HYDE, Call For Senatorial Convention. In pursuance ofan action of the Senatorial Committee of the 16th Senatorfal District of the State of Missouri; a Democratic delegated convention is hereby called to meet 1 in E\Dorado Springs, Cedar county, Missouri, on Saturday, June 16th, to nominate a Democratic Candidate for State Senator in the 16th Sena- torial District of this State. The basis adopted 1s one delegate foreach 300 votes cast for Jos. W. Folk, for Governor, and one delegate for each one of the fractions 150 or over. In this call each county will be entitled to delegates, as follows: Bates County wll “Cedar County.. Henry County. St. Clair County... na W. H. AntHony, . Chairman of the Democratic Sena- torial Committee of the 16th Sena- torial District of Missourt. “Although Colonel Bryan {s etand- ing pat,” says the Atlanta Consti- tution, “on his 1896 principles, the safe and sane Democrats up in New York, deep down in their hearts, pro- fess to havea feeling for him. Col. Bryan may yet experience the anom- aly of being right and being Presi- dent, too.” Notwithstanding the assurances that Senator Dickinson had that he would receive the nomination to suc- coed himeelf without opposition, he declined to again become a candi- date. The commendation of hiscon- atituency for his honest and able ef- forts in behalf of fair and healthy legislation, is a source of much com- fors to him, yet he feels that he can- not now make the business sacrifice to return to the Senate. Senator Dickinson was # etrong character in the Senate and weilded s strong in- fluence and always for the right. It is a compliment not only to him but to his district and his county that furnished a member of such high ~ TIMES! THEIR ONLY BOPE. The Republican-Press overshoote {te mark and tage its efforts tomake defeated candidates sore, by devot- ing column after column of slush about unfair and dishourst methods used in the primary. If a defeated candidate was inclined to be “sore” he could but resent the thinly veneer- ed efforts of this redica!l republican sheet to make a cat’s paw out of him, to dishonor him in the eyes of his party associates, and make of him a laughing stock for Republican beneficiaries No one, at all conversant with the methods of these Rapublican sheets, expected them to givea fatr, un- biased report of Democratic pri- maries, The only hope they have of Republican success this fall lies in D mocratic discontent. They know that witha united party and an aggressive campaign, they can not hope to overcome the splendid Dem- ocratic majorities which will be roll- ed up. Conacquently they endeavor to sow the seed of discord in Deme~- cratic ranks, _| But we warn them that they have reckoned without their hosts, and vastly underrated the splendid metal of which these candidates are com- posed. We took occasion repeated- ly during the campaign to assert, and to quote other gentlemen, that a ticket selected from the material of- fering could but be good. Our judg- ment is vindicated by the manly and honorable way they are accept- ing defeat. True greatness and manliness are demonstrated better in defeat than in victory. Out of the thirty candidates, only twohave uttered a mutinous sentiment, and only one has questioned the fairness of the election and accuracy of tbe count by a contest, and he hasgiven no specific cause for such action, but is trying to get possession of the ballots in the forelorn hope that something might be discovered on which to base his contest. This {s not right, itis manifestly unfair to the party and unjust to those splendid Democrats all over the county who gave him loyal sup- port, not only this time, but repeat- edly before, and they should not now be placed in the attitude of having attempted to foster a bolter anda kicker upon the party. These are harsh terme, but are absolutely true and the only ones that can be fittingly applied to those who refuse to abide by the decision of the primaries af- ter seeking preferment thereby. ee NOT APPRECIATED. “Time was when any old codger could run a Democratic paper in in line,” etc. who held forth at the county seat. walked the streets of Butler. Bates county, if he only imagined he wasa “dimecrat.” Those days are gone forever and to-day {t requires brainy men like Sam Davis, of the Democrat, and Capt. Allen, of Tax TIMES, to ‘keop the Democratic hosts The above from the Bates County Record {s so foreign to the truth, so unfair and ungenerous to an old competitor, whom the heavy hand of time and disease laid low, that we can not belleve that Col. 0. D. Aus- tin’s hand penned the lines. For the past thirty years Colonel N. A. Wade was the only other Democratic edi- tor, aside from the twonamed above, He was not an old “codger” and he didn’t imagine he was a “‘dimecrat,” but he was an educated and able edi- tor and as loyal a Democrat as ever The editor of Tae Trves and Col. Wade crossed swords, within party lines, for @ quarter of @ century, and we can teatify that he was @ courageous|ber of an old and prominent family A CAMPAIGN LIE. “Harve Johnson, according to the returns, did not get a slugie vote in Lone Oak township: Yet there are sixteen good and true Democrats in that township who are anxious to go before Judge Denton,jrisher in | opencotrtor in chambers, “and ae | they cast their vote for Harve