Bold Attempt at Robbery.

Three unknown fellows went to
the farm of J. e. Smith, four miles
southwest of this city, and pretended
they wanted to buy Mr. Smith farm.
After some discussion pack Ofcards
was turned out and Mr.. Smith was
induced to bet 81 900, that he could
turn certain card, which he did and
won. They then asked him il he was
in good faith, and if he had lost could
he have paid the wager. Mr.. Smith
told them that he could, and he was
asked to produce the 81 900.
Mr.. Smith came here in the after
noon and was about to procure the
sum of the First National Bank,
when President Coodrum asked what
he was going to do with it. On be-
ing told the story he advised Mr..
Smith that something was wrong.
A warrant was issued for the arrest
of the men, but Marshall Evilsizer,
after following them to Liberal,
found they had left there, and not one
of them has since been found.
Evidently their object was to rob
Mr.. Smith of the money as soon as he
came away from town.-Lamar
Leader
A similar trick was attempted on
prominent farmer residing east
of Butler one day last week, (proba-
bly, by the same sharpers,) and in the
same manner as in the above case
the farmer was saved from being rob
bed of his money by his banker,
Cashier Jenkins of the Missouri State
Bank, 1t is a pity these rascals
could not be caught and given years
in the penitentiary.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Bates County Democrat is very much
mistaken, if it is laboring under the
impression that in suppressing any
criticism OF our public or official acts
it Is conferring favor upon us. On
the contrary we court lust criticism

Ing explanations or defending our
course when uniustly assailed The
article in the Pennington Times was
finding fault with the commission of
State Hospital for Insane No. t for
its apparent slowness in getting the
work of new buildings under way.
That paper readily published the
architects explanation, which was
apparently satisfactory to all con
cerned, and the incident closed. We
trust that our little pleasantly last

OUT OF SYMPATHY
WITH HIS PARTY.

President Roosevelt has thrown &
bomb shell into the camp OF the re
DnbIicau bosses from which they vii
besIow in recovering Platt and 9th
ers thought they saw trouble ahead
from that source and side-tracked
him, as they supposed. in the vice
presidential office, but fate has inter
yened to put him to the front, and
hepromises to be worse than thorn
in their sides. The followingedict Civ
en- out on the authority OF a repu-
table and influential republican sena-
tor. shows him to be far above the
other republican leaders in patriot
ism and craftsmanship:
Il am going to select the very best
men for public positions. Men ap-
pointed to high public places must
be high in morals and many other re-
spects. Ii the American people care
to show their approval of my course
during the three and one half years
that | have to serve by placing me
at the head OF the Republican ticket
in 1904, should feel deeply grateful.
1t would be an honor that it would
be difficult far any man to decline.
But if | have to pander to any
cliques, combinations or movements
for their approval, | would not give
q snap of my finger for it or a nomi-
nation for it, under such circum-
stances. My Endorsement must come
from the people OF the country

but admire the admira BILE courage
displayed by President Roosevelt,
and wish him success in the great
fight which is sure to be waged against
him in his own party. 1t will require
all his courage and fortitude to with
stand the horde of hungry pie hunt
ers who will swoop down upon him
like pack OF hungry wolves. The
machine politicians will consider him
little less than traitor and will not
hesitate at any measure to over
throw his will and retain the patron
age with which they have so long
corrupted the rank and file of their
party. We await the outcome with
great interest. If President RoOse-
welt can withstand the pressure sure
to be brought, and carry out his
high ideals as limited at in the above
brief interview, his administration
will be the most turbulent since Presi-
dent Johnson S, but his name will
shine in history along with this coun-
try's greatest men If he should sur
render TO the party bosses. he will
prove but Il mediocre president, a
mere figure head.
