WEDNESDAY, MAY, 7, 1890. F. & L.U. IN POLITIOS. The die has been cast. The de- cree has gone forth. The dema- gogues and broken down politicians have stormed the citadel of the Farmers and Laborers Union in Bates county and have carried every- thing in their way, and as a conse- quence the order is to be debauch- ed—sacrificed to the insatiable maw of these political vultures. United- ly the farmers are strong, and that strength depended upon how well and faithfully the pledges made by the constitution of the order guaran. teeing to each individual member his political and religious views, were kept. Violate the fundamental principle of your order, the corner- stone of your structure, and like Sampson, shorn of your locks, wherein rest the secret of your strength,you are handed over, bound and gagged, unto your enemies. What of these Delilahs? They expect to get their reward for their treach- ery, which in this case is county offices. So eager were they for the strife (hat when an intelligent gen- tleman, for the good of the order, offered a resolution that the inter- pretation given the constitution by the national executive committee be accepted by that convention as the proper one, it was necessary ‘for a learned professor, who by the way has twice or thrice asked favors of the democratic party without suc- cess, to arise and explained that the adoption of such a motion would prevent them from running a ticket, because that committee had already decided that the crder could not en- ter into politics. Then this learned professor appealed to the vastly su- perior intelligence of this conven- tion over the national committee to make their own interpretations of the meaning of the constitution, and of course interpret, so that it would permit of a county ticket being run. So eager were these Delilahs to reap all the reward, and for fear that some of the prominet gentlemen al- ready soliciting favors of the demo- cratic party who belong to the order might be the beneficiaries they sub- mitted and had passed a resolution, in substance, that the Farmers’ tick- et was not to contain the name of a man who ever held an office or who is now an aspirant for one. That ir, of all the good and worthy men and consistent members of the order, who are now asking preferment of the political party of their adoption, none are worthy to be on this so called farmer’s ticket. Why? Be- cause they might be endorsed for the very place that one of these De- lilah’s is looking longingly at. How does such action suit some of our good democratic and yepublican farmers who went into thfs order as & non-political organization, to now have their political views dictated by nondescripts—renegades from both the old parties. A man cannot belong to two political parties at one and the same time. If a man pretends to be a democrat and votes the republican ticket, there can be no doubt as to which party he really belongs. He cannot serve God and Mammon. If the F. & L. U. in Bates county is determined to or- ganize a political party, a good dem- ocrat or republican can not remain in the order and be consistent. Democrats! Republicans! men who belong to political parties from prin- ciple, the non-political farmers or- ganization has been captured by Politicians not of your party, and you can no longer commune with them. Will you have the courage of your convictions and rebuke such action by coming out boldly for your political principles.

Heart Disease, Attributed to Past Overwork, the Cause—The Sad News Announced to the Sen- ate While in Session. Washington, D. C., May 3.—Sen- ator James B. Beck of Kentucky, fell dead in the Baltimore and Po- tomac station at four o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Beck had just arrived on the limited express from New York and was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Goodloe, wife of Major Good- loe}of the United States Marine Corps. He got off the train with the rest of the passengers and walk- ed with his daughter the entire lenght of the platform and through the gate leading to the station prop- er. He seemed to walk with an ef- fort and breathe with labor, but these symptoms were the usual ac- companiment of exertion with him for some months past. After passing into the station the senator and his daughter was joined by his private secretary, who had brought a carriage to take them home. A few words were exchanged with regard to the care of baggage when the senator suddenly turned pale, and with the remark, “I feel dizzy,” fell into the arms of his com- paniors. They could not support his weight and he dropped to the floor where he swooned away. Mrs. Goodloe screamed for help. Willing hands were numerous as the station was crowded at the time and the limp and helpless body was borne into the office of the station master, about twenty feet away. Great excitement ensued, and al- though it was apparent that the senator was dead half a dozen mes- sengers were immediately dispatch- ed for physicians and all the reme- dies at hand were applied, but to no effect. Dr. Chamberlain was the first to arrive and he was soon fol- lowed by Dr. Wells and othrs, but there was nothing for them to do except to examine the body to de- termine the cause of death. Only a superficial examination was possible at the time, but this was sufficient to satisfy the physicians that death re- sulted from paralysis of the heart. The news was telegraphed to the capitol and subsequently spread like wildfire to all sections of the city. Representatives Breckinridge, Ca- ruth, Stone and others of the Ken- tucky delegation repaired to the station at once and arranged for the removal of the remains toa more suitable place. ANNOUNCED TO THE SENATE. At a quarter past 4 Mr. Harris in- terrupted the proceedings and asked that a bulletin which he had just re- ceived should be read to the senate. The presiding officer read in a voice betraying deep emotion the following: “Western Union telegraph lines— Bulletin.