Missouri: Missouri raises more cotton
to the acre than any other state in the
Union except one In pure bred cattle
Missouri leads all other states COM

Missouri white clover, brings higher
price than any other honey, not except

After His Scalp.
Judging from the following dispatch,
dated at Providence, r. T., Jan. 3, Gov
ernor Garvin is redhot after the scalp
lock of your Uncle Nelson w. Aldrich:
Governor Lueius F. c. Garvin of Rhode
Island has declared war upon Senator
Nelson w. Aldrich of the Turkey State
and is working tooth and nail to defeat
him for reelection.
Il consider the defeat of Senator Aldrich
as being not only one of the possibilities
but also one of the probabilities of the
campaign of 1904" said Governor Garvin
| today. Furthermore think that the de-
feat of this man by the assembly of Rhode
Island would be a magnificent victory for
the people of the state" he continued.
'sThe power which he exerts in the senate
reflects anything but credit to the peo-
pie of this state. OF course money will be
used as it was never used before by our
Republican friends, but with threat to
punish bribery in any form wherever it
may be found the use of money may be
subverted.
1t would be strange if Senator Aid
rich, who runs the United States senate
as if it were personal chattel, should
find that he could not control the mi
croscopical state of Rhode Island. Our
Uncle Nelson would probably think
some thinklets along the line of those
once enunciated by a gentleman Of the
euphonious name of 0'Callaghan, who
was the section boss on the Chicago
and Alton railroad at my home town.
The tale runs in this wise: Right up
against the right of way of the rail
road there is located a Jewish ceme-
terry, with a heavy arch over the en-
trance bearing this philosophical leg
end: sThe Gates of Peace Train
men had seen it so often that it had be-
come a familiar landmark to them.
One night the fast meat train from
Kansas City to Chicago took a header
at this particular spot and piled up the
crushed and shattered cars until Mr..
Swift would scarcely have recognized
his lard or Mr.. Armour his bacon. Mr.
O'Callaghan of blessed memory came
hotfoot to the scene, beheld the free
victuals and grasped the gravity Of the
situation. Again hotfootfng, he sped
to the railroad station and fred off the
following:
P. sheehan, Division superintendent,
Slater, Mo:
Send the wrecking train at once There's
hell to pay at 1.-The Gates of Peace.''

Governor Beckham of Kentucky has
taken up the cudgels for his state in
a most vigorous fashion. He is not
mealymouthed about expressing his
opinion Inter ALA he says
It is not an exaggeration to say that
there was not day during the past year
that human life was not safer in Ken

is any night upon the streets of Chicago
or New York, from the sanguinary coll
umns of whose veracious journals the
people have been told day after day of
the awful condition of lawlessness and
crime in Kentucky.
Will that fiery language change in
any way the comments of the New
York and Chicago papers? Not parti-

that down in old Kentucky the Demo
Gratis are lining up for Beczham and
Blackburn as opposing senatorial can
didates, which is quite likely to make
"a condition Of things yes, quite

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first

prevails that preparations are under
way for the extension of the line to

Things look very suspicious anyway,
but nothing is given out by General

such is the case. The offices OF the
company are being changed to new
