Democratic delegate convention, Joplin, June 29, Democratic state convention, Jet- ferson City, July 19, ‘ Congress did considerable bustness " while in session, From all reports it was the most extravagant con- gress the country has ever known, as the appropriations and expendi- tures exceeds a billion dollars, The session of congress which has ist closed made appropriations amounting to$781,574,629. Lt was | the most reckless in spending the people's money of any congress which has ever been held in the United States.—Ex, Governor A, M, Dockery hasissued a proclamation designating June Srd as dedication day for the Mis- souri State building at the World's Fair, and urging ail Missourians who can possibly do so to be pres ent on that day, Senator Hale, of Maine, exhibits much frankness and someenthusiasm in saying that he wishes there was some way in which we could get rid of the Philippine Islands—that they are a profitless burden to earry. See- retary Root and Secretary Tait have said the same thing. oy ‘The papers have begun to mention Judge Graves for supreme judge. The Democrat mentioned him at the proper tine, but the judge refused to consider the matter then, It islikely too late now as most counties that have held primaries are pledged to Judge Woodson —Osceola Democrat. Bucket shop men seem to be in much trouble at Montgomery City, Mo. Charles Ruenzi and P. B. Burch were ronvicted of running a bucket shop, in Judge Johnson’s court, and he fined them $5,400. They were unable to pay the finesand the court ordered them to jail_—Clinton Demo- erat. The St. Louis Star, a staunch Re- publican paper, reads the Globe- Democrat the following lecture: “Does not the Globe-Democrat know that Folk stands 99 chances out of 100 of being elected, and that, ' too, by the votes of Republicans as wellas Demoerats? Does it not fur- ther know that the most available H Republican candidate for the govern orship cannot be used, because he he won't ran against Folk? Advice ; about a candidate by those who are planning to beat him has a place ina daily paper, perha;s, but it is in the comic column and not in the edito- rials.” The facts thus stated by the Star that “Mr. Folk stands 99 chances out of 100 being elected, and that, too, by votes of Republicans as well as Democrats,” must be worm-wood and gaul to such tight-laced Repub- licans as our friend Mr. Funk of the Republican Press. It is refreshing to perceive the Globe’s easy transitions from boom- ing Folk back to fighting Folk again. The Globe is now howling about Folk reform which it conceives to be one twentieth Folk and nineteen- twentieths “machine.” Here is what it said less than a yearago: “Folk occupies an individualized place in the Democratic party of Missouri. He cannot be lumped with the ma- chine and an average struck of intel- ligent availability. Missouri Repub- licans would rejoice over Folk’s nomination by the Demecrats, be- ‘cause, however the election might go, the boodling machine would be ”’ Since the only machine which {s doing business in Missouri Hs that of the peopler as a whole, PUT FOLK MEN ON GUARD. Of the four candidates running for Governor, we have always been for Mr. Folk. His position uponall pub lic questions is one in favor of clean government. He has themoralcour- age todo what is right and always says what ought to be done. The positive action of the man has en- deared him to the people. Whenour convention is held a straight Folk delegation should be named. Mr. Folk wants and should have his friends from this county. By friends we mean those who are for him from principle and not those who are for him now for position, Those should not be considered. Let the Folk men select Folk delegates who are strong enough in hisinterest to comply with his wishes as to the remainder of the ticket, As the head of the ticket, Mr. Folk will be held responsible for the success or failure of the administra tion. Name as delegation that is for Folk dnd let them work wholly to his interestsand desires. We are for Mr. Folk over and above all other candi- dates acd are willing to be guided by his judgment as to the personnel of the ticket, irrespective of our person- al friendships. Mr. Folk has made a successful fight and ought not to be hampered. _—_—_—_——- ATTEND YOUR PRIMARIES. One element of weakness in a cam- paign is overconfidence of success, A political fight is never won until the ballots are deposited. We believe that on a fair test, with all Demo- erate voting, Mr. Folk would carry Bates county by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Reed but recently, in an interview, named Bates as one of the counties he expects to carry, So itis evident that the opposition have not entirely abandoned hopes of thie county, The Folk men must not be lalled to sleep by faticied security They should be on the alert, and at- Tarles On Jube Th, three weeks from Saturday, and see that uncompromising Folk men are sent us delegates to the county conven- tion on June 6th. Gives Fortune to Build Cathedral St. Paul, May 7.