SOUTHWEST MISSOURI CONFER
ENCE.
Rev. Mr.. Carpenter Exhonerated.
to the KANSAS CIV Times.

Special to the Kansas City Times.
NEVADA, Mo-, Sept. 16.-The Southwest
Missouri conference of the NJ. E. church
(South) convened here today, Bishop Gal.
loway presiding. This conference pos.
sesses more than usual interest from the
fact that the characters of two ministers
Rev. w. ]. Carpenter of Orlando, Fla, ahd
Rev. Neil Pug=ley Of Warrensburg, were
booked for Investigation.
Rev. Carpenter, while pastor of Centen-
airy church, this city, was charged with
immoral conduct. His case was investi-
gated by Presiding Elders G. IL. Briggs
w. tt. Mcclure and Clinton Clenny, who
acquitted him of all charges. When his
name was called in the conference today
by Bishop Galloway a motion was made
by Presiding Elder Briggs to appoint a
new committee of investigation. This
motion, he said, was made because some
were not satisfied with the verdict of the
former Investigating committee, of which
he had been a member.
The matter was discussed at some
length, and the motion to reopen the case
lost by a vote of SO ayes to SO nays. Mr..
Carpenter was suspended from his pas
torate here when the charges were first
made against his character, and he after
ward went to Orlando, Fla, where he ac-
cepted the pastorate of a church. The
action of the conference today is consid-
cred an exoneration of all charges against
him.

there will be none left in the stomach to

Every business in Lexington rests
upon the condition of the farmer. II
the farmer is prosperous the merchant
will prosper, the wage Garner, the
lawyer, the doctor, the mechanic, the
editor will prosper. If he does not
prosper his failure is felt as seriously
by all classes of business men as it is
felt by him. The gold standard has
destroyed prices of farm products, and
if continued will bankrupt the farmer,
hence it is to the interest of the labor
ing man, the merchant, the doctor, the
lawyer and the followers of every
aVocation to vote against the single
gold standard. Vote the price out of
wheat and corn and you vote business
out of your store and Office.

BATTLE OF LEXINGTON
The Thirty-Fifth Anniversary
Celebrated Yesterday.
MANY MEXICAN VETERANS HERE
The Soldiers OF Two Wars Meeting
Old Comrades.

The thirty-ffth anniversary of the bat
tie of Lexington was celebrated yester-
day in conjunction with the Mexican vet
Grams.
The day opened with a terrific rain
storm, and showers of rain fell all during
the day. Notwithstanding this there was
a large crowd here. About sixty veterans
of the Mexican were here, and the pro-
gram, with some changes, was carried out.
ORDER Of
After excellent music by the Concordia
band the meeting was called to order
about 1880 o'clock by Hon. H. G. Wallace,
ST., chairman of the exercises, who called
on Judge Jno. E. Ryland t invok the
divine blessing. He responded in an i'm
pressive manner.
Chairman Wallace then addressed the
large crowd assembled. After a few words
of welcome he spoke of the historic feat
ures of the occasion as being fraught with
interest to every true friend of u coun-
try. He spoke of the motives which
prompted these bic veterans OF two wars

Lexington, commanded by Capt. John
Tyler. 1t was composed of men of all
shades of political opinions. 1t was sup
posed to be organized for "home protec-
tion," and was designed to offer equal
protection to the homes and persons of
all. After drilling some few times, he
company was d~isbanded, Capt. Tyler
afterwards entering the federal army.
After the news of the capture of
Camp jackson and the firing upon
the citizens of st. LOU by Gen. Lyon
reached this county, a thrill OF indignation
swept over the county, and the affrnt was
resented. Meetings were held and steps
for an organized effort to free the state
from unsought federal interference in our
state and domestic affairs.
The sympathizers of the southern senti-
ment at that time were in the majority,
and did not care to hesitate to express
their attitude with reference to the issues

