1t is announced with a blare of
trumpets by the Hanna organs that
Otis is coming home. Mr.. Mckinley
is reported as saying that he has
earned a rest The Kansas City
Times thinks he should have been
given the rest before he was sent TO
the Philippines. and including the in
tervening time 1t says his time has
been busily employed in collecting
duty on everything in sight and cen
soring dispatches which told truths
rejecting unfavorably upon the prac-
teal workings of Imperialism, in
Withholding credit from deserving
officers and manufacturing military
regulations for favorites, etc. The
least that can be said OF General Otis
is that he has been the willing tool of
the Mckinley administration, bent
upon fastening Imperialism upon this
country.

Another block of ground of three
million acres is to be thrown open to

NOCAUSE FORUNEASINESS.

An unnecessary scare has gone out
over the county about the so called
smallpox in Butler. There are few
cases of a disease which some call
small pox, but which most OF the ply
sicians pronounce new tropical dis
ease, brought to this country by re-
turning troops. 1t is very mild, at
tended with slight fever and a head
ache for few days. When the erup-
tions appear the bad feeling leaves,
and these in turn dry up and disap-
pear in d short time. What cases are
in Butler are closely quarantined.
The same disease is in Rich Hill, Ne
vada. Joplin, Carthage. Clinton, in
fact all the towns and is scattered
through the country to large ex-
tent. There has not been single
death or even a severe sick spell from
this disease in Butler. The strict
quarantine has practically stamped
out the disease, as there has been no
further spread since its Inaugural
ton People can come to town with
perfect safety.

We desire to call special attention
to the announcement of j. $. Pierce
for county treasurer. Polk Pierce,
as he is Familiarity known, came to
Bates county with his father, Uncle
George W. Pierce, from Tennessee, in
1853, and has since lived here except
the years attending the civil war,
when he was in the confederate ser
vice. He has lived on a farm the
greater part of the time, just west of
Butler He has been an honest, in
dustrious. frugal citizen, paying his
honest debts to the cent and no man
can point to q little, mean or dis
honorable act he ever committed.
He came of good old democratic
stock, and has been IL working MEM
Der of the party from his majority,
and never scratched a democratic
ticket. He has served the people in
a number of township and city offices
with fidelity, and to their entire sat
isfaction. He never held county Of
flee. Two years ago he was candi-
date for treasurer against Andy
Owen, one of the most popular men
in the county and made a very credit
able race. He is well qualified to
perform the duties of the office, is
deserving as citizen and a party
if Polk Pierce was nominated for
county treasurer.

The Kentucky republicans hope for

Mrs. Dewey from Philadelphia, says
he expects to have ready in few
days a statement for the press. In
response to inquiries the Admiral
said:

Senator Cockrell of Missouri says
Dewey's candidacy will have ALSO

election and that he does not believe
the gold democrats are behind the
Dewey movement.
at may be, he added. that that
element welcomes Dewey's announce

In my opinion, the Dewey candidacy

vote in the country, is substanceless.

Senator Jones of Arkansas, who is
chairman of the democratic national
committee, said:
II do not wish TO say word un-

anything behind his announcement

Most certainly do not. | do not

the slightest bearing upon the result
of the coming election. 1t will not
lessen our strength by one vote. 1t
