placed Missouri in the position of
leader in a movement that has re-
csived the recognition and support OF
many millions OF American citizens,
and bids fair to land William j.
BRYAN in the white house in March.
1901. Gov. Stephens is proud of the
fact. also. that from first to last he
has been an unfaltering supporter OF
Mr.. Bryan. One instance of his de-
vOtiOn to the democratic champion
is recalled When Mr.. Bryan, at the
very outbreak of the Spanish Ameri
can war, offered his services as a sol
der to President Mckinley, and his
proffer was not acted upon, Cover
nor Stephens promptly rendered him
the command of a Missouri regiment.
Certainly no more graceful. sincere or
action has ever been
taken by the governor.
Therefore, summing up the brilliant
career OF SO young a man as Mis-
sOuri's governor. tits matter OF
congratulation that his party in his
home county and elsewhere in the
state should feel that he is entitled
to still further reward for his unf1inch-
ing fidelity and fearless leadership.

Chinn. the turfman and politician,
and who was with democratic Gov
ernor William Goebel when he was
shot, has filed suit for libel against
Mrs. Kate NJ Banta. wife of a mer-
chant OF this city
The first paragraph charges that
the defendant, in the presence of va
rious people. declared that she saw
Chinn shoot Goebel from behind"
and that by this libelous declaration
he has been damaged in the sum of
$500
The second count says that the de-
fendant, Kate NJ Banta. at numerous
other times and places in Frankfort,
spoke and published these following
false, slanderous and malicious words,
OF and concerning the plaintiff:
He, Jack Chinn, shot and killed
Goebel." That said words were
spoken falsely and maliciously, and
for the avowed purpose of charging
the plaintiff with having fired the
shot that caused William Goebels

board OF supervisors reveals an APP

vile neighborhood, in the southern
part OF the county.
The community is literally honey
combed with smallpox OF the most
virulent and loathsome form and du-
ring the past six weeks nearly 100
deaths have occurred.
On some days the death rate
has been so large that it was impos-

families have been wiped out of ex-

Many of the patients who are now in
critical condition are without med

OF from three to five per day. The
death rate exceeds 10 per cent and
the entire lower portion of the county
is demoralized.
The board of supervisors will make
an effort to check further spread, and |

convention, held in Boonville Mon.

of selecting delegates to the congress
sional convention of the eighth dis
trict, a resolution was read and
unanimously adopted, recommend
ing that Gov. Lon V. Stephens be
sent as a delegate-at-large to the
democratic national eonvention. The
compliment was graceful and ap-
preciated enc and will do as much as
anything else to utterly obliterate
factional feeling and conduct in this
county in the present and future cam
paigns.
The Advertiser is authorized to
state that Gov Stephens has made
no efforts whatever to be selected as
a delegate-at-large, being content to
keep hands off and leave the matter
wholly to the people of Missouri He
would doubtless feel proud ofso great
an honor, but if it should be conferred
upon him he desires that it be con-
ferred freely and unsolicited. The
governor also feels that he has
had an abundance of honors
and offices bestowed upon him.
Though barely beyond forty-one
years OF age. he has for many wears
past been a potent factor in local.
state and national affairs. For three
years he was the financial agent of
several Central Missouri counties.

THIS YOUTH MUST DIE.
Seventeen Year Old Murderer Sentenced
10 Be Hanged

Bridgeport, Conn, March THE
youngest murderer ever sentenced II
Connecticut to forfeit his life on the
gallows is Charles b. Cross OF Siam
ford, who was found guilty tonight
OF murder in the first degree by a
jury in the Superior court.
Cross is just II years OF age, slight
OF build and more boyish i'll appear
ance than his age indicates. When
the verdict was pronounced the boy
turned pale, trembled and sank into
q chair, his head buried in his hands,
while violent aobs burst from his
lips. Judge A r ROraback sentenc-
ed him to be hanged at the state
prison on July 20 next.
While sentence was being pro-
nounced theconvicted murderer stood
supported by the arm OF Sheriff Haw-
ley, and when asked if he had any
thing to say. his voice failed him. A
faint NO, sir, scarcely reached the
court s ear.
Judge Roarback departed from the
stereotyped form to remark that the
court fully concurred i'll and approx
ed the verdict. The members hest
tating to return a first degree verdict
because of the accused's extreme
youth.
Cross was convicted of assaulting
and killing Mrs. Sarah King, for
whom he did chores. on Nov. last.

mystery, he spreading the report that
burglars had committed the murder.

10000 WOrkmen Are Idle

Chicago, ILL.,, March 1.-Building
material firms which supply the Chi
cago market voted to-day to close
their plants until conditions in the
building industry of the city have
changed for the better The reason
given for this move was that because
of the paralysis in building opera
tons, brought on by labor troubles,
they have been conducting their bus
mess at a loss since last October. By
the closing 10000 men employed in
the stone quarries. brick yards and
the plants where lime, cement, rubble
stone, coping, crushed stone and
other materials are handled are
made idle. Added to the 30. 600 idle

enjoyable performance WAS Witnessed.
The company is growing in popular
