they will keep their word. Many,
perhaps most Of the metropolitan
papers, together with the independ-
ent press OF Missouri, to which must
be added some Missouri Republican
papers, advocate the same course.
"Mr. Cook declared himself public
ly to be as much in favor OF purity
In legislation and the strict enforce
ment Of the law as Mr.. Folk himself,
and pledged himself to uphold the
hands Of the governor Thera can
be no question that he was sincere
In his utterances. No one denies his
splendid ability.
"He has made one OF the best sec
retaries of state Missouri ever had,
and will continue to do so for four
years more II his life Is spared.
CAS- all honest men-Democrats,
Republicans, Populists, Prohibition
lists or what not-desire purity in
legislation, together with a fearless
and impartial enforcement Of the
law, all they have to do to secure
these ends Is to elect the entire Dem
oeratic ticket. So let's hear no more
about Folk Democrats or Cook
Democrats, but show by our works,
our conduct and our ballots that we
are plain Missouri Democrats, the
best variety under the sun.

Clinton, Mo, Sept. 81, 1904,
ED. TINES, Butler, Mo.
Dear Sir.-It is with sadness that
make known, through your columns,
to his many friends the death OF
Judge d. C. Edwards, who died at
his home, four miles north OF Clinton,
at midnight on Saturday, Sept. II.
His health had been failing for the
past year, but he had not been con.
fined to his bed until the last three
weeks, since which time he has failed
rapidly.
The immediate cause of his demise
wasa complication of Bright's dis-
ease and diabetes. The funeral SCI
vices we're held on Monday afternoon
at two o'clock. A short service We
held OF the home by Rev. Walker, OF
Bates county, an old-time friend Of
Judge Edwards. His words were
full OF comfort and carried with them
conviction Of the happiness Of i'm
mortality. Rev. Max, pastor OF the
Baptist church, conducted the ser
vices at Eaglewood cemetery, where
the remains were laid to rest.
A FRIEND.

SECURE GOLD NINE
KenOsha Gold Mining Company Will
Open the Old Severn hirty-Nine
Mine on Deadman's Flat.
MINE ONCE FAMOUS PROPERTY

The secret of the Kenosha Gold Min
ing Company, recently organized in
this city is out and it is announced that
the company of Kenosha capitalists
will open the old Seven-T Thirty. Nine
mine in Deadman's Flat, California.
G. w. Root, the president of the COM
pany, and Hamer Reber have gone
out into California to open up the mine
and an effort will be made to place it
on paying basis. Deadman's Flat
and the old Seven-T Nine mine
are famous together. The mine was
at one time supposed to be one of the
richest mining propositions in Cali.
fornia but for some reason the company
in charge of it fell down and the gold
was never taken out in any great
quantities. For years the mine was
left neglected and deserted, the legiti-
mate prey of any man who came along
and many of the miners have been
making their living for ages out of it
with the aid of only pick and a pan.
There is no doubt but that the property
owned by the Kenosha Company is
rich in ore but the next thing is to get
it out President Root of the Kenosha
Mining Company claims that the COM
pany has capital large enough to de-
velop and work the mine. The open
ing of the smine has been quite the
sensation in the Grass Valley District
and the Western mining papers speak
of the venture of Root and his col
leagues as one that may prove to be
fortuneIwinner. Mr.. Reber will be
on the spot to look after the interests
of the Kenosha people who are inter-
ested in the deal and it is expected that
in another year great results will be
achieved by the mine. It is stated
that practically all the stock Of the
company is now held by people in Ke-
nosha and in,the other villages in the
county.

BABY SMOTHERED
Little Son OF Mr.. and Mrs. James w.

