BIT Il Is Likely to Be Postponed Til
Nay or June


case Of Alexander Jester, In jail here
awaiting trial for the murder Of Gu
bert Gates Ia Monroe 90. twenty nine
years ago, has been Get for trial on
march IS. Jester has been In jail
here for the pass ak months, having
been brought here from Monroe Co.
Immediately after the change Of
venue vas granted.
According to good authority, bis
case vii be reset for May or June BY
Judge David Il. Kby, before whom
Jester win be tried.
Jester is 10 better health nov than
be has been for some time. He has
gained rapidly In fesh. According TO
bis statement, be celebrated bis
eighty-nrst birthday moi long since.
Soon after the adjournment Of the
Democrats State Central Committee
the Republican papers pretty gener-
ally, in summarizing the work done,
endeavored to make il appear that
the administration Of Gov. Stephens
was diseredited by il and that the
Governor himself lost out on every
point, etc, etc. Let'ssee. Six months
ago il appeared as IL the next nominal
tions for State officers in Missouri
would be made At a general primary
election. Some OF the brainiest and
most active Democrats in the State
had advocated this plan, while many
others remained silent. The papers
at fret generally supported it, About
this time Governor Stephens, always
frank and outspoken, at the request
of the editor Of the LAGRANGE Indi-
Gator, gave his We've in a short note,
In which be placed himself most
positively against the State primary.
At that time it was thought 'poIitical
suicide" on the part OF the Governor
to take this course. He was referred
to for many weeks as being about the
only Democrat in the State opposed
to the primary who was afraid s'to
trust the people" Later, he gave out
authorized interviews, embodying
fifty reasons for his opposition TO this
proposed innovation. They we're
published very largely In almost every
Democratic paper In the State and
were found sound and unanswerable.
Within q short while sentiment rap
idly changed. At the meeting OF the
committee the resolution proposing
the selection Of the ticket by q prima-
~ was defeated by a vote OF % to 4.
Gov. Stephens did not go before the
and made no suggestions
as to the dates of the various conven-
lions. He suggested TO q few OF his
friends on the committee, however,
that II he was TO be presented as g
candidate for delegate-at-large, he
would be pleased to have the conven-
ton selecting national delegates held
at the Capital. His wishes were re-
spected and this convention was
given to Jefferson City. At the com
mittee meeting q resolution strongly
endorsing Governor Stephens adj
ministration was offered BY Hon. A.
B. Duncan, of St. Joseph, and unani-
mOusly adopted. 30 1t does not ap-
pear after all, upon investigation,
''that Governor Stephens admins
tration was discredited by the COM
mittee, or that the Governor
himself lost out on every point.n
A very large majority of the commit
tee are strong personal and political
friends Of the Goyernor. The oppo-
sition to him, II there is any, sinks
into insignifcance upon analysis.

store there for q doctor to come and
see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at cnce on
his return. he also bought q bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some re-
lief until the doctor should arrive. In
a few hours he returned, saying the
doctor need not come, as the child was
much better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto
Scholz, says the family has sincs
recon mended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and friendl
until he has q constant demand for it

Big Revival at the Peoples Church, L and
9th Streets, Northwest.

The revival now in progress at the
above named church conducted by
Rev. James Wharton the we'll known
English evangelist who has been labor
ing for the last "a years In our southern
churches is nightly increasing in in
terest. Every night since the com
mencement number of mourners are
to be found, many of whom have al.
ready professed faith In Christ and are
rejoicing in their new found change of
heart While the addresses are of the
most solemn and subduing character
and delivered to an attentive audience
making deep impression on the un.
regenerste, yet the services are of an
especial lively nature which makes ali
feel that the time allotted for the SER
vice is but too short wherein to work
for those we are interested in. The
church with its pastor, officers and
members is receiving fresh baptism of
the Spirit for which they have long
prayed and for which We are all hesrti7
ly thankful to our Heavenly Father.
