Combination to heat Folk.

combination I'd Beat FOlks
A correspondent at Washing.
ton, in q telegram to the Kansas
City Star Sunday, reveals a com.
bination existing between Halves,
Reed and CAN'T boomers to give
Joseph w. Folk Knockout blow
in the most daring, unprincipled
style, at the proper time. The
members of the official board TO
investigate the garbage question
for st. Louis were in Washington
last week, and thinking they
were far enough away from home
to "speak out in meetin'," they
gave the trick away in regular
''ward heelcr" slang, and with
no restriction rs to their many
auditors. 1t serves as a warning
to country Democrats, who they
look upon as "yaps and reubs"
in Missouri politics. Read it:
The wise ones" ''the blokcs," the
guys" and "thc Indians" have sized up
the situation to their satisfaction. and
here it is, Il composite offering, related
TO auditors in restaurant, saloon and
hotel Hobbies in Washington:
Harry HAYES will get everything
loose in st. Louis. That guy won't
leave a smell for Folk. There's moth.
ing dom for nobody else in the prima-
rics when that guy gets in the game.
jim Reed will turn the trick in Kansas
City. Say, that bloke has got 'eIn all
skinned when it comes to Spellbindlng,
and he's Il wise one, too.
Hes pickin' EN- up all over h.'
state. Then there's Can't. "A Johnny
Reb, that's in the running. You must
not forget that chcrub. He's got en-
all tied to him out in the state. Where
is Folk comm in? He won't be in the
running in his town and he's Gear
out Of it in Kansas City. You don't
think we've Il lot Of Reubs down in
Missouri TO let that young guy get
away with the goods, do you! Not on
your life. Harry Halves will stop his
clock ali right, al right. Have, and
Reed understand one another. Harry
is in the game 20 skin Folk and he'll
do it. Which ever Of them two gaza-
boos has the best chance TO win will
get the votes of both. Folks clear
outplayed his hand. He's been run
| ming wild for three months and amt
getting anywhere. All the fellows all
over the state is afeerd Of i'm, and the
things they'll do to that fellow when
the convention meets is a plenty"
And right mere in this cOnnec-
ton we wish to warn our fellow
Democrats, who are in favor OF
Joseph w. Folk and good govern
mcnt, against the hirelings of
the boodicrs who are running
around, purely for "pay" and not
from principle, doing all in their
power against Folk and who are
not losing a chance to discrcdit
him in the eyes Of the people, no
matter how sneaking or under
handed the way in which they
have to go about it.

From Gladstone.

While SO many of our leading poll
ticians are saying 50 much about who
shall be our next governor, it seems AS
though all classes Of voters should seri-
ously cons. der the Importance of hav-
ing n good nan nominated, and to this
end we should strive. And to oppose
the nomination Of Joseph w. Folk,
''vicwinp the mattcr from my stand
point" would be uphoiding boodlcrs,
There is no doubt, but we have many
Democrats that would make good gov
been tried and not found wanting; and
let us have II primary election. We
want no county conventions.
Elder Thos. ii. Bauphman on last
Thursday brought to IA close Il very
successful meeting which was held in
the Gladstone school house, lasting
from the Saturday before the fourth
Sunday in September till last Thurs.
day. Seven were immersed. With very
little exception good order was main
tanned throughout the meetings, and
great interest was manifested by 4;
majority Of the citizens of Gladstone
and vicinity, and the young people took
especial interest in the meetings, ant
it is to be hoped that those who are
morally and religiously inclined, will,
put forth their best efforts to have more
preaching in the future than they have
had in the past. e.

This concluded the inquest and after
considering the testimony the Jurors

toward the track and not away from it.
Another supposition is that the man
was Intoxicated. Staggering toward
the pole to support himself, he lost his
balance and fell into the water and was
too greatly overcome by liquor to
render himself any assistance. In ex-
amlnlng the stomach the physicians
found no traces of beer but they aver
that signs of alcohol would have been
noticeable. Coroner Fritsche gave as
his opinion that the man might have
been suffering with gripping pains in
the abdomen or intestines and had
fallen in a stupor. The same method
OF reasoning would answer for sud-
den stroke of apoplexy.
AS far as is now known the man was
seen by bat three person before his
death. Wednesday afternoon between
the hours of 1:3O and O'Clock a man

The LAST MEMORIAL DAY
Asa r. BROOKS

Idre amed last night of grand array
OF marshaled men, on Memorial lav: ZEE
Hundreds OF thousands far away. .
With banners proudly streaming.
They marched the streets with silent tread
Down to the graves of the nations dead:
While the ghostly moonlight overhead,
I'd Through their Seried ranks WAS streaming
All night long through the quiet street
Till / thought heard their marching feet
The muffied music so plaintiyely sweet: = 81
The shouting croWdSWhO came to greet
And the tones of the bugle ringing.
Sherman's army and .McClellan's men.
Hancock, Blair, Mcpherson then #=

