VOL, XXVI. -GOGKRELL PREDICTS — ~——GERTAIN. VICTORY Says It’s Folly to Talk About Any Nominee not Support- ing the Ticket--National Prospects Good.. St, Louie Republic. United States Senator Francis M. — Cockrell was one of the most interest ed attendants upon the meeting of the Democratic State committee. He is vitally interested in the election of legislators, who will elect his succes- sor, and conferred with the Domo- crate from every part of the state, _ He talked with all the nominees, and was with Circuit Attorney Folk for two hours at the Southern last night, discussing the campaign. He will depart this morning for War- rensburg, where he expects to remain HE REFUTES reduction instead of an increase in wages. Then, too, by taking hofrly WRIGHT'S STATEMENT) wayes, Mr. Wright would not have Representative Cowherd As- serts the Bureau of Labor Statistics - Were Juggled. Washington, Aug 7—Chairman Covb-rds f the Democratic congres- ‘afonal campaign committee issued a ‘statement today. in refutation of ‘recently published tables from the bureau of lubor, relative to the in- ‘crease in wages and the cost of living. Mr Cowherd’s conclusions are as followe: In the bulletin on cost of living and wages, recently issued by the bureau of statistics, the methods adopted are as remarkable as the conclusion reached. Wholesale prices have always been the standard by which to consider the 600,000 men now out of employment. By carefully selecting his establishments, he did not have to consider the one million men whose wages, the trade journals tell us, were reduced in 1903 and 1904 from 10 to 30 per cent. We shall appeal from Colonel Wright and bis expert statisticians to one who fiures more skillfully and care- fully than he—the housewife with the market basket, who must make her husband’s scanty wages cover the constantly increasing cost of the family’s daily needs TRAIN GOES THROUGH BRIDGE Train on the Denver & Rio Grande in Colorado.

Each railroad reports to the inter- state commerce commission the total wages during each year and the total number of workmen June 30 of that year. The average wage, -therefore, {seaslly obtainable. Why were no railroad. wages included in Mr. Wright's report? The answer is ap- parent. The last report of theinter state commerce commission shows an increase of railroad wages of only 3 percent. The railroads employ more than 1,300,000 men. Mr, Wright’s figures cover 176,827. able that a complete list of the dead will never be made known. He Shot His Uncle. Warsaw, Mo., Aug. 5.—James Bor- ing and his brother Jesse of Benton- ville disagreed and quarreled over & land trade yesterday. They met at the celebration of the birthday of their father-in-law, Jacob Feaster, and renewed the quarrel. James was throwing stones at his brother and his nephew, William Boring, when the latter clinched. William Boring drew a pistol and shot his antagonist inflicting four wounds. The wound- sarcasm, unexcelled at rapartee, elo- quent ir! rmal oratory. He was the last surviving member of the confederate cabinet to serve in the senate. * Negre.g Trials Prove Costly. + St. Joséph, Mo., July 30,.—William Coats, a negro, was convicted in the Criminal Court to-day of the murder of his mother: three years ago, and sentenced to hang. This was the filth time Coats had been tried, and his prosecution has cost the county many thousands of dollars. Soon after the murder he made a confes- sion to Chief of Police Frans, but bis rewarded and the Democratic party of Missouri, in bestowing the honor has defied corruption and saved itself from shame. Those who love decency will rejoice in Folk’s selection as governor of Missouri, an honor which is but a forerunner of greater to come if he but keeps the faith. Of his fidelity those who know him best have least doubt. Over at Chanute, Kan., a woman at a recent meeting of the city coun- cil presented a bill for damages done her by the recent high water. The bill itemized and included $300 for depreciation in the value of her Washington, July 29 —To-day marke the termination of the agree- ment entered into by the Powers at The Hague Peace Uonference, to which Russia and Japan were signa- tory, whereby the use of war balloons for throwing destructive explosives was prohibited for five years.
