ROYAL SPORT PROMISED, There is an active and determined fight being waged in Republican local ranks over a successor to Postmaster Wix, whose term expires the first of next month, Judge Clark Wix, for re-appointment, and Prof. Arthur Chambers are the principal candi- dates, with O. D. Austin as a com- promise possibility, owing to his long- time friendship for Senator Warner. The two factions of the Republican party are lined up in battle royal and the general public is not aware of the extreme bitterness of the contesting forces. Prof. Chambers appears to have the local party organization, and it is said the chief patronage distribu- tor of the district, banker John B. Egger, of Appleton City, has espous- ed his cause. On the other hand Judge Wix has a strong local follow- ing, and it is said has friends at court that have entrance to the inner sanc- tuary. The local Republican papers, the Republican-Press and the Record, have shown a disposition to line up against Wix, and there is strong talk that a new Republican paper is to be started that will look after the Judge’s interests. In fact this project has advanced to the stage that the new Richmond is already here making his arrangements, the merchants have been interviewed and the nucleus to a subscription list obtained. Hot times are promised, and we propose to get a seat on the top rail of the fence early and obtain a full view of the fireworks. Sick ’em Tige. May the best man win. Mack Crticises Taft Speech. Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 28.—Chair- man Norman E. Mack, of the Demo- cratic National Committee, makes it evident in the March number of his magazine, The National Monthly, that he believes the tariff and the high cost of living are to be two of the principal issues of the Democratic congressional campaigns of the pres- ent year. Mr. Mack sharply criticises the tariff portion of President Taft’s Lin- coln Day speech in New York and de- clares the President cannot now sus- tain his Winona speech without re- pudiating the New York address, or vice versa, and that he must disavow Senator Aldrich or withdraw his de- MY STERIOUS STRANGER DIES; Was It Suicide or Accident? No-| body Knows Either Man or Cause. | An unknown man arrived in Rich Hill Friday night. As he got off the train, it was noticed that he was junder the influence of drink, and |Policeman Starigel promptly inter- viewed him with the view of either taking him to the station or to a hotel. |The man declined to give his name, j but stated that he had the means to pay for his lodging, so the officer |took him to the Romey restaurant jand lodging house, where shortly lafter his arrival he retired to his | room. Next morning he slept late and when an effort was made to arouse |him, he replied, but in a stupefied manner, and, it being presumed that the man was sleeping offa debauch he was not again disturbed that day, and did not leave his room. On Sun- day morning when another attempt was made to arouse him, it was dis- covered that he was dead. The officers were promptly notified and an investigation resulted in the discovery that the man had among his effects a bottle of strychnine and two bottles of morphine—one of the latter being empty. Besides this the dead man’s clothing contained a Union Pac. fare receipt, a purse with between $40 or $50 in it, a spectacle case with the address of a Junction City, Kansas, jeweler, and some minor articles, but nothing to lead to his own name. The stranger was a man of about 65 years of age, 5 ft. 7 in. tall, well proportioned, weighing 160 to 165 Ibs., had grey hairand full grey beard, a scar or bullet mark on fore- head and tattoo mark on lower arm. He wore a blue suit of clothes, and it is inferred that he had been a soldier. An inquest was held about ten o'clock this forenoon at the Wheel- barger undertaking establishment by Coroner Lusk. The verdict was that death came from an overdose of morphine ad- ministered by his own hand—but whether with suicidal intent or by accident is not known. The corpse is being held with the hope of identification. Mulberry and Western Bates. We are Showing Beautiful New Models in GEORGE B.
