Urged Democrats to Vote.

Perry S. RAIDER, reporter for the
Supreme court, made a strong
speech at the opera house Saturday
night. He urged all Democrats to
vote on Nov.3 He is well posted
on State issues and gave many rea-
sons why Missouri should again get
into the Democratic column. By
his figures he showed that the stay
at home Democrats four years ago
caused the State to 90 wrong He
told some things regarding Hadley's
record which Hadley and the Re-
publicans are not telling and show
ed that in every respect Cowherd is
better man for Governor than
Hadley. Cowherd has always faith
fully performed the duties devolv-
ing on him and Hadley has failed
to perform his duties as city attor-
ney of Kansas City and as Attorney
General. He strongly endorsed
Cowherd from a long personal &C
quaintanee and quoted Judge Wal
lace as saying that he had known
Cowherd from boyhood and knew
of no better man.

Our Republican friends are max
ing a great noise about fraud in ST.
Louis, but they should point to the
people the kind of frauds Re)u3
licans practiced when they were in
power in Missouri They should
also tell the people that as many
Republicans took part in the St.
Louis frauds as there were Demo-
Gratis 1t was all Republicans in
the days of Republicans frauds
These Republicans should tell the
people that the wards in which
fraud was committed in St. Louis
could be thrown out and still the
Democratic ticket would be the
same.

The high tariff makes the trusts
and monopolieS prosperous, but did
you ever think how it is done. 1t
is simply because the high tariff
permits these trusts and monopo-
lies, foStered and protected by Re-
publicanS, to make the price on
raw material, on their manufactur-
ed products and on the price paid
labor. Of course they are prosper

Ball Gives Lie to Story.

Louisiana, Mo-, Oct. 13.-David
A. Ball to-day made a sweeping de-
NAL of statements printed in The
st. Louis Globe-Democrat of this
morning, in which he is alleged to
have announced that he had not
Endorsed Mr.. Cowherd for Governor,
and, furthermore. would never do so.
The paragraph to which Mr.. Ball
takes exception reads: In this
connection Mr.. Ball said that he
had not Endorsed Mr.. Cowherd, and
would not. I have only said that
would support the ticket he de-
clared My speeches have been
general and the names of no candi-
dates for State offices have been
mentioned.
That paragraph is a deliberate
Misrepresentation" said Mr.. Ball to-
day. II have Endorsed Mr.. Cow
herd, and do now indorse him.
shall vote for him and want all
my friends to vote foN him. | want
to see him elected. He is the best
man for the place. and if any frauds
were committed against me in the
primaries, am sure he is not to
blame.
Mr. Cowherd is one of the clean
est men we have ever put up for
Governor, and for partisan papers
to say that am against him sim
ply because | want a few election
crooks punished, is silly and unfair.
You cannot put it too strong that
am supporting Cowherd and the
whole Democratic ticket"
1T is true that met Messrs.
Sager and Lehman, but did not
say that would not support the
State ticket. Upon the contrary, l
stated that l would support the
ticket. All | said about frauds in
the recent primary was that hoped
Mr. Sager would uncover those who
them"
This statement also appeared in
the mornings Globe-Democrat:
fills friends (Ball's) say he is a
heart-broken man."
That statement is tommy-rot,"
said Mr.. Ball. Il have been feeling
better since the primaries than for
time. My health has been better
and | still have some fight left. You
may be sure that all that fight will |

interests of Missouri as to vote for

Henry Watterson On
Prohibition.

The whole prohibition move
ment is scheme to revive the
proscriptive and ruinous doc
trines of church and state. In
the South its animating purpose
has been to keep whiskey from
the niger. Elsewhere in Dem
ecratic communities it is a
scheme to promote federalism,
puritanism and republicanism.
Democracy meets it with these
plain proposals:
First Prohibition does not
itspeyershas and it never will=z
prohibit; on the contrary, it de-
grades both the people and the
law; it promotes smuggling, ex
tortion and adulteration; it
breeds both hypocrites and law
breakers, and, therefore, that
which may not be effectively re
pressed may be wisely regulated
and restrained.
Second-Local option. each
community to be the Judge of it's
own wants and needs-4the doc
trine Of home rule-has been eff
fectual wherever it has been
tried, and is as near a restriction
of the drink evil as legislation
Can provide.
Third-All schemes of legisla.
ton based on religious agitation
and hysterical uprisings make
not only for bad government, but
have for their ultimate object the
abasement of individual liberty,
and the ascendancy of a union of
tyrannous clericalism and cor
rupt demagogy, which in all ages
and countries has dragged relig-
ion, morals and patriotism
through incalculable wrong to
certain ruin.

indictments along with the Grand Jury
and myself, why did you not detect this
mistaken" My reply to this, MIR. Akin
son, is that you are receiving S2500 per
year from the people for your service as
district attorney and then you demand of
the county attorneys of this district to
act as your guardians and watch and see
that you do the work that is required of
you by law, properly, and if county at
torneys do not do this, you claim that it
was their fault and not yours, when you
know that the law does not even require
the county attorney to be present in the
grand jury or in the district court, unless
the district attorney is absent and then
he acts as district attorney. f
Fellow citizens, investigate your court
records and see if you do not agree with
trejn saying il is timefor q chapge.
Respectfully,
Robt. L. Nixon.

