The wide-mouthed Rev. DIR. Talmage
is good McHannaite. He deprecates
war inquiries and intimates to the COM
mon herd that it is their place not to
question their rulers. but with blind
faith to submit patiently to those in
authority. He says, among a lot of
other balderdash:
I'VE are all tired of this Investigate
ing business. 1t is costing the Govern
ment of the United States an awful pile
of money, and the only practical result
will be the extinguisnment Of what
glory this giant of a nation won in
thrashing the Spanish pigmy. The in
vestigating committees had better be
disbanded and go into better business
than that of smelling around to see if
they can find a malodor. | never
knew man in church or state to move
for an investigating committee who
was not himself a slice of 'embalmed
beef "
But his heart burns for the expan-
sion of Christianity at the lannon's
mouth, although he insists that the
war with Spain was all wrong, despite
the murder OF those two hundred and
sixty American seamen in Havana
harbor. Hear the Doctor:

admissible. We have the authority of
the Pilgrim Fathers that we are the
saints of the Lord, and the earth is our
inheritance-witha red fence around
it, if such be our taste. How vain,
then, to contend that heathens have
rights which the saints ought to re-
spect! No, no! Burn their towns, loot
their dwellings,, take their pianos,
their clothing, their silken bedding,
their vessels of gold and silver, their
precious stones, ETC., etc. Make them
in their nakedness like unto little
children, that they may pass the more
freely the narrow entrance into the
Christian heaven. Thus prepared for
the final touches, send them mission
aries to preach unto them justice,
mercy, peace, goodwill, and due sub
mission to those in authority. There's
nothing impracticable in the plan: it
has worked to a charm as applied
to the aboriginal heather of this
continent by the God-fearing fathers
and their no less plous descendants,
until to-day the land is blessed
throughout its bounds with Indian
graves, honest money, benevolent
trusts and government by Injunction.

The bill taxing beer has passed both
houses of the Legislature and been
signed by the Governor. 1t provides
that every gallon of beer manufactured
in the State shall pay tax of one cent.
Senator Farris championed the bill,
and it is due to his untiring efforts
that it has become law. It may
seem strange that so just law should
need champion; but the ways of leg
islators are peculiar and sometimes
past finding out. We understand that
when the final vote on the measure
came up in the house, several mem
bers from the Southeast ran off and
secreted themselves; that others had to
be dragged in by gentle force as we'll
as vigorous moral suasion; and that
finally the bill passed by barely
the constitutional majority. This is
shameful, but all the more honor at
taches to the untiring Senator who had
it in charge, and the people will for
get neither him nor them.

days. The remains were Inferred in
the cemetery on H. Rencehausen's
farm. The funeral was largely attend
ed by relatives and friends who sim
cerely mourn their loss.
She was born near Louisville, KY,
March 26, 1881. In the spring of 1912
she, with her parents, brothers and
sisters, came TO Missouri and settled in
iron county.
Here she met G.. H. Westerman and
they were united in marriage, Feb,
1852. Three children were born to
this union-one son who survives her,
the little girls having gone to their
home in Heaven while yet in their in
fancy. Mrs. Westerman has resided
in Iron county 81 years. and was loved
and respected by all who knew her.
She with her husband Joined the
United Baptist Church in 1858, and
was baptized by Rev. Nelson Adams.
| She has lived pure Christian life and
| Gods love will bless the record of
| life we'll spent with eternal joy. Weep
not, dear ones; the Lord giveth and He
taketh away. We know it is hard to
part with one so dear to us, but our loss
| is Gods gain. So toll on in this world
| below; we shall soon all be called to
meet her In that home above where all
is joy and peace and love.
Dearest mother, thou hast left US,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But its God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Then sleep in peace, Dear Mother,
Though our hearts are sad to-day
All tears shall dry when we shall meet
In Gods immortal day. E. A. r.
James L. Cox was born in Virginia,
March Is, 1924, and died in Belleview,
Mo-, March 7, 1899. He came west
when about nine or ten years old and
was thenceforth interested in every
thing that concerned the veal of his
adopted State.
October IA, 1915, he was married to
Caroline M. Edwards, who is still liv-
ing to mourn her great loss. To this
union were born nine. children, two of
whom preceded the father across the
silent river.
The deceased was converted and
joined the NJ. E. Church, South, in
1916, and was an acceptable member
of the same until called to the church
triumphant. For many years he was
an official member in the church filling
especially, the Office of steward, with
zeal that was characteristic of him
in whatever he did. He knew and
loved the doctrines of his own church,
but had a fraternal heart in union and
sympathy with all Gods people and
his latest breath, when conscious, re-
joiced and gave expressions of good
will to men. He died In the midst of
his family, only one of the children,
who came few hours later, being alb
sent. He has seen the King in his
beauty and looked upon the land that
is far off where, l trust, the entire
family may one day be gathered home.
After appropriate services large
crowd of relatives and friends follow

we committed his body to its dream

THERE is considerable talk of At
torney General John NJ. Wood of St.
Louis as a candidate to fill the next
vacancy on the bench of the ST. Louis
Court of Appeals. The NeaOS believes
that no man more worthy than Gen
eral Wood could be selected for such
an exaulted position. He is a sterling
Democrat and was one of the leaders
of the party in its campaign against
coin and corruption in 1896. He is
known over the entire State and wher-
ever known is admired for his ability
no less than he is we'll liked because of
genialty and Democratic ways. Albeit,
he is splendid lawyer, as was dem
onstrated more than once during his
term as the chief local adviser of the
great commonwealth of Missouri, and
as he has since shown in the field of
private practice in St. Louis. where he
has been very successful. He was APP
pointed Circuit Judge in that city by
Gov. Stone and so satisfactorily did he
perform his duties on the bench that
he was unanimously nominated for a
full term by the Democrats and al
though pitted against the strongest
man on the Republican ticket he re-
ceived 5000 more vote than Bryan.
Gen. Wood would fill complete meas
ure of utility as one of the judges of
the second highest court of the State.

We read the above from Lincoln

with the sentiments therein. Ex-At-
torney Woods during his term in office
made friends all over the State, and

itor of the Pierce City Democrat, was
unssinted in his praise and won many
friends for him. II Judge Woods

Here is an extract from one written by
Mr.. f. d. Furman:
1--WE burned hundreds OF houses and
looted hundreds more. Some of the
boys made good hauls OF jewelry and
clothing. Nearly every man has at
least two suits of clothing and our
quarters are furnished in style; fine
