Bull Moose Debts Unpaid Jefferson City, Mo., August 29.— If some of the rampant Bull Moosers will dig up about $400 and send it to Jesse A. Tolerton at Jefferson City to pay off certain hills incurred in the work of securing delegates from Mis- souri for the third term candidate he will be very thankful to them. Toward the close of the cam aign Tolerton ran out of funds and person- ally pledged himself to pay the cost of special trains and other expendi- tures here and there, believing that it would only be necessary to wire the Dixon crowd to procureanamount sufficient to meet these bills. Having at that time gotten about all they expected or could get out of Missouri in the way of delegates, the men in charge of the Roosevelt bar- rel flatly refused to give the Roose- velt workers in Missouri any more funds. The fact that Tolerton would be forced to dip into his own pocket to meet bills incurred in behalf of Roosevelt had no weight with the colonel’s managers. Some of the claimants are wanting their money and Tolerton will soon have te dig up unless the Bull Moos- ers come to his rescue, which he con- siders very unlikely. For Sale. Two registered Poland-China hogs. 9 months old, boar and gilt of Har- shaw stock. Call on or address W. H. HUPP, 47-tf Butler, Mo.
