Itis a very grave offense, and while we have no persoual knowledge It is getting to be the custom to talk very flippantly of buying votes.

M. BURKHART, Than whom no better man, worthy citizen or reliable democrat | lives in the county, is a candidate for County Judge.

He is a prominent and successful farmer, a very clever and courteous gentleman under all circumstances, possesses splendid judgment, has the courage of his convictions and is not afraid to do what he thinks is right at all trmes. Squire Burkhart has been repeatedly elected to offices of honor and trust in his township and always fulfilled the expectations of his friends He has been a democrat all his life, and never fails to take an active part in the interest of his par- ty. He would make Bates county a splendid judge, economical, without parsimony, a believer in public im- prevements cireumscribed by the county's revenue.

W. T. JOHNSON Has a -lear field for renomination for County Treasurer, and if efficiency in office; kindness and courtesy te all who have business with him counts, he is certainly deserving of the unan- imous renomination and_ election without opposition. Mr. Johnson is an old citizen of thecounty, spending a term of years on afarmin Elkhart township and afterwards moving to Rich Hill, where he became deserved- iy popular and was rep-atedly elect- ed collector, a much sought after office in that township. He has made a spledid officer, his records are up in good shape, and the coun- ty’s money safely guarded and ac- counted for. Mr. Johnson came of good old democratic stock and has always been # pillar of strength to that party. His nomination will add strength to the ticket amd he will be re-elected by an increased ma. jority. A. B. LUDWICK came of good old pioneer stock, his parents coming to this county from Virginia in the early days long be- fore the war. His father, John L. Ludwick, served with distinction in the Confederate army under “Pap” Price. Bruce was born and raised in this county, was educated at our publie schools and Academy. He studied law and was graduated from the Kansas City law schools, and en- tered actively into the practice"of his profession in this county. When J P. Thurman resigned as circuit clerk, he was appointed by Governor Dock- ery, and so efficient and popular of- ficer did he make that many of his friends urged him to run for that of- fice, but he was devoted to his profes- sion and the duties of the clerk’s office jwould take him out of the active | practice. He was a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney two years ago citizenship. “This nefarious practice, if carried on in Butler, should cease, if not, some of the guilty ones will be brought up with a jolt, and find themselves called be- fore the bar of justice to answer for | this serious crime against citizenship, i recommended that the seat be de- clared vacant. Butler, the demo- cratic candidate was elected to con- gress in the campaign of 1900 bya large majority over Horton, repub- lican, who contested the seat on the ground of fraudulent voting. and his popularity was attested by the strong race he made.

Pritchett, a wealthy citizen, was instantly killed, andJohn Belew, a prominent farmer, fatally wounded. A difference existed between the men over some business transaction, and when they met on the streets of the village this morning Pritchett drew a revolver and shot Belew in the mouth and arm. Belew then drew a pistol, and, though perhaps fatally wounded himself, shot Prit- chettin the head and through the heart. With a bullet through his heart, Pritchett fired a third shot at Belew, but missed, Pritchett then fell to the ground and expired. Both men were prominent. Prit- chett was one of the wealthiest men of the section. He was an extensive land owner and tobacconist. He was possessed of an ungovernable tem- per, and was known as a dangerous man when angered. He has figured ina number of sensational escapades in the past few years. Belew’s death is expected. The coroner's vardhich: exonerated Belew. Secretary of State Sam B. Cook is calling down the republican defamers of our fair state. He is issuing a hand book on that question which should be read by every Missourian. We publish a short synopsis of same in another celumn. Sam Cook is an open fighter, a hard hitter and can be depended upon at all times, He is making an ideal secretary of state and will make a governor that Mis- sourians can be proud of.

How many mothers realize that when the baby’s advent is expected they need strength for two instead of one. Wom- en, weak, nervous, “just able to — around,” find themselves confront with coming maternity. They have not strength enough for themselves, how can they have strength to give a child? We don't look for the birth of stron ideas from a weak mind. Why shoul we expect the birth of strong children from weak mothers? The way to ensure health and stren; to mother and child is to use Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription | as a preparative for | motherhood. It} brings the mother's | strength up to the | requirements of nat- | ure, so that she has strength to give her child. It nourishes ; the nerves and so quiets them, It en- courages a natural appetite and induces refreshing sleep. “Favorite Prescrip- tion” makes weak women strong and sick women well. There is no alcohol in “Favorite Pre- scription” and it is free from opium, co- caine and all other narcotics. "1 wish to let you know the great benefit my wife derived through taking your ‘Favorite Prescription,’” writes Mr. Robert Harden, of Brandon, Manitoba, Box 235. ‘It was when her baby came, We had heard so much of your medicine that my wife decided to try ft (1 may say my wife's age was thirty-three and this was her first child), She commenced to take ‘Favorite Prescription ' five months be- fore her child was born, We have a fine healthy at this was mainly owing to the ‘Favorite cription,’ taken faithfully according to directions, We shall certainly rec- ommend it wherever we can.” Dr, Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, paper covers, is sent /ree on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to, pay expense of mailing on/y, Address Dr, R.

Omaha, Neb., March 24.—Frank Moran, aged 50 and worth $65,000, has starved himself to death. Throughout last winter he refused to spend money to buy adequate cloth- ing, and his daily meals consisted of crackers and cheese. In a 10-cent restaurant last night he became un- conscious and was taken toa hospi- tal, where he died this morning. Physicians Say death was caused by insufficient nourishment. In his clothing was found $500 in cash. He relatives here. Was Wanted in Many Places.

Was Whipped to His Death. Higbee, Mo., March 22.—The dead body of Oliver Wright, negro, was found near here today. His back and arms were one mass of scarsand bruises and his clothing was torn t shreds and scattered along the high way. Everything indicated that a death struggle had taken place. It is gen- erally believed he was whipped to death, and all evidence goes to show that such was the case, but who the parties were or why they killed him is not known, Brother Was Vindictive, Albany, N. Y., March 22.—John Detierre, a well-known business man, shot and instantly killed his brother, William, here to-day. The cause of murder was a feud as the result of their father leaving the bulk of his fortune to the eldest son and disin- heriting the remainder of the family, John met his brother and a quar- rel imm diately ensued. A few mo- ments later he drew his revolver and shots-into Wittianrs body, He immediately re-loaded his pistol and aiter searing back the crowd that had quickly gathered he fired ¥ seven more shots into his brother's prostrate form, Policemen arrested the murderer and he was locked up just in time to save him from injury at the hands of the bystanders.
