elected him in 1900. ."-Standard.
If the democrats had elected Bry-
an the Standard would have said
the plain honest people did it, that
they were tired of Hannaism, etc.
This everlastingly slurring of the
voters of the country by demo-
cratic papers claiming that they
were bought, is one reason why
Bryan was defeated. There are
several other good reasons.
The STANDARD" is falling hard.
1t can't take its medicine without
crying about an emperor, repudia-

stilution and Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the country will be
safe while Mac and Teddy hold

they did not have the banner in

say if it was there that some re-

"The entire democratic ticket

close shaves," Right you are,
brother Jacks, for once. In 1902

On the Results.

Party prophets were not in IL as
the results show.
Prior TO the election, according to
the democrats, this county was to
go about 250 or 300 democratic. II
didn't do 1t.
The republicans were hopeful
OF cutting the democratic vote down
enough to elect, at least, three or
iour OF their men. We fell short
Just little but we made good
gains.
The people have decreed that
free silver and imperialism are
shams. The people don't want
shams.
Missouri has gained one demo-
cratic congressman, but wen yen-
ture the assertion that the party
will wish they had not gained him
before they get through with him.
Bryan's own precinct gave 100
majority for Mckinley. If ever
any man had reasons for moving
to Texas, Bryan has.
Bryan's own state went back on
him, and well it might. Nebraska
was paying off her mortgage and
prospecting and did not want a
back-set, such as an endorsement
OF Bryan would have given her.
Ohio stood by Mckinley because
he waA right.
Everybody who voted for VIM.
Mckinley, according to some DEM
ocratic papers, were too ignorant
to know what they were doing or
else they were bought with Mark

Galloway headed posse of old
settlers in n charge on a band OF
Sac and Fox Indians who had
stolen some horses from settlers In
the vicinity of Fort Clamison,
Loutre Island.
They followed the red skins on
their horses until they reached
Prairie Fork, branch of Loutre.
About 2 o'clock on that day, twelve
miles above Prairie Fork, they
came upon the stolen horses Sc
creted in bend Of Loutre, guarded
by only few squaws. These fled
upon the approach OF the settlers
and the latter secured their horses
without further trouble. Not a
single Indian warrior was on the
scene, although the trail proved
conclusively that the party num-
bered from so 100. .
Captain Galloway and his posse
took the horses and started home-
ward. Upon reaching a suitable
place about a mile from the
mouth of Prairie Fork, they stopped
for rest and refreshments. Some
OF the posse tried to persuade the
captain not to return home the
way they had come. fearing the
Indians would anticipate this and
shoot them from ambush as they
crossed the creek. Galloway de-
clared he was no coward and would
return by the same route he had
come. The men reluctantly fol-
lowed, believing it was almost
certain death. Their fears were
we'll founded. As they swan

A few feet away Is another slab
which tells of the birth and death
of Jacob L. Sharp, the first clerk
and recorder of Montgomery coun-
ty, an Official who was allowed to
stay in office from 1921 to 1885.
These graves are in the SOUTH
west corner Of an orchard whic ch
runs up within fuw hundred yards
Of the court house Of old Danvfile
a town Of much importance in tn,
early days of Missouri, when there
were few inland cities of any con-
sequence.
Most of the old settlers have
many years since gone to their
long home, but there are a few
yet living who love to tell of in
teresting events of early days, |
which never found their way into
history.
1t was here that the renowned
Robinson Seminary was located
before the war, which was patron
lied by students from several diff
erent states, who travelled to and
from st. Louis on the old Danville
stage line.
The town was founded in the
year 1884, and the seat of justice
was moved there from Lewiston.
The county was organized in 1918,
the early settlers coming princi-
pally from the states of Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland
and North Carolina. The territory
of the county was decreased in
1920 by the formation of Galloway,
also in 1888 by the formation of
Warren county.
The first court house built in
Danville was brick edifice, and
in those days considered very fine,
but it was never completed and
the records were kept in an adja-
cent building.
Bill Anderson swooped down on
the town in 1864 and killed several
people, and burned almost the en-
tire business portion of the city.
This was blow from which she
never fully recovered, although a
new court house was built which
cost S2S,000.
Then came Montgomery City's
fight for the removal OF the county
seat to that place, which has con-
tinued through all these years.
Z. One of the most serious misfor-
tunes which attended the early
settlement Of the county, was the
defest OF Capt. James Galloway
and posse of early settlers who
attacked band of Indians. who,
in those days, were living among
the hills Of this country near
Loutre. An old slab down this
creek stood for many years with
this inscription;
