Mudd as sheriff of Bates county very closely and with a crit- ical eye. He brought to the office that brawn and sinew that a long and active life on the farm will give, with a clear mind and courageous spirit. Every expectation and hope of his friends have been more than realized, in that he has made one of the very best sheriffs the county ever had. The Times feels like con- gratulatiag him and the democratic party, for he bas not only reflected credit upon himself, but upon the party responsible for his election. He is a native of Kentucky, came to Bates county in 1873 with his parents and located in East Boone township, where he has since lived, with exception of a few years he was in the west engaged in contracting, in which venture he was very suc- cessful, working a large force of hands, and where he learned to control men as well as himself. He is a stalwart specimen of manhood, clever, courteous and accommodating to all who have business with him, courageous in the discharge of his duty and utterly devoid of physical fear. Heisthe soul of honor and true to his friends. Bates county may have had as goed, but no better officer since her organization. There is no man in the county whose candidacy the Tiuus can reter to with more pleasure than that sterling democrat, genial gentleman and substantial citizen, Sam West, candidate for Presiding Judge ot the courty court. Mr. West came to Bates county in the early days and materially assisted in bringing the broad prairies to yield to man’s neceagities. To such men is the de- velopment of this rich and resource- ful county largely due. He eerved bis country with distinction in the army and returned to this border county in time to assist in the en- franchisement of her people and no man did more for the democratic party in those stirring days. He came to Butler a few years ago from Walnut township, whore every man is bis friend and he is held in the highest esteem by members of all partier. He is a broad-minded gen tleman, with due regard for opin- ions of others, but firm in his con victions at duty’s call. He is well qualified for this important office and would make Bates county a pre- siding judge second to none she ever had. The name of Andy B. Owen can be found in our announcsmeat col- umos, asking the endorsement of the party of his two years term as county Treasurer by a re nomination to that office. When Andy Owen was nomi- nated and elected it was prophesied by those who knew him bost that he would make one of the most prefi- cient and popular officials ever io the court house; this prediction has been verified to the letter and he is to day stronger with the people than ever before. He is a true son of Bates county, to the manor bora. All his life has been spent among our people and not one single act can be| pointed out that would reflect the least discredit upon his standing as| acitizea, ora gentleman.

He has never been rec- ompensed for the money he was compelled to spend as the party nominee, and has always felt that sometime the party would recognize his claims. He served as deputy under Mr. West in the Recorder's office, and bz records show he was one of the most proficient clerks the office ever bad. He served the peo- ple of Adrian as postmaster under the last democratic administration, and those best able to judge unhesi- tatingly say that he was the best is a courteous, clever gentleman, would make a very popular and ef- ficent officer.

Dr. DeWitt Talmage, the great! preacher, siys there will be no war with Spain. In discussing the Spanish complication at Wabash, Indiana, the other day, Mr. Talmage said: “I have come direct from Waskington, and I want to tell you now that we wiil have no war with Spain. Tho action of congress in appropriating $50,000,000 for the national defens3 settled that and settled it conclusively.” In the management of the peni tentiary an excellent showing is be-| ing made by Warden Starke. His report for February shows a clear balance to the credit of tho state, above all expenses, of $5,000 Mr. Starke insisted from the start that the prison could ke made self sus taining and the February showing is conclusive evidence that he was right.

Washington, D.C., March 19.— By a vote of 136 to 99 the House today refused to concur in the sen- ate free homes amendment to the Indian appropriation bill.

But the chances are that the senate will yield and the free homes bill is dead until the next congress. | We often hear disparaging re- marks about Missouri, says Des Moines, Ia, Capital, but its variety condition of products and manu factures that warrants the declara tion that if a wall were built around the state its people could subsist at all times without aid from the outer world.
