Dave Bean, who was on the sick list last week, was in town Monday. CW Wolfe was out in Kansas last week. He came to a large field of cuckleburs and seeing some men’s heads sticking up above the burs, he took off his hat and said ‘‘hurrah for McKinley!” To his surprise they just raised up all over the patch and said “Hurrah for Bryan!” Last week we had comparative quiet along the political line with now and then a howl coming from the timber about how things are go- ing on. I think but few changes have taken place at present. Monday night Judge DeArmond spoke to a large audience in the Christian church. As the hall would not accommodate half the people, the church officers kindly opened the church for the benefit of their neighbors who wanted to hear Judge DeArmond. They will long be remembered fortheir kindness shown on that night. People of all parties were out to hear the talk and every thing went off quietly. The Judge did not say much about the tariff question, but thought the income tax principle was all right. Next on the program is the Club meeting Friday night. The republicans and prohibitionists will hold meetings next week. AARON, Ballard Items. Farmers have commenced gather- ing corn.

St Louis, Mo, Oct. 11 —Consid- erable of a furore has been created in local political circles over the dis charge of twelve clerks by Mr. Du- gald Crawford, proprietor of a large departwert store in this city, for the reason, it is alleged, that they in tended to vote for William J. Bryan for President. Chairman S. B. Cook of the demo- eratic State central committee has engaged ex Governor Charles P. Johnson, a noted criminal lawyer, to take the case up and cause Mr. 3742 of the Revised Statutes of Mis- souri, which make his alleged offense a misdemeancr, punishabie by im- prisonment. ‘The Missouri corrupt practice act, Mr. Cook said, is also applicable to this case.

Fears Rum anda Jail St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 13.—Dovgatd Crawtord, the big dry goods merch- ant who discharged a baker's dozen of his men last Saturday because they announced their intention of voting for Bryzn and Sewall, has re- pented his action, and to day, over his own siguature, in u public letter says he will take the men back.

I desire every man in my employ to vote as he pleases, but I believe every man who carefully studies existing conditions should vote for MeKunley. To allow all of my employers to vote as they please, and have ample time to do so, I have decided to close the store of D. Crawford & Company at 1 p. m, on November 3d.” MURDER OF A STOCKMAN.
