We.know full well what 1s above the hard Ime- stone rock, what every driller fs only too willing to call the “Misstssipp! Limestone,” which 1s down between 1,500 and 2,000 fees. It 1s wate of both time and money for anybody to sink @ hole, unless they {ntend to wo below. that formation. Thissame condition existed about lola, Kan- sas, for years, until finally an enter- prising company made @ contract witha driller to go down at least 3,000 feet, without regard to “Mis- slesippi Limestone,” and further ff the company so directed, when both of! and gas was discovered below shat formation and the great olland was tields of Kansas were opened up. | If the parties styling themselves the Butler & Lola O!l and Gas company, | have the nerve so go through this hard limestone formation, which they | will strike in about 2,000 feet, their efforts will more than likely becrown- ed with glorious success. If they in- tend to stop when they reach {the hard drilling, they are wasting}both thelr time and money. JUDGE A. D, HYDE, The subject of this sketch Is}ask- ing the Democrats of the southern district for an endorsement of his two years’ services on the bench by a re- nomination at the August primaries. Judge Hyde has been a faithful mem- ber of the county court, and has been extremely conscientious In the dis- charge of every duty while acting In that capacity. If he has erred at apy time, {¢ has been of the head and not of the heart, for he has shown a disposition on all occasions to be fair and just to all interests and all parties. He hae looked after the in- terests of his constituents with fidell- ty. Judge Hyde has ever been a loyal Democrat, active in his party’s support. Heis » most affable gen- tleman, enjoys the respect and es- teem of his neighbors, and nominat- ed, would be re-elected by the usual Democratic majorities. od G. W. STITH Announces in Tue Times as @ candi- date at the primary election for the] Democratic nomination of county treasurer. Judge Stith served his county faithfully as associate judge of the county court. He has been a citizen of Bates county for a long term of years and always stood high n the estimation of the people. He {ea most affable gentleman, cour) teous and accommodating to all with whom he comes in contact. Jadge Stith has been a Democrat all his life and always devoted his beet energies to the success of his party. He fe well qualified to perform the duties ofthe office to which. he ae-| pires, aud his acquaintance and well known probity would make him him ite Sarees SO IULAT AFTER ROBINSON'S SCALP tev. U.G. Robinson, Superin ter of the S:ate Ant! Saloon league, announces his Cefy to those mem vers of the league who threate: to remove him from active charge o' she organization at Sedalia conven tion June Sth, 9h and 10th H makes the following announcemeu! through public print: “The league has been incorporated with myself as State Superintendent for two years,” he said, “and all talk about removing mets made by the men whom | recently removed ar members of the Siate Heidquarter- Commistee—The Reverened W. B Palmore, St. Louls; the Revereneco ©. R. Carlos, Kansas City, and Judge J. H. Stevens, Ss Louts These men attempted to dictate t me how the league should be rum and, as they were my appointees, | exercised the same right in deposing them as I did {in appointing them.” The league would have had a much higher standing {n Missourt tf the Rev. Robinson had permitted such men ae Rey, Palmore, Rev, Carlos and Judge Stevens to dictate how the league should be run, The ur- fair and bitter partisan spirit shown by Robinson and the effort to turn the league {ntoa political machine to advance the interests of his party has not redowned to the good of the order, and {f {ts friends wish to per- petuate ft the sooner they get rid of Robinson the better for the league. Of Interest to Democrats. The Natfonal Democratic Congre- stonal Campaign Committee has be gun active operations at {ts head- quarters at Washington, D.C, In additfon to {ts regular work, it ts now preparing a campaign hand- book which {t hopes to have ready for distribution by July 1—two or | shree months earller than heretofore. The Committee fs charged with the duty of assisting, In every way posst- ble, the election of a Democratic Con. gress. We wish the active co-opera- tlom of every voter in the United States who belleves, with us, that the election of a Democratic Con- gress would greatly benetit the coun- try. We must rely upon the people to sustain our work by giving tnfor mation as to local conditions, and suggestions for our guidance. Each individual can at least ald us by making a contribution. Will he not do so and interest others in he!p- ing us, t00? We wish our campaign hand-book distributed as generally as possible, and we will furnish a copy, as soon as published, to every one who con tributes to our Committee. Send remittances to me at Wash- {ngton, D.C. James T. Luoyn, Chairman. Drowns in Mine; Legislator Saved. Joplin, Mo., May 28 —George P.

The party was on an inspection tour with a view of purchasing the property. Roach fs in a critical condition.
