INVESTIGATING CASES OF

That systematic chain OF white

Perkins GumshOes
Into Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, March Coco.
W. Perkins, former partner of j. P.
Morgan, paid a mysterious visit to
Theodore Roosevelt here today. Mr..
Perkins supposed activity in behalf
of Col. Roosevelt and his connection
with the International Harvester Co.,
have furnished campaign material for
the Colonel's opponents since he de-
clared himself as willing to accept the
presidential nomination.
Mr.. Perkins slipped ineonspiciously
into Oyster Bay late this afternoon.
All that was seen in tine village was a
high-powered limousine, which sped
through the snow at such a clip that
no one coult tell who was within.
The New York financier remained
only short time at Sycamore Hill
before starting on the return trip to
New York. All that Col. Roosevelt
would say Of the visit was that Mr..
Perkins came as the bearer of
message from Senator Dixon, the
Colonel's campaign manager.

Steel Bill Veto is Expected.

Washington, D. c., March T.
Democratic members of the Senate
Committee on Finance decided today
to stand by the steel tariff revision
bill passed by the House.
The Republican majority of the
committee will negatively report the
bill. In the Senate the Democrats
first will 60 on record for the House
measure and then seek common
ground with the progressive Republic

The Democratic leaders have been
sounding Senator Cummins of Iowa,
Bristow of Kansas and Poindexter of
Washington, and other progressive
Republicans as to what help might be
from them when the issue
is presented in the Senate.
Republican leaders say they have
assurances that the President will
veto any measure that is not based on

son and a child of a daughter by his
first wife and left all to his second
wife and their children. To the son
by the first marriage and grandson by
the first marriage he left 81.

left in Tatkson county was purchased
with trust funds derived from the sale
of lands in Kentucky which belonged
to the first wife, and left by her to
their two children Emanuel Parish

"The Party of Lincoln"

In many of Mr.. Roosevelt's utter
ances Of late, he expresses a wish or
purpose ITO restore the Republican
party to what it was under Lincoln. "
1t is strange that a historian should
use language so loosely.
There was no Republican party
under Lincoln. The party that elected
him in 1860 was known in different
parts of the country under different
names. The party that reelected
him in 1864 was called the National
Union party. Until the surrender at
Appomattox hundreds of thousands
OF Democrats co-operated with the
Lincoln party. Many of the greatest
and best leaders were Democrats and
best leaders were Democrats and
nothing else. The Lincoln party was
war party.
The Republican party as we know
it, an organization for tariffs and
privilege and spoils, came into exist
ence under Grant in 1868 and has
been going from bad to worse most
of the time ever since. From 1892
until the present day it has maintained
itself by selling laws to the tariff pro-
tected trusts, from which it has drawn
its campaign funds.
1t is no more possible to restore the
party of Lincoln than it is to restore
the Boston tea party or the Cont
mental Congress. Republic.

Every year, in many parts of the

the story by heart,
With all memory's cordage he bound 1t;
He was sure 'twould be heard as rare

When he thought of the place where

So he perked up his form and began with
the tale,
And they gave him the deepest OF

While the men in their nervousness grew
very pale
And the ladies could not hide their

But he stammered right through till he
came to the end
Though his soul was suffused with a
wonder
If his memory might have proved not all

And had caused him to make q wild

Then the Colonel, her father, rose up in
his wrath
And, taking perhaps three or four
steps,
With the young mans limp form cleared
a chair-sma shing path
Ere he hurled him straightway from
the doorsteps.
Then he chased him away to the end of
the street
And condemned him to regions infer

And the young man now vows he will
never repeat

Andrew Herman Dead.

