The Statewide primary, in which
Henderson will participate next,Satur-
6ay June 3rd, is the subject of great
est local interest this week, and for
the moment wars and rumors of wars
are forgotten
The great fight within the State
seems to be between Bicket and
Daughtridge for governor, with the
friends and supports of Beckett seem
ingly the most active. The Hustler,
taking no part in this fight, can ex-
press no opinion as, to the outcome.
It seems to be a foregone conclu-
sion that Shipman aud most of the
other State Office incumbents will
again receive the Democratic nomina-
ton.

On the Democratic side is that between
the candidates for the State senate in

candidates and Rutherford the other.
Here the fight lies between r. NJ.
Oates, T. B. Allen. J. Foy Justice. R.
ION LoWndes and V. c. V. Shepherd.
The fight is extremely vigorous and
interesting.
The only other fight On the Demo
cratic side is between r. E. L. Free
man and Carroll P. Rodgers for the
Democratic nomination as representa-
tive to the State Legislature.
The Congressional Fight.
The congressional fight is of interest
only on the Democratic side; since
Congressman Britt has no oDpOnen
within the Republican party and has
been declared the nominee.
The fight between HonoEables Sol.
Gallert, Zeb Weaver and M H. Justice
and has reached a high pitch. Z

were killed and about 40 men, women
and children were injured in the ex-
ploslon of a timed bomb in the course
Of preparedness parade here today.
1t was said the dead may number s.
The Grand Army of the Republic was
forming at the place where the bomb
exploded. The veterans appeared in
the parade unperturbed.
The lumber of injured may go be-
yond the early estimate.
The bomb, made of nails and dyna-
mite, was placed in suitcase in front
of the building before which hundreds
OF persons were crowded. The build
ing was wrecked and stores across the
street nearly demolished. Persons cut,
half blinded, the blood streaming from
their faces and bodies, ran madly
through the crowd, and others, panic
stricken, stumbled over the bodies of
the dead and injured, piling up in
heaps on the street.
Veterans of the Grand Army of the
Republic, preparing to march, escaped
unscathed and marthed sturdily
ahead.
Blood and flesh, spattered across the
sidewalk and among the spectators,
made a hideous spectacle. Many per-
sons collapsed or fought their way out.
The building against which the bomb
was placed was demolished. The pa
rade was not interrupted.
The bomb, concealed in a suitcase
full of cartridges, sprayed the crowd
as with shrapnell. Dozens of shells
sprinkled the ground nearby.

HAWKINS REBUKES
PROHIBITIONISTS
Says If State Were Dry, Grafters
Couldn't Make
Living.

Senator c. p. Hawkins of Kenneth,
who is a candidate for reelection, ar
rived in the Cape Sunday to spend a
few days in this county in the interest
of his candidacy. He has just COM
pleted a canvass Of the lower counties,
and predicted his denomination by a
large lead.
When told that he had been accused
of getting into the race for reelection
just TO oppose a candidate in his own
county, Mr.. Hawkins said: 81 under

have not been campaigning. On the
evening of August 1 they will be say
ing that | have campaigned too much.

who aspires to be should let the public
know what he is for and what he is
agaist," began the Senator. "This in
cludes all measures that are being dis
cussed. During my service in the low
er house and the State Senate, l voted
upon all measures as my judgment
dictated. This is all any law-making
officer can do when the people do not
have an opportunity to be heard.
$50 far as know or have ever heard,
the only vote l ever cast in the Legis-
lature or the Senate that has been
criticised was my vote against the
anti-saloon's county unit bill. Men
who are advocating statewide prohi
bition do not really want it, because
they would be out of job and would
not have any opportunity to graft.
And to deprive some Of the prohibition
orators of the right to graft would be
as painful as the toothache.

FARMERS
HAVE HARVEST
HOME JUBILEE
Threshing Ring Gathers at
Willie Keller's Sunday
to Settle up.
PENEUCHLE AND PITCH
PLAY IMPORTANT ROLE
Chris Wolf Acts as Chef and
Candidates attend to
Talk and Eat.

