FOR JUDGE,* NORTH DIs. We are authorized to announce the name of John W Coleman, of Spruce township, for Associate Judge of county court for the north- ern district, subject to the action of the demo- eratic convention June Ist, 1596. Up to date the gold standard democrats are making a mighty poor showing in the selection of delegates to the Sedalia convention. The building being erected in Chi- cago to accommodate the democratie national convention covers 5 acres 100 feet wide and will seat 15,000 of ground. It is 300 feet long by people. Twelve thousand Italian emigrants arrived in N. Y. last month. At that rate the Italian emigrant will soon become as obnoxious to the Ameri can laborer as the Chinese. The voice of every county in the state which held a convention Satur day to select delegates to Sedalia was registered in favor of free silver and Stone, Bland, Vest and Cockrell asthe big four delegates from the state at large to Chicago. Sener The republican A. P. A. ticket, backed by the saloon element, gam blers and toughs, was a success in Kansas City at Tuesday’s election. The decision is a backward step for the city, but no doubt will work good in the end. Ex president Harrison and Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmick were united in marriage Monday. The ceremony took place in St. Thomas’ church, New York, Dr. Wesley Brown, rector, officiating. There were but twenty persons present. Mr. Harrison's daughter, Mrs. McKee, and son, Russell, were not present. Congressman Burton is quoted as saying that McKinlny believes in the “liberal coinage of silver.” Will Mr Burton kindly furnish a diagram with this observation. Without eyi- dence to the contrary, we incline to believe it means just the course Bur ton pursued—-advocated free coinage on the stump and voted against it in Congress. He was “liberal”—with promises, only.—Clinton Democrat. | The Kansas City Times charges that Mayor Webster Davis, and re publican candidate for accompanied by James M. Jones, police judge, and republican nominee for mayor of Kansas City, spent easter Sunday visiting the saloons in the city and setting up the drinks to the bar room loafers. The Times gives the names of the saloons visit ed and is respousible for its utter anances,therefore the statements can not be attributed as campaign lies Now what have the Bates County republicans to say of their idol for governor, who spends easter Sunday in the saloons drinking, treating and mixing with the bums to get their votes in the city election. governor, | Republican State Convention to | nominate a State ticket, Springfield, | July 22 tepublican State Convention to |nominate delegates to National Con- | vention, St. Joseph, May 27.

Forty six counties have elected delegates to the state convention to be held at Sedalia, April 15, for the election of delegates to the national convention. Every county so for has elected solid silver delegations and declared in positive terms far the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. More than two-thirds cf the counties mentioned have instructed their del egates fora solid silver delegation of uncompromising silver men to the Chicago convention, and have instructed for Bland, Stone, Vest and Cockrell for desegates at large. We are again informed that the Democratic party is dead. We heard that in 1868; it looked like it was true in 1872; but proved to be a lie again in 1876; bobbed up again in 1880, but was put to sleep in 1884, it missed fire in 1888, and was lost sight of in 1892, but here it comes again in 1896—same old story, told by the same sort of people, and just as true as it ever was. Long after the Republican party has been laid away uader the jimpson along with the Iederalists, the Whigs and the Know Nothings, the Democratic party will continue to flourish, and men and women yet unborn will re- joice in their old age that they had always voted the Democratic ticket. —Pleasant Hill Gazette. The Times takes pleasure this week in presenting the name of John W. Coleman of Spruce township, as a candidate for the office of Judge of our county court for the north district. Mr. Coleman is one of the most solid, substantial and suc cessful farmers of his township. Through his own exertions and shrewd financiering he has accumu lated 400 acres of fine land which he has well stocked and equipped and which is substantial evidence that trusted with the important office of associate judge he would use the same diligence, prudence and care in public as in private business af- fairs. Mr. Coleman is 42 years of age, held the office of Justice of the peace of his township for 14 years, is a democrat of the old school. ner- er sratched a ticket or had a desire to do so and never missed voting at an election. Such a man is worthy the hearty and united support of his party. To those in tho district who may not be acquainted with Mr. Coleman the Tres has no hesitancy in introducing him as a gentleman in every sense of the word and as a man worthy their confidence, esteem and support. An open confession of the inability of the republicans to legislate is contained in Senator Platt’s resolu- j tion providing for the adjournment of Congress on May 2, and Mr. Platt clinches the confession by saying of his resolution: “It is perfectly clear that there will be no important legis lation this session except the appro- priation bills, aud I see no reason | for remaining here merely for the | Purpose of introducing and talking ; Upon agitating resolutions, and am |persuaded that the country would be better satified to have us at home| If that isn’t | than to have us here.” jhumiliating, coming jwhich controls both ar m 8 party branches of | Congress and which made such won-| derful promises of what it was going to accomplish in a legislative way when it again got control, pray what |} {would you call it?-Stockton Journal. oh, Mo., April 2 —Charles Kurth, a pressman employed in a job printing office became insane last night while running a press and body into the wheels.

