Shelf Mudd and Andy Owen, democratic candidates for sheriff and treasurer, were in the city Tuesday. Both gentlemen report the party ip good shape all over the county. The democratic county ticket is composed of as good men as can be found in the county and every man on the ticket should and will receive the full support of the party. It is amusing to hear the Standard Oil gold bugs quoting scripture to the silver men. They and their col- league trusts have stolen billions of dollars frem a too patient people, and now they solemnly say, “thou shalt not steal.”—Rich Hill Tribune. Reeorder J. C.

He also received numer ous ents and bruises and injured his spine severely. He managed to get into Adrian where his wounds were dressed and he was sent back home. W. S. Baxter, of the Amoret Beacon,gave us a pleasant call Mon day. He gets out a good liye local paper for that section of the county. The Beacon bas come out squarely for Bryan and free silver and the ed itor in bis last issue sticks a few pins into Brother Atkeson for his dilitory ness and obscurity in the premises of the cause of Bryan and silver. Erank Hamilton <f Adrian, the Tribune's esteemed friend and fel low traveler, has pitched into the campaign as if he expected to be our next congressman. We admire his courage. Asit looks to us, he is leading a forlorn hope. His views on most questions are all right, but when Frank carries this district on “gound money” platform the day of miracles will be here.—Rich Hill Tribune. The Methodist conference in ses sion at Nevada, after a thorough ex amination fully exonerated Rev Pughsley, of Warrensburg, of the charge of immorality preferred against him by a nurse in a Kansas Gity. Rev. Pughsley was a patient at the hospital and the woman charged that he was the father of her illigitimate child. She asked the hand of the reverend gentleman in marriage and being refused pre- ferred the charge against him. The socalled populist papers in this state who persist in fighting Bryan and are attempting to dis rupt our party by condemning the action of the national convention should read the resolution unani mously adopted by the state com- mittee at its meeting last Saturday. And candidates and committeemen who are playing the same role should have enought decency to withdraw and not force upon the committee the painful necessity of ousting them.—Lamar Industrial. * Mrs. S. J. Fowler, of Stillwater, Okla., deserted her husband and eloped with a tramp hired man She took with her two smail children. The husband followed, and overtook the couple Friday at St. Joseph, where they had stopped. He called his wife to the gate and for a few minutes held a conversation. Then he suddenly drew a pistol and shot her dead. Fowler then placed the pistel to his temple and fired a bul- let into his brain’ The two children were at play on the sidewalk when the tragedy occurred Editor Tiwes:—We have organized a Bryan free silver club in Mingo township, with John Browngardt, president, J.