months old son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
W. Rose met death in peculiar man.
ner at the family residence on Main
street last Saturday evening when he
was smothered under a feather bed.
remains and examined into the circum-
stances of the death held that an in
quest was not necessary as the death
of the child had evidently been an ac-
cident. On Tuesday the remains of
the little boy were taken to Chicago
and after short funeral service at one
of the Jewish churches they were in
tered in the family plat at Waldheim
cemetery.
The accident was one of the saddest
that ever occurred in Kenosha.
The little boy, who had just begun to
todd1e about the house, was a great fav-
orite with the father and mother and
their friends. On Saturday evening
Mrs. Rose had put the little boy to bed
about eight o'clock and as she was
busy in the lower part of the house,
she had no occasion to go to the bed
room until after midnight. After the
saloon had been closed up Mrs. Rose
went to the family bed to give the boy
some nourishment. She failed to find
him when she turned down the covers
and a search revealed the fact that he
was buried under heavy feather bed.
The marks1on the face of the little fel.
low showed that he had made a strug-
gle to free himself but he had not been
strong enough to lift the heavy feath-
er bed. The child had evidently been
restless in his sleep and in some man
ner he had crawled down in under the
bed. His cries for help had been
smothered by the bed and no one heard
him. Even his little brother who was
sleeping in the same room had heard
no cries during the night. Quite a
number of the Jewish people of the
city went to Chicago to attend the
funeral.

Sando Storino Caught in the Bark
Grinder at Aliens Tannery
and is Instantly Killed.
HIS HEAD IS TERRIBLY MANGLED.
Man Had just Gone to Work for the Eve
ming When He Slipped and Fell
Into the Machinery.

Sando Storino, an Italian twenty
seven years of age, employed as bark
grinder at the N. r. Aliens Sons
tannery, met with an awful death
shortly after six o'clock Sunday even
ing, when his head was caught in the
teeth of one of the machines used for
grinding bark. The man was instant
~ killed, and before the machinery
could be stopped his head had been
ground almost to pulp.
The fatal accident occurred just
after the night gang of men had gone
to work. Storino had been working
less than five minutes when his foot
slipped and he fell into the p0nderous
machine. His companions seeing the
awful fate In store for him, made an
effort to rescue him, but their efforts
were futile, and the mans head passed
in between the knives and the top of
it was. mangled in a terrible manner.
AS soon as possible the machinery was
reversed and the remains removed
from the machine. Coroner Lans-
downe was notified Of the accident and
he hurried to the tannery and viewed
the remains. He summoned a jury
to investigate the accident. AS
soon as the jury had viewed the re-
mains they were removed to the Han.
sen morgue where they are now being
held pending the finding of the Coro-
ner's jury.
Storino was born in Italy, but had
resided in Kenosha for some time. He
had been an employee of the taHnery
since his arrival in this country, and
was great favorite among the Ital.
ians employed there.
Just before leaving his native land
to come to this country, Storino had
been married and he had been work
ing to save money to bring his bride to
this country. He had just secured the
money needed and had intended to
send today for the woman. He has one
brother residing in Kenosha, who is
also employed at the tannery and was
one of the witnesses of his brothers.

CONSUL SEEKS GIRL
Representative of King Edward in Chi
cagO Seeks to Find Lucy Lilly
Johnson Formerly Of Kenosha.
HAS BEEN MISSING FOR A YEAR

Chief of Police Reinold has received
letter from the Hon. William Wynd-
ham, Consul of Great Britain in Chi
cago, asking that the chief take steps
to locate Mrs. Lucy Lilly johnson,
young English girl who formerly re.
sided on Elizabeth street in this city.
La the letter the consul states that the
young woman has not been heard of
for over year and that her mother is
very anxious to get some trace of her.
The mother is an English lady of affiu-
ence and after using many schemes to
find her daughter she appealed to the
representative of King Edward. Thus
far the young woman has not been To-
Gated IN Kenosha. There are several
women in Kenosha who bear the name
of Lille Johnson but none of them
seems willing to admit that she is
the party wanted by the English rep
resentative in Chicago. Mrs Johnson
is not known at the address given by
the consul and the people ia that
neighborhood state that they have
never heard of her. The large number
of people in the city bearing the name
Johnson has made the task of the
chief decidedly difficult one.
The letter from the girls mother to
the consul stated that she had last
heard of her daughter in December
1902 and at that time the girl stated
that she was living in Kenosha. The
police believe that the woman worked
in this city as domestic and that she
has gone to some of the larger cities in
the state to secure better wages for her
work. It is limited that the girl was a
member of good English family and
that there is something of romance
connected with her corli1g to this
country and to Kenosha. Of her hus-
band nothing is known and it seems
that his name is not even known to
the mother of the girl.

German Ladies' Aid Society Entertain at q

One of the most enjoyable social
events that ever occurred at Schlitz

when the German Ladies Aid Society

each Of the gentlemen was given tie
and with this necktie they were to find

partner wore an apron made of the

partners until the early morning.
