"Sonny Boy" Shoots Into a
Crowd of Dancers.

Abe Mithell, or Sonny Boy"
as he was called, got his man"
last Saturday night.
Abel is a bad Niger. The col
ored people were holding dance
over Haskell's blacksmith shop;
Friday night Mitchell wanted
admission without paying the us
ual fee and he was refused.
The next night Mitchell bor-
rowed a revolver and went to the
dance again. 1t is said that he
made threats, and when he was
again refused admission to the
dance hall he began firing thru
the door into the crowd of dane
ers. He shot Eve times and Jim
Hayes fell mortally wounded and
two others seriously hurt, among
them Mi'chell's own sister, shot in
the abdomen. The wounded will
recover
Mitchell dashed for the hotel
where he had been working, got a
suit of clothes and a bottle of
whisky and escaped from the city.
1t is stated that the cOlored people
say they would like to get hold of
Mitchell, they would save d court
trial.
Sonny Boy" it is said, has

al Of them.
Does the Herald man mean that
Folk must endorse that peculiar
class Of Democracy that. at least,
will stand by and see boodling
done without complaint, and what
are the peculiarities OF this Mis-
souri, Democrat But the Herald
thinks that in view of the fact that
Republicans charge dishonesty,
Mr.. Folk should say that the State
administration is clean. Sakes
aliveln Why is the State admin
istration so very sensativei When
or where did Mr.. Folk or his
friends accuse the administration
of stealing anything' "Oh, it's
the Republicans that do that"
But why so sensitive to Repub-
licanicharge just now when they
have been doing that ali alongi Is
it possible that a man can not be
for MIR. Folk and honest govern
ment without attacking the State
administration
1t would seem from their very
sensitiveness, that they are afraid
Mr.. Folk will look over the books.
Let me whisper right easy in
your ears, gentlemen, that Mr.. Jo-
seph w. Folk will be the next gov
ernor Of the State, the people will
see to that and all your bowling
won't stop it, and he'll see the
books, and if they are all right
you need not be uneasy; he'll say
well done, but if not, woe be to
you.
There is one thing true, Mr..
Folk knows, and the people know,
that some of the administration
have sat right under the shadow of
boodling, have witnessed the trans
actions without a word, and he
and his friends will be careful
about saying such men are honest.
1t cannot be done and the great
principle for which Mr.. Folk
stands maintained.

WHY so ToucHX

l notice an article in the. Col
umbia Herald of Oct. 9, under the
caption, "A Suggestion to Mr..
Folk" that is a little peculiar.
The editor, in a very sanctimoni-
Gus way, compliments Mr.. Folk;
says Mr.. Bryan endorses him as a
good Democrat, that supported the
ticket in '96, stood by the plat
form, etc. and seems to make be-
lieye that he is for Folk for gov
ernOr. This being the case the
editor proceeds to give Folk some
advice. But who would have
thought of the Herald man asking
Mr.. Folk il he we're a Missouri
Democrati What is there peculiar
about Missouri Democracyi Does
not Democracy stand for good,
honest government everywhere Is
is not for the punishment of Grim
inals at all timesl Does it not
stand for the right and does it not
condemn the wrong anywhere and
by anybody
The Herald man would make us
believe that there is a brand OF
Democracy in Missouri that at
least is very touchy when the
question for honest government is
up for discussion.
In spite Of all that may be said,
Mr.. Folk stands as the representa-
tive Of honest government. In
the discharge Of his duties he has
laid the Foundation for the prose
cution Of evil doors, and there is
no power that can rob him Of the
credit for It. tis Represents 4

I
and Of all the powers that be, ant
the people as they have always
done, will honor the man that
boldly defends the right, not Sc
much for the man as for the prin.
cipIe he represents.
In spite Of themselves those PEG
pie who make war upon Mr.. Folk
place themselves in opposition tC
this great principle, dear to all
goodmen. There is no way to OPP
pose him only to be in opposition
to what be has done The issue is

says. Every time the official probe

to Democratic headquarters. If the
Democratic party doesn't cut loose
from the gang that has disgraced
the Estate it will be buried be-
meath an avalanche of indignant

Said editoriaIly by the st. Louis
Republic: Senator William j..
Stone does not earn the indulgence
he receives from the press. After
having gone into the metropolitan
press business in Kansas City he
should have the consistency to re-
frain from a sweeping defiance of
the metropolitan press as an insti-
tuition. He hurts himself by his
want of logic. AS for The Re-
public, it has a national reputa-
ton as the great champion of Mis-
souri,. Being a newspaper it must
publish grand jury reports and va
rious investigations of public af-
fairs-all Of which is good for
Missouri. 1t is the great cham
pion of Missouri and of the Dem
ocracy's fine record in the State.
If w. j. Stone does not add to the
fine record The Republic cannot
help the fact.