Their Burnside came, and General Meade.
And dashing along at his tOpmoSt speed r
Sitting erect on his coal black steed-s0s te@#
Came Sheridan, WEOin the hour of need II
Won fame on September morning.
Then Fremont came from western lands:
And Hooker and Porter and Rosencrans
carrying their SabreS In their hands,
Marching to the bugle's warning.
Then Grant with his veteran army passed,
Without a sound or a trumpet blast;
And l wondered, how long is it going to last
The march Of the dead Of the nation.
When out of the mist the unknown dead,
For whom 40 tears of love were shed
Wierdly marched, with silent tread,
And thought, wi tn lamentation
For hours there passed these silent men,

felt better. The following day when
Mr.. Eibner learned of the finding OF an
unknown man he went to the morgue-
and was able to positively identify the.
e orpse as that Of his guest Of We'd
nesday. Twice during Wednesday af-,
ternoon the man went into Chas.
Stengel's saloon. Both times he was
seen by the proprietor and Joseph

he buy anything or speak to anyone.
Thursday afternoon a report was
spread about the city that the stranger
was a resident Of Hanska. In view Of.
this fact Albin Carlson was asked to.

Another "Save Your Wheat C1rCular.'
G. Farmers have not forgotten the ad-
vice. given them some years ago, SINH
lar to thatprinted below, nor the direful
results that followed the saving of
wheat for 81. Most farmers are INTEL
ligent enough to follow their own ad-
vice and the man who is scattering
broadcast the circular advising them
to hold their wheat probably has more
than he can handle and is trying to
gain. More money has been lost by.
holding wheat than by selling it, and
the farmer is foolish who has conf
dence enough to raise crop of wheat,
to obey the dictates of any man who
seeks to speculate on his product. A
farmers Judgment as to the selling
time of his crop is his own best advis-
or and nine times out of ten he is
right. The circular in part is as fol-
lows:
SIT is evident that the American
ldiuoiS CtullOU PlOuuCO OVCI GNSlFt
bushels per acre on an average, which
at 50 cents per bushel represents
S1O.56 per acre to cover all the work,
seed, twine, threshing, marketing, etc.,
an amount that scarcely equals the
simplest machine that the farmer buys,
and which only represents a small
fraction of the investment, capital and
labor employed.
&"Who dare say in the face of these
evidences and considering the present
higher range of values for nearly
every other commodity produced in
! country that wheat produced at this
time and for the next crop is not equi-
tably worth 81 per bushel on the basis
of the Chicago market, and that other
farm crops should be on correspond
ing basis?
1Farmers, keep this matter in mind,
keep 81 wheat ISL at Chicago) before
you, and you will get it as sure as the
sun rises in the east and sets in the
west. Above all, however, we implore
you, don't be fools. When you get
the equitable price, let it go. Sell on
the basis of 81 and no less, but don't
hold for more, or you may run up an
unwieldy surplus, which must eventu
ally compel lower prices.''

were named as the physicians to con
duct the post mortem examine alton.
| They went through the effects of the
deceased carefully but were unable to
find any papers of any sort upon his
person giving his name or place of
residence. In going through the vest
small piece of chewing tobacco and
short lead pencil, about two inches
in length, were discovered in the upper
left-hand pocket of the garment but
these articles constituted his entire
possessions.
Laundry or other marks, which
might have been used as means of
Identification, were totally absent up
on the underclothing and there were
no retailers names to show where the
remainder of the wearing apparel had
been purchased. The body itself was
remarkably free from blemishes. Only
in one place was a scar found, the
cfcatrice extending across the knuckle
VI uAAO AA4SAOA 1I1lSC vi Ul1C lC1U uduOs
No broken bones were discernable
and a careful examination of the sur
faces of the body failed to disclose
any marks of violence or of injuries
inflicted. There was not the trace of a
bruise and the autopsy revealed very
little. In performing this DR.. Strick-
Ter removed the bones of the chest,
laying bare the vitals. He learned
that the heart sack contained half
once of fluid, a trife above normal.
and that the left lung was in a slight
ly collapsed condition. There was
nothing to denote a diseased state
about the heart. - Ill.
To determine whether foreign SUBJ
tance or obstruction entering into the
trachea had caused death, an incision
was made in that organ but without
result. Indications pointed clearly to
drowning, as the lungs contained a
pint of water, which welled from the
cut in the trachea. Examining the 9th
er organs it was found that a distinct
adhesion existed between the stomach
and the spleen. This, however, in the
opinion Of the PHYSICIANS, could not
have brought about the fatality.
Opening the stomach, that organ was
found to contain water also. While it
was not exactly healthy or natural, the
physicians were unable to find any
traces of poison or poisonous fluids
which could have caused death. It
was determined that the man came to
his death more than twenty-four hours
before the hearing.
After completing their investig gations
the doctors submitted statement say
ing that they had found the lungs
filled with water and that they believed
this to have been the cause of death.
.Other conditions might have been back
Of this but nothing was apparent
Aside from the two surgeons Gustav
Guse, who resides close to the place
where the man was found, was the only
/ witness examined. When sworn his
testimony was very thorough and was
substantially as follows:
