A leave of absence has been granted him and he will eome home to spend the summer. General MacArthur will have com- mand in the Philippines during his absence. Convention hall at Kansas City will rise out of the ashes, grander and greater than ever. The hall will be completed and ready for the na- tional convention in July. The fire had not died out before the removal of the debris began for the new build- ing. Great is the enterprise and push of the people of Kansas City. A Washington dispatch says the wife of Admiral Dewey has left the Catholic church, which she joined a few years ago and in which her mar- riage to the Admiral occurred. She will hereafter attend St. John’s Epis- eopal church in which the Admiral has for years had a pew. “We will ram it down their throats as we did in 1865.° This is what Speaker Henderson said in caucus anent the Porto Rican tariff bill.

It says his time has | been busily employed in collecting a | duty on everything in sight and cen- jsoring dispatches which told traths reflecting unfavorably upon the prac- tical workings of imperialism, in withholding credit from deserving officers and manufacturing military reputations for favorites, etc. The least that can be said of General Otis is that he has been the willing tool of the MeKinley administration, bent upon fastening imperialism upon this country. General R. C. Horne made a bitter fight against the indorsement of Governor Stephens’ administration in Saline county. His home town- ship, Marshall, indorsed the governor by a vote of 3 to 1. The governor's administration has been indorsed by every county which has held its co: - vention and most of them have in- structed for him for delegate-at-large to the national convention. This should be very gratifying to Mr. Stephens and his friends and cerre- spondingly depressing to his enemies. ——— Another block of ground of three million acres is to be thrown open to white settlement in Oklehoma. The land is situated in the extremesouth- western quarter of Oklahoma terri- tory, being bounded on the north by the Wichita reservation and Washita county, Oklahoma, on the east by the Indian Territory proper, on the south by Texas and on the west by dates. Neverin the history of the state will so many candidates be nominated by acclamation, and never has the party been more har- monious and united on all the lead- ing issues. The indications are that Missouri will give the largest demo- eratic majority in her history this fall. We desire to call special attention to the announcement of J.8. Pierce for county treasurer. Polk Pierce, as heis familiarly known, came to Bates county with his father, Uncle George W. Pierce, from Tennessee, in 1853, and has since lived here except the years attending the civil war, when he was in the confederate ser- vice. He has lived a farm the greater part of the time, just west of Butler. He has been an honest, in- dustrious, frugal citizen, paying his honest debts to the cent and no man ean point to a little, mean or honorable act he ever committed. He came of good old democratic stock, and bas been a working mem- ber of the party from his majority, and never seratched a democratic ticket. He has served the people in a number of townshipand city offices with fidelity, and to their entire sat- on dis- isfaction. He never held county of- fice. Two years ago he was a candi- date for treasurer against Andy Owen, one of the most popular men in the county and made a very eredit- able race. He is well qualified to perform the duties of the office, is deserving asa citizen and a party man, and no mistake would be made if Polk Pierce nominated for county treasurer. was News comes from Washington that Senator Hanna has begun his fat- frying process much earlier than ual, and ona more elaborate scale than ever before in the history of politica! parties in this county. He selected about a dozen of the most important and wealthiest trusts in the country and assessed them $6,- 000,000, A letter was sent to each one pointing out the immense profits realized by them under the present republican administration, and re- minding them that to enjoy such profits in the future it was necessary that Mr Mckinley bere-elected. This great campaign fund, it is pointed out, is necessary on account of the evident and increasing strength of the democratic party. The demo- eratie success in Columbus, Ohio, wherea republican majority of 25.000 was wiped out, and in Kansas City, where the democrats elected the mayor for the first time since 1892, has but added to the republican alarm and the hasteto get their cam- paign boodle in actlon > Col.

Near the center of the tract-is Fort Sill reser- ation of 50,000 acres. The land to be opened makes a total of 13,000 farms. The Kentucky republicans hope for a decision in their favor because the United States Supreme Court has a republican majority. The highest Kentucky Court which has just decid- ed against them, has a democratic majority. If all cases are to be de- cided according to the polities of the judges, the making of laws is a great waste of time and money.—Post Dis- patch. Lincoln Post of Topeka, the largest Grand Army organization in Kan- sas, met Saturday night and adopt- ed resolutions denouncing Admira) Dewey and demanding that his invi tation to attend the next national encampment be revoked. This all occurred since Admiral Dewey de- clared himself a democrat and a pres- identialcandidate. The democrats of the house in eau- cus on the Puerto Rican tariff bill decided unanimously to oppose the bill tothe bitter end. Democratic congressmen absent from Washing ington have been urgently requested to return at once and place them- selves on record when the bill comes up for passage. - A dispatch from New York says the nomination of W. J. Bryan at Kansas City, will not be opposed by any democrat of influence in the state. On Oct. 11, the democratic state committee met, and by a vote of 45 to 3, passed 42 resolution as- suring Mr. Bryan of its loyal sup- port. If Funston is to be court martialed and punished in the slightest degree for hanging two Filipinos, what pun- ishment would be too great for those responsible for the slaughter of the thousands of those natives of that island since the beginning of this war of conquest. Pingree Against McKinley. Detroit, Mieh.. April 7.—Gov. Pin- gree said to-day: “IL don’t know anything about Dewey's candidacy or his platform. This isa free country and there is nothing to prevent the Admiral from being a eandidate if he wants to. But personally lam against any ecandi- date who favors the policy of imad- rialistic expansion.” “Then you are not in favor of Pres- ident McKinley?” “I'm not in favor of any champion of imperialism, and if that hits Me- Kinley allright. That's all I've got to say about it.” McLean Engages Quarters. Kansas City, Mo.. April 6 —John R. McLean, brother-in-law of Admi- ral Dewey. has engaged elaborate quarters at one of the leading hotels for the democratic convention in July. The rooms are very choice, and it is hinted that they are to be shared by Admiral Dewey.

Washington, April 7.—Admiral Dewey, who returned last night with Mrs. Dewey from Philadelphia, says he expects to have ready in a few days a statement forthe press. In response to inquiries the Admiral said : “Certainly Iam a democrat. I have always been a democrat. But Inever voted in my life. The only man lever wanted to vote for was Mr. Cleveland.” Senator Cockrell of Missouri says Dewey’s candidacy will have abso- lutely no effect on the presidential election and that he does not believe the gold democrats are behind the Dewey movement. “It may be,” he added, “that that element welcomes Dewey's aunounce- captured Filipinos, | To court-martial the gallant | | general Funston who swam streams | and captured whole regiments of na- tives single handed, as told in the) those | Women who suffer constantly with weakness peculiar to their sex cannot retain their beauty.

In my opinion, the Dewey candidacy isa matter perfectly unimportant. It scarcely will affect one democratic vote in the country, is substanceless, without organization or torce, will not grow stronger and is not worthy of serious consideration.” Senator Jones of Arkansas, who is chairman of the democratic national committee, said : “Ido not wish to say a word un- complimentary to Admiral Dewey, but I think he has been surrounded by bad advisers. Do I think there is anything behind his announcement deserving of serious consideration? Most certainly I do not. Ido not think the Dewey candidacy will have the slightest bearing upon the result of the coming election. It will not lessen our strength by one vote. It has none of the elements necessary to growth. It is wholly without im- portance. Those of us who admire the admiral feel very sorry for the position he has taken. To say the least, it was ill advised.” NMED Know ll about the nausea, sick headache, and general weakness of the whole body.
