Some ~so-called democratic papers
are leaving Missouri, always demo-

get timber to boom for president.
Massachusetts, never gives a democrat
an electoral vote, and will not do so
this year.

Mr.. Maffitt's resignation from the
Office of chairman of the state central
committee is in the hands of the
secretary of that committee. This is
Mr.. Mafit's third attempt to resign.
Because the democrats do not see Just
like he does, he can't longer preside
over the deliberations of the COM
mittee. At every step his money ideas
have been defeated, and just so often
has he tried to resign and just so often
has he been sugar-coated to stay in the
position. Mr.. Mafitt has been a very
good party worker and has contributed
generously to the campaign funds, but
for ali these things he has been highly
shonored. Had it not been for the
npocratic party he would not have
known beyond the confines of his
city. He is no great politician
not an extra brilliant leader. The
Fly can be run without him if he
ANTS out, and the best thing to do is
&c let him out.

WHERE Is RARDY7

w. G. Hardy, q saddler, who had been
in The employ of Henry Hainkel for
four weeks, suddenly disappeared on the
9th inst, since which time no trace of
him has been discovered, though every
effort has been made to ascereain what
has become OF him.. He came here from
Clinton, Mo-, having been recommended
to Mr.. Hainkel by Mr.. Lutte Bascom, a
and harness house.
Hardy was known to take occasional
sprees, but being a fine workman he had
no difficulty in getting work at his trade.
On the day he disappeared Mr.. Hainkel
gave him a dollar, and still owes him 20.
He boarded at the Grand Central and left
all his effects there.
About 10 O'Clock on the night OF his
disappearance he told an acquaintance in
the hotel Office that he was going up to
his room, but he did not occupy his bed
that night, and since then no n has
has seen or heard Of him. Mr.. Hainkel
wrote to Clinton, but he had not returned
there, and it is now believed that he
walked or jumped into the Missouri
river. He did not go out on any of the
Trains anu QlO uOL CEO56 tnO Oh ShS
ferry boat. He left all his baggage at the
hotel and his tools at the harness shop.
He was under the influence of liquor, and
and had been drinking heavily for three
days.
Mr.. Hainkel is strongly of the opinion
that Hardy drowned himself In the river.
He had been threatened with delirium
tremens, and was in such a condition at
the time of his disappearance that he was
unable to talk nationally. He owed moth
ing at the hotel. He was 81 years of age,
medium height, and weighed 157 pounds.
He was dressed in q dark gray suit. His
hair and moustache were we'll sprinkled
with grey. He served In the confederate
army as q lieutenant-colonei, and was q
man of some ability. He was a native of
Hagerstown, Md, and said that he was
we'll acquainted with the notorious Guam
trell, who lived just across the street
from him when they were boys. Any in
formation regarding him will be thank
fully received by Mr.. Hainkel, who is
anxious to know what has become OF
him, in order that he may inform his
friends at Clinton.

A PRAISE SERVICE,

Sunday evening the revival at the
Methodist church closed, and a "praise
seryice' marked its close. Those who
desired were invited to take part in the
service, and full one hundred did SO.
s'Why 1 praise God' was the subject, and
it was answered by Mr.. Edwin M. Taub-
man In the following beautiful words:
1t seems to me that no more opportune
or fitting time than this for a praise
service could possibly have been chosen,
either from a physical or a spiritual
standpoint. A day almost perfect in all
of its attributes has just drawn to a close.
A day laden with Gods loving kindnesses
and tender mercies, filled with His good
ness and made bright by the splendor OF
His sunshine. A day when all nature
seemed to sing praises unto natures God,
and to fill all nimat life with joy
and gladness. God has bathed our earth
In sunshine and watered it with rain and
dew from heaven, and made it to put
forth it's buds and loo and blossom as
the rose; and at the same time He has
caused the great sun OF righteousness to
shine into our hearts; He has watered our
souls with the dew of His love; He has
removed doubts and sins and fears, and
we are led to exclaim 81 will praise Thee,
o Lord, with my whole heart; ! will show
forth all Thy marvellous works" God
indeed has been wondrous kind to us. He
has revived this church; He has edited
her members; He has reclaimed back
sliders; He has snatched lost immortal
souls from the very brink of the pit of
eternal destruction itself, and He has
caused the pulse of this very city to beat
with new life and better blood, and with
David 1 would say, Let the people praise
Thee, o God, let all the people praise
Thee,o

Carnival day at Garfield Beach
promises to be one of the most enjoy
able of the big three days celebration.
The Union Pacific people are exerting
great efforts to make it so and they
will undoubtedly succeed in giving the
city's guests on that occasion a grand

to the resort in the afternoon accom-
panied by her court TO witness the
festivities and there begin her reign
over the most willing subjects who ever
bent knee 10 royal sovereign.
The road race, which is to be one of
the chief features of the day, will I'M
doubtedly be one of the most inter
esting events of its kind that has ever
taken place in this region. and as roy
atty has a notable penchant for racing.
her majesty may be expected TO give
expression, through her grand cham
berlain, of her unqualified approval
The effort to secure among the en-
tries the we'll known bikers Emory
and Fenton, has been successful, a
fact which will lend additional interest,
for The reason that they are employees
of the Union Pacific and Rio Grande
Western respectively, and there is
great rivalry between them. The eX-
perts will make their supreme effort
on that day and great race is as
sured.
Professor Lennon and his Indian
band from Grand Junction will be a
unique attraction, and Professor Har-
ris, the celebrated aeronaut, Will make
balloon ascension and. parachute

be the bathing and boating and the
