Gordon in the Field.

State Auditor Gordon announces
himself as a candidate for reelection.
He bases his appeal to the voters
of Missouri, not upon his views of the
recall of Judges or the tariff on mules

as public servant during the last
four years.
The spring days are just ahead and
as violets besprinkle hillside and dell

Can't Recover from MasOns.

jefferson City, Feb. 29.-The suit
of E. c. Vandegrift, receiver Of the
fefunct Bates National Bank of But
Ter, Mo-, against the Masonic Home
of Missouri, was decided in favor of
the Home recently. Receiver Vande-
grift sued for sl7,522, basing it on
the fact that F. W. Tygard, president
of the bank, and for many years
treasurer of the Home, and alleging
that Tygard had used that amount of
money belonging to the bank, to
square his account with the Home
Commissioner Bond, who wrote the
opinion adopted by the court, holds
that there is nothing to prove the al
legation, and that the evidence shows
that Tygard's accounts with the home
were correct.

saddencd this morning at the an
nouncemcnt that Judge l.. l.. Brown
ing, the friend of Dcming and Of

called to the higher life at an early

extinct. Drs. Moir and Steed were

the awful truth. The Judge had
quietly gone to sleep without pain
or struggle, his faithful and true
heart simply ceasing to beat.

PARK RIVER MAY
GET FACTORY
Local Capital May Engage
in Manufacture of Grain
Saving Apparatus.

Park River. n. D.. Nov. 3o.-A
factory will likely be established in
Park River for the manufacture of
attachments to binders which promise
TO play an important part in reducing
the cost of harvesting operations in
the future, as we'll as materially in
crease the yield by saving all the
shelled grain that goes through the
binder.
A company has been incorporated
for the purpose Of manufacturing the
harvesting devices which have been
patented by the Rev. Father Miko-
lasek Of Lankin. The organization is
composed Of the Rev. Father Mikolas-
elk. David Aitken and c. Il. Very,
with a capital Of $4,000.
The patented articles are a grain
saver and al automatic shocker. They
have been tested out las suInme and
fall and We're found to work very sue
cessfully. Further test. however. will
be conducted with a view OF determ-
lining any further Improvement in n
part Of the mechanism so as to make
them work with the greatest degree
of success.
The manufacture Of the attach
ments will in all probability start In
the spring and the factory will be To-
Gated in the new building which Mr..
Aitken is erecting here in the ear
OF his machinery warehouse. The
building at present is designed to con-
tain a work and repair shop and also
room for housing considerable thresh-
ing machinery. The structure when
completed will be 3:x150 feet in size.
