An Aged Woman Of Butler Pours
Gasoline on the Fire by
Mistake.

Mrs. Mollie Gibbs, an aged woman
living In the northwest part OF the
city, was fatally burned by the ex.
plosion OF gasoline on Thursday
morning. She fingered In great agony
until Friday morning at 7 O'Clock
when death merciiully relieved her
suffering. Mrs. Gibbs had picked up
what she supposed vas a can OF coal
oil and used It to make the fire burn,
Instantly there was an explosion and
the burning oil and gas completely
enveloped her. Arthur Steele, who
is q near neighbor on hearing the ex
plosion, rushed to her assistance and
smorthered out the flames with 9
heavy wooden blanket. DR.. Lock
wood was summoned and used bill
skill to ease the woman's suffering
She was 60 badly burned that great
pieces OF flesh came of when tn,
blanket was removed. Funeral ser

The American Protective Tariff
League Is flooding the country with
literature teaching the virtues oihigh
protection, or how to make a man
satisfied, while you rob him through
taxation. The TIMES is in receipt OF
some OF this literature, with cards
asking the names and addresses oil
first voters. OF course 1t would be
very hard to guess who Is putting
up the expense for this great cam
paign. No doubt they are actuated
by purely patriotic motives.

PUT TRUSTWORTHY on GUARD.

The Gemmeher prints In black
type, under she head vigilance,
the following warning;
Watch the personnel OF the dele.
cations to Denver. Money is being
used In some OF she states OF the Mis-,
sissippi valley to secure delegations
who will be obeiient to the preda.
tory interests. Vigilance Is neces.
ssry. Put none but she trustworthy
on guard. The democratic masses
are aroused, and they must not be
betrayed by representatives OF 1.-The
System"
In Missouri the 'fsvorite son"
theory is more threatening to Mr..
Bryan than bribery by predatory In
terests. The great mass OF Demo
cratic voters are unqnalifedly for
Bryan and any attempt to purchase
votes would be detected and punish
ed.
But there has long been a susplcion
among MIR Bryan's strong support.
ers, based upon substantial grounds,
that an effort would be made to cap
ture the state delegation by stealth;
that enough delegates who could be
depended upon would be elected
when il the time ever came
In the convention when Missouris
vote could accomplish the de-
feat OF the great commoner, II would
be given ,on the "iavorite son" and
Estate pride" theory. -
The interview OF Judge Evans,
chairman OF the State Committee,
published In the Globe Democrat the
day before the committee meeting at
Jefferson City on February 19sh, In
which he said that the committee
would not endorse Mr.. Bryan for
President, but would probably con-
tent itself with a resolution endors.
ing Governor Folks administration,
was a confirmation OF other reports
that had gained currency. The
prompt manner OF Mr.. Bryan's
friends In iorestslling such contem.
plated action, by introducing a
strong Bryan resolution, which none
OF them had the courage to oppose,
was commendable,
The state convention will probably
observe the time honored custom OF
sending the acting governor as one
OF the delegates.at large to the ma.
tional convention. But care should
beexercised that all the delegates arr
not only for Bryan but instructedfol
him. Due vigilance is all that Ii
necessary to insure Missouri for BrY

All school directors should remem.
Der that the law passed by the last
Legislature in regard to the length OF
Of school term is now In effect and
must be put In force the coming
school year. This law requires all
districts to have an eight-months'
school term, provided the expense
can be met by q levy Of 40 cents on
the 800 assessed valuation.
This should be borne In mind
at the annual school meeting In April.
The people at this meeting have no
authority to vote on any length OF
school term, except ''in excess OF
eight months" A vote for q seven
or an eight-months' term Is OF no Of
feet. Section 9751, School Laws OF
Missouri says, 1.-THE board shallhave
power and are required to continue
the public schools Of their district ior
a period OF eight months In each
scholastic year" Hence, no vote
should be taken on the school term
unless the people want more thar
eight months. The people, however
shall vote sufficient funds TO main
tain the school term required by law
