Senatorial Bribery Case.

Jefferson City, Mo-, August PA
special term OF the Cole county cir
cult court will be convened here Sep
TENDER 5. with Judge Waller w.
Graves, OF Butler, on the bench, for
the hearing OF the senatorial brib:ry
trials. The first OF the two cases to
be taken up will be that OF State
Senator Frank 81. Farris OF Steel
vile, whose former trial resulted in
a hung jury, which stood, however,
eight for conviction to four for &C.
quittal. As an outgrowth OF that
trial one OF the attorneys for the de.
tense was later indicted for embrac-
cry. Senator Farris is charged with
having accepted from Daniel j. Kel.
ley, the legislative agent for tie
Royal baking powder trust, $1,000
for his vote against the repeal Of the
bill prohibiting the use OF alum in
the manufacture Of baking powder.
The trial, 1t is thought, will continue
but two days. At it's close State
Senator Charles A. Smith OF st.
Louis, indicted at the time the in
dictment against Farris was return
ed, and for a similar offense, will be
placed on trial.
Attorney General Crow states that
the state will be ready for trial, and
declares that he is anxious to have
the cases disposed Of at this term Of
court and before his term OF Office
expires. 1t is believed new evidence
will be introduced by the state al
this hearing which 1t was not per-
mitted to offer at the former trial
and that it Is OF character which
will materially strengthen the states
case,

Here is a great living truth from
the Sedalia Democrat. 1t is just as
good policy for Butler as it Is Tor
Sedalia. Our business men should
read and adopt the plan suggested.
Don't wait for your competitor or
your neighbor to bring trade to your
door. Do some hustling for your
self. The Democrat says: "Every
business man in Sedalia should begin
the policy Of continuous, intelligent,
iudicious advertising. This policy
would certainly largely increase the
retail trade Of the city, and would Of
itself create business boom. The
appearance Of o firms advertise
ment, even II the firm has no compe-
tition, will increase the firms trade,
for the advertisement suggests to the
newspaper reader the need Of GER
tain article-a need that might Meth.
or be felt nor supplied busfor the sug-
Qestion thus made. Advertising has
made the great department stores in
the big cities. 1t 10 proportionally
valuable to the stores and shops Of

Springfield is particularly iortun-
ate in having trains scheduled in
such shape that visitors need not
stay over night to attend the celebra.
ton. The trains run so that the peo.
pie can go in and depart on the same
day and at the same time hear all Of
the program.
"The keynotes Of the campaign will
be given at this meeting. The meet

THAT ANONYMOUS FARMER. "

into the Free Press, and then into

10 Butler attempted to fool the far
mer in 8 series Of articles over the
signature of "Uncle John" Now, it

in Butler, In proximity to that Office.
SO he was certified upirom Cortland.
The Republican Press Ia producing a
mighty poor counterfeit Of "Uncle
John" In a Farmer" located at
Hume. While "Uncle Johns" srti.
cles never created the revolution in
county politics that the author and
publisher hoped for, the articles did
possess some merit from a literary
view, and furnished some amusement
for the reader. The bungling coun-
terieit presented By Farmer" pre-
sents neither the merit to entertain
or instruct, but the whole object
seems to be to confuse the mind OF
the reader by questions and sugges.
tions that a ten year-old Bates
county boy would deserve punish
msnt for advancing.
Farmer" is pretending to ana.
lyze the Financial Statement OF Bates
county for 1903-4, as published this
spring, but instead ofs broad-guaged
analysis and pointing out wherein
the money OF the people had been
misappropriated or squandered, or
unwisely used, this critic writing over
a false and misleading non de plume,
contents himself by picking out the
large amounts as they appear In the
statement, and endeavor to cast sus-
picion. by complaining that every
item In the bills ought to be set out.
When THE TINES, in allfairness, call
cd attention OF Farmer" to the
fact that every bill allowed by the
court is set out In minute detail, and
is scrutinized by each member OF
court, and after allowance Is filed
away by the county clerk and open
to inspection at any time to any tax
payer, or citizen OF Bates county,
that individual comes back with a
plea that we are trying to make ex-
cuses and get away from answering
his questions.
Every man who ever did any bust.
ness with the state, county, town
ship, school district, city or town, or
any other incorporated body, knows
that when bill is presented to any
OF these bodies, that the items are
added up aud a warrant drawn for

these warrants are set forth in 6

CLEVER DOCTOR
Cured m 20 Years Trouble without
Any Medicine.

A wise Indiana physician cured
90 years stomach disease without any
medicine, as his patient tells:
II had stomach trouble for 20 years,
tried allopathic medicines, patent
medicines and all the simple rene
dies suggested by my friends, but
grew worse all the time.
"Finally, a doctor who is the most
prominent physician in this part Of
the State told me medicine would do
me no good. only irritating my stom-
.sch and making 1t worse-that | must
look to diet and quit drinking coffee,
81 cried out in alarm, Quit drink
ing Coffee! Why, what will | drink"
"'Try Postum said the doctor. i
drink 1t, and you will like it when 1t
is made according to directions, with
cream, for it is delicious. and has
none Of the bad effects coffee has
well, that was two years ago, and
i am still drinking Postum. My stom-
ach is right again, and / know doctor
hit the nail on the head when he de-
cided coffee was the of all my
trouble. l only wish | had quit It
years ago-and drunk Postum in its
place." Name given by Postum Co.,

Never too late to mend. Ten days

works wonders. There's a reason.

humble means. found her hfoless on the
floor. She had died of starvation.
The young woman had not deliberately
starved to death, nor was her cupboard
empty. For two weeks solicitous friends
had urged her to eat, and used some OF
their scanty savings to buy the grief
stricken woman dainty and relishtns
food nevp' provided for their
tables: but in the fourteen days since
her husband was taken. dying. from
their apartment. h has not eaten a

Mr.. Caksel was q Woodworking young

which she never recovered.
From the day Mrs. Cassel eturnsd
from the funeral she had not spoken
a ~ha1f-dozen words. She had received
all the sympathy n encouragement
from nor neighbors and friends in
pathetic silence. She was hys-
terical nor violent in the expression of
her grief, but she seemed crushed with
melancholy that amounted TO a serious
physical malady. She made a few I'M
successful efforts to eat Of the jelly
and broth that was laid before her, but
turned away feebly to the fondling OF
the few little trinkets that remained to
her as souvenirs of her husband.
Mrs. Louisa Wellzau. her nearest
n~eighbor, said to-day that to her knowl-
edge the young a not eatsn a
crumb oil food in ten days. She was
so weak yesterday hat she could barely

less. she turned away from the food
and stimulants which she was urged to
eat. When last seen alive she was
sitting by the front window OF her a
looking out into the street.
She was found to-day stretched upon
the floor. where she had slipped from
her chair. She was fully dressed n
