may win, but we are from Missouri
this year, and most of the voters are

The turning down of Orman and
the nomination of Stimson by the
Democrats is about as good a thing
as could have happened, looking at it
from a Republican point of view
With all his faults Orman was a
strong man. The Republicans were
afraid of him. They are not afraid
of Stimson. The people who would
have voted against Orman because of
his bad administration and corrupt
manipulation. will vote against Stim-
son, for the same ring-masters would
be in charge of his administration
At the same time Stimson will not
have by several thousand votes the

1t doesn't matter which element or
faction, or clique of the Republican
party is on top. the opposition say
that Ed. Wolcott owns and controls 1t.
few months ago the charge was
made that those in control of the or
ganization were the creatures of VOL
colt. They were turned down and
utterly eliminated. not even showing
up in the delegations. and the bitter
enemies of that faction took the reins
and organized the committees. Now
the opposition press is as vigorously
charging that Wolcott owns and di-
rects the new regime. How idiotical-
ly, assininely ridiculous is this policy
and course.-Telluride Journal

LEAVES OUT THE TUNNELS.
Route Of Rock Islsnd Road from 81 Louls
lnto Kaaaas City Has Finally
Been oelocted.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 26.-The CHI
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad
has relocated its Kansas City-St.
Louis line between Windsor, NO., and
Kansas City. The new survey, which
has been officially approved, leaves
Warrensburg 10 miles TO the north,
cuts out the three big tunnels which
were on the old line, including the
i,sOO-foot tunnel at Chapel Hill, one OF
700 feet at Devils Hog Back and an
other Of 1000 feet at Blue Cut, near
Independence. The new line takes in
Chilhowee, Holden, Strasburg, Pleas
ant Hill, Lees Summit, Raytown, and
leaving Independence three miles to
the south, enters Kansas City on a
line which parallels the Alton tracks
from the Big Blue river. The survey
has been adopted, and within week
1000 teams and many men will be en-
gagged in the construction OF the
grade. Track-laying will follow the
grading as closely as possible, and the
line will be in active operation before
the worlds fair opens for business.
When this line is completed the Rock
Island will have the shortest line be-
tween Kansas City and St. Louis.

Paris, Nov. 26.-In spite Of the
rigid secrecy which has been main
tanned by the officials and by the
commission Of American doctors con-
corning the result Of the autopsy
conducted by the latter on the body
of Mrs. Ellen Gore, 1t is learned from
an authoritative source that the doc
tors tend individually to the accept
ance Of the theory Of an accident
and the probabilities are that their
official report will strongly incline
to that theory, II it does not posi-
lively assert 1t, thus bringing the
French and American doctors into
agreement and relieving the case Of
any international significance.