—Senator Beck just drop- ped dead in the Baltimore and Poto- mac station. Manager Western Union Company.” “Tn view of that sad fact,” said Mr. Harris, “I move that the senate do now adjourn.” The motion was agreed to and senators and officials gathered around Mr. Harris, expressing to each other their sincere sorrow at the sudden death of a man so much loved and respected. SENATOR BECK’S PUBLIC CAREER. James Burnie Beck was a Scotch- man. He was born in Dumfries. shire, February 13, 1822. He receiy- ed an academic education in his native country and coming to the United States with his parents as a youth. settled in Lexington Ky. He immediately entered the law school of Transylnatia university at Lexing- ton and graduated in 1846. He practiced law in the city of his adoption for twenty years, and soon became the best known lawyer in all the blue grass region, already so justly noted for its eminent jurists and statesmen. In 1866 he was elec- ted to his first term in congress, and was re-elected for four successive terms, his last term expiring in 1875. R BECK DEAD.| In a 1876, he was elected a mem- ‘ber of the commission to define the | Virginia and Maryland state bounda- jry, and the same year was elected by the Kentucky legislature as United States senator. He took his seat March 4, 1877, and in 1882 was re- elected for the third time. | In the senate Mr. Beck was for many years a member of the com- mittee on appropriations and the committee on finance and he was admittedly the best informed democrat in the senate on the tariff question and always a leader in de- bates on silver. Mr. Beck’s death was not unex- pected by those who knew him in the senate, although he and his friends had assured every one of late that he was growing rapidly better. The illness which ended fatally to- day began little less than two years ago, when he was threatened with heart trouble. All about the house were heard the most sincere expressions of re- gret this afternoon. Mr. Beck was extremely popular with the members of the senate and its employes and officers alike. He had many warm friends on the republican side of the chamber and no enemies. COL. JOSHUA LADUE. His Announcement for Congress in the Twelfth District. Clinton, Mo., April 28.—Editors Daily Democrat, Clinton, Mo.— Dear Sirs:—After a somewhat care- ful survey of the field, and learning from reliable source,that W. J. Stone will not be a candidate for renomi- nation for congress before the Dem ocratic Congressional Convention, to be held during the coming sum- mer in in the Twelfth Congressional District, I have concluded to an- nounce myself as a candidate for said nominatioa. If Mr. Stone was a candidate forthe position, I should not have entered the field, for I rec- ognize the valuable service he has rendered his constituents and the country during his term of service, but more particularly, his recent courageous, manly and able effort in attacking the threatened raids on the treasury of the United States by the present republican congress, in behalf of the pretorian guards, in tne shape of more pensions, and os- tensibly for the benefit of men who never found out that they were in- jured or maimed im the service of the country until fifteen or twenty years after the war closed; but in reality for the benefit of the pension sharks at Washington, and through- out the country, who are engaged in drumming up these claims. But with Mr. Stone out of the race, I am not aware of any reason why my claims to represent this district in congress are not as good as those of the other geutlemen, whose names are mentioned as candidates. I believe in straightforward, hon- est Jeffersonian democracy, which properly understood, means a gov- ernment by the people, and which guarantees the greatest good to the greatest number. _I believe that a “public office is public trust,” par- ticularly a seat in the national con- gress, and I believe that that trust should be conferred by the soverign people, who are vitally interested in the enactment of good laws, and the permanent establishment of good government, and not by men who sometimes assume to act for, and in the name of the people. I shall endeavor, on my part, to conduct the campaign in a proper and gentlemanly manner, and avoid personal abuse and vituperation. I propose to spend as much time asI can to visiting the different counties in the district, to discuss before the people those questions of political economy, viz: the the tar- iff question and the silver question as those questions, in the nature of things, are bound to be uppermost as subjects of legislation in congress for years to come, and until the bur- dens now being borne, by the great mass of farmers and laboring men of the country are removed. Respectfully yours, J. LaDee. iCall for Prairie City Township Rail- road Bond No. 37. Notice is hereby given that I will pay Old Prairie City township R.

The cleansing, healing, purifying influences of Hood’s Sars parilla are unequalled by any other medicine. “J take pleasure in recommending Hood's Sarsaparilla, for it has done wonders for me. I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me ever nearly my entire body. Only those who have suffered from this disease in its worst form can imagine the extent of my affliction. Itried many medicines, but failed to receive benefit until I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Then the disease began to subside, the Agonizing Itch and Pain disappeared, and now I am entirely free from the disease. My blood seems to be thor- oughly purified, and my general health is greatly benefited.” Lrmay ALLEN, Sexton N. E. Church, North Chicago, I. “ My son had salt rheum on his hands and the calves of his legs, so bad that they would erack open and bleed. He took Hood's Sar- saparilla and is entirely cured.” J. B. Stax- ton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. From 108 to 135 “1 was seriously troubled with salt rheum for three years, and receiving no benefit from medical treatment I decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Iam now entirely cured of sals sheum; my weight has increased from 108 lbs. %0 135.” Ms. ALICE Situ, Stamford, Conn. If you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood @isease, try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
