The Trouble q Poor Cook Made.

1t happened in this way:
There was O new cook in the great
merchants house. and she didn't under.
stand just how to cook his favorite
dishes. Consequently the great mer-
chant grumbled ovcr his breakfast and
was in an ugly mood when he reached
the Office.
The Junior partner came into the pri-
vatc Office and the great merchant inn
mediately wanted to know how he came
to let Bilks in Aurora have that last bill
!Of goods on time when every one il
town knew that he was going to fail.
The junior partner wasn't feeling par
.ticuiarly well himself and he promptly
went out and tod the credit man that
ono more mistake like that would cost
him his position.
The credit man had q touch of dys-
pepsia and he gave the head of the de-
partment the goods had been sold from
'twenty-tour hours to get them back. get
the cash, or hand in his resignation.
The head of the department promptly
Informed the salesman who had sold the
goods that the amount Of Bilks' bill
would be taken out of his salary.
The salesman "jumped" on the ship
ping clerk on general principles and said
he was going to lodge a complaint on the
slowncss with which goods wero handled,
and it was his opinion that the shipping
clerk would be looking for q new Job in
side Of two days.
The shipping clerk Immediately boxed
one OF the delivery boys ears and the
boy threw . piece of board at him.
The boy was discharged for insubor.
dfnatfon, and that was the result Of one

Pollard, was a wealthy citizen Of
North Missouri and held the offices
of Circuit Clerk and Representative
of Caldwell county for many years.
Since Judge Pollard's entry into
politics in 1887, he has been a dele
gate to several Democratic State
Conventions from his ward.
He was selected by Governor
David R. Francis when he became a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor in 1885, to handle
his campaign and look after his in
terests in several counties in the
northern part of the State. The
Richmond (Ray county, Com servator,
commenting on the campaign he
made, said: cit was the entering
wedge to the Governors success in
this portion of the State"
Judge Pollard was appointed to a
position in the Water Rates office
in 1899, which he resigned a year
ago to accept the Office of Justice of
the Peace of the Fourteenth District,
to which he was elected without OPP
position. Since his election he has
been repeatedly appointed by Mayor
Edward A. Noonan Acting Judge of
the First and Second District Police
Courts during the absence of the
regularly appointed judges. The
heavy fines he imposes upon the
thugs and hoodlums has made him
a terror to the evil-doer.
His ruling, declaring arrests with
out warrants by the police for viola
tons of the city ordinances illegal,
and his prompt discharge of every
one SC arrested, with a reprimand to
the officer, attracted attention
throughout the city and state.
His ruling in this matter, as well
as his decision in the celebrated
slaughterhouse case, won for him
the endorsement of the public and
the entire press of the city. He has
been frequently mentioned by the
press in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for Lieutenant
Governor and may conclude to make
the race.
Judge Pollard is single and re-
sides with his aged and widowed
mother at Tower Grove Station,
where, previous to his entry into
politics, he was engaged for a num-
Der of wears in the grocery business.

AS TO CRAWFORD cauNrY.

Beyond question, Hon. Champ
Clark is the choice of the majority
of Democrats in this district for Con
gress. He carried Audrain county
by an overwhelming majority he
carried Rails county by an unlocked
for large majority. Without Craw-
ford county he lacks three vote of the
nomination. The friends of MIR.
Clark in Crawford county claim that
from 800 to 500 more Democrats
want him than Mr.. Norton and that
the mass convention held i'm Cuba
showed this to be a fact. The led
GER has taken no active part in the
contest between Mr.. Clark and MIR.
Norton and is only interested in
having the nomination made in such
a way that the nominee can be
elected. Mr.. Norton had ii all his
own way, as far as we can learn, in
regard to the preliminary arrange
ments in Crawford county. He
wanted a mass meeting instead of a
primary election. He got the mass
meeting. He wanted the mass
meeting held in Cuba instead OF at
Steelville. He got the mass meet
ing held at Cuba. 1t also appears
to us that the Clark delegates were
regularly elected from that county
and should be seated. The Demo-
cratic party cares nothing for Mr..
Norton or Mr.. Clark. A grand
principle is at stake and unless we
are careful a Republican will repre-
sent US in Congress. We Judge that
Clark's delegates were regularly
elected and the majority ofDemocrats
in Cuba on that day were for him.
If this is a fact his delegation should
be seated and Mr.. Norton should
see that this matter of a contest is
Immediately stopped. We think
that he knows what is right and
proper in the premises and trust
that he will act accordingly. We are
sure he is not a man to be a party
to any act which would tend toward
the defeat of Mr.. Clark after he is
nominated. The c~ontesting dele
CATION from Crawford county means
a loss of many votes to the nominee.
We trust that this matter will be
amicably and promptly settled. The
rank and file of the Democratic
party have a right to demand that
this trouble be properly adjusted in
such a manner that their interests
shall not suffer. The leaders of the
party have a right to their ambitions
but they should be careful to do
nothing to endanger the success of
the party. The trouble in Crawford
county can eventuate in no good to
any except the Republican party.
