Henry R. Brown, the liveryman,
was thrown down and tEampled upon
while attempting to stop a runaway
horse last Saturday and the wonder is
that he escaped with comparatively
SLIGHT injuries. Harold Schaffner was
riding a horse from the lower barn on
Flat street to the main barn when the
animal took the bits in its teeth and
began to run. The boy chung 10 ms
seat but it was apparent that he coula
not stop the horse. Near the Yalley
Grain company's building Mr.. Brown
ron into the street and tried to stop
tbe frightened animal but instead OF
slackening its speed the horse ran into
M Brown, stepping on one OF his
feet and tearing the shoe therefrom,;
NJ Brown was thrown to the ground
Nv the force of the collision and 1t
lacked TO everyone as if he must be
+ramnled to death. Fortunately. how
ever. the horses hoofs did not lnJure
him. Mr.. Brown was picked up un.
conscious and taken to the once OF
bic stable where a physician was sum-
n,ored immediately An examination
revealed that he was badly bruised
about the body and arms, while just pc
low his eyes were deep gashes prob
ablv made by the bit in the horse s
month. These wounds necessltated
several stitches and the doctor wished
Mr. Brown to take an anesthetie, but
as he had an appointment at 2 0 'clock
:, +be afternoon he was unwilling to
do So and bore the painful operation
, ~ going about his work as
soon as it was completed.

WILL BE? WELL HARDLY.

The financial affairs OF Bates coun-

county. The Republican. Press says

seems rather strange that is should

But wherea machine has a good grip

In such matters.
The above is from the Standard

Its bill into Bates county's internal
affairs in order to assist its Repubn.

Not even that paper has so far ques

New Law Respecting
Township Trustees.

Section $3.50 relating to the an.
nual settlement OF the township
treasurers with the county clerk was
repealed and q new section enacted
instead. The new law provides that
the township treasurers shall settle
their accounts with the county court
at Its first and third regular terms
each year. These terms are held be.
ginning the first Monday In February
and August. The law requires the
treasurer to account for ali moneys
or funds received, from whom and on
what account, and the amount paid
out for school purposes to the vari-
GUS districts in the township. The
law provides that the county court
shall examine the vouchers and war.
rants, and II the accounts are found
to be correct and kept according to
law, the court shall make an order
certifying to the same. The law fur.
ther provides that the township
treasurer shall, on the first Mondays
In April, September and December,
send to the district clerks OF each dis
trict in bis township q detailed
statement Of the amount OF money
on hand, amount received, the
paid out and to whom and
Tor what purpose, and the bal.
ance .on hand. Section 9789, r.
3. 1899, provides the form and man.
ner Of keeping the township treasur-
'r's school accounts. Sections 9766
and 9790 relate to the same subject
The county court has notified the
Iownship trustees to come IN and Set
lie on August LIST according TO the
provisions Of this new Law.

We trust that the efforts being put
forth by the negro voters OF Missouri
to secure recognition on the Repub.
lican ticket, In the person OF Nelson
Crews, the negro clerk OF the police
courtin Kansas City, for Lieut.. Gov.
ernor, will not prove embarrassing
to our Republican brethren. The
Republicans and negroes iraternize
twice year In INSTRUMENTATION
and election days-and thebalance OF
the year the negro looksoto Demo-
Gratis for employment. Hadley and
Crews would make a very appro.
pirate ticket, and the negro is clearly
entitled to recognition. So far he
has been kindly permitted to vote
the Republican ticket to pay for his
freedom. When Cleveland was elect

believe they would be put back into
