The two orators came 70 town on

Capt Frank Pitts, formerly State
Treasurer, and DF. Dysart, Of the
State Board Of Health, both residents
here, were among the buss l1zn who

HOW SENATOR CocKRELL had bis
rSyURKD FINGER DRESSED.
Dr.. Dyzrt said that he was glad to
have the Senatorial campaign open in
Paris, for the one reason, II no other,
that it recalled an interesting story OF
a MiSSOurian who is now Senator and
likely to be for some time 70 come.
1T was on Kenesaw Mountains. al
most up in the clouds, a good many
years ago." said Dr. Dysart, that II
vas called upon to dress a shell wound.
The victim was General Francis Mari
on Cockrell. He came to me with his
right hard bloody and seemingly in a
bad war. After the wound had been
cleaned, / found that it was not so
serious The second joint Of the
second finger Of the right hand had
been shot away
See here, General, said /, that
finger viii have TO come OF, 'saidL.
"'No, 1t won't said be. Just fix

WANTED IT FIXED Up 50 IT WOULD
LOOK NATURAL.
But IL will be stiff, said /.
Then let's curve 1t around so as
10 make Ii look natural, he said.
Ills GOODNESS was refreshing. III
trimmed up a spllnt, and there, with
the shells bursting all around us, III
dressed the Generals figure
" That's better, he said, when ii
get out Of this, ] may want to do a
good deal Of writing, and If my finger
stuck out straight it would be in the
way"
II suppose that the thousands Of
persons who have received gracious
personal letters from Senator Cock
rell's own hand viii be glad to know
Of his foresight and my surgery, said
the doctor.
OLD MONROE AS THE BANNER
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY IN STATE.
Frank Pitts had his famous Monroe
county banner at the speaking to-day.
1t is of satin and silk and announces
that old Monroe is the banner Demo
cratic county.
I
There is already a spirited interest
in the Senatorial candidacy. Att
Moberly tomorrow there will be a.
great crowd to hear Mr.. Clark on the
occasion Of his first speech in Ran
dolph county.
There is much discussion in Paris
tonight over the prospects Of Clark
and Stone, all Of the gossip seeming
ly eliminating any Of the other candi-
dates. There is a well-expressed be-
lief that Mr.. Clark will be strong in
the eastern end Of the county, but
that the sentiment around Paris viii
be for the Monroe county Representa-
tive to vote for Mr.. Stone.
Mr.. Clark led somewhat in the APP
plause this afternoon. Mr.. Stones
speech was slightly monotonous as an
entertaining effort, as 1t was careful
ly over old, familiar ground. He and
Mr. Clark met several times and were
exceedingly friendly. About noon
they ran across each other In the
Glenn House. Mr.. Clark had just
bought a box of tablets for his throat.
Here, Governor be called out,
you'd better try some Of these. It
may make it easier for you this after
noon.it
President is Well Guarded.