MR.. CLEVELAND JOINS TIE
RDITERS

Grover cleveland has at last given
out an Official declaration of what will
be his future political affiliations.
He has openly declared that he will
support the ticket placed in the field
by the gold boilers.
1t was Mr.. Cleveland who wrote to
Clark Howell IN 1892 81 think the
underlying principle of party organ
Ization is what You so admirably
express as an acceptance of the
a%rbitrament of the national convention.
| On the other hand it is as fully the
duty of one opposed to shut his mind
and heart to any feeling of irritation or
resentment that might be allowed to
grow out of opposition based upon
honest judgment and a conscientious
desire for party success"
In 1892 Grover Cleveland was a
candidate for the presidency. Clark
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constr
tuition, was for Hill because he was a
silver man. Hill was defeated for the
nomination and Grover was very
anxious that Howell ''accept the
arbitrament of the national cOnven-
tion," all of which Howell did.
But it is different this year. Mr..
Cleveland preached the ''arbitrament
of the national convention" when How
ellis OK was gored. This year Mr..
Cleveland's OK was gored, and the
ssarbitrament of the national conyen
tom has no effect on his action.
MIR. Cleveland was taken from the
walks of an humble citizen, made a
sheriff; from that a governor, and
from, governor twice elected to the
white house by the democratic party.
lie was elected president twice because
democrats like Clark Howell accepted
the s~sarbitrament of the national con-
ventlon."
The democratic party for the last
twelve years has devoted its every
energy to make Cleveland a great man.
If it had spent less time with Cleveland
and more with the people it would
have had Il silver law on the statute
books now. MIR. Cleveland is not a
great man. Honest though he may be,
he has failed to show III his long public
career the elements of greatness. His
state papers will not compare with
those of the great democrats of the
past. He does not even possess the
virtue of consistency. He is not n firm
man, but an obstinate one. Added to !
what weakness he has shown a q
statesman he now comes forward the
prince of party ingrates and the king
of political mugwumps.
If the policy MIR. Cleveland has
followed is right, his duty to his coun-
try would be to vote for Mckinley,
who will, if elected, continue that
Between Bryan and Mckinley
there is no middle ground. Gratitude
and his past teachings about the
ssarbitrament of the national conven-
might have constrained MIR.
Cleveland to support Bryan. If not
then courage and manhood ought to
have actuated him 10 support Mckinley.
A mugwump is a political coward.

were in the old Masonic college, now
Central Female College, and this point
was vigorously shelled by the artillerists
of the confederate forces. Editor Van
Horn. of the Kansas City journal was in
charge of some OF the federal forces.
After several days fighting and evidence
of much bravery on both sides, the
federals under Col. Mulligan surrendered
to Gen. Price. This was an historic battle,
and the old battle ground is today an
object of much interest to those whe wore
the blue or gray and their descendants.
1t will probably some day be a national
park, the subject being under considera-
ton by ongress and being Endorsed
strongly by our senators and congress-
men.

Annals retreat, and when played was
cheered by the veterans to the echo.
The fightingest old soldier on the
grounds yesterday was Maj. Horatio
Hughes, of New Franklin. He has
been actively a participant in every wal
this country has had for wei three
quarters of a century. He was in the
Black Hawk war, the Mormon war and
commanded a company in the Kansas
war. He was a captain under Doniphan
i'll the Mexican war, and was major of
the 9th Missouri regiment for four years
in the civil war. Besides this he has
been in several skirmishes with the
Indians. He is 81 years old and was in
the battle of Lexington. He is the
Oldest II Of the veterans, but is able to
do some lighting yet.
The Oldest man on the grounds was
Judge Eldridge Burden, the first mayor
of Lexington. He is "a years of age but
no n enjoyed the occasion more than
he. His father was a soldier in the war
of the revolution. One of his brothers
was in the war of 1912, and his Oldest
brother was a Kentucky rifieman under
Gems. st. Clair and Anthony Wayne at
the battle Of Fallen Timbers over 100
years ago. His granddaughter, who
was also or the ground, is a great
granddaughter of General Nathaniel
Davidson of revolutionary fame, who
was killed at the battle of Catawba
river by the troops of CORVALLIS. This
granddaughter of Judge Burdens had
four uncles in the Mexican war.
