Ii there was one extenuating cir
cumstance in the killing of old man
Borcherding, then young McGinnis
might be pittied. But this molten
sive old German was murdered in
cold blood, shot in the back in his
own home, by a robber and assassin
while attempting to escape McGin-
mis- was defended by able and skillful
lawyers. who saw that every legal
right was guarded. Twelve of as
good. honest, fair and intelligent cit
liens as Bates county possesses, af-
ter hearing all the evidence and lis
tening to the arguments and weigh
ing them carefully, declared by their
verdict that McGinuis was the MUIR

clared that there We're no errors com

one power between theccnvicted and
the scaffold. The governor should,
and we believe will let the law take
its course. McGinnis should make
his peace with his God.

Bates County Teachers.

Are You going to attend the com
ing session of the Southwest Missouri
Teachers association. which meets
at Nevada Thanksgiving Day. and
the two days following.
\ teachers standing today il
measured very largely by the inter.
est he takes in educational questions
OF the day and there are many things
that ha can DO which show that he j.
really interested i'm eIeratin- the
standing OF teaching.
We know that many teachers are
paid very low wages for teslching.
but We ask ii such salary Is not. in Il
great many instances. commensurate
with the standing of the teacher.
Teachers tell us that they cannot
afford to spend money attending ed
ucatiOnal meetings. for their salary
is so small. We ask how do tEev
ever expect to have this small salary
made larger, and we think. we hear
the answer: Improve your stand
ing as teacher" Teachers who
never attend county institute ONLY
when they want a certificate: a dis
trict teachers meeting. or any form
of the state associations cannot be
expected to hold very high rank
in he teaching world
We would urge that YOU lend en-
enlargement to such meetings bv at
tending more and see if it will not be
profitable investment for you. The
railroads running through Nevada.
and the best hotel in that city are
giving very low rates to those at
tending the southwest association.
Butler teachers will leave for Ne
ing morning. VIII you not Join US
aud receive the benefits which come
to those interested in elevating the
standard of teaching?
We need teachers of inspiration.
The best place to get inspiration is
at the association There is no such
thing as good teaching unless the
teacher is inspired for the work. an
enthusiastic teacher can make an in
teresting. enthusiastic school:
teacher who drags in the profession
will have ii dragging school. II
takes mercy, push and skill TO make
a SchOCi a success and YOU can re-
ceive portion OF these during the
Thanksgiving meeting.

The Adrian Journal lays the blame
for the defeat of the court house
proposition to the citizens of Butler,
pointing out that 200 of her voters
saiied to vote on that proposition.
This is unquestionably true, but it
was clearly an oversight on the part
of the voters and the same thing,
would probably occur at any general
election. We are not in favor OF
special elections when they can be
avoided, but we believe it would be
criminal negligence for ourcourt and
the people of this county to leave
our valuable records exposed to
danger for the next two wears with
out an effort to protect them. We
sre opposed to undue haste in this
MATTER, but we believe that the court
house proposition should be result
mitted at the spring school and
township elections.

sent "A messenger in haste to learn
the cause.
The portrait of the martyred pres

| The following telegram appeared
in the Globe Democrat a few days
ago:
! Hot Springs, Ark, Nov. 10
! Hon. Joseph Flory, the gentleman
who came so nearly placing the state
OF Missouri in the republican column,
and incidentally securing for himself
! the gubernatorial office, is in the city
in a special car He is accompanied
by his wife and family and Mr.. and
Mrs. Upgrew. Mr. Flory in his race
showed great strength, and his
friends claim that but for the fact
that the Nesbit law aided the powers
opposing the city OF st. Louis he
would have received the plum. The
party will remain here several days,
after which they will travel about
through the south.
This appears a little inconsistent
for man who a few weeks ago was
posing as the working man friend
aud was SO opposed to the corrupt
railroad corporations that he ad-
vertised his canvass would be made
on a tricycle., to be now accepting
the Use OF special Pullman cars with
all their attendant Injuries, visiting
health resorts and enjoying pleasure
excursions through the sunny south
with cOngenial companions. 1t is
"a SSerted that whiLe serving the state
as railroad commissioner, he could.
On a few hours notice, have a special
EAR for his individual Use on the side
tracks at Jefferson City. No one OBJ
ects to the railroads making spe-
:ial pet of Col. Flory, or ofhis accept
ug their favOrs, from now on as a
private citizen. but he should be Sc
rerely censured for accepting similar
avors while drawing his salary from
he people in an office designed to !
'egulate those very corporations.

Record from Canton. o.. says:
Information was made public last
night that another plot had been dis
covered to assassinate President Nc
Kinley.
Detectives connected with the safe
guarding Of the president say that
there are three men either here or on
their way to kill the president. Extra
policemen have been detailed to en-
force an order issued by Mayor Robert
son, ex-officio chief OF police. which
notifies all policemen to keep close
watch on all strangers in the city and
to be particular to watch for two Ital-
ians who will probably be accompanied
by ar old man.
Mayor Robertson in speaking Of the
matter said:
The word first came to the secret
service department at Chicago. An
anonymous letter was received by the
United States secret service authorities
there stating that three men for whose
apprehension we were on the lookout
were expected to arrive in Canton dur
ing the day. Thus far they have not
come. but we are keeping a close watch

Hong Kong. A letter addressed by
sandlco to Lieutsnant-C Colonel Casimiro
Tisino says In part:
The political campaign and some
other circumstances have created in
America political situation that may
uerhaps produce the downfall OF Me-
Klnley. which win signify the triumph
at our ideals. For the same reason the
disastrous war with the Transvaal and.
more especially. the fierce revolution in
China have created political atmos-
phere sufficiently critical to cause the
birth Of a disturbance Of the armed
peace OF the great powers that may
result favorably to our aspirations; be-
cause America may prefer to sacrifice
some Of her plans with respect to the
Philippines granting our Independence
under protectorate rather than sus-
tain two wars and run the risk OF los
ing the whole archipelago, l believe.
then, under the conditions so favorably
colored by the present circumstances.
it is necessary that we continue the
struggle and only accept peace on a
basis OF Independence although under
an American protectorate.
IF reelection OF Mckinley be accom-
plished and the revolution in China
be wiped out and the war in the Trans
vaal take on no new complications.
then I win be the first TO accept the
reace that believe to be necessary.
though It be at the cost Of acknowledge
INK the sovereignty Of the United
States. since consider that our forces
are now impotent to defend our sacred
and legitimate rights"

ercise great influence on "the very inn

people" He concludes:
This impression is and will be one
Of the determining causes Of our tri-
umph. which triumph win come soon
If we but resist little more now that
