IT TAKES WORK TO WIN. The Kansas City Times, in com- menting upon the southwest immi- gration society held at Clinton last week, has the following advice for the people of this section: “Keep talking about it and keep the ball rolling. Send out the statistics. Form igration socie- ties and make them ak Shake up your merchants and get them inter- ested. Whoop up railroads and everything that will tend to develop the country. Patronize your coun- ty newspapers, advertise your waresand get up boom editions, scatter these editions far and wide, east and west, and thank God that you have the climate and the natural resources to back up your state- ment. There is a great future for south- west Missouri if she will follow Kansas City’s example and adopt Kansas City’s maxim: ‘Work; and when you are not working, talk.” If-you can talk in your sleep, so much the better. southwest is fairly awake. Take heed that you keep awake. These protracted naps have been almost fatal to Missouri's BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES J. D. ALLEN Eprror. J.D.

The far-reaching effeets of the strike can be inferred from the fact that the road has 6,000 miles of main’ and leased lines in Ilinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. From Chi- cago it reaches to Denver, Col., over 1,000 miles away, and Cheyenne, Wyo., equally as far. Minneapolis to the north and St. Louis to the south are within its reach—the ter- ritory of an empire. Hon. D. A. DeArmond, of Bates county, and Judge Shepherd Bar- clay, of St. Louis, are both strong men, either of whom will fill the bill for Supreme Judge. Both these gentlemen have strong friends in this section of the state. We have no personal acquaintance with Judge Barclay, but his reputation is good, and we know of none who possesses a cleaner democratic record or clear- er mind than does D. A. DeArmond. —Howard County Advertiser. ee The Sugar Trust has just given an exhibition of itself which proves that our greatest danger is not the organization of labor, but the pool- ing of capital. This Sugar Trust hhas ordered one of the largest and oldest refining establishments in the country, together with three smaller ones to shut down. The proprie- tors are as docile as a subject of the Czar of Russia would be. They close their door with a bang and throw hundreds of men out of work in the dead of winter. It is a pure- ly arbitrary act, a bit of despotism which is very exasperating.—Rural World. 5 4 EEE = 1 ‘We are decidedly in favor of hold- ! ing the State Convention at Jeffer- son City for several reasons. First, it is centrally located; second, it re- moves the improper influences sure to be exercised on delegates by a large city in favor of this or that candidate; third, the delegates are kept together better, can get ac- quainted and the opportunity offer- ed for much more effective work; fourth, the state house offers a most excellent place fora convention of _ this kind to meet and transact its business; fifth, the proper place for state officers tobe nominated is at ‘the state capital.

Kansas City Times, Whenever the first faint guns of a political campaign are heard General Joe O. Shelby is sure to be on hand. It was no suprise, therefore, when he turned up in Kansas City yester- day from his farm in Bates county. for a stay of several days to look. after the interests of his particlar friends. Talking of the political preferences he said to The Times rej : “Pm for Sherwood for governor and for Mike McGrath for secretary of state. They are not only my favor- section of the country and wili re- ceive strong support there. We not only want these men elected; but if the state treasurership is thrown to the southwest we want William E. Walton, a banker, of Butler, Mo., nominated. Mr. Walton is a self- made man and one of the best finan- ciers in the southwest, where his thorough business qualifications and strict integrity are best known.” “Why is itthat McGrath is popular with the old soldiers?” “1'll tell you. He was a member of General Joseph Kelly's regiment, which was the first to respond to the call of Governor Jackson. General Kelly’s only son was killed at Helena, Ark., and General Kelly died soon after from wounds received in battle. McGrath was his son-in-law, and has supported General Kelly's family ever since his death. That is what endears him to ussoldiers. Besides he is superbly qualified for the posi. tion which he has held so long. He is the ablest secretary of the state Mis; suri ever had.” Ox‘side of his family and the classics, says a Washington corres- ponéent, Lamar hasa hobby, and that hobby is Jersey cows. He has ahe:lonhis farm in Mississippi, and he sold Senator McPherson the bull that took the premium at the New Jersey fairs. This bull was named “Senator Vest,” and one of Lamar’s cows is named after Mrs. Senator Palmer. A picture of this cow in oils hangs in Lamar's dining- room. Lamarlives at Oxford, and his residence is surrounded with trees. Lhave see a painting of it with the cows and the calves gamboling be- fore it, while Lamar, with a book in his hands, sits on thestepsand reads. Lamar is worth from $15,000 to $20,000 and not any more, Iam sure. Much of his money is in his Jerseys, and he is not a man who has measur- ed his life by his dollars. He has not the accumulative bent, and though not a great money spender, he is nota money maker or saver. A City Under the Sea. A city at the bottom of the sea was seen toward the end of October near Treptow, in Prussia, when a powerful south wind blew the wa- ters of the Baltic away from the shore, uncovering a portion of ground usually hidden from sight by the waves. It was the ruins of the city of Regamuende, once a flourishing commercial station, whieh was swallowed by the sea some five centuries ago. The unusual specta- cle was enjoyed but a few hours, when the storm slackened and the waves returned to cover up the place which had been the residence and field of labor of busy men.—North German Gazette. Our readers who have noticed the proceedings of an association, call- ing themselves the “Wool Growers’ Association of Ohio,” would never dream that it is composed of four men who are not wool-growers of Ohio at all, but who grow wool in New Mexico, on their ranches there, and are on this account particularly anxious that their New Mexican in- terests should not be disturbed.

