Phere are anny coal miners tn Mis- soul, aud they will not be apt to forget the mauy services of William J Stone in thelr behalf. Twenty years ago, When he was a member of the National Congress, there was grease complains’ among the miners of bis district that tue appliances for safety were Inadequate and that the screens used were permitting lunge amounts of coal to wo through 4s waste, for which the miner got - bobbing, but which the company sold. Bills were {ntroduced in the Missourt Loylslature, one among others by Representative Richards, of Macon county. A delegation of miners who lived at Rich Hill, which was in Mr. Stone's alssrict, went to his home as Nevada, and asked him bo go to Jefferson Clty and appeal to the legislature for the enactment of Representative Richards’ bill, He went with & committee of miners and urged the passage of the measure. Subsequently, in 1895, while he was Governor, numerous laws were en- acted for the protection of coal min- ers and among others, prescribing the kinds of oj!s to be used fn illum. Dating mines, requiring: that explo- alves be securely kept tn boxes; reg- ulatiog prosecution of work, with apecial reference to provisions for {ngress and egicss of alr, and so forth; prohibiting the employmentot {nexperienced parties; requiring a datly examination of mines generat {ng gases; requiring shafts to be pro- vided wish travellag waye; !mposing cerbaln regular obligations upon the welghmen, and authorizing the min- + ers to employ a check-welghmen, All these things were {mportant to the miners, and Stone helped to secure + them, Since he has been {n the Sen- ate he bas advocated on the floor of the Senate appropriations for the in- vestigation of mining disaeters for the purpoee of getting data for the use of she states in preparing laws for the safety of mines. Stone ts the friend of the coal miners, and has rendered substantial service for them. SPLENDID TICKET, WELL DISTRIBUTED.

Tue Times will have more to say of these excel- lens gentlemen as the campaign STONE IN BUTLER. Large and Enthusiastic Bates County Audience Greets the | Senator and Listen to a Good | Democratic Speech. Senator Stone spoke to ove of the j largest and most enthustaetic gath- jerlng of farmers of any political j meeting held in Butler for a number of years on Monday afternoon. | Senator Stone arrived on the noon train from the north and was met by a reception committee composed of the following gentlemen: 0. M Burkhart, De C. Mize, J. R. Simpson, Jas. G. Walker, Porter Allison, Squire F. M. Taylor, L. E. Dune- worth, W. B. Weeks and J. E. Wil- liams, and taken to the Pennell Hotel for dinner. The court room, one of the largest in the esate, was crowded to Ite ut- most capactty and the crowd was extended out {nto the big halle. Not withstanding the excessive hot weath- er the Senator held his audience for two and « halt hours with a good old-fashioned Democratic speech. He only referred to his opponent once and then in a jocular veln, when he sald: “If l should die to-night and Gov. Folk be translated, as was the prophes of old, which ts hardly probable, but if he was and I was present | would wish him bon voy- age, just as capable and worthy men would be found to contest for thesenatorship, and the world would move on without @ jar.” He refer- red to himeelf personally once by saying, that after a public service of six years In Congress, four as Gov- ernor and one term fn the U.S. Sen- ate, the only flaw his enemies could pick fo his ofticlal acts, was that by requests he introduced a bill in the Senate to give a citizen of Missourl a hearfng. That as governor he had never refused a hearing for a pris- oner for a pardon or -to remit a fine, that he seldom granted their re quests, but he always gave a fulland fair hearing to’ any cltizen of Mis- sourt, After the senator’s epeech:he was given an impromptu reception, men and women passing in line to shake his hand and many assuring him of thelr eupport Senator Stone left on the night train and spoke at ElDorado Tues- day afternoon and at Appleton City at night.

The people of Bates county, irre spective of political affiliations, are very much gratified at the magnifi- tant race made by the couuty’s dis- tinguished citizen, Judge Waller W. Graves. Out of 114 counties {n the state he carried 108 and all the big cities. The official returns will not be announced from the Secretary of State’s office before the last of the week, but from unofficial returne it ie learned that his majority will be greater than any candidate on the tickes who had opposition. Judge Graves’ splendid vote throughout the whole state is not credited alone to his personal popularity, though that fe his great stronghold, but to the fact that he ts recognized: as one of the ablest jurists in the state. The lawyers in the state who know his ability were a large factgr in his nomination, and will be giviag him esplendid majority at the polls in November. Col. Richard Kerens has filed no- tice with the secretary of state that he will contest for the Republican nomination for United States Sena- tor, at the general election. Col.Joe Black, of Ray county, will be his competitor. Col. Kerens, by hold- ing bie forces from voting for Neid- ringhaus, made it possible for War: ner’s election, and in the natare of political gratitude the Senator's wards Kerens, but will they? friends ought to feel very kindly to-| Rich Hili aleo 50 ft weet side bik 1 Shawnee—J. 8, Taylor.

The Rich Hill Bank of Rich Hill, Mo., is not Hable for the $4,000 worth of stock it held in the defunct Bates National Bank of Butler ac- cording to an opinion handed down by the United Statee Gourt of Ap- peals yesterday, affirming the find- fog of the Circuit Court. William J Butler, receiver for the Bates Nat’ brought sult againet the Rich Hill Bank, Frank McVey and W. F. Tygard to recover a stockholders’ assessment levied by the cbmptroller of currency, alleging that the Rich Hill Bank owned forty shares of $100 each {n the name of Tygard as trus tee; that the latter had the stock transferred to McVey, who, the pet!- tion alleged, was a farmhand tn Tygard’s employ and tnsolvent; that the transfer wae made for the fraud- ulent purpose of avoiding the ad- ditional Hability tn sald etock. The Court of Appeals, in affirming the decision of the lower court, states that the petition of the plaintiff fail. ed to allege the {nsolvency of the national bank at the time of the transler and asserts that there is no evidence to show that the Rich Hill Bank or {te officere had knowledge of the bank’s insolvency at the time of the tranefer.
