APPEAL FROM MISSOURI.
Democrats Urge Senator Vest to Accept a
Reelection.

NS'GItCtjONs
As the day for the democratic legis-
lative caucus draws nearer Gum
Shoe Bills chances for a seat in the
United States senate grow more re-
mote. A Washington special of last
Thursday, says great many letters
and dispatches are reaching Senator
Vest from democrats in Missouri urg-
lug him not to decline reelection.
The matter is pressed upon the sena-
tor as duty to the state and the dem
ocratic party. 1t is represented that
an increasingly large number Of DEM
ocrats are dissatisfied with Stone, that
his personal record is Objectionable,
and that for party reasons also it is
not desirable to put him at the front
for the next six years.
Senator Vest has taken no part
whatever in the senatorial situation
in Missouri. He has fully expected
to retire on March 4 next, and the
dispatches that pour in upon him
come as surprise. His health is bet
ter than it has been. Some of his
correspondents tell him that he has
always taken an over-serious view Of
the decline of the unusually robust
health he enjoyed for so many years.
Others insist that his advice was
never more needed than now. Still
others hold that his conspicuous ser
vices in the senate for twenty-four
years should be rounded out by an
other term.
But the majority plead for Mis-
souri's time-honored senatorial stand
ard, and beg the senator to save the
: state from lobby representative, a
man whose devious ways are dreaded
and whose duplicity has been proved
again and again. Many democrats
represent that Stone is deep in party
faction and can not be trusted even
by his faction, unless on the ground
of personal interest.
If the appeals to Vest continue to
pile up, the demand that he shall &C
cept If elected will soon amount to .
roar from every county in Missouri.
The senator's mental powers are
unimpaired. His health may continue
to improve. He has many friends
who contend that the Office is seeking
him now in . more imperative man.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Route Will be Established in Northern
Part Of This County.

A rural free mail delivery
route, running out from Caple-
vile, Tenn, and traversing about
nine miles IN DeSoto county, is to
be established in the near future.
Mr.. w. M. Cookson, a rural
route Inspector, won't over the
proposed route last week and ex-
pressed his opinion that it would
be no trouble to give the petition
erS daily mail service, provided
that two bridges be built and
other improvements be made
on the highways along the pro
posed route. To this end. Mr..
John T. Malone went before the
board OF supervisors last Monday
and urged them to make the nee
cessary improvements. The board
agreed to expend a certain amount
for this purpose, as the improve
ments were needed anyway, and
Mr.. Malone will pay the balance
that is necessary from his own
pocket.
This will be the first rural free
delivery route established in De-
Soto county, and Mr.. Malone, a
leading citizen of the county, has
been working faithfully for the
establishment of the route, and
deserves great credit for his ef-
forts.

Devoured by Worms.

Children often cry, not from
pain, but from hunger, aItho' fed
abundantly. The entire trouble
arises from inanition, their food
is not assimilated, but is devour-
ed by worms. A few doses of
Whites Cream Vermifuge will
cause them to cease crying and
begin to thrive at once, very
much to the surprise and joy of
the mother. 25c at E. d. Lauder

COUNTY DIVISION
The Thing on Which Everything
 Else Hangs.

The democratic legislature caucus advertised. There were informal eau cuses but they amounted to nothing since weightier matters than the or ganization of the houses and the selec- tion of persons for appointive positions were to be considered. The question of county division is now the foremost one and that will be settled in the caucus of the democrats of both branches before anything else is con- sidered.
 It is proposed to make two counties of each Yavapai. Graham and Cochise. The probabilities are that within the next sixty days this will be done for it has happened that in the election of members of the assembly and council from these counties the voters seem to have had county division in mind. It is generally believed that Eugene s. Ives of Yuma will be the president of the council. MT. Ives, by the way. arrived in the city last night. He must if he wishes to be president give assur- ance that he will favor county division measures. In any other event he will not be the president of the council.
 If he wanted that honorable position it is quite generally conceded that E. A. Packard of Cochise could have the presidency for the asking of it. Mir. Packard says he does not want the honor and would not accept it unless it should become necessary for him to do so to secure the legislation he de- sires
 It was thought on Friday night that H. F. Ashurst might be the president but MT. Ashurst took pains yesterday to dispel any notion of that sort say ing that even if he were elected to the presidency he was so tied up that he could not accept it.
 It is generally understood that the speaker will be either Judge Cowan or w. A. Rowe but that hangs on the caucus. Democratic members of the house said last night that the reason the caucus was not held was that two members. B. Whiteside of Santa Cruz and w. T. Webb of Graham. had not come yet. That shows that the issue is very close. Mr. Whiteside will almost certainly have no objection to the di- vision of any county. It is thought that Mir. Webb will be favorable to Q proposition for more counties.

 f Now I wish to state, MT. Chairman and I think it is reasonable to assume that have some understanding of the articles of incorporation as submitted by the majority-in my judgment. as one of the counsel for the committee who prepared those articles, that they conform absolutely in every particular and do not depart in the slightest de- gree. in any way. vitally or otherwise, from the plan adopted by the general conference committee. Judge Kibbey and l sat down with that plan before us and drew those articles with the deter imitation that there should be no de- parture from that plan, and l believe that we succeeded.
 If there is any possibility that the articles of incorporation brought before this committee are through any chan mel or source whatever to be so mis- construed that any one in this com
 
 those articles are presented to the pub lie that they contain the defects which are stated in the minority report, then I think that this community is in grave danger of a delay in working out this proposition, which ought to be avoided if possible. It seems to me that it is not in any way out of place, MT. Chair man, for me to suggest that if any member of this committee has inad- vertently formed a wrong conception of these articles or a conception at least which is not endorsed by those who drew the articles. that they should carefully have reserved these wrong conceptions until the whole sub ject can be presented simultaneously to the people of this valley.
 Several members of the committee personally expressed great surprise at Dr. Wilbur's attitude, for it was ex- plained that MT. Wilbur had voted affirmatively in the executive commit tee on every section of the articles of incorporation except one, and that one was in no way criticised by the minor ity report. Indeed it could not have been changed anyhow. for it was sec ton inserted absolutely for the purpose of complying with the national law.
