Senator Ruby has been elected to head the Democratic campaign com- mittee. “What is behind the Bryan move- ment?” asks the Philadelphia Ledg- er. About 10,000,000 voters, and more additions daily. —<—$—____. Pension office officials say that civil war veterans are dying at the rate of 100 per day. Statistics from the pension office also show that the list of pensioners 1s increasing more rapidly that the veteraus are dying. ee Mr. Bryan will be thenext nominee on the Democratie ticket and will be elected president by the largest pop- ular vote that any president ever re- celved. Thisis ss sure ashe lives and the governiment stands. Hon. James M. Seibers, ex-state auditor and one of the best known men and politicians in the state, has accepted a position with the Mo, Pac. Ry. Co. His work, it fs said, will be largely with the Iron Moun- tain branch. Atkeson for congress kas caused the Republicans of St. Clair county to take to the woods. ‘I have been loyal and true heretofore,” sald one last Saturday, “but I’m hanged if I can swallow that fellow, and_you may make a note of it.”’—Osceola Democrat. The Socialist party of Colorado held a convention in Denver the Fourth and nominated Wm. D. Hay- ward, secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners for Governor. Hayward {s now in prie- on, charged with complicity in the murder of Governor Steunenberg. Rs ce ee] This country {s either great or ex- travagant. The session of Congress that adjourned last Saturday cost the people $900,000,000 or at the rate of two billions for the term. It cost more than the one during the Spanish war, if we except the pen- #ions that have and will follow that deplorable event.—Osceola Demo- erat. ss Tammany Hall (New York) braves celebrated the 180th anniversary of American Independence, and ap- plauded Congressman Robert Henry, ot Texas, who in his speech nominat- ed William Jennings Bryan and Con greseman Charles A. Towne, of New York, as president and vice-presi- dont, respectively, on the next Demo- ¢ratic ticket, with Alton B. Parker as chief juetice of the supreme court.

There fs little doubt the results this fall will be a great disappointment and sorrow to the Republican leaders who were enthused to hope for vic- tory this fall, by the land side two years ago. Governor Folk issued orders to the police commisstoners in St. Joseph “to put on the lid,” following the de- elsion of the Kansas City Court of Appeals that cities of the second class could regulate the liquor traffic to clothier, says 1t 1s the first time since pare for @& glorio WON'T STAND FOR IT.

Tut Times is pleased—more than happy over the result, and areatly amused in watching how the old line Republicans, who havefought valiantly here for years to preserve their organization, will now aselst in boosting the new converts and the old renegades into fat offices from which the faithful have been kept all these years. It has past the amus- ing stage and has become pathetic, and we do not believe that old line Republicans will etand such treat ment any more than old line Demo crate would, and they wouldn’t stand for it at all. State Committee Meeting. The Democratic State Committee metatSt. Louis last Friday. Among other important matters acted on, the headquarters was moved from the Planters, where {¢ had been es- tablished by Chairman Evans, tothe parlor floors of the LaClede, the old quarters from which so many suc- cessful campaigns have been conduct- ed {n Missouri. Lieut. Governor Ruby was selected as vice-chairman and virtually given charge of the campaign. R. W. Napler, of Cald- well county, was elected secretary over U, A. McBride, of Warrensburg, by the close vote of 17 to 15. In the matter of the contest in the judicial committee of the 26th district where two stood for convention and two for a primary, referred to the @ convention was ordered. From every section of the state en As predicted. would happen, when under the law allowing theircharters suit themselves, the policeand saloon men clashed last Sunday. A large number of saloon men were arrested, but gave bond and went to their saloons. They were re-arrested and held without bond, until released by Circult Judge Ramey on habeas corpus proceedings. There will bea strong effort to amend the ordinance. Governor Folk declares his intention to close the saloons on Sunday atall hazards. ————— The exeursion trains being run Sundays now include Butler in the published schedule. Joe Meyer, the the road was bullé in the early eigh- ties that Butler has been advertised. A large number of citizens contested the payment of their notes, made to secure the road, because the depot was not located to their liking. They were ultimately compelled to pay the notes and the officials, in retaliation at what they conceived unfair treat ment, refused to advertise the town or extend her any special courtesies. We are glad to say that has completely died out, and Butler fs Placed on a par with all other first class towns on the line. : SS With the absolute certainty that Mr. Bryan will lead the ticket two years from now, there is every incen- itive that the Democrats <T~ JAN AGENT OF THE — GREAT SPIRIT. Clark Sproul Says He is the Medium Through Which the Spirit Contest, Begun at the Crucifixion of Christ, is to be Settled. TO BE TRIED FOR LUNACY. To-day, in the probate court, Clark Sproul, who lives near Hume with his mother, will be tried for lunacy, on information signed by M. L Beadles, J. L. MeConnell and Dr. J. H. Williams. Sproul is a single man, about 40 years old and owns 80 acres of land in Howard town- ship. He possesses an hallucination that he is the medium through which is to be settled a great spiritual con- test, which has been golng on since the cructfication of Christ. He fur- ther imagines Dr. E. N. Chastaia of Butler and Dr. J. H. Williams of Hume are ina conspiracy to defeat the will of the Great Spirit working through him, and he ts anxious to have the matter come before the courts. He wae in communication with a Spiritualist in Nebraska, who was arrested by the post office authori- ties on a fraud order. Sproul went to Nebraeks to straighten the matter out, but did not accomplish much He recently. made a trip to Jefferson City and interviewed Judge Graves, Governor Folk and Attorney Gener- al Hadley, but failed to gain the sat- isfaction he sought. He then went to Kansas City to ‘see Judge Phillips, and of this trip the World has the following: “I want to see Judge Philips. He’s the United States judge, isn’t he? Yes, sir; I want to see judge Philips right away. It’s important. Who am I? Well, sir, I’m the sensitive medium of the world. Through me the great spirit who salle on fleecy clouds speaks divine words to his earthly subjects. The great spirit has spoken and I delivered his dect- sion on the divine contest, a contest which was started as the Savior was raised aloft on the cross. Two doc- tors are trying to defeat the decision of the great spirit of which I hav spoken. I want to see Judge Philip» and have these men stopped. They must not defeat the decision. I want & case against them.” The author of these weird words sentences stood {i the door of Judge Philips’s chambers in the federal building this morning and seemed very much disappointed when in- formed that he could not see the judge. He wasa red faced man of middle age. His manner und ap- ) pearance bespoke his rural rearing. | He gave bis name as Sprouts and fs sald to own 80 acres of land in Bates | county. He claims that he has delivered an oral decision concerning a divine contest that bas been going on since thecrucifixion of the Christ. Hesays that he gave the decision in the of- | tice ofa physician of Rich Hill, Mo. He further claims that thie physician | has conspired with another doctor to defeat the divine decision. His trip to Kansas City was for the -ur- pose of having Judge Philips try the | physicians for conspiriog to defeat | the decision.” Sproul isnow In charge of the Sheriff and his case will come before | Probate Judge Silvers to-day for final hearing.
