DAINTY FLORAL CHAINS

There is a dainty new chain
for the summer girl to wear
with her collarless waist. 1t is
made of narrow ribbon and tiny
artificial flowers, and is worn in
the same way as the head

Black velvet ribbon and small
white daisies would also look

BIG FIGHT AT
Monroe Station July 10, 1861. One Man
Killed. JOhnnies Skedadded.

Under the caption. Civil War
Battle at Monroe CITY," Emile
Ruck De Scheli, in the Shelby
County Herald last week had
an article purporting to be a
description OF tue Monroe
Fight"
1t is hard to tell whether it is

she says: History is wrong.
Bull Run was not the first bat.
tie of the war. The battle OF
Monroe City occurred almost
two weeks before it, it lasted
two days and zone man was
killed.
The first battle of Bull Run
was fought July 81, 1861. Mon
roe Station-there was no Mon.
roe City at that time-was
fought July 10, 1851. That of
Patosi, Mo, May /. 1861;
Boonville. Mo-, June II, 1861;
Carthage, Mo-, July 5, 1861. All
told there were fifty five battles
and skirmishes in Missouri. The
last battle was that at Contra liza
Sept. %, 1864.
So it will readily be seen, the
Monroe Station fight or battle
was the fourth in the state.
Fit. Sumpter was fired upon
April II, 1861, and call for
troops was issued April Is. 1861
Col. r. F. Smith, with the 10th
Illinois infantry, was sent to
Monroe Station to look after it
and the territory adjacent, EN-
bracing the Salt River H. & st.
Joe bridge, 8 miles west of Mon
roe. Col. Smith and a portion
of his troops ran into a hornets
nest near Indian Creek and be
ing badly frightened, turned
tail and scampered back to
Monroe as fast as possible and
entreuched themselves in the
Institute-the large two story
brick building with a basement
under the whole of it-schoOl
building, built by the Episco
palians.
They had hardly made their
stand when three companies of
Johnnies hove in sighl from. the
north. One company was com
manded by Capt. John Priest
it was the only one that had a
sembleuce OF unity, the others
being the rawest of the raw

WHERE is THE West?

The Kansas City Journal, evidently
Influenced by Senator Platt's nomin-
alton of Mr.. Aldrich for vice president,
says:
The east will have the republican
nomination for president next year,
and the west will support him with
an enthusiasm almost unknown to the
east. But the west at the same time
will insist on being allowed to name
the candidate for vice president"
An English traveller, speaking to
hotel clerk in st. Louis on one occa-
sion, remarked: II am just beginning
to appreciate the size of your country.
/ landed in New York fortnight ago
we'll aware of the fact that If / took
good look aroun it would require
time and money. But, bless your soul,
here am a thousand miles from the
sea, and a newspaper reporter, after
interviewing me, asks il I am going
west! Now. where, in heavens name,
does your west begin?"
The Journal is right. The west is
expecting, and should be accorded, the
honor of naming the republican candi-
date for vice president. But, apply,
ing the Englishman's question, whesei

ONLY A DREAM.

Davenport Republican: An esteem.
ed democratic exchange remarks that
From the way things are shaping
themselves in the political arena it be-
gins to look as If any good democrat
at the head of the democratic ticket
can win in the next democratic cam
paign." AS sample of faith built on
nothing this beats anything so far de-
veloped since the campaign of three
years ago. He is extrem ely careful not
to name the good democrat who can
lead his party out of the wilderness but
he evidently thinks one of the kind ex--
lists. Whether he is looking toward
Lincoln, Neb., or Princeton, N. j., does
not develop in his reckless prophecy.
AS a matter of fact things are not
shaping themselves in favor of demo-
cratic success. Times are too good
to give the democratic party the shad.
ow of chance to vim. 1t must not be
forgotten that the parsy was tried only
a few years ago and was found want
ing, and the people ane not ready yet
to sprint for soup houses. When they
get tired working they will vote in ia
vor of democratic president, but Just
at the present there Is no disposition
in that direction. The political arena
is packed with republicans who are
satisfied with present conditions. Our
esteemed democratic brother must
have dreamed what he wrote about
democratic success next year.

