We are authorized to announce SAMUEL L. STARK, of Pleasant Gap townsbip as candidate for the office of county treasurer, subject to the action of the democratic party. South Carolina has gove for Hill for president. The northern part of Kansas was deluged with water during Friday's storm. The state republican convention in Wyoming intends to send a wo. man to the national convention. Up to date Grover Cleveland has 300 delegates to the national conven tion. Hill has New York and South Carolinia. It now looks like Harrison will carry Missouri and the only thing to prevent his getting the nominr- tion is Blaine. —_——_— The condition of affairs at the Ful- ton insane asylum seems to be in bad shape and an investigation of the same will be had —$_—_ Senator Vest believes that the Sunday closing question of the World’s fair, is of much less im- portance than the large expendi- tures which are unnecessarily being made. The battle-ery of the republicans this year is, Stand up for Missouri. Heretofore it has been, Poor old Missouri, Moss-back Missouri, Bour- bon Missouri, down with the rebels. Democrat won't be dsceived by such silly twaddle. Ihe National Economist, official organ of the national alliance in speaking of the Birmingham confer- ence says: “The object of the meet ing was to consult as to the best meaus of preserving the order from the disorganizing effect of coming political strife.” The Blaine men still bave hopes that the old man will reconsider his determination to run-for president. Such men as Reed, Elkins and other leaders of the party do not want Harrison, and they fear that if he is again pitted against Cleveland they will loose the presidency. —— ee The Rates county delegates to the state national convention left for Sedalia last night. The candidates for delegates to the national conven- tion from the 6th district are J. D. Allen, of Bates; W. D. Summers, of Cass; Wm. Steele, of Johnson and C. C. Dickinson, of Henry. The republican convention for the sixth congressional district to elect delegates to the national convention met at the opera house in this city Tuesday last. J. Kizer, of Clinton, was made president, and C. C. Hot- ton, secretary. Lee Huntz, of War- rensburg and J. C. Lepscum, of Clinton, were elected delegates to the national cenvention with Dr. Cundiff and B. L. Morrison as alter- nates. The convention then chose Appleton City as the place for hold- ing the congressional conventon and set July 19 as the day for mak- ing the nomination. ws For the presidential nomination Harrison is still in the woods and away back in the woods at that So far he has not carried a northern state. The party leaders it seems do not consider him a strong candi- date and they are not slow to let him know it. The New York repub- licans refused to endorse him, Reed and Elkins are fighting and all in all his chances are not of the brightest * yet. | Times.

While the delegates are for Mr. Harper they are all en- thusiastic Stone vote in the state convention. men and will so The cawpaign in this state has now fairly opened. The conver- tions to nominate candidates to fill the different offices will in a few days be chosen, then the canvass will be begun in real earnest and from this time on, the fur will fly. The republicans have already made their nominations and put a straight ticket of unflinching men on their! indications there will be no dickering with the third} ticket, and from party, but with a full head of steam they propose to drive the engine in their own way either to victory or defeat. To meet the enemy in this combat the democrats must be care- ful in their nominations and take their best men. Thies done the party will march on to victory and the state remain in the hands of officers who will continue to reduce taxation and hold Missouri where she now stands in the front ranks of states in the union. Tom Ellis presents his name through the columns of the Tres for the consideration of the demo- cratic voters for the office of sheriff. He is a resident of Osage township, and if his popularity as a candidate is to be judged by the high esteem in which he is held by his neighbors he will be a formidable opponent. The people of Osage township are enthusiastically friends, irre- spective of politics, and will work Tom Ellis has been a democrat all his life and his hard for his nomination. never hesitated to show his colors | and strike a blow for his principles.

Judge D. A. DeArmond, who will continue to represent the thirteenth district in congress, is one of the music aad when a comic opera troop strikes town, Dave may usually be found in the second row left center, beating time with his right foot. But when he attempts to warble, the dogs howl and the cows come home to be milked. About twenty years ago the judge, who wasn't then a judge, attended a singing school in Greenfield conducted by O. H. Guffin, now of Kansas City. He really wanted to learn to sing, but somehow or other the professor couldn't, to save him, keep his voice off the grass. Dave could start in all right with the rest of his class, jbut before the end of the first measure was reached his voice would fly the track and go off toward the northeast corner of the ceiling and become tangled up with the cob- webs. Then it would drop with a dull sickening thud that invariably brought tears to the eyee of the or ganist.

The guage read 43 2 feet, which is six inches higher than the high water of last year and three- tenths higher than in 1890.
