To Urge Missouri Shaft. Vicksburg, Mlss., Oct.—As a result | of the visit to the Vicksburg National | Park, once the scene of the great Civil War conflict, by Governor Had- ley, Missouri Congressmen, St. Louis city officials and members of the St. Louis Business Men’s League, the next Missouri Legislature will be urg- ed to appropriate $100,000 for aj} monument in memory of the Missou- rians who died on the battlefield here. Practically every great state in the Union is represented bya tablet, shaft or mausoleum, except Missouri. The Governors, Senators, Con- gressmen and others, who came by rail, were} taken over the park in automobiles. $100 Reward, $100.

Jasper County Democrat. City illustrates the effort Gov. Hadley to run Missouri in the interest of the Republican party. He appointed one Thomas R. Marks, a Republican, | president of the police board. Marks {has no more regard for the taxpayers | than the Vanderbilt whose sentiment action. nually appropriated by the city of Kansas City is wholly insufficient to maintain the police as Marks wants jit, and upon the refusal of the law | making power of Kansas City to ap-| propriate what Mark's and Hadley police board machine wants, the said | machine brings a mandamus suit in | the Supreme Court to compel Kansas | | City to turn its revenues over to the | | Hadley machine. Marks named $575,- |000 in the suit, but the city counsellor | {figures that the estimates for the sup- | port of the police call for $749,631.66. | The attorney for Kansas City in de- |fending the suit says that the Board | | has created a large number of illegal | ‘and useless offices, such as attorney | assistant secretary to the chief at $900 | per year, secretary to the chief of de-| tectives; and a large number of clerks jand attaches of the department, a | complete list of which Hadley’s police | Board has refused to furnish to the city authorities. The incident furnishes another | demonstration of the natural republi- | tendency to squander public | ean |funds, to build a partisan machine | with the money of the people. Every ‘time a Republican is elected to office |he makes a dive for more money. If there is not enough in sight, and to a | typical republican official there never is, he forthwith proceeds to raise taxes. This is now the characteris- tic feature of the Hadley administra- ition.

When Lumbattis offered to prepare the pos- sum himself, his wife refused to al- low him to use the kitchen utensils. John ate corn beef and cabbage.

ANG | OREM BARRE Me BOOK #L0 /Armed Men Stole the Ballots. | Jackson, Ky., Oct.—Breathitt coun- | ty, the seat of a feud which has been | a feature of the political history for | many years past, is in the midst of a campaign which threatens to result} in trouble before the approaching | election of November 2nd is over. A | full set of county officers is to be elected and there has been excite-| ment for several weeks. Feeling culminated in the seizure | of the stock of official ballots by a} body of armed men, who forcibly took them froma local bank, where they had been deposited for safe | keeping, and made off with them to} a small hamlet in an almost inacces- bed part of the county. Sheriff Crawford, armed with warrants for the arrest of H. Hurst, county clerk, and William S. Sebastain summoned a posse and went after the men and ballots. The sheriff says that when he and his posse approached the house in which the ballots are alleged to be held, they were covered with sixty guns. The sheriff and his men returned to Jackson.
