The result of the last campaign in this
county demonstrated the fact that an early
nominating convention is
AN EARLY much preferable to a late
CONVENTION. convention. When the
ticket is put in the field early the nominees
have the time to see practic ally every voter
in the county by attending the picnics and
other gatherings during the summer. That
Il part or all of the Republican ticket will he
elected in Montgomery county this year is
now admitted by many Democrats and is
conidentially believed by the Republicans.
The active Republicans of the county who
desire to make the race for an office this
year should at once notify the officers OF the
County Committee so that the claims OF
all may he properly presented at the noml-
mating convention. An effort is going tn
he made to get men to take the nomination
this year, who will get out and work 20 he
elected and if this kind of n ticket is nomi'
mated the entire ticket will he elected
Another reason why an early conven'
ton should be held is this The new County
Committee which will manage the campaign
this wear will he selected at the same time
the ticket is put in the field. This commit
tee should he organized early so rs to have
the situation in the county well in hand whel
the campaign fairly warns up.

From the Moberly Mo Headlight,
L. o. Brown is said TO be the name of the

The people of st. Louis are complain
ing bitterly of the poor street car service
given them by Transit Company and they
certainly have just cause to complain. The
Transit Company was given II monopoly
on the st. Louis street car business by the
Missouri Legislature and it is now indefend-
ant. 1t has taken off II large number of
cars and as a result the people of Missouri's
greatest city suffer. This is not the only
infany that has been heaped upon st. Louis
by an unsophisticatcd legislature ut the be-
hest of the Seibert ringsters. The police
law is equally as oppressive and villainous.
The Nesbit law is worse. If the courageous
men of St. Louis do not rise up in their
might ut the next election and see to it that
their sentiments are registered at the polls at
all hazards it will be Il surprise to the state.

Berlin, April 7-Prince and Prjn-
cess Henry who are visiting the
grand duke of Hesse, have been doing
good deal of bicycle riding in the
enyirons of Darmstadt, the capital of
the duchy
While out bicycling, last Friday

berg road the prince, the princess
and their host left the muddy wagon
way for a footpath where the bicy-
cling was easier Riding ON this foot
way is forbidden by the police regu'
lations. They had proceeded but a
short way when a policeman Jumped
out from hedge and shouted:
Halt" 'Dismount."
The royal party obeyed his com
mand, and the grand duke was sharp
ly questioned by the policeman, whe
held bulky notebook in his hand
The duke, who is the reigning sover'
eign of the duchy, replied that he
was the grand duke of llesse, anc
named his companions as Prince and
Princess Henry Of Prussia, The po
liceman calmly requested details o.

members of the party had answered
him satisfactorily he permitted then

London, April S.-The fact that w
T. Stead's name was not among the
executors of Cecil Rhodes will has
given rise to some comment, Tor "
was generally understood that he was
mated 10 carry +; '05diit Sd Nil Rh6tfefs Hasla'

prehension, b. \. Hawksley, who was
counsel for Mr.. Rhodes. declares, IN
an omen letter, that the removal OF
Mr.. Stead's name was not in any way
due to differences on the subject OF
the South African war, but are from
other quite appreciated by Mr.
Stead. and which did honor alike to
both men. "In the far-back days,
writes Mr.. Hawksley, when Mr.
Stead expounded the common inter
ests of the English-speaking peoples
his acquaintance was sought by ME-
Rhodes. The acquaintanceship rip
ened into close intimacy and contln-
ued 10 the last. Mr.. Rhodes recog-
nized in Mr.. Stead one who thought
as he did and who had the marvellous
Gift of enabling him to elothe with
literary charm the ideas they both
held dear. As Mr.. Rhodes frequently
said to me and others, including Mr.
Stead himself, the friendship OF the
two men was too strong to be brok-
en- by passing differences about the
South African war"

to inquiries as to the condition OF

To say some families have one scanf
meal a day is expressing it mildly;
while I can not state positively that
any people have actually died OF

and all the residents here will bear
me out, that many have died that

" saved if nourishment had been at

places the children have that palma

A BULLET N HIS TEMPLE.
Suicide Of James Whitfield, Presi-
dent of the Western Base
ball League.
4 VICTIM OF HARD WORK AND WORRY
He Wa. sporting Editor of the KAN
sas City Star, and That With His
Baseball Interests and Financial
Reverses Overtaxed and unbai-
anced His Mind.