The farm of William Keller, eight
miles west of the Cape on the Cor
donville (keller) road Sunday after
noon was the scene of what virtually
was harvest home celebration when
the threshing ring in that vicinity met
to Square" accounts.
PinOchls; pitch and other quiet
games and forms of entertainment
were as much features of the day as
the account settling.
The threshing ring is composed OF
twelve men, each owner of a wheat
crop. In threshing the wheat, all the
farmers in the neighborhOod work on
the threshing machine and make the
circle of all the wheat fields. 1t is
custom hundreds of years old and was
followed in all communities in the old
country.
Each member not only helps to
thresh his own wheat, but he also helps
to thresh the wheat of each of his
neighbors. At the close of the ring
a meeting is held when the thresher-
man is paid and the difference be-
tween crops is adjusted among the
farmers.
If one farmer had an exceptionally
large crop and his neighbor had
small crop, the owner of the larger
crop paid the difference of the ex-
change of labor to the companion IN
money.
H. Y. Suedekum is the thresherman
in this ring and the following are the
members of the ring: Henry l.. Sic
mers, William Keller, Otto Keller, W.
w. Priest, G. W. Tisdale, H. NJ. Keller,
F. 4. Keller, A. o. Keller, George
Hoffer, William Suedekum, Julius Ne
bel, H Y. Suedekum and S. R. Sue
dekum.
The members of the ring this year
raised an average crop of 400 bushels
each. The yield this year represents
less than half crop that is usually
harvested. The largest crop was OBJ
tanned by Otto Keller who 100 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres.
The smallest crop was 191 bushels
bv F. A. Keller on Is acres. 1t re-
ouirad but six and half days to do
the threshing.
Several candidates for Office in the
county attended the celebration at the
Keller farm among whom were J. Hen
nv Caruthers, who is candidate for
reelection on the Republican ticket as
prosecuting attorney; Henry Brinkopf,
candidate for nomination on the Re
publican ticket for sheriff; Ben Gockel,
candidate for nomination on the Re-
publican ticket for assessor; Capt. H.
W. Bridges, candidate on the Repub-
Iican ticket for State Legislature; J.
Il. c. Kerstner, candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for county treasurer.

and presided over the eats as chef and

there was warrant for "the issuance
of capitalization to the amount OF

known that the capitalization thus ap-

and when it is further remembered
that among the creditors thus unpro-

Western railroads, and their Missouri
associates, but l do not think plain
ordinary Democrats would care to

Before departing for st. Louis, Mr..
Hope declared that in his opinion, MIR.
Houck will receive a large Judgment
against the Frisco in the suit that is
pending in Federal Court to fix the
amount Or damages the Frisco owes
of the Cape Girardeau &
Northern.
Virtually all the testimony now is
in in that case and it will be decided
by Special Master T. ]. Fauntleroy
with relatively a short time, Mr.. Hope
said
"a large judgment will force the
Frisco to hold the Cape Girardeau &
Northern, which will preclude any
chance for another railroad to come in
to the Cape for long time"

Gardner late tonight issued a state
ment, saying that his nomination is
assured He has virtually concluded
his campaign, and will rest this week.
In his statement tonight, he criticised
mildly those who have so bitterly at
tackled him during the campaign. His
statement, which was issued at mid
night, says:

of some Of the candidates who have
circulated malicious stories about me
must now regret their action, as it
must be apparent to them that

at is real pleasure for me to look
back through the months that have
passed and to be able to say that |
have not spoken unkindIy of any other
candidate; neither have my friends
been permitted to do so with my ap-
proval.

and attacks, but such tactics cannot
appeal to my farmer friends and my
city support. have during my entire

private understanding with any organ
ization, corporation, clique or faction,

sole basis of their merit.
"Many Endorsements have come to
my candidacy without solicition either
from myself or my friends. My fore
fathers have all been consistent Demo-
Gratis and have always supported my
party nominees and platforms.
Important questions await solution
by the next Legislature-the budget
system, rural credits, code reform and
workmen's compensation together with
many other problems must be settled
rightly. 1t is regrettable that an at
tempt has been made to inject the wet

dates as extremists on one side or the
other. This question may be solved by
the direct vote of the people in the
