The trouble occurred when Con-
stables William Critchell and Charles
Undertake entered the coloners
room while he was eating supper, at
tired In his underclothes only. Mr..
Chinn had purchased a bill OF goods
from Burkhardt Bros. amounting to
about $75, and told them be would
settle the bill later. The Arm evi.

hotel to collect the bill. This anger

frightened the messenger away.

stables entered the room and made
their business known, Chinn few into
a rage and dashed at them to put
them out. Critchell, a powerful Eel

1T SURPRISED DEMOCRATS.
Polls on New Immigration in Missouri
Counties.
X. c. Star.

X. c. Star.
The big immigration to Missouri
in recent years has it's political as
well as economic interest to the cam.
paign managers in the state. The
editor OF a Democratic newspaper in
one of the northwest counties, who
was in Kansas City this morning,
said that he local officers OF all the
northern Democratic counties, act
ing on their own account and on be-
hall OF the state central committee
as we'll, have been making poll OF
the new settlers during the past two
years to learn what their politics is.
81 suppose" said this Democratic
editor, shat the same thing il being
done in all the counties where immi-
grafton has been heavy-for instance,
the Southwest and Southeast. In
our section we have pretty accurate
information, although we don't put
q direct question to a newcomer.
Usually there are other ways of find
ing out. Most OF the men who have
come in to buy our farm lands were
from Iowa and Illinois. That fact
got us somewhat anxious, for those
states are pretty thoroughly Repub-
lican. But we have been agreeab1y
surprised to find that the new popu'
lation is about evenly divided polit-
ically with slight preponderance in
our favor-that is, something over
half OF them are Democrats. 1t ie
the same all through the northern
half of the state"
The same man expressed the BELLE
that homeseekers are influenced
somewhat in their selection OF new
field OF labor by political considera'
tions. To illustrate it in negative
sort OF way be told this story:
"Some years ago two Missouriani
from Cole county went to Florida tt
inspect some orange orchards with {
view of purchasing. They we're refer
red to a successful planter who prov
ed to be very 'grouchy' and uncom
municative. When they were abou
to leave in disgust they told tina
they were from Missouri Instant.
the manner of the Florida ma
changed.
why, that's good old Demo
craticstate,' he said. Later he show
ed them all parts OF his orchards AN
gave them valuable informatio
about orange culture.

rians were Republicans"

DOCKERY VETOED TWO BILLS.
Judge Dabbs to Remain In Office In
Jasper County.

Jefferson City, April Ex-Governor
Dockery sent to the secretary oil
safe, Samuel Cook, two veto mes
sages this morning, one on senate
bill 23S and the other on house bill
SO. The senate bill was to legislate
Hugh Dabbs of the circuit bench In
Jasper county, by amending the law
enacted In 1901, dividing the TWEEN.
ty-tifth judicial circuit in two divis-
ions, and providing for the appoint
ment of an additional Judge. Hugh
Dabbs was appointed Judge OF the
new division OF the circuit court by
Governor Dockery in 1901 to hold
until his successor was elected and
qualified. At the last November
election Dabbs' successor was elected,
but died before he qualified, and
Dabbs continues to hold Office.
The governor, in his veto message,
says: 1.-THE appointment authorized
by the statute was made in due time
and the incumbent is now discharg-
ing the duties OF his Office. At the
general election OF 1902 a successor
was elected who died before he was
able to qualify; therefore, thepresent
incumbent holds, under existing law,
until his successor is not only elected,
but qualities. On its face it is obvi-
ously a special law. Section SO OF
article " OF the constitution de-
clares that the legislature shall not
pass any local or special law, where
a general law can be made applica-
ble.' do not think the legislature
has the power, under the constitu'
ton, to GUST circuit Judge from Of
flee in this manner, and l, therefore,
decline to approve the BILL"
The house bill relates to proceed.
ings before trial and change OF venue,
when granted by repeating sections
1896, 1896 and 1897 and enacts
three new sections in lieu thereof.
The governor says: "The bill I'M
der consideration deprives the regu-
lar Judge Of this power, where he is
disqualified under the statutes, and
permits the prosecuting attorney
and defendants counsel to agree up
on any lawyer possessing the qualifi-
cations OF a circuit Judge, to act as
special Judge in the case. II such an
agreement is made and the party
selected consents to serve, the regu
lar Judge cannot invite the Judge Of
another circuit to try the case. The
present practice is well understood
and well established; the regular
Judge can be safely intrusted with
power to agree to the selection OF
speeialiudge or, if he thinks best, call
in the Judge Of another circuit to try
causes which he is incompetent tn
try.
81 cannot believe that the propos'
ed change will tend to better en-
forcement OF the criminal Jaw. This
is also a departure from the present
statute, which has long been in force
requiring the affidavit of the defend
ant himself. For these reasons
cannot approve the bill"
