Ind, Jan. 9Th, 1880. Her parents
were formerly from Cinthiana, Ky.
She was united in holy wedlock Jan.
18th, 1850, to Robt. M. Campbell and
moved to Bates county, Missouri, in

Mrs. D. G. Newsom, Mrs. Mira C.
Trip, Melvin p, E. S. and VIM. l..
Campbell and Mrs. w. D. Beaver, of
Portland. Oregon. Mrs. Campbell
had been married SO years, and all
during this period she has lived true,
faithful christian life.
She was a loving wife and mother,
a true friend, a kind and faithful
neighbor and her hearts delight was
to sacrifice for the help and benefit
of others. She has been a faithful
member of the C. P. church for many
years. They moved to this city and
she has since been a member of the
Presbyterian church here and is re-
garded as one of the most faithful
mothers in Israel by all who know
her and while we realize that our
loss is mother Campbell's eternal
gain we will miss her sadly, miss her
until we meet to part no more and
we all rejoice to know that all Of her
earthly sorrows are at an end And
when we meet her again it will not
be in the feeble body, with pallid
face, hollow eyes and locks of gray,
but it will be in the morning of youth
with stars in her crown, and she will
be like Him. K

OBITUARY.
Death has again visited our city and

the Governor of the shortcomings of
this body.
THE charges of the Governor
against the Election Board, were I'M
warranted, and have fallen about as
flat, as his charges against the Demo-
cratic Senate.
81 have tried to be fair with Gov
ernor Hadley, and | have an abund-
ance of proof that he has so regarded
me, but his general assault upon the
Democratic Senate and his conduct
touching Kansas City matters, as well
as other matters in the State, eonvin-
ces me that he is playing the cheap
est kind of politics with the high Of
flee with which the people have hon.
ored him.
"As lawyer and practical man,
Governor Hadley knows, or ought to
know, that it is an easy thing to make
charges, and to give interviews pass
ing on the conduct and integrity of
other officials.
But unless these charges are
shown to be true, the people of the
State will not be slow in denouncing
such conduct, and will say that il is
unfair and unjust for him to use the
high position to which he has been
elevated in this semiSlanderous way
for purely political purposes,
"He has the right to name loyal
party men to fill positions, but he has
no right, legal or moral, to assault
Democratic officials, who are just as
honest honorable and patriotic as
himself, II is funny thing that only
Democratic officials are unworthy
and must be publicly condemned by
the Governor. Nybody is fooled by
such a course. and the Governor is
fast losing prestige and respect in al
lowing himself and his office to be
used as a tool of his party. 1t is not
becoming the high Office he occu-
pies"

Burned Alive BY Pirates.

Victoria, B. c. Aug. 9.-The steam
er Tango Maru from the Orient
brought news of a rebellion in the
great Mohammedan province of Kan
su, China, following famine. One
Of the members of an American ex-
ploring party sent out by R. S. Clark,

Several walled cities, including
Yulinfu, Yenanfu, Sitechou and
Misuhsien, were besiged by the reb-
els, against whom imperial troops,
foreign drilled and capable, had been
sent.
The Tango Maru brought news
that there has been a recrudescence
piracy in South China and some tragic
affairs are reported, seven persons
being roasted to death by pirates
near Shuntak, after the capture of
the castle-like house owned by one Of
the local gentry. Although the Chi

away, no troops came to assist the
besieged household, or to succor

HUMPHREY SEARS
GOVERNOR HADLEY
President of Senate Describes
State Executive as a Petty
Politician"

Shelbina, Mo-, Aug.-Senator
George w. Humphrey, president pro
TEN of the Senate, and acting Cover
nor during the recent absence from
the State of both Governor Hadley
and Lieutenant Governor Gmelich,
gave out an interview here in which
he severely criticises the Governor
for attempting to play machine poll
tics in Kansas City. He said:
81 am not at all surprised at the
disclosures made by The Republic
concerning Governor Hadley's con-
duct toward the Election Commission
ers of Kansas City. During the cam
paign and after his election, and even
during the early part of his admins
tration, Mr. Hadley had much to say
about political machines, his purpose
to keep the police out of politics and
for fair and honest elections in the
large cities.
This position had much to do with
his election, and there were thous-
ands of people in the State who did
not vote for him, who expected a
square deal and fair play at his hands.
But this hope has been gradually fad
ing away and the people are seeing
the Governor as he is, the most radi-
cal partisan and petty politician that
ever occupied the high office of Gov
ernor.of Missouri, proclaiming the
contrary at all times.
Hadley Inundated.
"Mr Hadley was fearfully humili-
ated at his defeat by his fellow-towns-
man, Mr.. Cowherd, in the city in
which they both had lived and held
office for many years.
81 stated on the floor of the Senate
during the dicussion of the home rule
bill, that he had selected Mr.. Marks
to have charge of the police affairs in
Kansas City for the purpose of or
ganizing the force and using the in
fluence and the great power of his
office to put the city in the control of
his party.
IF not, why did he select the
shrewdest and most active politician
in his party to head a board, that was
to be kept out Of politics? Nobody
was fooled, because everybody knew
that the men of Mark kind were moi
appointed to office, except where a
smooth political game was to be play
ed. Mr.. MiddlebrookS was put in
just to give the situation sort of re-
spectacle appearance. Mr.. Marks
was to be, and is, the active head of
the board.
Charges Unwarranted.

thing that stands in the way in the
game to be played, and it is not sur