WILL STAND BY LACEY.

A marked copy of the Grlnnell Ga
zette came tc us the other day in
which the retirement of Congressman
Lacy is advocated because, and for
sooth, it prefers another, because he
has thus far failed to get federal
building for Grinnell. Major Lacey
don't carry more than a half dozen
federal buildings around in his vest
pocket but if kept in his present posi-
ton Grinnell will get what it wants
about ten years sooner than it will if
a new member is elected in his place.
Marion Register.
The Marion Register is right, Grin
nell will get what it wants great deal
sooner by keeping Major Lacey in
congress and it is not to be doubted
that many of the citizens of Grinnell
realize this. Should some few dis
gruntled people of that city attempt to
carry out the proposal of the Gazette
the remainder of the sixth district will
see to it that it's worthy and efficient
representative is returned to congress.

the MACHINE VS.. REFoRMER.

The recent difficulty in Danville,
ILL.,, has brought to light something Of
the political conditions that exist in
that city, which cannot but be of in
terest to every student of municipal
government and especially to those
who have dreams of reform.
Sheriff H. r. Whitlock has for
years been one of the leading repub-
licans of Vermillion county. In the
campaign last fall he was the candi-
date of the machine and as such was
criticised by many discontinued citi-
zens of Danville. 1t was the desire of
disgruntled republicans to smash the
machine and with this in view they
entered the campaign. However, they
were unable to make any Roadway
against the candidate for sheriff and
Mr.. Whitlock was safely landed in
office. And what man is there in
Vermi!lion who, in the light OF re-
cent happenings is not glad that this
man was elected, surely not one wor-
thy of the name.
In the contest for mayor, however,
the efforts of the disconnected ones
were successful. They conceived the
idea of uniting with the democrats
of the county in support OF John
Beard, a democrat, nominated on an
independent ticket Beard was their
hope for carrying out the reforms in
the city administration which they
desired. He had served as democrat
ic mayor in other times and had not
given satisfaction, but it was the opln-

tily reached or hastily expressed, and
that the opinions that he had held
in the past were those which he then
held, and should hold in the future,
simply because he believed them to
be true; that is, he believed that the
great transformation of the last six
years had made a change in some of
the tariff schedules plainly necessary;
that some of the tariff rates were too
high and should be reduced, and that
the tariff schedules should be so franz
ed as to offer no inducement to do
nestle monopoly or foreign control of
American Industries. Furthermore,
he was of the opinion that reciprocity
in trade between nations was for mu-
tual advantage, and that in order to
gain this, both sides must give as we'll
as take. These points were certainly
emphasized in Governor Cummins'
convention speech, and he should re-
ceive the credit for them. Perhaps
what he was constrained to do by
the influence of party opinion was not
to insist upon immediate tariff revis-
ion, but to let the question of change
in the tariff go over until after the
presidential election.

LET HIM ALONE.

Memphis Commercial Appeal: AS
the Washington Post wisely observes,
the best way to treat the negro is to
let him alone. The race that has to
be coddled, nursed and pampered will
never amount to a hill of beans. Who.
ever heard of the Normans, the Anglo
SaXons, the Germans, the Italians, the
French or the Spaniards requiring the
special protection and chaperonage of
another people? Sometimes these PEG.
pies have been the under dog, but they
have always managed to fight their
way to the top. The Saxons were con-
quered by the Normans, but during the
centuries they went about their ways,
and today their character and influ-
ence are inextricably interviewer with
English life and institutions. Ireland
has been an unwilling partner in the
British empire, yet in our own day we
have seen an Irishman chief Justice of
Great Britain and another Irishman in
command of her armies. The race that
cannot help itself to higher levels is
not worth outside assistance. The ne,
gro must be his own salvation or per-
ish from the face of the earth. Japan
has eloquently illustrated the truth of
this remark, and so has mighty Rus
