Funeral services were held on Tues- day. Judge Black was one of the ablest jurists in the state. Several members of the supreme court and a large namber of prominent lawyers from different sections of the state attended his funeral, _ The cost of the Philippine war for the fiseal year ending June 80, 1901 was $186 per head for the entire population of the United States. Our increased exports to the islands amount to 5 cents per head for the entire population of the United States. This is the “magnificent commercial opportunity” afforded by the retention of the islands.—Com- moner, \ correspondent in tha Record says: The first thing to do is to name a good strong ticket that will have the confidence and respect. of every good citizen, no matter what his party politics may be, and one that will appeal to the voters as safe and sound.” That is exactly what the demo- cratic party in Bates county has already done and the voters arefully aware of that fact. W. 0. Atkeson writes an letter” to the publie through the Republican-Press. The editor of that piper adds in the eaption: “Evi dently Sincere.” Bro. Funk must have had some misgivings about the people taking At. seriously, and we ean say to him, confidentially, that his fears are well grounded. A man who could denounce the republican party and all its policies while advis- ing the people tesave the country by voting the populist ticket, then in less than two years, with equal ve- hemence advise the same people to vote the repabliean ticket, should } not find fault if his sincerity is ques-| tioned. “open Democratie county convention at Nevada last Saturday selected the following delegates to the Spring- field judicial convention and while no instructions were given it is under- stuod they are for Wy.

Some peopie are quiet because they have nothing to say, others for the reason that they know no- thing to say, but our reason for being quiet is that we have been so busy selling the Light Running Milwaukee Binder, and we have sold them. If you are in need of a binder buy the best, and its full name is Milwaukee. It does not have to change its name to hide its identity. It never done anything that it was ashamed of, perfectly balanced and needs no tender to hold up It never aggravated its owner when It never hurt a horse’s neck for it is the tongue. he had but three horses, by having to go out and borrow the fourth one, and if one of the three got indisposed turns it in the calf pasture, the other two can walk along with it. You never have to leave the driver’s seat to raise or lower the ma- chine. You can raise or lower the entire machine while driving along, with one lever. You can ¢ your wheat or stubble 16 inches high. Another feature found on this king of the harvest is the carrying spring, Which save the machine on rough land, and makes a ride on the Milwaukee a pleas- ure trip.

Osceola, Mo., May 26 —At a mass meeting of the citizens of St. Clair county this afternoon, General John B. Henderson, representing a num- ber of the holders of the county's re- pudiated railroad bonds, made a proposition that opens the way fora settlement of this celebrated fight. The proposition was agreed to by a unanimous vote. No specific sum was named by General Henderson as a basis for settlement, neither was any demand made by the citizens, The amount is to be fixed by Judge John F. Philips, of the federal court, and then submitted to the voters of the county in the form of a funding bond proposition, the bonds to. run interest. A call was made for an election Saturday afternoon, June 7, at which each of the townships in the county is to select three delegates to meet in Osceola on the following Monday, June 9. At that time the delegates are to fix the time fora conference to be held in Kansas City by the delegates from the townships, The judge-of the federal court and General Henderson, representing cer- tain holders of the bonds. This con- ference is to determine the amount to be submitted to the people. It was also decided at the meeting | # to petition Judge Philips to allow the county judges to meet without molestation by the deputy marshals, so they may assist in the efforts to bring about a settlement. General Henderson, however, gave assurances that the court had no disposition to interfere with any honest effort to ! settle the trouble. Would Accept Xo Statue ofa King.
