The Rich Hill tribune. (Rich Hill, Mo.) 1903-1911, 1905-08-03

When a Democratic organ can
make no defense it covers up.
If our present sheriff were a Re
publican you would have seen a
whole column in the Times on
the occurance at Rich Hill. But
as he is a Democrat and a Great
ure of the Times, that organ re
spectfully declines to tell its
readers one word about the dis
graceful affair. If Nose Morris
were a Republican the Times
would be the first fellow 10 de.
mand his resignation. II is the
same old story as to whose OK
did the goring.-Bates County
Record.
Yes, and we suspect there
would be others demanding his
resignation or there would be
such a party muss that the But
Ter Post-ofhce fight would be en-
tirely forgotten and be a regular
loyefeast in comparison.

We often note the expression
"a confidential affair of the Dem
ocratic party, " and We also note
that the Bates county Democracy
has a confidential affair" on its
hands that sticks tighter than
printers ink. So confidential in
fact that not one of its papers
dare say a word about it. A few
of the knowing ones know all
about it, and If they don't take
more Of the fellows" into their
confidence they'll lose a whole
lot of votes next year.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-WHEAT-Trading in
the wheat pit today was exceedingly
quiet and the market was somewhat cas-
leF' moderate decline IN the price OF
wheat at Liverpool and reports of i'm
proved weather in Argentina were main
" responsible for the lack OF nrmness.
May opened unchanged to 4sc lower, at
SSss98S3ze During the early trading prices
held within these figures. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts OF
BOO cars, against All cars q year ago.
The low point for May was reached at
nrln on moderate buying by Ieadlng Duns,
May advancing to SSzsc. The close was
firm with prices at the highest point OF
the day. The closing quotation showed
May up 9sc, at sSzsc.
CORN-There was a fair. selling of corn
by commission houses because OF an ex-
cess in local receipts. The market in con-
sequence was a trifie easier. Lower prices
at Liverpool caused additional selling.
May opened unchanged to shade lower,
at 433s@44c, and held around these figures.
The market became firm in sympathy
with wheat, May going up to 44Ac- The
close was firm, with May up 7s@34e' at
OATs-Oats were slightly easier in
sympathy with other grains. The volume
OF trading was small. May opened IN
changed to a shade lower at 32AQ32sscs
and sold off to 321zc.
PROVISIONS-Pro were firm on
fairly active demand by packers and
shorts. Smaller receipts of live hogs
formed q basis of strength May pork

Among our circle of friends there
was a very warm supporter Of the S.
P. c. A, who, though earnest and sin
cere, sometimes bored by overzeal. We
set traps to lead her into an admission
of the evil in animal nature, but she
always managed to make out a good
case for her dumb friends. One day
we felt that we at last had a case in
which she could have no possible sym
pathy for the animal. It was a dread
full story, published in a newspaper, of
a baby who had been literally eaten
alive by a large and ferocious cat. We
gave her the clipping, and watched
with satisfaction the tears gather in
her eyes as she read. We've got her
now!'' we murmured, triumphantly.
Finally she looked up, and We all held
our breath to listen to her comment.
She spoke in heart-broken tones.
''Thinki" she said, 'tjust think how
hungry the poor cat must have been!"

Not on the Printed Programme.

While the musicians are making re-
pairs, a shrill little wall floats from an
other corner. It is not a fiddle, it
sounds more like a baby. We steer a
course along the swarming, boisterous
floor, and discover an anteroom lead
ing from the main hall, and a row of
cots decorated with no less than seven
babies. Mother comes in to soothe her
wailing charge, unerringly selects her
Treasure from out the confusing as
other dance. Or perhaps baby is lug
ged out to blink sleepily at its mothers
breast while she sits and gossips with
her neighbors. Now you feel thankful
that the gallant graybeard who won
the race with his sorrel did not have
a brace of infants to spill out with
Maria when his buggy began to shed
it's wheels.
The men have peeled their coats and
the stiff collars whose cut-throat tor
ture can no longer be endured. Now
and then a gallant is seen stealing
through a door that leads to the woods.
Presently he returns wiping his mouth
with the back of his hand, and with
perceptible Frightening of spirit and
increased pliability of limb. COmmun-
ion with the stars is not usually so
bracing as this, even in high attitudes.
If you care to follow one Of these fur
tive excursions you may see the truant

GRIGGs BOYS ARE AT HOME.
Topeka Football Players Here to Spend
Holidays.

Arthur Griggs, Frank Griggs and
BILLY" Rice, the three Topeka boys
who went to the Western university
of Pennsylvania last fall, and played
on the football team there, have re-
turned to Topeka to spend Christmas.
They expect to return to Pennsylvania
after the holidays
Rice has a very bad shoulder as a
result of his seasons work, and may
never be able to play the game again.
His shoulder blade was broken early
in the season. About three weeks
later he tried to play and the bone was
again broken. Since then he has been
unable to play, and his shoulder is
likely to be permanently weakened.
There has been dissensiOn in the W.
q. P. team, and Fanny Mehl has
Joined the insurgents and left the
reservation. The fight is about the
retention of Arthur st. Ledger Mosse,
the old K. U. captain, as coach.
Arthur Griggs said today: '"The
fight on Mosse is being made by only
who wants to get Moses job, and he
has stirred up some following. MehI is
one OF the fellows who got into that
gang. I think they will keep Mosse.
don't think Mehl will be home for
Christmas
Asked concerning the football game
as played in the east, Griggs said:
They seem to play a harder game
back there than we do here I don't
know just why it is, but they seem to
come harder; everybody hits the line
harder, and the struggle is more fierce.
They certainly do come. I think our
hardest game this season was with the
Pennsylvania State college. We had a
very successful season.