—President James J. Hill of the great Northern railroad will supplement his many gifts to the Roman Catholic church by a dona- tion of $1,500,000, given jointly by himselfand Mrs Hill, toward the erection of a new $3,000,000 cathe- dral in which two of the wealthiest of St. Paul parishes will join. This announcement was made today by members of the clergy. The remain. ing $1,500,000 will be subscribed by wealthy citizens. The cathedral will be the most costly edifice in the west and will crown @ height on St. Anthony Hill in the center of the aristocratic resi- dence district. It will be only afew hundred yards from President Hill’s immense palace. Its construction will begin this summer. Mr. Hill’s gift a few. years ago en- abled the Catholic church to build the $750,000 seminary for students for the priesthood at Groveland Park CAPTAIN ENDS HIS LIFE. Walter Allen, a World’s Fair Of- ficial, Became Despondent. St. Louis, May 10.—(World’s Fair Grounds).—Captain Walter Allen, of St. Louls, connected with the World’s Fair Jefferson guards and a brother of “Private” John H. Allen, national World’s Fair commissioner from Mississippi, committed suicide late to-day by shooting himeelf through the heart in a room in the dormitory of the Washington university, now utilized by the exposition. He left a note saying that ill health had driv- en him to commit the act. His wile and two children survive him. Captain Allen was closely associat- ed with the official of the Jefferson guard, but officially he was custodian been appointed to the position in 1902. Japs Buried 1,363 Russians Tien Tsin.

London, May 10.—The Daily Tele-| * graph’s Seoul correspondent saye: It is believed here thata portion of the Russian Vladivostok fleet has been successfully shut out and now in the Sea of Japan trying to evade the Japanese. St. Petersburg, May 9.—That the Russians are preparing for a desper- ate fight at Liao-Yang or Haicheng seems certain from the meager dis- patches received here since the an- nouncement that the Japanese have ocenpied Fung- Wang-Cheng. The abandonment of Nichwang is practically complete, though it is stated that a sutlicient Russian force will be lett there to prevent any raid- ing by bandits, as feared by the inhabitants, The mines in the har- bor there are still connected with the dynamo by which they can be exploded and no effort has been made to remove them. General Kuropatkin is busy with the concentration of his troops, still making headquarters at Liav-Yang while Viceroy Alexieff has transferred his headquarters to Harbin. Mili- tary experts here believe that unless the Japanese deliver their attack with unexpected strength and quick- ness Kuropatkin may svon be able to take the offensive, In apite of official assurances that Port Arthur is well provisioned, fears are felt that this may not be correct, fect that there are provisions there tor 8,000 men for three months only, The reserve in Moscow and Khar- koff Provinces, comprising 100,- 000 men, have been called out and will be hurried to the far east as fast as possible to re-enforce Kuropat- kin’s army. The mobilization of four more army corps along the Volga will take place in July or August, if not earlier. Among the numerous rumors in circulation here is one that the erviser Burik has been destroyed. The story is discredited by officials, The Cossacks seen in Korea and Eastern Manchuria, it is stated, are simply scouts trying to keep General Kuropatkin informed of the enemy's movements. Round Trip Passes For- Stock Shippers, The announcement of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pau! Railroad that it will issue return transportation to live stock shippers to all points on its syetem from which shipments originate, is due to legislation on the subject by the State of Iowa. Western railroads last year adopted an order, which went into effect Jan- uary 1, abolishing the system of giv- ing return transportation to stock shippers. This action was denounc- ed by live stock organizations throughout the country. The Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul was the first to comply with the law, and doing 80, it cut loose from the agree- ment entered into January 1. All the other Western roads have agreed to return to the old system of giving return transportation to all live stock shippers.” A Serious Charge Against a Woman. St. Louis, May 10.