FANORS THE PROPOSITION.

Mr. Scully, the Largest Tax Payer in
the County, Advises his Agent 10
Work For it---Delay in Dan
gerOus aud Records Must
be Preserved.
LINCOLN, ILL. MARCH 3, 1900.
FRANK II. CRowELL. ESQ,
BUTLER, Mo.
DEAR SIR:-Your letter as to the
proposition for building a new court
house for Bates county has been
carefully considered.
AS general principle, Mr. Scullv is
opposed to extravaganza i'll public
buildings, and especially when the
object is merely TO replace an ample
old building with All architecturally
striking new one. But in Bates
county as we understand, the case is
radically different. You substan-
italy have no court house as long as
the present one is condemned as un-
safe. In county as large as Bates.
a court house is necessity. and
sooner or later it must be built.
Delay i'll such a case is dangerous, in
that it leaves records, which cannot
be replaced, exposed to destruction
or damage, which may effect not only
the public of the comfy. but individ-
uals, whose titles or rights depend
upon the records of the county.
AS it is proposed to build the court
by direct levy of three years taxes,
and not by the creation of bonded
debt, it seems to us that the citizens
and farmers of Bates county should
look upon it as the best way of meet
ing an expense which is necessary
and really inevitable. Our judgment
is that it would be false economy to
put off incurring an outlay which
must he met, and which delay may
not only increase, but add irrepara-
BILE individual loss.
These reasons induce us to recon-
mend that you give the proposition
your hearty support. Yours truly,
noEHNLE & TRAP,
Financial Agts for VIM. Scully.

THEY AGREE ON A PLAN.
Fusion of Silver Parties in
Kansas Practically Assured.
DIVISION OF THE OFFICES
Committees Have Mapped Out What
Each Branch Shall Get.

Topeka, Kan, March At took
the democratic, populist and free
silver republican state committee un-
It'll 2 O'Clock this morning to agree
upon an equitable basis for this
years fusion. The conference COM
mIttee's S report was not at once ac-
cepted by the populist and it was
only after repeated consultations
that the opposition agreed to suspend
luther resistance. For an hour or
two preceding the populist acquies-
cence it appeared doubtful whether
an agreement would be reached. At
& last the populists yielded and har-
mOny was restored.
The sum total of the conference
may be summed up as follows:
The populist, democratic and free
silver republican state conventions
viii be held on the same date and at
the same place, at Fort Scott, July
"a.
The democrats called their early
convention, to choose delegates to
the Kansas City convention, for
Wichita, May 23.
Ihe popullst set their Clay Center
convention, to elect delegates to the
SIOUX Falls convention, for April 25.
The democrats are allowed these
oif1css: Associate justice, secretary
OF state, treasurer, one Judge of the
court OF visitation, solicitor of the
eout of visitation.
The populist are to have: Cover
nor, lieutenant governor, attorney
general, state auditor. congressman
arlarge, superintendent of public in
tructlon and one Judge of the court
OF visitation.
The silver republicans are to have
insurance superintendent and one
Judge of the court of visitation.
The settlement of these details
completed the work of the state com
nIttees and they adjourned sine die.

TURNS ALL FROM EVIL.
Evangelist Making Wonderful Record
at Springfield.
MAKES PREACHERS OF LAWYERS.
Even Politicians Reached--Ninety
Normal Students Convert
ed in One Forenoon.

Springfield, Mo, March AT a
meeting held by Major Cole at the
Springfield normal school this morn
ing ninety students made a public
profession of religion. 1t was the
most wonderful religious event, per-
haps, ever kown in the history Ofthis
city.
The revival has been in progress
over two months, and the Conversions
number nearly 1000. Major Cole is
now making preachers of lawyers,
doctors. merchants and common
lab orers. This morning Perry t.
Allen, one of the young lawyer con-
verts, conducted the meeting at the
Robertson Avenue Baptist church.
William Sneider, leading clothing
merchant of the city, led the men S
meeting at the court house this after
noon.
Probate Judge Joseph A. Fink, the
first of the county officials converted
will go to Monett tomorrow TO hold
meetings there Saturday and Sunday.
Special meetings for lawyers, doctors
merchants and other classes OF men
are held from day to day atthe court
house The police court is now al
most a needless institution in Spring
field, as there practically has been
no criminal docket for several weeks.
Judge Conlon, the city recorder,
says that the revival has given him
the largest vacation he ever had,
and the police force has scarcely
anything to do day or night Some
of the saloon men say they will have
to leave town if Maj. Cole don't stop
the meetings. The Christian people
are praying that the revival may
continue till the Fourth of July.
