Chance For Carnegie,

A tramp printer struck Ghis
town sometime since. He was
hale and hearty and had guzzled
his beer till he had brought his
weight mp to over 200. But he
was old, foot-sore, almost bare
headed, had lost his coat and was
dOwncast. He couldn't get a job.
We gave him him a dime to get
rid of him, feeling almost sure it
would go for drink.
But where did that fellow stay
that night No hotelry would have
him-nObody would have him. But
he found a place to stay. The

"a Modest Seat. .

james Todd, who was appointed
by Gov. Dockery as chairman of
the state board of mediation and
arbitration, is editor of the Noda-
way Democrat, published at Mary
vile. Mr. Todd travels about the
state considerably in connection
with his duties on the state board,
but was slow about announcing
his preference for the Democratic
nomination for governor. He
waited till he felt sure how the
public felt, and in last weeks is
sue he declared himself. The Dem
ocrat says:
The Democrat has occupied a
modest seat in the Folk band wag-
on for some time and sees no rea-
son to regret it. We have adj
mired the courage and ability
shown by him in his great fight
against corruption in st. Louis.
We regard him as the logical can
didate of the party if the party is
to take the stand it should for the
suppression of boodleism and cor
rupt lobby influences. He is a
platform in himself for honest
government, and of his fitness to
be governor there is no question.
In saying this for Mr.. Folk it is
not necessary to utter a word
against other candidates. The
plain, simple, logical proposition
is that Joseph w. Folk is the man
of the day-he is in the peoples
mind as the one man upon whom
leadership is to be placed to wipe
ont the dishonest methods that
have gained such a footing that al.
most drastic measures are neces-
sary to terminate such conditions.
The people are in favor of heroic
treatment, and they propose that
Mr.. Folk shall administer that
treatment and continue the great
work Of reform.
The nomination and election of
Joseph w. Folk as governor will
have its influence for good in all
parties.

Died, Aug. 81, at her home
near Auxvasse, Mrs. Maletha
Hixson. The remains, accompan-
led by husband and son, were
shipped to Ohio for interment.
The news of Grandma" Hixson's
death came as a surprise and grief
to her old friends and neighbors
of this part Of the county. Tho
she had been in very frail health
for several years, her death was
due to heart failure and was quite
sudden. Her husband who was in
the house, was called as soon as
her condition was noticed, but
when he reached her bedside the
breath had left the frail body. The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the stricken family, So
suddenly bereaved of a loved wife
and mother. For many years she
was our kind neighbor and cher
ished friend. We know of her I'M
selfish devotion to her family, her
kindness to all, her patient endur.
ance of weakness and suffering she
was called upon to endure, and
above all her Christian resignation
to the will of Him who doeth all
things well; may husband children
and grand children, all, meet her
where sickness, sorrow and death
are unknown
After the toll and turmoil,
After the strife is past,
Cometh the peace God giveth,
Com eth the rest at last"

Word comes from Kansas City
that the coal mine owners in the

wages 7 cents a ton, and the price
of coal 80 cents to 81 a ton. This
is the worst feature of a monopoly.

but it can even make it's burdens a
