The Democrat allows its prejudice to override its better judgment in this case. Judge Gantt has many warm and loyal supporters among the best men of the state. He has| friends in this} county, who would be glad to see his! many influential ambition rewarded, but most of them think he should resign his long term on the bench before going into 4 political ecramble. Politics must be getting tropical over in Henry county when gentle- men rush into print to set themselves right on their. choice for governor. The Clinton Tribune, Judge Gantt’s offictal organ, copied an article from the Clinton Republican in which Mr. Calvird, former mayor of Clinton and @ prominent lawyer, said “my choice for governor before Judge Gantt’s announcement was for Folk.” The Tribune, supposing that Mr. Cal- vird’s declaration in the past tense meant that he is now for Gantt, put a head on the interview reading: “Hon. C. A. Calvird for Judge Gantt.” To this Mr, Calvird took exception and published a card in the Demo- crat, in which he says that the Trib- une misrepresented him; that he is not for Gantt, but for Folk for gov- ernor. This is signiticant coming from Judge Gantt’s home town Democrats are getting entirely too strenuous in advocating their choice for governor more than a year be- fore the nominating convention. The Cole county grand jury to in- vestigate alleged boodling in the legislature, was convened at Jeffer- son City on Monday. Judge Hazell’s charge was & severe arraignment of the boodlers and he instructed the jury to goto the very bottom and let no guilty man escape, Judge Hazell’s zeal in the matter is to be commended, He said that boodlers are worse than horse thieves. He said: “The most dangerous assassin of history is not the man who does the coarse work of stealing @ horse, but the kid-gloved servant of the people, who sells his vote and influ: ence, and thereby robs his state.” Col. Fred Flemming of Kansas City, was the first witness before the grand jury and was interrogated for nearly an hour. It is believed that he was a va'uable witness, but his testimony {s carefully guarded. Col. W. H Phelps has been sutpoenaed and will appear before the jury on Thursday It is said Col. Phelps will thea go to St Louis to appear before that jury The report comes from Washing- ton that the pay of Minnie V. Cox, as postmistress at Indianola, Miss., is to be discontinued—after next April. Minnie Cox, who is a negress, became alarmed over a petition from the patrons of the Indianola postoffice asking for her resignation. She closed the office snd sent her resignation to Wahington. President Roosevelt and Postmaster-General Payne refused to receive the resignation, believing from the reports that were printed in newspapers of the country and in- formation received from other sources, that it had been written un. der stress of threats of violence. The woman left Indianola and refused to return to the town and open the of- five. The President, however, order- ed that her salary be continued, the result being that for many months she has drawn pay from the govern- ment—a part of the time at the rate of $1,200 and later at the rate of $1,100 a year for renderiug no ser- vice whatever. The case has been considered by the department of jus- tice, and the President himself is un- derstood to have given it more than ordinary attention. The “whiskey ring,” the “star route” scandles and the postoffice rascality uncovered all occurred un- der republican administrations. The first two were not exposed and the perpetrators punished until a demo- cratic congress took hold. There is @ lesson in this for those who would have the present postofiice scandal probed to the bottom and all the guilty participants punished.—Com- moner. Chicago, Aug. 4—Trainmen and conductors on the Chicago,Rock Is- land & Pacific raiiroad have voted to strike unless the road pays the in- creases in wages they have demand- ed.

The scene of the shooting was near the residence of John Karns, who re- sides four miles northwest of Jasper. The men were riding in a wagon and singing when the shots were fired. An investigation made by Prosecuting Attorney F. W. Mar- | tin, of Lamar, resulted in the arrest jof John Karns and his two sons, Frank Karns and Geo. Karna, upon }acharge of felonious assault. George Karns was:held for the shooting and the father and brother were held as accessaries. Each hasgiven bond for appearance in the Cireuit Court. Hall May Come Out For Lieutenant- Governor. Jefferson City, Mo., August 3.—It istold here on what seems to be relia- ble authority that Matt W.

Lewisburg, Tenn., Aug. 4 —A negro preacher named John Milliken was killed and another negro fatally wounded by a band of whitecappers last night. When the mob made its appearance at Milliken’s home the preacher made his exit through a back door, He was brought down by a volley, dying almost instantly. John Hunter, a son in-law of Millik- en, was made to accompany the mob on a fruitless search for another negro and in attempting to escape was shot in the back. No cause is assigned for the killing. To Raise the Express Rates. Jefferson City, Aug. 4—The Mis- souri board of railroad commission ers to-day received the schedule of the express companies doing business in this state for the remainder of the present year. This schedule is an in crease of 65 per cent over the pres- ent rates. The railroad commission- ers disapproved of the schedule and are preparing one which will be adopted ina short time. Until the board adopts its rate the present rates will apply. The companies give no reason for the proposed in- crease, The “Youngest” Volunteer. Guthrie, Ok , July 31.—MajorN.D.

Farm Implements, Farm Wagons, Buggies and of One Thousand Miles Under Strict Rales. The Automobile club of Great Bri- tain has planned an endurance run , for 1903 that willDe more severe than lanything ever before attempted. It ‘will literally test the limit of relia- bility, for no stops whatever are to be allowed for, and an operator may ;mot even clean his vehicle. Every j minute spent in examining, oiling, or in any way touching the machine, except to regulate its speed and guide it, will be penalized. The run will be one of 1,000 miles, and will be run on successive days, starting and finishing at Crystal pal- Jace. When an operator starts out he will take an observer with him who will make the notes that will cost him marks. Not even punctures or blocked roads or railroad gates will be accepted as non-penalizable causes, Every one must take his chances, When the mechines come in at night the operator must jump out and leave them without doing & thing. The club’s stewards will take charge of the competing vehicles at the gate of the garage. If the ma- chine must necessarily be oiled or tinkered, the operator must do it in the morning, and be penalized one mark for every minute he spends at it. He positively must not wash off the mud, BABY ELEPHANT STOPS TRAIN. Geta Frisky While Traveling, Breaks Out of the Crate and Palla the Bell Cord, A half-grown elephant stopped an express train moving at the rate of a mile a minute when an express coms pany undertook to ship one to Atlan- ta, Ga. He was a small fellow and seemed as quietus a lamb, They built a crate of heavy timber around him ae a mutter of precaution, and hoisted the crate and the elephant into a bag- g iron a fast express which leaves Jersey City every night at ten o'clock, Messenger Stover was in charge. When the messenger came too close the elephant got hold of his coat col- lar and tried to drag him into the crate, Then the elephant began to break the crate to pieces, throwing the wood at Stover, Stover fled to the next car and sent for Conductor Stults. When they came into the car they found the crate all broken and the elephant free, He was dancing a two-step, hen the elephant suddenly stopped. He reached up his trunk to the bell cord running along the ceiling of the car and gave one big pull, That was enough, The train came to a stop as quickly as a train can when it is mak- ing 60 miles an hour. Then the ene gineer began to say things. An animal trainer was found and he had the ele- phant under control ina few minutes. HISTORIC HOUSE “TO LET.” The Mansion James I.