Kansas City, Mo, April s.-James
Whitfield, president of the Western
Baseball league, and for many years
sporting editor of the Kansas City
Star, committed suicide at his home
here early Monday morning.
Mr.. Whitfield was well known in
sporting circles throughout the west.
For the last ten years he has been in
charge OF the sporting department oi
the Star, and in that capacity has al
ways kept in touch with the politics
of the national game. He was active
ly engaged in baseball as early as the
eighties. He was one Of the organlz'
ers of the original Western league
and was its first president. In 1885,
his presence at the National league
meetings in Chicago and New forA
and his pleas for Kansas City on
those occasions won for him its first
and only franchise in the big league.
Mr.. Whitfield was made secretary
of the club. The tornado in May OF
that year spoiled the teams chances
of making money, by destroying the
grandstand and flooding the diamond
In 1883 Mr.. Whitefield again
acted as Kansas City's rep,
resentative, this time at Ameri'
can associations meetings in
Cincinnati and New York, and he was
again successful in securing what he
went after. franchise for Kansas
CITY. That was the last active ap-
pearance in the baseball field until
he was elected president of the pres
ent Western league, at st. Joseph
last winter.
The work of organizing the new
league proved very great and since he
decided to head the league that is
fighting the American association
Mr.. Whitfield had toiled night ant
day. Recently the tax upon him be
gan to tell, and for the past two
weeks he has been under physician
care. On March 2s he returned from
his last trip in behalf Of the league
from Peoria, and was compelled Il
take to his bed.

LATEST FROM PHILIPPINES.
Trial of Mai. WRlIer-OfiiCInI Report
of Lieut.. Strcbler-On n Tour
OF Inspection.

Manila, April 7.-Gen. Jacob II.
Smith, commanding the American
forces in the Island of Samar, was
the only witness to-day at the trial
by court-martial Of Maj Waller, of
the Marine corps.
Gen Smith denied that he ever gave
Maj Waller power of life and death
and exceeding general order No, 100.
He said he received the first news of
the killings at Bazey, where Maj Wal
Ter and Lieut.. Day, Of the Marine
corps, are charged with having killed
three natives, from Gen. Chalfee. Gen.
Smith explained that his order to
Maj. Waller about not being burdened
with prisoners meant to disarm and
release those prisoners who were not
charged with serious offenses. He
said he had not understood the mean
ing of Maj. Waller's telegram about
depending II prisoners"
The official report of Lieut.. Strebler,
Of the Philippine scouts, on the cap
ture of the insurgent general Lultban
has been published, and is Endorsed
by Gen. Smith, who considers the re-
port concise and graphic.
SIT is impossible for anyone not ac-
quanted with the Island of Samar,"
says Gen. Smith, 'to realize the diff
culties and hardships of the eXpedi-
tion, Strebler's command is entitled
to the highest praise for one of the
most important captures ever made
in the Philippines" Gen. Smith
strongly recommends that StrebleI
be given a commission as frst lieu
tenant in the regulars, and that Sergt
Lora be made second lieutenant OF
the native scouts. These recon-
mendations have been indorsed BY
Gen Wade and approved by Gen. Chat
fee.
Gen. Chaifec thinks, however, that
congressional action may be required
in order to obtain the desired com
mission for Second-Lieut. Stroller. El
has already given Sergt. Lora com
mission as second lieutenant in thu
scouts,
Generals Chaffee and Sanger lef
here yesterday on board the Unitet
States gunboat Princeton on tou
Of inspection to the Samboanga dis
trict of the Island of Mindanao ant
the Island of Samar. They will prob
ably be absent until after April Il
upon which date, Guevarra, Lullban'
successor in Samar, will surrender.
