The managers of the Worlds
Fair did not request the attend
ance OF Gov. Dockery at the open
ing; or, rather, he was given no
place on the programme. The
slight is ineXcusable, and the pro-
motors of the Exposition are open
to the censure hat has resulted.
Gov. Dockery is an able man and
faithful official; his administra-
ton is a credit to the State, vindi-
eating the trust reposed in him.
Why was he ignored? An answer
is due from those having the open
ing ceremonies in charge, but it
will never be given. In the mean
time, those materially interested
in the success of the Fair may rest
assured that the slight, or Gin
advertence," if you prefer, is not
propa eating an excess of zeal and
goodwill among Missourians.

The man who cannot see the
self-righteous assumption of Folk
in his addendum to the Saline
county pledge is blind indeed. He
says he will not execute the pledge
to support the Democratic nomi-
nees where known boodlers are on
the ticket! 1t is the first time in
forty years that | have heard that
a Democratic candidate considered
IL necessary to SO safeguard him
self against the possible action of
his party. Mr.. Folk evidently con-
slders himself SO much better than
the Democratic party that he fears
1t may not be able to climb to his
heavenly plane, and he gives notice
that he will not descend to the
common level. If he is not a
hypocrlte he has all the outward
seeming OF one-that is, to those
who have learned lin the rough
school OF experience to d~istrust the
os~tentatious assumption of virtue.
NO man pledges himself to support
a known boodler or a thief, for no
such q candidate will receive hon
ors at the hands Of any party and
should any man placed on the
ticket be afterward shown to be
dishonest, he would be displaced
by the organization before cleo
ton day. This has been done

IT seems that when a man be-
comes a chronic kicker and grum-
bier it soon gets to be an easy
matter for him to magnify or dim
mute to suit his purpose. Phil.
Hafner in the last issue of his pa
per, the Scott County Kicker, says
that "Sam Cook distributed two
hundred thousand dollars of the
peoples money among the faithful
organs" for printing the constitu-
tional amendments in 1902. The
session acts of 1903 show that the
amount appropriated for publish
ing the amendments was S24,O51.-
5S-not one-eighth of the amount
stated by the Kicker. | am not pro-
testing or complaining, mind you;
only setting down the true figures.
When the Kicker tells ne-eighth
truth tits to be commended. The
oasis in the desert is all the more
blessed because it's environment is
OF burning waste and sitting sand.

TO those fool Democrats who
have been contending that in the
event of Folks nomination for
Governor he will receive a large
Republican vote, as we'll as sup
port from Republican papers, we
commend the following from last
Mondays Globe Democrat:
The fact that Republicans have
been allowed to name the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor is
the most creditable thing the Mis-
souri, Democrats have done for
thirty years. AS the next step the
Republicans will proceed to nomi-
nate and elect one of their own
number for the position, and he
will be a far better representative
OF sound politics in both a State
and National sense. One eccentric
Democratic paper has undertaken
to name the Republican candidate
for Governor, but the operation
can be worked only one way. If
the Democrats don't stop their talk
about Cook and Allen, the Repub-
leans may be compelled to fill that
part OF the Democratic ticket also.

F0RCER
WANTED HERE ARRESTED A
MILES CITY AND OFFICER
GONE FOR HIM.
William Lukens, Charged With Pass
ing Worthless Check for Over Hun
dred Dollars on Business Manager
Of the Three Rules Store, in Limbo
After Long Hunt.

Under Sheriff Charles Yund left or
the noon train today for Miles City
Mont. with~a warrant for William
Lukens, who is wanted here for forg
cry and who is believed also to have
stolen a valuable saddle from the Riv
erside ranch. Lukens was arrested a,
Miles City yesterday, on information
furnished by Sheriff AL Cook, and
has consented to return without re
QUESTION. although Mr.. Yund will go ID
Helena if the fellow changes his mind
before the officer can get him out OF
the state. Mr.. Yund is expected home
about the middle of next week with
his prisoner.
Lukens was employed on the River.
side ranch until last February, when
he came to town. bringing with him
a check for $104 purported to have
been signed by Mr.. w. B. Emmons, the
owner of the ranch. The check was
presented to Mr.. R. L. Hurt, of the
Three Rules store, who paid Lukens
the money on it. The latter at once
left the city, and the next morning,
when the check went to the First Ma
tional bank, with the other checks TAX
en- by the store during the day, it was
pronounced a forgery and payment
was refused. There was doubt enough
about the genuineness of the signature
to cause Mr.. Hurt to take the precua.
ton to send it out to the ranch and
have Mr.. Emmons pass upon it. The
latter at once declared it spurious.
All this took time. and by the time
the officers gained possession of. the
case Lukens had left and concealed
his trail. 1t was believed he had gone
to his old home in Illinois, and word
was sent there. He did not show up,
but there came back word that led the
officers to search in another direction,
the result of which was his arrest yes
terday at Miles City. Under Sheriff
Yund wrote to the sheriff at that place
that he believed Lukens had headed
in that direction, and late yesterday
afternoon came q telegram of his ap,
prehension.
Mr.. Hurt will push the prosecution,
not so much for the loss of the money
as an example to others who try to
pass checks upon him hat are not
good.

The First Pony Express.

From St. Joe. Mo-, to Sacramento.
Cal, in twenty-one days, That sounds
archaic, but until the spring of 1861 the
fastest overland mail had been able to
do no better. To remedy this intoler-
able condition, Senator Quinn of Cali

Pony Express. Failing of government
support, he succeeded in interesting
Colonel Russell, of the great firm OF

share toward welding east and west.