John- son for Sheriff ""—Record We challenge the truthfulness ot| the above and declare our belief that | j it is a lie out of whole cloth, and that Mr. Austin knew it was untrue when | he publiehed it; and shows to what | desperate methods they are resort- | ing in order to create Democratic | discord. “Sixteen good and true Democrats” cannot be found in Lone Oak township who will make suchan affidavit, or any fractional number of sixteen; no, not even one man in Lone Oak township will take such a chance, for there is a law agalust perjury in this state, with anextreme penalty clause. We dare and defy the Record to produce sixteen affi- davits of “good and loyal Demo- crate” in Lone Oak township that they voted for Harve Johnson atthe late primary, and if he fails or re- fuses to produce them, he stands be- fore the world as guilty of publish- inga falsehood for political effect The circuit court always inetructs the jury tht witness testifying falsely in one particular, the whole of his testimony may be disregarded, and the Record must stand before the people of Bates county in that atti- tude, or prove its charges. —_— May Stop Oil Pumping Neodesha, Kas., June 10.—A 35,- 000 barrel of] tank, half filled with oll, on the Prairie Oil and Gas com- pany’s tank farm here, was set afire by lightning at 9 o'clock last night. Is burned all nightand all day to-day. fiundreds of men worked all night and all day to-day to save therest of the property. The entire force of the Standard and Prairie from the superintendent down were here at work. At 3 o’clock this morning the tank collapsed and burning oil flow- ed out into the water about the tank and caused an explosion. The hot oll flow in every direction, burning many men and completely destroying une team and buggy. The burning oll set fire to the pump station and destroyed all the buildings except the boiler house. Some of the largest ofl pumps in the world had just been established here and the ones they were to replace were still at the plant. All were ruined. The pumps were worth $30,000. The destruction of these pumps will stop the pumping of oil to the Kansas City and Whit- ing refineries and probably will cause the Prairie Oil and Gas company temporarially to cease buying oll as the storage capacity is almostexaus- ted. The total loss to the Prairie Oll and Gascompany, a branch of the Standard will exceed $100,000. The fire now is confined to the oil in the tank and inside the dike around it and will do no further damage. Steele-Staodtman Announcement. The following {tem appeared in th society notes of the Kansas City Star, of Sunday, June 10th: “Mr. and Mrs, James Strodéman, northeast of Independence, announce the engagement of their daughter, Besse Alice, to Walton W. Steele, of 8+. Louis. The wed will take place Monday, June 25.’ The wedding will take place at the Strodtman home, five miles north- east of Independence, on the Lexing- ton pike.

There were thirty-three hounds, owned as fol- lows: Jason Woodfin 7, George Spince 4, Brisco brothers 10, Verney Bodkin 5, Jobn Miller 7. A heavy rain had fallen and the dogs struck the ascent on the old Major Allen farm. It was a hot chase from start to finish and the music furnished by the big pack of hounds was sweet to the hunters’ ears. It was probably as fine & race as was ever had in this section. This is from a farmer, who sat on his corn crib and heard the muetc from staré to finish. F. —— wd The End of Politics. There ia a splendid illustration of the war that politics make a man rich. Twelve years ago, this fall, a prosperous passenger conductor who ran out of Moberly on the Wa- bash, was nominated by the republi- can state convention for railroad commissioner. By his snug position upon the road, he had property worth seven or elght thousand dol. lars. By an accident he was elected. He moved to Jefferson City took his office and held it during the eix year term. He was then nominated for governor against Dockery and of course defeated. He then secured throngh his pull among prominent Missouri republicans, a position with the world’s fair commission. The fair closed; there was no more political ple to be had. He spent every dollar he had possessed, and as his position was abolished he was forced to throw dignity to the winds and seek some position that would bring bread and meat to his family. He got a job at about $75 a month as conductor on a tle train that ran out of one of the Arkansas lodging camps. Recently he has been pro- moted and given a position of master at one of the Iron Moun! division points, down in Arkansas. This job hardly reaches $100 a month. Who is this man? None other than Joe Flory, whom thous- Hundreds of Kentucky Fish Go on Big Drunk. Frankfort, Ky., June 12.—The Flake stand at 4 distillery broke down and more than 13,000 gallons of whisky, worth $25,000 was lost. It made its way to Benson Creek, only a few feet away. Farmers living along the banke of the stream later noticed hundreds of fish floating lazily on the surface, or leaping playfully out of the stream, altogether unafraid of the presence of man, The farmers caught them by the bushel. It was not until the news, of the break at the distillery became known that the mystery was solved. The fish had become intoxicated. Bryan Will Sail Late in September. Republic, William J.
