THAT CORRUPTION FUND. } The New York Sun thus puts in chronological order the dates that led up to the great corruption fund that Judge Parker mentioned and for which he was made a member of ) R posevelt’s annanias club: “Oa October 28, 1904, sixteen days before the election, Chairman Odell, of the New York Republican State Committee, reported the state to be in danger both as to Roosevelt and Higyins. Ou October 24th Edward H, Harri- man was called tn. On October 28th Mr. Harriman journeyed to Washington and con- sulted with Presideat Roosevelt. On October 293h Mr. Harriman re turned to New York City and got in- to action. On October 31st, eight days; before ) election, known for a generation as Ag Dough day in the state, $200,000 of 2 vtho $260,000 ratsed by Mr. Harri- i man was turned over to Chairman Odell for use in the state of New York. There were sixty county chatrmen to be appensed, sixty county chairmen not accustomed so disappointment on Dough Day. Hlection day was November 8th.” _ la the republican vernacular of Now York the word “dough” means money to corrupt the voters of the etate, and we have the assurance of Edward H. Harriman that 50,000 jt = Public Sale. On Friday, October 18h; 1907, political pot “am shore ’er boilin” these melancholy days. Ex- Congressman Will Cowherd, of Kan- sas City, lass week announced his candidacy for the Democratic noml- nation for governor, and ex-Mayor Jim Reed’s private secretary gives it out authoritatively, presumably, that this action of Mr. Cowherd doesn’t choke off Mr. Reed. For awhile the Alphonse and Gaston act was engaged in between these two gentlemen, but Mr. Reed slipped off down to Joplin and in one of his characteristic speeches bitterly as- sailed corporations and everyone in aby way connected with them and at the same time an editorial appeared in the Joplin Globe espousing Reed’s cause and endorsing all his vagaries. This was taken by Cowherd and his friends as a thinly veiled assault up- on the ex-congressman, who is the local attorney for the Frisco and at torney for the telegraph companies. Now a scrap {s looked for between the Cowherd and Reed forces. I+ is sald by the knowing ones that it is not at all improbable that Judge William H. Wallace will get into the race also, as his radical ralings re- specting the Sunday closing of all theaters and other amusement re sortsin Kansas City, is looked upon asa bid fn that direction. The urgent’ demand from nearly every county in the state that ex- Attorney General Edward C. Crow become a candidate will probably cause that geatleman to disregard his personal feelings and wishes and state by the old time majorities. PETE LONE ETO, It is reported from 88.

Crow will probably be nominated and with Bryan at the head of the National ticket, the Democrats will sweep the It is CHEAPER in the LONG RUN to buy the BEST That is why we advise you to select Reed’s Ladies Fine Shoes and Buster Brown Blue Ribbon School Shoes. They are made with style, of perféct leather, give perfect wear and a comfortable fit. It is satd that some one has dug up an old indictment against George Washington for tax dodging. This remiudes us of one of the stories that the late Senator Vest used to tell on himeelf, says the Moberly Daily Dem- ocrat. Along iu the later years of his life he was at Sedalia and meta number of gentlemen who had known him a number of years before when he was not as temperate as he grew to be later. One of them {nsisted up- ou trying so calito the senator’s mind the time he helped to put him to bed In somewhat of an inebriated condition. The senator’s memory not being specially active in that di- rection, the gentleman continued to press the matter until at last the senator remarked, ‘All that I have to say about itis, that—you—are d——i remintecent.” So it seems to us was the fellow who found the in- dictment against the father of our country. Local Option in Bates, One J. M. Harrison is in thecounty and has been for several weeks rep- resenting, as he claims, the Anti- saloon League, and trying to organ- ize a league in Bates. He has issued a call for a meeting in Butler on Sat- urday, October 26th, and advises that each schvol district is entitled to four delegates. He informs us that petitions to the counsy court are being signed, asking the court to call an election for the county to vote on local option and that peti- tions will be presented to the:city councils of Butler and Rich Hill to hold elections on the same day ae in the county.

Amsterdam Enterprise, Monday Clyde Walley, living in the north end of the county, was in town on business. He was driving a pair of young mules. While driving east on Malin street, as he was returning home, a couple of dogs ran out and barked at the team, they swerved quickly to the right, breaking the buggy pole. Clyde was pulled out of the buggy and both wheels passed over his body. His sister, Mrs. Asa Roster, who was in the buggy with him, leaped out safely on the start. The mules broke loose from the buggy, ran through Frank Smith’s yard and stopped at the barn. Clyde was in an accident some time back and had three ribs broken. The buggy Monday passed over this part of his body, but luckily he was not injured. Another Announcement Party. Mies Sallie Wix entertained a select party of young lady friends at a dinner on Tuesday evening, at the home of her parent#, Postmaster and Mrs. Clark Wix, on Pine street, in honor of Miss Maggie Smith, and for the parpose of announcing her marriage on Tuesday, Nov. 5th’ to Will T. Phillips. The home was beautifully decorated, red hearts pre- dominating. The supper was de- licious and daintily served.