—The grand jury returned eight indictments to- day against Sophia Weinzeirl, charg- ing her with enticing. young women from Germany to this country for improper purposes. The woman, who has been twice arrested on the same charge, said when first taken into custody Saturday that the girls were brought to this country by her to serve'as waitresses in a garden for 6 World’s Fair concessionaire, She now asserts that she had nothing to ‘FOLK WINS TEN; REED GETS ONE. Attorney Fails of Clean Sweep of Missouri Primaries. *St. Louis City. Contested, 41 delegates; uninstract- ed, 6; number of counties that have held primaries, 73; number still to express a choice, 41; number of dele gates composing state convention, 711; necessary to nominate, 356. For the first time in several weeks Joseph W. Folk failed to make a clean sweep of the counties holding primaries and mass conventions to express their choiee for the Demo- cratic nomination for governor. He lost one of 11 counties. Mayor Reed carried Lafayette county, 54 of the delegates selected to the county convention held Mon- day being for him, against 29 for Mr. Folk, ; Mr. Folk won in the othercounties, adding 55 delegates to his list, mak- ing his total 285. He now has 61 counties pledged to his support. By winning Lafayette county Mr. Reed has seven counties pledged to him, giving him a total of 42 dele- gates. Neither Mr. Hawes norJudge Gantt figured in Saturday's results. The counties holding primaries Sat- urday and the number of delegates selected were: Audrian 7, Mont gomery 4, Morgan 3, Lincoln 6, Pike 8, Texas 4, Those holding county conventions were: Franklin, 5; Gasconade, 1; The marked Folk victory of the day was in Greene county, whoee 11 delegates had been counted upon by the opposition to Mr. Folk. In Pike county, where there wagno other name on the ticket, Mr. Folk received a splendid vote. Col. Ed. A. Glenn, who managed the Folk cam- paign, was elected township commit teeman and will be a candidate for chairman of the state committee. In Audrain county Mr. Folk de feated Reed by 2 to 1 and Cook de- feated Musgrave 8 to 1 for secretary of state, Morgan county gave Folk more than 8 to 1. Jackson M. Smith car- ried the couiity fof the Kansas City Court of Appeals. Fight for Pig Pen Results Fatally Sedalia, Mo., May 10.—Sam Har. vey, 32 years old, a carriage driver, was killed here last night by Henry Garrett, a telephone lineman, in a quarrel over the ownership of a pig pen which both men claimed. Harvey and Garrett are neighbors. Garrett attempted to tear down the pen when Harvey interterred. Hot words followed and Garrett threw a pair of pliers, striking Har- vey in the left temple, producing in- jury which caused his death at 3 o’clock this morning. Garrett was arrested at his home this morning. He was found witha shotgun in‘his bed. He has a wife, Harvey is not married. Mo. Pacific R. R. Special Rates Atlantic City, N.

Elston, appraiser for the Stratton estate, filed his report to- day on the appraisement of the prop- erty of the dead multimillionaire mining man.

A Check For 40 Millions, Washington, May 8.—The Treas- ury warrant for 40 million dollars to be delivered to J. P. Morgan & Co., ot New York, on account of ‘the Panama canal purchase was taken to that city to-night by the Secre- tary of the Treasury, Mr. Shaw. It will be delivered by the secretary to- morrow to Morgan & Co.

Owingsville, Ky., May 7.—John Scott, a wealthy citizen of Burns, Pike county, has recovered the sense of sight after a total blindness of 20 years. After Scott retired last night he was awakened by the cry of fire. Violently excited, he sprang from his bed, ran toward where he thought the door was and accidentally struck his head against something. Instant- ly he found he could see, and fell on his knees and thanked God for bis sight. Scott then assisted in fighting the fire. He is 40 years old. Washington, May 8.—The balance sheet of the treasury department now shows an actual deficit. The tide which so long had been favorable to the administration turned Friday and tue ledger indicated an excess of $132,258 in expenditures in receipts. It is regarded as certain that this deficit will continue to grow during the remainder of the fiscal year, and by the last day of June will aggre. gate millions of dollars. The fact that the year ending prior to the national campaign closes with @ considerable deficit will be of great advantage to the Democrats and will ba utilized onthe stump. Says His Brother Did It. Joplin, Mo., May 9.—James Hor- ton, 17 years old, confessed yester day that bis brother Ollie Horton, was the murderer of J. H. Kennel, whose body was found in the woods near this city March 9. According to the lad’s statement his brother killed Kennel with a coupling pin and robbed him of $300. The lad was present when the killing occurred and k-pt the matter a secret until put through a “sweating” when he told of the crime. The boy directed the officers ‘yes- terday tothe scene of the murder where a coupling pin was found. Ollie Horton, the alleged murderer, is under arrest. Kennel, the mur- dered man was the stepfather of the Horton boys. Trustee’s Sale. carte, hie Cite.” y thei led of tran nd Shrine July 9th and 10th.
