LIE, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1905.
The Congressional Situation.

The people of the Second
congressional district of Mis-.
souri,, and more especially the
Democrats of this district, love
truth and fairness and honesty
and they also admire true worth
and genuine manhood and ap'
preciate faithfulness to an fficial
trust.
Such a man and such an Off
cial has Hon. w. w. Rucker
proven himself to be as con-
gresham from this district.
The same thing may be said of
his previous official records as
prosecuting attorney of Chari.
ton county and as judge OF this
judicial circuit. We don't be-
lieve that any man who ever
re presented the Second district
of Missouri in congress was
ev er as we'll posted on the needs
of his constituents or the re-
ouirements of his district as is
Judge w. W. Rucker. Not
only that. but he has worked
constantly and untiringly in the
interest of his district, which
has always been given his very
best efforts, and as conse.
q uence liberal pensions, a large
n umber of rual free mail routes
and fine public building at
Moberly with good prospects of
others at Chillicothe, Carrollton
and Trenton are the results of
his labors.
Judge Rucker is servant
who serves, and he is as eager to
perfo rm some kindly act for the
humblest resident of his district
as he would be to favor the
most Influential. The indorse.
ment he has received and IS
receiving by the people
of the district is something of
which judge Rucker ought to
and does feel proud.
1t is really amusing to see the
anti cs of one or two newspapers
| that are looking for a chance to
| fur ther their own selfish inter.
est by trying to induce Hon. E.
M. Harbor of Trenton to enter
the race for congress against
j udge Rucker next year, but
Mr.. Harbor would stand no
8 how whatever to vrest the
n omination from Rucker, who
is more than pleasing his con-
stituents, and they have no de-
sire to make a change from him
to Harber or any other good
Democrat at this time.
The one or two sheets that are
att empting to boom Harber for
congress are wasting their
sweetness on the desert air.
and they might as we'll get in
line for Rucker. They can dc

they can 10 or 12 months hence

A Question of Veracity.

weeks ago copied an article
from the COURIER stating that
the Lamkin and Mason cases
had been dismissed by the prose-
cutting attorney of Gentry
county. Mr.. Mason writes US
that it was a Misrepresentation
of facts, that the judge during
a regular session of court is
the only person that can dis
miss a case.-Salisbury Press.
Spectator.
The editor of the COURIER was
shown a letter from the law
firm of Perry e. Lyons OF
Albany, Gentry county, Mo-,
some four weeks ago stating
the prosecuting attorney OF
that county had dismissed
both the Lamkin and Mason
prosecu tions.
In further verification of what
the COURIER had to say we ap.
pend a letter from the prose-
cutting attorney himself, and we
hope that Rev. Mason, as a
matter of decency, will ego way
back and sit down." People
as a rule don't think anything
of a man who waited nearly
II months to have another
man arrested for alleged at
tempted criminal assault on his
wife-in fact, waited until after
he himself had been indicted
for criminal libel before attempt
ing to seek redress for the gross
wrong he claimed had been
done his wife.
If the Salisbury Press-Specta'
tor wishes to follow Rev. j. T.
Mason in an endeavor to ques.
ton the CoURIER's veraclty,
the poor old P.-S. will soon dis
cover the truth of an old adage
from personal experience.
Under date of July %, 1905,
the prosecuting attorney OF
Gentry county writes the editor
of the COURIER from Albany,
Mo-, as follows:
THE LETTER.
Albany, Mo-, July %, 1900
Mr.. C. P. VANDIvER,
Keytesville, Mo.
DEAR SIR In answer to your
inquiry of July 20, 1905, rela'
tive to the disposition of state

of these gentlemen that, on tht
first day of the September term
of court, I would dismiss eacf
case. The above is the exac
situation in each of these cases.
Yours Truly,
CHARLES E. GIBBANY.
Now, as matter Of fact, thl
action of Prosecuting Attorne.
Gibbany is equivalent to a dis
missal of the Lamkin and Masol
cases in vacation, but, OF course
his action ought to be sane

PLEASED WITH SHOWING.
First Baptist Church at Troy Has
Made Remarkable Strides.

Troy, March 27s-(Speeial.) 1.-The congre-
cation of the First Baptist church are
very much elated over the very fine
showing they have made in the work of
the past year. The second Sunday in
March, just passed, was the end of the
first years pastorate of Rev. w. d. D.
Hubbard and both he and the members
of his church have every reason to feel
proud of the showing made. The church
is now entirely free of debt, while some
thing like one hundred active members
have been added to the church during
this time. and one point of which the
members speak with special pride is the
fact that a number of Baptists who have
moved in from other places and had been
withholding their letters have put them
in and are now taking active part in the
church work.
Dr. Hubbard, like most successful or
ganzers, modestlv says thct he has had
nothing to do with the accomplishment
of this great work and that the credit
is entirely due to the forces under him.
The church has two strong Young Peo-
pies unions. Ladies' Aid society and a
band of Willing Workers. composed of the
" dnger women of the church, who are
III enthused and actively at work. Alto
gether the showing is a very creditable
one, and DR.. Hubbards popularity is by
no means confined to the church men,
bers, but on the other hand he is loved
by all classes of our citizens.

lent history charm. and made duh annals
living and brilliant.
Mrs. Robbins was a pupil of the Dali
las academy, and having taken all its
honors, she continued her education with
courses of readings with her cultured
parents at home. After her marriage size
kept up her studies IN language and liter
ature classes and in club circles At the
Birmingham federation she represented
the Selma Study club-formerly the
Thursday Literary club-of which she had
been an officer, and which she avowed
had been her steadfast aid in finding
good in everything.
AT Tuscaloosa she was delegate from
the Century Book club of Mobile, which
on her removal to that city had extended
to her a most cordial welcome to mem
bership. Both Mr. and Mrs. Robbins are
identified with Sienna, the families of each
having been generous contributors to the
fldelities of civic life In that enterprising
town.
questioned on her work as editor of
the club organ, Mrs Robbins answered
that 1t grew upon her, and she felt that
the page could, by concerto deffort, be-
come a great power for good. Her own
individuality has put upon it the stamp
of culture and strength: and in the years
to come. when history gathers the names
of those who helped the advance of our
state along education, industrial and moral
lines, the name of our brainy, true-hearted
and modest editor of the federation page
will have honorable mention. Today we
pay her the tribute due her talents and
their consecrated service to the cause to
which we of the federation are pledged;
today we give her our loving and CRATE
full acknowledgements of her beautiful
work, which surpasses in literary value
much for which women are paid munifi-
cent salaries, but for which she finds
, compensation in the work itself and in the
altruistic hope that it may bring benefit
and pleasure-which it most assuredly
does-to the Alabama Federation of Wo-
mems clubs.
