Fourth Of July

Rich Hills celebration was
pulled of as scheduled Saturday.
Owing to the high water people
we're almost entirely shut out Of
Rich Hill except by rail, and the
crowd was just about half what
il would have been had the river
been in its banks. The Schell
City band could not get here on
account Of the high water aud
the Butler band did not arrive
until after three o'clock on ac-
count OF delayed trains. The
Archie ball team was delayed.
and IN fact th0 iates were against

this there was a good crowd and

DIRTY POLITICS.
The Butler Variety Enough to Turn Any

happened in Missouri politics
for a long time is the recent at

squarely against such methods.
The Butler politicians had, for
some time been assailing every
body who showed any friendship
towards Mr. Hales; but all the
time knew that they we're not
helping the Butler candidate.
Mr.. Atkeson, in any way. They
first attacked Mr.. Hales but had
nothing to base anything on
against him so dropped this
campaign. then they attacked
Mr.. Parish, Of Adrian, with as
little success. J. K Martin. Of
this city came in also for his
share Of abuse. But the worst
fight waged by these gentlemen
and courteous politicians was on
their own tOwnsman, Clark Wix.
Mr.. Wix won the Butter post
Office over the heads Of the ring
(the above mentioned Butler
politicians) and since then they
have had their knives ready for
him.
Modern people look upon re

civilization has no place for spite

A Long Line
Taft Has Resigned Ten Positions
10 AcCspi Higher Ones.

Washington, June 27.-When
Secretary Taft laid aside the war
portfolio in President Roose-
velt's cabinet TO become the can
didate Of his party for the presi-
dency, he added another to the
long list Of designations from
high places. No man in Official
life in the country has so large a
mber Of designations
20 his credit. He had already
given up nine Offices when he
came 70 the war department
from the Philippines, and his re
tirement from the war Office
places ten designations to his
credit on his upward stride to-
ward the presidency.
The first Office filed by Mr..
Taft was that OF assistant prose
cutting attorney of Hamilton
county. o. That he gave up to
take the seat on the bench Of the
common pleas court. He resign
ed that for a place in another
court, and surrendered that to
take a seat on the superior court
bench. He was serving in that
when he was invited to
become solicitor general of the
United States which he resigned
to take a seat on the bench of the
United States district court at
Cincinnati. That was a life posi-
tion, but at the earnest solicita-
tion of President Mckinley he
gave it up to accept the appoint
ment as head of the Philippin e
commission with the understand
ing that when he had organized
the government Of the islands
he should be given a place on the
federal bench.
When the civil court was estab
ished as superior to the military
in the Philippines, Governor Taft
had TO give up the Office in order
10 take the original appointment
under the new order of things.
That made the eight lucrative
ofice he bad given mp in follow
ing the course that duty had
pointed. Wheh he was urged to
become secretary OF war he re.
signed from the Philippine gov
ernorship.
With the presidential goal al.
most in sight he signed his name
for the tenth time 10 a paper of
resignation from the war secre-
taryship.

EFFECT OF KING
EDWARDS VISIT

St Petersburg, June 5.-The effeco of
King Edwards forthcoming visit to Rus
STA is being keenly canvassed in polit-
ical circles here, principally with regard
TO its relation to Germany against which
the broad trend of the Kings recent poll
clans are of the opinion that King Ed
wards craftsmanship has now to face
the hardest test, the initiating of more
intimate relations with Russia, on whose
soil he will be the first English King to
set foot The task, however will be ia
cilitated by the political necessities.
Public opinion here is ready to meet
England more than half way. All polit-
cal parties, except the extreme reaction
aries, look upon an Anglo-Russian ac-
cord as natural to the completion of the
chain of Franco Russian and Anglo
French ties.
Matters to be discussed at the meeting
between King Edward and Emperor
Nicholas will take a wide range, and
particular attention will be given to ques-
lions relating to Morocco and Macedonia,
regarding which the need of a common
Anglo Russia n Franco treaty is especial i
~ felt.
An agent in favor of an Anglo Russian
! understanding has been the antl-Ger-
many sentiment which has been artifi-
| cialy stimulated by the recent Slavic re-
union in st. Petersburg.

PERSIAN TROUBLES
GROWING WORSE
THE SHAH is SAID TO BE BLAMED
FOR CONDITIONS AND is GOING
TO THE DOGS AS FAST AS HE
CAN.

st. Petersburg. June 5.-The situation in
Persia according to reports received here,
is steadily growing from bad to worse
and dispatch that came in today has
aroused apprehension of speedy end
to the reign of Shah Mohammed Ali Mira,
and the possibility of foreign interven-
ton. Responsibility for this state of af-
fairs is attributed largely to the Shah
himself, who to use the phrase of a Rus
sian foreign officer is going to the do IS
as fast as he can"
The report cabled to Berlin that the
Shah has taken refuge at the Russian
legation at Teheran is denied here but
the news that he has retired to the Bag
eshakh palace in an outlying location, ls
confirmed. This move however, is Off
cially explained as a mere change Of
summer residence. The reported submits
sion to the Russian authorities of the
CHEF of the Shah's seven tribesmen four
or five days ago is taken to prove that
nc extension has been required.
Russia has not yet decided whether or
not to order General snarslsy the COM
mander in the field, to resume his opera
tons June TO- No illusions are enter
tanned here regarding the ability of Per-
STA to enforce the terms of g e Russian
ultmatum upon the border tribesmen.
One of the dispatches received here to-
day from Teheran says that reports that
an attack against the Shah has been
planned, caused his majesty to go to the
Bageshakn palace, a summer resort out
side the city, accompanied by a numerous
retinue. There is considerable excitement
at Teheran on account of the uncertainty
of the present situation. Pending a def
mite reorganization of the cabinet, the
ministers at present are acting only ad-
interim. The bars of Teheran have been
closed

Arkansas Flood Recedina.

Little Rock, Ark, June 5.-The Arkansas
river here is now stationary. The high
waters of the Mississippi river will hold
the water back in the Arkansas, relieving
a long strain on the levees, but reports
are so encouraging that no additional
breaks are expected. Planters flooded out
by the recent rise have ordered several
cars of cotton seed from North Carolina,
hoping to get it in the ground by June
10, so the crop will mature. The river
here is now one foot and eight-tenths over
the flood stage.

affairs have been selected to receive the

the major part of that portion of the
Chinese Boxer indemnity which was can
celled by the United States and returned
to China. 1t is proposed to send 100 stu
dents annually to the United States for
a period of 10 years. The Dowager EN-

Confucianism has been imbibed by the
scholars in China.
