Albert DeReign is the Man

The Scott County Newsboy wants
Albert DeReign to make the race for
the Legislature. Scott county is a
Democratic birds nest. 1t has been
Democratic ever since the Confeder-
ates returned home from the Civil
War. and it is likely to remain Dem
ocratic during the life of the present
generation of its population. This
being the case, it could to some ex-
tent redeem itself by sending to the
Legislature man of brains.
Albert DeReign does not belong to
that illiterate gang of the Democratic
party who allow William J. Bryan
to do their thinking for them. He is
a man of ietters-a man who can
stand up in an assemblage OF men
and make himself heard and respected.
There is no chance for a Republican
in Scott county, and the good people,
the home-loving people, the intelligent
people of that county should back up
against the sturdy oak trees in the
forests, scratch the moss off their
backs and then go to the polls in
November and vote for man who is
able to represent them and be shin
ing light to their intelligence. That
man is Albert DeReign.

This.is the ti.st time in the history of

biliE that defendants In personal tax

watched with interest since the point

lends interest 20 the decicisien is the
fact t2at a motion for costs in tax
cases under the law can in no event
be tared against the state or any city
or colnty or tie collector of the rev
enue. The decision handed down
holds tilat there is mo room for the
suppositlon that in a matter of such
great public importance where prompt
ness in collection is always desirable,
and often imperative, dilatory pro-
ceedings were within the cOntampla

any general provision of the 'eonsti-

To Carry Missouri.

\ special to the Chicago Times
Herald from Walter Wellman says:
To carry Missouri for the Republic
can ticket this year is plan now on
foot among leading supporters of the
President. Missouri is Il, ifih State
in the Union, and has hercsofur,' been
counted politically as part of the
'.solid south" Well-known Repub-
licans, among them Henry c. Payne
of Milwaukee and Richard Kerens Of
st. Louis, believe the State can be
carried for Mckinley in this years
contest, aud they propose to prepare
the way for breaking up the solidity
of the south by nominating for vice
president ex-Lieutent Governor STAN
ard of Missouri. Mr.. Stanard is .
well-known business man, former
president of the st. Louis board OF
trade and a popular. and representa-
tive citizen.
The men who are pushing. this plan
say Missouri could have been carried
for Mckinley on tie money issue in
1896 if a proper effort had been made
AS it was, with the state almost
wholly neglected by the national COM
mittee, the Democrats had majority
of less than go, 900 in total vote Of
nearly 100000. In 1898 the Demo
cratic majority on State Offices was
only 10000.
From Missouri comes the very same
story we hear from every southern or
border State, that the old-line Demo
Gratis are tired of free silver, OF
Bryan, of anti-expansion, and there
is Il probability that, with the negro
question eliminated, several Of these
States could be made Republican.
The negro question is not an import
ant one in Missouri. Besides, that
State has recently had a large influx
of northern citizens, and is becoming
more and more like the States OF
Iowa, Kansas and Illinois, It's imme-
diate neighbors, In political tendency.
The men who propose this mexe-
ment looking to the carrying Of Mis-
souri for the Republican ticket are
thoroughly in earnest, and they have
carefully looked into all the condi-
tions. No one imaginss the vote OF
Missouri will be necessary to the
election of Mckinley, but it is thought
. wise thing to do to break dswn the
wall of the solid south, considered in
political sense, if it be possible to
do so, by wrestling the sreatest OF all
southern States from the Democratic
, column.
; The nomination Of Mr.. Stsrar,, for
vice-president would, it is thought.
contribute to this end. Mr.. PANE
had this nomination in mid aapn .e
recently suggested that the candidate
for vice-president should ,;jme.-f from
the west, and although M... Payne's
own name has been urged in this con-
nection, his friends say he is not a
candidate.

Slot Machines Must Go.

The City Council OF ChillIcothe.
Mo-. has ordered that all slot
machines, both those that pay in trade
and in money, should be suppressed,
and the Marshal has served notice on
machine-owners that they must be
stored away. The Councils action is
the result of the determined crusade
against the machines by church peo-
pie. A hundred of the machines were
doing a hourishing business.

Obituary.

Mrs. Monroe Lemmond passes
away at Bristol, Tenn, February j,
1900, aged 80 years.
That "Death loves shining mark"
was most sadly verified son Monday
last. Its grasping, chilling fingers
had singled out their victim: its cold
and cruel arms awaited to gather the
fragile form in an icy, relentless en-
brace; human power was of no avail
in resisting the dread monster that
snapped asunder the cords of life,
leaving sorrow and desolation liz its
path. Mrs. Grace Lemmond was the
only child of Mrs. NJ. Van Doren,
granddaughter Of DR.. and Mrs. A.
Peironnet, and niece of MIR. Harlan
Peironnet. Mr.. Peironnet accom-
panied Mrs. Van Doren to Bristol,
Tenn, leaving on Tuesday morning s
train.
The joyful intelligence of the arriv-
al of a son in their happy home had
scarcely been received here, when
another message came announcing
the death of the young mother. No
one was prepared for this sad news;
it seemed hard to realize that it mus,
be true. 1t cast a gloom over those
who knew her, and their hearts wen,
out in deap sympathy to the bereaved
family he.'e and to that stricken hus'
band SO far away from home or kim
dred.
Mrs. Lemmond was Cape girl ol
whom our people were justly proud.
She was educated at the Normal
School and was considered a brigh,
and diligent student. She was an
elocutionist of more than ordinary
ability, and her talents we're recog-
nixed, not only at home, but in many
cities of the North and East as we'll.
Ten years ago last December Grace
Van Doren and NJ. NJ. Lemmond were
married. Ten years of unalloyed
happiness--and then!-death's grin
shadow crseps in and casts its gloom
over the wife-and for few hours,
mother-and robs that devoted hus
band of his greatest earthly treasure,
and deprives the tiny infant OF a
mothers warm affection. Grace
Lemmond. 1t seems but yesterday
that you were with US, with your "a
diant, happy nature, shedding sun
light on all things around. It is hard
to feel that your young life is at al
end, that on earth we shall see yor
no more, and to know that that voice
We loved so we'll is forever hushed in
death.
To the grief-stricken ones who arr
left behind, Their only comfort is tie
knowledge that she has gone to thai
Haven of Rest where sorrow is
unknown. In the belief that some
day they will be reunited, there is "a
consolation that will aid in healing
the hearts that are broken. and create
