This season’s fruit in Oklahoma will be the biggest ever raised, so is eald Allen McDowell, for 86 years grand lecturer for the Masone of Missouri, died Saturday evening in Kansas City of paralysis. President Palma was !naugurated the second time at noon Suuday, the fourth anniversary af Cuban inde pendence, president of Cuba. * —_— Judge W. W. Graves in nomination, clared Graves the peer of any judge or lawyer in the state. Alexander Graves, of Lexington, nominated Judge Samuel Davis, of Saline. 0. H. Avery nominated George Robert- son, Audrain, and A. D. Bennett nominated George Hubbard, of New- ton. .as. A. Reed, of Kansas City, made a bitter attack upon Judge Graves, in @ epeech seconding the nomination of Davis, Frank Walsh euccesstully anawered him in second- ing Graves’ nomination. On rollcall Graves received nearly 500 votes be- fore St. Louis was reached. The full St. Louls vote was thrown to him giving him more that 100 votes to spare. Before the vote was announc- ed a motion was made by a Davis delegate to suspend the rules and make the nomination of Judge Graves unanimous, which was carried amidst great enthusiasm. Bates county’s full delegation was present and worked hard for Graves’ nomination. Mrs. Graves was present and kept open house at Judge Graves’ head- quarters at the Maples, and by her gracious manner made many friends . for the Judge. She received asmany i ig —— T Seem congratulations as the Judge on his Mall. success. Never dida candidate beforea state convention have more loyal and en- thusfastic supporters than Judge Graves. Johnson county divided her dele- gation, much to the surprise of Judge Graves and his friends. 1¢ will be re- membered that to Judge Graves’ ef- forts Rube Oglesby owed his nomina- tion before, and it has been thought that the delegation to the state con- vention were friendly to him this time, W. H, Stuart, the American vice- coneul, was shot and killed at his country place Batoum, Russla, Sun- day evening. The avsassin made his “escape. The Democratic congressional committee met at C'inton Saturday and called convention to meet in Harrisonville, July 28th to nomi- nate a congressman for the 6th Dis- trict. —————————— The Lindsborg, Kas., News is Re- publican and published in a Republi- can stronghold. Therefore, harken to the “heresy” of the Lindsborg News: “The proper thing for a good Roosevelt ‘Square Deal’ Republican to do in Kansas this fallis to vote the Democratic state ticket.” * [SEE General H. C. Clark, of Butler, was here Sunday visiting Col. Mitchell. There have been several resignations filed with Adjutant General DeAr- mond, among them being Col. Mc- Kenna of the first ment, Capt. sakes Governor Folk iasued a proclama- tion offering a reward of $300 for the apprehension of Willlam Francia, @ negro wanted in Johnson county for the outrage and murder of Mary Henderson. The crime was commit- ted in 1901. The fact that the re- , ward has been offered by the gover- i nor leads to the supposition that | the whereabouts of Francis have | been learned by the Johnson county officers. The salaries of State officers are “not so many.” The Governor re- celves $5,000 @ year; Lieutenant Governor $1,000 a year and $7 a day during sessions of the legisla- ture; Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Attorney General, Super- Antendent of PublicSchools and Rail- oad and Warehouse Commisstoner, each receive $3,C00a@ year; Judges ‘ of the Supreme Court receive $4,500 a a year, $1,000 less than is paid the udges of the St. Louis Court of Appeals. Tt.may be a mark of bravery for the President of the United States to callan old man 70 yearr of agea Mar, but all people do not look atthe matter in.the same light. It will be remembered that Roosevelt called -Parker a liar when the latter etated that the trusts, the combinations end monopolies were putting up -money for the Republican campaign fund. Later developments vindicat- ed Mr. Parker.—Osceola Democrat. —_——a Ss é A CLEAN AND MANLY CLOSE.

All of the points made in Bur- ton’s interest were overruled. Justice Brewer, Justice White and Justice Peckham united in a dissent- ing opinion delivered by Justice Brewer. Their opinton was baeed on the theory that the United States was not legally interested in thecase against the Rialto company in which Burton was employed as counsel. Senator Burton is in Washington, but did not appear fo court, He was represented by his attorney. Immediately after promulgating its decision the cuurt granted a mo- tion to give sixty days to Senator Burton in which to prepare a pett- tion for a rehearing.
