is a wolf
in sleeps clothing.
Ir,ntOn Reglster:-A remarkably
large fifteen year old boy was in town
last week from the western part of the
county. His heighth was 6 feet, 3 inch
es; a seven-and-a. halt hat was too
small for him and because he couldn't
get a No. IS shoe on his loot he had to
leave an order for Is special pair OF IFS.
NeOsho Times:-The name of DR..
Prottsman is presented for chaplain of
the Missouri house of representatives.
DIR. Prottsman is a minister of the Meth
odlst Episcopal church, we'll known
throughout the state and needs no intro.
duction. He should receive the sup
port of the representatives of southwest
Missouri.
Lancaster Excelsior.-GOv. Francis
displayed most excellent judgment in
the appointment of the new supreme
court judges. No better men than
Messrs. Thomas, of Desoto, and Mac
~farlane, of Mexico, could be found. As
the Globe Democrat well says, "they
will strengthen q court already strong
in its requirements"
Kahoka Herald:-The last demo-
cratic congress left such a surplus in
the national treasury that it was diff
cult TO find storage room for the money.
After two years OF republican congress
sional legislation, the surplus has been
supplanted by a large sized '+hole,"
which the new democratic congress
will have to try aid fill.
Marshall Democrat-News:-A old
maid of Lebanon gave a tramp a stale
slice of bread with the butter spread
thinner than charity, remarking: al
don't give you this for your sake, but
for Chrlst's sake" "Then for Gods
sake" said the tramp, "spread the but
ter on thick enough for Him to detect it
with His all seeing eye."
Pulaski County Democrat:-A Mis-
sissippi negro who was fired OH while
attempting a robbery got safe into the
swamps but thirty days later he came
out and made a call OIL a doctor and
asked to be looked over. lie had forty
buckshot in his legs and a bullet in HE
shoulder, and expressed himself as tired
of carrying 80 much lead around.
Hannibal Journsl:-In suggesting
that VIM. H.. Hatch, our distinguished
representative and honored fellow citi-
zen, should be called by his party to
the high Office of the speaker of the
national house of representatives. we
feel that we are but giving expression
to the wishes OF many thousand of DEM
ocrats In every state and territory of
the American union.
Carrollton Democrat - While con-
graduating the democracy, and the peo-
pie of Missouri, over our return to an
"old time" democratic majority 1t
should not be forgotten that one factor
which played no unimportant part in
bringing it about was the wise and just
administration of DUR popular governor.
No campaign thunder was found by the
opposition in any official action OF Dave
Francis.
Knox County Democrat Not two
years ago by something over three
months, the republicans took charge OF
the government, finding a big surplus
in the treasury. Since then our re-
ceipts have constantly increased and
yet il is now necessary to consider how
we may increase the income of the gov
eminent, in order to raise the money
to meet its annual expenditures. That
tells the story.
Greenfield Advocate:--As a default
ter, but successful republican campaign
manager, Matthew Stanley Quay was
"Senator Quay with the republicans
aud was lionized by his party. AS .
failure however, he is to the republicans
and democrats alike "Defaulter Quay
and there is no man SO despicsblet to the
party which 80 recently lauded him to
the skies. Thus the ups and downs of
political prestige are marvellous.
The Pulaski Co. Democrat:-An
Abilene (Kss.) man recently helped 10
settle up the estate of his father, who
died in the state of New York, and al.
though there were several thousand
dollars involved and the property was
divided among a number OF children, the
entire cost of administration was only
thirty cents-for postage and paper.
The property was DIVIDED into equal
portions, and all heirs took their choice.
Palmyra Spectator:-HannibaI now
boasts of a romance in real life. Last
week a lady got off the train at the
union depot and, walking up to a by
stander, asked him il he knew ANYTHING
of one Thomas Bissell. II happened
that Thomas Bissell was the man ad-
dressed and so informed the inquirer,
when she stated that she was his wife, /
from whom he had been separated for
twenty years. He recognized her and
Immediately took her to his heart and
home. They are now living together
as happy as clans at high tide.
Monroe City Democrat miss Irene
Hoyt, the heiress of a New York mil
lionaire, has taken up a curious fad.
She is a collector-s collector of corner !
lots. She has picked up a number OF
fine pieces of property in New York,
and has made many such investments
in other cities. Wherever a corner lot
seems worth adding to her interesting
collection she always becomes its pur-
chaser, no matter what the price. Her
highest delight is found in such acqul-
sitions. Miss HOyt is perhaps the first
collector who has made corner lots q
speciality, but there is no reason why |
her inexpensive and amusing fad should
be as popular as the pursuit of old
coins, autographs and postage stamps.