VENTION AT CLINTON. of the Representative Men of Each County. The immigration convention at! Clinton, on the 23rd inst., was the largest and most enthusiastic con- vention of the kind ever held in Mis- souri. Twenty-seven counties were represented, ranging in the number of delegates from 1 to 60. The deliberations of the conven- vention throughout were harmoni- ous, and it seemed to be the feeling of the delegates that it was a turn- ing point in the history of Southwest Missouri and that much good could be accomplished by the various counties in unison on this questien. After a permanent organization, on motion, a committee composed of one representative from each county was appointed to draft a constitu- tion and by-laws for the government of a permanent immigration society. The committee reported the follow- ing constitution and by-laws: 1. Any eounty in Southwest Mis- souri which shall pay into the treas- ury of this Association such sums as may be prescribed by the execu- tive committee, not to exeeed one cent on the hundred dollars per an- num of the assessed valuation of such county as shown by the state auditor's report for taxation, shall be a member of this association, such payment to be made in such amounts and times as may be pre- scribed by said executive committee. 2. The president shall be a mem- ber of this association, and shall preside at all meetings of the board of directors and of the executive cemmittee, and sign all warrants drawn on the treasurer, and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors. 3. The vice-presidents elected by the board shall be known as first, second and third vice-presidents, and in the absence of the president shall perform the duties of the pres- ident and such other duties as the board of directors may preseribe. 4. The secretary shall keep a eorrect record of the proceedings of the board of directors and of the ex- ecutive committee, and shall attend toall the correspondence of the as- sociation, and transmit to the auxil- liary associations monthly a report of the work of the board of directors and executive committee of this as- sociation, and all information in his Possession concerning excursion par- ties into Southwest Missouri, and such other information as he may have that will be of interest or ben- fit of any aurilliary association; and it shall be his duty to draw and coun- tersign all warrants that may be or- dered by the executive committee and keep a correct record of same, and perform such other duties as may be required by the board of directors or executive committee. 5. The secretary, for his services, shall receive such salary as may be fixed by the board of directors. 6. The treasurer shall receive all monies belonging to the association, giving duplicate receipts therefor, one of which shall be delivered to the secretary, and shall keep a cor- rect account of the receipts and dis- bursements of the association, and make quarterly reports thereof to the executive committee, and at such other times as may be ealled for by said executive committe or the board of directors, and shall only pay out money on a warrant signed by the president and countersigned by the seeretary. 7. The treasurer, before entering upon his duties, suall execute to the members of the finance committee a bond with good and sufficient se- curities (for the use and benefit of the association), in such amount as may be fixed by the board of direc- tors, and shall receive such compen- sation as the board of directors may prescribe. 8.

Gwynn, of Morgan, Secretary; J. P. Landes, of St. Clair, treasurer, with the nom- inal salary of $25 per annum. The selection of the finance com- mittee resulted as follows: J. B.

Speed Stephens, Cooper county. Prominent headquarters for the society was established at Clinton; it is understood that the secretary will move to that city, so it looks as if Clinton has captured the whole thing, and the rest of the boys get taffy. Bates county had 31 representa- tives present. Col. Irish came within one vote of getting the secretaryship, but the pegs were set up against him. Col. Trish was entitled to this office ashe was the originator of the enterprise and by indefatigable work was alone responsible for its success. The convention recognized this when it gave him a vote of thanks for his ef- forts in this direction. Before adjournment a motion was made to take up a collection for the Mt. Vernon, Ill., cyclone sufferers and the hats were passed around and $105.80 realized and forwarded to the relief committee. Circuit Court Proceedings. State of Mo., vs. D. B.
