JOSEPH CONVENTION Nominates an Excellent Ticket---Hold a Love Feast. The big Democratic State Conven tion at St. Joseph this week was_a sad disappointment to republicans. Their papers, backed up by their allies, the mugwump and independ- ent sheets, lave been prophesying ull kinds of trouble and discord. In- stead it turned out not only one of the most harmonious democratic state conventions held in years past, but a democratic rally and love feast. A few sore-heads, headed by Frank Walsh, of Kansas City, tried to ferment trouble on Monday even- ing. They hired an opera house and a brass band, and Walsh threshed over a lot of old republican chaff to a good natured crowd, most of whom were there out of curiosity and not in sympathy with the purpose of the meeting, The next day when Walsh's name was brought before the fifth district caucus for re election as com- mitteeman, he received only five votes out of forty seven, a most dis- astrous and overwhelming defeat. This had such a salutary effect upon the obstreperous member that when the resolutions committee reported the platform Walsh seconded the motion made for its adoption, and. thus ended the hopes of republicans for democratic discord, Dr. D. H. Shields of Hannibal, was named by the state committee for temporary chairman. The 6th congressional district was represented in the organization as follows: On Credentials Committee:—R. L. Walker, of Cass county. r Resolutions and Platform:—J. D. Allen, of Bates county. Permanent Org. and Order of Busi- ness:—Payton Park, of Henry the increasing apprehension ofdisas- ter in the Congfessional elections which is now manifested by Republi- cans. This feeling of impending punishment is well founded. The Re- publican majority in the first session of the Fifty-seventh Congress was utterly faithless to the people. It dideverything which the trusts want- ed done. It left undone everything which the trusts wanted left undone. It was absolutely the servant of the trusts, betraying the people in order to serve the trusts. It must now answer to the people on itsestablish- ed record. Republican apprehension of approuching disaster to the party is well warranted by the party’s rec- » temper of the Ameri- ord and by wan people, rightly aroused to a de- tern for the removal of that party m control in the Govern- ment.—St. Lonis Republic. ——————_— Hastings.

The state completed its case before noon. The main point made by the state was that Barnes shot first. The defense is now trying to prove that Mr. Clay was drinking; that he was the aggressor, and that there was nothing for Mr. Barnes to do but to kill or be killed. The first witnesses for Mr. Barnes were J. W. Million, of Hardin college; J.C. Buck- ner, Prof. D. A. MeMillan, of the Mex- ico public schools, the Rey. A. A, Wallace and other citizens, who tes- tified as to the good reputation of the defendant. The state did not try to upset the testimony further than asking two witnesses if they knew that Barnes carried a pistol. They said no, The most startling evidence was- one reading of the testimony taken be- fore the police court at the trial of Clarence Barnes and Latney Barnes, who had a street fight with Mr. Clay testimony showed that in an angry passion, while givingin his testimony | street fight. date for the place made vacant by the killing of his son. i ‘ manifests itselfin the Fowler bill.

Bryan Outlines the Pians For the Vext Campaign. Chieago, E1. July 20.—The trusts, |John W. Gates, imperialism and the money question were given the spe- {cial respects of William J.

He lived only a few minutes after being laid Gn the ground. The verdict of | the coroner's jury was that he came to his death by a shot fired by some unknown person. He had for years ‘been ont of the parties to a bitter i neighborhood feud. | John White, who is said to have been drinking, claimed his brother {was fired upon from ambush and {that he made an effort to kil John Knight, a boy whom he accused of ithe crime. Knight established an alibi. The dead man’s coat was burned by powder, and the ball en- tered his left side, ranging upward through the heart. It is believed by some that Johu White accidentally killed his brother.

Don't Fail to Try This. Every real friend of bimetallism will oppose that bill, while those who advocate the gold standard will na- turally favor it. But if the bill were really a law it would not end the controversy, for there would besome- thing else the financiers would want that would be injurious to the peo- ple. The man who says the money question is dead has either been fool- ed himself or is trying to fool some- body else.” E. E. MeJimsey, editor of the Maryville, (Mo.,) Tribune, waschair- man of the recent republican state convention at Jefferson City. It is not often, says the Clinton Demo- erat, that McJimsey tells the truth, but he did on one occasion when in- vited to address the republicans at Topeka, Kansas, about a year ago. In that speech Mr. McJimsey said in substance: “Every year we make a good deal of noise over in Missouri, jand claim the republicans are going to carry the state. But you have noticed that when the votes are counted, we don't carry the state, but are everlastingly snowed under. We do all the talking necessary, but | you see blow and bluster don’t scare | theaverage Missouri Democrat worth jacent. I'm awfully disgusted when | hear our republican friends talk be- fore election about carrying Missouri, and the returns come in—as they al- ways do—showing republicans have |lost out in-every part—of the state, But still we have republicans who keep on talking about carrying Mis- souri, but it don’t fool anybody un- Jess it is some republicans living in Kansas.” ‘Over-Work Weakens _ Your .Kidneys, Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood, All the blood in your body passes through your ys once e three minutes, ie kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil- ter out the waste or impurities in the blood.

Atoka, I. T., July 10.—To-day Marshal John MeMuytry, assisted by J.T. Hosmer, city marshal of Atoka arrested James Reeveseast of String- town, I. T., and near the scene of the murder af three persons. Marshal Me Murtry and Hosmer have been in pursuit of the murderer since the night of the tragedy, but could find no definite trace of him through friends. The arrest was made with- out any resistance. The murderer was placed in chains and brought to Atoka this evening and placed in the United States jail at this place. Reeves admitted his guilt, and stated that his home had been ruined by Knockles, and that he had made up his mind that a man who had ruined a home had no business living. Reeves further stated that he had K nockles get out of the wagon to be killed, and that he then asked his w.fe for the child, and when she refus- ed he shot her. He says he shot Mrs. Grant by accident. Senator Vest Not Blind. The people of Missouri will be pleas- ed to learn that Senator Vest’s in- firmities are not so serious as was at first reported. The Washington Postsays: ‘“Thereport thatSenator Vest has lost his eyesight is absolute- ly untrue. The fact is, the Senator’s health is better than it has been for some time.
