DIR. Dewitt Talmage, the great
preacher, says there will be no war
with Spain. In discussing the
Spanish complication at Wabash,
Indiana, the other day, Mr.. Talmags
said: II have come direct from
Washington, aud 1 want to tell you
now that We will have no war with
Spain. The action of congress in
S5O,00O,OO0 for the
national defense settled that and
settled it conclusively."

The TIMES has watched the course
of E G. Mudd as sheriff of Bates
county very closely and with a crit
ical eye. He brought to the Office
that Drawn aud sinew that long
and active life on the farm will give,
with clear mind and courageous
spirit. Every expectation and hope
of his friends have been more than
realized, in that he has made one of
the very best sheriffs the county
ever had. The TINES feels like con-
graduating him aud the democratic
party, for he has not only reflected
credit upon himself, but upon the
party responsible for his election.
He is native of Kentucky, came to
Bates county in 1873 with his
parents aud located in East Boone
township, whore he has since lived,
with exception of few years he was
in the west engaged in contracting,
in which venture he was very sue
cessful, working a large force of
hands, and where he learned to
control men as well as himself. He
is a stalwart specimen of manhood,
clever, courteous and accommodating
to all who have business with him,
courageous in the discharge of his
duty and utterly devoid of physical
fear. He is the soul of honor and
true to his friends. Bates county
may have had as good, butno better
officer since her organization.

ever had

The name of Andy B. Owen car
be found in our announcement col.
unns, asking the endorsement of the
party OF his two years term as county
Treasurer by a re nomination to that
Office. When Andy Owen was nomi,
mated and elected it was prophesied
by those who knew him best that he
would make one Of the most pref
cisnt and popular officials ever in
the court house; this prediction has
been verified to the letter and he ia
to day stronger with the people than
ever before. He is q true son of
Bates county, 10 the manor born.
All his life has been spent among our
people and not one single act can be
pointed out that would reflect the
least discredit upon his standing as
a citizen, or a gentleman While a
strong partisan, always an active
democratic worker, yet his demeanor
has been such that be numbers
members of the other political par
ties among his strongest friends
The affairs Of the treasurers Office
are in excellent shape, the books
and records up to date, and back
taxes collected up as close as could
be expected. In fact he has made
an ideal Treasurer and will continue
to do so if the party endorses his
acts by a denomination.

Rich Hill Review.
The mules at No. Is mine, of the
Rich Hill Coal Mining Company
are to be given rare treat. On to
morrow morning they will be
brought to the surface where thew
will remain until next Wednesday,
The mine is to be shut down for
that period of time in order to allow
repairs to be made on the large fans
and air ways.
There are more than 80 nuIa in
the mines, and soma of them have
not seen daylight for many months
In fact one OF the number has not
bsen ont Of the pit since the mine
was opened, more than five wears
ago. Another one has not seen the
san shine for two years.
1t will require several hours so
the miners tell US, for the animals to
get their eyesight, afser beipe
brought to the surface. To watch
the poor brutes would certainly be
interesting. 1t viii no doubt seem
to them like going into a new world.

| There is no man in the coanty
whose candidacy the TIMES can refer
to with more pleasure than that
sterling democrat, genial gentleman
and substantial citizen, Sam West,
candidate for Presiding Judge of
the county court. Mr.. West came
to Bates county in the early days
and materially assisted in bringin g
the broad prairies to yield to man g
necessities. To such men is the de-
velopment of this rich and resource,
full county largely due. He served
bis country with distinction in the
array and returned to this border
county in time to assist 10 the en-,
franchisemsnt of her people and no
man did more for the democratic
party in those stirring days. He
came to Butler few years ago from
Walnut township, where every man
10 his friend and he is held in the
highest esteem by members of all
parties. He is broad-minded gen
tleman, with due regard for opin-
ions of others, but firm in his con
victiens at duty's call. He is well
qualified for this important office
and would make Bates county pre-.
siding judge second to none she
ever had.

The name of that sterling demo
cratic worker and clever gentlem an,
John ". Duncan, Of Adrian, graces
our announcement columns, as cam
didate for Recorder. John Duncan
has been known to the democratic
party Of this county since his ma
jority al one of lis most active mem
bers. In 1880 his services were rec
ogniz ed and he was given the nom.
nation for assessor of the county.
He was elected by good majority
at the following election, but unfor-
tunately for him, township organiza
ton was adopted at the same election
and consequently his Office was
abolished. He has never been rec
ompensed for the money he was
compelled to spend as the party
nominee, and has always felt that
sometime the party would recognize
his claims. He served as deputy
under Mr. West in the Recorders
Office, and h. records show he was
one of the most proficient clerks the
Office ever had. He served the peo-
pie Of Adrian as postmaster under
the last dem ocratIc administration,
and those best able to Judge unhesi-
tstingly say that he was the best
postmaster that town ever had. He
is a courteous. clever gentleman,
would make very popular aud eff
ficent officer.