The committee on resolutions re- ported the following, which were unanimously and enthusiastically adopted: Be it resolved by the democrats of Bates county, in convention assem- bled, as follows: Ist, That the democracy of Bates county are in favorof the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio of sixteen to one, in- dependent of every other nation. 2nd, That the democrats of Bates county endorse the magnificent fight made by Missouri’s able senators, Hon F M Cockrell and Hon George G Vest, for the rights of the people against the money power of New England and Europe. 3rd, That the unswerving devotion to the interests of his people and the masterful manner in which he has at all times advocated and defended their cause has won for Hon. D. A. DeArmond, our able and efficient congressman the admiration and gratitude of our people, and we un- qualifiedly endorse his course in con- | gress. 4th, That we favor the election of | US senators by a direct vote of the people. j of a graduated income tax whieh will |compel the wealth of the country to | bear it’s joint share of the expense of the government. 6th, That the present state admin- istration has beer jthea overnor | william ne has eonducted the affairs the state has won f the admiration of the people, and we condemn, as unjustifiable and un- democratic, the effort be made by bri ing moved that the roll of the differen townships be calied and that on suc roll-eal township having ate shail nominate up a second roll-eall, didates receiving the high- | est number of votes shall be declared | the delegate vided they havea | majority of t Y i } 5th, That we favor the imposjtion | { ‘Gladness Comes itha better understanding of the transient gature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. tion. Major Bradley thereupon placed in nomination the Hon DA DeArmond, in which he was heartily seconded by several townships.

Kentucky’s Loss by Flood, Lexington, Ky., April 3—The re- cent cloudburst in Clay and Owsley counties was more diasastrous than at first reported. Buffalo Creek, which is across the south fork of the Kentucky river, suffered more than Sexton Creek by the unusual rainfall. The stream is as crooked as a worm fence and is closely hedg- ed about by steep hills, so that the water rose more rapidly than it did }ou Sexton Creek. It washed away every house on the bank of the stream. Miss Mary Garrett was drowned while trying to escape the flood. George Dapson’s wife and three children, two children of Will Burns, and two others whose names are uot given were also drowned Mr. John Crave, a logger, rescued his wife and child as they were drift- ing down the stream on some up- rooted trees.

Officers Sent Back to Spain. Havana, April 2—The capture of Pinar del Rio and Santa Clara by the insurgents, who occupied them several hours and left them in flames.’ is a severe blow to the Spanish arm- ies. General Luis Maria Pando and General Alvaro Suarez Veldez, the military Governors of the destroyed cities, have been ordered to return to Spain by Captain General Weyler. The Captain Genera! is badly wor ried over the situation. He thought } he had Pinar del Rio so strongly guarded that it was absolutely im- possible for Maceo's forces to break in. But in the middle of the night of March 25 they came and literally laid the town in ashes. Of several hundred residences not more than a couple of dozen were left uninjured. | Bill for a Uniform Flag. Washington, D. C, April 2— Senator Lodge to day introduced a bill providing that monthly publi- cations entered as second class mat- ter shall be charged at the same rate of postage as weekly publica tions. Mr. Sherman introduced a bill which provides for the use of a flag by the army and navy after the the year 1900 which shall be of uni-; form proportions and haye the same arrangement of stars. It prescribes that the blue field shall be square and two-fifths the length and seven thirteenths the width ot the flag, having in it one white star to repre sent each State of the Union. There are to be three stars in each corner and a central stararound which shall be entwined a sufficient number of stars to bring the total up to the requisite number. The stripes are to be of equal width. Editor Sued for Livel.
