PARTY ORGANIZATION.

We disagree with the Rich Hill En-
terprise in the matter OF calling the
central committee together to name
the manner and date fnrnominating
county officers. We can see no good
reason for precipitating a cshspaiOn
within the party nearly a year before
the election, when in doing so every
precedent in the past quarter oil a
century is violated. Unless there are
specially strong reasons amounting
to the prevention Of q party crisis,
no radical steps should be taken
that could in any manner be con-
strued int schemes or trickery where
BY one candidate or SIT oicandidates
are to reep an advantage In the pri-
marias.
We thoroughly agree with the En-
terprise that there Is much work the
committee can and should do In the
way OF organization. Early 10 the
spring we urged the Importance oil q
complete and correct poll OF the
county to put the party workers In
touch with the voters. While some
work has been done in thatdirection
we are sorry to cay that it has moi
been complete and satisfactory. III,

time since to the committeemep tt

the ommitteemen realized the grea

LOYAL TO FRIENDS.

ave are AFRAID that the Butler Re
publican has got Lon V, and E. W.
Stephens confounded. The former
gentlemen served one term az gov.
ernor and showed his utter inca
pacity. 1t is not likely that he will
ever try for another office. The lat
ter gentleman is from Columbia,
where he has one of the most extern.
sive printing offices in the state He
Is an honorable, conscientious, chris
tian gentleman-a Democrat OF the
old school-and the Butler TINES and
the Osceola Democrat could and
would render him hesrty support.
So long as the Democratic party OF
Missouri nominate such men for OF.
fee as E. W. Stephens the usual ma.
jority OF 35, 900 will be rolled up"
The TINES can subscribe to the
latter part OF the above article from
the Osceola Democrat, that refers to
Ed. Stephens, but we beg to differ
with the writer In his estimate OF
Lon. Stephens We believe and
have repeatedly affirmed that Lon.
V. Stephens made as good a business
governor as the State ever had. He
did not pretend to Statesmanship,
but bis administration showed him
to be honest and conscientious In
the discharge of every trust, and
the business interests OF the State
we're ever safeguarded. Another
Characteristic OF Lon. ". Stephens
developed almost to the abnormal
was his loyalty and fealty to hi
friends, while for bis enemies he nevel
asked Tor or gave quarters. As q re
suit ex-governor Stephens has bite
enemies over the state who neve
miss an opportunity to give him

and loyal friends who are ever read.
to speak In his defense, and anon
the latter the editor OF The TIME

Every teacher who expects to sue

Don Carlos as a Revo!uGonist.

Vance Thompson in Success: Dol.
Carlos has his palace on the grand
canal in Venice. You may see him,
any day, driving at full speed in his
electric launch through the silent wa
terWays. AS the yellow, whizzing
launch appears the black gondolas
scatter like waterfies. In foam and
noise it passes, Don Carlos lolling on
the red cushions, his handsome, dis
satisfied wife beside him. Manned by
tlunkies in the red and yellow livery
of Spain, it passes--a thing of noise
and pomp and color, which has no
business there, drumming up the quiet
waters of the canals. Dor Carlos is
a big man physically, his body is vast
high and wide and profound: he is
rosy, blond, bearded, with bullying
eyes; SO far as the look of him goes,
he might sit on any throne with credit
this last of the kings in exile Of the
male branch of the Bourbons of Spain.
But he will never reign. This, perhaps,
may be in store for Don Jaime. his
son, who is with the Russian cavalry
in the Ear east. This pretender has
Oh, men rave died for him, truly
enough! Still in Biscay women pray
harkly for the day when he shall come
TO his own. Round about Bilbao, good
men-furious little royalists-go to Jail

lai away dS gamble money
on his chance of reigning. Don Carlos
smiles specifically in his blond beard.
He has long been one Of the lackeys
Of the court of Alphone Kill, that, but
nothing more. Whenever the ministry,
or whenever the king, has need Of a
small revolt, which may; be promptly
repressed, and add thus to government
prestige, the word is passed to the big
Dretender in Venice. Forthwith scores
of frantic little Car1ists go out to be
shot or Jailed for lin. It is. I be-
lieve, a new industry. In time the pre-
tended pretender may become a use

Mrs. III. WrIahf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism.
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof Of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every-
thing else had failed. She writes:
F two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. [
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that alta
tasted good and it caused a disturbance in NV
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures.
but nothing seemed to help me. I was adj.
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like a fine tonic. and In a
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. l have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and nnquali-
lied endorsement, or hassuch a record Of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydis
~. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

POINTERS FOR FARMERS

must be used in limited quantities or it
may kill them.
DO not be too cautious about thinning
out the plants as the remainder will
only grow the larger.
The best stock for my farmer to keep
is the kind best adapted to his farm
and his markets.
The dairy COW should be well suited
10 her business in life and not be a
mere stock or beef animal.
Feed will obviate many difficulties in
breeding and building up any animal,
and sheep are no exception. E
The future horse depends a good deal
on the treatment the young colt re-
ceiyes the first Summer of it's exist
ence.
The feeding of farm animals is often
attended by loss just because the feed
is not suitable or not properly pre-
pared.
In fattening animals, seeing to their
health and comfort is just as import
ant as giving them an abundance of
n%ourishing food.
In selecting a horse for any purpose
other than draft a very wide breast
should be avoided for in most cases a
horse with this formation paddles when
he trotS.
The churn should never be filled more
h half full and then if the temper
allure is just right it will churn easily.

many shoots which will need trim

soon as they make their appearance.
1t is important to milk clean from
the first as the retention Of milk In the
udder Injuries it and tends. to decrease
the yield.
Sheep bear a strong relationship to
mixed husbandry, especially where high
farming is followed and any. attempt to
separate the two will prove disastrous.

One of the chief lacks in stone fruits
is potash in the soil. This is especially
true Of peaches which are supposed to
do better on sandy soilsswhere potash
is usually deficient. Liberal dressing
with wood ashes will be found bene-
fetal.
Time is always lost and labor spent,
at least partially in vain, whenever the
crops are not cultivated sufficiently to
insure their highest yield n when
ever n piece of work is done in such
a manner as to necessitate it's being
done over again in a short time.
