Oldest Negro Woman in
The World Dead.

Rache Taylor, the oldest negro
woman in Missouri, and perhaps in
the world died at New London, No,
last week. The Rails County Times
in speaking of her death, says: Her
relatives in this county wrote to the
descendants of her former owners
in Kentucky regarding her age, and
from the best information they
could gather she was close to 40
years Of age.
She said she was present when
Gen. Washington was made pres
ident the first time and saw the peo-
pie put leaves on the ground for
him to walk on.
She could relate innumerablein in

STOCK AND TRANSFERS

DR.. w. f. Traughber this week
purchased 60 feet fronting north,
on the block east of the postofIice,
paying So, 400. He will erect a
brick business house on the prop
erty. Alfred Larsen, the photog-
rapher, also bought from DR..
Bourne, on the same block, front
ing north just west Of Hathaway's
grain and seed store, 80 feet for
which he paid So, 500. He will also

DR.. H. A. Grier, the wellknown

Of Mastin, Kans., the largest and
best breeders of Poland Chinas in
the world, having 1900 acres de-
voted entirely to hogs with IL herd
boars and over 200 brood sOws on
the farm at present. The hog just
purchashed by Mr.. Grier is Proud
Perfection End, sired by Proud
Perfection and ont of Perfect s
Daisy by LIS Perfection, the sire of
CorrectOr that Winn & Mas tin

Proud Perfection and Perfect's
Daisy were the champion boar and
SOW at Illinois and Iowa State
Fairs in 1900, and Proud Perfec-
ton has sired more winners since
that time than any boar living. So
you see it is not a mere happen-so
that Mr.. Grier's hog is great one
but he could not be otherwise
Sows in the Grier herd are

Now cross these sows with this
great Perfection Boar and what

One of our exchanges observes:
Visitors to the Worlds Fair are
amazed and Inundated to see that
the government is advertising it's
possessions in the Far East as the
home of naked sayages and bar
barian, when, in fact, these people
no more represent the predominant
races of the islands than the wild
Indians do the people of the United
States. In his curiosity to see
the savage section of the exhibit
the average man Overlooks that
part which in a measure advertises
the resources of the islands. The
average Filipino wears clothes,
raises crops, lives in houses, wor-
ships the true God and is other
wise we'll along in the scale of civ
ilization, but the average Ameri-
can viii not learn these things by
visit to the Igorrotte aud Moro
camps in st. Louis. The object in
keeping the savages in the fore
ground, no doubt, is to impress
upon the people the idea that the
Filipinos are uncivilized and in
this way to justify the contention
THAT it is all right to rule him with
out his consent.

FOR PRESIDENT.

ON
Congressman w. D. Vandiver Of
Missouri, discussing national pol
itics in Washington City the other
day. said: awhile in New York /
talked with few prominent Dem
ocrats and found that there was
strong opposition TO Parker espec-
tally among the Tammany crowd.
If it be true, as they allege, that
he refused to support Bryan in
1896, his nomination would lose us
many votes in Missouri. Whether
| this charge is well-founded or not,
| | am unable yet to determine.
Possibly it may turn ont to be only
one of the usual campaign can
ards.
"At any rate, Missouri's candi-
date for the presidential nomination
does not have to prove where he
has stood on the great public ques-
tons of the last decade, | am
more than ever impressed with the
idea of nominating Senator Cock
rell. 1t would mean thousands of
votes for us in Missouri, and, /
believe, would put the Democratic
party of the nation in better shape
than any other that can be made.
His absolute honesty, his per-
feet knowledge of all the details of
administration in every department
of the Government, and his persis-
tent industry are all so well known
that his election would insure a re.
turn to the old-time methods of
plain, unassuming industry and
public economy.
1t is my firm conviction that
no man in any branch of the
Government service more fully
earns his salary than does the
Grand Old Man of Missouri s he
tolls from early morning till late at
night over the minutest details of
all the various matters of business
which he attends to in the Govern
ment department.
1T is also gratifying how well
he is looking. He is enjoying ro-
bust health, and | never saw him
looking better than when l found
him this morning at work in his
library. As he put on his hat when
/ left him and started out for the
market to select his vegetables for
dinner, | consider that his plain,
democratic habits would make him
an ideal candidate for the presiden-
cy. Old Cincinnatus never appeal
ed to Roman virtue with juster
pride than the Missouri farmer
would feel in following his pillow
and shouting for Cockrell."