The boidness Of a pike Is very ex-
tfaordlnnfy. I have seen one follow a
bait within a foot of the spot where
1 have been standing. and the head
keeper of Richmond park assured me
that he was once washing his hand at
the side of boat in the great pond
In that park when a pike made a dart
at 1t and he had but just time to with
draw It.
A gentleman now residing In Wey'
bridge, In Surrey, informed me that
walking one day by the side OF the
river wey near that town, he saw q
large pike in shallow creek. He i'm
medintely pulled off his coat, tucked
up Els shirt sleeves and went into the
water to intercept the return Of the fisl
to the river and to endeavor TO throw
It upon the bank by getting his hands
under It.

Haw 4 Girl Throws.

Perhaps better title would havt
been How q Girl Doesn't Throw.
because II is well known that cir
cannot propel a ball or anything else
like boy. Most people-and all boys
conclude that this defect arises frCm
clumsiness, but that ls mistake.
The difference between a girls throw
ing and boys is substantially this:
The boy crooks his elbow aud
reaches back, with the upper part Of
his arm about at right angle of forty.
Eve degrees. The direct act Of throw.
ing is accomplished by bringing the
arm back with n sort Of snap. working
every Joint from shoulder to wrist.
The girl throws with her whole arm
rigid, the boy with his whole arm re
laxed Why this marked and unmis
taxable difference exists may be ex
planned by the fact that the claviclt
or collar bone In the feminine anatomy
is some inches longer aud set some de
grees lower down than In the mascu
line frame. The long, crooked, awk
ward bone interferes with the full ant
free use Of the arm. This Is the rea
son why girl cannot throw stone.

Reed and Strout.

Thomas B. Reed served in the navy
during the civil war, and in 1865 he
returned TO Portland to practice law.
One of the strongest men ut the Port
land bar at the time was 4. A. Strout.
Before beginning the trial of a suit 1t
was Strout's habit to inquire otoevery
Juror as to the state OF his health and
impress each with the Idea that the
lawyer was sollcitous OF that jurors
personal welfare. Reed and Strout
were constantly antagonlzlng each
other, though they were very good
friends. In nearly every case of i'm
portance Strout and Reed were on op.
poslte sides. 1t was annoying indeed
for the suave Strout to hear Reed
drawl out before the opening of q
case:
"Well, your honor Brother Strout
having finished his morning task OF
shaking hands with the jury, we may
now, hope, proceed with the busl
ness Of the court"

A PRETTY Warm Fish.

A well known fisherman was fishing
FOR perch and was seated along the
edge OF lake near the roots Of n
large tree, which was a favorite spot
for the perch. Luck had been only
fair, and he was debating on the ques-
tion of hauling in the line and going
home when there came powerful
tug.
He knew that he had a huge fish
and struggled vigorously for twenty
minutes before he landed his prize.
1t was a sunfish, one of the largest he
had ever seen. He landed it on the
bank. and then, he noticed that the
rays from the fish were 50 powerful
that nc was almost blinded, and the
grass in the vicinity was shrlveled NJ
byhthe heat.
A few minutes later the man fel
over. He had been sunstruck by the
sunfsh and was beyond hope.-Phil

He CAUGHT o'connsll.

Daniel O'Connell, the famous orator,
when taking a ride In the neighbor-
hood of his house had occasion to ask
an urchin to open a gate for him. The
little fellow complied with much alac-
rlty and looked up with such an hon
est pleasure at rendering the slight
service that O'Connell said:
"When see you again I'll give you
slxpence."
Riding briskly on, he soon forgot the
incident and fell to thinking OF graver
matters, when. after travelling some
miles. he found his path obstructed 10y
some fallen timber, which boy was
stoutly endeayoring to remove. On
looking more closely he discovered II
TO be the same boy he had met in the
morning.
"What" cried he. "How do you
come to be here nowT
"You said. sir. the next time you
seen me you'd give me slXpence." SAID
the little fellow. wiping the perspra
ton from his brow.
