No mistake will be made by
the people cf Missouri in elect
ing Senator W. S. McClintic to
be Lieutenant Governor of our
grand Missouri. He is qualified
to fill any Office within the gift
of the people. He is a man of
honor, integrity and ability and
is faithful in the discharge of
his duties as a public officer.
He is heartily in sympathy with
the interests of the common
people of whom he is one. His
experience in public life has
made him acquainted with all
schemes put forth by the ene-
mics of humanity and he is thus
better fitted to look after the
interests of the people. North
east Missouri should press the
claims of Hon. w S. McClintit
for Lieutenat Governor and
when he has been elected and
served his full term in that i'm
portant position he will have
made record of which all Mis-
sourians will be proud.

REPUBLICANS AT K. c.

The Missouri Republican S tate
Convention was in full swing in
Kansas City yesterday but the
returns were too late for publ
cation. The ouly sure thing at
press time was Bittinger, War
ner and Kerens had withdrawn
from the delegate at large race.
That left six candidates in the
field, Messrs Hauser, MINIS,
Burton, Dyer, Hadley and
Frank. The platform as draft
ed will be a re-hash of the last
one with a chunk of imperialis
etc. thrown in for good measure
and to round it out nicely there
will be a glowing tribute to Nc
Kinley and everything pertain
ing to the present administra-
tion.

tropics, of any color, One born

alleges, injuries from which he will never

says, was defective, and the motorman

They Can Eject Shirt Waist Men
From Cars if They Like.

During the excitement over the mascu-
line shirt waist fad. w. ]. Held. Of
Minneapolis, manager of the Twin City

Ira Bowen, a conductor on the Minneap-
oils division, the following letter:
Mr.. W. j. Held, General Man
ager-Dear Sir: man got on
my car with one of these new shirt
waists on. He was minus a coat and
vest. and when he sat down by a LADY,
she jumped UP madden than q hornet
She wanted me to make the man get
off the car. but as he was behaving him
tor to do in such a case?
This letter was submitted to the COM
pany's legal department and a learned
opinion, covering many closely typewrit-
ten pages, has been transmitted to Man
ager HELD The opinion stripped of its
legal verbiage, is a unique one in it's way
1t begins by quoting 1.-The Rights of
Man." comes down through the years
with Darwin's Origin of Species" and
winds up with bicycle clothes and short
skirts. The nub of it, however, makes
the conductor the monarch of all shirt
waists he surveys. In fact the condIc-
tor is left entirely to his own discretion.
If a man boards a car attired in a shirt
waist, and that shirt waist is not Often
sive, he can ride, after complying with
the usual foImality made and provided
in such cases.
Conductors are therefore the supreme
arbiters as to the presentability of gen.
tlemen in shirt waists, and next year
when the craze gets general some inter-
esting rulings may be expected.

mentioned In connection with the disap-
pearance of the Late Albert Rudt. and
Miss Clara Rebeschke limited quite strong
ly that she might know some thing about
the matter To these insinuations Mrs
Beaudet replies quite vigorously and In
part es follows:
THAT girls insinuations arc prepCs-
terous. Mr.. Rudt had no more sincere
well wisher than myself. Her accusation
is inspired by jealousy.
II lived over Mr.. Bernier's store where
Rudt worked, and for several years the
young man boarded with me. He told
me many times that he loved me and
wanted me to marry him. This was
while he was going with the other girl
He said he would quit her if 1 would
tell him to.
There was every reason for my refus-
ing Rudt. He was considerably younger
than L; Protestant, Willie | am a Cath
Ole, and, furthermore, l had no feeling
beyond friendship for him. ] told him
this many times, and he said he would
leave my house because he could not
stand being with me under the cfreum-
stances.
81 needed the money he was paying me,
and thinking Miss Rebeschke, through
jealousy, was urging him to leave, I did
visit her where she worked. 1 told her
Rudt had asked me to marry. him, and
simply warned her that he might not
| have honorable intentions toward her.
did not tell her she should never marry
Rudt. 50
She was the last one to see Mr. Rldt
awe, and / have as much ground to ac-
cuse her of knowing some thing of his
death as she has to insinuate That | was
