GOVERNOR AT NEWPORT.
Discusses Senatership and Govemorship With jaekson County Voters at Court
 House Wednesday Afternoon.

cfCWQ OI J0CkSOu COuIlCy NVVckS heard Governor Davis in the cir cult court room Wednesday after noon discuss the issues and men of the present campaign. The speaker never fails to get down on level with and get into a good humor, his crowds and his knocks and raps were too good to let pass without laughter and applause. He seemed chagrined over the smallness of his aud fence, as the seating capacity of the court room was not exhaust ed and laid the failure to ''set the woods afre" in Jackson county to lack of advertising his date here.
 He reviewed the acts of his administration, the fight against the trusts and for higher railroad assessments, showing how much more the latter contributed in taxes than under any previous governor. He took a shot at Senator Berry here, as to how the railroads had escaped taxa tion on a large part of their prop erty during his administration under an unconstitutional act and how Governor Hughes, his successor, had forced them to pay taxes on all their holdings.
 Berry was also scored for his vote against the Hatch anti-op- tion bill. The governor urged upon the farmers united action in the holding of thelr cotton for reasonable prices and in favor of legislation to stop the specula- tive bdiy y3iiiHig and~ selling Of cots ton, which fixed the price against $ the farmer. whom he termed 2 slave under present conditions to the gamblers in futures. Toward the wind-up of his ad- dress Governor Davis hopped in- to the gubernatorial arena. to give expl ession to his opinion of the popular sttorney-general whom he cannot control, Bob Rogers. He declared that he could afford to be beaten for the senate, but he or any honest man could not afford to see Rog- CTS governor and he wished the newspapers to so quote him.
 He told his story of purchas- ing the Rogers note endorsed by Cook, the boodler, and had a bunch of the Autographed dup licates to distribute. He left for Rogers to tell the name of the disreputable friend he secur- ed the note from and warned the voters against Rogers, whom he feared might pardon Cox and Cook after Rhoton secured their conviction.
 After making a strong plea for the support of Jackson county in his race for the senate, he closed his two hours address and left at once for his appointment at Tuckerman that night. No reference was made by him to his refusal to sup with Powell Clayton.

The Fourth of July meeting scheduled to take place Wednesday evening failed to materialize, but it has now been definitely arranged to have a meeting at the town hall at S:30 Monday evening. This year we will not have as much expense in getting up celebration, as the town now owns the race track, ball grounds and stand, and with slight effort and some money we can have rousing celebration. There is plenty of water also this year, and the track and grounds can be wet down to avoid the dust that was so disagreeable year ago. Come out to the meeting at town hall Mon day evening.

At the meeting of the board of supervisors last Monday the matter of the disposition of the county monies was settled. The minutes of the meeting, published elsewhere in this issue, show the division made between the two banks and the rate of interest to be paid for the use of the money for the next year. The board decided that three per cent was about the right rate, and while this is less than that ad- vocated by the NEWS, still we feel gratified to know that we have been vindicated in the stand taken, even though the rate be less. The NEWS further desires to compliment the board of supervisors and the dis trict attorney on their action in this matter, as they have shown they are running the county's business and are competent to look after the same. We regret the unpleasant nesses that have arises, and as all differences have been settled, trust that no feeling over the matter will be harbored.

The thanks of the entire commu- nity are due and are freely given to the members of the Eagles band which rendered such noble. service during the exercises on Memorial Day. Besides playing a number of pieces at the hall, the band headed the procession to the ceme- tery. playing appropriate music during the march each way and at the graves. The boys are improv- ing wonderfully in their work and should receive kind words and fnan- cial assistance. Something should be done toward raising funds to build band stand on the plaza then they would proba ply render us an occasional concert, which would be very appropriate and en- joyable during the summer even- ings.

Bridegroom in a Trunk.

A dispatch from Omaha, Neo', says
that because he ran short of money on
his Wedding tour and had ouly CASH
enough for one ticket, George Francis
,ent his wife through from Denver to
Chicago on a passenger train, and ne
himself attempted to make the tnp
in a trunk as his wile's baggage. He
was taken out OF the trunk at Omaha
Saturday night about three-qusrters dead
but the wife got through her journey all
right They had secured large trunk,
nut in some provisions and water, braced
il thoroughly, cut holes in it for air, and
after Francis took his place the box was
securely locked and strapped. Then It
was taken to the depot and checked
through to Chicago.
After being smashed around, the trunk
was heayed into Uuion Pacific baggage
car and the Journey began. just before
reaching Omaha, Saturday night, the
baggage-man heard a groan from a pile
of baggage. An investigation resulted
in his locating the source. and with a
gun in his hand, he demanded to know
who wasiuside, threatening to fire through
the trunk unless he was answered.
In munled tones came the answer and
the s'ory, with a request that the trunk
be broken open and the man inside be
liberated. This was done and Francis was
assisted out. His trunk had been delayed
one train, and his water bottles had
broken soon after the trunk was fastened.
He had been without water for nearly
two days. He was taken to police
headquarters and later released. at was
the most remarkable ride ever took,
and don't want,auy more, said Francis.
