A WORTHY CANDIDATE.

This man Houchin is a sympathetic
sort of fellow. On the way between
Boonville and Marshall last week, he
met a poor huckster who had just
sustained the loss of his horse. The
dilapidated condition of affairs
aroused Mr.. Houchin's sympathy and
he gave the huckster s25 toward the
purchase of another horse. Mr.. Houch-
in IS candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, subject to
the August primary, and is a gentle
man of whom his party and state may
well feel proud. If elected he will
give the state a pure business admin
istration.-St. Joseph Observer, May

HOUCHIN WELL RE-
CEIVED.

James A Houchin, business mems
candidate for Governor of this State,
is being well received wherever he
appears and addresses the voters, as
he has a platform that appeals to the
farmers and business men especially.
He IS a self-made man, has made his
own way up well into the business
world, and is a strong friend Of good
roa:ls, and he has some mighty good
ideas along that line. Houchin says
II ig time 10 take some of the politics
out of the Governorship, and to put

COMMON SENSE POLITI-
CAL TIMBER

The Houchin-for-Governor campaign
is gaining in force and volume daily.
The principle of aggressive business
administration appeals to the people.
The stand taken by Col. Houchin in
regard to schools in out-of-the-way
places-that is, better school facilities
in the country districts, where the
boys and girls who are not able to
either take high school or college
course can be better equipped for
life. The right-down fact of the whole
matter is: James A. Houchin is the

NO SILENT MAN OF ESQ
PITS"

1t begins to look a great deal like
Houchin for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. He is making the
most aggressive campaign of any OF
the candidates, and is making friends
every day. He has the advantage of
not being a perpetual candidate, some
thing some of his opponents can not
deny. He is no Silent man OF ESQ

fear of losing votes, but comes out
clearly and defines his position on all
the issues of the day.-Morehouse

Our common old Ozarkans, who are
able to shake off the little nearby or
neighbor politicians as well as of the
big-clty politicians, are taking to
Houchin like a duck to water. We
see that his ambition is not that of

The Biggest Steamship AfOat Rammed
IS An Iceberg OF the Coast of
Newfoundland

New York. April 16.-Her Prov bat
tered and part of her upper works
shattered by the tons of ice which
fell upon them when she crashed head
on into an iceberg off the coast of
Newfoundland Sunday night, the
White Star liner Titanic, the greatest
steamship af1oat. is being towed pre-
sumably toward Halifax by the Allan
Line steamship Virginian. which was
the first boat to reach her, as we'll as
the first to answer her wireless call
for aid.
Her passengers have been taken off
by the steamer Carpathia. They were
transferred without accident.
The Titanic came to grief in latitude
ALAG north, longitude 5O.14 west This
point shows her to have been 1.154
miles due east of New York City and
$50 miles south of the Cape Race, n
F., wireless station.
The accident to the Titanic occurred
at 1925 o'clock Sunday night. Two
hours later the ships wireless appar-
atus which had been working so badly
as to permit of only fragmentary
MESA ges, failed completely.
Officials of the line did not take the
failure of the Titanic's wireless as
ominous. They declared the steamer
capable of withstanding almost any
exterior damage and say she can keeI
af1oat almost indefinitely after being
struck. because of the unusual number
of watertight compartments.

The battle was fought near Parrall
The two forces were about equal IN
numbers. Both had several field
pieces. Parrall was the objective
point of the federal troops, who wish
ed to regal nthe little city which they
abandoned ten days ago in the face of
overwhelming numbers. The same
army, recruited TO greater strength,
was met several miles from that place
by the advancing rebels. Nishtfan
