HAYS The announcement of this gentle man for re-election to the position he now holds, associate judge of our county court from the north district, will be found in our an- nouncement column. Judge Hays is a very clever gentleman and as to how he has performed the duties of the important office he holds, he leaves for the public to judge. We believe he has been honest and con- scientious in the discharge of his duties and has exercised his best|this district. judgment in looking after the welfare of the county. for Bates | Jasper county congressional con- ‘vention last week, instructed for Charley Morgan.

This action was decided upon by the party managers xt a meeting of the excutive committee held in | this city a few days ago. Under the |law the republicans are compelled ito nominate a ticket or lose their | identity in this county as a party. ' - ; JUDGE CALVIN F. BOXLEY, | Our present able and efficient prose- | cuting attorney and’grand old wheel horse of democracy, places his an- nouncement in the Tires andasks a renomination. As works speak louder than words we point with both pride and pleasure to the Judge's adinin- istration during his present term in office. As a he has few equals in this section of the state. He has done his duty faithfully and welias the great num- ber of convictions through his efforts bear testimony. In renominating Judge Boxley no mistake will be made in getting a man thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of the office to the letter of the law. orosecuting attorne is 4 y The Ties pays the following compliment to Judge Fix: “We wish to do justice to Judge Fix, and say that he had the courage and manhood to stand by his party principles in this matter.” It may be proper to remark that Judge Fix is nor a candidate for re election.—Record. ‘ Judge Fix has served as a member of the court two terms, and the Times is glad to state that his record as an Official is above reproach, and that he has given the county a safe and conservative administration, and when it became necessary to deal with questions ina party sense, he bas shown himself to be a democrat beyond the shadow of doubt, rock- ribbed and iron bound. It may be proper to state that if Judge Fix wanted a renomination he could get it and his election would follow by an increased majority. JOHN O'DAY. The citizens of north Bates will be glad to learn that the above named gentleman has consented to offer himself as a candidate for as- sociate judge of our county court, for the north district. Mr. O'Day lives in Mound township, and is one of the largest and most successful farmers in this county. He has lived in Bates county for the past 14 years, and in the state 45 years. He is purely a self-made man, beginning life for himself at the age .of ten years,a poor boy, espousing the farm as a calling. By prudence, zeal and strict integrity he is now reaping the reward of his labors by standing upon his broad acres and preclaiming to the world, this is mine, by virtue of hard-earned dol- lars. No man in north Bates stands higher in the estimation of neigh bors than John O'Day, and it is of such material that safe and reliable officers to transact public business are made, and the convention could not find a better or more honora- ble man in the county to honor with the nomnaition. Just as soon as the eastern sena- tors get through making all the money they want speculating in stocks they will let the western and southern sevators pass the tariff bill. The managers of Coeur d’Alene silver mines are advertising for 4000 men to work at from $2 to $3a day. This 1s proabably a cunning device to keep the Coxeyites away from that part of the country.—Globe- Democrat. .

The nearest approach to a sensa tion occurred when Major Henry | Newman mentioned the name of Grover Cleveland. Twice there were iudicatious of ill feeling, but this soon passed off Of course the great interest of the day was centered in the committee platform and resolutions and its re- | port. The three offices the conven tion had to fill would never have at tracted anything like the attendance that came from every section of the State expressly to influence the party voice on national questions Everbody knew that the silver question was going to be introduced in some way in the convention's de- liberations, and the two great divisi- ons of bemetallists had marshalled each its utmost strength to maintain its own views.

Que, signed by all but four members of the commit- tee, declared for a restoration of the silver coinage laws prior to 1873. The minority report indorsed the platform adopted at Chicago in 1892. Shortly after midnight the fight was removed from the committee room at the Coates house to the con- vention hall At 2:15 o'clock the convention adjourned without adopt- ing either report. During the early part of the even- ing Francis M. Black was nominated for supreme judge by acclamation and W. T.

Finding he could not escape, Rose came back to town and surrendered to the sheriff. The people learning that he had been placed in custody, surrounded the jai! aud forced the sheriff to surrender the prisoner. | He was then taken to the railroad bridge over the Cottonwood river about a quarter of a mile east of the town and hung from the bridge Before dropping him he was asked if he had anything to say. “Nothing, gentlemen,” he replied coolly, “you are here to hang me, and it looks as if you would do it. I should have preferred to have been tried by law, however.” He was then asked if he wished to say anything else “No, I guess not,” said he, “ex- cept I hope God will have merey on my soul.” He was dropped about twelve feet and the rope nearly severed the head from the body. St. Paul, Minn., May 13.—The commonwealers who were yesterday refused au asylum at Minneapolis, camped near Fort Snelling last night and continued south today. The leader “Captain” Wilson, found St. Paul as hostile as Minneapolis. They camped to night at South St. Paul, where the people furnished them with a gcod supply of provisions.

Senator Peffer has embraced the of ex Governor Francis were prepar ed to insist that the convention should simply reiterate the national platform of 1892, and leave the fur- ther treatment of the problem to Congress and future national cone ventions. Opposed to them were the straight out free coinage advoeates, under Congressman Bland and Governor Stone. These last wanted an explicit demand made for free and unlimited coinage of silver dollars at the ratio} of sixteen to one, according to the law prior to 1873. The two factions seemed very equally diviled, and the contest for supremacy began the first thing in the morning and continued all day long. The first notes of discord were sounded in the district caucuses at 9:30 a. m. The selection of representatives for the committee on platforn and resolutions started the clashing, and it never stopped till the committee finally decided upon its report at nearly 11:30 at night. In the caucuses, of course the first trial of strength was made from the results they gave out it was appar- ent all day that the free silver men were to be be finally on top, unless their own ideas of policy and fair- ness induced them to recognize the rights of minority. The new state central committee is as follows: J. H. Carroll of Put nam, R. L. Lozier of Carroll, J. B. Thomas of Gentry, James Davis of Bates, Bernard Corrigan of Kansas City, H. W. Salmon of Henry, Dr. Brown of Saline, J. W. Zevely of Cole, Sam B. Cook of Audrain, A. C. Stenever of St. Louis. J. W. Rob- erts of St. Louis, C. C. Maffitt of St. Louis,Henry L.

Washington May 11.—In the sen- ate yesterday afternoon the first item in the tariff bill, acetic acid, was reached and the debate turned on an amendment by Senator Allison to substitute the Mills bill rate. It was adopted by a pacty vote. opportunity to feather his nest. He has secured for his son a good fat job with the Oxnard Sugar company of Nebraska. This firm drew more than $300,000 from the treasury last year on account of the sugar bounty. So you see even honest populists senators are suseptible to monopolists influence, and proves that all that gliters is not gold. For proof note Senators Peffer’s vote on the tariff bill and especially on the sugar schedule. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used.
