Some Gordon Facts.

Probably the most effective
campaign among all the state
candidates is that being made
by John P. Gordon Of Lexington,
who wants the Democratic nom
nation for auditor. Not only
has he met 'em face to face in
almost every county, travelling
on his own merits, and refusing
recognition to all those cliques
and factions, but the various or
CARNATIONS of travelling men
have interested themselves en-
Enthusiastically in his candidacy
by reason of his membership in
them.
Aside from the friendly feel
ing inspired by his residence in
an adjoining county, Kansas
Cityans are working for Mr..
Gordon's nomination because he
represents the highest type of
Democracy and Missouri citizen
ship. He is fine and clean and
strong, and would not only dis
charge the duties of his office
ably but honestly. The auditor
is a member of the state board
of equalization, and this makes
the selection of an absolutely fair
man doubly important.
Mr.. Gordon belongs to the
famous old family that has
played so important a part in
the affairs of the state His
father, Major George P. Gordon,
belonged to Shelby's brigade,
and was as gallant a soldier as
ever wore the gray.
This is Mr.. Gordons first try
for political Office and it is to be
hoped that he will win, for such
men are needed in Missouri pol.
itics. He has always been an
enthusiastic party man, however.

less active than in June. Leath-
er is steady, except that tanners
advanced prices on heavy oak
sole, and higher figures are
named for betting butts. There
is more inquiry at old rates, but
few contracts are recorded at 81
cents, which is generally asked.
Both Chicago packer and country
hide markets tend upwards, cat
tie receipts show a decrease. A
further advance of a full cent is
noted in foreign dry hides, which
are scarce. -Dun's Review.

Cowherd's denunciation of the
Nelson Republican organ was
responded to by a roar of APP

is unqualifedly false.

market without placing any
volume Of businiss, and western
iobbers have not continued to
purchase as freely as opening

changed, except where the in
creased cost of raw material has
forced shoe manufacturers to
advance figures, and little bust
ness is done on this basis be-
cause buyers insist that general
conditions do not warrant the

A Bad Runaway.

Earle Whitening received a
wound, several bruises
about the body and was knocked
unconscious by being thrown
from his buggy about eleven
O'Clock Tuesday night to the pave
ment in front of the Presbyte rian
church. In company with his
brother Arthur, and Sidney Fish

their homes in south Odessa
from up town. In front of the
Odd Fellows building the horse

and running. The three occu-
pants of the buggy we're thrown
out, but only Earl received iniu-
ries worth mentioning. The horse
turned east just below the church
and the buggy was wrecked on
two telephone poles near G. P,
Green's livery stable. The har.
ness was also broken, but the
horse received only a flew scratch.

We are prompted by reading
of the sad case of Beulah Carter
at Huntsville, to suggest that the
task of Saving the boys" should
not entirely do away with the
necessity for saving the girls as
well. Boys are naturally more self
reliant and better fitted to meet
the dangers and temptations that
beset them through life. But the
greatest reason for exercising
closer supervision over girls is
the evileffects left by their wrong
doing. Let a boy commit a wrong
and at once willing hands are
stretched forth to save him; but
the poor girl who strays from the
path of rectitude, however limo

HAMLIN'S SPEECH
He Answers H~azeltine's Charges With a
Flat Contradiction.

Hon. G. w. Hamlin, congress-
man from this district, spoke at
Gillian and Slater Wednesday
afternoon and evening, and after
reviewing his work in Congress,
devoted the latter part of his
speech to answering the charges
made by S. A.. Hazeltine, who
spoke here about three weeks
ago.
Here are some of the charges
made by Hazeltine and Hamlin's
answers.
1st. Hamlin bolted the demo-
cratic ticket in Crawford County
in 1882 and ran against the reg
nlar nominee for prosecuting at
torney,
Hamlin's reply was a copy Of
a letter sent to Hazeltine by the
Count Clerk of Crawford County
in reply to a letter from Hazel
tine making inquiry as to Ham
Inns democracy. The letter
stated that Hamlin had always
hpen a democrat while in that
county.
2nd. He ran as a republican
for office in Kansas after leaving
Crawford County.
Hamlin admits that he was in
State of Kansas in the early
COS, but had no thought of run
ming for Office on any ticket while
there.
3rd. He receiver $50 votes in
9TH ward at Springfield when
running against A. F. Rector in
the Congressional primary, and
only 81 at the general election.
Hamlin says that the seeming
discrepancy in the above vote
was due to the fact that there
was but one office under consid.
Grafton and many farmers from
the country voted in that ward
and at the general election voted
at their home precinct. This Gus.
tom, he said, prevailed through
out the entire district as a mat
ter of convenience.
4th. He lodged voting OF
the question of restoring thu
motion In God We Trust t,
gold coin.
Mr.. Hamlin said that he wa.
confined to his bed witha broker
leg at the time, but as there wa.
practically no opposition, onl.
three votes being cast agains
the question, he thought tn
charge Of lodging t an
fetched.
9th. He opposed the emergeI
cy appropriation to inyestigat
trusts and railways.
Hamlin offered as proof of II
incorrectness of this charge,
letter from Congressma
Grimes, fatty denying t h
charge. In fact, Hamlin say
no such bill was under consi'

cowherd And The Kansas city Star.

Cowherd in his speeches at
Hamilton and Plattsburg paid
his respects to the Kansas City
Star, the organ of Taft and Had
ley. AT Hamilton he said;
Il noticed in the morning edi-
ton of Nelson's paper, the Times,
today an editorial advocating the
candidacy Of one Of my oppo-
nents.p
Il want to remind the voters
OF Caldwell county that the Star

GREAT SERVICE TONIGHT
Great Closing Fellowship Service at

Hundreds of people came out last
night through the rain to hear Evan

never greater than now. Eight were
baptized at the close of the service.

lighted all who have had the privilege
of hearing them.
Last night Mr.. Lockhart spoke on
the text, What shall 1 do with this
Jesus who is called Christi" He said
that it was necessary for every man
and woman to accept or reject Christ.
There is no middle ground. You may
reject Him as did those people in the
long ago, or you may accept Him as
the Son of God, and your personal
Savior. "He is able to save unto the
uttermost." 1t is impossible to elude
the ISSUE You cannot get away from
Jesus. AS man he stands without
peer in all history. AS teacher He
stands head and shoulders above all
others. In the realm of morals He is
the only perfect life. But it is not as
mere man, however great you may
concede Him to have been that | want
you to consider Him, but as the Son
of the Living God, come to save a
dying world. He comes seeking to
enter into your life, that He may bless
and save. The question to you, there
fore, is personal one, and the most
important which it shall ever be your
privilege to consider: What will you
do with this Jesus?"