A good man has gone to his eternal
reward. On March 5th, 1912, Andrew
Herman closed his pilgrimage on
earth and went to his eternal home.
The deceased was born near But
Ter, Bates county, Mo-, Feb. %, 1885
and passed away at his nome west Of
Butler at the age of q years and 6
days. He was the youngest son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Herman and this
is the first time the family tie has
been broken. He was married to
Miss Bertha Woody of Gravette, Ark,
on March %, 1910. Mr.. Herman
united with the Lutheran church
when II years of age and has lived
true and faithful Christian life. He
had been a great sufferer of spinal
trouble for about eighteen months,
gradually growing weaker until death
brought him relief. His sufferings
were of untold agony of which none
could know but him, but he bore them
bravely and looked to and trusted
in Him, who doeth all things well.
Andrew Herman was a man of
sterling character hence a man of
real worth. As business man he
was full of energy and snap and went
after things with a vim that is not
seen only in superior man. May
the influence Of the life lived by him
long live to inspire the young men Of
his community to seek with all
earnestness the higher, the nobler
and the better things, yea the things
which God in his infinite love and
wisdom has placed within the easy
reach of all men.
He called his family and friends
present to his bedside before his
death, babe them last farewell, told
them he was not afraid to die, he was
prepared and urged them that they
all prepare to meet him in higher
and better world. He was not afraid
for "There will be no dark valley
when Jesus comes to gather his loved
ones home"
The funeral services were conduct
ed by his pastor, Rev. Thos. Maschoff,
at his home on Thursday, March 7,
1912, at 10 o'clock, after which the
remains were taken to Butler and
laid to rest in the Oak Hill cemetery
to await the call of Him, the Christ,
who is the resurrection and the life.
He leaves wife, father and moth
err, one sister and three brothers to
mourn the loss of a loved one. X.

sion that the pupils will have to attend
some school other than their own to
take the examinations. Such is not
the intention as they are free to go
where it is most convenient.
One thing we must not forget to
mention is the appreciation of the
teachers for the use Of the high school
auditorium here in Butler for the ex-
aminations. This is one of as fine
rooms as could be found in the State
modern in every particular and
pupils who attend school here may
consider themselves fortunate indeed.

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS


BY supt P. N. Allison.
The spelling contest to be held in
the various townships next Saturday,
March 18th, is for pupils to attend the
county contest to select pupil to at
tend the State contest. l hope that
every township in the county will
have three representatives in this.
Much depends upon the efforts of the
teacher along these lines. Should
the weather be very bad or the teach
ers not ready they can hold their
meeting any time so they can get their
pupils ready for Butler by April 9Th.
lam pleased to say we are to have
corn contest without fail this year
and all school boys will be eligible to
enter who are enrolled in school.
The particulars will be announced
later. Now if every teacher will help
us to interest the boys in this contest
we shall be very much pleased and
we can have one of the best contests
that we have ever had. Without the
help of the teachers we can do but
little. am very much in hopes that
each and every teacher in the county
will take the matter up with their
pupils and interest them.
The teachers examination is over
and the grades will be ready to mail
out about the first of April. Many
will likely expect these sooner but it
takes time to do this work and we
have some other things to do in con-
nection with this. Not many Of the
teachers who have taught were in for
this examination so the list is made
up largely of those who have never
taught.
Mr.. Lewis Keele of CORTLAND school
reports the following pupils as spell
ling all the words in a two weeks
spelling contest: Ruth, Elmer and
Edith Soderstrom, Marie Dark, Teresa
Howard, Otis and Alice Poe, Agnes
Callahan and Lena Simpson.
Miss Alvena Maddy reports a pie
supper the proceeds of which were
$27.78. They have used this in pur-
chasing equipment and library books.
They have had spelling contest with
Lone Star and were victorious and are
feeling pretty good as a result. Jocie
Pedrow has entered the Adrian High
School and Ethyle Cox spelled all the
words in two weeks spelling test.
Miss Helen Park of Ell Dorado has
just held pie supper and cleared
about $22 and is spending the' money
in securing maps and library books.
Miss Park has done good work for
these people and is one of our best
teachers.
1t seems that misunderstanding
has arisen about the county graduation
examination as some have the impress
