Fred Hudson for State Senator.

The republicans of Linn county are
delighted with the nomination Of
Hon. Fred S. Hudson, of Chillicothe,
for state senator. He was nominated
by the fourth district republicans in
convention at Chillicothe Tuesday on
the eightythird ballot. Mr.. Hudson
is fine lawyer and in point of ability
and party service was entitled to the
nomination and the convention could
not have made better choice. The
district is composed Of the counties of
Harrison, Mercer, Grundy, Putnam

can, Lieutenant Governor Mckinley
having been elected senator from that
district six years ago by ever 5000
majority.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
The Inmates Of the Soldiers Home win Here.
after be Entitled to Vote. (,

Judge Henry Lamm handed dowr
decision Saturday reversing the de
cision of Judge W.. M. Evans Of The
Twentieth judicial district in which
it was held that the occupants Of sol
diers' homes were not entitled to vote
under the constitution of the state OF
Missouri.
Every old soldier, union or confed-
crate, and every patriotic citizen
ought to read this decision and we re-
gret that we cannot take sufficient
space in which to reprint it.
The decision of Judge Evans, who,
by the way, adds to his judicial duties
the farther duties of chairman of the
democratic state committee, directly
affected only the union veterans at the
st. James soldiers home, but indirect
ly applied to the confederate veterans
at the Higginsville home.
The decision of the lower court is
that Of narrow minded jurist who
follows the letter of the law strictly
without seeking even to discover the
exact meaning of even that, while
Judge Lamm's decision is that of
broad-minded jurist who interprets the
law, where it is obscure as it is in this
case to narrow-minded man, by the
intent of its trainers.
Judge Lamm's decision, in which the |
other members of the court concurred,
settles the question in Missouri, at
least, that soldier who has fought
for what he believed to be right is not
deprived of the right to vote, because
in his old days he has accepted home
from the state or nation.--Gazette.

Browning Gets the First.

A large crowd witnessed the first
ball game Of the season in the new
ball park in Laclede Thursday after
noon. Browning and Laclede were
the opposing teams and good game
was played, although the final score
was rather one-sided. Tharp and
Brendahl were the opposing pitchers
and both did gilt-edge work. The
Laclede boys showed lack of batting
practice and could not hit when hits
were needed. A bad error or tive
helped to swell Browning's score.
Following is the summary:

when the sisters lend the charm O
their presence and their sweet voice,
accompany the flute, the cornet OF
the violin; or when the subtle .toucI
of their delicate fingers calls forth the
richest harmony from the harp or the

snatched from the haunts of iniquity
by the bewitching music of their sis

the influence which the heavenly art
holds over the heart of man, they
would encourage its cultivation in the
minds Of their children. The rum
seller well knows the power of music
and employs it to entice to his den the
youth Of our land. Why not fight
him with his own weapons and make
the music of our homes so deliclously
beautiful, so Immensely superior to
that Of the grog shop, that our young
men will no longer be attracted and
entertained by the DEVILS musicians,
andthus remove one stumbling block
from their feet?

How much happier we would all be
if we would but attempt to build in

sweeter our lives would be if we
would but encourage, by kind words,
those of our fellow-men and fellow
women who have fallen by the way
side; extend helping hand, whisper
words Of encouragement in their ears,
and oh! how much brighter our lives
and theirs would be! Give no heed
to the tattler and gossiper, turn a deaf
ear and tell them that you are other
wise engaged when you find them in
clined to talk, and very soon the tat
tiers will find their profession gone.
