AN INDEPENDENT VIEW.

Vim. Marion Reedy, editor Of the
st. Louis Mirror, any independent
paper, which has not said many kind
things about the Democrats of Mis-
souri,. has the following emphatic
declaration in its last!issue, under the
beading Not This Year"
"Missouri's chances Of going Re

mer. The alliance between Populistic
demagogues, Democratic lobbyist
malcontents and Republican vote

We took occasion last week to call

to task, in long editorial, for dar-

discrepancies in that gentleman e
statements, but admits that We told
nothing but tie truth. The Record
is mistaken in saying that we find
fault with him because of his posses
sions. On the contrary, if we had ouI

J. Davis Orear, the fire eating edi-
tor OF the Arkansaw Thomas Cat,
who was nominated for governor by
the republicans last week, might ap-
propriately open his campaign with
a sword. Orear is one OF the most
picturesque and piquant banderillas
that ever welded pen Omaha
Bee.
J. Davis was born and raised in the
west part OF Bates county and has
relatives still living there. He learn
ed the printers trade in Butler and
early gave promise ola humorous wri.
ter of merit. He started the Thomas
Cat in Butler and moved it to several
towns with varying success and at
last landed in Hot Springs, where
there was demand for that kind Of
literature and has thrived wonderful
ly since. He has been licked innum
cradle times, cut up, shot ndpound

up smiling. He would make hot

We have been conducting demo-

democratic success. The ticket is
not only composed of clean, compe
tent men, but the candidates are wei
distributed over the county. w

TOOK MIDDLE
OF THE STREET
A Young Woman Scares a Man
Near Thomas Square Last
Night.

A young woman who resides on Bere-
tania street beyond Thomas Square
visited some friends on the same street
on the Eva side of the square a few
evenings ago. About o'clock she
started for home, walking leisurely on
the way and without an escort. Thorn
as square was then at the height of its
notoriety as a rendezvous for hold-ups
and other like gentry, and shadows
cast by trees were often mistaken by
passers by for the Skulking figures of
alleged highwaymen. The young lady,
pect of a lonely walk along the Bere
tania street sidewalk of the square.
The heavy foliage of the trees caused
much of the walk to be enveloped in
half way along the block she espied the
figure of a man coming toward the
square from the opposite corner, where
the residence of the Chinese Consul is
located. The man evidently saw the
strange figure coming in his direction,
and being unable to discern what or
who it was, he turned quickly into the
street and walked down the car track.
He kept his head turned toward the
young woman and at times seemed to
hesitate as to whether he should run or
stand still until he had established be-
yond doubt just what course the figure
on the sidewalk intended taking. by
this time the innocent cause of the
mans trepidation, began to feel uneasy
and she also took TO the middle of the
street, keeping her eye riveted on the
man. The latter quickened his steps
as soon as he saw the action of the
young woman, and fastened on almost
at dog-trot toward town. After pass
ing the square the young lady went
back to the sidewalk and braved the
shadows for the rest of the way home.
