P. Rixey, State La- ‘or Commissioner. It is a very full saad complete report of statistics qgcatt hered, and represents much pains, warei@ research and hard labor. The aadustrial conditions of the state are @iven in a practfeal manner, with- @ut embellishment, and much valua- ‘dle information is contained therein. Awong other things he treats of the Public road eonditions in a very practical way, by giving pictures of wery bad, and good roads, showing st a glance the advantages derived @q the latter. oe A story is afloat in Frankfort, Ky., @o the effect that Colonel Colson, during the fight in the Capitol Hotel Robby, wore a shirt of mail. and that Mthis accounts for his escape from vdeath. It is pointed out that the weand in Colonel Colson’s arm has ~ewery appearance of having been caused by a deflected bullet and the -explanation is that the ball, after ewtriking the colonel’s steel shirt, s@kipped to his arm and smashed the feeme. As further evidence of the a#birt-of-mail story, it is said that if the kad not worn some protection of the sort he would have been killed by Seott, who was a good shot. “Coin on Money, Trusts and Im- werislism,” is the latest work by W. @ Harvey, author of “Coin’s Finan- eial School.” which was soextensively readin £896 and which contributed maore than any other work to the ed- weation of the masses on the money and banking questions, of which, up #e thas time, our people had a super- “Girial knowledge. The present work 3s indorsed by the democratic na- @jenal committee. We have read it ~wwuth much interest and it is pur Meorest belief that it is better than the fermer work. Mr. Harvey hasa ~way ef dealing with these great ques- @ions im such simple language and qizin, every-day illustrations that one wenders why he had not thought efit m that way before. He deals with the subjects set forth in the cap- ier. It would be a good thing if | WHY WE ARE FOR HIM. The contest for the democratic |nomination for Governor has nar- lrowed Cown between Hon. A. M. Dockery of Gallatin and Hon. D. A. | Ball, of Pike county. Asin all mat- | ters which come up before the people for settlement, Tue Times has a de- | cided preference between these gen- tlemen for that office. This prefer- ence is not based upon any personal reasons, for Tue Times has the kind- jest regards for both. We think the splendid public record’of Mr. Dockery for the past quarter of a century in our national congress warrants our people in selecting him as their chief magistrate with the full assurance that he will make an ideal governor of this great state: who, while he will see that all interests are protect. ed under the law, no special privileges and favored classes will have undue influence in the executive depart. ment. In Mr. Dockery’s long public career as a legislator, his voice and vote were always consistently demo- cratic and therefore right. On the tariff question he has struck sledge hammer blows to remove the burdens from the shoulders of the masses and compel the favored classes, fostered under republican rule, to bear their just proportion. He was, of course, with his party on the income tax, and labored zealously for that cause only to be cheated out of the fruits of a well earned victory by the verdict of a partisan court. On the question he has been a loyal, consist- ent advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silverat a ratio which would maintain the parity between the two metals, gold and silver and which he always Maintained could be done at 16 to 1. He was not only an aggressive, effective partisan ad- money vocate, but watched with jealous care the appropriations of the peo- ple’s money and at all times opposed extravagance in public expenditures. He was a man with clear insight into business methods and saw that the vast armies of clerks in the various departments were not necessary to a proper conduct of the public businesr. He saw that old, obsolete methods were used, crude in their form and bunglesome in their application. He made a fight before congress for a revision of those methods. He was successful and was appointed chair man of a committee on investigation and recommendation. So thorough and practical was his work that old systems were revised and new ones adopted whereby the business of the departments wasiacilitated, hundreds of clerks let out and thousands of dollars were saved to the country. Wearein favor of him because he will enter the campaign without en- tangling alliances, make a_ brilliant canvass and be elected by as large a majority as any man could command in the state. He is not only a sccial, genial gentleman, but an able de- bater, an eloquent and convincing speaker. We are for him because the people of the state are satisfied with his record and want him. We are for him because he will make a safe, conservative and able governor of whom the whole people ean be proud. DIDN’T VOTE FOR BRYAN. The campaign for the democratic nomination for judge of the Kansas City court ofappeals has become an- imated. Judge Turner A. Gill, who has served two terms, is a candidate to succeed himself. Other aspirants are Judge Richard Field, of xing- ton; Judge W. W. Wood, of War- rensburg; Judge E. J. Broaddus, J. C. Crawley, of Clinton and H. C. Tim- monds, Lama’ The charze las been made that Judge Gill did not vote for Bryan in 1896. Leis reported as saying in an interview: “It is true that I vot- ed for Passos and Buckner, and that Iam not an advocate of free silver. Tam not in favor of the gold stand- ard exactly, and if I am renominated Iwill support the nominees of the party. I voted for the democratic state ticket, from governor down. I do not think that my views on the money question should have anything to do with my candidacy for a place on the bench.""—State Tribuze. It was unquestionably Judge Gill's right to vote as his conscience: and judgment dictated, but if he chose to vote against the nominees of the democratic party he should have re- signed the office he held by demo- cratic suffrages. By his own admis- sion he assisted in defeating the head ot the democratic ticket. after that party had twice honored him with this hich office. He is not only serv- ing out his timein that office, but has the assurance to ask democrats to endorse his political treachery by a renomination. We think we know the temper of Bates county demo- crats well enough to assert that Judge Gill need not apply,and we believe that he will find the same con- every voter in the United States could | gition existing ina majority of the awead his book. | other counties. From the official manual of Mis- souri the following interesting state- ments as to the state’s resources are taken: Missouri produces more wheat than the states of New York, Ken- tucky and Texas combined. It is first in poultry and in mules. Its yield of hay surpassed that of Kentucky, Tennessee and New Jersey. It is not only first in zinc, but it produces as much of this metal as all the rest of the country. It has the largest lead producing mine in the United States. It has 16,000 business manufactories which turn out over $400,000,000 worth of goods annually. It has 6845 miles of raitroad. It has in St. Louis the third manufacturing city of the country, and in Kansas City the second live stock market of Amer- , ica. It is the third state inthe union in the number of its farms, and the first inthe amount of its available eash school fund. Its population to- 0,000. Mes. Morris’ Letter to EVERY WIFE AND MOTHER.

