REGULARS’ SUIT SUBMITTED.
Judge R. J. Lea Has taken the suii
of the regular Republicans against thf
board of county election commission
ers, charging that an error had beer
committed in designating the insurg
ents “Independent Republicans,’
under advisement until Monday. The
hearing in the circuit court room
Monday morning occupied the court
an hour and a half, from 10:30 o’clock
until noon.
The regulars were represented by
U. S. Bratton, J. A. Comer and E. W.
Kimball. The insurgents were repre
sented by H. F. Auten. Judge F. M.
Fulk, chairman; De E. Bradshaw and
Scipio Jones, composing the election
commission, were present.
Mr. Bratton opened the argument
for the regulars. He went over in
detail the statements made in the
petition and the deposition of Judge
J. T. O’Hair, who had tiled it as chair
man of the county Republican central
committee. The entire argument
brought to bear was much the same
as that made by Col. Whipple, when
the Republican state central com
mittee petitioned the chancery couit
to order the secretary of state to
certify Mr. Greaves as an “Independ
ent.” Precedents in Northern and
Western states were cited.
Mr. Auten, for the insurgents, con
tended that the court had no jurisdic
tion over the question at issue, and
that if an error had been made at all,
it was in placing the qualifying word
“Independent,’ before “Republican”
on the ballot. The so-called insur
gents were as much republicans as
were the so-called regulars.
FINAL AND OFFICIAL ROUTE.
Much has been said and written
about the Missouri Pacific railroad
extension now building from Bates
ville, Arkansas. The Springfield Re
publican of last Sunday' published the
following which it claims is official
and if so it would seem that Cassville
is on the proposed line. The Re
publican says:
Springfield has been anxious to
secure the road and has had high
hopes that President George J. Gould
would see that it would he to ins ad
vantage to build that way. Aurora is
anxious that the line be built through
that place, while the people are san
guine that the White River Road will
connect there, but it will not, nor
will it go through either of the other
cities mentioned. From Buffalo City
and Yellvilie, Arkansas, the road will
be built on a straight line to connect
with the Granby extension now two
miles beyond Granby. This is offici
al.
FRISCO WRECK NEAR OSCEOLA.
Osceola, Aug. 25.—Passenger train
No. 218 on the Frisco road was
wrecked near Grider, a small station
about ten miles south of here, by
running over a cow. The engine,
tender and baggage car were thrown
from the track, and the track torn up
for quite a distance. The passenger
cars all remained on the track and
none of the passengers were hurt,
further than a severe shaking up.
With the exception of slight wounds
sustained by the fireman in jumping
from the engine, no one was hurt.
The passengers were brought to Os
ceola on handcars and in wagons.
DEPUTY SHERIFF SHOT.
Mammoth Spring, August 25.—Com
Bostic of Thayer, Mo., bartender a1

line in Missouri, shot and instantly
killed Deputy Sheriff C. C. Davis ol
the county at 3 p. m. yesterday
There being only two or three others
in the saloon at the time of the shoot
ing, it is very difficult to get the par
ticulars. Immediately after the
shooting Bostic left for Thayer, say
ing he was going to surrender to the
authorities.

SEVENTH BIRTHDAY PARTY.
; Miss Thadeese Kinman, whose
, seventh birthday was upon Monday,
remembered her friends upon that
event by inviting quite a number of
them to spend the hours from three
to six at the pretty Kinman home at
the corner of Third and Pine streets.
At this tender age, mirth is never
marred by a feeling of responsibility
and care; and joy unalloyed may
ever be depicted upon the counten
ances of the little ones at such social
gatherings.
The friendship of her guests was
evidenced by many a token which
will always remain dear as childhood
remembrances. Upon the birthday
cake, seven candles beamed away and
were used to tell the fortunes of those
present in looking through the vista
of years, which separated these young
misses from full grown maids and tel!
which of the company should in the
end prove the “old maid.” All of
those children’s pastimes, that have
been played since the oldest were
young, were indulged in and of course
enjoyed.
Misses Kate Harder, Ida Parrish,
Minnie Minor and Lucy Bailey as
sisted the little hostess in entertain
ing, and the refreshments, which
consist’ed of cream and cake were
nicely served by Misses Aubi*ey Hill,
Noreene Kinman and Mary Bailey.
Those present were Misses Jose
phine Walker, Elise Hooker, Francis
Bailey, Willie Overton and Mildi’ed
Minor, Corinne and Aleen Mosby,
Estelle Hite, Francis and Lela John
son, Dorothy Hill, Laura McMullen,
Hattie Harland, Thelma Hays, Jewell
Martin Daniel and Masters Charles
Minor, Albert Bevins, Wiley McMinn.

CAMPBELL BROTHERS SHOWS
Campbell Brothers Gave a Nice Street
Parade And a Clean Performance.
Daily Forum, Fargo, N. D: At
about 10:30 a. m., amid the music
from several excellent bands and the
cheers of thousands of people along
Broadway the elegant circus parade
of the Campbell Bros, show in tri
umph passed up Fargo’s main
thoroughfare. Ifc was a magnificent
parade. There were the rich and
costly equipages, beautiful beyond
description, the handsome uniforms,
the magnificent array of blooded
horses, the great elephant and other
smaller ones, one-humped and two
humped camels, a large number of
cages of animals, some of them open
and displaying the wild beasts of the
forests and plains, offcthe tropics and
of the mountains of the north. Sit
ting in the cages with ferocious look
ing boasts were the trainers calm but
watchful. There was the enormous
behemoth, a monster in size and
horrible in appearance, with its enor
mous mouth opening ever and anon,
closing upon the bits of food thrown
into the cavern by the trainer. Last
but not least there was the noisy
steam calliope, which always attracts
a great deal of attention and is bound
to be conspicuous. The Campbell
Bros, has a fine one. There wras the
free exhibition before the doors of the
main tent on North Broadway. The
attendance was flattering despite the
rain and the threatening elements.
Thousands thronged the large tents.
There were words of praise for the
remarkable menagerie, the large va
ri ty of splendid animals and the
special attractions were all that could
be desired. The acting was of high
order and gave entire satisfaction to
the great audience that filled the tent.
Hair raising feats brought out the
applause of the spectators again and
again and the clowns with their funny
diversions were a feature that
captured all. The Campbell Bros,
made a great bit and will no doubt
have a full tent this evening. At
Newport, August 29.
