FOR PRESIDENT | cali county ortates tor tour weeks succesives here has been much unjust and ly, published at least once a week, the last malevolent warfare made upon Bena- tor Stone, and if it is kept up, it will surely injure to his benefit rather than te his injury.—Columbia Herald. The Herald speaks truly and tothe point. The treatment of Senator Stone by the metropolitan press of this state has been outrageously un fair and has made him friende with just and fair-minded men. Senator Stone is one of the big men of the nation and the personal warfare waged by the prees of St. Louis will not detract from his greatness, but shows their own littleness.

It is 2 bardly possible that Mr. Musgrave made any such, statement to the Globe Democrat, as every Democrat who is familar with political affairs in this state knows the report is un- true. Itthere is any “sentiment” in the Democratic party in this state against Mr. Cook it must he contined 20 but few democrats and in buta few counties. Indeed there is no rea- son why Democratic “sentiment” should be against Mr. Cook.

St. Louis, Feb, 20.—Interest in the movement to nominate Senator F. M. Cockrell tor president of the United States received further impetus yes- terday when the executive commit- tee met at the Planters hotel and perfected arrangements for carrying on the campaign. At the mass meeting of promirent Democrats which was held in St Louis February 9, state chairman Will A. Rothwell of Moberly was au- thorized to name an executive com- mittee to consist of one Democrat from each congressional district. Mr. Rothwell informed the men by mail of their appointment and asked them to be present yesterday. The appointments were as follows: First district, Dr. D. H. Shields, Hannibal; second, W. M. Farrell, Paris; third, Judge J. W. Alexander, Gallatin; fourth, former state sena- tor F, M. Wilson, Platte City; sixth, Major Harvey W. Salmon, Clinton; seventh, John T. Heard, Sedalia; eighth, Thomas 0. Towles, Jefferson City; ninth, Secretary of State Sam CUTICURA SOAP The World's Greatest Skin Soap, Bates County Has One. The State Board of Agriculture has discovered that nearly every county in the state is blossed with mineral springs and health resorts During the past year Doctor Det- weiler, bacteriologist to the Btate Beard of Health, has been called up on to make chemical analysis of the water from several of these springs, and he has expressed great surprise at the number and value of the min eral springs in the State. Samples of the water from these springs ac- companied with chemical analysis willform part of the exhibit of the State Board of Health at the World’s Fair.
