A New Hampshire man, with the benediction, ‘‘God help you,” re- linquished his wife to her lover, which strikes us as carrying revenge’ a long way. pee The tariff tax amounts to $200 per year for each family of five. It is time to lift the burden. Every dollar contributed to the Democratic fund will help to remove that burden. The State Federation of Labor strongly opposes the Republican plan to manufacture school books in the state penitentiary. The Republican party has never been the friend of the laboring man.

The Democratic State platform this year carries with it the ring of sin- cerity and truth. It is strong and clear. It contains no pitfalls to mis- lead, no “jokers” to deceive. And it is backed by candidates who mean what they say. The Monday Evening Bridge Club gave a delightful dance at the armory hall Saturday night in honor of the approaching marriage of Miss Naomi T. Smith to Dr. Robert Megraw at Fayette, Mo. About 100 guests were present. The Missouri stand-patters are ser- \iously considering a plan to disfran- 'chise the Bull Moosers by resort to the writ of injunction. ‘Government b§ injunction,’’ it will be remem- bered, is a cardinal principle of the old Republican creed. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kayser, of Kansas City, died | Saturday, September 21, at the home of John Ferguson in this city. Fu- neral services, conducted by the Rev.

Cowherd has done the handsome thing by writing his newspaper friends, thanking them for their allegiance in the primary, and urging support of Elliott W. Major and the entire Democratic \ticket.

And it’s just like Cowherd, too. | Fred Boehm Dead | Fred Boehm died at his home near | Stumptown, nortneast of the river, jabout four o’clock Saturday evening, jaged 54 years, and was buried in Double Branch Cemetery Sunday afternoon.

The Sheriff reports having enjoyed some fine duck shooting. A Democratic state ticket has been nominated without a factional fight. It is a ticket made up of country people, for the most part, and the candidates are personally known to the country people as men of high character and proven ability. “<A stay-at-home vote in the country, lulled to apathy by a feeling of over confidence, can defeat the Democra- tic ticket this year. But nothing else can. An extra fast freight, north bound, collided with an extra stock train at the junction south of this city about midnight Friday night. The engine of the former was practically demol- ished and several cattle on the stock train were killed. None of the crews were injured. The stock train was just coming onto the main line from the interstate branch when the fast freight struck. Traffic was held up only a few hours. The Huntsville Times does not agree with the single-taxers. It says: “Its advocates are always harping on the point that our present system of taxation is ‘iniquitous and discrimin- ating,’”’ and at the same time they advocate a system of taxation which legalizes the very thing they claim to oppose, that of taxing one class of property owners and freeing another class of the burden. It is very strange. The most ignorant and ar- rogant should see the point.” Hon. H. O. Maxey, circuit clerk of Bates county, was in town Friday afternoon and favored the Review with a short call. Mr. Maxey has been quite busy of late and is likely to continue so throughout the next term of court, for which he is now preparing.

Watkins farm, four and one-half miles southeast of here. Yesterday was the opening day and so far over three hundred dogs have arrived, coming from California, Towa, Colorado and Missouri. A reg- ular town is platted out and there is no charge for tent room. Lawson is thirty-eight miles northeast of Kansas City and train connections are good. Motoring also is good. M. P. Wreck Near Durand, Kas. Tola, Kas., Sept. 24.—A Missouri Pacifte passenger train, eastbound, was wrecked four miles east of Dur- and, nineteen miles west of Iola, to- night. Special trains carrying phy- sicians and nurses have been sent from Yates Center and Iola. It is re- ported that one person was killed and a number injured severely. Only meager reports can be secured. The excellent clerk and keeps everything in fine shape, but he’s a clean, good man, whom we are always glad to meet.—Rich Hill Review. The Morey Stock Company, which showed at the Fisk Opera House Fair week, packed the house each night of its stay in the city, drawing probably the largest crowd each night ever attending the week’s stand of a company in this city. Manager Fisk is an experienced theatrical man and he is booking only the highest class productions and Butler people, being excellent judges of good shows, have signified their intentions of backing him up to the fullest extent. Major, Roach and Gordon, by their fearless and patriotic conduct upon the State Board of Equalization, blocked the Hadley scheme to treble the state taxes, and thus saved hun- dreds of thousands of dollars to the tax-payers of the state. They consti- tute a majority of the State Board, and their election next November will therefore be a positive guaranty that the taxes will not be increased during the next four years. Mr. Voter—what does this mean to you? Every tax-payer can figure it out to the penny. J.C. Culver, a prominent Bates county farmer, left in our display window Tuesday a dozen ears of ex- tra fine Boone County White corn on his farm this season and which has been declared by many to be as to grow anywhere or under the most favorable conditions. One of the ears carried 28 rows of grains, meas- ured 9 inches in circumference, 11 inches in length and weighed one pound and 13 ounces. If that isn’t some corn, like to know where you would go to get it?Q—Appleton City Journal. Traction Engine for Sale. For sale or trade, 12-horse power traction engine. L. P.

Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 22.—A baby girl with a transparent back, born recently to Mrs. Henry L. Hebets in Allenport, is exciting the interest of physicians. Through the ‘thin skin the internal organs plainly can be seen. By placing the child on its stomach the movements of the lungs and pulsations of the lungs may be observed. The baby apparently is in good health and is perfectly normal except for the back. It is planned to have the child placed in a hospital in the hope of having the abnormality cor- rected. - Girls Wanted.
