ANOTHER FIGHT ON DALTON.
Court Records Presented to Grover
Cleveland at Washington City.

A few days since we published an
item of news as coming from Wash
ington City in reference to Richard
Dalton's candidacy for Surveyor of
the Port of st. Louis. The item
was given with the name of its au-
thor and not intended to iniure
Dalton's chances. We also publish
the followingitem ofnews in reference
to the same matter. 1t was sent from
Washington City by the correspond
sent of the Globe Democrat, a Repub-
can paper, and Col. Dalton being
"a Democrat, the reader should bear
this fact In mind:
"Col. Dick Dalton's candidacy for
Surveyor of the Port of st. Louis re-
eeived a hard blow to-day. The COM
plete transcript of a court record
against him was fled at the Treasury
Department. The case was one tried
some years ago. 1t grew out of a deal
in county bonds. On its face the court
record makes a very bad showing for
Dalton. His friends, however, claim
that an explanation can be made. In
official circles at the Treasury the i'm
preston is that unless the record can
be given a different Interpretation
from that which it seems to bear
Dalton will not be appointed. The
personal fight against Dalton does
not seem to be inspired by any Of
the other candidates for the place.
1t comes from sources interested
chiefly in defeating Dalton rather
than in benefting some one else.
The document filed to-day was in
Just the form to be the most effec-
tive. It is gotten up so as to make
the most damaging impression pos
sible upon Dalton's candidacy.

CHAMP CLARK's Hu
The Missouri Congressman fndulges IL
In Discussing His Hunt for Offices.

WASHINGTON, March Billion.
Champ Clark, who has been here for
some days doing all he could for his
constituents, has got sufficiently
over the feeling of awe natural to a
new Congressman to exercise his
grim humor a little. Yesterday he
said to your correspondent
"Do you want al office far from
the madding crowd? If you do I'll
give you one as cheerfully as ever
took a drink of water. Queer things
happen in this glorious world. Out
in the bloody Ninth there are from 2
to % applicants for every post
office except one, and they are not
mealy-mouthed about letting their
desires be known. They make things
rather lively for me, but at one post
office in a delightful neighborhood
the postmistress has resigned. She
writes me every day or two to have
her appointed. The Post
Office Department has notified me to
name a Postmaster. [ have offered
it to every Democrat receiving mail
at that office. Nobody will take it
on a golden platter. Now, pray tell
me what a poor Congressman is to
do. Ii l get a Postmaster appointed
the very old Harry is to pay. Here's
where l can't get anybody to take it
and I'll catch blixin.
81 have walked so much in hunt,
ing places for my people, gadding
about from pillar to post, that my
legs will soon be tough enough to
enter the tan bark ring in a regular
f~ree-for-all, go-as-you-please sprint
ing match. But it has n redeem,
ing feature; it gives me an appetite
like a circular saw"
In addition to looking after the
ordinary wants of his constituents
MI. Clark has undertaken a work OF
great public utility to thousands OF
his people, and that is to have the
mail service of the Montgomery ac-
commodation on the Wabash
changed from the pouch system to
the regular distribution system on
the train itself. If it is done the
people from Montgomery City to st.
Louis can communicate with each
other in half the time it now re-
quires. 1t would be a great benefit
to the people, but as it will require
a considerable outlay of money the
department may be slow to make
the change. Still Mr.. Clark hopes
to succeed.

Obituary of w. d.. Harrison

The subject of this memoir, W.
d. Harrison, was born in Montgom-
cry county, Va, Dec. Is, 1911, and
departed this life at his home, 7
miles southwest OF Mexico, Mo,
March 81, 1898; hence he was 81
years, 3 months and Is days old.
He was one of eight children, six
boys and two girls; but as his father
was twice married but two of these
the two girls-were his full sis
tiers. All of these preceded him to
the future world except one hall
brother, who fingers in age and
feebleness this side of the grave.
Bro. Harrison came to Missouri in
1882, and became a citizen Of Au.
drain county, where he had confirm.
ed to reside until his death. He was
twice married, the first time to Miss
Mary E. Bourn, June 10, 1911, tc
who were born eight children, five
of whom survive him. After four.
teen years of welded life the moth.
er was taken from the hus-
band and little children. He
was again married to Miss
Attire Bourn on July 2, 1855, both
wives being sisters. To this union
were born five children, three o.
whom are still living. Bro. Ifarri'
son protested religion after the ole
Methodist fashion and joined the
Methodist church more than &C
years ago. During his long relig
ious life he always sought to exem
plify the spirit of his Master. HI
was was greatly concerned that hi:
children be religious, hence at every
opportunity he would ask the pray.
ers of christian people in their be.
half and frequently prayed for then
himself. Bro. Harrison, in a con.
versation which | had with him OF
Wednesday before he died, express
ed himself as trusting in God anc
feeling at perfect ease about hi,
eternal salvation.
Brother Harrison was a good hus
band, an indulgent father, an hon
est, upright citizen, a kind, obliginl
neighbor and a faithful member o
the church. His funeral was preach
ed by this writer to a large ant
sympathizing congregation III tn,
Baptist church, near his home, OF
APRIL, at 4 p. M, after which W,
laid his body away to await the res
direction morning. May the gooc
Father bless and sustain the bereav
ed wife and children, and max,
this sad providence the mean o
their speedy salvation, is the prayer
of their friend and brother,
