Mr. Wu intends to live long
enough to find the answers to all
the qnestons he has asked in
his earlier career.
An antiseptic campaign fund
is all right in its way, no doubt,
but an ante-up campaign is what
both parties are looking for.
Mr. Fairbanks spoke at Que-
bec as earnestly and as conscien-
iously as if a hope of the presi-
dency were still before him.
Kentucky is mistaken in claim-
ing possession of the only don-
key that chews tobacco. There
, are plenty of them in other
states. -
"What is Democracy?" asks
John Temple Graves who should
write direct to Gov. Haskell of
Oklahoma instead of bothering
busy folks.
The Richmond Va., Times
Dispatch, which opposed Bryan's
nomination is now supporting
him as enthusiastically as Bryan
• supported Parker in 1904.
The railroad presidents are
unable to agree on the questions
of raising freight rates and the
matter has been postponed,
probably until after the election.
Not only will Mr. Roosevelt
change a dollar a word on his
hunting trip, but he will reserve
the right to shorten some of the
words by his own system ef
spelling reform.
Mr. Bryan says that "La Pa-
kma" is his favorite - tune. This
mrprise folks who thought his
favorite tune was "Waltz me
around again Willie," with the
words ond music by MissDemoc-
racy.
"The silly season is on, as ev-
erybody can see by the ravings
of the democratic editorials,"
says the Pittsburg press. And
if a democratic sheet isn't han-
dy, you may find in a republican
organ something just as good.
£The superintendent of police
in Washington is planning a
crusade against unnecessary
noises. If this crusade had be-
gun while congress was in ses-
sion it might have been inter-
preted as a personal attack up-
on Senator Jeff Davis.

Coogreitinan Henry Visited Belton.
Hon. R. L. Henry, who has
b en recently re-elected to con
gress from this district spent
the day in Belton Tuesday. He
feels very jubilant over his vic-
tory, and says that the chances
are that the Democrats will elect
Bryan and Kern, in which event
he says he will see that his
district is strictly in the swim.
In this counection it might be
mentioned that Mr. Henry says
that there is no uncertainty
about the matter of Belton get-
ting an appropriation at the next
■lession of congress for site for a
post office building, and he thinks
that he can go further and get an
appropriation for a hundred
thousand dollar building also.
In case the de moc rats ares ucess-
ful thi^ year he says that he will
get both these appropriations
beyond the shadow of a doubt,
and if they are not he has the as-
surance of the appropriation for
the Belton site. This is certain-
ly gratifying news will be appre-
ciated not only by the citizens of
Belton but everyone in this sec-
tion of the country.
Miss Monnie White Dead.
On last Saturday at the home
of her brother-.n-law, Deputy
County Clerk R. V. Nichols in the
city, Miss Monnie White died of
typhoid fever. Miss White was
a lovely christian character,
faith in lord and in her religion
was steadfast until the end.
Calling her sister and brother to
her bedside just before her death
she told them that she would
soon pass over the river of death,
and that the way was all clear;
then bidding her sister, Mrs.
Cranor to opsn the gate that she
might enter heaven and asking
them all to meet her beyond the
s}des she soon passed away.
Miss White wa* born in Ken
tucky in 1892. After the death
of her mother, she went to lhn
with a sister in Colorado. She
joined the Christian church at
Pueblo, Colo., in 1906 and lived
a consistent christian life until
her death. Her father, who is a
minister of the Christian church
now livts in Tenn. On account
of ill health he was unable to
come .n response to a message
that his daughter was very ill.
Miss White is survived by
four sisters: Miss Maude White
and Mrs. R. V. Nichols of Belton
and Mesdames George Cranor
and Ada Powell of Sparta; and a
brother, Horace White of San
Antonio, all of whom were with
her at the time of her death.
The funeral was conducted at
the home of Mr. Nichols at 2:30
m. Sunday by Pastor W. M.
illiams of the Christian church.
And at 3:30 a special car on tne
interurban carried the remains
and a large funesal party to Tem-
ple, where th° body was tender-
ly laid away in the family bury-
ing grounds. A Friend.

Thursday was the opening day

addressed them. While the crowd
in attendance is not large, all

Today will be an interesing one
and it Is expected that a very
large crowd will be out to hear
the speaking.

THE NEW NIOLINE
THE IRONCLAD WAGON!!
Five hundred men, master# of the wagon-
maker's craft, put the best efforts of their
hands and brains iuto the making of New
Moline Wagons.
With its gear-
ing of select Hick-
ory and tough
White Oak and its
box with Yellow
Fine Bottom,
grooved and
matched, the New
Moline Wagon has
a foundation of
air-seasoned lum-
ber that will last
for years.
IPs so strongly rtlnfgrctd with oxlra hairy Iron throughout, thai termors call It
the "Ironclad" Wagon.
Pole, doubletrees, singletrees, gearing and box are so thoroughly pro-
tected and strongly braced with heavy ironing that its solidity and
durability defy the test of time.
Its dust-proof skeins keep out every particle of dust and dirt.
Lightest Running Wagon in the World
The New Moline is built right, from tbe
ground up. It's a light-running Wagon, and
the longer you use It the better you'll like it, for
it's got more up-to-date features, and gives more
years of satisfactory service than any ordinary
wagon. We've been perfecting this wagon
