Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 9.—Both the politicians and business men of this city are bending their energies to the task of securing the location of the next national democratic conven- tion. This contest seems to have narrowed down to the two cities of Milwaukee and Kansas City, and every Missourian is warmly the friend of Kansas City. The opinion is being daily strengthened here by the trend of events that the chances of Kansas City have materially improved, and there will be no abatement of all proper efforts to make this young giant city of western Missouri a win- ner. State politics is beginning to at- tract the attention of the people of Jackson county. The forty-two votes of this county are necessarily an im- portantffactor in any state conven- tion, and are sought after by all of the candidates, from governor to railroad commissoner. In a contest for state delegates the two opposing forces of the democratic party are usually marshaled under the leadership of Joe Shannon on the one side, and James Pendergast on the other. It is very unusual for these contestants for local control to agree upon the candidacy of any aspirant for a state office. The last week, however, has made it plain that both of these elements of the party are earnestly supporting the eandidacy of Mr. Dockery for gover nor. Both of them have made public » thought for hereelf, she remained | announcements of their loyalty to her place and guided the horses in | his interests.

In this connection it is in- teresting to note the statement of a reliable gentleman who has taken the trouble to ascertain the attitude of the chairmen of the Democratic County Central committees of the State in respect to the candidates for Governor.

D., Feb, 8.—Mary Staf- ord, a school teacher in Hill settle- , Minn., just across the state } i with seventeen of her young pu- 3 Js, was lost ina raging blizzard on Wednesday night. and that all did meet with death during the terri- night is dueto Miss Stafford’s + heroism. Although she suffered n hands, feet and face, her wee ges are all safe. igs Stafford isas kind a teacher ever assumed charge of a western 3 ment school, and it was this ait that brought her all thetrouble dnesday night. The past few days had been exceed- pleasant, and as considerable gow still remained on the ground, she concluded a sleigh ride would be the thing for her pupils. She is ding with the family of Samuel idge, a farmer, and had no ouble in securing permission to use | steam of horses and a bob sleigh for theevening. The party arrived safe- ‘at Sisseton at 9 o’clock, and with hearts started on the return. 4 were not three miles out of here before the first installment of the storm struck. This was not se- lyere,and Miss Stafford did not at ime anticipate trouble. Grad- lly the storm increased in severity, d the roadway across the prairie soon completely obliterated. he beating wind and snow soon as- umed the proportion of a gale, and en Miss Stafford realized that they were at the mercy of a northwestern blizzard. The increasing gravity of the situ- tion only stimulated her to greater ions. She crowded the little s together, saw that they were red with the straw that she had , eed in the bottom of the rack and | h with her own wraps.

Itisa significant fact that Con- gressman DeArmond’s speech at the democratic harmony dinner of the National Civie Club of Brooklyn, in which he urged democrats to forget j all other differences and stand solid in opposition to imperialism, should have created a profoundly favorable impression on the minds of eastern Democrats. Mr. De Armond’s hearers are also probably correct in believing that the Missouri Congressman sounded the Democratic keynote of the next cam- paizn with hisimpassioned utterance, “Tam forthe Republicand against the Empire.”’ This is far more than a skill- fully conceived catch-phrase to tickle theearand to capture the imagina_ tion. It indicates the choice to be made by Americans in the approach- ing elections—we must decide between the imperiallism of the pres- entadministration and the democra- cy upon which the Republic was foun- ded and through which alone may its existence as a free goverment be per- petuated. Mr. De Armond’s temperamental characteristic must havs added force to his argument on the occasion men- tioned. He is not of that nature to surrender to the temptation which leads orators to depend for their effects upon cunning word-mongering. His mind is clear, deliberate and log- ical in its methods. He appeals to reason of his listeners rather than to their passions. The New York Herald says of his Brooklyn speech that it was generally conceded to be the most impressive effort of the evening and State Senator McCarren of Kings County, New York, who does not agree with Mr. De Armond on all issues, declares that “It was a splendid speech, full of logic and well expressed.”’ Bank of Malden Robbed. Dexter, Mo., Feb. 8.—This morn- ing at 3 o'clock burglars broke into the Bank of Malden, eighteen miles south of here, and blew open the safe and secured about $4,000 in cash. The discharge of dynamite used awoke John Gregon, a roomer in the building. He gave thealarm to Mar- shal Davis, who came upon the scene in time to open fire upon the burglars as they were raking the money intoa sack. They escaped in the darkness with their booty. Bloodhounds were put upon their track at noon, and they were tracked to ‘Nigger Wool Swamp.” Three men were concerned in the robbery, but no description of them is given. For Fear of a Lynching. West Plains, Mo., Feb. 10.—Ben Richardson and Ed Grady, the con- victed murderers of Jailer Alfred Henry, unannounced and strongly guarded, were taken from the jail here, and removed to the jail at Springfield for safe keeping. Rumors of the organization of a mob had reached the judge and sheriff and this move was immediately de- cided upon. The prisoners will be taken to Jef- ferson City as soon as the quarantine at the penitentiary is raised. Sugar Refineries Closing Down. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 7.—Under orders from the officials of the Amer- ican Sugar Refining company the Spreckels refinery here has closed, throwing out of employment, 1,000 men. It was announced to-day at McCahan’s refinery, which is a rival of the American Sugar Refining com- pany, that the plant will be teinpo- rarily closed withina few days. Near- ly 2,000 men are employed at this place. Beats Out His Brains. Hopkinsville, Ky., Feb. 11.—Early to-day at Cherry Station, Tenn. jacross the Kentue line, Jim Gor- |don, a negro farm hand, enraged be- }eause Mrs. George Rollins, a highly |respected white woman, refused to} |} give him some moyey, savagely at-] } tacked her and cut her throat with al butcher knife.

On the way between here and Jop- lin he traded hurses four times, and | when arrested he had aset of harness that he had stolen the previous night. | He came to Kansas without a requi-} sition to keep out of the hands of the Missouri authorities, who, he said, “have it in for him.” A Night of Terror. “Awful anxety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnhan of Machias, Me., when the doctors said she would die from pneumonia before morning’’ writes Mrs. S.
