Boss Uiil DrposCd
The democratic State convention ut Sara
toga resulted Wednesday in the nomination of
the slate, headed by Flower which
had been sent out several days in advance
as the one that would be placed In the field.
This was what tho convention assembled
for, but in one respect it was the least i'm
portant result OF the democratic conclavc.
The convention witnessed the first serious
check to Gov Hill'5 reign OF bossism, and
it would not be surprising If the legitimate
outcome would he the disappearance OF the
governor from the field as an available can
| didate for the democratic nomination for
| president. 1t came about In this way.
Hill desired to give the second place on
the ticket to some Kings county man
to conciliate Boss Mclaughlin, who favored
Chaplin for governor. Itill had, however,
encouraged Speaker ShcaAnn to run for
lieutenant governor AMI when he wished to
sholve Sheehan at the last movement the
latter very naturally objected The result
was n bitter quarrel between the two, raj

The Kansas City Times, whose
editor is as ignorant about Southeast
Missouri as an African cannibal is

"Mr. Louis IIouck is one of the
hustlers who have helped to develop
Southeast Missouri. Several years
ago he built a little jug-handled road
running from the Cape back into the
Businesses of Stoddard county. 1t
was but a few miles in length, and for
a time the bull-frogs, the mosquitoes
and snakes persisted in sleeping on
the tracks to the great annoyance of
the trainmen, as they would frequently
have TO stop the train and present n
''round robin" asking the aforesaid
bull-frogs, mosquitoes and snakes 10
move off and allow the train to make
schedule time. When these native
denlZens had become educated to that
degree that they would roll off the

A BIG Pile OF Money.

In making an inventory of the per-
sonal property belonging to the estate
of the late John Painter, the gentle
men engaged in the work Tuesday
found a big pile of money laid away
in his residence. The money was not
hid. Ii was done up in packages and
laid away. Mrs. Painter knew where
the money was and showed it to the
appraisers that it might be counted
by them and appraised along with the
other personal property. The money
was counted and then deposited in
the vault in the Sturdivant Bank. II
was reported that something like ten
thousand dollars was the amount
found but there must have been twice
that much or more for it was all that
three or four men could do to carry
it in from the Painter residence to the
Sturdivant Bank. 1t was always
claimed that Mr.. Painter had lots OF
money and that he kept only a part
Of his wealth in the Bank and this find
proves that lie did have money that
no one except his wife knew anything
about.

The Owl Club Excursion.

The Owl Club excursion train left
the depot promptly at 8 O'Clock Sun
day morning. The crowd of excursion
ISIS was, owing to the threatening
weather, not as large as was expected,
but two large passenger coaches were
comfortably filled with merry crowd.
The picnic grounds on the bank of
the beautiful 81. Francis River were
reached al l1:25 a. H., when the well
filed baskets Of good things were
taken from the cars and conveyed TO
the picnic grounds. The boats were
lowered and launched into the little
river: swings were made. and then the
cxoursionists proceeded to enjoy
themselves and in that they were
surely successful. No fishing was

So far as possible every man should
aim to secure a home of his own. In
the long run it is cheaper. The temp
tation of one who rents is to make
frequent changes, and no trucr saving

have only an average amount of
furniture. Its transportation cannot
be effected without breaking some of
it and marring Il great deal more. AS
a rule nothing fits whittier YOU go.
Even things which you did not need
will have to be bought to replace
destroyed or damaged ones so rs to
meet new conditions. When all has
been done you are fifty or seyenty-fivc

fore. Besides all connected with the

sick of themselves and everybody
that they know; that is unless they
arc angels in disposition. 1t seems
strange to see a large proportion of
the families in the community tear up
and move every spring, as if the
vagrant habits of their ancestors
away back in the early centuries still
ran as a tendency in their blood and
could not be resisted. In the second
place, any man who ceases to live in a
hired house in exchange for one of
his own instinctiyely, unconsciously
becomes a better citizen. He gains a
new interest in seeing the taxes kept
moderate, business flourish, good
order prevail, general improvements
go forward and the conditions of the
peoples happiness and prosperity
multiplied. 1t is among the property
less classes chiefly that socialism COM
munism, revolution and anarchy -four
ish ard cndanger the existing order
OF things. 1t is a duty that the head
of the family owes not only TO those
dependent upon him for support but
to the community to aim to become a
home-holder. The larger the pro-
portion of this class in the country
the safer Will sail the ship of State.