The Butler Times thinks that State dispensed with in the approaching campaign except at a considerable loss Mr. Seibert will not be a ean- didate for any office, but a move has been on foot for some time to make | him chairman of the state commit- tee when a new one is elected. In its eulogy of Mr. Seibert, perhaps the Times has this position in view. It is said he will not enter into a seram- ble for the place, but if it is tendered him he will accept it.—St. Louis Re- public. | THINK THERE WILL BE WAR. Bryan's Chances. Chicago Demoerat.

I thought the money issue was of such importance that it justified heroic efforts of all men to defeat the free coinage ofsilver. With | the present issue of imperialism be- fore the American people, it is impos- sible that Republican lines can be maintained unbroken. As an adroit party policy, it would be much wiser to keep the monoy question in abey- ance. With that unsettled, Republi- eans who are pronounced anti-im- perialists. might be held to the sup- port of Republican candidates. With it disposed of and imperialism the great issue, the men who in 18$ were known as gold democrats will be found solidly and aggressively for the Democratic nominees. It will divide the Republicans and solidify and strengthen their opponents. Don’t you know these are danger signals which point 10 pneumonia, bronchitis, or consumption itself?

Warrensburg, Mo., Jan. 18.—Mrs. Mamie Collins Carter, the young wife of Charles Carter, a prominent far- mer, play writer and ex-comedian, who lives near Holden, has commit- ted suicide. Mrs. Carter had been ill for several days and with her hus- band had been visiting her mother in this city. She was in cheerful spirits prior to her death and nothing indi cated her intentions. About 11 o’clock morning a shot was heard in her room, and her mother, rushing up stairs, found her danghter | on the floor, a pistol lying by her side and a bullet ‘hole through her head. The pistol was one purchased by her husband a few days before, but he had not loaded it and the fatal charge was evidently inserted by Mrs. Carter herself.