and he has been backed by the vast majority Of the
democratic voters Of the nation Today, were he to
declare against Parker and Davis his simple decara'
ton would deprive the democratic candidates OF q
million or two of votes.
But, as all party men should he has abided by
the will of the majority, No politician is greater
than the party of which he is member Its decision
should be final with him. The voter is differently
situated and may with reason bolt whenever he
finds the party wandering from his ideas of right
or wrong In striking contrast with the action of
Mr.. Cleveland and other gold democrats is the ac-
ton Of the famous Nebraskan and the disnterested
element win applaud the course Of the latter.
Mr. Bryan's statement is interesting for other
reasons. He believes that Judge Parker will be
little better from the democratic viewpoint than
President Roosevelt. Democrats demand something
which the president will not promise them. The
democrats expect of Judge Parker those things for
which they can entertain little hope The situation
makes the election Of Mr.. Roosevelt all the more
easy and offers not the least hope to conservative
democrats of the election of the st. Louis NOM
inees.

Business End Of Law.

There are fully 100000 civil suits
Of law brought in this country every
year. If the plaintiffs were different
In every case, one In eight OF the vot-
ing population could be said to be a
litigant. AS 1t is, the actual number
Of different litigants is not In excess
Of OO0-4OO,OOO plaintiffs and 4OO,-
900 defendants-which Is 1 per cent
Of the total population Of the country,
now about S0,0OO,OOO. The number of
law suits brought in a year in France
is 100000. In Italy-Italians are much
inclined to lltlgation--it is 1,400, 0O0,
and In Germany 1t is 100000, very
much larger number, both actually and
relatively, than the number in the
United States. Civil actions OF all
kinds begun last year in Great Britain
and Ireland numbered about 1906, 900,
or one for nearly every tenth male or
female adult in the United Kingdom.
In 1902 there was an increase Of nearly
$4,000 over the previous year, and 472,-
041 actions were heard out of 1,41O,4s4
that were begun OF the number Of
appeal cases heard, one IN every three
was successful, against one in four or
five, years ago. The total cost Of Brit
ish litigation in 1903 was placed at
$5SOs,S75. The best measure Of lIti-
CATION is usually the number Of laws
or statutes, and not, contrary to gem
eral belief, the number Of lawyers. In
this country it is found generally to
be the case that the largest amount Of
litigation does not originate among
Americans, but among newcomers here,
who appeal to the courts for the adju-
dication Of matters of trifing account.
In no other country in the world are
there SO many damage suits brought
as there are in the United States.

MR.. BRYAN's DECLARATION.

The announcement Of William ]. Bryan that he
will support the nominees Of the st. Louis con-
vention is peculiarly interesting, in view Of the
assertion Of Judge Parker that he supported Mr..
Bryan not because Of, but in spite Of, the silver
plank in the Chicago and Kansas City platforms.
Mr.. Bryan now announces that he will support
Judge Parker not because Of but in spite of, his
Wall street environments.
If there is any such thing as political Goals Of
fire, Mr.. Bryan is certainly heaping them upon the
heads of Mr. Cleveland and the other gentlemen who
brought about the defeat of the democratic candi-
date in 1896 and 1900. When Mr.. Bryan was NOM
mated Mr. Cleveland did not for moment stop to
consider the consequences Of his betrayal upon the
future Of the party that had twice elevated him to
the presidency. Without regard for what had
transpired he split his party squarely in twain and
ever since has gloried in his course.
Suppose Mr. Bryan were to follow the example
set by his ilustrious opponent, the gentleman who
resides at Princeton where would the democracy
beY Whatever else may be said of Mr.. Bryan
however much his principles may have been sub
ject to criticsm-he has at all times been sincere
